Prologue:
A half human figure floated in a clear liquid, a reptilian tail wrapped around it. Men and women in pure white coats moved about the half-lit room, operating machines and taking notes.
"So, you have incorporated nen in this experiment?" An older man with a bushy mustache asked grumpily.
The lead scientist grinned from ear to ear and adjusted his glasses, "oh yes, but of course! At this rate she will be an all-natural specialist along with all of her reptilian qualities!" He continued to grin as he turned to the glass tank, "she's just perfect, don't you think? She's the first of sixty to last this long." The man walked forward and pressed his hand against the glass.
"You should be ready to come out any time now, we're just ecstatic to meet you! You will be my legacy! The creation of the century!" He laughed and spread his arms out wide.
"Yeah, yeah, but exactly how much money am I going to get back for sponsoring your experiments? You've spent far more than you promised." The business man grumbled, he reached for his coat pocket, but stopped himself as he remembered that smoking wasn't allowed in the lab.
"Oh, you will make zillions! If we ever show our research to the public, countries will want to weaponize them! Rich families will want them as bodyguards! Collectors will want them custom designed! Imagine all of the possibilities!" The scientist burst into laughter once again, the business man let out a sigh. "Gone are the days that people must train for their entire lives to gain superhuman qualities! Gone are the days of those who must waste nen to become equal to an animal's skills!"
"Sir!" The man froze mid-speech and turned around he watched the tank expectantly. The girl twitched.
"Drain the liquid out! Before she starts trying to breath!" The scientist started shouting orders as the tail began to uncoil, revealing small chameleon eyes which were searching in all directions.
After much pandamonium the girl finally sat in a fetal position in her empty tank. The scientist practically pressed his face into the glass, he paused for a second and then tapped.
The girl immediately stiffened, the room "oo"d and "aw"d as there as a yellow spike in her hair at the sound. Both eyes searched for a moment, before landing on him.
"I-It's a monster…" The businessman said, horrified.
"She's beautiful," the scientist cried. Tears of joy began to pour down his cheeks, "hello, Chameleon!"
