A girl was staring out at the barred window of her cell. She have long cyan coloured hair that hung loose behind her back and violet coloured eyes. She wore a plain white gown with blue edgings on the hem that reach nearly until her ankles and small ribbons on the sleeves of her dress and on the loose collar with matching blue ballet flats. She looked rather dull and harmless.
Suddenly, she heard the bolts to her cell being withdrawn. She turned to see two armed guards coming into her cell.
"You are coming with us." One of the guards said, approaching towards her.
Suddenly, the girl's hair turned grew longer and became became metal spike blades and nearly stabbed the guard.
"Whoa..." The guard leap away from the girl's killer blades hair. As soon as her hair turned back to normal, the other guard made a flying leap at her and restrained her arms. His comrade then said, "Wow, this girl is dangerous..."
"Don't you panic." The guard said, clipping a metal ring onto her neck. "She is gonna be gone soon. Darkmatter is buying her, and then we won't be seeing her anymore."
"Is that collar suppose to prevent us from getting killed?" His comrade asked.
"Yes. Lou," the guard said coolly."The ring zaps her everytime she tried to hurt us. Watch."
The guard thrust the girl into Lou's arms and approach her. The girl snarled and tried to attack him but the ring blinked and zapped her. The girl whimpered in pain and sank onto the floor.
Lou then said, "So, she's harmless now."
"Yup." His comrade heaved the whimpering girl over his back like a sack of potatoes and went out of the cell. "Hurry up, Lou. Don't stand there like a statue. Help me heave her. She's quite heavy, you know."
********
The boss was impatiently tapping her feet on the floor for the past 10 minutes when the receiver beeped.
"We got her." Lou's voice came out of the receiver.
"Remove the restrains and put her in Training Zone C, and release the experimental demons in Cell A-125698." The boss said into the receiver.
"Miss Erica." One of the scientists who followed the boss to Training Zone C. "Are you sure that's a good idea? Cell A-125698 have the Gargantua. You know that demon is very powerful. If our weapon fails and got killed - "
"Then Darkmatter will have to put up with it." Erica snapped. "But don't worry, V.V. is not that weak."
"V.V.?" The scientist looked confused.
"Our weapon's name, Mr. Johnson." Erica said as they entered Training Zone C.
3 scientists are looking through the hard transparent screen. The girl called V.V. was pushed into the room and the restrains were removed from her.
Suddenly, a large barred steel gate opened and several demons, including Ligions came out and surrounded V.V. She looked pretty expressionless and calm.
"V.V." Erica's voice boomed out from the speakers installed into room."Why don't you show those useless thrash how good are you..."
"How good I am???" V.V. mumbled.
"Yes,dear." Erica said. "You were created to fight."
"I was created to...fight." V.V's hair became spiked blades and she sliced all the demons up into bits. Demons' blood and bits of their body parts splattered everywhere. V.V herself was covered in blood as well, especially her hair.
"Amazing..." Mr. Johnson said, looking awed. "She killed 50 Ligions and a Gargantuan in mere minutes. Simply amazing..."
"Yes, indeed." Erica said coolly. "She's one of my greatest experiment, and she's going to be sold to Darkmatter in 3 days time."
"Why 3 days?" Mr. Johnson asked,looking puzzled.
"Darkmatter is in France right now."Erica said, grabbing an official looking contract from a small drawer. “He wants to come personally to see V.V., to make sure she’s exactly what he wants.” She then turned to one of the scientists and said, “Get her to change her clothes and wash up. And make sure she doesn’t run around. I got some things to take care of.”

“There we go….” Lloyd said, paying the bill through online net. “All clear.”
“Did you try one of these muffins?” Glenn asked, holding out a freshly baked chocolate cinnamon muffins to him. “They’re still fresh.”
“No thanks.” Lloyd said, surfing through Google news. “But you could just run down to Starbucks and get me a regular latte with whipped cream with some chocolate chips toppings.”
Glenn didn’t seemed to heard him, he leaned over his shoulder and peered closely at the screen. “Whoa, more mysterious supernatural cases, huh? I’m surprised they even got it on Google.”
Lloyd scroll down the search results and found there were 591 articles about it. “This is getting stranger and stranger. Things were that bad last time and it’s happening all around the world. Not just in Manhattan midtown.”
“Let me try.” Glenn offered, whipping out his mobile phone which has Internet access and connection. He typed supernatural in the search box and as expected, the 591 search results popped out. Trying something different, he typed experimental cases and a few articles popped out. “Nothing much.”
The phone suddenly ringed. As usual, Lloyd leap up from his seat and said with his usual buisness gusto. “Hello. Supernatural Demons Slayers (S.D.S.) service here. How can I help you?”
“Is there a Glenn Skyler there?” A voice asked.
“Oh, there is. Hold on a sec. ” Lloyd then handed Glenn the phone. “For you.”
Glenn took it and said, “Hello?”
“Glenn, it’s me, Francis.” Francis Hills is one of Glenn’s best buddy. “Have you been checking the bulletin board in U lately?”
“Not really. Why?” Glenn asked.
“Oh, there’s a tour to Stellar Inc.” Francis answered. “You know, the famous company for exporting stuff to majority of the world. Mr. H thought it would be a great opportunity for those of us who are planning to open their own buisness in the future. Do you want to come?”
“Um….It’s sponsored, right?”
“Well, you just have to pay 35 dollars and that’s it. ”
“Save me a space. I’m going in.” Glenn said.
“Gotcha, dude.”
Click.
“A tour, huh?” Lloyd said. “That sounds like fun. Especially to the Stellar Inc. They have many chains all around the world.”
“Well, you can’t come.” Glenn answered. “Since it’s only for Columbia freshmen.”
Lloyd then tossed Glenn some gold bullets with red tips. “Take this in case anything happens, they’re upgraded bullets which packs more punch than your usual average bullets.”
“Alright.” Glenn answered, about to turn away when he asked meekly. “You wouldn’t have 35 dollars to spare, would you?”
Lloyd rolled his eyes and said sweetly, “No. In fact, you’re paying it yourself.”
"Dang." Glenn said, snapping his fingers in frustration.
I like Glenn and Lloyd parts. I think they are funny. V.V. is pretty impressive.
