The next member was name Diamondback Tex and he is truly what he is named. A rattler in every way, he was also a self proclaimed great scam artist. He always wore a cowboy hat as his trademark and he had a big mouth, much to the dismay of Sasha.

Another member known as Tritops he is what he calls a nice mercenary. He was easily the tallest of the group and also the most powerful. One of his biceps was as big as Sasha's head.

The second to last member was known as JamaicaBase, a chameleon spy. She had an accent that was unknown to Sasha but what Sasha did know about this female was that she was an exotician. A unique breed that existed in Xanaduyne.

Exoticians has been abused since their existence by the demons even more than Sasha's breed, all because of their appearance. Exoticians looked more "human" than any other breed of Xanaduyneians other than Misfits. Over the years, exoticians were bred by the demons to be the ultimate living "sex toys" making them more of a sexual creature than what they once were, the next evolution in our species. They had a strange appearance. They had the features of animals, but possessed no fur from the bottom lip to halfway down the inner thigh. Their manes resembled human hair, and they were very well endowed due to the demon's forceful breeding. Meeting their kind, a person would just think of them as bimbos, but Sasha knew better. She once knew an exotician and she was truely surprised how quite articulate and intelligent this creature was. Sasha respects their kind because after what the demons put them through the exoticians still thrive.

The final member to the group was know as Jazzmin. She was a very skilled bounty hunter. By what Sasha has heard, she seemed to be the best member of the group, A true soldier. Something that Sasha liked. Jazzmin had horns on her head that if seen far away, resembled dreadlocks.

The Guild Leader told Sasha that one of his spies was coming to help guide them to where the two subjects were being held. Sasha and the five soldiers traveled to the demon labs using underground tunnels built centuries ago. The Labs were located in an area that was mere miles away from the most dreaded of places in all of Duyne. It was a place where the Great Demon Army and the Demon Lord himself resided, Castle Demoniac. Fotunately, the targets they were seaching for were kept in a much more accessible and less dangerous place. Nevertheless, Sasha and the others displayed great caution as they infiltrated the building. The plan was simple get in, find them, and then get out without the demons finding out. But of course that's easier said than done.

As the group sneaked in, they took out the guards that were patrolling the halls. Sasha split them up into two teams, one to find the child and the other to find the Xanian. Sasha, with Tex and Komino, went to the lower level for the Xanian. Jazzmin, with JamaicaBase and Tritops, remained on the main floor to search for the child. Using info from one of the guild's spies, Sasha's group forayed into section MK alpha at the far east of the building in search of the lab holding the Xanian. Once they reached the location, Sasha and Komino knocked the guards out quickly and quietly. This gave Tex access to the security digital coded lock of the lab's massive door. It was constructed of one foot thick pure dark ultraium, the most powerful crystalized metal in the Zone System. They knew that if Tex couldn't crack the coded lock, the misson would be lost because there was no way through that door.

"Will you hurry up! We don't have all night!" Sasha hissed at Tex. It seemed to her that he was taking too long trying to open the door.

"Will ya'll just calm yourselves. I'm going as fast as I can do," Tex replied.

"Hm, not fast enough," Komino said under her breath.

Then suddenly beeping can be heard from the lock and the huge door starts to slide open.

"HA! There! Ya see I got it."

"Shhh. Will you shut the hell up and go in." Sasha was not amused they were losing precious time and they knew it. As they entered the lab and looked around, the group was both awed and shocked at the same time. Awed at the great technology shown in the room and displayed on all the walls. It was like they had entered into a whole new place, a cyber jungle. But they were equally shocked by the appeareance of those that were part of this cyber jungle. Victims of those that were captured by the demons were displayed on the walls. All of them surrounded by and attached to the 'alien' technology. The captives looked nearly dead. The only thing keeping them alive was the large machine at the center of the room. Sasha glanced over the line of captives until her eye caught on one more animated than the others. Just as the Guild Leader had said, the Xanian was alive and practically intacted.

Jazzmin's team continued down the halls searching for the entrance to the Main Laboratory facility. This is the place where there was more activity there than anywhere in the whole building. A problem the team must deal with very carefully. Once the entrance was in sight Jazzmin can up with a plan to gain access to the lab with out the demon guards finding out. JamaicaBase morphed herself into a demon droid and walked up to the guard protecting the door. She told them that they were needed at another part of the building. The guards was hesitant at first but began to walk down the hall but as the went around the corner Tritops and Jazzmin knocked them out. The guards didn't know what hit them. Using one of the guards coded card key, the door of the lab slided open and they saw a whole room filled with metal cylinders with monitoring systems attached to them and at the center of this large room was the main computer with a screen that was 50 feet wide.

"Whoa. This is a big place huh?" said JamaicaBase as she looked over the room.

"That it is," replied Jazzmin, "and somewhere in here is what we came here for."

"I only hope we can find him before the demons wise up." Tritops added.

"HA! The demons are too stupid to do so." JamaicaBase said as she started to walk to the center of the room. "Just let them come. We can kick there asses."

Jazzmin and Tritops just looked at each other and just rolled their eyes.

"Yeah right." Jazzmin said under her breath. They then started following JamaicaBase to the super computer.

"JamaicaBase, see if you can access the comp's systems. We need to find the child and the only way we can do that is by getting these metal shields down." Jazzmin ordered.

"No problem girl. Me get them down you'll see."

Jazzmin then turned to Tritops.

"Guard the doors, Tops. Hopefully no one will be coming but if you see someone you know what to do."

"Yep ma'am I do." reassuring her.

"Good." Jazzmin replied.

As Tritops walked back to the door, Jazzmin paces a bit up and down the center isle until she was interrupted.

"Hey all. I thinkin' me got it."

Then suddenly beeping can be heard from each container and the metal shields covering the containers begins to slide down. Jazzmin quickly started to look at each glass container but it was very difficult to do because the only light that each container had was red and lit up behind the subjects. JamaicaBase helped out in the search as well. While looking Jazzmin notice something that caught her eye, a silhouette of an adult male lizard within a container across from her. There was something familiar about this male but she didn't know why but as she got a closer look it finally came to her.

"It's him. I've found him." Jazzmin said loudly.

"Who? Where girl?" JamaicaBase asked.

"Him." Jazzmin said, pointing to the container in front of her.

"Him? But I thought we were lookin' for a child and he don't look like no child ta me girl."

"Listen to me. I am the only one who know what the child looks like and its him." Jazzmin said insistantly. "A little old yes, but its really him."

"Geez." JamaicaBase said as she looked at the male. "What did the demons do ta the poor boy?"

"I don't know but we have to get him out of here now."

JamaicaBase ran to the computer to get the container open as Jazzmin stayed with the "child."

Since everyone attention were on other things no one notice a figure hiding in the shadows, spying on them and getting ready to attack.
