*Boom* everything shook.

            My eyes slowly opened. I stared at the bars of my cage. There steely grey color seemed to mock me.

            “ Attention all personnel. We have bin discovered. Commence contingency plan number four.” The speakers thru out the building all echoed the same thing.

            *Boom *

            The building shook a second time.

            ‘ Discovered huh. Maybe I can escape. No not without that basterds head on a pike’.

             The building shook a third time and a large portion of the ceiling collapsed. One piece hit my cage and smashed open part of it.

            “ Well that was easy,” I said more to myself than to the other two in the cages. Both were new subjects Z had managed to acquire. A tenuki and a harpy. They weren’t my problem. I picked up a broken bar with my right hand. The four foot long mostly strait bar would be perfect to beat Z with, and any other human that got in my way.

            “Let us out!” the tenuki yelled.

            “ No key,” I simply said as I walked out the room.

            ‘ I need the key to let them out. Have to find it after Z.’

            As I left the room I heard footsteps. To my left were two of Z’s assistance. They were the one’s in charge of the specimens.

            “ The bird’s out,” Assistant one said.

            “ I can see that retard,” Assistant two.

            “ W-what do we do?”

            “ He’s bin he for a long time. He can probably barely stand.”

            ‘ Wrong.’ I didn’t let my muscles atrophy. I did push ups and stretches every day after I lost my wing. I wanted to be prepared.

            ‘ step off with you’re left foot. Keep your center of gravity low,’ my father’s words went thru my head as I sprinted the fifteen meter’s between us.

            With a crack the bar hit assistant two in the face. His face caved in under the blow. I fallowed it with a swipe at assistant ones legs. He fell to the floor crying in pain as a masteries liquid started to seep from between his legs.

            “ Where’s Z?”

            “ D-d-d-d-d,” he stuttered thru his sobs.

            Crack. The bar broke his left arm.

            “Where’s Z?”I asked again.

            “ D-down th-th-the hall on the third l-l-l-left.” A certain bar smashed into his face.

            “ Stupid human trash. They should all just die.”

I walked down the hall. Covered in blood. A stained lab coat found itself on my person. After a strategic hole was ripped in it.

            I opened the door to Z pointing a gun at a red headed girl covered in stiches who had two guns herself. My mind barely registered the girl as my vision turned crimson. Z was all I saw. His name echoed thru my mind louder and louder.

            “ Z. Z. Z! Z!! Z!!!” The echoes in my mind found themselves on my lips as a ran at him the bar in my hand. “DIE!!!”

            They both turned there guns towards me. “ That’s what I love about you. You just won’t break. Not since I took this feather.” He said in a deep voice that contrasted his normal one as he pointed to a white feather that hung from a string around his neck.

            There was a loud bang that came from Z’s direction and then everything went dark.
