Digimon or the tamers are not my property…they belong to Bandai.
Likewise, the universe of EVE Online belongs to CCP studios
Matt and Dante belong to me…
Summary: 25 years ago, the Caldari Corporation, Cerberus Industries, made a find that could have rocketed them up to the same level of wealth as the legendary O.R.E corporation. The find, a Terrestrial planet on the far end of a stable wormhole in the Shihuken star system, was found. Inhabited by lifeforms known as Digimon, first contact was a marvellous success. The corporation and the Digimon were able to live peacefully, allowing mining crews to live planet-side while mining barges farmed the asteroid belts. This ended when the last asteroid was exhausted. Cerberus turned their hungry eyes upon the rich resources of the Digimons homeworld. At first the digimon were chased away by the apparent superior forces of Cerberus's private military but this ended as the populace rallied and began to wreck mining operations. Requesting aid from CONCORD was out of the question as what Cerberus was doing was highly illegal. However it was only a matter of time before a Capsuleer or an exploring frigate would discover them. Once that happened, CONCORD would obliterate and imprison them. In desperation they turned to the almost mythical Jovian empire, masters of genetic manipulation. Their plan was to create a army of digimon/human hybrids that would allow them to more easily crush the locals. However the corporate board does not want an untested method used...so they have tricked a Capsuleer into bringing suitable test subjects...but they have no intention of releasing him from the contract upon delivery... What will become of these hybrids? Can they save the digimon world from Cerberus?
Digital Eden
Chapter 1
A small Amarr transport cruiser was floating through the galaxy. On board was a single girl, about 17-18 years old with purple eyes, and brown hair held up in a spiky ponytail. She would have been quite pretty if she weren't scowling and grumbling.
The ship's destination was Sarum Prime 3's orbital facility, the largest hub for industrial haulers, empire ships and what the girl was looking for, Capsuleer ships.
As soon as the cruiser landed, the girl stomped off, muttering to herself, "I'll show them. 'Don't know what's best for me', huh? I'll prove them wrong."
She stopped as she saw the sizee of the station. It was even more crowded then the capital back home. Pilots and traders could be seen, haggling for contracts, selling and buying goods. The Capsuleers could easily be spotted, standing apart in their own groups separate from the rest of the station's inhabitants. The girl had taken every test to join humanities elite, to be a Capsuleer. Her family had stepped in at the last moment, denying her from taking the last test, quoting how it was 'illegal to clone a member of a house.
They had told her that she was 'too important' to be out risking her neck for lesser people. But she could clearly tell by 'too important' that they just really want to her to find a husband and produce future heirs.
Most of the Capsuleers didn't even give her a second glance when she went up to them. She went into one of the small bars to watch and wait. She was shocked when a Gallente boy slightly older then her sat down. "Let me guess; looking to join a ship's crew. Never knew the Amarr lords n ladies let their kids do the tests. Last I heard all Amarr Capsuleers were in the navy first," he said.
The girl sniffed haughtily and said, "I don't need my parent's permission to go anywhere. I can do whatever I want."
"Heh...nice policy, just what I like in a girl," said, taking his hat off to reveal a metal socket in the back of his neck. "So...why join my crew?" the Capsuleer said, sounding amused.
The girl gaped for a minute and said, "Sorry, I didn't recognize you as the captain. I'd thought the captain would be more...battle-scarred."
"You shoulda seen my last clone," said the Capsuleer, pressing a few buttons to pay for the drinks. "So, I'll tell you what I tell everyone: I'm immortal, you're not, you still sure?"
The girl considered for a minute before saying, "Well, it's a lot better than what my parents would prefer me to do. Besides, I'm pretty sure I have some cousins that they could pass their fortune to."
"So, what's your name, Kid?" said the Capsuleer.
The girl glared at him and said, "Don't call me a kid, especially when you're only a few years older than I am."
"I was born 800 years ago, Kid," said the Capsuleer, in an amused voice. He noticed the kid's shocked look. "So, what's your name? Best know if I can't call you 'kid', kid," he said The girl quickly cleared her face of emotion and said, "Rika Nonaka. And who am I serving under?"
"Captain Lynch. People call me the Traveler," said Lynch, "Get your things to the Thrasher Class destroyer in Bay 31. We're leaving in one hour. Don't be late."
Rika stared in awe as Captain Lynch got up and walked off. She knew the Capsuleers were a veritable bunch, but she didn't think she'd be working for the famous Traveler.
--
When she saw the Minmatar destroyer in bay 31, she still couldn't believe it. "All the wealth of a Capsuleer and he can't fly anything better than a half rusted Minmatar junkheap?" she muttered.
A Gallente in a technician's uniform walked by her aboard. "You didn't have to sign up. This is just one of his ships," he said, laughing as the Amarr glared.
Rika said, "I never said I was quitting. I just thought he'd take care of his ships better, perpetually reincarnating or not." "It's tougher then it looks." said the technician.
Rika glared and walked onto the ship, almost bumping into a Minmatar. "Oh, pardon me, miss," he said. The guy was about the same age as Rika. He stood a head taller than her and had brown spiky hair as well as blue eyes. "You must be a last minute recruit," he said.
Rika glared at him. "Why should you care?" she said.
The Minmatar boy smirked. "Name's Ryo. The captain's been hiring at every station he docked at, at least since he hired me. You're the fourth person he hired."
"Sounds like he's not very picky," said Rika.
Ryo carried on smirking. "I was about to say the same thing." A hologram of Lynch appeared behind them. "Now then, kiddies. Play nicely."
Rika jumped, but Ryo wasn't fazed. "Don't worry, Captain," he said, "Just showing the new recruit around."
"Cool, introduce her to the others and give her the warp pills. We're getting underway shortly," said Lynch, his shape fading.
Ryo offered his arm and said, "Shall we?"
Rika gave a haughty sniff and said, "I don't think so." She walked on into the ship. Ryo shrugged and went after her.
--
The ship only had a small crew, about 20 adults in a mix from all the four empires. There were two other kids though, a Gallentian called Takato was the first to be introduced and another Minmatar called Henry.
Takato and Henry were also in Rika and Ryo's age group. Henry looked like the eldest of the small group and had blue-black hair and grey eyes. Takato had brown messy hair and redish eyes. He also wore a pair of goggles on his forehead.
Matt did his appearance act again behind them, smirking when almost everyone jumped. "Why are you doing that?" said Rika.
Matt grinned childishly. "It's a perk."
"Is there a reason you're paging us?" demanded Rika.
"Well, we got a job...from a Caldari Company. We're doing a...delivery to a wormhole in the Shihuken system," said Matt.
"Wait a minute," said Henry, "Is that where that company Cerberus is?"
Takato nodded. "It was in the Scope. They discovered a huge amount of Zydrine crystal there. Why are we going there?" he said.
"We'll be delivering materials and staff to them," said Matt, "Probably supplies for their experimentation or mining."
Rika didn't look convinced.
"Doesn't it seem kind of odd that a Capsuleer ship's pretty much being hired as a supply wagon?" asked Henry.
"It happens, anything from slaves for the Amarr theology council to robotics for a Gallantean corporation," said Matt. He pointed at a bottle on the table. "Take the pills. We have 2 hours of jumps ahead of us."
"I am not looking forward to this," said Takato, "10 credits say your body will gag before you can get them down."
A klaxon rang to signify the warp engine heating up before space outside rippled as the ship formed a warp bubble.
--
Kurata looked at the communication from his contact as his chief scientist came in. "Well...just got a communication. You'll get your test subjects," he said.
Dr. Xander simply looked at him. Jovians had long since bred emotions out their species but it seemed that there was a look of disapproval. "CONCORD will not approve of this. They will say this world belongs to its inhabitants."
"Technically, the inhabitants don't truly exist," said Kurata, "Last time I check, AI's themselves don't have legal rights or even copyrights."
"These are not Rogue drones, this 'WARDEN' is a Sleeper. The actions you want me to do resulted in my exile," said Xander in his cold calculating voice.
"They are still artificial beings," said Kurata, "Our ancestors created them, so we hold dominance over them."
"And the Capsuleer, he will not just stand by and let you do what you wish. He will inform the Assembly. CONCORD will come...and you will most likely die as a result," said Xander.
"Have you forgotten about our backup plan?" said Kurata.
"Ah yes...the clone body. You risk not only the wrath of CONCORD but the Capsuleers as well. It will work, but be careful what you wish. My shuttle leaves in 12 hours. Unless you wish the wrath of Jove, do not try to stop me as you do everyone else," said Xander.
--
Meanwhile, the Capsuleer ship had just finished warping to the Shihuken System. Captain Lynch was perfectly fine, thanks to being a Capsuleer. However, he felt a gnawing sensation in his gut that had nothing to do with warping.
It was guilt. He'd heard stories of how some of the older Capsuleers, such as himself, were prone to...voices. He was hearing one now. 'You hypocrite, you applied to be an immortal, to be a Capsuleer to help people. Do you even know what awaits them? DID YOU ASK?' said the voice.
Matt shook his head to rid himself of the sensation, but he did make a mental note that he was going to find out what was going on as soon as they landed.
The wormhole to Cerberus Corporations newest 'investment lay ahead...a rippling area of space. Years later, when asked, Matt would agree that he could have saved so much trouble for himself by simply turning around then and there. With a simple mental command, he willed his ship into the wormhole's grip. There was a shudder and the ship vanished from time and space, to reappear lightyears away.
When Matt saw the station, only his extremely extensive experience kept him from being phased. It was humongous, the type that could easily house a thousand people and still have plenty of room for more. The kids however were impressed. Usually the only stations in wormhole space belonged to sleeper drones and they were notorious for not welcoming visitors. Ryo however had seen stations before and had wandered to check the cargo.
The cargo hold was surprisingly bare. There were only a couple of crates there, but they were full of ammunition for the ship's cannons. "I don't get it," said Ryo, "What are we transporting?"
There was a click behind him. Ryo turned to see two of Matt's crew holding Caldari plasma rifles. "Look in a mirror, kid," said one of them and stunned him.
--
"What's taking Ryo so long?" said Takato, "He should have been there and back in 5 minutes tops."
"You're right," said Henry, "There is something weird going on." "Oh, you two are just being paranoid," said Rika.
The ship had flown into the station's main hold. Matt appeared behind them. "Ok...this is the place. Now we offload the cargo," he said, making them jump again.
Takato didn't jump this time. "Have you seen Ryo?"
"You...guys haven't seen him?" said Matt.
"He went down to cargo," said Takato.
Matt suddenly seemed cold. "Cargo?" he said, icily, before seemingly flickering as he sent a communication.
"Yeah, it's odd," said Henry, "He just went down and never came back. There isn't anything dangerous in there, is there?"
"Not really, just ammunition for the autocannons and the missile launcher. The cargo's elsewhere," said Matt.
"And where is that?" asked Rika, "And for that matter, what is it anyways?"
"Well...I'm not exactly sure. The job was to get some personal for the facility, but they wanted people who had taken but failed the Capsuleer tests," said Matt, smiling in a creepy way.
"Wait..." said Rika, "You're not saying we're..."
The door opened and a few of Matt's crew came in. "...the recruits...yup...sorry, kids," said Matt.
"Wait a minute," said Takato, "You can't just crate us like livestock."
Matt shrugged and said, "It's nothing personal. Besides, I bet the job there's not so bad. I hear the Caldari mega-corps pay good. Now, play nice or cause my men do not."
Henry glared at Matt and said, "You have no right to do this."
"Wrong, this is Null security, no CONCORD here," said Matt.
The three teenagers glared at the guards, but without weapons, there wasn't anything they could do. They were reluctantly led away.
--
A while later, Matt's ship was docked in the station. Matt and several of his men had walked off, with the four kids. Kurata and a dozen of his personal security were present. "Nice...good specimens at that," said Kurata. Matt glared coldly. 'Specimens' didn't sound like a job position that was fun.
"I expect that they'll be treated properly," said Matt.
"You could say that," said Kurata.
Matt went to walk by. "Then you won't mind me having a look."
A pair of Kurata's guard stopped Matt. "I mind very much," said Kurata, "This is private property. Please leave."
"Wrong, what'll you do...shoot me?" said Matt, grinning.
Kurata considered it for a minute and said, "Well, your clone-based reincarnation would make that a void threat. But I could still arrange for an unpleasant death like, say, being shot out into the vacuum. It wouldn't kill you permanently, but it would take you a while to get back."
"Not really, kill me and I'll come back in, say...a megathon?" said Matt.
"True," said Kurata, "But nevertheless, I demand you leave. Your business here is concluded."
"No, let me try again. I bet DED would be interested in what's going on here. It would be a shame if someone talked," said Matt.
"Yes, I suppose you're right," said Kurata reluctantly.
Matt grinned and walked by.
--
Kurata said, "Well...you probably heard about our find. A system with passive sleeper drones. It turned out this was made before EVE collapsed."
"Really? What's it like?" asked Matt as he pressed a random button by a display screen. The screen turned on to show what was apparently a drone's point-of-view flying over a green forest. Kurata glared and tried to turn it off. Matt pushed him away. "Oooh...what's this?" teased Matt as the drone flew over the ruins of a spaceport, people visible in the mist.
"Wait a sec," said Matt, "This world's inhabited. You do know that it's forbidden to mine here without a permit from CONCORD, right?"
Kurata glared at Matt and said, "We have a plan to deal with them. That's why we needed the kids."
Matt glared. He had no idea what Kurata had in mind but he knew acting now would just get him and probably the kids killed. He would get better, but they would not. "I think I've seen all I wanted here," said Matt, "I'll be leaving now."
Kurata watched as Matt walked off before calling his security chief. "We're going ahead with Plan B. Make sure our inside man and the ships are ready."
--
Matt headed for his capsule, talking to his first officer as he went. "Set a course for Concord Assembly as soon as we leave dock. Where's Dante?" he said.
"Er, I'm not sure," said the first officer, "I don't think he left the ship."
Matt nodded, climbing into his capsule.
--
Dante had just left the ship...or he would. He was headed for the lifepods. He pressed each pod's launch button as he went till he got to the last one. "Sorry, boss, Kurata pays more." he said, climbing into the last pod.
Matt's ship was heading for the wormhole at full speed. Suddenly, the engines suddenly stuttered and then stopped. Something had shorted them out as well as the weapons.
Matt blinked as he rerouted power from the emergency systems. The sensors all suddenly lit up as two 'Raven' class battleships, sporting the insignia of the Cerberus Corporation appeared. "You know, you don't have to die. Your 'Dante' saw sense, why not you?" said Kurata's voice over the comm.
Matt was shocked about Dante, but he kept a level head. "You're barking up the wrong tree," said Matt, "I have spare bodies, remember?"
"Let's test that." said Kurata and terminated the comm. At the same time a cruise missile from the first Raven hit the side of the ship, stripping its shields and half its armor. The second Raven fired a missile that went right through the ship's hull and blew the ship into two pieces, not counting the countless smaller pieces floating in between.
Matt's thought before his current clone terminated was about not bothering with CONCORD. He'd get a fleet together and park a Titan class down Kurata's throat.
--
Kurata watched as the destroyer exploded violently. "Did we get him?" he said.
The scientist at the other end nodded. "His pattern's downloaded perfectly. We'll find out if it took in a few minutes."
Kurata smirked to himself and said, "Let's see how his ego will take this."
--
Matt opened his eyes to see the familiar look of the inside of a CRU (Clone Rejuvenation Unit). "He won't know what hit him," he muttered.
'Good morning, pilot,' chimed the CRU's computer, "Your Cerberus clone has revived intact." Matt looked confused. He didn't own any clone banks on Cerberus stations.
When the CRU opened up, Matt immediately shut his eyes. It's as if he's spent days in a dark cave and was thrust forward into bright sunlight. He was used to this. It was the same with every clone and he'd been through it before. He shuddered as the memory upload cable in his implant retracted and he pulled himself out the CRU...and lost his balance unexpectedly. A speaker filtered voice turned on, "Ah...you're up, Subject 7."
'Subject 7?' He was a Capsuleer, not a lab experiment. He rubbed his eyes to help them get used to the light. Then he paused. Something about his face did not feel right. It felt longer and scaly. Not to mention his hands felt different too, like there were fingers missing.
Matt managed to get his vision back, hundreds of blurred shapes forming into a wall. He placed a hand out to pull himself up and stopped dead. His hand was not as he remembered it last. It was covered with blue scales and had only four fingers that ended with claws. "Ok..." said Matt uncertainly, "I'm obviously not awake yet. This can't be one of my clones."
"Oh, I'm afraid it is. You see, I don't want CONCORD paying a visit here, but simply killing you would be difficult. You realize how much it cost to hijack your memory download?" said Kurata's voice. Matt glared and gripped his head. All he had to do was break his neck to get out of this mess and back to his proper clone. "Oh...that's not so good. We don't know if you can even download from this body. Play along."
"I don't know what kind of twisted science project this is," said Matt, "But you can forget me helping out in any way."
"Oh, but you will," said Kurata, "You know, it is quite easy to create a clone with a different mind controlling it. In a matter of months, your name could be as good as mud. And I don't think you'll be able to fight this identity theft, especially as you are."
Matt glared but hung his head. Even if he did escape, coming home to a 40 billion bounty from CONCORD was no good.
"Alright, fine," he muttered, "Now can you turn off whatever illusion-creating gizmo you put in this clone? I'd rather think I'm going insane by seeing blue scales on me that no one else can."
"Well, the real challenge was transferring a human mind into a non-human lifeform," said Kurata, smugly.
"What? A non-human...no, no, no. You're not fooling me. You've got me hypnotized or put up some virtual reality that makes me think that I have blue scales. Well it's not gonna work, pal," said Matt.
"Denial is an ugly thing, Mr. Lynch," said Kurata.
"I'm not in denial!" shouted Matt, "Quit screwing with my head and drop this phoney baloney hallucination!"
"Perhaps you'll accept it better if you've actually seen what you've become," said Kurata. Kurata lowered the light to more comfortable levels, allowing Matt to see his reflection properly. Matt could not think of anything to say, but the image in front of him; it was real as the floor he was on.
What he saw was what looked like a large anthropomorphic lizard that had blue scales everywhere except for his chest and stomach. "Oh, I almost forgot," said Kurata, "Your new body comes with armor. You'll find it in the trunk by the CRU."
Matt turned and walked numbly towards the chest and opened it. Inside was a helmet, gloves and upper and lower leg guards. A nasty saber came out the top of the helmet/mask. They were all done up with a flame color scheme. "Tacky," Matt muttered, looking at the straps, "You don't really expect me to where this stuff, do you?"
"Either that or walk around naked," said Kurata.
Matt grumbled and said, "Speaking of which, you forgot to put pants in here, dummy." Matt didn't get an answer and started attaching the leg guards. He couldn't feel the tell tale vibrations of ships in dock or similar. He could feel shaking on par with a surface anti-matter reactor...a ground facility then. As he was putting the gauntlets on, he noticed that there were only three claws and they didn't look very opposable. Matt decided against wearing them for now, using their straps to tie them to his waist. All they were good for were as weapons.
--
Rika squinted in pain as her SAT (Suspended Animation Tube) opened with a pneumatic hissing. "Urgh...that stupid two-timing Capsuleer...when I get home..." she muttered.
She stumbled forward, only to fall over due to a completely new center of gravity. "Ow! What did that quack put into me?" she mumbled. Then she felt something brushing her legs. She looked back and saw a large fox's tail was growing from her spine and was brushing against her digitgrade legs that also resembled a fox's.
Rika stared for a second. 'Ok...must stay calm..." she thought.
--
Takato was woken up by two things: the first was a bloodcurdling scream and the second was the sound of his SAT opening. He winced at the sound of the screaming. For some reason, his ears were a lot more sensitive than normal. The sound disorientated him. That, and his rapidly-changed center of gravity, caused him to trip forward. The first thing he noticed was the anthro fox with yellow and white fur who was doing the screaming.
The two orderlies behind a false mirror watched numbly as Subjects 2 and 3 seemed to be having a screaming match. As another SAT opened, the first orderly, by unspoken agreement, turned off the audio on the monitors.
Henry groaned and said, "Will you guys keep it down? You're given me a splitting head-" His voice trailed off when he noticed the ears he was putting his hands over were ridiculously longer than before.
The orderlies watched as the third subject also joined in the air of sheer panic. "Told you...pay up," said his fellow employee.
That's when SAT #4 opened up. Ryo was completely out of it, since the last thing he remembered was being stunned in the cargo hold. As he stumbled out, he bumped into Henry, causing both of them to fall forward onto Takato and Rika. Ryo's new form was similar to that of a purple pterosaur. Despite everything, he wasn't worried. The drone network at Lynch's main base was an intelligent A.I with a vicious sense of humor. After you'd seen them, nothing worried you.
He looked at his new teammates, which were a yellow fox, a red dinosaur, and a beige rabbit with green markings. "Ok..." said Ryo, "Is this some kind of drug trip?"
"I don't think so. I really hope not," said Henry.
A speaker activated. "Ok...please comply...how are you feeling?"
"HOW AM I FEELING?!?" shrieked Rika, "I've been conned into a mad scientist's lab, I've been turned into some freaky fox thing, and I'm, I'm, I'M NAKED!" That last remark was made as she suddenly covered her chest with her arms and crossed her legs.
"Your form's gloves are in a chest beside your SAT," said the bored voice.
"GLOVES?!? I don't need gloves! I need a shirt. I need pants. How am I supposed to cover anything with just gloves, you pervert!"
"You're not human anymore. Get a grip," said the voice in the same tone, "You are to head out into the compound outside." A door opened, a forest visible beyond a wall outside."
Rika, it's ok," said Ryo, "These forms have nothing that need to be hidden. There's nothing to worry about."When Rika noticed the lack of breasts on her chest, she relaxed slightly. She opened up the trunk and put on the purple gloves that were inside.
"Let's get this over with," she grumbled, "Not like I'd want to stay in here."
Beyond the door was a yard, a large wall around it. Another of them, a blue scaled reptilian was leaning against the wall. He looked over at them then as quickly looked away.
"Well, at least we're not the only ones," said Takato. He walked over the blue lizard and said, "Hi, my name's Takato. What's yours?"
"Erm...I don't remember," said the reptilian.
--
Matt gulped when he'd seen them come in. He had his suspicions confirmed when one of them introduced himself as Takato.
The foxlike one glared at him. "You seem...familiar somehow," she said with Rika's voice.
"Never met you," said Matt, innocently, the same voice he used when talking to customs at stations.
"Now that you mentioned it, his voice does sound familiar," said Henry, who was the rabbit/dog/thing.
Matt glared. "Who do I sound like?" he said, getting an idea.
"Someone who was responsible for getting us in this mess in the first place," said Rika, not noticing her tail was lashing.
"The last thing I remember was being aboard a thrasher class. There was an explosion," said Matt.
"Wait a sec, fellas," said the last one who Matt had estimated to be Ryo, "This guy could have just been one of the crewmembers."
"But how did the ship get destroyed?" asked Takato.
Rika huffed and said "Well, I'm glad that rat Matt got what he deserved." Nobody noticed their new friend's eye twitch. "Maybe he was misled?" he said. "Wait, is that an implant on your neck?" said Henry.
The lizard quickly covered it up with one paw and said, "So? You all got one too."
The others all put hands to the back of their necks, feeling the covered metal sockets. "Those nutters turned us into freak Capsuleers?" said Ryo, confused.
Matt shook his head. "No...he didn't." "How do you know?" said Rika. "I know..." said Matt darkly.
"Well, what could they possibly want with us?" asked Henry, "I don't think they want ransom from our families. What kind of place is this, anyways?"
Matt looked around. Most of the buildings looked like they had been restored. "I haven't the slightest idea," said Matt, "But I'm guessing these new bodies have some sort of connection."
"Probably," said Ryo, "But what kind of connection? I don't even know what I am."
The group turned as a dozen members of Cerberus's personal security force, came out, followed by a familiar face. The others looked confused as Matt clenched his fists in anger. Dante smirked. "Ok, welcome to your new species. You are going to help us take this planet for the corporation. That is, if you want to have 10 fingers again," he said.
"What have you done to us?" growled Rika, baring her claws.
The guards all raised rifles at once. "Oh...don't be fooled. You may be tougher, faster, stronger, but a plasma blast will ventilate you as easily as everyone else," said Dante, smugly before seeing Matt walking forward. "Oh, tough one, think fast," he said and pulled out a plasma pistol, shooting Matt in the shoulder and sending him sprawling.
Matt winced and grabbed at his shoulder. He glanced at it to see the wound, but was surprised to see that his skin was flickering like a TV screen with bad reception before it went back to normal.
"These lifeforms you become, they're made from a mix of nanites and flesh and blood, old terra technology," said Dante.
Matt wiped off the blood from his hand. The wound was healing up, but it was still bloody. "I fail to see how turning us into talking animals could help us with taking over this place," he said.
"We're not sure how they got here, but they're tough. Not to mention there's a rogue drone AI called WARDEN helping them. You get to be our test: to see if you can fool them, then we send in troopers," said Dante. Matt glared and to his own shock, growled. Dante simply leveled his gun again. "Want one through the head instead?" he offered.
Matt growled, but didn't do anything. "Good, you learn quick. Of course, you've got other things to learn, like how your new bodies can fight and more. I'm sure you'll figure it all out," said Dante.
