Project X-02

by a ship nerd

Historical AU similar to Selaxes 'Red Tails and Wilde Skys'. The Year is 1943, a Predator Axis genetic Experiment has gone wrong. Project X-02 is on the loose, and it has access to technology decades ahead of its time. The Allies and the Axis will have to put their diffrences aside to defete this foe.

This story takes place in a universe similar to Selaxes 'Red Tails and Wilde Skies'. (Go check it out if you haven't, it's a great story.)

I guess I should start at the beginning.

It was during the Predator Axis War, with the Predator Axis' advance finally being stalled and halted for the first time since the war began. It was a moral booster for many of the Allies' soldiers, and a disappointment for the Axis Generals. The Allies, were finally beginning to push the Predator Axis back.

Then they arrived.

They came from an island deep out to sea that was technically controlled by the Predator Axis up until 1938. Just a year before the war started. Although Zootopian scientists were also on the island along with secrets so secure that the guards that were posted there were not allowed to leave the island. Had everything on the island gone to the Axis' plan, they would never have been allowed to leave after their arrival. The secrets and experiments inside were supposed be slowly fed back to the mainland, to help the war that the Axis were planing.

But all did not go according to plan.

From December 4 to December 7 1938, there was a revolt on the island. One thing that the scientists were experimenting on was a genetic experiment, using a principle similar to cloning. It was originally known as Bio-Fusion. The combining of various animal species' DNA to create what many hoped would become the perfect workers, spies, or soldiers. The genetic project began in 1936 when the Olympics were held in Berlin. Many of the competitors' DNA was 'collected' in samples and brought back to the island.

It took over a year of consistent failures, a nonstop wave of dead losses; that last one being both literally and figuratively; before they finally created a mix of two species that were supposedly impossible to mix. Originally, the scientists would never have considered to mix what actually turned out to work; as the species were natural enemies; but they were getting desperate. Pluss they were running out of DNA to test on. Over a year of genetic experiments was not very good for DNA.

Anyway, the genetic experiment that created the first real success was labeled 'Project X-02'. And the scientific name of the animal was dubbed: Vulpes Oryctolagus Cuniculus. (bonus points if you can figure out what that is without looking anything up)

The island had appeared in 1918, just before the end of the first great war. Underwater earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused the land mass that became the island above the water, where it will remain for centuries. It was too late for the Axis to make use of the island's immense natural resources as the war came to an end. However, they managed to keep the island a secret and began various experiments on it throughout the 20 years it was in their possession.
