Okay. Now our story's main subject will appear in this chapter's second half. But please, don't just skip over the first part because of that. I'm trying to make every part of this story important! Enjoy, and HERE WE GO!
-United States Space Colony ARK-June 19th, 1952-Scinetific Operation Room-
"Be careful. I don't want my creation destroyed." Black Doom telepathically spoke through the glass. ON the other side several humans and Black Arms aliens alike were seen carefully cutting open the back of Japheth's body on one table. ON a different table, a specially prepared mutated creature was laid, it's own back spliced open while dark red blood coated the back of it's body.
"I knew his death wouldn't go without purpose." Gerald said to himself, standing to the side of the 8 foot tall alien being and starring through the glass also at the scene.
"What?" The tall alien being turned to him, his voice carrying a tone that demanded an answer.
"It doesn't matter." The old scientist remarked. Things had taken turns for the best and worst on the same day, and he was somewhat numb to things such as voice tone.
"We have successfully removed the spinal cord from the back of the test subject." One of the masked scientists remarked, stepping away from the process and talking through the microphone.
"Good. Good to know." Gerald said back.
"Be careful not to damage the new brain of the creature." The ruling extraterrestrial remarked, and on the other body several Black Arms soldiers carefully removed the brain of the mutated hedgehog from the back of the creature's skull.
"It will be made of Alien, Animal, and Human DNA." Three eyes from the alien faced the Doctor. "And fueled primarily by Chaos Energy. It will be perfect."
"I thought you humans didn't believe in perfect."
Gerald looked at Black Doom, and snorted. "It will be as close as we can possibly get."
As the two species conversed, through a small window on the door into the observation room from one of the ARK's halls, a pair of young eyes stared. One Blue, One Brown. And they watched in fear.
-? POV-
Darkness. Warmth. Seclusion.
'What am I?'
Perfect. Pure.
'What is this?'
Life. Warmth draining away. Cool., colder. A Light pressing sensation. Open your eyes.
My eyes opened. I was inside…something. The surroundings were tinted various colors. How did I know this? Why was I asking questions?
The clear substance is separating, raising. Another light press of coolness from beyond the solid, clear substance.
"He's alive."
Alive? This is life? Why am I here? Who is this?
"The Ultimate Lifeform. We've finished it."
One of the animate things moved toward my location, the extensions of his hands making a slight clicking noise. "Can you hear me? Nod first."
Nod?
"If you can hear me, move you head up and down."
I moved my eyes, looking down at myself. I was still bolted in by somewhat warm metal around my arms and lower legs. Raising my eyes, and my head back up, I looked at the thing that had communicated with me.
"What…am I?"
He stepped back, and then with his hand slapped the middle part of his leg. Following that was a series of strange sounds from his throat and mouth.
"Ha! You are perfection!"
A different being came up to me, it sprouted strange gray matter from it's face. "You are…The Ultimate Life form."
I would of moved, but my hands and legs were still connected to the object I was in. "What?"
"All will be explained later." His hand moved out of sight of the thing I was in, and a high pierced noise was heard, followed by a stranger sound from the metal that held me as it removed itself from me. "Come with me." The other hand of the being reached forward, and with a bit of effort, I moved my hands forward to touch his, trying to mimic his movement.
When they touched, I felt that his hand was cold, but not forbidding. The extensions of it's hands wrapped around mine, and the being slightly tugged. I moved my leg forward, the one that was underneath my outstretched arm.
My feet landed on the ground outside of the object I came from, and my foot landed on the ground. Extensions from it clinked against the floor, and when my second foot touched the ground, I started to find myself moving beyond my control.
"He still needs to balance his equilibrium! Grab him!"
Two other beings reached forward, one touching my other hand and the other touched the sides of my body. They touched me steadily, and led me forward.
I know, short, but I think this in itself was good enough of a starting chapter. I think it was at least. Review, because I still have more to do! And one more time, HAPPY SHADOW DAY!
