Chapter 3: Escape

"No," he repeated getting up and awkwardly still not used to move in now possessed body followed her. However she didn’t stopped, again screamed and trying to squeeze as fast as she could. When she was on the other side with a shaking hands tried to put panel back in place.
'No, no, no,' stopped in the middle of the way and hit the floor with his hands clenched into fists. Somewhere from the distance reached him footsteps that were approaching fast. Looking at the wall noted that the transition was quite covered so resigned sat on the floor.
"Hungry," he muttered as the door to his old room opened and a tall man looked inside.
When she finally put it in place casually hid under some toys and headed for the bed. Moments after she sat on it into the room came short man and looked around as if looking for something. Then walked over to her.
"You was screaming?" he asked.
Not answered so asked again.
"You screamed?" And when he still did not answer struck her with electric stick, which he held in one of his hands. Biting her lips made no sound. Not giving up again struck her but she still said nothing.
"Hmpf," he said and even to be sure razed her two more times but it didn't give expected effect. Bored again looked around the room.
"Because of you, I had to move," for goodbye again struck her and then closed the door behind.
At that time, his companion looked on as Arik, which almost instinctively slowly walked down to a bowl of food and began to eat without paying attention to what happening around.
"You," began after a moment a tall man and approaching struck him on what Raven waved his paw reflexively hitting the man in the face, so he fell down.
"You brat," rose from the ground and grabbed the electric stick when another door opened and appeared in them his companion.
"What are you doing?" growled at him.
"He hit me and knocked over so I..."
"Hahaha. He knocked you," laughed the short man. "Come on, before he will not again 'knock' you out. Cause you know if he did it again, you would lose respect. Such a man struck by a child."
"Pfff a child," spat taller man looking towards eating Arik. "Bastard is maybe two feet tall now."
"But also his case interested boss so it can't be too maul as long as the Brain is interested in it," said the shorter man and they both left the room closing the door. He ate for a moment until he stopped and looked toward the wall, in which was the passage. Although now it separated them he heard as one of the men treated her and thought that she suffer because of him made him feel bad.
"For sure she's mad at me now," he sat down and putting aside bowl began to think what he should do. Took a long time but nothing specific came to his mind so started to walk in circles also occasionally glancing at the wall that separates him from the next room.
The next day again he got a big bowl of food, actually even two of them. For a long moment he sat staring at them until taking one came to the place where it was hidden passage and placing it on the ground gently knocked into the panel.
In the morning as soon as she got food from the passage came to her sound like someone hit the panel covering the hole. She looked a little surprised when after a moment again heard the same sound. After some time again rang the sound of someone tapping on the wall, which she again ignored. Ten or fifteen minutes later came a short man to take her.
"Mommy," she cried softly while lying in bed after returning from today's tests. They were much heavier and more painful than usual and she felt extremely exhausted. It was still too early for the evening portion of the food but she already felt a rumbling in her stomach.
'She came back,' he thought standing against the wall and looking on lying still in front of passage a bowl full of food. Trying to gently tapped the panel, however the force of impact was so great that it partially fell out of the frame, in which was loosely placed. Slightly scared he backed up immediately followed by tumbling over piece of the wall. Covering behind it he lean over a bit and watch what will happen next.
"Ohh," she heard the scrape of metal and a mountain of toys slightly moved with few of the top falling on the ground. Then she heard a noise somewhere behind the wall as if something hit the wall. Slowly and taking care approached the crossing and she started noticing a toy-covered shovel panel is partially skewed, so that part of it was pushed slightly to the inside of the room. Grabbing the edge to remove it completely felt some smell coming from the other room. Moving more panel looked carefully to the other side to see a bowl full of food standing almost in front of the pass. For a moment stood savoring the scent until her stomach growled.
"Why is it lying here?" thoughtfully keep on looking and noticed partially seen head, pair of wings and tail end.
"Did he leave it for me?" looked back at the bowl feeling getting increasingly hungry. She looked back at him without noticing him making any move. As if only unskilled was trying to hide watched what will happen.
Both for long time stayed motionless, Arik watching from behind the remains of wall dividing the two rooms and Ultear looking at food right in front of her and then at him. Hunger slowly turned out to be stronger than the fear so glancing at him every now and then slowly reached over and pulled over to her side bowl.
'Does that mean she is no longer mad at me?' he thought when he saw as she took food and then her eating it.
The food was not very good but enough to satisfy her hunger. Once she have finished remembered that acted quite stupidly. At any time could show up cook assistant with evening portion of the food, so she quickly moved throu by opening a bowl with food leftovers and covered passage. Once she hid it, as always heard very loud noises coming from behind the wall.
"Mhmm," halting pulled over a bowl inhaled spreading scent. Strange but interesting at the same time it was.
'So that how she smell,' he thought while standing over the bowl until decided to clean it remaining content.

"So you met him in a rather peculiar place," said dragon, when Ultear ended another part of the story. "You not trusted him at the beginning?"
"It was hard to trust someone few times bigger than yourself in addition looking like a monster," said time mage.
"But in the end you managed to form bond with him? Does it take long?" she seemed to be more interesting in Ultear past than training.
"I told some of the story so should I continue with next part or we start training?" asked slightly impatient purple-haired woman.
"You're impatient. Teaching the magic you can not speed up. Everything will take its place. But I thik you didn't predicted that such power could lay dormant in him," Rigantona looked for a convenient place to lie down.
"Within who?" female mage tried to see dragoness moving in the darkness of the cave.

"In Arik. Am I wrong by saying that you didn't predict that he have such enourmous power few days ago?" she found the right place.

"You mean the form, which he assumed? It shape looked like those of a dragon," said Ultear.

"You're almost right. But you will understand this when you finish training," said the dragon somewhat enigmatically.

"Why almost?"

"You'll understood when we're done," emphasized each word. "Damn it " she added seeing a small luminous ball approaching them. "I'll leave you for a moment. Don't try to wander to far away form here because you can get lost in place where even I wouldn't find you."

Time mage didn't answer anything just looking at her teacher walking away following the luminous ball.

"What is it Grandeeney?"

"Nothing yet," said the sky dragoness "He still didn't cause much damage. However Koriana and Korimi beginning to worry about him. He's biggest breeding success so their don't want him to become something barely better than a feral dragon."

"So why do you visited me?" Rigantona impatiently waved her tail.

"I just want to warn you that you can soon expect Koromi visit in person asking for borrowing for some time that mage you agreed to train," replied the other dragon.

"Hmm didn't suspected that their bond could be so deep. Guess I'll have get something more out of her," said with a slightly demonic voice.

Grandeeney then said goodbye to Rigantona, which went inside the cave and finding Ultear started first lessons. Next day, in the morning she led her to the surface commanding her to eat well and return as soon as possible, this time with food supply for over a week. When the day drew to an end Ultear was back in front of the entrance.

"Good. So let's go," said the dragon again leading her inside.

"I think that in a few consecutive days you should began to understand the basics. But for possibility of using even basic attack don't hold much hope in long time," spoke when you were almost there. "Tell next part of the history of your relationship with that slayer."

"It's necessary?" with cool voice asked time mage.

"Actually no, but if you won't be trying to keep my good mood learning magic can drag considerable," dragoness said quite normal.

Ultear mumbled something under her breath but so quietly that even Rigantona failed to understand this. Master insisted that she should hastened learning magic so if it meant that she had to continue telling the story to her 'teacher', she accepted it as another thing she done to achieve her goal.

"Good. I'll tell another part of the story," said purple-haired mage.

The next days passed fairly quietly aside Arik's daily trials to give Ultear part of his food. Always preceded by a light tap on this time on the wall. The first few times he hit wall too hard attracting attention of guarding them people, however, when they saw him hanging around his room and lying next to one of the walls bowl of food only once or twice smited him.

Later, he learned despite occurring sometimes random activation of his take over magic parially or fully his body to not use too much force, so that he was no longer neither attracting guards attention or break through the wall accidentally.

Day in and day he tapped the wall seperating them and it almost started to become a daily ritual for her in this terrible place. A makeshift of normality, to which she started slowly getting more and more used to it because when she was taking off the panel behind it was a bowl of food and he was always hidden behind a piece of the wall watching her from distance as she took the bowl and then gave back empty through the hole.

'Does he eat so little that always giving me some?' she started to think after a few days about the reason of his behavior. Even thought she he was afraid of her but couldn't understand the reason behind it. She could faster feel imtimidated by seeing his huge shape, which from time to time seemed to change in a random manner. So one day she saw that part of his face had a normal appearance and for the first time in a long time looked without feeling primal paralizing fear in his eyes.

"He even doesn't look so scary now," she said several times, looking at him while eating. When she covered the passage for a long time was thinking about his eyes, which seemed to betray a sense of loneliness the same that was eating her from inside. The next day, she decided to take a chance and instead drag the bowl on her side pushed herself to the other side and ate in silence. All the time however, she had the feeling of being observed but when she looked at him she saw only tip of the tail.

'Strange. He seems more afraid than I am,' she thought finishing eating.

For a long time he was sitting i one position without changing it still trying to understand why today she passed throu before came tall man, taking him for the tests. On the next day she went on his side and returned after finishing. And done it each day, however he noticed that every day she was moving a little bit towards the remains of the wall, behind which he was always hidden. Because of that he began to leave the bowl in a place where she left it on previous day after eating until came the day when it was almost on the other side of the piece of the wall.

"Will she move closer again?" he thought looking in the direction of the transition waiting when you get throu it. When she finally appeared he hid as on previous days so that even he didn't seen her but still could smell scent she was surrounded with. He waited until he hears her footsteps retreating again and leaned noting that bowl stood in the same place. He scratched his head wondering what happened.

"Maybe she afraid to approach more," said concluding that this is the answer. The next day happened the same thing and so during two more days. But he was always comming to the same conclusion.

For several days she felt that something was off. Pondering over that in the free moments from tests in the end she came to several conclusions. Firstly, she didn't feel such fear as previously before being in his room. Secondly, for once she wanted to eat with him but didn't know how to do it. Thirdly, she recently feel need to talk to someone even if with him. Despite all this, she had no idea how to do all this.

The next day as usual, went and stood near him. He heard as she moved bowl and then followed it silence. So he waited but nothing happened. And then he heard that she moved again and to his surprise she appeared behind a wall which he used to hide. He looked at her and slowly began to move toward the opposite wall.

"Stay," suddenly she grabbed his hand, well basically touched because he it overgrown today. Hearing her voice, calm and without a hint of fear stopped. Without breaking the contact she started to walk towards the bowl and he silently followed her. He sat down next to her and when she stopped to touch his hand, started eating.

Looking up at her, still not feeling smell accompanying people who feel fear he slowly began to calm down. He didn't notice when his body began to change gradually getting rid of each deformation or inhumane features until nothing left beside a few years old boy with short blue hair and eyes, only slightly higher than sitting next to him purple-haired girl.

When finished eating she looked to the side and to her surprise saw how he looked much alike her, meaning like human so she slightly flushed when their eyes met for a moment. Quickly stood up and said something with barely audible voice walked away briskly toward the hole in wall.

'He didn't look so bad at the end,' she thought being on the other side when one last time looked at him before covering hole.

The next day when she went throu saw how he was looking as usual from behind a piece of the wall, but still looked normal. She paused for a moment near the bowl before she went to his hiding place and grabbed like yesterday his hand. After a moment he suddenly freed his hand form her grasp and walked tfew steps grabbing from floor another bowl, with which he returned and this time he gently grabbed her hand. In silence she just lead him a bit and sitting down in front of her started to eat. After a moment of looking her he also began to eat the remaining leftovers from his bowl.

"Thank you," she heard quietly whispered when they had finished eating so she looked in his direction. Feeling her look he just sat motionless looking in an empty bowl before him. Shooking her head slightly assumed that she just misheard it and headed in the direction of the passage.

"Eating together," he muttered after she covered the hole staring at the two bowls in front of him. He remembered the times he spent with his father when he was fed by him while he was too young to eat without help. His memories involuntarily went to his mother.

"My mother..." mused as he felt the familiar pain slopping around the body. Bone and soft tissue started to move slowly deforming his body. From his back slowly started to grown stunted wings and arms with legs begun swell. Skin started to harden here and there producing hard as stone scales.

"No," issued an animal roar barely resembling human speech. Few minutes later in room appeared three men, looking straight into the eyes of the beast, in the gaze was only lingering remnants of humanity.

"Sit," ordered the tallest of the three without delay hitting with the end of a sharp thorn Arik side. Giving a loud roar waved his monstrous hand throwing man with great force toward the nearby wall.

"I guess we'll have to call mo..." was interrupted when he was grabbed by a couple of arms and thrown with great force in the direction of third men.

"You son of a bitch," cursed the tall man, who had to get up and grabbing lying spike drove it straight into the side of the beast in front of him, which gave another roar.

Covering her shift she sat down and leaned against the panel. She felt a strange warmth bottling up all over her body. For a long time she didn't feel so well and wondered how something as simple as a eating together with another person could cause it.

"In a way he's sweet," she giggled and then heard a roar behind the wall. Instinctively recoiled from wall and when turned she listened. She heard footsteps on the corridor, opening the door and then another roar and sound like something hit one of the walls.

'Something's going on,' she thought, slowly walking to the panel and began to bend it slightly. At this moment she heard another noise as if something fell over. When she looked through the partially uncovered hole saw huge beast and lying next to it two men.

When a metal rod stuck to the side he heard the sound of a moving metal panel.

'Free Yourself!'

'Kill humans!'

'FREEDOM!'

'KILL WEAK HUMANS!!'

Few keep repeated words echoed in his troubled mind. Collecting the remains of willpower was still fighting back from giving up and follow those urges. The rod in the side hurt like hell but he had the feeling that she could watch him. He had, he had to stop, even if he had to suffer...

"Huh?" shorter man looked up, seeing as Arik with spike in his side that managed to pierce thou whole body froze supporting his body with arms placed on the floor and his head bowed.

"Something 's up again?" third of the men asked the other two.

"He just stopped to fight. Strange," the tall man scratched his head and began to slowly recede towards his companions.

"Well literally spike pierced through his side, so any human could be able to still go wild," joked the middle one.

"Human," spit short one. "You call THAT a human? No matter anyway since it calmed down so let call someone to patch this wound. If Brain will see it he'll be furious."

"As you wish," said the tallest and the three of them left the room closing the door behind them.

When the men left the room she fully removed panel and looked a bit more confident. In middle of room saw half-bent Arik with his arms still touching the floor and with pierced side by sharp stick, form which oe end started slowly drip blood. Slightly surprised Ultear saw as he reached out with a hand to one end of rod and caught him. After a moment moved the bar and broke off it end, when she felt cold air flodding into her room form the hole between rooms. Looking at him, she noticed how she could see his each breath. In spite of all that passed slowly and started to approach him going like hypnotized by this view.

He heard first as she passed throu and now was slowly approaching him but couldn't bring himself to look at her so only slowly took out the other end of the rod and placed next to the broken earlier end. After that he sat down and hanging his head began to cry but floor was hitting already tiny pieces of ice. The only thing he could say was repeated like a mantra one word.

Although it was much colder than before in the room she didn't feel too much discomfort. Somehow it reminded her of something familiar but couldn't remember exactly what it was. Slowly, she started going to hear him keep reapeating one word. Approaching enough froze for a moment when she heard the word clearly.

"Mother," she repeated herself heard word and suddenly the memories of her own mother returned. She curled up on the floor when she felt his huge hands gently hugging her. Looking up for a moment their gaze meet for a moment. In his blue eyes was no longer even the remains of the beast only sadness and regret.

"Mommy?" quietly she whispered on what he suddenly withdrew his hands and began to walk away as if scared of something. He made few steps and froze monitionless not even glancing in her direction. From distance she noticed how his body was shaken by spasms and underwent another transformation causing it to slowly grown.

"Leave me alone," she hardly understand these few words among the different roars and other animal sounds which he was letting out. "Please."

She didn't reply just went back to her room.

"Mommy," she mused lying for the first time in many days remembering about escape plan to return home. The next day she didn't visited him busy planning how to return home.

'I must frightened her yesterday,' he lay staring aimlessly at the bowl of food and from time to time toward the hole, which was still covered. Then he looked at his deformed monstualne arms and bandaged the wound on the side and just sighed heavily.

Next day the passage opened and after a long pause she come to the other side. Just when she started to take off the panel he already sat hidden behind a piece of the wall. Slowly she walked until she stopped in front of a pair of bowls and looking at them briefly moved toward him. Not say anything just fetched his hand on what he responded by gently grasping her.

'He again looking normal,' she noted how he again looks like a little boy without any deformation or other inhuman traits. Leading him behind herslef both sat down and quietly ate the food.

"What's your name?" she asked after finishing a meal. Silent for a moment and then he replied. "Arik." Long moment he said nothing until he finally added. "And you?"

"Ultear," she replied and stood up. Going toward the passange she stopped for a moment and looking back said. "See you tomorrow," to which he smiled slightly.

'How can I take advantage of his help to get out of here?' She thought already lying on the bed. When he changed seemed to become stronger, so he can deal with guarding them people so she can slip away. Or maybe just caused quite a chaos and confusion that she managed to slip away? The next few days passed her on careful watching and remembering all the details of when she was lead to and from tests. In the course of the common meals slowly began talk with Arik. However once or twice when she accidentally wandered to mother subject he almost without warning was interrupting eating and asking her to come back to her room.

"Why he's avoiding his mother topic?" she pondered lying on the bed and still feeling the pain in the body after today's test. Over the next three days each time trying to pick up mother topic, he always was doing the same. However, after the last time she heard a roar from behind the wall , which she had not heard from for several days and footsteps in the hallway. Deciding to make a gambit finished forming plan to leave this place where she was imprisoned.

"Hello," she greeted him the next afternoon. Today none of them had a test so she was able to visit him before. He seemed not to be ready, because she noticed when passing throu how quickly he was putting bowls in usual place.

"Hello," he said and sat down starting to eat.

"I wonder," started waiting when he will pick subject.

"Yes?" he responded.

"Why don't you ever not mention me about your mother," with the word mother he felt the familiar thrill.

"No. I don't want," he mumbled trying to stay calm.

"Maybe it's because I didn't mention about my mother never," another shiver ran down his spine but still managed to maintain control.

"I'd rather talk about something else. Maybe about father," he tried to change the subject.

"You told nothing of his recently and I don't know mine. But I remember my mom," she noticed how his arm began to tremble. 'Yes. It's starting.'

"No, please," he said raising his voice slightly clutching his hand, which began to slowly change.

"She was so nice and cared about me. Probably now worried that it still hasn't returned. Maybe your mom can feel the same thing," she said again briefly glancing in his direction. This time their eyes met for a moment. His eyes betrayed that he fought against himself. Even she could swear that for a moment saw something wild, monstrous trying to set free.

"Not now," he muttered and he rose briskly walking away toward his bed.

'Just a little more,' she thought and she got up rushing in the direction of the transition. Reaching throu it grabbed the panel and began to fix it. It was the most difficult part of the plan. Over the last few days she gained confidence that he wouldn't be able to hurt her, but. But sometimes he was changing into a beast that terrified her. And now needed this beast to escape just wasn't sure that it wouldn't attack her. Slowly walked over to him seeing as it seemed the beast was slowly winning internal struggle, when Arik's body began to change and grow developing wings and tail. Hands and feet turned into reptileshaped limbs ended with claws. However he still seemed to struggle with the change which was happening to him.

'Kill all human, free ourselves from this prison!' like and echo reverberated voice in his head, which moreover was externally changing shape and started to cover it scales. Then they began to cover the rest of his body until he lost any remains of a human appearance and had the form of a small dragon.

"I'm sorry but I just miss my mother," that tipped the chalice and turned toward her reaching with his paw when his body began to grow. She felt that now it turns out if she made a fatal error. She glanced in his direction of his mouth and saw just single tear that ran down and dripped on her forehead.

'Kill the humans...'

'No, she isn't a threat. We can't hurt her...'
'Only your mate isn't a threat. Is she one?'
'No, Yes, Maybe, I don't know...'
'Next time I will be free be sure who is your mate. Only her will be safe from my rage...'
His tear was very cold but she didn't move when he slowly passed her and began striding closer to one of the walls.

"What's going on?" one of the men stopped in the hallway when the building trembled slightly. Almost as if in response to it a piece of one of the walls in the hallway a bit ahead of them literally fell apart. After a while from hole appeared head followed by the rest of his body. Not paying any attention to them without a problem tore a hole in another wall and began to squeeze through it. For a moment they looked at each other and when the tail disappeared in the second of the holes they recovered from the shock.

"Call the rest. We can't let him get out," said taller man and followed after tearing another wall Arik. Within a few minutes most of the current staff at the institute started to move in the direction of one of their patients currently trying to escape.

"I live," for a long while Ultear waqs sitting before realizing that after heading in unknown direction Arik left a big hole in the wall leading straight into the corridor. Once again walked to passage and make sure that overlaps the plate is holding well. Then keeping precautions first looked into the hallway and then left. While maintaining focus paced the corridors until she reached the door.

'Soon I coming home, Mom,' she thought away from the institute, where Arik was arrested when he tear a small hole in one of the outer walls. Trying to enlarge it was struck by the many electric sticks at the same time. Despite covering his body scales their managed to get through the protective layer and caused him to curl up in pain.

Somewhere in the distance navyblue-haired man looked towards nearby the building and didn't escaped his attention a small hole, which was formed in a wall of the building or a moment later a small girl escaping from the building. Hearing the distant sounds after a moment began to follow Ultear.

'Interesting. Very interesting,' mused when we were away from the institute. After she managed to get to the mainland for a moment came a little closer to making sure that the smell, which he felt surrounding her was the one he suspected. Losing her sight slowly went in another direction.

"So what happened?" Bruce asked when he met with blue-eyed man.

"I saw your grandson for a moment. Though it actualy may be a little worrisome," calmly replied Lionel.

"Will you tell what cause you to be so upset?" the two men sat at a nearby cafe.

Next chapter: Power overwhelming

A/N: Orginaly Hiro didn't much drawn about how Ultear escaped but that gave me some food for thought. Like how such little girl could just escape from such not so bad guarded place. But on the other hand it left me a lil more space to fit way she done it to write it. Maybe a little not so amazing as just casual using other trapped child (well it's after all Ultear we all know - woman who killed, kinda mind controled other mage with using her magic and done all others bad deeds to reach her goal)
A/N v2: Some of formating seems off but it due I translated/added some parts using different text editors. And I totaly not feeling like I wanna wrestle to smooth those almost non existent disturbs in formating. Let say it's flavor of that story ^^
A/N v2.1: Whoever had some connection to Starcraft universe stuff probably could think seeing next chap title: it sound kinda familiar - and s/he is right as it's from there (just like next week chap I add - title of some all female band song ^^)
