Erizen<br/><br/>The smell hit her first. The abbhorial stench of rotting flesh and decaying bodies had assaulted the woman's olfactory department with such reckless fervor, she resorted to breathing out her mouth, and even then she could almost taste the death as it played across her tongue. "By the Life Mother..." She mused, covering her mouth. "The fuck is that stench?" Standing and searching for more creatures like the one outside, she pressed on farther inside, despite the writing feeling in her gut. That was not the smell of machinery. That was the smell of genocide.<br/><br/>Rounding a corner, she came face to face with a pile of rotting and festering corpses piled well above her head. Stumbling over her feet, she collapsed to her rear, staring at the pile in abstract horror. "What..." She started in a low voice. "What are they doing down here?" It wouldn't be long until her question would be answered as she opened another door to hear a wail of pain, a creature injecting a body with something - wait... that person was...<br/><br/>"Alive?" She asked as the person's head shook violently back and forth as the creature injected it. She couldn't see the face, she didn't<em>WANT</em>to see the face. These people... they were from different realms, different worlds. Not all were human, and more then a few were downright scary, but regardless, they didn't deserve this fate. A table to her left held a few vials for storage, so they could be used later. Erizen decided to cut her losses, and retreat, but not after retrieving a sample from the table.<br/><br/>Leaving the same way she came in, she checked the camera and guard, retreated to the airvent and crawled back through, took her dress, redressed quickly, and retreated back to the surface, leaving that hellhole, and the stench that went with, behind her.<br/><br/>Emma<br/><br/><strong>DOA Island, Arena 21. 8:00 AM</strong><br/><br/>Emma had watched with bated breath the fight between the Desire Demon and Tyger, hoping all had gone well. She just hoped that her first fight wouldn't be with something with such frightening powers as this demon. A small tap on the shoulder caused her to turn, facing Erizen who had, somehow, grown paler. "Erizen? The hell were you?"<br/><br/>"You... don't want to know." Grabbing Emma's arm, she pulled her away from the group. "Emma, there's some freaky shit happening below us... freaky fucking shit..."<br/><br/>"You're delirious."<br/><br/>"You're delusional if you think this is all benevolent. There are people below us being experimented on, and I think we're next. What do you think will happen if we loose here!?"<br/><br/>"We get sent back. What do you think?"<br/><br/>"Oh, if only." She pulled the vial from her pocket, showing it to Emma, the thick yellow liquid inside swirling around. "What do you think this is?" Emma took it and examined it, truly having no clue what it was.<br/><br/>"No idea, but I know someone who could tell us... if I could get in contact with him..."
