Legacy of the Sapris

Chapter 1

Another day

I open my eyes and again I look around my cell. For all my life this is all I remember, every morning and night the same four grey walls, my bed, a small bathroom of to the side and my desk by the metal door.

Above me a thin band of windows let the morning sunlight in to the dim room. Slowly I pushed myself out of bed, the cold floor sent shivers up my legs. I brushed my hand through my short brown hair as I stumbled over to the desk and waited for whatever they had planned for me today.

I don't know how long I have been hear, my oldest memory was when they took me. I remember my father telling me and my mother to hide. I remember him fighting them; I remember his machines falling and then his death. My mother screaming in sadness and rage, she tried to fight them but I begged for her to stay back. It was useless though; they found us and after a fight from my mother they caught us.

I don't know what happed to my mother but I was taken here and every day they tested me. All of my questions went unanswered as they continued the torture.

I turned to the small terminal on my desk. It was the 17th March 2183 Earth time. That didn't matter to me. The externet was heavily filtered to all but a few information sites. The terminal itself had many training and learning programs on it. I taught myself everything I can learn from it that wasn't clearly lies and propaganda.

What baffled me the most was the question what am I? Of all the species I read about I was unlike any of them. My legs and feet were like that of a Quarian and my fingers appeared to become claws at their tips. My blue eyes also glowed and appeared to change brightness or colour with my emotions. Besides that I was a human only with very pale almost grey skin. What was I? Was that why they wanted me?

There were three knocks at the door like normal. I was prepared for whatever they would do to me.

Two armed men waked in to my cell. They wore black and white armour with a golden diamonds. The symbol of Cerberus, that symbol signified everything I have ever hated and known. But what happened next surprised me. A woman with long black hair and wearing a black and white suit walked in.

"Hello Ken" she said. This was the first time any Cerberus person had said my name. "My name is Miranda and I am now in charge of this project and you."

I stood at my desk looking here in the eyes, "So you decided to say hello. What more do you want with me?" I said.

"I here because the previous project head made a mistake, his tests on you were that mistake."

"A mistake,"I shouted "You come in here and say years of torture was a mistake."

"The unnecessary tests were. We didn't see that the results we were looking weren't there because we were looking in the wrong place."

"What do you mean? And what were you even looking for?"

"Well I guess its ben long enough. We were looking for something you possess. But it isn't there because you don't even possess it yet." Miranda said. "Tell me Ken what do you remember of your family?"

"What do you mane I don't even possess it yet?"

"I'll answer that in time Ken. Now what do you remember of your family, your parents precisely?"

"That they loved me and Cerberus murdered them" I snarled back.

"You're wrong. Only your father died that day."

I was stunned. "M-my mother's alive!" I stumbled out, as I felt my legs weaken at the shock.

"Yes and she is the reason why you don't possess what we are looking for."

I collapsed back in to my chair. My mother's alive. I kept thinking over and over. "Where is she?" I growled as I leaped up and flue towards Miranda. My eyes were glowing bright red with rage. The guards reeled back in shock, even though I didn't notice this at the time. My mind was focused on finding my mother and freeing her from Cerberus.

Miranda glowed blue and I found myself flying back into the wall. As I slid down I felt drops of my blue blood drip down the back of my head.

"You will give us what we want. Your mother is to only one who can give it to you." Miranda said venom in her voice as she strode closer to me. "And we will get what we want." Her face was inches from mine. Here face broke in to an evil grin "Take him."

With that the two guards grab me and lock my hands behind my back. I was dragged to my feet and pulled out of my cell. I walked these corridors in shackles a countless number of times. This time however I was overwhelmed with a sense of fear and excitement that I never felt before. My eyes also felt this as there glow was changing between light blue and black.

As we turned down another corridor I felt something. Something familiar that brushed angst my mind, it frightened me but then it was soothing. I didn't know what this feeling was but it was getting stronger as I was dragged down the hall towards a thick sealed door.

"Now ken, behind this door is your mother. From what we know she has some form of ability that was past to you. We want that but she locked away from us." the door in front of me opened to revile a small chamber with another door at the end. My shackles were removed and I was shoved in.

My body was shaking with anxiety. Was my mother really behind this door? What did she look like? Would I recognise her?

"Ken if you get your mother to give you that power then we can finely finish what we started so long ago." Miranda said over an intercom. My mined still felt that familiar soothing feeling, it also seemed to be shaking with anxiety and jumping with joy. "You and your mother can freely see each over and there will be no more tests that will harm you two."

"You expect me to believe you." I shouted back.

"No Ken I don't. But I'm not a heartless killer. And besides we already have learned everything about you and her. You should be happy for such a reunion after so long. You were only five years old when you last saw each over and that was seventeen years ago. Get us what we want Ken. Don't make it harder than it has to be."

The doors in front of me opened. My heart was in my mouth as a bright light blinded me, solely my vision cleared to revile a small white room tit a table in the centre. At the table sat someone or something. It was then I remembered that figure and that feeling in my mind. It was my mother, and it was a shock to see her.
