Here's a new story with one of my favorite OC's which spawned from a high dedication to this fandom, I hope you love her as much as I do.
All characters in this story aside from my own are property of Namco Bandai and Mr. Harada himself.
All I ever could remember was a forest, a gentle breeze, and a river close by. The scent of the damp ground mixing with the fresh air was pleasing to the senses, it always was. This faint memory was the beginning to every nightmare that I faced, before waking up in a cold sweat, in a dark room, alone with nothing but my thoughts, which were always the same.
Why am I here? Who brought me here? Where is home? What is this place? Who am I...?
The thoughts kept going through my head, the voices getting faster and faster until I let out a small scream. This room was cold, with different variants of gray on the steel walls. I could hear different screaming from different people, and it only forced me into being even more terrified about my situation.
Until the door finally opens.
I was always greeted by the simple "401, it's time." That was the name they gave me...poor choice of naming...yet it stuck, I was known to everyone as 401. The man grabs my hand and takes me to a new room, the lights are bright, and it's even colder than the previous room, only now the walls are white. I'm placed in a seat as my left arm as grabbed and looked at, rather carefully. I know I'm being watched, and they tell me not to worry, yet I know they're nearby, I feel their presence, and I feel their eyes staring deep into my soul. The man pulls out a needle, gently stating that it will only pinch a little, before I feel an intense pain from within. My head hurts, the room is as though it's spinning, it hurts to breathe, it's hard to see. Someone grabs at my face as my vision blurs, it's a man, saying that I must survive, survive to be free, the go to the place I claimed to call home. He tells me to accept the new body, and to give him what he wants, before I pass out.
I wake up again, something new takes over me, a mark on the back of my left hand, a pain coming from my eyes. I hear a voice, it's nearly booming as my senses reset.
Stand up.
I look around, no one is nearby, no one is even visible, I don't feel anyone looking at me, but I feel a faint presence.
I said. Stand up.
The voice again, who was this voice, what did it even want, my legs were bound, I couldn't move. My mouth opened, finally making words. "I...can't..."
Break your shackles.
"I'm not...strong enough..." It hurt to even speak at this point.
You don't know that...try.
I began to feel a higher sense of strength after I heard those words, I had to try, try and get out. I survived, which meant I could go home.
I heard the steel clamps begin to break apart as I allowed myself movement. I could finally stand, weakly, but I broke free regardless. I began to try and walk, not too difficult, but I still remained weak.
He's watching us.
I felt a hand touch my shoulder. A chill ran up my spine as I quickly turned to see a man before me, the very sight of him was frightening, his eyes nearly pierced through my soul, one was different than the other. I couldn't think, I couldn't even show fear...fear...what was fear?
He gave off a smile one would see as dark, cold, cruel, before speaking, he was the man who spoke to me earlier, about surviving to be free.
The vision always faded there, as that was far as my memories could go before I snapped back to reality. I'm in an office with a red clad woman and the man who made me who I am. A file was presented in front of my before the woman spoke. "Now then, let's get down to business." She spoke in a flirtatious tone, something I always noticed. "This man currently runs the Mishima Zaibatsu, and because of this, it's causing a lot of...let's call them issues. 401, this is your target, repeat to me the objective."
I opened my mouth, an empty, monotone voice came through my vocal chords. "Hack into Mishima Zaibatsu database. Infiltrate Mishima Zaibatsu. Elminate target: Jin Kazama."
The woman smiled almost wickedly, taking a hold of my face. "Failure to complete the objective is~?" I replied. "Extermination of Project 401." She let go of my face before turning me around and towards the door. "Deployment is in 10 minutes. Don't fail us now."
"Yes Commander Anna."
It's empty in my mind again as I'm deployed into the field. It's the outside world, and it's filled with different people, expressing things I don't understand. Joy, sorrow, excitement, fear, anger. What were those?
Don't you understand emotions?
"You took them from me...I understand only the mission."
You really are a good follower 401.
The air was mild, the sky was dark, everything about this area said night was in. I wanted to run, multiple thoughts racing through my head to run far away to break away from the shackles.
Eager to die? You know what you have to do...remember the mission...
My thoughts of running stopped, the mission. I had to focus on the mission. Complete it or die, that was my choice. Forever chained to G-Corporation as their assassin...this was my curse.
