Chapter 7

ANAL Holding Facility

-Main POV: Misha-

Alone again, Misha and Star sat in shocked silence, aside from the alarm blaring. Star was the first to speak. "She took the fucking vodka with her. Now how am I supposed to get a goddamned drink?" She was mostly talking to herself, but Misha answered her anyway.

"Why don't we get the fuck out of here, then you can drink as much as you want," Misha stated as she painfully pushed herself up off the floor and walked back over to her bed. She ripped off a piece of the plastic that was covering the mattress and sat down, setting it beside her. Then she started scratching her arm, taking care to not make it bleed.

Star jumped up and rushed over to her. "What the fuck are you doing!" She exclaimed as she tried to grab Misha's wrists. Misha batted her hands away.

"I'm going to use my skin as a powder. Like Daphne's makeup," Misha stated. That earned her two raised eyebrows from Star.

"You're fucking crazy! I like it!" Star said, grinning. Then she sat down beside Misha and began scratching her own arm.

Deraj waited in his ship on the outskirts of the ANAL agency headquarters, his ship invisible. One by one, his fellow Nekawas landed, their ships invisible as well, and docked their ships to his. Deraj was the leader of this rescue mission, as well as the head of their original mission.

Relyt was the first to arrive. His short, vibrant green hair clashing with his deep violet eyes. Annod arrived next. Her rainbow hair was cut and layered so much that earthlings probably thought she was a scene girl. Aidan got here next. His blue hair was a perfect mess as if he had just rolled out of bed, and yet somehow he managed to make it look good. Lastly, Leira. She took so long to get ready for anything that she'd probably be late to her own wedding someday. Her bright pink hair was the perfect contrast to her violet eyes.

All Nekawa have violet colored eyes. However, they would put contacts in before leaving their ships. Deraj had quickly discovered contacts when he arrived on earth. Humans were shocked by the color of his eyes but most thought that they were contacts. When a teenage human walked up to him and said, "Nice contacts, man!", he had Scarlet look up what they were and invested in a variety of colored contacts for himself and for the others when they arrived.

Today, the entire group was dressed in black. They all wore form fitting Nekawa pants that looked like they were made of leather but felt like satin. They all had brown contacts in. The women wore their hair up in a tight bun in order to prevent it from being grabbed in a fight. Each had their own weapons placed strategically on their bodies, ready for war.

"About time you showed up!" Deraj said to Leira.

"Suck it, Deraj. I'm here now. Let's move," Leira said, rolling her eyes and absently smoothing her hand over her hair.

"If I had a penny for every time you were late, I'd be rich," Deraj mumbled under his breath, not quite stupid enough say it loud enough for her to hear. He knew that statement would set her off. Her attitude was like a bomb ready to explode at any moment. He continued loud enough to be heard, "Is everyone clear on the plan?" Everyone nodded their heads, aside from Leira.

"We go in and kick some asses. Find Elyk and blow this bitch up on the way out. Right?" Leira said excitedly.

"Wrong. We avoid bloodshed as much as possible to keep a lower profile. There are only five of us, six once we get Elyk back. We are not trying to start a war. All weapons need to be set to stun. Only kill if absolutely necessary. We go in together and we come out together. Everyone has an earpiece that connects to the rest of us as well as your own ship. If we get separated, report to me immediately using that," Deraj commanded as he handed Leira her earpiece.

"Sir, yes, sir!" Leira said, lazily saluting him.

"Elyk is being held here," Deraj said as he pointed at his holographic map. He continued, "We enter here and take down any threat we encounter along the way. No one moves forward without the rest of us. We need our numbers,"

They all nodded, finally focused and serious. "Any questions?" Deraj asked.

As they all shook their heads, Deraj said, "Good. Everyone turn on your cloaking device and we go in five. Four. Three. Two,"

A door slammed at the end of the hall. Moments later an odd group of people that were clearly not ANAL agents approached their cage. A handsome man with black hair lead the group, the rest flanking him. They were all attractive but he was extra gorgeous. Mmm, like a live action G.I.Joe! And he might even be better looking than Dean Winchester! Misha thought.

"...at the end of this hall!" The leader was saying as they approached. His deep voice enchanting her.

"Hey guys, mind opening this door?" Misha says, gesturing to the cage door. She continued, "or if you could just remove this collar, I can take care of the rest," The group froze, staring at Misha oddly.

Star squints her eyes, looking outside the cage. "Who the fuck are you talking to?" Star askes, confused.

"What the fuck do you mean? I'm obviously talking to the group of people outside our cage," Misha states, rolling her eyes at Star.

"Can she see us?" A blue haired guy asked, dumbfounded.

"There's no way. It's not possible," A green haired man replied.

"I can hear you guys too," Misha said, exasperated. "Why are y'all acting like you're invisible or something?"

"You're really starting to freak me out," Star stated.

The dark haired leader approached the cage, staring at her oddly. He seemed to be looking into the depths of her soul. Studying her. Misha squirmed, uncomfortable under the scrutiny.

"We're the only Nekawas here. There's no way she can see us. Unless one of y'all mated. Or began the mating link," The green haired man stated aloud as he tried to puzzle it out.

"Wow, wow, wow! I have not mated anyone nor am I looking to, dude! I just need a little assistance getting out of here. If you wouldn't mind," Misha said, beginning to feel insane.

"All of you go ahead and continue the mission. I'm going to release her and meet y'all down at Elyk's cage," The leader ordered.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"Thank you!" Misha breathed.

"Dude, if you're committed to your delusion, can I have your skin to get this collar off?" Star requested, uneasy.

"Shut up, Star. We might not need it," Misha said. Staring at the leader as the other's walked away.

"Are your imaginary friends going to break us out?" Star asked, her laugh that followed got caught in her throat as the cage door opened. "Oh, what the fuck? Is your crazy contagious?"

Misha couldn't make herself respond as she watched her dark haired hero walk through the door to her. He stared at her but she couldn't tell what he was feeling because of the collar. His face gave no indication either. He slowly reached out and touched her swollen face, anger instantly lighting his own.

"Can you remove the collar?" Misha asked, her voice cracking.

"Not here. I'll try to get it off when we get out of here. C'mon," He ordered, seeming to be shocked back into the present by her question.

He turned and began walking away slowly. Misha stood and grabbed Star. "Hurry up! Let's go!" Misha said.

"What about our collars? Can he or she get them off?" Star asked as Misha dragged her out of their cage.

"Not here but after we're out of this place. Even if he can't, I know someone who can," Misha replied.

"The door is the opposite way, why are we going this way?" Star asked.

"Because he and his friends obviously have their powers and we don't. If we stay with them then we have a better chance of getting out of here," Misha stated.

"We'll trust our new invisible, possibly imaginary, friends then," Star responded.

"Well, I can see them," Misha said, trying to wrap her head around why that was.

"And I couldn't be happier that you're a freak either!" Star said with a smile.

"You're calling me a freak and you haven't even experienced me between the sheets," Misha joked.

"Spoken like a true virgin!" Star laughed.

"You don't know that!" Misha replied, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

"I do now. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I won't tell your imaginary friends," Star teased.

"They're not imaginary. Just invisible," Misha insisted. Up ahead her dark haired hero stopped in front of an open cage where his friends were. There was another man with them. He had black hair and wore a collar. They all stared at Misha and Star as they approached. Misha pulled Star to a stop so she didn't run into the rainbow haired girl.

"Think you two can keep up? We need to move as fast as possible and get out of here before we get swarmed," The leader stated.

"We can keep up," Misha said, receiving a nod in return. She looked around and noticed that there were currently no ANAL agents in sight.

"Let's move!" He ordered, leading the way back towards the door, back towards their cage. Star followed Misha's tug and they moved together.

"At least I can see the sexy collared guy. Hmm, that collar actually looks really good on him!" Star whispered as she shamelessly ogled the collared man.

"He has nothing on the others. If you could see them you would need a fan. Too hot!" Misha whispered back.

When they reached the door, the rainbow haired girl swiped a card on the machine. Then they moved into the next room. It was another hall, this one full of doors rather than cages. Several ANAL agents lay on the floor, unconscious.

The group stopped abruptly at a seemingly random door, they all looked the same. Misha had to tug hard on Star to keep her from slamming into the guy with the blue hair. After another quick card scan, they were moving into another hallway with even more doors. There were more unconscious ANAL agents here, a lot more. And they were waking up. As the leader, the blue haired man, and the pink haired girl began putting them back to sleep, a few doors down at the end opened and more conscious ANAL agents poured in. Misha and Star let go of each other and started helping fight. It seemed that when one ANAL agent dropped, three more replaced him or her. The newcomers wore infrared gear, allowing them to see Misha's invisible friends.

Misha and all of her new friends were quickly surrounded and severely outnumbered. With their backs to each other they fought for their lives.

Evee slammed on the breaks, making her passengers grip their Oh Shit handles. "You have arrived at your destination!" Evee squealed sarcastically.

"I HATE you're driving!" Kat gritted out as she peeled herself out of the car.

"Don't let the door hit ya or the good lord split ya honey!" Evee called after her.

"Shut up, Kat! You drive worse than Evee and you know it!" Trinity yelled as she climbed out.

"Well I had fun! It was like a roller coaster!" Phoenix beamed as she also got out of the car.

As the last door closed on the car, they all became serious. The ANAL agency headquarters glared at them. It was a huge building.

"We should all stay together. They're going to have an advantage in numbers but I think they're human. I doubt they can handle us singularly but with us all together they don't stand a chance," Phoenix said, her entire body engulfing in flames as she prepared for battle.

"Agreed," Trinity and Kat said simultaneously.

"I mean, I could handle them on my own.," Evee began.

"No," Kat said. She continued, "we need to stay together this time."

"If for no other reason, then because I'm going blow this fucker up when we leave and I need to know that all of us are out. No arguing, Evee. Misha needs us," Phoenix stated.

"You're right. Let's go get our girl!" Evee said.

Together they approached the building. Trinity blew the doors down with a tornado. The girls entered and ANAL agents immediately swarmed them like cockroaches. Phoenix bagan burning them to a crisp. Trinity called the air away from their faces and suffocated them. Kat drew water from a fountain that sat in a corner of the room and drowned them where they stood by enveloping their heads in a bubble that vaguely resembled a fish bowl. Evee had vines grow up out of the floor and hung them.

The number of ANAL agents attacking them quickly ticked down as they died. After several minutes, the room was empty of living ANAL agents. The girls walked to the only door in the room and Trinity blew it down. They entered a long hall with many doors on it. Each one looked exactly the same as the next.

"Where to now?" Evee asked.

"I hear screams coming through this one," Kat said as she stood in front of a door towards the end of the hall. She had dragon hearing, allowing her to hear farther than the rest of their group.

They followed Kat, killing ANAL agents along the way. It wasn't long before they found Misha. She had a guy with green hair with her as well as that bitch from the bar that sent them to Antarctica. They were surrounded by at least fifty ANAL agents.

"There she is! Let's kill these bastards!" Evee screamed.

Bodies dropped as they made their way to Misha. She fought physically but used no powers. She was beyond covered in bruises and swelling everywhere. A collar gripped her neck.

"Dude, that's the ugliest necklace I've ever seen!" Evee stated as they finished off the last of the ANAL agents.

"Evee! Kat! Oh my glob! Trinity! Phoenix! I was beginning to think y'all weren't coming!" Misha cried as she ran to them.

Phoenix turned off her flames and embraced Misha. "Baby, we'd never not come for you," Phoenix and Trinity had raised her from the age of seven and they treated her as their own daughter.

"Let's get you home, sweetie," Trinity said with a quick hug. Then she turned and glared at Star. She continued, "right after I kick this bitches ass!"

"Agreed!" Kat says as she cracks her knuckles for emphasis.

"Wait, guys! She's my friend… can we at least wait until we're out of here to sort this out? Please?" Misha pleaded as she used her body to block them from Star.

"It's not even a fair fight. I'm pretty sure her ugly collar means she no has powers right now," Phoenix stated with a bored shrug. She didn't care either way, she was just making sure they had the facts before deciding.

"Yes! Exactly! And speaking of, can one of y'all please get this fucking thing the fuck off of me!" Misha screeched, emphasizing the collar by pulling on it.

"Fine. Whatever. We'll get the collars off of y'all and then we'll kick her ass!" Kat compromised. She walked over and invaded Misha's space to check out the collar.

"Hmmm, this looks a bit tricky. I'm not sure that I can actually get this off without hurting, possibly decapitating, you," Kat says.

"Let me see!" Evee demands as she hip bumps Kat out of her way. Kat stumbles away and bumps into something invisible, making her jump back towards Evee.

"What the fuck? There was something there!" Kat screeched, pointing at the spot she had jumped away from.

"Oh, he's one of my invisible friends. Nothing to worry about. He said sorry for being in your way," Misha stated.

"Did they drug you or something?" Trinity demanded.

"No, they didn't. Can we please focus on getting this collar off please? Evee, can you make a key?" Misha asked.

"There's no key hole but who needs a key anyway?" Evee said as she snapped her fingers and the collar popped off. It fell to the floor with a loud thump.

"Me next!" Star said excitedly.

"You can wait," Evee said with a glare.

"But, why? What have I ever done to you?" Star asked sincerely because she sincerely didn't remember.

"You dumped me and my sisters into the icy waters of Antarctica!" Evee screeched, crossing her arms to keep herself from attacking the currently powerless woman.

"Hmmm, that sounds vaguely familiar. I'm sure I had a good reason though," Star said.

"Maybe. But I definitely have a good reason to beat the breaks off you!" Evee growled.

"Yeah, you're right. We should get going," Misha said, looking away from everyone who was visible.

"You just keep getting weirder and weirder, man," Evee said to Misha as she squinted her eyes in the direction Misha was looking.
