Shadoul's mind broke the surface, her violent dreams waking her from slumber again.  I was a new day, and she was in high hopes that all of it was just another nightmare.  The sad truth was that she found herself on that same cold metal table, her arms and legs strapped down.  Once again she was stuck in her "chibi" form and was still trapped in that vile lab, being used as some experiment by the human scientists. It was going to be another horrid day again if something didn't happen.<br/><br/>____________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/><br/>Another day, another battle.  They screams of pain, the smell of blood...THIS is what Zangetsu LIVED for!  today she'd face a new opponent, one that was promising to be a joyous challenge.  She ate her breakfast in peace and prepared her mind for the battle to come.  She might be a brutal fighter, but she was no fool.  Now was a time to prepare, to plan ahead, and to expect the unexpected.  Today....today she just might be able to buy her freedom....she hoped.
