Experimentals

The day after Dr. Goldsmith's last visit, an unfamiliar man wearing what looked like a combat vest with a gun strapped to his back walked into the room. Claus spoke up in a shaky voice.
"W-what? Who are you? What's going on?"
Despite the worry in his voice, the man's expression looked cold, detached and even somewhat annoyed.
"Look kid, I'm just gonna lay this out for you and you're not gonna like it, but try not to get all weepy on me. I'm already pissed off that I gotta take precious time out of my nice and relaxing workday to...let's say, take out the trash."
Claus started breathing heavily as the man undid his restrains on his wrists and feet, only to put him in new restraints on his that weren't attached to the bed. He then dragged Claus out of the bed and started pushing him towards the door, which Claus obviously resisted.
"I don't understand! What's happening to me?! Where's Dr. Goldsmith?!"
The man simply laughed.
"Oh, you mean the guy who literally signed your death warrant? You won't be seeing him again, I'm afraid."
Claus' ragged breathing soon stopped, and he composed himself unusually quickly.
"I see. Well...I knew that it would come to this at some point."

 

The smell of burnt flesh reaches my nose no sooner than the solider's body hitting the floor. I am taken aback by it and nearly throw up.
"Get it together Brandon, it was either him....... or you" I try to calm my self and justify the act i just committed. After calming my self i grab his gun off of the floor and carry it with me. "I'm not sure i can do that twice so i better have this as a backup" Continuing through this maze of a building I come across a rather large room different than the rest, i cautiously enter as the sirens continue sounding off.

I enter the large room and find it to be an office of sorts. I walk to a desk that has the name plate "Dr. Edward Richard Toufin" and a portrait of the man who preformed that operation on me. I look around trying to find the doctor as i have quite a few questions to ask him, but what i find is something as valuable as the doctor and also just a mysterious, a medical file with a young male's picture. My Picture...... Subject 235, Gama Project Name: Brandon Gender: Male.... the file held all my personal data and medical records. At the bottom of the file was a section on powers; it read: No powers subject to be terminated. No powers? huh seems you got something wrong doc, wait no i remember now
"Gama subject 235 has shown no signs of acceptance, i believe he is another failure doctor"
"Very well, Log the results of this subject while we move on to the next, Once we are done with the next experiment i will dispose of this failure"
"Understood Doctor"
Yes i was or so they though, hmmmmmm if this is my file i wonder if there are the other subjects files around. I Frantically searched the office ignoring the sirens going off and the danger making it's way in search of me. "I've got to find information, i can't continue in the dark like this" Then i find a rather large file label Gama Project. Upon opening it, the file revealed a log of 234 test subjects. I flipped through the files and was amazed at the noted powers: breathing fire, layer of superheated air around the body, waves of fire.... list went on and on all seemingly connected to a tree the doctor called [pyro-kinetic branch]. As i continued read i made a rather grave discovery all previous subjects were either terminated, kill in second round of experiments or burnt up by their own power. As i read the end of the file i see the latest test subject's papers. They had just the basic information but also held one piece of crusel information for myself, their room number. After realizing that i had spent a long time in a single area i quickly grabbed all the files and head to the room, If i was right Dr Edward would be there now.

In subjects 236's room Doctor Edward continues his experiments. The current subject is on fire and screaming, that man just watches. I wait just outside to confront the doctor. Before i enter I check hallway one more time for soldiers
"Test result on subject 236 so acceptance, however is seems that contact with oxygen ignites his skin"
"I see, and by the sounds of his screams he isn't immune to being burnt, ah well Log this and we shall call it quits for the day"
"Yes Doct-"
*SLAM* I threw open the door to the room, causing the nurse to scream. I bring up my hand, trying concentrate so i could recreate the fireball i made {burn} it appears in my hands. I reach for my rifle as well, not telling if i can keep this fireball's form or not
"Very impressive subject 235, oh forgive me. Brandon wasn't it?"
"Quite Doc, I want answers Now"
"Answers to what?"
"What did you do to me, Why am i here, Where the hell am I?"
the Doctor put on a smug smile "What did i do to you? Nothing, Nothing at all the machines are what did this too you. As for why you are here i believe you could answer that for your self. Finally my dear boy do you not know what a operating room looks like?"
Doctor Edward answers are sarcastic ones that only prove to anger me. I fire the fireball past his head and easily melt the solid steel equipment behind him.
"Answers Dr. Edward"
"Ah i see you know my name, tell me can you do take again"
"D-d-d-doc-oc-octor p-please stop provoking it"
"Quite nurse, can't you see the subject and i are conversing?"
"Do i really need to do it again?" I ask as i raise the rifle towards him
"My death will mean nothing, they will just replace me with some else, you'll have no answers, and the experiments will continue on. Now tell me can you do it again"
Anger at his question a raise my hand and a fireball twice the size appears. I become amazed as i didn't even have to concentrate this time, Doctor Edward then puts on a smile
"Ah it was not a one time, nurse please take note of this seems subject 235 is not a failure after all. Now my boy let's talk a bit"
"I already asked you for answers so start!"
"Let's see what we did to you, as you can obviously tell we gave you powers. Pyro-kenesis to be precise but I'm sure you already figured that out via the fireballs. Why are you here, well seems you angered the wrong person but had the right genes it seem otherwise you would be die right about now. As for were you are, lets call it a research facility located out in the middle of nowhere"
"Right genes what do you mean by that?"
"Come now boy haven't you noticed it yet? all the Gama subjects including your self share one common feature....."
I stare at the other subject and recall all the photo of the other subjects we all had.... "Redhair?"
"Correct! We have found a particular part of that gene to contain great potential for our experiments thus we use only those with red-hair. However out of all the experiments never have we had a subject who's eyes altered. Your eyes appear to have a fire in them, and don't be mistaken i mean that quite literally "
"Hold on, what do you mean potential for what? And my eyes haven't changes so what are you taking about"
"I would like to continue this talk but it seems our time is up"

As those words reached my ear, several soldiers entering the room behind me. The reason the doctor had not answered me right away, the reason he acted so confident wasn't because he was not afraid, he was buying time. the longer his explanations took the more time they had to track me down.I was too focused on getting Information out of him rather than my own safety. He had gambled that i wouldn't notice them before it was too late and won. (author note: Not done just stopping else this will end up a book session)

 

Name: Jericho
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Experimental change: Ability
Backstory: Former police officer, but the experiments messed with his head and he now see's and hears things.
Special abilities: Metal manipulation

I'll post my intro post soon. I just wanted to finally make my character.

 

I awoke to find myself strapped down to an iron table. The room I was in was cold and dark and smelled strongly of blood and other things. My head was throbbing and I couldn't feel my right arm. My memory was a little fuzzy too. Last I remember I was told to go investigate an underground drug ring and the next thing I know I wake up in here. I turn my head to get a better look at my surroundings, but the room is too dark to really see anything. With nothing better to do I close my eyes and try to go back to sleep thinking that when I wake up again, I might be back home.
"How are you doing, Jericho?"
My eyes shoot open as I hear a young girls voice talking to me, though when I look around the room, I don't see anybody.
"What are you doing?" The voice asked me.
"Where are you?"
"I'm siting a distance behind you."
Well that explains why I couldn't see her. I asked her if she knew why I was here and what was going on.
"You were chosen to a part of a secret government project and given some kind of ability. Yours is metal manipulation. Quite handy if I say so."
I laughed at her words. This sounds like a bad sci fi novel. How stupid does she think I am anyway?
"I see you don't believe me. Well then it might be best if you see it for yourself. One of the doctors here is coming in to run more tests on you. He broke his arm something awful a few months back and had to have a metal rod put in to keep the bone in place. Think about ripping that rod out and kill him. It's your only escape out of this room."
This woman is crazy. I should have just ignore her, but she was right. A doctor did open the door to my room and walked in. He seemed shocked to see me awake and walked over to me, checking my vitals and doing a blood test. The woman I was talking to walked behind the man and I was able to get a decent look at her. She was young, about 25 maybe and had black hair. The shirt she was wearing was a dark red with long sleeves. She sat down at the foot of the table I was lying on, but the strange thing was was that the doctor never noticed her. No matter how many times he looked over at her, it was like he didn't see her. The doctor walked over to the other cabinet and took out another needle with some strange looking liquid in it. Everything in my body was telling me that I didn't want any of that inside me.
"If your going to escape, now is your chance Jericho."
The doctor wasn't able to hear her either it seemed, as he turned around and began walking over. Putting his hand on my arm and began to do what the woman told me to do. I visualized the metal rod in his arm being ripped out. The man dropped the needle he was holding and began to scream, as I began to see something trying to escape from his arm. Sure enough a metal rod was ripped out, tearing his arm up to a ghastly shape. Taking this moment and using my new found powers, I broke my metal bindings and grabbed the rod and needle off the floor. I plunged the needle into the doctors neck and injecting the strange medicine into him, before beating him with the metal rod. I'm not sure exactly why I didn't just beat him to death but oh well. The woman watched on smiling as I killed this man. I looked through his belongs and found that he had a key on him and took it, walking over to the door.
"You coming with me?" I asked the woman behind me.
"Of course."
After she said that I opened the door.

 

"Oh you silly person, these doctors are lying, they're using you for their own experiments, I on the other-hand knew what they were planning to do and thus agreed so I could gain myself some sort of power, also to answer your previ-" He stumbled forward, dropping the knife after just having cut the bonds.

"Argh this hurts every time, at least we're getting used to it. Oh, where'd he stop, right, to answer your previous question, our DNA was bonded together." She smiled, a pure, innocent smile that would only be seen on babies, the laugh of life and having no problems in the world.

 

Name: Koneko Miyazuki
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Experimental change: Morph & Ability
Backstory: Koneko was a far from an ordinary girl in any sense; she hated social situations and would do whatever she could to avoid them, even skipping out of school completely so much so that she had not set foot in a classroom for over two years. It didn't matter to her though she was far ahead of anyone her age, capable of solving mathematical problems at a degree level, knowing all of the popular poems, books and works of literature that one could think of. She was an eager learner of the sciences which were further aided by her computer skills as she would sneak behind the security of top secret organisations to learn of what scientific experiments were being worked away from public eye. Perhaps she got sloppy, overconfident or just wanted to find out what would happen, but she let down her guard and was back tracked by one particular agency. She had found out their secrets and they were not happy. It was early in the morning when they raided her house, killing both her parents and her baby sister whilst they slept. Blood painted the walls of the house as she stumbled through the hallway in a half-dazed fashion, searching for the answers of what was happening. The last thing he felt was a smack against the back of her head and the cold hard sensation of the wood floor before finally waking up in an unknown place.
Special abilities: She has the ears and tails of a cat and her nails have become dangerously sharp and slightly pointed. She can channel atoms through her body at an accelerated pace allowing her to turn her body into pure lightning or channel the atoms into a void of nothingness, creating highly contained antimatter at the cost of her own life span. She can also use this method for healing herself but at a much higher price on her life.
Strengths: Is nimble and can avoid many blows. She has the ability to maneuver well in close range combat and deliver critical slashes to her targets whilst also having the ability to attack from range at the cost of her own life span.
Weaknesses: Despite her abilities she is delicate and takes few hits to deal devastating damage to her light frame. She can be hot-headed at times whilst completely devoid of social ability during others. She is not quick to trust people and will fight them when she thinks they are wrong. Her own confidence in her abilities can lead to close calls during combat.

Darkness... It is wet and warm. Is this what it is like to be born? No, this is different. The warm feeling isn't comforting and their is no sign of a heartbeat outside of her own. Her entire body begs for the feeling of cool air against it, anything to part herself from the sickening mechanical whirring and buzzing around her. No matter how muffled whatever liquid keeps her contained makes it, her entire being just wants release. To be free of all ties and feel the world outside for even the briefest of moments. She wants to cry out but can't, a part of her is afraid of drowning should she open her mouth yet she still appears able to breathe. What is she in? Is there something aiding her breathing?

Her eyes slowly begin to part, revealing a blurred and green tinted scene in front of her. She is looking into a bright light with what appears to be several figures watching her. The eyes on her body as she freely floats, suspending in some sort of liquid ooze has made her so very conscious of her nakedness. Every fiber of her body wants to just wrap her arms around her and scream out at the world, but that sense of 'what if' won't let her. Tears would fall from her eyes if she wasn't so dazed. Her focus still trying to force a clear image of what is in front of her.

Long black hair freely flows upwards with the green liquid ooze in her glass tank, various wires and tubes connected to her arms and back. She looks frail and weak in her currents state, simply floating with no power. Once shining green eyes now stare bleakly into the unclear water, longing for a clue of where she is. Her pale skin looks deathly in her current state, even her lips turning a paler pink than usual. Koneko's small chest is barely affected by the loss of weight as are her arms and legs. Her head is stopped from reaching the tanks top by a small shackle like wire wrapped in a noose around her left ankle.

Bubbles drift upwards in the tank as she finally forces out words, only to have them fade into muffled nonsense in the water. Her worst fear comes true as the liquid ooze instantly begins to wash into her throat, sending fiery pain as the chemical cocktail burns her throat and lungs. Loud noises resembling yelling begins to echo throughout the room as a loud gurgling noise sounds out, Koneko's weightlessness suddenly fading as the tank is drained. Her eyes get a momentary glimpse of the world outside before blurring once more and fading. Darkness... Dry and cold.

 

The lights in Leah's room suddenly flickered, like something was very wrong.
Suddenly, the scent of blood filled their noses, as well as the stench of pain, a sour rotten smell that made the eyes water and the back of the throat become dry.
The sound of light, deliberate footsteps could be heard, but they were uneven - like someone was on all fours, struggling to rise.
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly tore through the air. "PLEASE!! NO, PLEASE, LET ME LIVE, LET ME LIVE, LET ME - NOOOOO-!"

Then silence.

Then the noise started again. Footsteps. Getting closer.
Tap. Tap. Tap.

 

The soldiers fire on me. I turn around and launch the fire ball i had to try and clear them out. A sharp pain slows my movements, another, and another. I've been shot several times. I try to find cover as the soldiers re-group after the fireball i launched at them. Cornered and bleeding i try to see how many of them are there. 1..2..3..5..7 7 in the room and i can only guess how many are in the halls waiting. The soldiers continue to fire at me even while I'm behind the steel table i was using as cover. They are moving closer which each burst of fire, soon there will be no escape. Trapped like a wild beast i act just as such. I jump from out the table and release a flash of light
*FLASH*
"AGh I'm blind"
"Urgh bastard"
"Agh i can't see, units conti-UUGH" Before squad-leader can finish a Fireball obliterates this torso
*FLASH, FWOOSH*
"AHHHHHHHahAHAHAAGHHHHHH"
*FLASH FWOOSH*
*FLASH FWOOSH*
I send volley after volley at the troops killing them one by one while ensuring they can't fire back. before a minute has past the seven are reduces to burning corpses I Continue firing at the door to prevent any more from coming in the room.
"Okay doc time from me to take a gamble" after firing one more fireball at the door i rush to the closest wall. With a fireball in hand i jump into the wall; I pass right through it into the hallway. It worked, I gambled the wall wasn't thick enough to withstand this much heat and i was right. The wall of the room i was just in glowed a bright orange, the fireball had heated the melt of it to the point of it becoming soft. Just like with my cuffs i was able to pass through it without being burn. My gamble would be short lived however as the soldiers soon realized i was just out in the hall way. Firing back at them i ran to try and find a place to hide

After taking several turns and frying a few more patrols i finally caught a window of safe time. I finally stop to look at my self. My left side is dyed crimson, blood, my blood, dyed my shirt. After actually looking at myself i realize I've lost a lot of blood. I put pressure on the wound but it still won't stop. If i don't stop this soon I'll bleed out, think how do i stop this! It came to me. Burn, burn the holes closed, or at least burn the blood to make a coagulated seal. I press my hand onto the bullet hole in my side, it begins to heat up and i feel a slight heat from it. After words the sharp pain from in greatly decreased. I repeated the process till the holes were burnt. After taking a count i was only shot 3 times, once in the side and twice in arm; considering there where 7 soldiers with automatic rifles it certainly could have been worse. Heading down a hall way i decide it is best if i leave this wing of the facility. I see a large double door with no labeling to it. I walk through the doors with caution. What i find behind them is a group of doctors and nurses causally talking. Surprisingly i no longer hear the sirens after crossing over the doors. A nurse is the 1st to notice me
"AH"
"what is it nurs-UUhuhAhAH!"
The Doctors an nurses flee on the sight of me. My guess is they never expect one of the subjects to get loose let alone appear in front of them. The area empty i half-expect the sirens to song again and have a repeat of what i just came from, but i hear something from a room just down the way.
"PLEASE!! NO, PLEASE, LET ME LIVE, LET ME LIVE, LET ME - NOOOOO-!" a scream, a scream for ones life, a bloodcurdling scream. I head that way to investigate what's going on.

I what i found was a man, no something in the shape of a man. He didn't look like any soldier nor did he look like a doctor, in fact you could more say he looked like a patient, a patient..... an experiment subject. I take a look at him an see in his eyes a bad sign, a look of wildness, a look of a hunter. Looking behind him i see the bodies of two young women. They appear to have various bite marks and scratches covering them, i was unsure if they where breathing or not. They didn't look like nurses and judging from the lack of formal wear they weren't doctors either. They were experiments also. Then the man growled, he growled like a wolf ready for the hunt, he growled as if to alert his prey he has them and is ready. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know that the man had found his next prey, that prey was me.

He lunged forward at freighting speed aim to bite my neck. I didn't dodge, i didn't accept death, i merely had been doing the same thing I had been doing. I launched a fireball directly at it with the intent to kill it to ensure my safety. The fireball struck him directly in the side mid-air removing his right side while catching the surrounding flesh on fire. He felt from the air with a thud leading back father than he was when he lunged at me. I then start to walk over toward the two girls, but a sound stops me, a growl. I look over and to my amazement the man is still alive, to be more precise he is healing.
"Shit Regeneration?!?" i yell out.
The man only growled deeper, as if to say now it's his turn. He springs forward tackling me while scratching and biting me where ever he can. He goes for the neck. Shit got to do something! My arms have been pined by the man, the only free limbs are my legs.......and my head! As he comes down ready to bite into my neck i slam my own head directly into his. He doubles back in pain, leting me free one of my arms
*FLASH*
"ARUW"
The man lets out a whimper of pain, I blinded him with the flash of light. Letting all my strength into my free arm i send my fist directly into his face, sending he off of me. I spring up ready to finish this; readying a fireball i aim at his head.
*FWOOSH*
It hits him and his head is no longer there. But........ his body it doesn't fall over..... it merely gets up. The man's face starts to reform as if nothing happened, he flashes his teeth as if to say this fight has only just begun.

Realizing Just one or two fireballs isn't going to kill him i leave the room with the two girls in it. If they are alive me and that thing fighting in there would only prove to slim the chances of that. I make it to what seems like the main hall of this section, the man following after me by running on all fours. He is incredibly fast when on all four, making it harder for me to hit him. Several of my fireballs miss him. He manages to take a bit of my arm and throw me off balance by dragging by my arm. I blast with my other to free my self. As he runs away to quickly regenerate and try to get another Guerrilla attacks i notice something. His body still burns despite the regeneration, meaning if i burn faster than he can make i can end this! I move from the defensive to the offensive scoring multiple hits but still no effect. Every time he would catch fire, he would immediately try to put it out by rolling on the ground. Damnit, he keeps putting them out, out.... out that's it!!!! If i can't burn him from the outside i'll cook his insides. With this plan i decide not to move, i stand in the open waiting for the man. He jumps at me from behind.
*FWOOSH*
I shoot behind me, and it goes directly into his mouth.
"ARUW--UGRH"
As he yelps, i grab him and i shove my hand into his mouth
*FWOOSH**FWOOSH**FWOOSH**FWOOSH**FWOOSH*
I fire and fire into the man mouth hoping to light up his insides. He staggers back as if in pain and his movements have been slowed to a crawl. Seems it's taking all he has to regenerate whats burning inside. It looks like it's working. I start to feel weak, i start leaning against the table, my vision is getting fuzzy.
"Shit........ i was afraid of this........... there is a limit...... to...... the shots*cough* i can make..."
The man then does something i didn't count on. he tears at his own sides trying to put the fire out inside of him. It worked, he slowly got up growling and gnashing his teeth. He jumped at me.
"Shit.... need something!" I close my eyes and extend my hand hoping one more fireball is sent out.

After about 5 seconds i opened my eyes. I was amazed to find i could actually open my eyes. i look to see where the man went, to my surprise he was standing up right but frozen in place, but in front of him was, a transparent purple version of him self attached to his body and some purple strings. I follow the strings and they lead to my hand..... what the hell? the transparent version is just as confused and is trying to pull away from the string, but as he pulls my arm moves with him. I yank my arm back by reflex and to both of our surprises the transparent version is being pulled from the actual body. Confused he desperately tries to pull back into his body, but with every pull he make my arm is yanked towards him. I pull back and again his starting to be pulled away from his body. Pulling and tugging i am yanking he more and more from his body, i wonder what would happen if i pulled it completely out? I pull with all i have trying to make this happen. Confused and now afraid of what is going on he naws at his limbs, like a animal trying to free it's self from a trap a hunter set. Suddenly i feel as if all the weight that was there is gone, i look to see that the transparent version had indeed gotten ride of his arms. with the strings attached to his arms the flew towards me, then into me. A flood of energy flows over me, it was as if i got a recharge from absorbing parts of this transparent version. As this is going on the man re-enters his body. When it finally does he collapses to the ground, and is not moving.

I walk over weary of this being a trick to let my guard down. He really isn't moving, but i can't tell if he's dead. As a precaution i ready a fireball and blast his limbs off, this time they don't regenerate.
"Finally. you took all that fire power and even this new thing, which even i didn't know what the hell it was, to down you! And what was that i wonder?"
After saying that to the body of the man i check my self, seems the fatigue and lack of energy i felt is gone. Seems I'm back to fighting sepects again. I decide to go back and check to see if those two girls are alive. As i make my way back i hear a familiar sound
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNN BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNN BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNN*
"WARNING Several experiments have escaped containment and are on the lose. Two of which are considered extremely dangerous. I repeat Several experiments have escaped containment, Two of them are very dangerous. Find safety as soon as you can troops will be in the area shortly" a female voice read this.

"Well time for round two, i guess" i say as i head toward the room i saw the two girls

 

He felt...strange.
He had never felt strange before. At least, he had never remembered it. This strange feeling was... well... strange.
The fiery man had done something to him. It had hurt. Pain was something that he wasn't used to either. So many new feelings... then his eyes flew open as he realized that he could realize things now. That man had done something inside him and now he could...think.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hatsuda was amused, as he watched the pair fight. He was very impressed with Project Loop's performance, but he had to give credit to the red-headed experiment as well. He had actually managed to stop Project Loop in it's tracks. However, there was a problem. Project Loop was not responding the way he had been during the last sessions.
He leaned in, scrutinizing the security monitor.
What changed? What happened?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

He rolled over, got back onto all fours, his body the same as it had been the day they'd changed him. Every trace of the fight had vanished.
He heard noises, got their scents. He padded after them once more, creeping on all fours, but his hunger for once was not dominating his mind. He was no longer ravenously roaming the hallways. Now he had only one focus - to satisfy his curiosity.
And these creatures - the two females and the strong male - would serve as ample interest. For now.
He lolloped towards the room, interested in seeing how they communicated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hatsuda stared in amazement.
Higher cognitive functions?! Impossible!!
His finger hovered over the large red button marked "PURGE". He should click it. This was starting to go out of control.
But he did not, and instead closely watched, wryly observing the irony in the sense that both experiment and supervisor were bound by their curiosity.

 

Claus walked away from the door, huddling up in a corner. The guard's very small amount of patience had now worn out and he spoke in a very irritated tone.
"Kid, don't make this any harder than it has to be! Why don't you be a man and accept your fate or something?"
He never even noticed the smirk on Claus' face as he slowly started to transform the restraints on his wrists into a pair of crude, but effective pair of spiked knuckles. The guard had no way of knowing that he was capable of this, as he had been "understating his power" in his own words for quite some time. Claus spoke in a soft, calm voice that was almost a whisper.
"Accept my fate, huh? Well, that does sound quite noble. But who said that I was such a noble person?"
The guard placed his hand on Claus' shoulder.
"What're you mumbling about over there--"
Those were the last words out of the guard's mouth before Claus turned around and stabbed him in the throat. The smirk on Claus' face turned into a cold smile as he watched the man slump down to the floor. Not wanting to waste any time, he dug around in the man's pockets looking for anything useful and pulled out a keycard.
"Ah, this should make it easier to get around."
He also took the assault rifle on the man's back, along with his extra clips of ammo. He smiled bitterly as he carefully inspected the gun.
"A customized AR-15...you give your guards something as nice as this and yet you can't even afford to give your "guests" a decent meal. I should have expected as much.
He left the room and looked around the hall, trying to decide which way to go. Since he had no idea what the layout of this facility was, he picked a door at random a little ways down the hall and entered. Two scientists sat inside of the room minding their own business until they heard Claus cock his gun. When they turned around and saw Claus aiming right at them, they started to panic. One of them gathered up the courage to speak.
"What? Who are you?! What do you want?!"
Claus smiled back at them.
"Well, that's quite simple. If you could direct me to the security office then I would be more than happy to leave you two in peace."
The other scientist spoke up, pointing to a map of the area.
"B-but, wouldn't you rather just leave the facility? You could probably get out here without anyone getting in your way--"
"I don't recall mentioning that I wanted to leave quite yet. So, as I was saying, you will direct me to the security office. Now."
The first scientist chuckled, trying to hide how frightened he was.
"Come on, can't we talk about this? I realize you're probably quite upset about our little experiment, but you have to understand that we meant you no--"
He was also interrupted, but this time by a bullet from Claus' gun going right through his skull.
"I really hate it when people waste my time..."
As Claus muttered this under his breath, the other scientist fell to the floor and covered his head.
"NO! This isn't happening, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!"
Claus approached the man and leaned over him.
"I will only say this one more time. Security room."
The man slowly got to his feet.
"Yes, of course! It's right over..."
He pointed out a few landmarks on the map. When Claus felt that he understood the layout well enough, he started to walk toward the door but soon turned back.
"Oh, just one more thing. You weren't about to alert security to my presence, were you?"
The scientist reeled in shock.
"N-no, of course not! I wouldn't even think about it!"
"Really? I find that unlikely. You see, I can't help but notice that twitchy little finger of yours that seems to be heading towards an alarm switch that you've been not-so-subtly pretending not to look at. Am I right?"
The man gasped in horror.
"I was...I mean, I wasn't...you see..."
Before he could say any more, Claus took aim and shot the scientist in the head.
"I hate it when people waste my time...but lying to me? Well, that is truly unforgivable."
He casually walked out of the room and made his way to the security room, gunning down anyone who was unfortunate or stupid enough to be wandering the halls.

 

Light... Bright but cold. An icy chill washes over Koneko, her body shivering each time the breeze strikes her. Fresh air? No. A small fan can be heard whirring in the back of the room. The scene around her is blurry still but the sensation of drown is gone. Her view is no longer obstructed by the green tint of the glass prison. An almost unfamiliar sensation drips down her back. Blood. The wires and tubes have been removed leaving small trails of blood dripping from where they once were. A voice was speaking, but she couldn't make it out. The voice was fuzzy as if obstructed by static. A loud noise suddenly rung out as she felt as strange jab in her side. Her head turned to the source and her vision finally cleared.
In front of her was a tall man with short brown hair. Her wore a white lab coat decorated by what looked like the drawing of a child. Next to where he stood was a long surface, complete with sink and various apparatus for conducting chemistry experiments. Apart from the various coloured vials held in test tube racks, one thing stood out to Koneko; a picture. The dark olive frame held a picture of the man before her accompanied by a young woman and two children. They look happy. The man interrupts her tail of thought as he begins to talk again but she can't understand him. It still sounded fuzzy but that wasn't it. Was it another language? It wasn't one she recognized if it was. Her attention begins to shift around the room again. To her left is a metal door with white walls either side of it. behind her was several shelves and cupboards, an open one showing more scientific equipment. Behind her was a large metal base with a green glass tube that reached to the ceiling where several wires and pipes ran back down to the ground. That was where she had just been in.

"What about now?".

The voice of the man suddenly became apparent to her. It was gently and kind but showed some signs of impatience. Her gaze turned back to focus on him as she opened her mouth to reply but paused, several thoughts racing through her head. It took her some time before she finally chose the words to reply with.

"Where am I?" Koneko asked blankly.

The man seemed slightly surprised as the answer and smiled warmly, [Ah! Good so you understand English then." He pauses, "Your in a safe place now. Those men outside can't hurt you anymore.]

She blinks with uncertainty, her head tilted as she feels an odd twitching on her head... A phantom feeling? Perhaps.

"Men outside?", She asks as coldly as before.

The man nods, his smile fading into a slight scowl, "Yes. They bought you here rather beat up and bruised... must of been, um... Two years ago? I have worked quite hard to keep you healthy."

Koneko feels her mouth fall open wide, her words slightly stammered as she speaks, "T-two years?! What do you mean? I was at home just...".

She froze on the spot and blinked several times, a panicked expression appearing on her face, "Home... My... my family. They were...".

The man nods, "Unfortunately the men outside did quite the number on them to get to you", he pauses for a moment, "You really did turn out to quite the specimen though..."

She tries to ask all her questions at once but only ends up talking pure gibberish, her hands slowly raising to grasp her head. She opens her mouth to scream but is stopped at a strange sensation, "Wh-What is on my head?"

The man retrieves a mirror from his pocket and gives it a quick blast of his breath before wiping it with a slightly dirty sleeve. He turns the mirror to her revealing two small black cat ears sitting atop Koneko's head. The mirror then shifts slightly before she can react showing a long black tail sticking out from behinds her. Koneko can no longer think of the words to use. She falls to her knees, hands still on her head as she unleashes a high pitch scream. The man instantly reacts by taking a step back.

"Now... Now... No need to be upsets. We gave you quite the upgrade!", He speaks as positively as he can but is clearly hiding some form of worry, "You see, due to your special... case, yeah, that is it. We were able to carry out a few experiments over the last two years granting you a few amazing new feats!". The man appears to pause for a short time before speaking again, "Whilst the cat features were not necessary... Due to your name we just couldn't res-"

The man never got to finish his last words before a heightened fight or flight response kicked in, sending her launching at the man. She tackles him to the ground and straddles his chest, one hand diving for his neck and grasping it tightly whilst the other raises above him in the air, her sharpened nails aimed at the man beneath her. The sense of nakedness, the feeling of blood on her back.... it was all gone now. All that she could think of was to fight or flee and right now her brain was telling her to fight. It took only a moment for her hand to strike at the man's neck, sending blood spewing onto her bare stomach, chest and face. She stood up and looked at the door, her body now telling her to flee the room. She ran for the door and tried the handle but found it was locked. Running back to the man she looked for a key but couldn't find one. She ransacked the cupboards and shelves... Even tore apart the family picture for any small chance at a way out. Her gaze turned back to the door as she became desperate, running at it and trying to smash it down. The door was several inches of thick steel, but that didn't matter to her; She only had to escape. Each failed attempts was followed by another, loud banging noises ringing out into the hall outside.

 

Heading out the door I was able to hear the sound of gun fire. Seems all hell has broken loose here I thought as I hugged the wall trying to stay out of sight. The woman who was with me followed behind not saying a word. This woman was strange. How did she know that I was able to use this power and what my name was? Was she working with the people who are keeping me here? I shoved the thought aside since the doctor didn't seem to notice her, plus I don't think she'd have told me to kill the guy if she was. I was about to ask her who she was when a couple of armed men ran up to me and told me to stop where I was and go back to my room.
"They're guns are useless on someone like you. Show them that they made a mistake in giving you this power." The woman told me. She's right though. Unless they don't now what kind of power they gave me they're metal guns are useless. Extending my hands out, I pulled the guns from them using my powers and grabbed hold of them. The two man looked at me baffled and began to charge me. Bunch of rookies. Since these idiots were so willing to run to they're death I unloaded a spray of bullets into them. They lasted as long as you'd think. Knowing that the gun fire might alert any other guards to me and fled the scene.
"Where are you off to next?" The woman asked me.
"You seem to know this place better then I do so you tell me."
"Well you want to get free don't you? The security room should have the keys to this building."
Hmm good point. I began to make my way to the security room with her guiding me, but when I got halfway there I noticed a ghastly sight. Bodies littered the hallway and there was blood splattered everywhere. Before I could get a better look at the scene though I heard the sound of one of the doors opening. Taking cover behind the wall trying not to be seen, I noticed a man cover in blood walk out of the room, smiling. The look on his face sent a shiver down my spine as I watched him slowly walk down the hallway. Maybe it was my police training, but I wasn't about to let him stop there. I loaded my gun with the remaining bullets from the other riffle and got out from cover and pointed the riffle at the mans back.
"Freeze! Put your hands where I can see them!"

OOT: Your move DM

 

OOT: Oh...didn't notice the new post at first. Well, I guess I have to re-write everything now. Boo.

Hearing someone call out to him, Claus drops his weapon and turns around.
"Well, well...you seem to have caught me at a bad time. You see, I was in the middle of planning my next move when you so rudely interrupted me."
Although he was quite annoyed, he never lost the smile on his face.
"You're not one of them, are you? For one thing, they tried to be quieter than you...and they would have shot me without a second thought, unlike you. If I had to guess, you're a fellow escapee just like myself. No doubt they performed all kinds of twisted experiments and gave you some kind of supernatural ability, just like me. Am I right so far?"
He pointed to the gun in the man's hands.
"You're pointing that in the wrong direction, you know. The two of us should be working together...don't you think? I was just about to get to the bottom of this because I want the exact same thing you want. Freedom. And...perhaps a few other things along the way, but we can sort out those details when he have a better grasp of where we are."
He extended his hand for a handshake.
"My name is Claus. What should I call you?"

 

He's being overly friendly I thought as Claus extended his hand to me. I've dealt with people like him before, calm one second but as soon as you go to shake your hand they'll kill you. To make it even worse he told me that he's just like me. I don't know what kind of powers he has that I'm dealing with. Damn it. If I help him he'll attack, if I run he'll attack. I screwed up it seems. Taking a deep breath I went with my gut, which was telling me not to trust him. I was able to pull the trigger when the woman behind me gave me an idea.
"You could try lying to him. Make him think you are on his side. Use him to get your freedom, then when everything is said and done, shoot him in the back."
It was a good idea, but it was also risky. I decided to listen to her advice though and I lowered my gun, keeping my finger on the trigger just to be safe.
"I'm former officer Frank Miller." I lied and shook his hand. "Sorry about the gun. I woke up and heard gun fire and when I saw you walking out of that room... well you can connect the dots."

 

Sandra looked at the other girl, noticing her pain. She leapt towards the door in and attempt to shut it, piling anything loose in the room on the backside of the door. She giggled.
Soon after, she could hear people running towards them. She took a quick seat on the floor, her bodying changing to that of Logan.

"Hey, I think we may have this working." Logan stood up, pushing himself against the barricaded objects. He returned his gaze to the girl, hearing the guards even closer now. "We need a way out, soon."

 

The guards reached the door.
Two slams as they tried to break it down. The sound of a gun being cocked.
Then, "Hey! You, red-head! Freeze! Hands in the..."
"Grrrr..."
"What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING THING?!"
"GGGREEEAAAAGH! RRAAAAAGH!!"

BLAM! BLAM BLAM BLAM!
Shreck.
"Gllggh..." More blams. The stench of blood seeped under the door. More terrible ripping sounds, more awful gasps and stifled screams of the dying.
This went on for about two minutes.
Then silence.
Then, of all things, a scraping at the door they had barricaded. Like a dog, asking to come in.

 

As i make my way back to the room, i think about what just happened. After exhausting all my energy shooting fire balls, i should have been killed by the man who acted as a beast. But something, something happen purple light and strings shot from my hands saving me. Was it a Last Resort ability or is something i can use at will like the fireballs & Flash? More importantly how did i get this power, from the files and Doctor Toufin's words i was a failure, so how could i have this power if i wasn't even suppose to have pyro-kinesis? As i think i arrive at the room but find something wrong.... Guards.

They are slamming in to what seems to be the room the girls where in but only barracked. As they are slamming the door one of them spots me, and cocks his gun.
"Hey! You, red-head! Freeze! Hands in the..."
Before he can finish i ready a fireball but to my surprise something else stops him before i do
"Grrrr..."
"What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING THING?!"
"GGGREEEAAAAGH! RRAAAAAGH!!"

BLAM! BLAM BLAM BLAM!

I lost all train of thought, a cold sweat runs over my entire body at the sight before me. The man, the man who was a beast, the man who i had just fought with and barely made it out alive is right before. It was as if the fight never happened to him because all this limbs were there an not even a scratch was on him. He was currently killing the guards outside the room as if they were mere cattle, I had been in the same position as they were however i had a bit better chance than them. After he was finished killing the guards i was worried he would look to fight with me again but oddly enough he only went to the door and started scratching at it. Still afraid i keep my fireball ready but he seems un-interested in attacking me. I walk up to the door he is scratching on, and dose my fireball.

It has been barricaded but not enough to keep the guards out for long. I knock on the door and speak to who ever is inside
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"Hey anyone in here?"
no response
"Just though i'd let you know, this door won't hold out the guards forever. It certainly won't keep the experiments. If you are a Doctor, get out when the next wave of guards come unless you want to end up dead here. If you are an experiment, them you'll be happy to know i'm like you. Staying in one place is a bad idea in this place, try to keep moving, that's what I've been doing. If you want to follow either let me in or follow on your own. I headed to the top floor, should be easy enough to find me. Just follow the burning corpses. My power is....... Highly effective..... at guard control"

I end my talk with the door. I can wait a few minutes for their response but then I'm going to have to head with or without them
