The van rumbled away from Shanghai's neon chaos,
Heading toward the outskirts where tall trees loomed like silent sentinels.
Ahead, a massive mansion stood behind iron gates, its cold stone walls swallowing the fading sunlight.
Rouxie's stomach twisted. This place feels like a trap.
Before they could even knock, the heavy door creaked open.
A woman appeared—sharp eyes that gleamed like knives, lips curled into a smile too cold to trust.
"Welcome," she said smoothly, extending a perfectly manicured hand. "I'm Ruby Bullet."
Rouxie and Vargara exchanged nervous glances. Assistant? Or something worse? Ruby's smile didn't help.
"Dr. Bullet's assistant—and his wife," she added, as if that explained everything.
Inside, the mansion was like a museum of strange things: dusty weapons on the walls, jars filled with weird glowing liquids, and faded photos of people Rouxie barely recognized.
Dinner was awkward, the clinking of silverware the loudest sound in the room. Ruby and Dr. Feral Bullet talked in low voices, plotting who knew what.
Afterward, the girls were shown to their rooms. The heavy doors shut behind them with a solid thud that echoed in Rouxie's chest.
Her eyelids felt heavy. Sleep pulled at her, but Vargara lay awake, heart pounding.
What was it Xavier said?
"Danger," she muttered, trying to keep the memory alive. But the creeping fog of tiredness dragged her down.
Just as sleep was about to claim her, a harsh voice sliced through the silence.
"I told you, Feral! They're not ready yet! We can't lose this chance!"
Vargara's eyes snapped open.
From the dark hallway, shadows moved. A glint of metal—syringe.
She lunged toward Rouxie, shaking her awake—but the world spun, colors bleeding into darkness.
....... Ah!
When they woke, cold metal straps bit into their wrists and ankles.
Fluorescent lights burned their eyes.
Ruby stood at the foot of the table, that cruel smile twisting her lips.
"Welcome to your new reality," she said. "You're our test subjects now—necessary to complete my husband's project."
Ruby pointed to a massive glass tube nearby.
Inside floated a tiny figure, suspended in liquid — an unborn child.
Before the girls could react, Feral stormed in, eyes flashing with rage.
"You have no idea what's at stake," he growled. "Xavier came for you—or tried to."
Vargara's memories snapped back to Xavier's warning.
Feral's voice dropped low, cold.
"But a man named Pentagon and his squad ruined my plans to bring back my child."
As Feral started pulling off their clothes, something twitched beneath Rouxie's pants.
He froze.
Curious, he yanked them off.
Suddenly—a detached human finger sprang free and darted into his coat, disappearing with a flash.
Alarms blared.
Feral glanced at the security monitors.
Xavier was coming—walking calmly through the estate grounds.
The camera zoomed in.
Xavier raised his middle finger.
But... there was no finger.
Feral's face drained of color.
Flashback: Under the van, Xavier had bitten off his own finger—and hurled it away.
That finger had hidden inside Rouxie all along.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
The lab doors exploded inward.
Xavier stormed in.
Feral and Ruby pulled guns, aiming at the girls.
Xavier dropped his weapon.
"Rouxie," Xavier shouted, "do that thing again!"
She opened her mouth to respond—then Ruby slammed her gun into Rouxie's head.
Pain exploded.
Blood ran down her face.
Memories rushed back—her stepmother's cruel words, her stepsister's betrayal, the abuses from her stepbrother and father.
A furious fire ignited inside her.
"Old hag," she spat, voice trembling. "Slut... you think you can hit me and get away with it?"
Heat surged from deep within her chest.
"I'll BURST your HEAD."
In an instant, Ruby's skull exploded like a balloon.
Teeth, brains, and blood splattered the cold lab floor.
Feral screamed.
Xavier lunged forward and knocked him out.
( 2 hours later )
Red and blue lights painted the mansion's front yard.
Police had arrived.
Xavier spoke urgently with the officers, then turned to Rouxie and Vargara.
A distant thump echoed overhead.
A helicopter.
"Ladies", Xavier calmly said "Here's our ride", Forward his hand
.....
"Welcome to FOUNDERS INC."
Helicopter flew off with them, But was is Founder Inc.? Who is Xavier ? Why this girls are involved in this mess? And What will happen to Dr. Feral ?
But
The nightmare was over—for now.
