Solar decided to start the testing without 1-0 and tried to stab
her with a blade but it only caused the area to blow apart before
filling back up. This time she used a blade made of shadows she had
forced the triplets to solidify in return for splitting them. she
dug it into Athena's side and she flinched a little, it obviously
hadn't hurt that much. Athena pinned her ears back.
the triplets are in a sleep pile but they are really plotting how
to scare free.
flora whispers "what should we scare her with? another
tornado?"
pyro snickered "No, we should make a dragon and have it spit fire
at her!"
breezy shushed pyro who forgot to stay quiet "i like pyro's idea."
they un-piled each other and practiced making a dragon. flora
sprayed petals everywhere and breezy controlled the wind to have
them take the form of a dragon. then pyro added fire in the inside
so it would breath it out when it opened its mouth
1-0 went back to the test room and thanked Solar for testing Athena
for her. She then looked at the other shadows. "Do not bother other
test subjects, or you will be punished." She scolded. She then
walked up to each cage, pushing a bowl of pet food and a bowl of
water into each cage.
the shadows laughed at 1-0 behind her back then sent the dragon to
scare free ready to call it off if 1-0 came near. solar nodded to
1-0. she wasn't done yet. she formed a blade out of light and
stabbed Athena with it, Athena's form flickered and she yowled in
pain, her voice disappearing everytime she did. she leaped at solar
but hit the light shield, she blacked out and shadow blood (its
pitch black) seeped out of the fresh wound. solar put her back in
her cage still in solid form
" shadow weapons too... the triplets knew my intentions so they
didn't reinforce it with their true power. which can be very....
scary? is that the word?" solar stated
the tripelets made the dragon bigger and sent it after jay instead
of free because free was sleeping and they hadn't figured out how
to give their creations voices yet.
Athena had woken up but she still couldn't move. blood was soaking
her now solid fur and making it sticky.
"............uuuughhh.............." was all she could get out, but
she then coughed up more blood and it tasted horrible. instead of
the normal metallic tasting blood of the flesh it was a mix of salt
and garlic and something else she couldn't identify.
"Yes. That's the word." 1-0 clarified, reading the definition of it
in her built-in dictionary. "Thank you for testing Athena. Would
you like to help test the other shadows?" She offered.
"of course" replied solar. she went to the shadow's cage and
trapped them in a light ball. she dumped them out in a room but
forced out their crystals and motioned for 1-0 to hold them cuz if
she did they would die instantly. then she said "merge. now. you
saw Athena so unless you want that to happen to you do what we
say." the shadows merged whimpering as the memory of seeing
Athena's unconscious and bloody body being dragged across the
floor. "now turn solid." they did.
"Thank you. I will hold the crytals. Now.. Hmm.. We need to see
what there shadow eating does to the physical entity it is attached
to and how it happens, as shadows are merely the lack of light in
an area." 1-0 explained and put the crystals on a silver box,
seperated by styrofoam so the crystals won't hit each other.
"noted" solar said. she had purposely not fed them for awhile so
they would be hungry for testing she propped up a piece of
cardboard so it had a long shadow. the merged triplets ran over to
it and gulped it down. their tail got a little longer and their
form turned a little less transparent like Athena's whose was
completely solid from all the shadows she had eaten when she was in
solid form. solar noted this too. she scanned 1-0's chip again to
see if she had any other information about shadows. something about
the shadow's here history popped up but she ignored it and looked
at 1-0 for more testing stuff
"Hmm.. Good. Has the loss of shadow changed the cardboard? We need
a live creature so it can tell us about it." She suggested.
(Omg I love being the villain XD)
"who should we use? maybe instead of an experiment we should use an
intelligent yet average animal." suggested solar, she didn't really
care but it seemed more productive. "the intelligence would attract
them to it's mind and we could see what happens when they eat its
brain." the shadows were still noming on the cardboard shadow and
solar took it away so they wouldn't get to full. they pouted
hungrily.

Luxa walked out of the medical room, a very disapointed look on her
face. Her feet dragged when she walked and her face was red from
crying. A lone tear slipped down her cheek.
Stone woke up a while later and yawned. "When are we gonna eat..."
He groaned.
Free woke up and sat up unusually quietly. She hung her head with
her ears flat facing the wall her cage was next to with her back
facing every other experiment. Her breathing was slow and shallow,
but not too bad. She still felt hot and could feel blood dripping
from her teeth, and ignored the urge to spit it out.
Free was shaking. She looked up at Luxa with tears in her eyes.
"Why do they do this to us?" She sniffed and folded her wings
closed. "I just wanna go home."
