Chapter 1: Life or death?

Toshisue, a town of the future. A town that lives in the the century of new age. Where cars hover, cities filled with huge towering buildings that link to the ground, and computers are used for just about everything. This was the future, though no matter how much time progress, we still have crime rates as big as ever. Robbing banks, stealing technology, just about anything you can think of. It happened in the morning, where everyone could see, and it also happened at night. A time when no one was on the streets, thus making it a lot more difficult to be caught.

Although it seemed like a bad town, it truly wasn't. They had great cops for catching the bad guys in the morning. And at night, they had their special surveillance cameras on the streets. Surveying every corner of every street. It could easily catch normal robbers. But recently.....robbers have been gaining weird powers. The normal cops can't seem to handle these new comers. So a special squad know as the M.A.G.E. or the Magical assistant Group Enforcement, have decided to use their knowledge and powers against these special criminals.

Currently though, they only have two people who can use magic in the group. Their names were Xena and Zena. Twin sisters and the only people who can use alchemy magic. Everyone else in M.A.G.E helps gain information, clues and other useful things about this 'power' the criminals had gain.

"Zena, there is a break-in between section 10-2 A and 10-3 B. North from our position. That is where the military weapons and projects are...." Xena,six year old little girl about 3'8 with extremely long, white hair that as it neared the tip it started to turn black. It was currently tied into one really long pony tail. Xena also had pure white eyes with a white dress that went down to her knee caps along with white shoes. Xena's dress had no sleeves nonetheless. Xena was the type of person who hated to talk a lot, show her emotions, or even speak up. Xena was always studying the environment and objects around her. Currently Xena had a few see-through computer stations around her. This helped survey the areas and keep crimes at a minimum.

"Hehe, finally. Time to begin operation: ZX!" Zena, same age as Xena and the same height. Her hair also was really long, but it was all black until it got to the ends. Which is where Zena's hair starts turning white. Zena's hair was in a double ponytail, one on each side of Zena's head. Zena's eyes were pure black and she wore a black and blue dress that went down to her knee caps. She had black and blue sleeves, but they weren't attached to her dress. Zena's shoes were boots and also black and blue that went up her legs a few inches. Zena was the type of person who loved to talk and yell, or even show her emotions. She spent a lot of time training in her room, always waiting got something big to happen. Zena was stretching a bit, ready to get ready to head out.

It was the middle of the night. Zena and Xena were sitting on top of one of the large, skyscraper that had pipes from the top going all the way down to the ground on them. It was their base for M.A.G.E and every criminal knew about the place. It was the largest building in the city and only members of the organization could get in. Making what happens inside top secret.

Zena takes a small board off her back then places the hover board in front of her. The hover board was black that shot blue flames underneath it. It was big enough for her and Xena to both get on at the same time. Zena looks over at Xena then holds her hand out towards her. Xena sighs before making the computers disappear then taking Zena's hand gently. Zena steps onto the hover board before pulling Xena on it with her. Once they both were fully on, Zena does a nose dive onto the pipe.

Zena lands sideways on the pipe as she slides down it at a high speed. Heading straight for the military factory. Xena held on tight to Zena as they seem to gain even more speed. Near the end of the pipe Zena jumps off the pipe, does a quick 360 spin before activating the blue flames on the bottom of her hover board, allowing her to hover in the air for a few seconds to descend on top of the military building.

Once Zena and Xena landed, the board folded back up into a small black cube. Zena picks up the cube then hands it to Xena."Hold this for me while I go in and take care of business. The usual plan right?"Zena asked, her head tilted some.

Xena nods some then gently takes the cube away from Zena. Xena then sits down on the roof, allowing the three see-through computers to reappear around her. After Xena started typing on them a bit, Xena hands Zena a microphone. "Communication..."

Zena takes it then blinks a few times before putting it into her own ears. Zena then slowly walks over to a nearby window on the roof, peering inside to find out a good spot to land. It was pretty dark inside, but a few lights like the tanks, which gave off a blue glow, and some of the computers lit the room up a bit. Zena decided the best choice was to land near the computers silently. So Zena steps backwards some before taking out two hand held size sticks that got bigger at the end. A blue laser like scythe, basically know as a light saber, but in scythe form.

Zena uses her scythe to cut a circle, large enough for herself, in the glass. Once she was finished, she quickly grabbed the glass so it wouldn't fall and cause a ruckus. Zena places the glass beside herself before jumping into the hole. Falling onto the hard metal floor. When Zena landed her notice was at the smallest possible. Which was at pretty much no noise at all. Zena takes her mic then starts talking to Xena. Zena spoke very quietly so no one in the factory would hear her. "Xena, I am in. Where do I go from here?"

Xena started scanning around the building, searching for the criminal. "There is only one criminal this time. It shouldn't be hard, depending on their power. Head down the catwalk towards a door that says 'Do not enter.' The criminal is on the other side." Xena continued to type before activating a alchemy circle, or pentacle circle in her eyes. When Xena did this, Zena did the exact same thing. This helped Xena figure out what Zena was looking at at all times. Though if Zena closed her eyes it would cause Xena not to be able to see. So Zena had to be careful.

Zena nodded then started walking down the catwalk to the door. Once she got to it, she reached for the knob then started to turn it. Zena opens the door slowly before noticing that the room was completely white with a weird looking tank with black water in the middle of it. The tank seemed to be an experiment the Military was working on. But the real question was what were they working on?

Standing next to the tank was a man wearing white scientist clothes. His hair was black with a white strike in them and it was long, going down to his shoulders. He was smoking a cigarette as well, even though a near by sign said 'no smoking.' The man soon notices the girl at the door then smirks before turning towards her, blowing out a small puff of smoke."Yosh."The man said, his voice was deep, yet calm. His eyes yellow and his height about 6'4.

Zena looks up at him before slowly walking towards him. Her laser scythe to her side, clutched tight in her hand. "No chi-chat mister, I just came here to take care of you." Zena held her scythe up a little more before getting into a battle position.

"Your a rude one it seems."The man laughs some as he runs his hands through his hair. "My name is Doctor Mali. Mali alone is ok. Nice to meet you." Mail takes out a small ray gun then points it at Zena.

Zena smirks as she continues to walk forward. "You can't hit the almighty Zena with a gun. Also, it isn't nice to meet you."Zena stops once again then points her scythe at the gun.

Mali laughs then pulls the trigger. A small toy flag comes out and on that flag it says 'bang'. "I hope this toy gun wouldn't kill you. It would be to boring."Mali laughs then smirks before turning around to the tank, looking at it.

"Don't move!" Zena yelled out, ready to attack if he refused.
"Experiment 76-X. A bot made for war by the military...."Mali didn't move, just puffed out air.
"Why would they need something like this?" Zena stayed in her fighting position. Making sure he didn't make any sudden movements.
"To fight for them when you aren't around of course."Mali blows out another puff of smoke.
"Don't give me that bull, why would the military want us out the way?"Zena asked, moving clover to him.
"Because you have free will. This robot does not. Or at least that is what the military think."Mali places his hand on the tank then it lights up and the black water clears. Showing a black robot with a laser arm and a tri-fold canon. In the middle of its head as a crystal that seemed to shine a bit.

"What are you-"
Before Zena could finish her statement, Mali aimed the toy gun at her then fired. This time a blue beam fired out of it. Zena quickly blocks the beam before sliding backwards some. As she slide backwards, the ceiling above the tank caves in. Mali puts in a few key passwords before jumping onto the water tank.

"W-wait!" Zena yells as a helicopter appears over the hole then a rope with latches comes down, clips onto the tank then puts it up out the lab."See you later, Zena!" The helicopter pulls it out completely before turning around then heading out to God knows where. Cloaking itself so that no one could track it.

"Damn it! How could I let him get away!" Zena slams her scythes into the ground. Feeling depressed that this guy got away. He didn't even seem to have any 'powers' so she knew she might get scolded for letting him get away. This was her failure.
