So I've recently re-watched a playthrough of Project Altered Beast. Ever heard of it? Well most likely you've heard of the Dreamcast Game and possibly the GBA Sequel.

However Only Japan and Europe received the PS2 Reimagining of the series in a more Sci-fi Fashion over Zeus bringing some dead guy back to life with super power.

However for us in the rest of the world we can only play the game through the art of... Emulators, so it's on my list of games to grab when I get a Gaming Computer.

Anyway I'm gonna start the story, And if you do want to look up Altered Beast, there is a walkthrough of the main story, but the only non-commentary english version is missing a boss battle so just a fair warning, the guy lost footage so there's a gap in scenes, and sadly it's a boss battle that gives story information.

[? P.O.V.]

"Urgh..." I groaned as I opened my eyes finding the room I was in was dark, not pitch black but dark enough to make it hard to initially see, "The hell am I? And why the hell am I so cold?"

Looking downward I noticed two things, one I was wearing only my underpants, so at least my junk wasn't flopping about, and I was on a table of sorts with a glass down opened to the side.

"I was... sleeping, that's right..." I muttered, but there was a bigger problem, I couldn't remember much. I could remember basic things like reading and writing and, ukh, math. But my name had slipped my mind, why I was on this thing, and where I was.

Rolling off the table I looked around the room and noticed it was covered in a fine layer of dust, and a small wooden chest sat on a counter in front of me with a letter on it.

I grabbed the letter and opened it and began to read.

[Sable, if you're reading this then that means you've survived the attack, most likely you've awoken three or four years since you were put into the healing stasis. Your clothes have been repaired and set in the box, along with documentation on the Genome Project funded by the previous Emperor in secret. Truthfully I'm worried of side effects of the process so for the record I'll remind you you have the Chip for Specimen AB-2: Werewolf inside you. The others have most likely been stolen or placed in safety by my assistants. There isn't much in this lab for you aside from some old water so I would personally recommend leaving as soon as possible my friend. And if the rumors I've heard are true the Capital is getting dangerous lately so here is my last order assuming I've perished.

Retrieved the missing AB Chips, use them as you please, and secure the protection of the citizens of the Empire in whatever manner you see fit Sable. And once your done... Kick back, drink a martini or something, and relax, feel free to take over the research if you so want.

Your's truly, Doctor Merrius Kraw.]

After I read the letter I felt a sharp pain in my head and I dropped the letter.

[Memories]

I looked toward the man as he helped my off the surgery table. Short lavender hair with a pair of half glasses on his nose, wearing a white coat that completely covered his torso, though it appeared he was wearing shorts and sandals for some reason.

"Welcome back to the waking world Sable." Dr. Kraw said, "You'll be pleased to know that you've succeed in surviving the Genome Augmentation process. Pretty good if I say so myself seeing as I don't have the teigu Perfector."

"Thanks doc, saved my life doing this you know." I said putting my hand on his shoulder, "So what's the basics?"

Kraw nodded and walked over to a small case he had put several of his surgery tools in, most covered what I knew my my blood, and picked up a small capsule with two glowing green ends, "This is one of the Genome Chips I've developed, this one is AB-2, Commonly known as Werewolf, the augmentation process has resulted in a small addition to you throat, all you have to do is swallow one of these chips and it will be attracted into the new pipe and installed into a new 'organ' next to your heart." Kraw said, "Better than having to cut you open every time we developed a new Chip to put in you."

"New chip?" I asked crossing my arms, "Didn't you tell me the first person who took the process only has one form?"

"True." Kraw said handing me the chip, "But I've been tinkering with the new 'Organ' and have modified it to be able to hold several chips, as well as let you cough up a chip if you want to replace it. I refer to the organ as Chimeric."

"So all I have to do is swallow it?" I asked.

"Yes... But the transformation will be painful." Kraw warned, "And despite the fact your build is lean and toned instead of muscular like our first volunteer I can assure you that you could hold your own in a match of raw strength... An actual fight on the other hand I''m not too sure. Now then, I'll go get your new clothes."

"New clothes?" I asked, "You mean some kind of uniform?"

"No, I had to develop a new genome based fabric because the other guy kept busting out of all his clothes when he transformed and though the women like it, the guys working here are tired of seeing him streak to the nearest locker room." Kraw joked.

[Memory ends]

I stumble back and shake my head.

"Shit..." I muttered looking back up, seeing a mirror above the box with my clothes in it.

My hair reached me ears and was a silver color, my face was clean shaven, and though I did in fact have a toned, but not too muscular, build I noticed my chest was marred by five scars going from my right shoulder and to the bottom of my left ribs.

Out of concern I began to flex my body in several positions, many of which pulled taut my chest, I felt not pain or hindrance of any sort so that's was assuring.

I pulled my clothes out of the box and took a look at what I had.

A pair of slightly loose tan pants (Though not around my waist so I didn't need a belt.), a red hip length jacket, a white undershirt, and a pair of red boot, with some white socks for comfort.

"I remember these." I muttered before putting the clothes on and leaving the room, taking the papers on the Genome project with me.

"I need to get to the Capital." I said to myself, "As soon as I find my way out of this place..."

[]

Thankfully the Genome project papers came with both a map of the lab, and a map of the labs location.

Though now I was walking through the forest with the map in my hand, the other papers folded and in my jacket, "Let's see... There should be a road ahead, then I turn left and follow it to the capital." I noted.

"Well lookie here boys, we got ourselves a loner." A rough male voice sounded behind me.

"You have got to be joking." I muttered turning around, facing a small group of about seven bandits, three of which were women.

"He's got a cute face." One woman said, "Mind if I have a ride before we kill him."

"Only if he doesn't willingly fork over everything he's got." The tall man said as he picked up an axe.

'Bandit's.' I thought, 'No room for negotiation, I could use my bare hands, but I'm in a hurry... Let's see if I can remember how to do this.'

A brief moment of concentration on my Chimeric Genome Organ and I soon felt a shock go through my system.

[Altered Beast: Werewolf Transformation]

[No P.O.V.]

Sable looked at his hand as pain flared through it, his fingers were spazzing as his skin began to tear, pretty soon his fingers were loosing feeling and bending in unnatural directions before his palm and arm began to expand and tear apart, the hand bursting into flesh as new, larger hand uncurled, tipped with lethal 10 inch claws.

His clothes melted away into a liquid that sunk into his skin, just as his chest began to began to expand and the flesh began to tear open and pale blue fur began to grow, leaving his scars as his only unchanged feature.

The veins on his head began to pulse as his ears lengthened, the skin began to tear away as his eye turned a sickly yellow before the burst into blood and shut.

His mouth began at spasm violently as his teeth flew out and his mouth elongate into a muzzle as they too lost skin, wolf teeth growing in as they kick the human teeth out.

Finally Sable lurched forward as the fur on his back grew far longer and connected to his head like it was a hairstyle and fur began to cover his head.

Sable shot upright and let out a painful howl that caused the bandits to step back.

"What the hell!?" One of the women shouted as Sable glared at them.

[Altered Beast: Werewolf theme]

Running toward them on all fours, Sable practically appeared in front of the lead bandit and swiped his claws at the man, the soft human flesh gave little resistance to the claws and the man head and arm were torn off his body and splattered against the forest.

"Shit!" The woman who had wanted to rape Sable shouted, "Kill it!" The remained bandit's drew their weapons and tried to attack Sable, only for him to leap over the bandits and land behind his would-be rapist. "Oh god." She gasped before Sable slashed upwards with his claws, tearing off most of her front side and causing her neck bone to be broken backwards, but her head still attached to her body.

Sable then threw his body forward, a small mach cone appearing in front of him and he slammed into another of the bandit's causing him to explode into meaty chunks.

The four remaining bandit's then turned to run away, but Sable had pounced on the one closest to him and, using his teeth, tore the man head off before tossing it aside and howling, lunging at another bandit and ran his claws through his stomach. Throwing the body aside Sable dashed to the last remaining male bandit and rammed into him, breaking most of the bones in his body, and causing him to die from the impact.

The last bandit, a woman, dropped her axe and stepped away from Sable, only for her back to hit a tree. So she did the only thing she could.

"UAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

[OST End]

[Sable's P.O.V.]

As I walked down the road, in my human form once again, I took in a few breaths as the adrenaline in my veins finally died off. Figures it only after I transform back that I recall just how much leftover adrenaline I have from transforming in the first place.

As much as I loved how fast the Werewolf ran, I'd rather not run up to the front gates in full wolf mode and have to fend off armed guards. The Genome Project was a secret project formed by the previous Emperor after all.

Based on the notes I had, it seems the Emperor was growing anxious, the new (At the time of the projects start) Prime Minister Honest, who had taken lead role after the former Minister retired to care for his family, seemed rather suspicious to the Emperor. So only Dr. Kraw was told about the project for the protection of the Empire from the inside. Only months later was the Emperor killed and Kraw was forced to find staffing and Volunteer's by himself.

I shook my head and walked up to the front gates, and to the guard standing in front... Who looked half asleep.

"Mind if I enter?" I asked the guard.

"Huh?" The guard mumbled, "New here?"

"Yeah." I said nodding, "Can't remember being here before." That wasn't a lie after all.

"Sure, doors open a crack for people to walk through." The man said... Right before I heard snoring.

I raised an eyebrow before slipping inside the city and looked up, "Big." I said with smirk, "Gonna need to take a look around, good thing those bandit's seemed to have mugged some people beforehand."

And thus I made my way to the best place to gather rumors... A bar.

[[]]

Well folks, let me know what you think... And yes, this is going to be a rather gory fic. Seriously In Project Altered Beast that was the Werewolf Transformation and his lethal attacks does tear off chunks of whatever poor shmuck happens to be in the way.

Anyway I'm done for tonight, I've got to get some sleep, I've been staying up till two for a couple of nights now.
