The fire was all around them, burning/breathing, breathing/burning consuming everyone loved. His mother found him and tried to take him to the ship but the aliens in shining purple armor caught her. He tried to save her but he was too scared and weak…so terribly weak, so mortal. He didn't have to watch for long though because his mothers friends in lab coats were here and they helped him into their ship instead, before his mother's blew up into an atmospheric cloud and fire.
Something ablaze flew from the wreckage and pierced him in his abdomen and burned his flesh, the men in lab coats were frantically getting him into their medical bay pumping artificial blood into him because he was drowning in his own. The last thing he saw was his father on the table next to him with metal things sticking out of his body. Those were Kandens last memories of his childhood he floated in his bio-regenerate machine. To this day he still wore feint scars of his past, that he later learned that it was space pirates in wave armor and would get vengance on them in time. In the lab he felt safe and so did the scientists when they were around him.
They trusted each other and they said they were almost done with his armor augmentations. But they hurt a lot, but they were always honest with him and they told him so, but the real reason he hated the experiments on him is that he never got to see his father he was always away when they were working on him. One day they said that he was capable enough to undergo "project larva" (the enomeans had the natural ability to go into stinglarva form, but only at birth) the scientist explained.
He once again was led to the familiar bio-tech machine which was strangely comfortable considering all the evil looking instruments surrounding it, the machine had an artificial intelligence in it to monitor his vitals and periodically check his nervous system for dangers that could cause the subject injury or death. The needles gently penetrated his spine causing him mild discomfort that he was used to.
With the new DNA permanently combining with his own he was taken to the training area. Once he got there he smelled something unusual and yet familiar, but he ignored it because he was supposed to be focused entirely on his training, the blast doors closed behind him and he was in the training room which was like a diamond polymer; flexible but strong. And it was now in a small cube like area he couldn't get out of but there was a circular hole about a meter wide but too small so he couldn't crawl through. In a few minutes of pondering what to do he remembered about his new gene augmentation, right he said in that deep tone. And he instinctively did a jump flip and his limbs seemed to automatically fold into shape.
This all was—strange but he was nearly giddy with excitement and crawled through the tunnel he passed a few energy units along the way but he didn't want them right now, as he reached the other end the tunnel glowed yellow suddenly and he smelled something familiar but not the same thing from earlier, and he discovered that to his confusion and dismay that it was being filled with acid as part of their test, "sometimes they seem to like the tests too much" he thought. As he hurried to get to the close exit his flesh was burning, and it reached to his four eyes and he closed them he thought he would go insane.
His nose hit the opposite wall and a shield door behind him closed sealing the acid away, he was in a room big enough to stand in now so he went back to biped, there was a large door on the wall he hit earlier. He heard deep pained breathing on the other side, and the door disengaged the lock, and the soft heavy padding of clawed footsteps disturbed him a little and before him standing slightly taller than him was an enormous shelled monster even he couldn't imagine. Kanden used his fourth eye to scan the creature to maybe find out what it is. The creature fired an electrical shot in the middle of the scan and caught him off guard, slamming him against the wall. Scan complete the onboard A.I. in his black mask buzzed to him. "Species Enomian Grenchler; it preys on more defenseless life forms than it. It stuns or kills larger prey with its electrical horn. And its diet consists of meat. Conclusion target is hostel take aggressive action".
Kanden replied to his computer while avoiding the grenchler. "What why do I have to kill it, can't I just wait till the timer runs out for the test?" he said in worried voice. "Perhaps if you exhaust it by forcing it to use its electric horn you could-fzzzzzzzzzalpha!insertquote …overridecode7410. "I'm sorry Kanden but if you can't do this test then well you might not prove to be so successful in real life after all. "Please no" said Kanden. Kanden you know that if you can't be useful then we have to send you away."" Fine then." With grim fate he used the charged super missile blast to wipe it away completely. The grenchler sensed that it was about to be hurt and it unexpectedly to Kanden rammed its iron like skull into Kanden's chest.
With one arm raised and tired eyes Kanden was about to fire when out of no were the grenchler charged into him head first into the wall, "Bad bug bad bug," "what was that voice?" Kanden grunted. "Mash bug-make dead." "Yes too smart for bug." Kanden thought the source of the voice was coming from the beast. "Do you here that voice?" he called to the analysts. "No you must be hearing false sounds from mental fatigue." One of them answered. "Kill green bug." Now getting annoyed tried to gather his courage to shoot the creature again. He shot a missile near the thing but it didn't hit the shell on its back. The grenchler rammed at him with full force, he jumped and sidestepped out of the way, but it turned and sent a jolt of electricity that Kanden absorbed into his armor. And then all went black
