The Sun was still fresh in the sky, and so was blood dripping from the Broken wounds of our heroes... Learning things about Team Light, such as, being able to sleepwalk onto trains in a dead state; like Sleeping Beauty, to easily stealing gold chains off of the rich like Robin Hood: a whole new side of Neon and Draco that were unwilling to show, is revealed when times are darkest.... –Miracle has a lot of work to do, to get her ultras back on track-

Neon wisped away from the C.U.I with Bruce in her matter of Light, the two of them were making a run for it, as normal. Neon's original plan to take the two of them back to the burnt base and go from there was completely thrown off track.

"AH! NEON STOP NOW!" Draco (Bruce) Shouted inside their Matter of light wisp, The Shout echoing loudly in the being of lights head- he sounded pained and mournful!
"What is it?!" She asked starting to descend into the streets of the city, trying her best to find a good spot or alley where a worker or C.U.I wouldn't see two Ultra's appear out of thin air before their eyes!

"Shit! IT HURTS!" Draco Shouted again much louder! Urging her to land anywhere!
The blue tinted matter of light headed for the ground not far from the C.U.I, it was a large space between two rather big buildings, there was even some grass and yellow flowered weeds that grew between the cracks in the concrete... As soon as the matter form broke and the were two apart Draco Gasped for air falling on to his hands and knees, Neon shocked to see him Cough and hack like he had nearly had been drowned by her! Her eyes widen spotting the blackness of his skin; he's gold scales falling to the ground with each hack she scrambled to pick them up to stop Hunter from tracking them!!! Around his neck was worse like someone had strangled him with black paint on their hands, only making it worst Draco hacking out black liquid-blood from his mouth in pain

"Draco!" Neon called out reaching for him with her still lit hand, panicking a little over him causing the dracle pain, this never happened before... She had thought his body was used to her matter form!

"AHH Don't Touch ME!" Draco growled spinning around hissing as he knocked her hand away! Neon's breath hitched; Helpless one too many times in this type of situation, She watched his black and gold eye glare at the ground continuing to try to control his breath.
As soon as Draco's eyes Met Neon's He was able to read her again, "I'm sorry! It was just all of a sudden... I couldn't take it-."

"Did I hurt you?" She asked quietly, shaken by what she didn't understand, the Black and gold Dracle eyes looking up at her- with more of Bruce look to them... the black where the white had been and the bright grim gold taking the brown's spot.

Draco hesitated before answer, mostly because he was out of breath. Taking in some air he replyed "I-It was your light."

"My light?" Neon muttered to herself, realizing too late that Draco was reaching Full dracle Refinement faster than before from the force Quinton had on his neck, Draco ripping off his tooth lock to stop the crazy Dracle from killing him.

"It was Horrible! Like my insides were being pulled in all directions." Draco added shuddering to find his words using his own thoughts...

Neon pulled away from her concern knowing Hunter would not hesitate to send CUI's out early this morning, they needed to get moving! The being of light knew how to stop his Dracle refinement but being unable to touch Draco without throwing his body into a pixel shock she only knew one place where she would be able to save him before it was too late... but she didn't know if she was ready to go back there or not! "we have to get moving Draco, if we can't wisp anywhere for now were going to need to be careful with how we go along on the city, ok?"

"What dose that mean?" he asked her in a bit of defensive tone with no warning.
"Ah, just wait here! I won't be long!" Neon uttered as she took a few steps away running off in to a wisp of light speeding off before Draco could blink or opposed to her. Like she promised the being of light was back holding in her hands a soft gray scarf about a yard long- the speed of light was no joke. "Here put this around your neck! That should cover it for now." Neon exclaimed dangling one end above him.
The Second Dracle looking at her with darting eyes He showed a grim look not bothering to take the gray scarf from her. "Where did you get that?" He asked for the pure justification just to be stubborn.

"It was mine, but now we need you to where it, so the city's C.U.I aren't suspicious when they see us." Neon answered trying to be patient with Draco, for his purposeful delay.

"Why should I believe you?" Draco asked with a flat face looking up at her with his black and gold eyes- Miracle on his shoulder.

Neon's eye twitched flipping her scarf over Showing Draco the hot coco stain on it that that was still bright brown and smelled like stale Chocolate kisses. "Look! That stain is from the first time we met! Ok; you weren't looking where you were going and knocked me right over with a hot drink in my hands." She recalled the day about a month ago from today she thought.
Draco looked over the scarf with unamused expression, "That could just be a blood stain from any old C.U.I that day..."
Neon huffed. "Draco- Call it whatever you want! Just put it on so we can get moving out of here!" Neon ordered sensing others not too far away coming towards them. Miracle Yelped at Draco, it being her quick style of saying 'Get your act together!' As the small Elemental Dragon did what Neon couldn't, grabbing the dangling end with her small black teeth swiftly flying her way around Draco two or three times till the scarf covered all of the blackness on Draco's neck. Miracle even going as far to try her best to tie it, sitting inside of the scarf ruffles like a pocket.

Draco stood looking down at the gray scarf- the chocolate smell wasn't that bad... Miracle making sure He wouldn't rip it off.

"Let's go!" Neon exclaimed!


"Where to?" Draco asked following her like an emotionally wrecked roller coaster, flipping between Bruce and Draco.
"The Keystone State." Neon muttered under her breath as the two started their way for; the only way out of Sandmark city, the train station.

Quinton was laid up on a stiff metal table, He hated waking up this away... it only meant his nightmare was real. He sat up with aching soreness in nearly all of his muscles; He wondered what the Mad-man had him do! His days were like blackouts forgetting everything, and the past month was like a bad coma.
"You died Again, you pesky second handed prototype" Hunter spoke out from the darkness of his lab with no windows, the only light made by Hunter's laptop for the two to see. The scientist was either always sharpening his needle-like smarts or planning what to have Quinton become next.

"gah, Why do you keep doing this to me." Quinton whimpered, the only time the first dracle could control himself, was after Hunter brought him back to life.... But he wished he'd just stay dead.
Hunter turned eyeing Quinton with only the one side of his face; Quinton was a pitiful man now... blind out of one of his eyes and spoke with a weak and helpless tone that made Hunter disgusted... "Simple." Hunter replied. The Mad-man stood up making his way around Quinton, the gleam on his glasses hiding his cold green eyes. "I want Deophilus' original Dracle in my control! I Want That Light Freaks S.E.T Sample That She Wears Around Her Neck! And I WANT THAT LIGHT FREAK DEAD!" Hunter Shouted slamming the table Quinton sat on making him flinch.

"God, what did Neon ever do to you!" Quinton tried to bark back but his voice was too feeble to shout!
Hunter snapped back in a way jabbing his finger on-Quinton's chest "YOU KNOW WELL THAT'S NOT HER NAME, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU COULD EVEN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW SHE BETRAYED ME!"

Quinton swallowed heavily with no words Hunter's yells got louder the more he tried to speak. The scientist huffed pulling a needle out of a drawer under Quinton's table... "I'm sure you know where this goes." The madman uttered pulling Quinton's buttoned up shirt down placing the large needle just above his chest.

Quinton Whimpered, knowing he wasn't able to run or push the scientist away without collapsing under his own pain "Wait! Tell Me what you're going to have me do?!" He pleaded before Hunter pressed his needled into his skin.
"You're going to Demolish a rather burnt Building... make sure it's all to the ground!" Hunter hummed pushing the needle into Quinton's skin pushing the dark matter in to his body, Quinton passing out back onto the table before he could ask why, the first dracle's muscle's twitched. Hunter placing the sharp needle back under the table looking away without an ounce of guilt lingering in his mind.

"You have Draco to thank for that..." Hunter muttered to the unconscious first dracle, "The Deophilus tooth he stabbed you with, pushed back your progress quite a bit... a now his slip up will cost him, her life and his loyalty.

Trains were safer, that's what 318.9 million people thought when trains made a comeback for long distance traveling... Cars were for short distance commutes back and forth from school and work... using hundreds and thousands of different communes on highways was dangerous and lead to many deaths due to human error... With advanced technology changing every day and growing minds it was important for people to be safer ... sometimes this lead to new and unexplained, intentionally good things blown out of proportion; to the point where C.U.I's and L.I.T's made up people's minds for them on how to be safe.... and how to keep them safe?

The fastest train wouldn't have been enough, 5 hours on this speeding bullet train and Neon was already sold out... Bruce was napping in the cabin across the narrow train hall- they were just small seats with curtains around them for the single riding passengers.... Draco hissed and said Neon's eyes made his eyes hurt... She felt like she was mothering a spoiled child across the country with her, but she had to keep in mind his refinement was the only reason he acted this way. She sat at a seat by herself that bared a table, her mind was running- thoughts upon thoughts that turn her writings and questions into a Jungle of doodles inside of Hunter's red Journal... Not wanting to see the Man's handwriting she, wrote from back to the front with her left hand in favor of her right... she was trying to think of a procedure of executing the progress of Bruce's Dracle refinement...and execute his dracle attitude while she was at it.

Neon bit on the end of her pen. How would she know if she would be able to get back into L.I.T? The Keystone's L.I.T's funding was cut, she stop keeping up on it after that... She thought She maybe had rushed into this... it really was the only place where She could treat Draco without making him worse. The being of light got up to walk to the viewing cart behind them to get some fresh air- maybe she would think better... The train may be newer them most but the ideas of an old good train were kept well. Walking by, Neon didn't feel Draco's dark energy behind his cabin curtain.
"Draco?" She Questioned pulling backs the soft colored cloth, seeing his Overshirt on the seat with Miracle on the windowsill... "Not Again!" Neon swore under her breath Wakening Miracle up; the winged lizard yawning. "Which way did he head?" Neon Asked Miracle as if there was a person in the seat. Miracle did nothing more Then jester her tail up the train carts.
Neon huffed out ginning her teeth making her way up the train leaving Miracle sleeping in the window bathing in the noon sun... The being of Light had an idea of where he might be.

"Draco!" Neon Shouted stepped into the food cart: and part of the train where you could buy whatever a human would ever need during a long road trip. Neon finding Draco at the bar, his head on the counter of the bar, sitting on a stool a heavy drink in his hands. Neon's eyes narrowed Drinking to her was slow confusing and painful way of killing yourself; even though that was what was already happening to Bruce, the being of light Grabbed The second Dracle by the scarf pulling him away from the bar!

"heyyyy I was'in done with him yet!" Draco slurred his words and could barely stand as he pointed at the man behind the bar! Neon gave the bartender a glare trying her best not to touch Draco on the skin.

"I cut him off- it's obviously his first time drinking... his eyes are black!" the bartender paused looking at the two together. "You his wife?" He asked as he emptied and cleaned the glass Draco drank out of...
Neon groaned "if anything- I'm his baby-sitter!" She hissed as the Man chuckled, dragging Draco by the scarf, dancing with two left feet to stay up right as She pulled him through the train cart... Swinging the Dracle by the scarf back into his seat!
"You got to be kidding me... Draco, don't drug yourself during your refinement! This far in You might have complicated everything!" Neon growled at the dracle, only seeing he was passed out- sleeping in his chair next to Miracle. "uuuuugh!" She huffed sitting back down stressing over Bruce, he's dying and doesn't know it!
She sighed knowing she still doesn't have the heart to tell him... even if with every hour he acted more and more like Quinton! The being of light kept her hopes up that she can salvage his human mind back together as soon as they got to L.I.T . Only one more hour till the train stops at their station, it was just a matter of time!

-=-=-=-=-=-

"Where are we?" Draco groaned stepping out of the self-driving Uber following Neon on to the campus. The sun above adding a headache to his handover.

"Welcome to L.I.T - Light Industries of Technology..." Neon uttered Looking around. "But I don't think it's an Industry anymore..." She answered.
"What are we doing here?" Draco Hissed as he rather had stayed on the train.
"Uh, There's just something we have to do inside, in a certain room, with you strapped to a certain table." Neon Hummed quickly....

"What?"
"Nothing..." Neon scoffed, spotting a group a People in front of the three. "Wait here for a second." Neon told Draco before heading towards them. The group being a few Girls and guy talking she asked "Excuse me? Do you know what's this building used for?" Neon asked as she pointed to the former L.I.T building.

"The group paused one of the girls Answering her "It's the Keystone scholarship college, it's been like that for about a month, we go there." The girl added Neon thanking her kindly before walking back to Draco. Grabbing Draco; who found himself talking to a few girls about the 'rear' coloring of his eyes, by the Scarf she headed into the front of the building.

"Stop leading me around like a dog!" Draco barked at her pulling the end of the scarf out of her hand, continuing to follow her speed... "What are you doing now?!" The second dracle asked the two making a left down a rather dim-lit hall.

"I have to check Something Very Important!" Neon stressed Hurrying a little more each time Draco Asked another question with his worsening refinement. Just like she remembered, two lefts and a right! And just like she feared her Lab Door was blocked off! With a pixel Biohazard sign nailed to the front... without Bruce's scales there was no way to break the locks, and with no light there was no way she could slip in! "We need to get in there! Can you pick the locks?" she asked Draco.
"Yeah... but why would I want to?" Draco scoffed Picking at his dirty nails as he leaned against the door. Miracle perched on his shoulder giving a Hiss, but didn't do much to the effort that Neon was after.
"Ugh..." peering at the dracle, the thought of just knocking him out and using his scales herself crossed her minds as her eye twitched again, patience becoming a limited thing for her, but before any drastic action took place... Neon spotted a woman at the end of the lit up hall with a side of jingling keys rigging as she walked.
Neon's eyes widen passing the unbearable Dracle "ma'am! ma'am!" Neon called out to the short well-dressed woman.
The Woman with stern eyes glared at the Bright eyed lady calling out to her, and her 'friend' behind her. When Neon was close enough, she said to her. "It's Professor West, to you young lady!" Professor West stated.
Neon, Draco, and Professor West stood alone in the hall, "Professor West... I need a favor of you-." Neon started.
"Not Now!" West interrupted "I have a space lecture, I should be giving, and that you should be taking notes on!" The Professor scolded Neon, viewing her with hunter's book and young appearance she was mistaken as a scholarship scout. Before the two could oppose in anyway Draco was taken into one hand by the arm and Neon in the other; like children, they were pulled into the lecture hall.

Neon was baffled, she wasn't a scout! Being a Space and energy engineer was on her resume among tons of others things that would put West under her. She used to Work at the L.I.T, But with no choice, Draco and Neon found a few seats that were empty to sit... she wasn't impressed on what the college had done to the large scale testing room; it was now had rows that when up with long tables and chairs... Professor West at the very bottom with her prepared lecture in hand.
Throwing her ring of keys on her desk professor turned to the class. "Good afternoon, Keystone students and scouts." Professor West greeted after the lights dimmed, turning on her microphone headpiece, she carried a remote in her hand the room watching the wall screen boot up with her lesson on it. "Let's start with the simples- then we'll build on that like seconds making a minute... Ok, origins of the universe-
"The big bang?" Neon scoffed under her breath "I had that down before kindergarten play time- West..." The being of light muttered configuring alcohol consumption into her executing progress, She stopped listening to the space lecture after West hit Space and Time Warps, and how Technology has excelled past using Black holes to travel in space allowing humans to do so much more in space than ever." It was all juror high talk for Neon.
Draco who had found himself bored no matter how many new and unknown things West spoke of, to him it was long and boring. He fiddled with his chair, talking to scouts around him and tried to find any way to agitate Neon. "You know you could learn something while you're here?" Neon muttered nearing her last straw as he neared his last DNA trait of Bruce, throwing a stray pen at her.
"Could I, what about you?" Bruce scoffed tipping his chair back on its two legs looking at her as she gave him a scowled.

"Please! I wish I could learn more, if anything I could teach West and this whole Hall." Neon Huffed quietly, continuing with her paper and pen, not giving Draco anymore of her attention.

"pff" Draco hackled her. "LAME!" Draco yelled as loud as he could in the hall making Neon jump Miracle hissing!, and interrupting Professor West's lecture!

"Excuse me!" Professor West asked over the speakers up where the yelled had emerged from. "Would one OF YOU like to Teach MY Lecture?!" She asked in an empty threat looking up at rows of students and scouts above! When an arm shot up!
"Draco!" Neon Hissed, the dracle using a scarfed wrapped hand to lift her elbow when she had been blocking him out. The Dracle Snickered the Professor picking her out before she could remove her elbow from the dracle grip...

"What, you said you could out teach Professor West! Now prove it!" Draco uttered As Professor West spoke out to Neon.
"Stand up, scout!" Professor West yelled, everyone's eyes on her as the lecture hall filled with heavy air, and so Neon Dropped her Pen and stood looking down at Professor West.
"What's your Name scout?" The Professor asked like a drill sergeant not breaking eye contact from the young lady.
"Neon," She said back loud enough for her voice to be heard.
"Neon- who?" Professor West asked raising a brow.
Neon froze for a moment, hearing Draco snicker again smiling up at her. "Neon Lights?" the woman mentally slapped herself for her jumping pulse.
Professor West narrowed her brows "Well, Neon Lights.... Step down and teach if you're so confident!" another white lie. West was baffled when she started making her way down. Neon grinned her teeth walking down the brightly lit steps, she held and steel flat look on her face as she bit her tongue.

The two exchanged glares as neon held her hand for the remote and headset to control the screen. Professor West placed them in her hand with a laugh... Neon looked up at the students and scouts, Bruce's gold and black eyes smirked at her, Neon huffed determined to teach quickly, and get the class over as fast as she could so Neon can get her hands on Professor West's keys.
The being of light flipped the next slid on the screen with the push of a button, the slide's title reading 'Dark energy and Cosmic microwaves'
"Of course..." Neon muttered chuckling at herself.


-=-=-=-=-
"The findings could help reveal how dark matter is distributed throughout the universe on large scales. Dark matter has the same gravitational effects as normal matter but does not interact with electromagnetic radiation and so cannot be seen directly. 'There are many simulations, but few observations, that suggest how the universe's dark matter is structured,' she explains. 'But because this lensing of the microwave background depends on how the dark matter is clumped, future experiments measuring these distortions in the CMB should be able to get a handle on how large-scale dark matter is distributed."
Neon grabbed a water bottle from one of the desks in front of her, taking a drink to quench her dry throat, that being the only time she paused in her lecture. She looked up at Draco; who shockingly paid every bit attention to the being of light as she continued through the four-hour lecher, that she had simplified into a haft an hour.... The Students around Draco and in the dim room trying to type down notes from the lecher; but Neon was too fast. Eyeing back at Professor West who stared at her in disbelief, like she was in a dream, more likely a nightmare for her; there was nothing worse than having a scout in your class that knew more than you!

The blue eyed intellect ultra pushed the remote button one more time the class flinching readying themselves for another wave of information to mash down on their laptop's keyboards, but the screen when black, Neon Grinned at their expressions; she missed this feeling... "And that concludes today's lecture!" She said proudly "If you have any questions I'm sure professor West would be glad to answer." She hummed pulling off her headset and handing them back to the baffled Woman.
After nearly every hand shot up keen on getting their question answered, West had her hands full! Neon made her way out after using West's blind moment to use her light to swiftly swipe the keys off of her desk that she needed for her lab... the action was faster than anyone's eyes to catch; besides Draco's; who exited out of the crowded room after her.
-=-
"What the Hell, what was that!" Draco Shouted the moment their eyes met again outside in the former L.I.T dimly lit hall. Stopping Neon on her path to get back to her Lab Door! He glared at her with anger like he just all of sudden snapped.

"Not as dumb as you think I'm Draco," She spoke to him sarcastically still holding the keys in her hand, with a light feeling in her chest from Teaching. "Didn't think I was being serious back there did you!" She added attempting to pass him, cautiously looking for the right key.

"pff, not that! THAT! You're a complete and utter hypocrite!" Draco pointed at the set of keys in her hand.
"What!" Neon grimed her look, his words not only pulling at her last straw; the feeling of the air around him was a heavy black; like a ghost had passed right through her.
"You told me Stealing was wrong. Miss Perfect isn't so spotless now!" Draco uttered like he was hurt deeply by her action. He scoffed about to continue his enraged fight; Neon passing him trying not to give him the attention; no matter how much she wanted to shout back... getting back to the door Miracle yelping at Bruce before He could blow his fuse with a professor turning the corner.

"Ah there you are, Miss Light!" West called out- finding to two unexpectedly fast for have a room full students and scouts with questions to answer. Neon nearly didn't react to 'her last name' being called out trying all kinds of keys on the ring in the locks on her lab doors.
The being of light flinched hiding the keys in her leather coat pocket "Professor W-west! Hi again; I thought I left you with a room full of questions to answer?" Neon shuddered not moving away from the door, Draco hackling at the professor making his way over to the other side of the hall, hating other women way more then he could stand Neon- and Neon was a push itself.
"You did, but after that, I see Right through you two!" She uttered walking up to Neon.
"You do?" She asked. Neon preparing to temporarily paralyze the woman before she could out them, as ultras or worse!
"Of course, only one type of person could have stood in front of MY class and done what you did!" Professor West lowered her tone! "You're an-!" Neon prepared herself.
"Online college rating scout!" Professor West announced! "You're one quite the professional! You got the look and everything!"
'wat?' Neon side in relief internally "Oh wow, Er You couldn't have been fooled, I rather thought my act was clean!" Neon Joked as the Professor laughed with her!
After Professor West laughed faded she asked boldly "So what did Keystone scholarship college score!?"

Neon Froze... "I-I haven't finished calculating yet but...." Neon leaned on the door to her old lab. "I can tell you as soon as this door is opened and I'm able to investigate this 'unsafe environment'.... Just to see if it hinders keystones score at all." Neon asked pointing at the pixel Biohazard sign nailed to the front of the door
"Oh, of course, Miss Light!" Professor West nodded pulling a Single key out of her keen high Boots. "This Room was here before the school was... it was never cleared out since it so big: and this building has so many rooms with not enough thinks to fill it with; so it was locked off." Professor West explained unlocking each of the locks with the same key. "I don't believe it's as dangerous as the sign makes it look." She added.

Neon walked in like it was her own house as West opened the doors "Thank you Professor..." She thanked motioning for Bruce to follow Neon in, which he only did after a glare was thrown at him from her as West was making her way to back to her class "Meet you again later," she said on her goodbye... Draco still hackling her as he shut the door behind the Professor; Neon muttering to do so.
"Lock it!" Neon added making her way over to her well-kept counters that had collected dust over her aluminum absence to her lab... Neon turning on the lights of the large scale Lab Neon once earned through her work.
"So you sham people now too?" Draco asked in a low tone taking a look around himself, it was more interesting than anything he'd seen that day.
"I didn't sham her, I was just using what I was already given to work with; to get us to where we needed to be!" Neon stated counter throwing the keys out of her pocket along with Hunter's journal onto the counter.
Opening the book, she started busily collecting tools & equipment she would need, things such as syringes and scalpels...normally an engineer wouldn't of those things but, while she was bored around the lab... the female earned M.D. degrees around the state.
She was told she couldn't do everything- well she was well on her way proving that to be false before the ultra storm came! when she was recovering from her accident she did research on it... JonLuke Pixel, he took responsibility for the World wide storm but since then has gone off radar. He created the new element called Pixel, named after him and of course the ignorant fact that it looks like a pixel.
On the day of June 2, 2022, JonLuke decided it was time to 'doom the world' but the way he put it was 'change forever'. He spent 'months' to make a machine that would generate energy to change a human's DNA. Using the Pixel element as a main component; the purpose of the machine was to enhance human's natural abilities and being able to customize a human's DNA.
The night he started the reactor core, it burst into an explosion hitting JL with his own chemicals. But it didn't stop there the explosion created a storm that changed people into freaks! Like herself people became Ultra-humans The CUI's And LIT's grip on the country snapped like a rope bridge taking and holding as many Ultra-humans as they could find... more than most going unwillingly and forcefully.
And so the balance between CUI's and LIT was broke CUI going up everywhere to handle safely for the still normal citizens, and LIT's going down slowing, the process of new technology.

But that wasn't the only thing that sparked issues among Society; the unstable element was an extremely powerful resource of energy... which in the wrong hands could and did cause more issues, a single example among many was Hunter's Pixel Gun which was deadly to anyone not baring exact DNA copy inside the gun... so everyone besides Neon... that seemed ironic.

Before Neon knew she had nearly everything she needed in the nick-of-time the one last thing she needed was Draco on the table so she could get Bruce back, and finish saving the city.
"STOP ZONING OUT ON ME!! God you think miss Perfect would be good at something" Draco yelled apparently trying to get her attention... he wasn't thinking straight; you never yell at a lady when she has many sharp things at hand she can throw at you!
"What was that?" Neon asked again her tone rising at him; her last straw was still out in the hallway.
"I asked; hypocrite, what you were doing rummaging through everything?"
"I'm not a hypocrite! And it none of your business, all you need to know is how to sit yourself on that table." Neon spoke sharply pointing to the table acting as an island to the lab's counters

"Pff, why should I?!" Draco hissed Miracle Yelping at him, be he refused to stop Draco only yelping back at her with his black and gold eye angrily ripping the Gray fabric scarf by the seams off of his neck with a loud 'rip' that made Neon Snap!
"You don't know what you're doing! You're completely senseless at the brain!" Neon muttered lowly narrowing her eyes as her temper grew, her patients being nothing but a mere Speck of dust inside of her.

"Your Right again, Miss perfect I don't know why I've done most things today!! Like why Did I even follow you here?! Let you drag me on trains?! Why have I listened to you from the start, it's not like you've done anything to benefit me- all this time! NEOn, Neon Neon!" Draco scowled Neon feeling the dracle become colder... at this point, she couldn't tell if she was standing in the room with either a full blood dracle or Bruce.
"Me?! Are you serious! This Whole thing has been about you from the Start!! You're the only reason we're here!" Neon yelled fury making her eyes light up Miracle yelping again after her distressed part!
"Psh Tell me why then; if that's the truth!" Draco Barked only back louder shutting to two up.
Neon huffed trying to force herself to say it but nothing came out of her throat when she tried! She panicked She was qualified to be a doctor for God's sakes! Shouldn't she be able to tell him he was going to die, and lose his free will possibility matter of minutes if he didn't cooperate quicker with her!
"That's what I thought, you liar." Draco Huffed at Neon like she was dirt under his feet, miracle wined softly on Neon's shoulder as Draco turned away heading for the door- No doubt but to leave L.I.T.

"Dimmit! I didn't want to do this to you! But we Have No fucking time left to sit on!" Neon sighed pulling the syringe off the counter along with a bottle of heavy sedative, pulling up on the plunger of the Syringe, placing the needle on. She wasted no time on using light to wisp over behind Draco walking away readying to stick the needle in the back of his neck.
Wham!
How Draco got her desk lamp in his hands; she wasn't entirely sure, He had used the black Titanium lamp to swing at her! and like a metal bat it hurt- Neon's ears rung with the same long beep as she was flung back from the hit, her arms catching the counter before she met the floor. She saw Draco with the lamp. An entertained look covered his face!
"Trying to Drug me behind my back?! You devious little wisp!!" Draco growled as his arm scales began to turn darker and with his anger his wrist started to illuminate a black aura! Draco holding his arm straight a blade came out!! He was able to create the same scale blade as before... the only difference was it was black as the ink sky at night above Sandmark city!
Neon's Breath hitched when Draco dropped the lamp on the floor in favor of the Blade, Draco's eyes widened like a Child's would when given a wrapped box on their Birthday, then he's gaze fell back upon her. The being of light stood pushing herself off the counter. He couldn't possibly be thinking this! Neon thought as she started to back away her pupils shrinking, she couldn't fight back with light it would compromise her calculations!

Draco dived forward with his black ink blade swinging it in the same form he did the lamp! It graced her coat sleeve making a slit through but didn't touch her skin as she jolted backward in the huge laboratory her yelp magnifying through the room. Miracle growled spitting Ice at the dracle who threaten them! Draco's smirk grew as he held the blade up flat across his face to deflect the Icy blast back at Miracle the Small dragon turning into an icy block on Neon's shoulder; that fell to the ground with a large Clank!
"Miracle! GAH! That's too far!" Neon Barked locking eyes with the dracle in the room which she no longer believed bared a speck of Bruce!
"Do something about it!" Draco Raged to get a reaction out of her.

"You asked for it, not me!" The being of light Hissed as she abled herself to do what she couldn't before! Wisping away over the Dracle she reappeared in less than a second picking up the same dropped lamp in one hand and still holding the syringe in the other. Her pulse raced for a halt but she jumped into another wisp as soon as the dracle locked eyes with her! One moment in front the other behind as he swung around trying to hit a force as fast as light, although she got cocky! As she appeared again & again the simple minded dracle saw her pattern! He swung again after a long pause of confusion the tip of the blade catching her chin and slitting her skin upwards on her face before her body matterzied to light she hissed in pain reappearing quite far away from him and staying formed. Draco took what he sought after jumping at her during a free window of attack! Accordingly Neon raised the lamp in her hand to try to block the attack with the Titanium at hand!
Draco's blade capable of cutting dracles with one swing if he was focused enough the blade sliced right through Neon's Titanium lamp! Out of instinct she kicked the dracle! hitting him square in the stomach she threw him back a ways, she threw what was left of the lamb at him as well! Draco coughed up black blood again from her contact.
"You're running out of lab room to run!" he muttered wiping blood away without looking away from her.
He was right... unknowingly she was to a wall; and all she had was a single syringe, some light that was toxic to use & some two cents she couldn't spit out! He dived at the being of light again, the area was slow mo as he's blade was darting like a train at her chest! Dimmitt if she was going to be stabbed through like Quentin she was going to say IT! ! It was he and she's life on the line... not like there was anything more she could try to do!
Inches now neon shouted as loud as she could bare! "YOUR REFINDMENT IS KILLING YOU!" And then prepared for the pain!

Neon winced but a blunt force was all that came to her she was astonished to see the worn-down edge of the black blade hit her! If the blade was dull; Draco had broke his concentration! He believed her! Neon's back to the wall and the dracle eye to eye with nothing but a dull black blade between them Neon wasted No time!
Before Draco could respond to the news he found himself being punctured with a needle on his neck... the world faded away from the dracles eyes; the once deadly blade vanished from sight... the being light pulling the needle out of his neck, she held him limp in her arms... his eyes closed he looked so dead; tears started a small well in her eyes.


-=-=-=-=-=
Neon yawned from lack of sun exhausted the getting a swift look at the digital clock on the counter it read 10:23PM, took her a while: a long while to figure it out but in the quiet of her old laudatory where she thought the best it wasn't long before she found an alternative answer.
It wasn't a direct surgery it was more like an incision; that rippled through the rest of the body... there were seven stitches up Bruce's left arm where he described to her where the dragon from Crossword bit him... and just like that she found a black chip of the tooth that had come back with him, after coming across it through the incision... all the being of light had to do was touch it really to stop the income of the dark energy into his human body, the tooth chip turning white. This being the easy part of course... Bruce mind and body was still damaged beyond of the recoverable comeback on its own. Though it wasn't incredibly unstable for the being of light to give up anymore than what she had left. Neon used Hunter's old calculations and writings of the refining dracle's DNA structure to locate the spreading chromosome of the dark energy. Replacing it with her single pixeled DNA, light chromosome... last time she checked one negative and one positive made a neutral. With his body in this state under sedatives the DNA reproduction should be well on its way to his mind... in favor of a waiting in worry in front of Bruce, to see what kind of mess she had made worse, she occupied herself by unfreezing Miracle from her block of ice then aiding to herself with the first aid kit then thought her pain and wound where dry she knew they still had to be cleaned.
After Miracle had herself a hot damp rag to lie on Neon stuck her hands under the hot running water of the counter's sink, washing the dry blood off of her face.
The haziness of a waterfall filled his ears as He came through; his whole body was filled with a stiff pain like he was changing from the inside out, that being the normal these days, he guessed. Breathing in and out his body was sore like no yet wanting to agree with his brain's movements trying to sit up or and least open the lids of his eyes to see the waterfall he heard. The strangeness that filled his mind slipped away like a dream you thought you had but, you couldn't remember standing in it. Bruce Felt his hand come up and feels the sides of his nose... He's eyes met with a pain of lights shining down on him on a table the bright and sudden light; Bruce ran right to the conclusion he had been abducted by aliens! But he still heard the waterfall? He groaned letting his arms pull him up to a sitting position so he didn't have to look at the brightness of the light anymore.
The waterfall without warning came to a drip! When he lifted his gaze to where the sound had stopped from he saw a woman figure in a white lab coat standing in front of a sink with her hand still on the handle, standing like she might just fall asleep where she was at.
She turned around and it is someone very familiar that made him puzzled to look at but the moment she met eyes with him... she looked shocked like he had just stood from a casket. Her Hair was a messy tail behind her head and her face was red, but was only because the large wound on her right cheek. The blood dipped from it still wet, she had yet to dry off with the towel beside the sink what a black being lying upon it? Like the delay of his body movement it came to him as he looked at the two strangers. "N-neon?" he questioned seemingly out of nowhere like he had pulled a rabbit from his back pocket!
She answered with a delay similar to his "Yes?"
"What's a Cosmic microwave?" He asked a fuzzy memory of it coming back to him hearing someone say it to him? No, a few people maybe? Like a whole class, learning from a teacher?

Neon sighed in instrumental relief! "Thermal radiation left over from the time of recombination in Big Bang cosmology..." She answered softly like she explained earlier that day to the class of lecher students... "Bruce?" She questioned after her explanation.

"Yes?" He answered his memory becoming less and less blurry as the two spoke.
"Do you remember where you are?" Neon Asked As she inched closer with a step and a haft, testing if his toxic feeling to light had been stopped.
"A place called.... L.I.T?" Bruce answered that part coming back long before a sudden lamp came to memory.
Bruce was automatically hit with a rush of disgust as something he wished he didn't recall the moment it came back "oh Turtle!"
"What is it?" Neon jumped leaning in as Bruce threw his face into his hands his elbows on his knees leaning over the table. Before he answered his arms flew around her in a strange form of hug?
"Why did I hit you with a lamp? How could you let me do that! Use my blade on you, Neon?!" Bruce squalled in her shoulder confused and frustrated with a whimper!
Neon rubbing his back having to relive what had happen hours ago; to her to was like an old joke out lived and out laughed... "It's not your fault Bruce, that wasn't your mind at best."
Bruce flinching in Neon's arms like a child, in his tightly shut eyes he saw himself nearly kill Neon... and miraculously like a miracle... it ended. Bruce sniffed lifting his head seeing His Miracle that he had frozen. "You know I didn't mean any of that... right?!" He asked pulling away from Neon, Miracle landing with her wings out back on Bruce's Shoulder! With an agreeing purr! "Of course." Neon nodded helping Bruce off the table with his soreness... "As long as you don't mind the needle I stabbed you with...
Bruce rubbed his sore neck the area around it was bruise, but the blackness of his neck had slowly faded away after Neon stopped his refinement. "It could've have been worse..." Bruce sighed picking up the scarf he had ripped up before as Draco... "You really are a genius... Like way more than I had never had thought a person could be that smart."
Neon huffed... there was a lot today she got to relive. "Yeah, strange huh?"
"Yeah, I know I won't understand, but... how did you do it?" Bruce paused before asking another question. "How did you make me. me again?" There was a lot about today that was questionable!
Neon cracked a gentle grin. Turning to the microscope on the counter pulling out the slide she put in it "I had this in my pocket." She answered handing the glass slide to him.
Bruce looking down at the tiny slide in his hands... on the slide was a still gold scale. "One of my scales?" he asked again.
"Your scales that fell off this morning... At the time I was just trying to stop Hunter from being able to track us by following a trail of gold... but when you were out... I realized each scale was like a computer copy of you in hard-drive... a DNA replica of the sane you." Neon explained the simplest she could for the second dracle... her eyes so wanting to rest for the sun's arrival back to the sky!
Bruce Chuckled "Thank you Neon! Now... let's get back to Sandmark city, before that sun gives me a chance to rest... eh?"
"Yeah... I'm sure they'll be a train coming this way soon!" neon muttered in a sleepy tone but sure enough for Bruce to follow after her.

"Oh! And Neon?" Bruce asked one last time, team light at last back on the move heading out of the lab and back to the even darker hall.
"Yes?" She answered walking out of the hall to the moon filled lobby, which shook her awake a tad.
"You're Not a hypocrite... you were just trying to help... its pretty dumb Draco couldn't see that!" Bruce uttered kindly trying to make up for the Draco time, but that was a large unfilled circle in his eyes which were back to their gold brown.


"pff, yeah..."

-=-=-=-=-
Downgrading the keystone starry-sky for the Sandmark city's inky black night was a little hindering as normal, but it was good to be back in the place he has gotten to know with some help. Neon regaling all on what Draco had done over trip over to the keystone state was rather worry some, that being that only time he will EVER drink he laughed with Neon.... He was glad she could look back on it a laugh with him later like it was something he had done as a Spazzy kid years ago.

Not to many people were even on the train late like this... and if they were they weren't getting off here because they were fast asleep in the their cabins late like this... or early is how it should be put, around 3Am Neon Bruce and Miracle got back to Sandmark city...
There Base wasn't too far from the train station so neon held off of the wisping in any form of light through the night; it would only make her more tired than walking would.
But it was one of those time where you wish you had a phone with a G.P.S on it... For this reason team light found it hard to spot out there street or see their building, it all seemed different.
Miracle Yelped as they approached their rubble... the entire thing tore down to the ground, piled up and bank sighed... Neon's attention broke away from any conversion that Bruce her held. Her eyes widen seeing the whole building lot tore down under the darkness of the morning...
"Oh crap!" Neon muttered narrowing her eyes, after everything that had happened today this was the very last think she would be able to stand! "How did he find out about this place?"
"Who?" Bruce asked coming up behind her baffled as much as her.
"Hunter! Of Course!" She snapped back at him without intentionally meaning to come off as so. "I thought this would be the last place he would think of to guess at!"
Bruce sighed under the summer night the light spiking in anger. "How do you know it was him?... maybe the city-" he tried to speak but before he could get out what he was thinking Neon marched into the lot, ripping a paper that was neatly tacked to a board of wood in the rubble off and handing it to Bruce as soon as she read it! Her eye shining the dark as she glared at him "Tell me! Bruce you have any idea how He knew where we were?!" She asked again.
Bruce was honestly confused why she was mad at him until he read the red ink penned note the being of light found. It read "If light is the fastest thing on earth? How did that darkness get there first? –Thanks for the tip, Draco."

Bruce's eyes widen looking up from the note and at Neon trying to conceal her pure rage in light. "I can fix this!!"

'I hope'
