Here is a little intro: People exist with extraordinary talents. Some are blessed with high intelligence, some are born with strength and confidence that inspires other in lack of. Few humans have awakened a special trait that separates the others. Since the dawn of civilization these special humans have been immortalized as monsters in myths, legends, and epics. These humans have continued to exist with their gifts/curses. These humans had the ability to alter their appearance and become half-human and half-animal. They are known as Zoanthropes. Recently the public is becoming a little aware of them. An evil corporation, Tylon, had its interests piqued by these Zoanthropes. They began to kidnap them and normal humans. The kidnapped underwent atrocious experiments for the purpose of creating an obedient Zoanthrope army. They were successful in some of their endeavors. A product of their success was an innocent little girl converted into a mega soldier that could transform into a hideous creature named after the mythical Chimera. Their actions were soon found out by a group of Zoanthropes who wanted to end these heinous crimes. They successfully lead a raid to end Tylon despite Tylon's hired assassins. Tylon is in turmoil and panic after they witnessed their mega soldier defeated and reverted back to her true form. This is where our story begins. The reboot of what is going on what will happen. (Note this is headcanon and Konami currently owns this series. Here is to revive Bloody Roar)
Blaring sounds were screeching. Red lights flashed everywhere in this metallic laboratory. Many scientists were fleeing from the doomed lab. Many of them trampled the floor to reach the escape exits. They trampled in their scurry because the floor was populated by columns upon rows of glass containers that bridged between the floor and ceiling. Within these glass columns were mild bubbling sea green liquid that coated the human test subjects. An air breathing machine was attached to their mouths. These kept them alive in the translucent fluid. They were all dormant. One scientist with a green Mohawk stumbled upon this certain container, which a metallic plate was attached. Subject: Joaquin was inscribed on the plate. The captive was of moderate above average height. His skin was a dark olive. His build was toned and slightly muscular. He was of mature age but before his 20's. His hair flowed at a medium length within the liquid.
"Project Werechimera was a failure, but I think you will be more successful!" He exclaimed. He picked up a crowbar and swung to break the glass. The action was prevented by a disturbingly-frightening creature on his left! His appearance was dreadful. His skin was not skin of a normal human being and yet he has a silhouette and form of man. Instead of skin, it was a hard blue shell that encased his body. This shell was not one piece but was segmented as if it was his armor. Between each segment, there was a green membrane where his joints should be. His eyes were piercing yellow. There were sharp protrusion-like pincers at the top corners of his mouth.
His hands gripped the crowbar from advancing any further and he scolded, "Hajime! ughh...You will not continue with any more of these experiments!...ugh...Grant him mercy by leaving him be."
"Dr. Steven Goldberg. You are out of your glass container. I also see you have stuck your feet in a sticky mishap from earlier. I hope Bakuryu doesn't stain your bandages. You are still so naive. I can tell you are still not use to the new body I have given you." Hajime chuckled.
"You mean the one you cursed me with!" Goldberg growled.
"A brilliant scientist like me has to make a few 'mistakes' before perfecting perfect projects. You were a naughty doctor Goldberg!"
"Me! Naughty! You were the one who turned me into this!"
"You shouldn't have abandoned us. You were about to turn us in, but thanks to you I have learned from 'your' mistakes and improved on other subjects. This is one of the many experiments we studied. We couldn't solely rely on one weapon. You should know that yourself," Hajime continued to justify.
"You can't be serious! His life is already ruined by the atrocities we have committed. Look at what happened to Bakuryu." Goldberg warned.
"Bakuryu's pride was his downfall. The old codger was more concerned with being the strongest than staying alive. On the other hand, that little girl taught us that youth is able to handle our experiments at a cellular level. They can incorporate those new gene codes faster than what Bakuryu's aged cells could do," Hajime barked. Hajime shoved Goldberg off with his left shoulder. Goldberg let go of the instrument of destruction and stumbled back onto the floor.
"Hajime! How do you have that strength? I was stronger than you before this," Goldberg said in astonishment.
"You are not the only man-made Zoanthrope," Hajime laughed. He opened his mouth to stick out his tongue, but this tongue was long and conically thin. It extended to the center of his left cheek. Quickly he whipped his tongue to impress his ego. His tongue retreated back to his mouth. Hajime continued, "Do I stun you? You are weak Goldberg. Tylon failed to create an army of Zoanthropes. I will pick up what's left and perfect these blossoming fruits." Hajime then swung the crowbar as if it was a slugger. The impact shattered the glass. The translucent liquid flowed out in all directions. Meanwhile, Joaquin, the test subject began to regain consciousness. Joaquin fell onto his knees. He caught himself from being killed by the shattered glass by landing also on his hands.
"Now, the other flowers need to be pruned." Hajime scanned the other columns. He pulled out a capped syringe from his lab coat. "I think it's time for your injection Goldberg? Shall I name you Stun because I stun you? Stun, a brilliant name for scum like you, by a brilliant scientist like me. Do you agree Goldberg...Goldberg...Damn! He fled. No matter, Dr. Hajime Busuzima will still rise from this with my own army of Zoanthropes! I will restart the work of Bakuryu with that child with true potential. Ha Ha Ha!..Ow! I bit my tongue!"
Hajime Busuzima recapped the needle. Meanwhile, Joaquin, the test subject, regained more consciousness.
"Ughh..." groaned Joaquin. Busuzima unlatched the breathing mask from Joaquin.
"There there. I released you from your prison. As thanks for my mercy, you don't have to thank me. You have to survive this raid. I only recruit the strongest. It's the survival of the fittest. I have other minions to awaken! Don't die. I am counting on you," Busuzima sneered. He turned away from the broken containment cylinder. He continued his discriminative crusade by breaking the others.
The boy from the initial containment was now fully conscious. His mind was foggy and movements were sluggish. He stumbled to stand up and jumped out of his prison. His landing was terrible as he stumbled onto the floor. The sharp pain of shattered glass stung him. The pain awakened the willpower to wake up. He slowly rose up with his hand grasping his head. His moppy hair covered his left eye but not his cheeks. He had no recollection on where or why. His survival instincts did indicate he needed to leave. He did recognize the smell of burning plastic and metal. He ambled his way to an exit staircase, until he looked down at his nude body.
"Where am I?...Why am I naked?" he asked himself under his breath. He scanned the area. To his surprise he saw other cylindrical cells with the liquid media surrounding the floating bodies.
"What is this place?!" he exclaimed. He looked to see his fortune. There were medical scrubs hanging on a wall hanger nearby an exit. He speedily ambled his way to the wall hanger. He dressed himself with the jade-shade scrubs. Before he proceeded to exit through the stairwell exit, the door swung open. An older gentleman with bold bone structure intruded. He was an aged man, but he still was physically fit. His chest and arms were exposed but his torso was wrapped by a metallic fabric. He wore military camouflage pants and boots too. His right arm had a red fabric tied around. He had a huge scar on his left eye, eyebrow, and cheek.
"You must be a survivor from those experiments. Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but you need to get out this burning building now!" the man recommended hastily.
"You have to rescue the others! I am not all that well," Joaquin responded.
"I will do my best, but I can't promise you that everyone will make it out alive," the man added.
"Please do your best!" Joaquin requested.
"Hurry you don't have that much time. Find a man about your age. He should be at the bottom floor. His name is Yugo. Tell him Gado sent you." Gado instructed.
"Thank you," Joaquin thanked. He hurried down the flight of stairs. Along the travel, he did noticed a young man was zooming past him up the stairs. This man was wearing a red shirt underneath his blue vest. He also had dark gray denim shorts on and black kneepads. The red and white sneakers complemented his shirt.
Joaquin halted his momentum. He pivoted his body towards the young man whom was ascending the staircase.
He called out, "Hey sir! You are heading the wrong way!" One of the higher metal beams from the upper levels soon crashed down upon the stairs in front of Joaquin's physical position. The burning beam crackled a couple feet away from him. The obstacle obstructed any view Joaquin would have of the ascending man.
"Gado! Hold it together, there was another staircase. Maybe they can find a way down there," Joaquin assured himself in his mind. Joaquin continued his descension down the staircase.
He stopped on the ground floor. An unknown sensation aroused him, He felt his sensations augmenting in intensity. Could this be adrenaline? Joaquin opened the door to the ground floor. He began to sprint. This sprint seemed to have amplified for an unknown reason until he reached the middle of the lobby on the ground floor. Scientists were exiting through the glass entrance doors. No sign of fire, but the tiled room was flashing red.
"Yugo! Yugo!" the young man shouted. "Where are you?" he continued. No answer was given. The young man did not want to wait for very much longer. The building was on fire!
"I am sorry Gado," the young man muttered. The entrance was flooded with panicked scientists. If there was any chance of survival, Joaquin could not wait for the entrance to clear up. The whole building could collapse by the time he saw an opening. He scanned the room and located a fire exit south-east from his position. The scientists were more focused exiting the building forward that they did not want to look back. Joaquin exhaled deeply and sprinted to the exit. The door did not hinder him as he pushed the press-in metallic handle away while in momentum. After he exited, he turned to his right and sprinted along the alley. He stopped to catch his breath when he was a block away from his former prison. The sky was a starry night in the back alley. His inner voice was ordering him to escape further down after he caught his breath. Deep down he felt deep regret for not obeying Gado's command. He justified his reasoning that he had to leave because he could not find Yugo. The justification could not remedy his condition. He let Gado down...
P.S. Somebody please reboot this game! It needs be re-mastered. Hudson, Konami, owns the rights to the Bloody Roar series and characters. The situation of my oc character and his journey is original and belongs to me. Otherwise the characters and the scope of events belong to Konami.
