Reina groaned as she slowly awoke from her unconscious state. She steadily opened her eyes and lifted her head while waiting for her eyesight to clear into focus. She jerked her arm but it was held aback by something she could not yet see. As her eyesight was regained she saw what it was that held her still, all her limbs were restrained to two poles, one on her left and one on her right. Metal bands held her feet to the floor and a steel slab pressed against her back to support her and ensure that she stood up straight, a metal belt tightened around her waist held her to the slate.

"nnggh"

She pulled slightly at her hands but it didn't budge.

Reina looked at her surroundings to see that she was incased by a glass cylinder extending from the ground to the ceiling in the corner of the room. Looking about she saw that the room was plated in tile and contained a significant amount of computer screens, large electronic science equipment, and other glass tubes placed on the opposite side of the room lined up next to eachother.

"W...where..."

"Oh, so your awake finally."

Reina turned her head to see a man with short black hair enter the room wearing glasses, dressed in a white lab coat and khakis. He held a clip board in his hand and a pencil in the other.

The man scribbled something down on a piece paper attached to the clip board and walked across the room to her tube.

As he got close Reina could see the letters "FHEC" imprinted on the chest of his coat.

She suddenly came to a shocking realization.

"I assume you are the one responsible for all the attacks on the Digimon villages?"

"Yes, that is correct." The man slid his pencil behind his ear and stuck the clip board under his arm.

Reina glared at him angrily "Do you know how much sorrow and destruction you have caused! I'm here to make sure you stop and tell you to leave immediately! Your not welcome here anymore!"

"Oh good heavens no, I cant do that. What I am striving to achieve here is way too important to abandon now."

"Achieve? What are you trying to achieve! Why are you doing this! Where are the digieggs that you stole! What are you doing with them!"

"Now now, don't get too worked up. I need your heart rate at a stable condition." He gestured his hand to a monitor in front of her tube.

"But I guess I can let you in on the most amazing discovery in all of man kind, you will be a great help in my research after all." He said with a glimmer of pride in his voice.

"I will never help you." She sneered

"Well you don't seem to have much choice do you?"

The man turned away from reina and walked towards one of the large computers.

" As I assume you already know, these creatures that inhabit this world have an incredible amount of power that we humans could not even dream of acquiring. And yet they are nothing but streams of data. How much these creatures are capable of is quite annoying in the eyes of a scientist. It just doesn't seem fair. All that power is wasted on these...

... glitches in the universe. "

He arrived at a table with multiple nobs, buttons, and screens. He set his clip board to the side and started to press some buttons.

"I first became aware of these creatures a couple years ago when a small group of children came through the barrier from this world. At the Time I was a scientific specialist working with the crew in charge of figuring out how to explain what was the discovery of this other digital world I became intrigued. I immediately put together a team of people from other departments who were also curious about these occurrences and together we scoured the earth for weakened places in the barrier. And when I happened to find some, I opened them up with a special device I created. Upon entering this world I immediately started to study it's inhabitants and I was amazed by their capabilities. But the real question was, what I would do with this information once I have gathered it. It was at that moment that I had a stroke of genious!"

The man pressed a few more buttons and a holographic screen appeared in the middle of the room. It showed two separate forms, one of a human figure and the other looking like that of a golemon. The two holographic figures moved closer together and merged into one large, indescribable monster.

Reina could not believe her eyes.

"Imagine, military soldiers with the power to gain bulletproof skin upon will, or armies with the power to change into skyscraper tall creatures with missiles on their backs in the midst of battle. And of course, countries will pay top penny for my research just so they can get a jump on their enemies." He chuckled.

"I..I cant believe what Im hearing.. You want to make human weapons just so you can make a BUCK ?!"

"Well of course, why not?" He responded with a smile.

Infuriated, Reina pulled ferociously at her restraints.

The man turned to reina and smirked at her tedious efforts.

He lowered his head slightly, making the glare in his glasses hide his eyes.

"I really am glad you are here, you are the most important piece in helping me put all this together. I really am thankful. Now shall we get started?"

Reina could feel fear creeping up her throat, it gaged her so much that she could not respond.

The man turned some nobs in front of him and many hatches opened up on the ceiling above Reina. Multiple mechanical arms descended all around her, moving as if they were scanning her.

Beads of sweat formed above her brow as she continued to yank at the chains that held her to the metal rods at her sides

"Hmm, I cant seem to pin point what type best suits you... I need to determine which digimon type you are best compatible with to make the synchronization process more sustainable"

"Wh...When I get out of here you are going to seriously need medical attention when I'm done with you!" Reina yelled hesitantly.

"Im guessing a more ecstatic element might suit you. Lets try electricity shall we?"

With a turn of the nob, a case next to the tube reina was held captive in started to make noise. A large rumbling sound came from it following the thump of a digiegg falling into the case.

The egg glowed for a short period of time, then dissolved in a burst of light.

Without any time to process what had happened to the egg, Reina was shot with multiple lightning bolts extending from the mechanical hands that dangled around her.

"AAAAAAGH!"

The volts of electricity continued to shoot through her entire body, leaving a painful tingling sensation all over her that didn't stop.

When the mad man finally turned off the beams the pain still remained. She drooped her head down panting while she struggled to stay conscious. Her eyesight once again returned to a blurry state and this time both of her hands were paralyzed in tingly numbness.

"Y-...your...a...monster..."

The man raised an eyebrow as if he was surprised.

"You really are persistent huh."

Just then reina heard someone else walk into the room. She could still not see that well but she could make out that the newcomer was also wearing a white coat.

"Sir Maxwell, we have finished the adjustments to the new worker's data"

*...Maxwell...*

"Ah, thanks."

She watched as the blurred figure of the second man exited the room.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you about that didn't I. Well I discovered that each digital monster has its own data code that could be rewritten or changed. So I placed a team of hackers and code writers to help see how we could use that to our advantage. Once They figure out how to hack a creature's code, they change its digital make up so that it becomes more susceptible to my will. Once I'm done with you, I assume ill be able to do the same once your body is infused with data."

Reina's eyes were starting to clear again, and she could now see that he was no longer at the control panel he once was but he was right in front of her. With only a layer of glass between them she felt that if only the glass was non existent, she could reach out and easily grab his collar. He was so close, she could see the pure insanity within his dark green eyes.

She struggled to muster another insult. "You... You don't deserve to be called a human being." Not that it was going to help anything, but she could not let him see that she was weak. Not for one instant.

He only smiled

"My hypothesis states that it should take a few tries until something occurs. But if you don't react by the third trial, we will move on to the next element."

The man she now knew went by Maxwell, placed a finger on the monitor in front of her and without warning, the zaps of lightning started again.
