A/N: Hi everyone! If any of you read my (incomplete) backstory of Holley, I mentioned that I'd be doing a fic about a certain evil character when I got the chance, so here it is! Please R&R! :)
(If I get the spelling or terminology wrong I apologize, I'm American so I don't know all of them)
It was dark in the simulation; I always hated that because I could never see anything behind me or even in my peripheral vision, just what was illuminated in my headlamps. I couldn't tell, but I thought I was on my oil rig I had about a year ago. A year… is that all it takes? I saw the lemons coming out of the shadows. I had a holographic gun out and ready to fire, but I didn't exactly want to. The two in the lead were professor Z's main henchmen, Grem and Acer; I had grown to trust them during my time with them—they were dead now because of me. I backed up and then opened fire; I tried to keep in mind that they were just holograms, but it was too difficult. I still winced when they exploded, even if it was the third time I'd seen the exact same thing. I headed for the ramp, which was the only area on the rig that didn't fill up with lemons at this point. I sped towards the edge, where I was told a helicopter would catch me, and I jumped. The inside of it was open, and I saw Finn and Holley waiting for me. I landed inside and instantly the rig disappeared back into the dome it really was.
"Well done, Axlerod," Finn greeted me in his normal professional tone, "Another few weeks of performances like this and you'll be moved up a clearance level."
"Um, thanks," I said, still trying to get the simulation out of my mind, "If you don't mind me asking, why Grem and Acer for the leaders of the lemons?" I didn't like that last word, but I tried to contain my distaste.
"It's a random process," Holley jumped in, "they were well-known criminals, and even though they were both killed, they're still considered suitable opponents."
"But I've faced them for most, if not all of my recent simulations. Why not any others?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you," Holley replied, "Finn?"
"He doesn't have the clearance level yet," he said bluntly.
"Fine," I replied. Annoyed at them and at myself for not getting the clearance level I needed, I drove out of the dome and to my room. It was the only other place I was allowed to go besides the training room, so it was basically my refuge from anything and everything that has come my way over the past year. I've lost everything, but I've never felt so alive, and I don't know why. I'd broken more parts than I had in my entire life before, which is saying something. I looked out the window. I'd thought about breaking out of it, but I could never bring myself to. They'd brought me here because there were no other alternatives.
A/N: Well, that's the prologue. I'm writing the first part right now, so when you read this it won't matter. It'll be up tonight :).
