This is where the scientists who are constantly after Ilo and Nitro are. They conduct their experiments here, most of them live here, etc. It is a cold and rather hospital-ish looking place, and is easy to get lost in unless you know the layout by heart.

Ilo woke up and looked around. She was in a test tube filled with liquid, and there were wires and small tubes connected to her. She had an air mask on. "No...not here..." She said quietly before pounding on the glass. "Let me out!" She yelled. The scientists down below just smirked.

Ilo looked around, and noticed that in a test tube beside her, was an orangy red colored kitsune. He looked like he was in his thirties perhaps, but she wasn't sure. He had a very sad look about him, and when he looked over at Ilo, something about his facial shape reminded the hedgehog girl of a kitsune she knew who recently just recovered from being robotized.

Daihoon stood infront of the dor to the place "So do we just go in?"

Kiki nodded and replied quietly. "Yep." She moved forwards into the labratory, her footsteps barely making a sound. Suddenly a muffled shout was heard from somewhere down the long hallway, but from which direction was uncertain. It didn't sound like Ilo's voice, but not long after there was a muffled yell that was definetly her. When the first yell sounded Kiki seemed to temporarily freeze. "I've heard a voice like that before..." She said quietly. She quickened her pace down the hall, hoping to find which door the sounds were coming from.

Dai followed "Is zat bad?"

"I'm not sure..." Kiki replied softly. They came to part of a hallway where there were two doors and a staircase. "Where do we go?" Kiki asked with a grimace.

"One of these doors..I hope" He said.

"But which one?" Kiki asked, looking from one door to the other.

Ilo tensed up as liquid pumped through the tubes connected to her, and struggled to not scream again. The kitsune in the other test tube had gone limp, but was still alive.

"I say the left one" He said

Kiki nodded and turned the door handle. It was locked. She looked up at Daihoon. "Uhm...can you break that down please? I...I don't think I can..." (It's just a regular door.) There was muffled sobbing from behind it.

Daihoon swiftly kicked the door off it's hinges

There was a slight shriek when the door fell, and sitting on the floor was a four tailed kitsune who resembled Kiki at a very surprising rate. She had the same eyes, the same build, heck, even the same scared look. Kiki stared at the kitsune in shock. "Wh...who are you?" The four tailed kitsune asked softly, standing up as her tails wrapped around her. Her eyes looked the pair up and down, and lingered on Kiki longer than Daihoon.

"I'm confused" He said

(Any guesses on who the four tailed kitsune is?)

"How?" The kitsune asked, stepping forwards nervously, her feet making barely any sound on the floor and her dress (which was very worn and grubby looking) moving in her wake with silence. Kiki was watching the kitsune with curiosity, and she had a look in her eyes that seemed to be one of confusion, as if she knew the kitsune, but didn't at the same time.

(Evil Kiki?! *screams*)

"Whut?" Dai asked

(*laughs* No, silly. It's Kiki's mother!)

The four tailed kitsune looked at him with confusion. "Why are you confused?" Kiki seemed to be hit with a flashback and stood still for several seconds, looking straight into the other kitsune's eyes.

Daihoon was now even more confused

(It's Kiki's mom!!! *Screams* that's good tho right?

Daihoon: That's her mom *Gulps*)

(Haha, yup. It's a good thing...sort of.

Kiki: *faints*)

The kitsune looked at Kiki, who snapped back to attention and asked. "A...are you my mom?" The kitsune smiled, tears forming in her eyes.

"Yes Kiki. I knew it was you..." She looked at Daihoon. "My husband...they've taken him in...they're doing...dreadful things to him...you have to help me, please! He and that girl...the girl with the spikes..."

"Okay...Can you tell us which way miss?" He asked still shocked by it all.

The kitsune nodded. "Yes. I...I'll lead you there...I'm Hannah." She walked past them and started up the staircase quietly. Kiki followed her, but said quietly to Daihoon as she went.

"I never remembered my mother until now..."

Thank you I'm Daihoon....really Kiki?" He asked

"Really." Kiki replied. "I don't know why though." Hannah remained silent as they assended the stair case. When they got to the top, they were on an observation deck. Hannah started crying as she pointed to two, large test tubes down below. In one was a two tailed kitsune, who was floating limply in his tank, and in the other...was Ilo, who was writhing in pain as liquid was pumped into her through small tubes connected to her body. Kiki stared in shock. There was a staircase to get down to the area just to their left. Hannah looked away, crying into one of her tails.

"Please...you have to help them..."

"Right!" Daihooon said jumping down "What hapens if I break it?"

Kiki followed Daihoon. The scientists all spun around and one of them gave a shout when Hannah flew down after them, wiping her face on her sleeve. "What the devil?!" Ilo looked at them and pounded the glass frantically. The kitsune in the other tank just looked at them weakly and mouthed something. Hannah and Kiki both took on a fighting stance. "Remove these intruders!" The scientist shouted, and all the men in the room ran for the three. Hannah, started glowing.

(Oh boy...never make a mother angry...0_0)

Daihoon spun his daggers "Bring it!"

The scientists started their attack, some drawing out switchblades, others picking up tools that'd been lying on tables nearby. Kiki attacked viciously, dodging the weapons quickly. Hannah had been cut off, but she shouted, her voice full of a venomess hatred. "CHAOS BLAST!" There was a small explosion around her, and several scientists fell, dead.

(0_0 whoa...angry kitsune...0_0)

Daihoon attacked stabbing and slashing at the men.

Soon, all but one scientist were dead. "Please have mercy on me!" He shrieked, falling backwards and pushing himself against the base of the male kitsune's tank. "I'll do anything! Anything!" Hannah glared icily at him, her tails all rigid. Kiki has an identical look, save for she wasn't glowing with Chaos energy.

Daihoon grabbed the man by his color lifting him into the air "What's going on here!?"

(Hey I replied in the Academy if you did'nt know XD)

(Ah, ok. Thanks!)

"I....I'm not th..the one i...in charge!" The man stammered. "Th...this i...is an e..experimentation t...to see h....how much a...anthros c...can cross with h...humans and sh...share appearances!" Hannah moved forwards, Kiki at her side. Hannah quickly went for the control panel near the tank with the male kitsune in it and started to frantically push the buttons. The tank started emptying.

Daihoon shoved the man hard against a wall "Why!!?"

"I don't know!" The man yelped. "I...I'm not the one in charge! I don't know the whole story, I only got hired a few days ago! I don't know why!" Hannah was now kneeling beside her husband, who was coughing and lying limply on the floor. Kiki was trying to get Ilo out of the other tank.

"If I breack that tank over there what'll happen?" He asked his voice calming a little

The man looked over nervously and replied. "It w..would harm the girl inside." He suddenly went white and shouted to Kiki. "Don't touch that button!" Kiki looked over at him, her finger just hovering over a large yellow button.

"What would it do?" She asked.

"Electric jolt...it's only used when the specimen in the tank is too active." He added quickly. "But I've never used it at all."

Daihoon carried the the man over to the controls "Get her out! do anything nother than that and I'll kill you" He shoved him into the control panel.

(Chase is looking for Z)

The man quickly nodded and started pressing buttons very fast. Soon the tank drained, the wires and tubes connected to Ilo detatched, and she was lying on the bottom of the now open test tube, coughing a bit.

(Ok)

Daihoon put the man down "Thank you"

The man nodded, took a step back, and actually fainted. "Heart of a lion that one." Kiki murmured as Ilo stood slowly and moved a little shakily towards them. Hannah and Kiki's father moved over, the male kitsune having to be held up by Hannah.

"What can we do to repay you?" He asked, coughing a bit.

"Don't ask me" Dai said walking over to Kiki.

Ilo stumbled over to them. "Thanks.." She said. Kiki nodded.

"Let's get out of here." The kitsune said softly. "I don't want anything else bad to happen." Hannah and her husband nodded, as did Ilo.

"Alright then" Dai said heading for the door.

Kiki followed quickly after, Ilo and the pair of kitsunes soon after them. "That door should lead right outside." Ilo said. "If I remember correctly." Kiki ran forwards and opened it, letting in light from outside. "Oh good..."

Daihoon smiled running up the ramp and into the piliot's seat.

Kiki followed Daihoon while Hannah, Ilo and Hannah's husband (who I'm just going to call Joe) got settled in a different room. "That was easy!" Kiki said with a smile. "And I finally got to meet my parents!" (Who are only temporary characters)

He smiled flipping some switches "Me too"

"And here I thought that would be difficult!" Kiki chimed.

Hannah and Joe smiled at Ilo. "Are you quite sure you're alright?" Hannah asked.

"I'm fine thanks." Ilo said with a nod. Joe smiled and said.

"You've got Shadow's eyes." Hannah nodded. However, Ilo hadn't been expecting anythign like that.

"Wh..what?"

"Yup" He said

Kiki giggled, looked around, then said. "We'll be back soon...I think..." She shrugged. "Eh, whatever. Just as long as I'm with you, I'm happy as ever!"

"You have Shadow's eyes." Joe repeated. "Your eyes are red like Shadow's eyes are." Ilo grimaced.

"They didn't used to be like that..." Hannah put a hand on her shoulder.

"Things change, dear. It's all part of life." There was a pause, then she said. "Joe and I are going to head home now, ok? Tell Kiki we love her though, please?"

"Why can't you tell her yourselves?"

"Same here" He said smiling still
