I dont own either The Vampire Diaries or The 100.

This is my first story after years of reading fanfiction. I was super nervous about doing this if I am honest. I just felt that there are so many ideas I have had for stories over the years that I am ready to share, mostly crossovers.

This is going to be a OC/Octavia story.

Powers and abilities are going to be pulled from the vampires of TVD. I might change how The OC awakens his powers. I do want them to be time activated, but that raises concerns for how people he turns will get these abilities in relation to the time in the show. Just be prepared for me to change things up.

The whole timeline is going to be bumped back 50 years. So when the 100 are sent to the ground it will have been 150 years in space as opposed to 100. All characters will still be the same, except for the oc who is going to be on the ground.

When he first gets the injection and gets his vamp powers there will be no immediately noticeable change in him at all. Much like with the vampire from the vampire diaries they get stronger the older they are this is true for Hakan, which is why there is going to be no noticeable difference in strength for the first 10 years or so except for his inability to die and his healing fact. He gets the speed in his 14th year on the ground the strength at his 25th and compulsion 5 years before the 100 come down. And they grow stronger the longer he has them.

Prologue: Birth of an Original

"The Ark, a space station currently floating over the remains of Earth. The last bastion of humanity, for 80 years, The Ark has held the survivors of a nuclear war that decimated Earth. We are an airlocked generation, we know that our only purpose is to keep the last vestiges of humanity alive for another 150 years. At such time the radiation on Earth will have died down enough that it will allow humans to live again on the ground.

The ground, to me and those of my generation, is a pipedream. We know that we will never see it. Hell I honestly don't believe that the people on The Ark will be able to survive for that long maybe another 100 years, it just wasn't meant to be so constantly used for 250 years. I don't see the ark being able to sustain us for more than two…maybe three more generations. Also considering that there just isn't a whole lot of people here I fear that inbreeding will cause problems in the long run, should The Ark survive.

Despite our many fears for the future we have no choice but to soldier on and live and learn the best that we can. Well live within the strict guidelines that are set up by the council of The Ark. Since we have so few resources and such a great responsibility all crimes, no matter how small, are met the same way with death. The only way to maybe not be killed was to have the crime be committed before you turn 18 when they are more lenient." All of this was being spoken by a young man while he was alone in a dilapidated lab recording a message on a data pad in front of a large metal bed with needles lined up around it. He was tall for his apparent age of 16-17. Standing at 6'2 built like boxer was one of the greatest minds on The Ark.

"Which leads me to telling you all one thing. I have found a way to change things for all of us here on The Ark, we won't have to just survive, we could thrive on the ground. What I have done, and more to the point, about to do is deemed illegal by the ark. This however is necessary by both the virtue of what could come about and for survival. To that end I have one thing to say; My name is Hakan Thorson, I was born in the year 2116 and at 17 years of age on my birthday, after 1 year of nonstop research I will conduct the first and only human test in the field of biochemical engineering in 81 years. With any luck I will succeed and finish the dreams past scientists originally had for my completed formula. If I did my work correctly, when I finish this I will become The First, The Original of a whole new breed of humans." Turning away from the screen Hakan walked to the metal bed where he proceeded to strap himself in.

"This is Hakan Thorson, AKA. Hack, saying commence to the injection of Evolution Booster BLUBD Mk IV" Although said with confidence he still paused, taking a deep breath, bracing himself he hit the button on the table under his hand that started the process. With a hiss the needles all came down pierced Hakan at different points in his body. While from under the table a deep blue liquid traveled up the tubes where it waited at the tops of the needles. The system waited a second before pulling more power from The Ark where it was used to electrify the formula at the top of the needles turning it a more electric blue color. Almost the second this color change occurred the serum was pushed through the needles into Hakan.

Despite my initial burst of pain from the needles going into my body I didn't feel anything aside from the cold of the restraints. I felt failure flood through me, had I gotten something wrong, did I not pull enough power from the grid. "Shit…A years worth of work all for no-!" in the middle of my sentence I felt it, a cold burn spread throughout me whole body, freezing all thought in its track as my mind was filled with a blinding burning pain. It went on and on without an end in sight. I know not how long I was strapped to the table or what was happening around me all I felt was paths of frozen ice moving throughout my body only to feel the ice that was left behind being shattered by a blazing inferno slowly moving up my chest to my head.

When I felt the first wave of Icey cold reach the top of my head I opened my mouth and let out a soul tearing scream before all I was, memories, thoughts, was consumed by a blazing inferno and I new no more.

THE ORIGINAL - POV NOONE

Else where on The Ark chaos was beginning to set in. 10 minutes ago a giant power surge went through the station and certain parts of The Ark went offline. Lights went out, heat shut down, water systems stopped working creating issues in crop station. Only coms, and air was still available in certain sections of the ark. In response to this, a emergency session of the Council was called where Chief Engineer Arthur Sinclair (Sinclair's father) gave a report of the phenomenon. Stating that power from 3 different sections of The Ark were being diverted to one single section where they all intersected at, the fact that this section was one of the areas of The Ark off limits to everyone due to reasons that the first council never mentioned. Arthur Sinclair stated that the power draw was still going on and the only way to stop it was to go into the abandoned section, find the conduit that was drawing power and turn it off.

Now in the abandoned section of the Ark that used to be the UN R&D labs a squad of ARK Guards led Arthur Sinclair to the lab that was the origin of the energy drain. With a hiss the door opened allowing the squad to see a dilapidated lab with a young man on a table in the center. After taking stock of the situation Sinclair had all of the guards fan out and check on the child on the table. In the mean time he went up to the main console in the room where a data pad was placed recording what happened. Stopping the recording Sinclair went about turning off all machines in the room with a sinking feeling in his stomach, this to him, looked of human experimentation which would not be forgiven on The Ark. Having stopped the drain he ordered the Guards take the young male to the SkyBox until he was able to take the council the evidence of what had happened. Unfortunately for Sinclair he did not take into account fail-safes that Hakan had taken to secure his research, as a result a worm went through the files on the data pad and erased everything except for the last recording as he wasn't able to add it to the files to be deleted. Sadly that is all that was needed to dig his metaphorical grave.

Two hours later the council all convened in the chamber of judgement, where all sentencing was conducted in The Ark. The case was the punishment of Hakan Thorson for illegal human experimentation, research into banned material, endangering lives of The Ark, causing potential harm to the systems of The Ark, and contributing to anarchy. It was actually one of the worst crimes that has managed to be committed since The Ark was made. After reviewing the video that was made of the experiment the council was of two minds, on the one hand they wanted to see what the result of the experiment was; if it had a positive result it would be taken from Hakan's blood and given to those on The Ark that truly deserved it. If there was no result the council decided that since he cause so much trouble, he would get a special punishment…being sent to the ground where he would die. His case and verdict were added to The Arks records and the meeting was disbanded.

THE ORIGINAL - POV HAKAN

I felt myself coming back to the land of the living. With if I'm not mistaken what pre Ark humans called the mother of all hangovers, at least going by the list of symptoms that I saw on a data pad once. I sit up and notice that I am in a bland room with a window on one side that shows the earth laying on the floor with chains binding me to the floor so I can pretty much just kneel on the ground. I take inventory of myself…nothing really seems out of place. I just feel sore and my joints hurt, oh and I feel like I want to puke, which I promptly did…gross.

I scooted a couple inches away from my sick, as far away as I could with the chains on me. When I heard the lock on the door hiss before it opened. In walked Arthur Sinclair who was the head of Engineering which is my division of The Ark I just never told them that I happened to be genius in the field of biochemical engineering.

"Hey Chief Sinclair, fancy seeing you here." I try to mock jokingly, although I don't think I really pulled it off all that well, his face didn't even twitch. However I am not really surprised by this one of his best engineers was arrested, if the chains on my wrists are anything to go by.

"You pulled to much power from the grid, Hack." He stated with a blank face after a minute of examining me. "less power or taking less power from more sections of The Ark could have been overlooked as a normal glitch and wouldn't have led back to you" Huh. Never would guess that he would start this off with criticizing my work, although granted that was the only sloppy or rushed part of my plan. Can you really blame me, I'm still a kid, I was on the verge of a breakthrough that would change humanity as we know it and I got a little excited, sue me.

"Really, I honestly thought I had messed up on the amount of energy need to energize the serum, really didn't think I had pulled enough. Since you're here I am assuming that my punishment has been decided." I said with a tired mix of curiosity and resignation. What could I really do, this formula was experimental at best, I have no baseline of what it has done or is doing to me? I am at the mercy of those above me in the power cycle on The Ark. "Just asking, but how long was I out for and do you think I could grab some water?"

He stared at me for another long second before scoffing "Of course that's going to be how it is, no explanation aside from your little video…whatever, you have been sentenced to solitary for a year and if no visible changes have been seen in you whatsoever you will be sent to ground to die, they thought it would be a ironic death. You have been out for two and a half – three days." He stared at me some more, condemning me with his gaze, sharp as a razor with the calculating gaze that only a genius with too much experience in life can really have.

Seeing such a look on Arthur's face cut me to the quick, you have to understand he was my mentor, he saw something in me, he was the one that took me out of the original path my life was on and brought me into the engineering section. Without him I would have been stuck as a janitor cleaning The Ark. I saw him as a savior, a confidant, and a challenge to overcome. He was turning to leave when I broke.

"I did it for us," I spit out "I did it for the generations that would have died miserable and confined on the floating prison. I had been exploring after a repair one day and stumbled into the abandoned section. When I went looking around I found notes and a single vial of a formula that was supposed to be the next step for humans. Allow us to live in harsher environments truly prepare us for life off of Earth. I saw what the benefits were supposed to be and I knew it was what we needed to save ourselves!" I was getting more and more caught up in my speech as I was getting going. Finally unloading a year of pressure and a lifetime of anger.

"Look around Sinclair, we are all just floating up here hoping that this ship can hold on long enough for us to survive. The people here are so controlled that they can not even live at all, we all cling to the past or the vague and unlikely hope for a future that is 4-5 generations away at best. Any crime is punishable by death. People live in fear all the time! There are maybe enough resources to last another 80 years, The Ark is already starting to show wear in its systems! I bet when your kids get to your age The Ark will be on its last leg unless some genius who is smarter than you and me combined figures something out!" I was on a roll and it just came pouring out "So yes, I went a head and worked in secret, with research that was deemed to dangerous or immoral! Yes, I performed an experiment on myself! I would do it again and again until I got the formula right just so that there is the chance that I and everyone here could live our lives free from the council and its rules on the ground!"

I could no longer keep screaming I just sunk down lower on the ground and just glared hard at Arthur, to which he stared back before he turned around again.

"The guards will be back everyday twice a day to give you food and to take your restraints off." He stated before he stopped outside of the door and glanced back at me, it might have been the light but his eyes looked misted and just beaten "For what it's worth I wish your formula was right, being on the ground would have been nice, cause you know I am having a son soon, born right when you are going to be sent to the ground actually. Goodbye, Hack" He left and so began my year of solitary.

Not really how I envisioned my great rebirth as The First/ Original, delusions of grandeur. I really am just a sucker, taken in by the promise of power that was right outside of my grasp. At least as far as I knew, what I didn't know what not even the creators of the Evo Booster knew was that much like a virus the booster had an incubation period, the clock for mine just happened to start ticking.
