Project: Ccapac Apu

Awakening

Journal entry # 9: entitled The Awakening of Ccapac Apu.

Director Goodwin has finally caught wind of my illegal experiments here in the facility. I suppose it was only a matter of time, with all the missing prisoners and the growing rumors of the facility being haunted. It seems that he has decided to place an order of my arrest and I will most likely receive the death penalty.

It appears that he is personally leading the army of security officers from the city in order to apprehend me; meanwhile another incident had accrued here in the facility. An explosion occurred within the holding cell where Kiryu Kyosuke, code name Ccapac Apu, the only candidate who survived my experiments was kept under observation.

Though the experimental process was a success within him. There was still no way of knowing what kind of side-effects the process would have on the subjects, both body and mind. Until we learned more I decided to keep him in solitary confinement under constant supervision for the time being.

I emerged from the rubble that was once my office and immediately headed in the direction of the commotion. As I made my way the holding cells, I met up with the Director, we exchanged unpleasant looks toward one another before we saw something beginning to emerge from Ccapac Apu's cell. Though I could not believe my eyes, I knew instinctively that it was the host of Ccapac Apu himself… Kiryu.

The power of the Earthbound has enabled him to survive the explosion with out any scratches, nor any burns for that matter. There appeared to be some kind of dark aura surrounding his entire body. My body could not help but fall to its knees by this evil aura, the air around me became thick, making it difficult to breath and a cold chill filled my entire body with fear. I have never felt such a thing in my entire life, a feeling of emptiness and death.

The subjects once yellow criminal mark on the left side of his face that was given to him when he first arrived to this facility had changed to a darker color. The left arm was glowing brightly with a strange mark that was never there before, until now that is, the mark on his arm appeared to resemble mark of the giant that I have once seen during my travels in Nazca, the symbol of Ccapac Apu itself. His entire chest also contained the scar that he got from the results of my experiments, since then it has shown no sign of healing, a permanent mark, perhaps my own signature.

His eyes though, his eyes were the most terrifying sight of them all. They appeared almost pitch black now. Once again he stares at me those eyes, those now evil eyes. Last time he looked me his eyes only showed no sign of life, but now as he looks into my eye with his, I see nothing but anger and hatred. Is this the power of the Earthbound God finally awakening?

He then turns his attention to Goodwin. My ears were still ringing from the impact of the explosion however that I was unable to hear what Goodwin was saying to him, but I could tell that he was preparing to attack. Ccapac Apu instinctively leapt towards Goodwin in order to attack him first. Goodwin was completely unprepared for the assault and was easily overpowered. Ccapac Apu managed to rip off Goodwin's right arm, rendering immobilized due to the sever pain.

I though for sure that Ccapac Apu would finish him off at that very moment. Goodwin had lost a large amount of blood from his injury and was unable to defend himself at the time and fell to the ground unconscious. Ccapac Apu instead chose the opportunity to escape from the facility; he then disappeared into the night without a trace.

It would have been foolish of me to go after him in an attempt to retrieve him. As he is now, I could not begin to comprehend the extent of his awaken powers. He could very easily destroy me and anything else in his path. I will monitor his movements at a distance instead; perhaps allowing him to move freely within the outside world will enable me to get a better understanding of his abilities and an opportunity to witness his true potential.
