Prologue
Three men walked into a hallway and began talking.
"Hey, how goes the test." A man in a burgundy suit said.
"Ah...I am sorry my lord. The first two have been failures." A man in a lab coat said.
"Two already heh? damn, well i doubt it would just roll over and obey."
"Yes, It is far too resilient, not even the berserker gave this much trouble. A new voice came. It was a man with long white hair and a white beard.
"Heh. This is a heavenly dragon. He has more of a will."
"The white one was way easier. humph."
"Well there was a reason for that after all...anyway back on topic...hmmm." The man adopted a thoughtful face placing a hand on his chin, rubbing his stubble.
"I believe we should try another." The man said walking over to a door. He effortlessly turned the hatch on the door and walked in.
The room was enormous, colored white with large lights at the roof. Inside the room housed hundreds of children all dressed in white hospital rags.
"Ugh, you should really clean this room sometime Valper." The man began walking further into the room. The kids began to scurry away from the man in fear.
"Seriously, barely been here a year and all of you are already like this? Teh, humans." The white haired man walked in, kicking a child out of his path to follow the man. The man suddenly stopped when he felt something overwhelming. He turned to look in the direction and smiled.
"Oh?" The man said in curiosity and surprise. "What! What! i wanna see." The white hair man hurried over. He followed the line of sight and saw what intrigued the man.
A boy, with long dark hair that covered the entirety of his face but even with his face being covered, the man saw something the boy. Something that all the other kids lacked, or didn't have. Vengeance.
The boy was unmoving, only sitting up hugging his knees while he glared at the men.
"Oooh, i see...Hes...Perfect." The white hair man smiled as well. "Viper sweetie, we found a match." He called.
The man called Valper came in and looked over to where they were looking.
"Are you sure? Judging from results, females have a much higher chance than-" The man in the suit placed a hand on Valper.
"Are you...questioning me? Human?"
"N-no sir, forgive me. And its Valper by the way sir."
"Bah i dont care, anyway Lets go Azy, we have more strings to pull." The white haired man began to walk away.
"Dont call me that..." The man began to walk away as well.
Valper straightens himself out before walking over to the boy.
"I don't know what was so special about you, but my bosses seem to see something."
"Tch, whatever, Now then, be a good boy...And try not to die so early."

"Hmm, He's...He's stabilizing!""No way...Its merging successfully!
In front of the scientists, a large crimson crystal was merging itself into the boy's body, who was hooked up to machines and strapped onto a medical bed.
The boy screamed in pain as he felt something enter his body forcefully at a slow rate. None of the experiments could have prepared him for this sensation. He could a fire burning inside his body, his bones, his very soul.
Hours later, the gem was fully absorbed into the boys body. He was still conscious and felt his whole body throb violently. He couldnt move, but he felt something coming up.
"...Gr...Gr...GRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The boy's body gave off a crimson glow before erupting into a crashing wave of red. "AHHHH! HE'S BERSERK! TA-" The man's head was cut clean off. Soon after the room was painted in blood and scattered body. In the center was the boy, hunched over chewing on a torn arm.
His pupils had grown huge and glowed bright green. His hair had spiked all over with two large hair spikes protruding from his head. His teeth were large and razor sharp similar to his hands that were covered in blood. He savagely turned around to see Valper clapping his hands with a very pleased and crazed smile.
The boy went on fours and his crimson aura spiked. "So...it was a success." Valper stopped moving and looked. "Amazing, Such power, even i, a human can feel it." He raised his hands in the air, pure bliss evident on his face.
"The new Red Dragon of Dominance, was born!" She shouted with happiness and began laughing.
The boy wasted no time and came with blinding speen, his claw raised but was suddenly forced down to the ground. When he looked up, his aura spiked even more. Black feathers fell gently around them as he pinned down by the one he hated the most.
"Whoa there pal, lets not too hasty." The man said holding the boy's arm behind his back. He snarled and the man laughed.
"Your 1000 years too early to even talk to me." With one motion, the man punched the boy that formed a large crater in the room. The aura around the boy dissipated and the boy lost consciousness.
After that, the boy was given an injection that was made to force hibernation. He was stored in an underground chamber where his body was still tested on to make him into a perfect vessel.

Fire was burning everywhere and smoke made sight near impossible. Many of the people inside was running around while some laid on the ground dead and bloodied with slash marks on their bodies. Out of the fire, came a man with red hair and blue eyes holding a boy in his arms.
(An: Young Zeke from Alchemist Code)
He looked up into the sky and saw a man with two bat wings in the air with his arms crossed. The man narrowed his eyes as he saw another man, with 12 black feather wings.
Valper was looking down at the ruined building looking at the mysterious man who came. He was extraordinarily powerful and Valper barely escaped with his life. Behind him, was his savior, who silently loomed behind him.
The man behind Valper was not so sure of the mysterious man below. He loved battle, but even he feared the man below, even with his own years of battle experiences. He came and nearly seared them all.
They disappeared in a bright flash and left no trace of their presence.
The man looked down at the young boy. The boy weakly opened his eyes and tried to move but felt so tired, like his bones was made of iron.
"You wont die, i wont let you. Ill make sure of that."
Fast forward 5 years
Bloodied bodies laid on the cold steel floor. Some of them were humans while others were fallen angels who had their wings sliced off along with an arm or a leg wretched off.
In the middle of the massacre was a cloaked figure who was walking over to an injured fallen angel. He held a bloodied longsword at his side. She tried to inch away but was backed to a wall.
The figure stood in front of her and crouched down to eye level. His eyes were a piercing green and had a scar that went down his cheek and another that went across.
"Tell me...Where is he.." He said said not asking, but demanded.
"I...I...dont know..." She said in a weak whimper. Without a word the figure sliced the angel's head clean off. He then looked back and head running down a hall and he stood up.
A man was running down frantically looking for an escape exit. He slipper on some blood and he fell to the ground with a thud. He slowslowly stood up and saw a shadow behind him and he began to shake.
"Pl-pl-p-pl-please dont kill me!" He cowered and covered himself with his arms shaking.
"Then tell me, where is your boss." He raised the blood caked sword up. "I-I...Dont know..."
"I see." The boy said and grabbed the man's neck and held him and began choking him. "Die."
"N...o...wHo...aRE...yoU.." He gasped out. This made the boy smirk under his tattered hood.
"A dead doesn't need to know" The boy kept his vice grip on the man's neck until he stopped struggling and went motionless. The boy showed no remorse as he threw the dead man's body to the ground, as if throwing away trash on the floor.
He walked down the hall and looked around each room and looked for any sort of clues. He needed a new lead and he wasn't leaving until he found something, if not anything.
He scanned the whole building until he came upon a room all the way at the end of the corridor. It was instead a steel door without a window albeit to the others that had a glass stained ones. It also had a card scanner where the door handle should be.
He punched the door and it came down easily. The room was dark with a dim light that lit up a desk. Next to it was a file cabinet and a few bookshelves with books and folder documents on them.
He searched around the books and documents but found next to nothing. He sighed and threw the book into the large paper pile that had accumulated in the center of the room.
The books all had the results of the experiments they were performing and other information such as how each body reacted and which age or gender was most ideal for which transfusion. He then went to the desk to check for anything else.
He sat in the rolling chair and rolled up to the desk. He looked under the desk but found nothing. He then looked at the small folded pieces of paper. He opened it his eyes widen slightly.
The note had described that they will be relocating a nekomata from the underworld, all the way to Japan. Seems the man who was in charge of this lab was supposed to be there.
He smiled. He had heard that the nekomata were said to be masters of senjutsu allowing them to be more in tune with nature. This can give him a kind of radar to find fallen angels and thus lead him to his end goal much quicker.
He put the paper into cloak and blasted a whole in the wall. When outside, he placed his hand on the floor and created a crimson magic circle. A large hawk, about 4 times his size appeared.
He hopped on to it and sat on its back with one knee up. The hawk then let out a screech before taking off into the skies.
While flying past the dark clouds of the night, he looked up at the crescent moon and that memory played back in his head like a broken record.
The burning of ash and other materials in the air. The bright flames that filled his view and nearly blinded him. And the man who changed his life. The man who gave him a second chance.
The man who gave him a name. He was no longer test no. 0416. He went by a his given name.
