''"Oh..." ''Sari nods in understanding.

"Sentinel?" Emily asks.

"Be glad you don't know him." Sari answers.

''"Yes, yes, keep telling that to yourself - I'd rather you have your mind intact." ''Zakaku mutters, pulling away from the mantis-like figure. "But, anyway, from the looks of things, I believe you're prime for some...experimentation. I'd start now, but I'm going to collect a new subject."

Zakaku starts to walk out, stopping next to a box of metal with one thick window. "I'm sure you'll be an excellent subject - like Dave here. Don't you agree, Dave?"

Giant clawed hands made of metal slam into a window, followed by an agonized roar/groan that, if one listened close me, sounded like "KILL ME PLEASE".

Once upon a time, that thing had been human.

''"Hmmm...it would appear the latest mixture is causing you pain. Making you think irrationally. But not to worry - as agreed, I will find a way to revert you back to normal, return you to your family, and then leave you with a proper thanks for participating in my experiments." ''Zakaku has already made the same deal with several others he's finished experimenting with - either they stay with Zakaku longer so that they could potentially be reverted to normal, or he could just send them to their families as they are and leave it at that. Unsurprisingly, everyone has gone for the former option thus far.

The thing that used to be Dave quiets down, and Zakaku leaves.

Vezon is remarkably unaffected by the lick.

Ben is looking at Vezon. "Good question..."

"Okay, long story short, apparently Vezon got fused to this thing long before he got involved in this mess, they ended up unfused, and they went their seperate ways." Nimona explains. "And now the thing's back."

(Have you gotten the memo that Zakaku is a bit of a jackass yet)
