==== Prologue ====
He walked along the corridors, tail dragging behind him. Name? Doesn't matter. I'm worthless to them anyways. Why was he inferior to the others? Some questions would never have an answer. It feels horrible to be trapped withing these endless halls, wandering the unfamiliar path that I've seen a thousand times. He thought glumly. He could have sworn he just saw a dragon run in front of him, through the door ahead, although there was nothing there. New life... Whispered a voice, far but dragging. So he decided to follow the ghostly figure. Through the door, around the corner, through another door, before he ended up in a wide open area. He hadn't been here much, so he couldn't remember the name of this place. New life whispered the other voice again, stronger this time. He saw a shadow on the floor in front of him, and looked up. Making the shadow was a barrel of some strange acid looking thing. The voice went crazy when he saw it. NEW LIFE NE W LIFE NEW LIFE NEW LIFE! It said, ricocheting and echoing off the walls of his mind. New life... He thought with his own mind this time. New life... NEW LIFE! He started having horrible flashbacks. The way the other dragons in the facility looked down on him, always sneering and spitting in his face, and being awful and mean and horrible and rude all the time. "New life..." Said his mouth freely, in an unbound way. "NEW LIFE!" It said again, as though it was completely unhinged. Enough was enough. He took a step back, before running into the shadow. The barrel dropped, and broke when it hit his back. It was like nothing he'd ever felt before, like all his pain mashed up and frozen together and set on fire and dropped on him from a great height. "YEOWWWWWWWWWW" He called out in pain, sinking to his knees. Then, the acid that had spilled on the floor started marching up his legs, then his arms, then his body then his head. He arose to his feet. He wasn't plain, boring old Hop-bush anymore. He was Unbound.
==== Chapter 1 ====
Chalcis was in the lab again. Of course, she was. She was a scientist, that was her job. She was thankful she wasn't on the defense team, although both jobs could be equally as dangerous. "Alright, subject 350 Limeeyes, ready to enter the chamber" she called out boredly through the speaker. A guard with a spear and another with a bat ushered Limeeyes into the room. The one with the bat must be one of the new guards. I'll remember his name later she thought, bored out of her skull. "Alright" she said, stepping into the room. "Let's get this over with." Limeeyes was looking at the scientist and guards, although Chalcis couldn't read his expression. Limeeyes was a Lemon Shork with unusually green-and-white eyes, and his stripes were more green than usual when compared to the other Lemon Shorks. "Alright" said Chalcis. "We're going the try and get some of the lemon juice from the Lemon Shork, and compare it to regular lemon juice. According to our other studies, the greatest number of pores that secrete the liquid are on the arms and wings, so that it can get into the opponent's eyes." The guard with the spear nodded. The one with the bat left and returned a moment later with one of the test dummies. This one was in severe need of fixing, but that could be done later. She stepped back and let the guard with the spear release Limeeyes from the net he was in, and put him in the pair of shackles on the floor. Chalcis slid the dummy towards Limeeyes. Limeeyes looked startled and grabbed the dummy. Lemon juice was dripped onto the dummy, before the guard with the bat pulled the rope and dragged the dummy back when she gave the nod of approval. "This should be enough, thank you. You may now put the specimen back in the containment unit." Said Chalcis, getting the juice off the dummy. The one with the bat grunted, looking annoyed, but the one with the spear shot him a look, so he put the net back over Limeeyes, and he was dragged out of the room. Chalcis went to go put the substance in the storage room with a sigh. Being a scientist was boring. But what other choice did she have?
==== Chapter 2 ====
"Why me!?" Yelled Seashore, throwing her wings out. "Look, nobody wants to, but we need to do this!" Chalcis hissed back. "Well, I don't want to! Go bother someone else!" Out of all the scientists, Seashore had always thought Chalcis was by far the snottiest most stuck-up piece of soggy kelp covered whale fin ever. "I'm not being the test subject" said Seashore, stomping her foot. "Look" said Chalcis, with her boring superior orange-yellow face. "I'm sorry, but the head scientist says that you have to be the test subject this time. If it was up to me, I would have picked someone less annoying, believe me." Growled Chalcis. Seashore knew that she was 100% not sorry and wouldn't take her glare off the half-witted scientist for the life of her. "No further arguing." Snapped Chalcis coldly. "Take her to the flooded area" she said, flicking her tail. One of the guards on break stepped up to her. "Are you sure it has to be Seashore?" He asked. Oh fishscales, it was Starsnout, her best friend! He couldn't just watch her go like that! Seashore let out a low hiss. "Yes, I'm sure. Don't argue. You know how Scorchmark gets when the experiments aren't done on time. He stepped back, wings hunched, looking at the floor. The guards around her started putting her in a net, binding her to her body, making her conform because what other choice was there? There's every choice she seemed to hear, a whisper in her ear. Take a new life, and you won't ever have to conform again. Looking into Starsnout's eyes one last time, she blurted "Bucket!" He nodded, tears brimming in his eyes, before Chalcis herself snapped a gag over her snout, and she could no longer speak. They dragged her out of the safezone, and towards the flooded area. When they got there, Chalcis violently ripped off the gag, and shoved a lemon into her claws. The violent removal of the gag had left a few bleeding slashes on Seashore's snout. Slowly, Chalcis whispered in her ear. "Looks like I win. Long. Life. Seashore," Before she and the guards hoisted her up, and Chalcis threw her into the water. Seashore sank down and down, all she could see was bubbles and dark blue, the bleeding marks on her snout stinging slightly. Before something snatched her up, and she was not herself anymore.
==== Chapter 3 ====
He didn't know why, but he was on the move. One moment he'd been eating an ice-cream in the cafeteria, the next he'd been on the floor, and the next he was being chased. And he was still running. What am I? He thought, risking a glance behind him. There were only three of the humans chasing him now, eager to whip their bats across his head. He felt something slam into him, knocking him to the ground. One of the humans had a huge scythe, and had managed to whack him with it. He layed the for a moment, before getting up and running again. But he was surrounded now. There was nowhere to run-
Two of the guards were suddenly pulled away. He took this as an opportunity, grabbing on to the remaining one and sinking his claws into the human's neck. After a few seconds, the human dropped away, a strange substance starting to cover their body, before they dropped down, wheezing for air. More blood spilled out their neck, before the wheezing ended. The guard was dead, and he was horrified by what he'd just done. "Well, you did it wrong, but not bad for a first timer!" Came a voice. A green rabbit was standing next to another green rabbit, as well as a shark next to a shark slowly rising to their feet. "What? Who are you? What am I?" He asked. "Oh, I'm Unbound, and you're one of us now" he said.
==== Chapter 4 ====
"You need a name" said Greyfin. Unbound nodded. "Yess...how about Driptail? Softspot? Oh, I know, how about Coldrain?" Said Unbound. The Sprinklekit thought for a moment. "Coldrain sounds good" he said slowly, blinking. "Great!" Said Greyfin. "Welcome, Coldrain. You're one of us now" they said. "Come with us" said Unbound, gesturing to follow him. "You have a lot to learn." "I'll go to the flooded area" said Greyfin. "See if there's any easy infects." Unbound nodded, before walking off with Coldrain. Greyfin walked over to the flooded area, although a bit faster than a usual walk. When they arrived, they saw Limeeyes chatting with another Lemon Shork. "Get an infect, did ya?" They said, walking up to Limeeyes. He shook his head. "No, actually. The humans threw this one in. I saw the whole thing happen." "Oh, cool" said Greyfin. "What's their name?" "I'm Zestspirit" said the new Lemon Shork. "It is thrilling to be a part of this. When do I get to go kill humans? I have a few that I know- that I just want to- slash some face up..." She said, looking down at the water. Limeeyes put a hand on her shoulder reassuringly. "I know I hate humans with a fiery burning passion, but I don't know why" she said. "It's alright" said Greyfin, having already noticed it. "When you become a Gootrax, you basically forget who you were and pretty much everything else. I know it's hard when your memories start dripping away from your brain, but you'll be fine afterwards. "Bucket..." She said slowly. "Bucket! I can't forget that! Don't let me forget that!" Zestspirit blurted. They all fell silent for a moment. "Come on" Limeeyes said, breaking the silence. "You have a lot to learn, and I promise we'll teach you best we can." Said Limeeyes. "Fine. Alright" said Zestspirit. "This way" said Greyfin. "I know someone who would just love you the way you are." "Really?" Said Zestspirit with enough hope to make them hurt a little. "I don't have to be the way anyone wants me to anymore?" "No" said Greyfin with a toothy grin. "In fact, your personality is juuust what we need."
==== Chapter 5 ====
After all this time, Chalcis had finally won. And whilst she would have just walked off there, she was the one who had convinced Scorchmark to let her do the experiment in the first place. So, she observed from the surface, and watched the shark fin stop for a split second when it was in front of where Seashore had fallen, before going under the water, presumably to snatch her up. I hope that shark eats her right off the bat, rather than just infecting her. Chalcis thought bitterly. Were there holes in her soul, eating away at her mind? No, Seashore was the irrational one here. Chalcis walked back to the labs, tail dragging along the floor behind her in more of a menacingly way than sad. Two guards were on schedule, and brought in another test subject. What was this Gootraxian's name again? Eh, didn't matter, they were all inferior anyways. "Scorchmark said to hold off the experiments for now." Said the guard with the bat gruffly. Huh, that was unusual. Normally it was the NightWing with the spear who spoke. But he was looking at the ground, something in his eyes, although his head was too far tilted away for her to read his expression. "What does he want?" Asked Chalcis. "There's a small search going on. Hop-bush, Roadrunner, Lyrebird and Wildside have all gone missing. Scorchmark and Flameburst have ordered to look for Wildside more than anyone. Well that figured. Lyrebird was one of the top scientists, and seen as smarter than the rest (although Chalcis thought this was highly untrue),and well, of course they'd be in a frenzy over Wildside. Wildside was THE strongest dragon in the facility. Every Gootrax that she ran into died, according to everyone else. She was made the top guard, second in command to the two siblings who ran the facility. Scorchmark was the head of scientists and research, and Flameblast was head of guards and defence, although the way they acted you would think vice versa. Althought hadn't Hop-bush been missing for a day or two now? Chalcis didn't know. Wildside was really the only one who would ever talk to him, and also seemed to hold a slight grudge against everyone, although never in front of other dragons. So. One could see why this was bad. Chalcis hissed. "Alright then. They probably just got infected, no big deal, but we'll spend the rest of the day looking for them if that's what Scorchmark wants" she said in her all-time neutral voice. The guard with the spear growled, and it was the one with the bat this time who gave him a look. Chalcis walked out of the lab, wondering what small inconvenience would happen from thid. Bold of me you to assume it would be small. 
==== Chapter 6 ====
Woah. "There is no way this has been here the whole time. So cool!" Said Zestspirit as she walked alongside Greyfin and Limeeyes. "Oh, trust me, just you wait until you meet him" said Greyfin. "We've been in need of someone with as much fire as you ever since he took charge." They spoke. "C'mon, just through this door" said Limeeyes, opening a door. Inside was a desk with a chair behind it. The desk itself was covered in papers, and on the right wall there was a list of all the 'survivors'' as they called themselves, whereas on the left wall was a list of all the Gootraxians. Below each name on both sides was a small drawing of that survivor or Gootraxian. Some of the photos were crossed out in red, whereas one had been violently ripped to shreds and torn off the wall of survivors, the remains of it sitting in ruin on the floor. Sitting at the desk was a green rabbit, with a cat that looked like it was made out of ice cream standing beside his. The rabbit looked up as he heard the door open. "Ah, Limeeyes, Greyfin, good to see you!" He said. "And I see you have a new friend with you? How wonderful! We were just adding Coldrain to the wall. Say Limeeyes, who did you infect this time?" Said the rabbit. "Let Limeeyes and I do all the talking" Greyfin whispered to her. "Not an infect this time, the humans threw her in with a lemon in her claws." "Oh my," Said the rabbit. "Not wanted too? I feel bad for you" he said to Zestspirit. "What's your name?" He asked. "It's- it's Zestspirit, sir" she said nervously. "Ah, welcome, Zestspirit. I'm Unbound, the leader of Gootraxians."
==== Chapter 7 ====
"Why would I have to wear shades inside?" Asked Roadrunner. "Trust me, this experiment s going to use many bright lights" said Farcall. "Well...I guess you're the scientist here" said Roadrunner, putting on the pair of shades. Her eyes feel so much better... Very cool. "Okay, now just stand here" said Farcall. Roadrunner obeyed, because you always listened to scientists, by Scorchmark's order. "Maybe you'll finally know how they feel" said Farcall cruelly. "What?" Said Roadrunner, confused. Suddenly, she felt a strange sensation. She sunk to the ground, and held up her talons so she could look at them, shaking. Sure enough, a grey substance was taking over them. "How could you do this to me?" Said Roadrunner. "And just when I think I was starting to warm up to you!" She said in disbelief. Farcall shrugged. "Scorchmark's orders. You wouldn't have put the shades on if I didn't make you." He said in a bit too much of a casual tone. His voice is so far... letting go... falling down... The Shade stood up, unaware. And leaped at Farcall.
==== Chapter 8 ====
Wildside gripped her bat as she walked towards the gas room to make sure the canisters weren't leaking, or close to leaking again. But as she entered the door just before the gas room entrance, the door opened. Two Gootraxians were standing there, and she felt a slash across her back as another one used it's claws. She whipped around and hit it with a bat. The other two from the gas room lunged towards her. She slammed her talons into their heads pushing down, as she jumped over them, running out to the other room. As she backed up, the door behind her opened and she stepped through it, holding out her bat whilst slowly walking backwards, trying to get some distance. Eventually though, she hit the edge of the broken path. The three Gootraxians suddenly leapt towards her. She slid to the side causing one to fall over the edge. She whacked her bat across the second one, and drew out her knife before sliding under the third and cutting at it's belly. Suddenly, she slammed into something hard. It grabbed her. The edges of Wildside's vision started to go black, but she'd been in a situation like this before, and before long she was able to break out of the grab. She cracked her bat across the attacker's head, and drew out her knife to make cuts to the other ones. However, she'd already been slightly drained of vitality from the grab, and bleeding semi-heavily. She gasped for air. I'm running out of time Wildside thought in panic. I won't go down without a fight through she thought determinedly. She hit them with her bat a couple more times, but eventually the bat cracked and snapped in half, and she was pretty beat up. It was getting harder and harder to breathe. Eventually though, the killing blow was landed to her head. It took all the air out of her lungs, and almost made her fall down. Something is wrong with my hazmat suit... Wildside thought as it started shaking violently. After two seconds, the Hazmat suit ripped, and Wildside fell to the ground, now something completely new.
