A handsome young man about 25 years old stood in front of a group of men in business suits. Today was very important- he was introducing the idea of a new project to the people that funded the lab where he worked.

"So, gentlemen," he went on, "The experiments in Project Chrysalis would have strength anywhere from 600%-800% higher than that of an average human and could achieve speeds of 250 mph for up to 10 miles at a time and would be far more agile than average humans. They would of course resemble normal human beings."

"Why would they be called 'Project Chrysalis', Dr. Gray?" one of the men interrupted.

"Well at a pre-programmed age we plan to have them gain extra abilities. A transformation if you will. These being would be nothing short of an army. We could sell them to the highest bidder and make billions! There would be certain generations of each experiment, each one a hybrid of human DNA with an animals DNA. The Lion Generation, Bear Generation, Cheetah Generation, and the Wolf Generation." Sam Gray paused for a moment to see their reactions, then went on to show statistics and the research they've already gathered. "These would be among the most intelligent beings but they would be designed to obey us, not to mention completely emotionless. They would be designed to be the army that would bring the world under the rule of one man or organization; immune to major diseases-"

Another one of the men interrupted. "We've heard quite enough Dr. Gray. We give the lab our full permission and the funding they need to go through with this project. Do not disappoint us."

Sam Gray dipped his head in gratitude. "Of course not, sir." With that he took his things and left the meeting room.

The years passed and they went into more extensive research. They had 60 experiments in each generation. Some were successful, others were complete failures and some were in between. The failures never lived for very long. The in-betweens often died because they couldn't handle the stress of the heavy experimentation. Early experiments in the project were very unstable and also died. Some contracted strange diseases that could not be cured, side effects from god knows what.

Generation Bear was too violent, many of them were put down. Generation Cheetah didn't have the desired strength and were too fast. Many of them were gunned down whenever they tried to escape. Generation Lion…well they tried to make them look human but to no avail. Not to mention some of them didn't have the desired intelligence and were more animal than human. Generation Wolf, however, was different. Sadly though, by the time they got to this generation, some of them were slated for death before they were born, programmed with specific dates where their bodies would shut down and they would die.

Generation Wolf had the speed, the strength, and the agility. All were programmed to be incredible hackers, lock pickers, mechanics, and knew multiple forms of martial arts and fighting, females also could incorporate gymnastics into their fighting. Some were born looking as though they were part animal, but those features could be removed and the final product was a flawless perfect looking human.

Few of these experiments were born as human babies. Some of the married couples in the lab gave their children up, some were bought from poor families and even more stolen. Only about ¼ of the babies stolen had the animal DNA grafted into their human DNA after they were born. And any babies not born from human mothers were test-tube babies.

Sam Gray was so dedicated to this project, that he gave his sperm to fertilize a test-tube baby. At one point a young experiment did escape, though was soon recaptured after it was discovered she made a home in an orphanage. But fate was not kind to this project and all of Project Chrysalis died. All except one.

This is the story of that one.
