(Elbarto is standing in the middle of the testing center, which is a huge gym. Elbarto looks up to see Colonel Cole and some scientists watching his every move.)
El: What are you planning Cole?
Cole: It's been a while since I've seen you in action Gideon. This exercise is to see what you can do.
(A large door opens up and six men with stun batons walk in. They line up shoulder to shoulder.)
Cole: All you have to do is beat them Gideon.
El: Exactly what is my incentive?
Cole: They have been ordered to kill you.....GO!!
(The men rush at Elbarto. Elbarto looks around for possible weapons. He sees a seven foot length of pipe propped up against the wall. He runs toward it and grabs it. Elbarto puts both hands in the middle of the pipe and holds it level in front of him. The first man reaches El. El swings the pipe down and trips him, then he swings the other end of the pipe into the man's ribs, breaking them. He then takes a step to face his next attacker.)
(Cole watches Elbarto dispatch the other five with little trouble.)
Cole(Thinking) He hasn't changed a bit. His speed is incredible. He watches the eyes of his attacker so he knows when they are going to move before they do.
(El finishes his last opponent and looks at Cole)
El: Are you satisfied.
Cole: Did you have to kill them?
El: I don't think they are all dead. Why don't you come down here and see for yourself.
Cole: I don't think so. Anyway, that's enough for today. Before you go though, I want you to know that I'm disappointed in you. You allowed yourself to get hit.
El:(Shrugs) Nobody's perfect.
(Guards come in to bring Elbarto back to his cell. )
Elbarto:(Thinking) I think my rib is bruised. Oh well, it couldn't be helped.
(As The guards escort El back to his cell, he thinks back on the fight. More specifically, the part of the fight where he got hit. He could have swung his hand around and parried the blow, but his hand was busy taking a knife off of a dead body and slipping it into his clothing.) 
When you can't run you crawl. When you can't do that...well...you know the rest.

The explosion knocks shiny off balance, The door is jammed shut from the force, separating shiny and the Captain.
Shiny is inside the building, she can barley see in front of her, the room appears to have no windows. She can hear a dripping sound
and smells what she thinks is steam.
Shiny slowly walks forward.
She thinks she hears something but not sure if it's her mind playing tricks.
She can tell that their are metal tables
with some type of instruments on them .
She continues walking slow she holds her gun straight in front letting it lead the way.
She hears another noise
she turns her head and see's Oreo staring straight into her eyes.
Being startled shiny jumps backwards shouting.."captain!"
Oreo grabs shiny by the throat
and throws her across the room.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

the TQ team wakes up on the ground... all except for SHINY.
they get up, still dazed from the explosion.
SHADOW: "where's SHINY?"
"she must have gotten inside."
they try to open the door but it's jammed shut.
"nuts."

(Oreo begins laughing as shiny is hurled into the air)
Oreo- you must be the runt of litter.
(Shiny lands hard onto the ground, her pistol falls from her hand and underneath a pipe Unit. she quickly struggles to her feet, desperately trying to keep Oreo in eyes sight)
Shiny- Oreo, please listen to me. The Capt. and everybody is just on the outside, we don't want to hurt you. We just want to help. Take you back home.
(Oreo lets out a roar, grabs shiny and throws her into a table with surgical tools. Shiny lands hard to the ground, but not without injury. A four-inch cutting blade is lodged into her right thigh)
Oreo- Home?! I don't have a home. Why would I wanna go with you? The same people that wanna experiment on me (chuckles) maybe even kill me.
(Shiny pulls herself to the wall, her right hand covered in blood from trying to keep pressure on the area just above her wound)
Shiny- Oreo....
(Oreo suddenly shouts)
Oreo- my name is Echo One! You should know that, you created me!
(Shiny flattens out against the wall as Oreo advances towards her)
Shiny- Or...Echo one, stop! Please! Listen. We are not the ones who turned you into this. It was the alliance. I am.... we are your friends. Don't you remember any of it? You're part of Tranquility. Our family. O2, El, pathfinder, Capt., The twin’s storm and Summer and Kat. And me, have you forgotten me?
(Oreo slams his fist into the wall beside shiny's head, causing shiny to turn her head)
(In a deep growling voice)
Oreo- What about you?
(Without looking at Oreo, shiny responds in a low shaky voice)
Shiny- yo..yo.. You...love me.
(Oreo backs away)
Oreo- You! Why would I love you?!
(Shiny looks at Oreo who is still backing away)
Shiny- I don't know, you never tell me how you feel, but I know. You love me, that’s why you haven't killed me yet. Somewhere in you, there is the oreo i know, fighting to come back. And Echo one, you can throw me around all you want, but, i'm leaving here, alive, with OREO! Do you hear me?
(Oreo starts turning over tables and throwing chairs)
Oreo- Why should i believe you? You come in here with your love tales and bombs
(Shiny snaps back)
Shiny- what bombs? You’re the one who rigged the door to blow.
(Oreo rushes into shiny and grabs her by the neck and lifts her off the ground)
Oreo- I don't need explosives to kill you or the rest of your friends. Just time and I got all the time in the verse to do it.
(Shiny gasping for air responds)
Shiny- you (gasp)didn't rigged the door?(gasp)
(Oreo somewhat annoyed at the question)
Oreo- let me make myself perfectly clear once more.... I don't need anything but what I'm using to choke the life of out you, to end your life.
(Shiny begins desperately grasping for air and struggling to free herself)
Shiny- thi.... think about it oreo, you were there when we (Gasp) land and when we got to the compound. The explosive was set (grasp for air) from the inside...
(Oreo unknowingly loosened his grip allowing shiny to fall to the ground)
(Oreo thinking to himself)
She’s right, the explosive was set to take out both them and me. What the hell is going on?
(Oreo looks down at shiny and kneels infront of her)
Oreo- something just ain't addin up, but it's playin in favor of you. (Sighs) Ok, lets says I actually believe everything you tellin me. Can you.... fix me. Give me back my memories. Help me find out who's trying to kill me.
(Shiny rubs her throat and responds in a gruff voice)
Shiny- yes, the whole crew will help, who ever is trying to kill you, is trying to kill us as well, but I need your help first.
(Oreo leans in)
Oreo- do you really think you're in a position to bargain with me?
(Shiny confidently leans forward)
Shiny- You help us get El back and we will help you get back your memory, along with finding out who's behind all this. Do we have a deal?
(Oreo stares into shiny's eyes)
Oreo- I'm I really in love with you?
Shiny- (nods).... yes
Oreo- then we have a deal, but, if you have

As echos 1 and 2 are slowly making their way down the corridor,
Shiny starts crawling on the floor
looking for her gun, Shiny whispers
"dammit Oreo, If you didn't throw me around
Like some rag doll I would have my gun".
Shiny see's her blood smeared on the floor,
Her thigh is bleeding worse.
She tears the bottom of her shirt off
and ties it as tight as she can around her thigh.
shiny stands up "Oreo I cant find my gun any ideas"?
Oreo just stares at shiny not saying a word.
Shiny, "I had no choice,
I had to wrap my thigh,
Thanks to you!"
Shiny walks over to the jammed door,
"is their anyway you can open the door?"
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

(Oreo replys, still keeping his eyes on 2 and 3)
Oreo- less you got another set of explosives under whats left of your shirt, i'm gonna have to say no.
(shiny kicks the door)
Shiny- so what are we gonna do now?
(Oreo arches his back. the familair making begin to appear all over arms, face and next. the black pupils in his eyes fade out. the reaver has surfaced once more)
Oreo- We separate,Can them guessing still i can figure something out. I'll get the big one to follow me, lead'em into the next room. you make a break for the hallway. it's dark, you should be able to her.
Shiny- Wha....But....
(Before Shiny can finish her sentence Oreo shouts at Echo three)
Oreo- Hey Double Ugly, try and keep up
(Oreo takes off, knocking over furniture and chairs behind as echo three sprints after him.)
(Shiny is left staring at Echo two, who is grinning back)
Echo two- Such a coward he is, leaving you to face me all by yourself with your wounded leg.
(shiny wipes her palms on her pants, muster's all the will power she can and takes off for the entrance to the hallway)
Go n-eírí an bóthar leat. - May the road rise with you.

Shiny's running as fast as she can. She can hear Echo 2 laughing, Mocking her.
Shiny keeps running then in one quick motion echo 2 jumps infront of her and slams shiny backwards.
Echo 2;" i think i'll have a little fun with you before i kill you. Like a cat with a mouse."
Shiny can barley get enough strength to lift herself off the floor.
she looks down the hallway as she pulls herself up and can see a faint light under a doorway.
Shiny Thinking (if i can just make it to the door.)
Hoping the door leads to the outside, its the only hope she has.
Shiny takes off again running, not looking back.
she has not too far to go.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.

it's dusk outside the building, and SHADOW and the TQ team try in vain to open the fused door.
"ok, lets see if there's a way in somewhere else... around back maybe, but keep quiet just in case. they may still think we're out front... or dead."
the team starts quietly around the building.
suddenly SHADOW stops and holds up his hand to stop the team.
"i thought i heard SHINYS voice."
after waiting a moment, and hearing no more sounds, SHADOW starts moving forward again, motioning to the team to follow.
SHADOW: "ho."
they start to walk. just then SHADOW stumbles.
KAT: "captain! you ok?"
SHADOW: "yeah."
KAT: "no you're not, you're bleeding."
SHADOW looks at his chest, where KAT is pointing.
SHADOW: "probably shrapnel from the explosion... i'll live. my coat stopped most of it."
SHADOW thinks... 'thanks for the special browncoat PATH.'
SHADOW thinks... 'there's a lot of sparkly stars out very early tonight... maybe they are fireflies.

As shiny reaches for the door knob she feels her leg is being pulled from underneath her and falls.
Echo 2 is dragging shiny backwards
Shiny face down tries to grab on to the floor
but its no use.
Echo 2 swings shiny back into the room shiny lands hard.
Echo 2 laughing,
"Whats the matter shiny?
you weak pathetic girl,
your no match for me so why try?"
Shiny looks at Echo 2,
"I will die fighting if I have to."
Over the com shiny hears Irish's voice.
"Shiny why do you try to save Oreo, haven't you learned their is no saving him, or yourself as a matter of fact.
the com ends.
Shiny is weak, bruised and bloody,
she looks at echo 2 and then back down at herself.
she tries to get up off the floor she can't.
Shiny starts thinking"This is it, I'm gonna die, and for what? for someone who cant be human or is capable of having sincere feelings?"
She thinks of her life before Tranquility.
"was it that bad, compared to this?"
shiny can feel herself lose consciousness.
...Also, I can kill you with my brain.
