Hey guys! Sorry about the fact that I haven't been able to update lately. I've been transitioning into college life so I've been pretty occupied. To tide you lot over until the next chapter, I decided to give you guys a little scene I forgot to include in a previous chapter that will give a bit of an idea as to what's coming up, so here ya go!
(Note: this takes place before Part 8: The Man in Red)

An Empusa skulked about the test chamber, observed by cameras and bulletproof windows on an upper balcony. A large, glowing stone slab was against the far wall, connected by wires to ports into a room below the chamber. Up in the viewing box, a few scientists sat in front of terminals while White Fang guards stood by the entrance. A man with brown hair, dark skin, glasses, and a long white coat stood in a more central position, quickly taking notes.
"Absolutely fascinating! W-we've f-finely m-made progress in this p-p-project!" the man stuttered as he wrote. Behind him Cinder Fall stood with Roman Torchwick.
"Well good for you, Egghead, you got your little pets to leave home," Roman mocked as he lit a cigar.
"Now now, Roman," Cinder chastised him, "No need to be so cynical. Agnus's success with the Hell Gate means we're closer to fulfilling our plan," the woman smiled coldly, "That is, he can provide more spectacular results."
Agnus turned around to the two guests present, "O-of course, I will d-do my b-best, but I'm not sure that the Y-Yamato being in its...c-current state...c-could be h-harnessed t-to summon much m-more powerful d-demons—"
"But I'm sure you'll do it, won't you Agnus?" Cinder walked forward and placed a hand on his shoulder, "You wouldn't want to disappoint our master and mistress now, would you? Especially after all they've given you..."
Agnus shuddered with fear, "O-of course n-not! We will produce stronger s-specimens by the t-time they w-will be r-required!"
"Good. Now, first year students will be leaving in two days for their missions; I need to head back before anyone gets suspicious I trust you and Roman will keep your operations running smoothly?"
"Y-Yes ma'am," Agnus strained a smile at the threat.
"Yeah, yeah, me and the mutts got it covered," Torchwick grunted.
"Good," Cinder smirked and turned to leave, "I'll be in touch."
As the click-clack of her heels faded into the distance, Agnus let out a breath he had been subconsciously holding. Roman simply dropped his cigar on the floor and rubbed it out under his shoe.
"Well, best of luck to you, Bag-O-Stutters," the crook poked Agnus as he left too. Agnus pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration as he turned back to a console in front of him and pressed an intercom button.
"M-move the test subject to t-the holding containers and p-prep for the next s-summoning."

Like I said, sorry for the delays. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. Until then, have a good one!
