(Spoiler For Upcoming Story)

Rocks, Ashes, Dirt and Insanity

Nicholas was smiling upon his plan of taking over the world all for himself and nothing was powerful enough to stop him. He was invincible and unstoppable. A throne of rocks, ashes dirt and insanity was built up in his command; he sat in it, feeling proud of himself for accomplishing his plan in conning Blackhack into doing everything for him. How foolish of that human to believe he would do everything she commands.

"Nick! Let ussssss go! We're family!" Mira shouted from her cage of stone and vines, tears running down her face in what has become of her friend.

Mira-or her code name, Pyra-was in her mid thirties, close to Nicholas' age. She was half a python and half a woman. She didn't look like a mermaid nor did she look like a freak; she looked more like a more beautiful reincarnation of Medusa with green snakes for hair, emerald green eyes that shined under moonlight and green scales covering her hands and bare feet.

Nick and her were one of the Experiments. Though, before the code was put inside of him, he was an abandoned experiment, trash to the ANONYMOUS laboratory. He was the most powerful out of all the other Experiments combined, he just didn't know at first. Before he was like this, he started living like a normal, pathetic human, running from the Enders and the End sickness, risking his own life for others and nearly dieing himself.

If it weren't for the code and need for his help, he would be at his grave by now.

"We might be, but I don't care. This was what I've always wanted," he chuckled slyly.

"The code hasssssss changed you! Get your head out of the cloudsssssss, Nick! Remember who you are!" she cried, peering out of her cage and holding on to the bars. "Remember how I would teach you how to handle your magic? Remember how we will alwaysssss compete who would be stronger whenever we get a tasssssk?"

"I don't have terrible memory, dear Mira," he said with a bland voice of a complete psychopath. "I'm just using you, just like how Blackhack has used me. All of the ones you love will come looking for you if they even make it through the last wave before the Fourth Phase begins."

"You wouldn't..."

He only smiled at her new tears. His other prisoners already gave up on escape after seeing what happened to the last two who tried to escape-obliterated to nothing but ashes by lightning. They leaned against the stone that made their cages and rested on their vines. They either cried the day away or sat in silence.

"Blackheart... Blackhack... Sssssandy... My friendsssss..." Mira sobbed, sounding sombre after crying almost all day after he sent his second trophy-his old friend, Evie-down to the ground, dragged by prickly roots, to be sent to the group of humans. "Why would you kill them...? Why...!?"

Nick was having enough of her whining; he wrapped her mouth in more vines, making her struggle against them, making them grip tighter. He rolled his eyes and walked over, staring blankly at her useless struggling. No one will stop him. No one.

Mira finally was able to rip the vines off her mouth with her teeth and claws but stopped being sombre with sadness. She thought about how she would be able to escape and warn her friends and the other humans of what's to come of their world. She leaned against the pillar of thick, lushous vines that was in the middle of her tiny cage.

"You haven't ate in a few dayssssss, Nick," she said, worried about his health since he hasn't eaten in a while nor drank water in front of her or the other prisoners.

He looked at her. "Why do you care all of a sudden?"

"Just because I have the code, too, doesn't mean I don't have feelings or affection. I love Jack as a soulmate and Evie as a best friend," she said, looking at him properly now that he's standing in front of her in an evil stance.

His hair was very messy and his face was smeared with the blood of who stood against him. He wore a black shirt which was dusty and a brown winter jacket that was ripped, tattered and as bloody as his face. His pants were ragged at his knees as if he fell too many times before he became the most heartless being in this world. Nick had scars and blue-black bruises on his face, still healing from whatever he had gone through when he was on the run.

"I'm jussssst worried like a friend ssssssshould when her friend lookssssss hurt," Mira said and her hands slipped against the bars that seperated her and her old friend, "Heir of the Facility."

Nick brought her closer to the bars by dragging her forward with underground roots. He was furious and his golden eyes were aflame with anger. Mira already knew he hates the term because that was his title before he was abandoned and the title was given to Blackheart-her real name is, Evie, the second most powerful experiment who was ruthless; but not as ruthless as Nick now, though.

"Call me that again, and I'll be sure to drag that cute little ass to the center of the Earth!" he shouted, grabbing her by the chin before going back to his throne. "Don't think I'll spare you this time, Mira. I will not take my chances to keep you alive for another second if you had no purpose to my plan."
