The City of Townsville… was merely a shadow of the glorious city it once was. For three long years, outlaws and evil has spread across the city. The crime rate has escalated to an uncontrollable level, as police, lawyers and judges were unable to intervene. Because of it, Townsville has been declared by the US Government as an uninhabitable city. This has only made its citizens more miserable than they already are; they are stuck in a city where crime is the norm. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter… all except for one.

That one exception is a forward-thinking scientist who looks back, back to a sweater time where there was a spice to life and everything was nice. That man has been assigned by the US Military to create supersoldiers using a mysterious ingredient called Chemical X. He has put posters everywhere in Downtown Townsville, so much that the citizens can't turn their heads without noticing them. He needed some of these citizens to be injected with Chemical X and supposedly been given superpower to defend Townsville. Alas, because the ingredient was untested, they rejected the offer, fearing it would only make things worse than they already are.

So, when things didn't go as he wanted, the scientist decided to shift focus on his own pet project. He arrived at the Townsville Mall by car, and searched in the grocery corner for the ingredients he needs for his own meddling with nature. Finally, after some extensive search, he found all the ingredients he needed. Thus, he registered them at the cashier and payed for them. He was about to head out the door, but stopped close-by when someone wearing a beanie mask pushed him aside. He went in front of the cashier, and tossed a luggage bag right on her face before pointing a gun at her. He didn't even have to say a word; she got the threat quickly and packed his bag with the money from the cash register. The scientist saw all of it, and could only sigh before lowering his head and walking out the door.

Minutes later, he finally arrived at his square house in Suburb Street. He took the ingredients in his house and locked the door behind him before heading to the basement. On his way, his pet chimpanzee noticed him and headed straight for him. He circled around his master several times to try to grab his attention. Alas, he wasn't laying an eye on him. Upon arriving to the door of his basement, he finally shifted his attention to the ape, but all he did was pointing at the opposite direction with a stern look. Disgraced, the ape slowly turned away from his master and walked away to the living room. He didn't even turn his back to look at the scientist, even before the man slammed the door behind him.

Finally, the man was in his place of being… it wasn't necessarily a basement that's half-finished and have barely any furniture, or a basement that acts as a storage for stuffs he didn't need. His basement was his laboratory, where he conducts scientific experiments involving different ingredients or lifeforms. That was why he gained the assignment to create supersoldiers; because he was well-known for his talents in science.

But he knew work needed to be done. Since no one in Townsville wanted to become a supersoldier, he felt like he could take time off to work on his personal science project. He set the grocery bags containing his ingredients on the counter, took a pot and filled it with water, turned the oven on, and put the pot on top of the burning plate. Before he started, however, he pulled out a picture from his coat pocket and silently gazed at it. A few drops of tears fell from his eyes as he glanced at it, which has he and his deceased wife in it. His thumb caressed the side with his wife before he set it down beside the oven. And thus, he put earphones on his ears, turned the music on, and began working on his project.

He started by pulling out all the ingredients he needed out of his bag. First, he poured sugar into a measuring cup filled it with half a cup of sugar. He then poured them from the measuring cup to the pot. Second, he took both spice jars and shook them into the pot four times each. Third, he dumped the bucket filled with everything nice into the pot. Toys, dolls, unicorns, makeups, nail polishers… everything that makes a girl pretty and nice.

Before he went to his final procedure, he took a moment to glance at the concoction for his science project…

Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl.

He savoured the moment he had always waited for three years. Since Townsville has gone through a bad case of depression, he wanted to create the perfect little girl to bring some light to a darker city. After his brief glimpse at the concoction, he took a stirring rod and started to stir the pot to bring the ingredients to their full effects.

Meanwhile, up above, the chimpanzee sat on the sofa in the living room, just staring at the wall in front of it. Not the television revealing nothing but lifeless static, or the still pictures of he, the scientist and his wife. Just the wall itself. Nothing. Not a soul in his eyesight. Just like he was feeling at that moment. Lifeless.

But within his soulless body, something was bending. Whatever it is, it felt hot. It fueled his body with rage and desperation for attention. The heat in his body helped that thing to keep bending and bending. Moments later, it happened. That thing in his body finally snapped in half, and he was filled with rage. Screeching from the top of his lung, he got off the sofa and rushed through the house, breaking everything his hairy hands can grab. He wanted attention. Lots of it. He didn't care how he'd get it. He just wanted all of it.

Unfortunately, despite breaking almost everything he could, he didn't hear any footsteps from the basement rushing to see what the crashing sound was. So, in desperation, he rushed to the basement door and tackled it open, lunging himself down the stairs and landed right onto the floor. Slowly, he got up, and noticed his master still stirring in the pot, with music playing right in his ears. Enraged, he got up, and ran towards him. He was getting closer and closer to the scientist, and then…

WHAM!

Without warning, he pushed him on his back to grab his attention, nearly injuring him. But that wasn't the worst part. Right as he pushed him, the man accidentally broke a glass container filled with black liquid. The scientist finally laid his eyes on his lab assistant, but quickly turned his head to the concoction when he heard sizzling sounds, much to the ape's disappointment. The ingredients in the pot were glowing pink, blue and green, and the water surrounding it was boiling mad, almost as if the heat below the pot was hotter than the sun. The man slowly shifted his pupils upward, and red the label on the glass container.

Chemical X. He accidentally added Chemical X into the concoction.

He quickly glanced down again, seeing the light getting brighter and the bubbles getting bigger. Without a second thought, he immediately ran away from the pot. The chimpanzee kept his eyes on him even when he ran. He could've just chased after him, but he wondered why he was suddenly running away after he pushed him. Cautiously, he turned his head towards the source, only to be greeted by an explosion right on his face…
