chapter 1: corrupt


When he wakes, it is cold, dark and he is alone.

The wires and myriad of screens and monitors are as familiar as his own hands and the steel workbench he lies on is more intimate than his own bed. He's been here a thousand times before.

So why did it feel wrong?

"You're awake."

He turns toward the distorted voice the best he could but his head is held captive in a clamp meant to secure him for precise operations. He cannot match the voice to anyone in his data banks. In fact, there were an alarmingly large amount of files that were missing or corrupted. Were they important? He'll never know.

"Do you know who you are?" The voice commanded his attention once again. He had to obey.

"Yes." He croaked out.

His throat felt raw. Had he been screaming?

The questions continued.

"Who are you?"

"Genos."

"And what is your purpose?"

All his sensors focused on one programmed goal that flashed before his eyes with absolute clarity.

"To destroy all heroes."
