Mitchell's Prequel: "The Blood of a Stray always finds a way"

Xzelaxer woke up in a very dark room. He wasn't quite conscious yet. All he could think of was escape. He tried to move but his wrist, chest and ankle was locked. How smart! Even though they didn't lock my hand...I still can't do anything. My weapon were also gone Xzelaxer murmured to himself as he tried to look around. All he could see were pitch black, a smoke, a tool and Mitchell. Hey, Mitchell!! Wake up! We're gotta escape Shouted Xzelaxer toward Mitchell hoping he would wake up and found some way to escape before it's too late.

"Ah, so you finally awake?" a calm sly and well spoken voice said from the darkness. The little orange circle moved as smoke billowed from it. "Its nice actually hear someone else's voice down here other than my own. They say I'm crazy because I talk to myself, they say I'm lonely, hell they say allot of things. But whether or not I am what they say because of my personality & the way I live or I am the way I am because they say I am is still a mystery. I would leave your friend alone for now as he won't be waking up any time soon. From those trees in the forbidden forest he received some nasty mental trauma. I have hooked him up to an IV for the moment."

As the person in the darkness stood up a touch more of his appearance was shown as light shone down onto his glasses. All that could be seen was glasses and what appeared to be a cigarette on the person in the darkness.

"Sooo, back to you my friend, who are you? what brought you to my quaint little town? What do you want? I've examined both of you as you were derived and you both seem to have some sort of mental scaring upon on your heart except this one here." The doctor pointed to Mitchell in the darkness. "Seems to have some physical scaring too. I've looked over your weapons and I have tried to deduct what I can from the both of you. Based upon your appearance, clothing choices, weapons and scaring."

Xzelaxer suddenly heard as he stop himself from saying anything and wait for the other guy to finish his speech. As he finish his speech, Xzelaxer replied to the guy. They said lots of thing about you? Well...Let me ask you something. Did they say you're going to die? Because...the main reason I was here was to complete my mission that I got from the King of Hell, to take your stingy life!! Xzelaxer speak as he watched the other guy with the very edge of his eyes like a wolf that didn't howl but is going to attack at any time.

"Young boy you make little to no sense its time your trap was shut." spoke the man from the darkness. A bandage slivered up from the darkness and shot at Zate and wrapped itself around his mouth and around the back of his head several times till the man could no longer speak but only make a low mumbling sound.

"As I was currently saying I've been examining you and your friend here, from what I have seen I can tell that you are outgoing, Carefree and Love to Party. You like a good fight but you absolutely hate losing. You are also lazy and don't enjoy doing anything which causes you to use energy. Yours usually humble and not so proud of yourself. As for your friend over there,
He seems very tense indicating perhaps some family problems, from seeing his facial expression change while he has been here the whole time it is clear he doesn't hide his emotions well probably because he was never taught to do so, he seems to have developed canine quirks such as barking, nuzzling and has seemed to try and run like one once or twice while he has been lying there and also he seems to have a very faint subtle scent of canine on him like it is stained on to his skin probably from excessive time spent around dogs. Now do you see I can pick out allot from you from simply examining the both of you I can't pick out your jobs but I can pick up that one of you is obviously the more law abiding one. I would say one of you is a pirate and the other not quite Marine due to lack of respect I would say perhaps bounty hunter."

3 more bandages slivered out from the darkness over to the tray of tools and wrapped around them. Picking up the tools and focusing over Zate one held a scalpel and was swaying over his torso whilst one help a pair of forceps and the other a syringe.

"From what you have just said you do realise you sound like one of the many people who has been hunting me down. You see I believe, nay I can hear voices calling out for me. I know they are coming and if indeed you are one of....them.........then I may have to dispatch you. But first I have a simple little question for you before I start anything....."

In the darkness a little more was revealed as the crazy doctor smiled his teeth shone a brilliant bright white.

Xzelaxer's mouth got covered by the bandage and he hate it so much. Even thought he can't fight but at least speak some scary speech toward the Crazy Doctor. He don't try to mumble as he already there's no chance, and it's only lost his coolness.

As he heard the Crazy Doctor, he somewhat surprised by the fact that this guy know lots of thing about himself. Well...even something that he didn't even realize himself. The heck is this weird guy!? He thought to himself. But the Crazy Doctor still have some wrong prediction, since he's never following him.

He heard the man want to ask him some question so he look at the guy in a sign of agreeing and are now listening for the question.

Mitchell still lay unconscious after the blow to the head he had sustained as it had been a bloody powerful impact, he had a lump on his head from where the impact had struck and was still lying on the slab motionless except for him breathing.

Looking at the man in the poncho the doctor fired bandages towards him lifting his poncho to reveal the scar on his chest. In the shape of a cross.
"The scar of a martyr." The doctor spoke quietly.This young man Has tried protecting people and failed. He must have a wound much bigger and nastier than this in a much more important place........." The cigarette in the doctor's mouth rolled from side to side before some more smoke was breathed out in Zate's direction.

"His heart."

Turning back to Zate the doctor stepped closer but still remained shrouded in darkness and hidden from view. Footsteps could be heard as he walked closer and his glasses and cigarette could be seen approaching.

"How would you like to become part of my little deal? Nod if so and shake your head if its a no. You see I plan on using you whether or not you agree anyway. The only difference is one you will die, the other you will live but forever remain here on this island for one purpose and one purpose only. Sooo,do you accept this offer or not?"

Xzelaxer heard the man asking him question. He think that the question was nonsense and of course, working under a crazy guy like him are not worth living. He's not a slave like and it would have ruin his reputation to Zero. A man should live in glory or he wasn't worth living at all. He rather died than got himself looked down on. Xzelaxer shake his head in the sign of disagree. Nothing can take his life while his dream wasn't fulfill...he thought.

The doctor stepped out of the light at this disagreement he had planned to use this man's strength and speed to his fullest as this man obviously hadn't ever done so. Stepping out of the darkness looking down at the man through eyes of disappointment and slight anger his full form was displayed before both Zate & the now awakened Mitchell who shut his eyes to keep attention from himself and keep it on Zate.

[Introduction Box]
Doctor Barbe Wire

Former Marine Doctor
18,000,000 Beli-For using Marines as test subjects.

"You disagree?! Well well well this will be a sad day for you as your life will end but a joyous day for my previous creations as they'll be getting improvements. The Doctor Barbe smiled.
"I'll say my good byes to you now then my dear friend." Barbe waved at Zate then allowed his bandages wrapped around tools to get to work.

The one holding the scalpel began slicing through Zate's shirt cutting it to shreds then began peeling it from his body carefully not to damage his skin too much not that it mattered. The one holding forceps began to pull at certain parts of Zate's skin to see how stretchy it was starting with his neck the last one holding a syringe turned for his neck and dug the needle into his neck and began pushing the liquid into his system. Luckily for him this liquid wasn't going to kill him, but it would make his body feel stiff and very difficult to move.

"Don't worry too much about that syringe its just injecting you with embalming fluid my good friend. You won't need to be moving anyway where your going."

The doctor smiled. Beside Zate Mitchell who had awoken wasn't going to alert the doctor and saw him begin surgery on Zate and didn't want to distract him since he didn't have his weapon he feared thinking his own attacks would be fairly useless and weak against this man.

Using his Paw Shigan on the leather strap on his left side his fingers tore straight through the leather strap. His wrist hurt a little from the amount of stretching he had to do but once his left hand was free he quickly freed his other limbs which thankfully the doctor did not notice. Mitchell remained lying on the slab as the doctor Barbe passed a quick glance at Mitchell through the corner of his eye. Mitchell saw him look then noticed his focus back on Zate and climbed off the slab.

Damn! I must do something! Xzelaxer thought to himself as his shirt was cut open wide. He feel the needly inside his body and it's done some pain to him. He try to ease the pain. Must do something! This mad doctor gotta kill me in some second. Xzelaxer thought to himself again. He tried to move his leg, struggling to free himself.

Mitchell looked back at Zate & the doctor he felt bad leaving the man behind but figured it may have been the best thing to do. Thinking in depth about what he should do he figured if he left Zate would point out Mitchell had escaped. but if he tried saving him he might agree to being allies, but then again this guy could double cross me. But if I leave him I'll never know. He thought to himself till finally he decided upon what to do.

As Barbe leaned in and licked Zate's cheek to get a taste of him he stopped his tools getting to work and sniffed at him then the next thing he felt was 4 fingers shooting themselves into his back sharply. Blood spilled from Barbe's back down his lab coat. Barbe stood up as Mitchell removed the fingers and looked at him with anger in his eyes.

"Leave my friend alone." Mitchell said to him ready for a fight.

Barbe smirked and turned around as bandages wrapped themselves around Barbe's body to stop the blood. He gave out a loud maniacal laugh and took a large step towards him.

Xzelaxer start struggling more and more as thing have gone more worst. He need to win against the action, the doctor was doing wherever it's likely impossible. Thought, he have a muscular body he can't do anything at all.

Xzelaxer than notice that Barbe have been attacked. It turn out to be a guy that he just make a bond with, Mitchell. Xzelaxer was surprised by the fact that he can free himself, and the way he's attacking. He remember that Mitchell was a Swordsman...but how could a Swordsman do anothing without sword. Interesting... Xzelaxer thoughtto himself.

Barbe brought his hands together and bandages shot from either side of Mitchell to grab his arms but Mitchell fortunately acted quick enough to dive forwards and avoid them as he dived forward he rolled on the ground and landed back on his feet in front of Zate. He looked down at him on the slab and used his Paw Shigan on the leather straps as quickly as he could manage.

As his fingers dug through the strap holding Zate's right wrist bandages quickly wrapped around Mitchell's stomach and started trying to pull him backwards. As Mitchell aimed to break through the straps on Zate's chest Mitchell felt a bandage wrap around his wrist stopping him inches away. Mitchell turned the attack using the momentum to turn back and tear through the bandage then lead back into one of the straps over Zate's body before Mitchell felt more bandages wrap around his legs wrists and mouth and pull him backwards into the darkness.

Barbe turned back to Zate to see him slight free and grinned showing off his putrid teeth.

Xzelaxer saw that Mitchell are trying to free him by some technique. Great... Xzelaxer thought to himself. But than losting back some hope as Barbe are trying to stop Mitchell's action. Damn that annoying guy. I wish i can slice him open. thought Xzelaxer. At last it came out that his left arm and one of the strap on his body are body are freed. Still it don't have many advantage but at least they're hope as Xzelaxer trying to use all his force in pulling out the strap while it seem like impossible.

As Mitchell was slammed against a wall by bandages he looked at Zate and hoped he would free himself in time. Looking at Barbe he knew he had to do something to escape and tried using his soru strength & speed to tear through the bandages.

As the bandages ripped Mitchell found himself still wrapped up but Barbe was sending more badges at him which Mitchell grabbed hold off and kept pushing them into them self till they made a large ball. Looking at the ball he smirked and threw it back toward Barbe who couldn't react quick enough to avoid it and was hit in the face by it.

Barbe fell backwards tripping and landed on his back hitting his head hard, he shut his eyes in pain then sat back up and looked at Mitchell who had rushed to Zate and started freeing him from the straps.

Once he had removed all straps Mitchell stood up and looked at Barbe.

Xzelaxer try to hear all the fighting sound and imagine what would happen while he was trying to free himself. He can see shadow figure but not clearly due to the darkness. Thing suprsie him when Mitchell rush out from the darkness, but somehow a relieve too. Xzelaxer tried to think up of a way to fought back or escape without his belove weapon. At least, he was muscular and oure strenght might work but maybe not against a very annoying bandage like an octopus hand.

Xzelaxer got freed as he tried to stand up where he found it hard a little from the long rest and struggling. His hand was red due to the fact that he's trying to pulling the strap. His neck ache. The struggling lost his coolness. Xzelaxer reach out for the bandage on his mouth and pull it away. His mouth ache a little and it barely wet from the sweat. Xzelaxer tap Mitchell's left shoulder with his left hand. Thanks for the help mate. You saved my life. I owe you my life. Xzelaxer show his gratitude toward a guy he barely known but risk his life to him. We retreat? Or payback? Asked Xzelaxer. Personally, he think retreat was a better way but he really want a payback. Whatever...time doesn't really matter.

"I don't run, I stay and fight whatever the consequences but you run, I'll be fine on my own. Go find our weapons and I'll meet you back on land."

Mitchell looked at Barbe who'd sat up and cracked his neck to the left then the right. Mitchell used his Stray Soru technique to launch himself at Barbe quickly as he did Barbe tried catching him among the bandages but failed as he moved to quickly and was found to be behind Barbe. When Barbe turned to look at him he felt faint and wasn't too sure why till he saw Mitchell's mouth a little bloody.

Hey...you're making me look bad. I'm a bounty hunter for long time and face some really hard situation and strong pirate and i'm not afraid of this insane rather ugly doctor. Whatever...i'll be waiting for you outside. I'll find my weapon and your weapon said Xzelaxer. He believe in this guy here, thoughthe have some doubt because this guy doesn't have a blade in his hand which it was one of his specialist. He will be finding his weapon and the guy's weapon quickly and might help if situation aren't good. But mostly, he would have just wait outside since he believe in the guy, that he could beat the doctor.


Xzelaxer rushed outside while keeping his eyes alert for some guard, so he couldask where the doctor left the weapon at.
