Prologue:
The Creation of the Human Super-Weapon
500 years ago…
Enterra…
No…
Not Enterra…
Back then it used to be called Earth. That beautiful blue and white orb floating in the vastness that we call space…
It looked so peaceful… So beautiful… Floating there by itself… No one could ever have guessed of the disaster that was sweeping the surface of that seemingly quiet place…
No one…
But, yet, there it was, a viral monster sweeping the surface of the planet clean of humans. Until that day…
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How long until we get there?" Asked a blonde-haired scientist to the army personal driving the armored car they were in.
Scientists had found a way to combat the virus by injecting special genes into a human's bloodstream.
"You are so impatient, Dusuke." Chuckled the black-haired scientist sitting next to his colleague.
They codenamed this special gene "Enterran." And when injected into a human made them immune to the deadly virus.
"You know, as well as I do, that this could be the special person we had been looking for, Ariyama. So, I think I'm entitled to be a little impatient this time." Replied Dusuke annoyed looking at his friend.
The only downside is that they weren't completely human anymore. They were now half Enterran. But, if that wasn't bad enough…
"I know, Dusuke." Said Ariyama trying to calm his friend down. "I've been working on this project with you for a long time. I know how important this discovery is… But, we're not even outside the city yet and we stick out like sore thumbs in this old rust bucket." Ariyama rapped his knuckled against the interior of the armored car as if proving his point. "We have to go slow and careful so we're not noticed by any rebel Enterrans, okay?"
The special gene had a flaw. Any human injected with it would become immune, no question about it, but as a side effect, caused by the special genes taking over human genes, they would develop an intense hatred for humans who were not enhanced. Those feelings would eventually turn physical and they would start to actually kill normal humans in their attempts to become superior.
"Sir?" Said the army personal. Dr. Dusuke looked over at the man as he added, "Now exiting the city. Estimated time of five minutes until we reach our destination."
Scientists then stopped all production of the "Enterran" gene, but it was too late. Most of the human experiments had escaped from the labs by using their now enhanced powers and were making their way over the land, killing all humans they found. In addition, the "Enterran" humans found that their blood would cause other humans and even animals to become mutated. The humans would then use these animals to help them in their quest to destroy the people that created them. Thus, the Great Human, Enterran War had begun…
"Good." Said Dr. Dusuke sinking back into the seat and closing his eyes as Professor Ariyama looked at him with a small smile. "The sooner we get "her" to our labs the better. We will not be able to withstand the Enterrans attacks much longer. And, I fear, at this rate the whole human race will be killed or mutated in a few short years. I don't know what Dr. Tatsuro is planning to do with his little girl but I fear he is wasting his time…"
But, the scientists of the world refused to hand their world over to those mutated humans. So, they combined their knowledge in an attempt to create an anti-virus, to reverse the effect of the original "Enterran" gene.
"Don't call Dr. Tatsuro's efforts a waste of time!" Exclaimed Ariyama as Dusuke looked over shocked at his usually calm friend's sudden outburst. "If he thinks his little girl can save the world in the future then just let him go and stop making fun of him!"
Soon some of the scientists realized that their efforts would never pay off, but while studying the virus a couple of scientist noticed something odd. The virus was highly unstable and would not be that powerful at a lower dosage. They then came up with the idea of injecting small doses of the virus into certain genes in humans to enhance some parts but would leave the person completely human. They would then have a human super-weapon that would be able to fight the Enterrans without fear of mutation, and would hopefully not go crazy like all the others.
"Calm down, Ariyama." Soothed Dusuke as he remembered something. "Ah, now I remember… You apprenticed under Dr. Tatsuro when he first came up with the idea of putting his daughter into cryogenic sleep until the war was over. But, you then transferred to this lab when they started the "Human Super-Weapon" program."
And, then there was Dr. Tatsuro and his daughter… Something happened to his daughter when she was an infant, which he won't say what happened. He then thought that she could save the human race if all the humans would die. If he put her in cryogenic sleep she could survive till the end of the war and humans and then hopefully save the human race. How she would do this no scientists could figure out, so they didn't help him.
"The only reason I transferred was because my parents were killed by Enterrans. And, when I heard they were starting a program to make a weapon to combat the Enterrans I transferred." Said Ariyama hanging his head in shame as Dusuke smiled warmly at him. Ariyama picked up his head and added, "Sorry if I disappointed you by telling you this. You probably thought I joined for another reason other then just to get revenge against the things that took my parents."
So, while Dr. Tatsuro continued his seemingly useless idea of using his daughter as the light of hope, other scientists had finally found what they were looking for…
"It's okay." Said Dusuke as Ariyama looked at him shocked. Ariyama had expected an outburst of yelling and screaming because Dusuke was always very professional, this side of him was a welcomed shock. "I understand… This war has taken a toll on everybody. Nobody's acting themselves lately, you know." He added smiling warmly at his colleague.
The first ever human super-weapon…
"Sir. We're here." Said the army personal in his usually monotone voice. Dusuke and Ariyama looked up and gasped as the army personal brought the armored car to a full stop. The two scientists jumped out of the car and ran towards the house in front of them, which was on fire.
Their light of hope for this world…
"Nooooo!" Screamed Dusuke continuing his beeline for the house as a strong arm shot out in front of him and grabbed him around the chest.
"I'm sorry, young man. But, no civilians are aloud past this point till the fire is brought under control and police can get in there." Dusuke looked up at the police officer that had him around the chest as the officer added, "If you're immediate family you may go see the only survivor at the nearby hospital, if you're not family I suggest you get out of here before I arrest you for trespassing on a crime scene. Got it?"
"Was the survivor a little girl?" Asked Dusuke completely ignoring everything the officer said but the one survivor part.
"Yes. Now like I said if you immediate family…"
"Thanks! Ariyama! Let's go!" Exclaimed Dusuke interrupted the now confused police man. He ripped himself out of the police man's grasp and made a beeline for the armored car, which Ariyama was already in and waiting.
"Weird people, coming in an armored car like that." Muttered the police officer watching the car speed down the road at a more than safe speed.
Doctors and nurses gasped as the two scientist raced down the corridors to the emergency ward where "she" was. Ariyama skidded to a stop next to an operating room door and grabbed Dusuke shoulder as he ran by. Dusuke gave his partner a confused looked as Ariyama pointed at the glass in the door. Dusuke looked in and gasped at the little brown haired girl who was about to go under the knife
The girl weakly looked over at the two men who burst into the room as the sedative started to take affect. The emerald green eyes of the girl slowly closed as the last thing she could see and remember was the two men leaning over her with a worried but at the same time happy look on their faces…
