"Yes, anyway." She continued bouncing cheerily as ever to the other side of the room.
Xanthus prodded his friend in the side.
"This is a concussive energy dispersion gun. I call them C.A.D. guns" She chuckled, a few of her guards laughed along with her. "They're powered with a bio-battery. Infinite ammunition so you don't have to worry about running out. Good close range weapons." She lifted one of the shelf. It looked more streamlined than a regular gun, except for the small bulk around the barrel. "Quite powerful actually."
"OH! Of course there are long range weapons too." She reached up to one of the racks pulling off a larger riffle. She held it out like it weighed nothing, showing it off to the two of them. "Gauss cannon." She smiled as if it was self explanatory. The barrel was thick, with the scope perched on top of it. There were four protrusions around the barrel that spread out almost to form what looked like an X.
"They both look fine." Val said crossing her arms. She took a cursory glance around the room. "I think they'll work, don't you?" She asked turning to King.
"Then there are your standard static concentration and discharge weapons, or explosive tipped or armor piercing bullets, plasma weaponry, electric spears, bananas... the list goes on I assure you." She beamed.

"I think you've dont more than your fair amount for us already....thank you mother.....can I have a shipment of whatever Val here asks for delivered to his address"he says handing he a card, it had nothing on it but a distric, and building number. This type of catigorization could be found in only one area of the Underworld and that was the storage and industry area, so this had to be the number of a warehouse or factory.
"But get a few of those arm bands ready I might be looking in investing into them later..."He says smiling.

She fiddled with the card between her fingers.
"The suits you showed us, the C.A.D. guns and the gauss cannons; we need 20 of each." She said.
"No problem." She nodded, motioning for one of the women to take down the orders. "We can deliver then as soon as possible."
"And I suppose the bill will be delivered with it." Val sighed.
"That's right." She smiled with wink. "Let Leena show you the way out."
Leena stepped forward, the same woman who had let them in.
"Alright Xan, pick up Craig and lets go. And be sure to take the band of him..." She said, watching as he pried it off and tossed it back with the others.
Mother waved as they were ushered from the room back into the maze of halls and tunnels. It took them longer to get out than it did to get in, nothing looked even remotely familiar from their entrance. After a while they reached the room they had been ordered to take their weapons off in. They must have come in from a different door because the room was oriented differently. They all grabbed their weapons (Craig having at this point woken up and made a large fuss about being forced unconscious and then being so indignantly carried). Some took longer than others but eventually they were lead outside again into that same ally watched over by the imposing bronze statue.
"Man, I'm beat." Xanthus yawned, stretching his arms behind his head.
"She does have a lot of energy." Val admitted indifferently.

"Age is a state of mind....literaly and medaphoricly...."King says rolling his shoulder.
'in one sense as long as you keep up with the times and do things that a younger generations would do most of the time your body and mind are kept off just how old you are........in another sense, thinking, and acting young keeps the parts of your brain active that usualy slows during old age and thus keeps you mind and body in a younger state....."King says pulling a pair of big, old style, around the ear headphones. Placing them on his head he look back at them.
"You all may need to get yourself a pair of these...."He says pulling a marble out of his pocket.
Tossing it between them it expands extreamely quick, but not fast enough to block out to ear-shattering screach of the music coming from Kings headphones. Then they where hurled into a state of limbo that looked like they where being hurled through a staticy TV screen. Then the surounding noise hit them, it was like a Frait train impacting their inner ear, so violent and blunt that it cause their ears to pop, painfully.
Then it was over, they stopped suddenly and the screached lyrics of Kings music could be heard heard once more.
Their surrounds looked like the dark dank insides of a meat locker, until King flips on the lights. The air was chilled, because of refrigeration units in the walls, but it all looked like a make shift laberatory, the stood on a small platform where one of the black marbles of partialy embeded in the floor. A box about the size of a normal bathroom sat in the corner, made of a durable faux wood compound it was a common cheap construction material.
The rest was like something out of a sci-fi movie, tubes, vial, screens, computers, a desk, a chair, and a row of 'bottles' that seemed to have a black mass growing in them.
"Welcome to my humble abode..."King says taking off the headphones but leaving the music.

"What?" She winced rubbing the sides of her head. Her cronies were doubled over holding their ears.
She looked around intrigued. Val paced a little around the platform, looking at the contents of the bottles. "Quite a place you've got here." She said.
"Whoa... what is all this?" Xanthus asked wide eyed.
She turned watching her reflection on one of the screens. Her ears were ringing but the sensation was slowly starting to fade. "I could do with more of a warning next time."

"This Xanthus is all me....my research into what exactaly we and the inago really are...I mean we have some understanding but we still don't know 'what' they or we are...."
"Except..."King says stopping causing them all to freeze."For that over there....."He says pointing towards the bottlbes of a suspended black substance.
"That nobody touches but me....."He states calmly before pressing a button on the wall opening a shutter door and revealing the rest of the massive storage building. It was filled with crates, and animal containers, and a multitude of various boxes some with military labels, others with police, medical, a industry labels

She stared up at the newly revealed crates and containers. "So what new have you found?" She said, unmistakably doubtful. There was something severe reflected in the soft blue of her eyes.
"And whats in the bottles...?" Xan asked now leaning toward them as if they had induced hypnosis.
Val sighed, annoyed. "Xanthus please."
"Sorry." He laughed.

"Something of either incredible redundancy or remarkable briliance...."He says typing in something on a key board. The screen lights up with the Magen Corparation symbol before fading to a plane see through screen as number, words and pictures scroll by. King stops it on a image file and opens it up.
"Tell me what you see here...."He says pointing to the picture. The picture was a 3-D rendering of a multi-cellulary protist reproducing with no visable food source.

"I see a protist. Well, protists." She said rubbing the back of her neck.
"It's kinda ugly looking... ew, look at it." Craig said. Both of them popped up behind her to look over her shoulder.

"Good....now what are these....I've marked them with coloered dye to make them more visible...."King says switching to a image, a close-up of the protist. There was a dark red blotch, and a light green blotch inside of the protist.
"The light green in there is a chloroplast, and the dark red one over here is a mitochondria.....can anyone tell me why both of these would be in the same cell..."In all honestly the question was redundant. Both of these where never found in the same cell, due to a theory that both are actualy bacteria that over billions of years have just taken refuge in most organisms cells as homes.

"Uhhhhh..." He uttered dropping his jaw.
"No, but I'm sure you'll explain." She said arching an eyebrow as she placed a hand on her hip.

"And there you'd be right again........the're here because there here.....they...are irony....one produces food from a energy source, and one produces energy from food......and since this protist spore has both it can survive in any enviroment.......and with a hard out capsule it can go anywhere...."He says changing to image to a simular protist inside a oval structure.
The image zooms out till they all saw it for what it was, a Inago spore.
"Which brings me to my discovery......protists are the root from which every branch of life sprung...why make one form of life so diverse, we've probably already seen the many 'breeds' of Inago that crawl out of the darkness........I beleive they where never built to be weapons.......they only became aggressive a few months after the Magen corparations building was cleaned out by a fire....something either triggered a natural defence funtion or realy pissed them off.....and living in one of the most tightly packed areas of New Eden, and the Underworld together it's not hard to find what exactaly, humans and animals have been having territorial conflictions for centuries an it...........sorry I seem to be rambling again."He says cutting the inpossibly mind numbing lecture short.
"In short the Inago are much more than simple minded creatures, as are the Majin themselves. Me and Val share none of the same powers, oragins and maybe parents, but other than we're from the Magen corparations we have nothing in common on the outside, untill you break us down geneticly....I'v found a specific gene in the Majin body that brings up some strange reactions in the Inago....watch...." He walks over to a table and brings before them a small container conainting a small still vurtualy harmless Inago. Pulling a pocket knife from his back pocket he cuts the palm of his hand and lets some blood drop down in the container. The inago laps the blood up then freezesm its eyes glazing over with a crystal white film before it flops to the bottom of the container dead.
"Keep watching."he says setting down the container and stepping back.
From the container they here a growling then a loud pop as the Inagos body splits open and a long thin stems appeares from its body. The stem grows and produces leaves, jagged, large, and green. It grows to a small sapling and begins to produce small berry-like fruit in small bunches.
"There....."He says picking one of the fruit. He then places it under a machine that cuts a thin slice out of it and places it under a microscope that was shown in the screen. The image they all looked at was that of a normal plant cell, no abnormalities, and no traces of the mitochondria.
"And there you have it...the biggest mystery behind both the Inago and us....."He says hands on hips.

"That... certainly is a mystery." She said surprised.
"I have no idea what just happened." said Craig.
"Join the club." Xanthus muttered.
She started reaching toward the tree. "Can I... touch it?"

"Be my guest.....I'm glad it turned into a normal tree this time though...I tried another breed of Inago and it went all furry and teeth......not a pretty sight..."
"So...on ot more pressing business.."He says walking around his lab for a bit before stopping at the bottles and running a finger along the glass."I take it you aggreed to my offer....in helping me get into the outside world..."
