A lone figure trapped in a kneeling position is situated on a raised platform. She is the only living form in the room. Her arms are clamped together behind her back. Hydraulic machines pin her down, as a precaution. A light in the ceiling gives just enough light to spotlight her broken form. Smaller lights blip and blink on computers and other machinery lining the sides of the room. A collar of tubes surround her neck. She feels her energy steadily being pulled out of her. Shreds of black material cling to her slender frame. Hair the same shade as her rags falls into her face, hiding the mauled face from the world. She looks asleep, if something could sleep in this torture chamber. She knows all the manners of inducing pain are hiding in the room. They've all been used on her: whips, knives, chemicals, and who knows what else. She suffered through everything, but they did not break her. Cannot break her. If they did, all would be lost. She enjoys the peace before they come back.

The doors open with a sickening thud as the lights brighten to show every detail of the room. She opens her eyes as two figures enter. A pale-face, balding man in a lab coat walks over to a data readout station while the second figure glides up to the captive. She's seen this figure before. A female form dressed in a black suit and red tie. Looks human enough. Except the suited one has no face. A white head-like shape sits atop the body. An Egyptian styled eye centered in the things forehead is what gives this unit its name: Uni. One of the Slenders. Slenders were all like that. No faces. All in suits. Only the Seeker class had the eyes in the forehead. Just for decoration. The captive's platform rises higher till her face is at the same level as Uni's. The prisoner keeps her steady glare. Uni doesn't move. The captive notices the lab coat man waddle up to the Seeker, data pad in hand. She knows what is on it. That's why she keeps her gaze. Letting the Seeker know she's not giving in to them.

"Identify yourself," a digitized female voice orders. The Seeker's voice. Seekers also got voices. Just for show.

The lab coat man moved out of the restrained one's line of sight. She knew what was coming.

"Identify yourself," the voice orders again. Time to go through the motions.

"Warrior Ivy," she gurgles. A trail of blood slips past her lips.

"Repeat," the voice instructs.

"Warrior Ivy!" the captive grunts. "Leaves of three, don't mess with me."

The head turns to one side. The signal. A switch is flicked.

The collar around Ivy's neck glows red as chemicals are pumped into her body. Pain courses through her.

"Warrior Ivy!" she screams as she strains against her bonds. "I am an Eternal Warrior! I am warrior 3 of 4! I am to protect the 4th warrior until her time of summoning! I am to fight the Slenders. I will protect the identity stones of the humans of this world. I will not give into the Seekers. I will not give up who I am!"

She repeats this speech as the Seeker leaves the room. Two more wait outside. Both are male forms in black suits and red tie. One has two human eyes engraved in his forehead while the other has three Oriental eyes in his. Uni makes her way to these two.

"Report," the two-eyed one's voice garbles.

"No change. She still resists our methods," Uni reports.

"She will submit," Dos, the two-eyed one, replies. "Others stronger than her have seen the errors of resistance."

"Resistance is futile," the final member of the trio, Trois, pipes up. "Her stone shall become ours. We need it to see out the other three warriors."

"Agreed," Uni garbles, "our master will not be pleased if the other three warriors are not found. They must be located before they are called to service."

Ivy's scream bounce around the corridor as the three figures disappear to carry out their master's orders.
This is loosely based off the PrettyCure story lines. 4 warriors are summoned to take down the Slenders: beings without identity. Their goal is to destroy the identity stones of every human. Identity stones are what makes humans so unique. No two humans have the same type of stone. If a person was to lose their identity, their stone would become blank. I don't know if I'll do more with this, but it was just an idea I came up with.
Ivy is the third in the line up of four. The others would be Warrior Lily, Warrior Rose, and Warrior Clover.
