Time to reach another shocking episode of Doomed Titans

Guess who's back? That's right. After two weeks on family vacation, I'm officially back. Man, Canada was great. Quebec, Montreal, Kingston, Toronto, the Falls, they were all amazing. Though I never got the chance in checking out an amusement park around there, I still had a great time. Now I have college to attend and that means that these updates will take a long time again. But don't worry; once I have the time, I'll update my chapters as much as I could. Now, what happened at the last chapter. Still no reviews from any of the readers, but at least the hit counter's pretty descent. Just 39 hits and it keeps getting better and better. I'm just glad people like to read my stories, but I would like to see some reviews from people. So if you got anything to say to me about this chapter, some good thoughts I hope, please feel free to review me. Time to reach another shocking episode of Doomed Titans. While the Titans were resting up, Alex was getting suspicious about Cray's interventions. When he went to investigate what the good doctor was doing, he discovered something truly shocking. What is it he discovered? Well that's something you have to see, or read, for yourself.

Chapter Thirty-seven: The Unexpected Truth

Delta Labs, Cray's Laboratory, Dorm 2: November 16, 2145, 4:08 A.M.

Hours pass and the Teen Titans were sleeping peacefully in their beds in one of the dorms Cray assigned them to. But there was someone who wasn't getting any once of sleep what so ever. In the end of the bed next to Raven's, Alex was looking up at the ceiling, piecing together what transpired. For all he knows, Cray told him and the others that the only way to destroy Betruger's main teleporter in Delta 4 is to shut down one of the stabilizers and the whole portal would be offline in an instant. But the doctor told them that they needed some rest before they could begin the attack. Not only that, but also he or the team wouldn't check up on how Beast Boy's condition is doing, nor keep watch on him in case something bad happens. None of this made any sense period. Why would Cray wanted them to sleep for a bit, and why restricting access to their teammate? Thinking all of this through, he decided that he needed sometime to himself. So he got out of bed and quietly left the dorm, making sure the Titans won't wake up from the steps he's making.

Five minutes later, the guardian was in the common room where the science team takes breaks once in a while. There were cabinets for storing goods and records, a fridge to put more food in, a soda and snake machine on the opposite end of the fridge, and a table at the center with chairs around it, for hanging around and eating. Alex sat on one of the chairs with a can of Robo Cola in his hand, drinking from it to keep him up at night. Also on the table was his PDA, recording his audio log about what transpired to him and his team hours ago.

Alex: "This is audio log of Alexander Kelly dated November 16, 2145. Now I know I haven't recorded this in a while, but there's a lot of things that have changed since then. For one thing, all Hell broke loose, literally."

He stopped and took a sip of his soda, being how thirsty he was, then went back to his log.

Alex: "Now don't get me wrong, this is what really happened. You see, the UAC was conducting an experiment on the teleporters. As always, Betruger was leading this crazy operation of his and was using the Soulcube as part of the experiment. But when that happened, the stabilizers of the main portal started to fail and demons from Hell came out and start attacking everyone in the facility. The Titans and I were suppose to had to Gamma Labs to reach the Ark and take them back to the past to save their city. But when this incident occurred, we were backtracked a lot and were stopped from one threat after another. Now we have to reach level 4 in Delta Labs and destroy the main teleporter where the demons were coming out before the fleet from Earth gets here."

He took another sip of his coke to clear his throat before he continued to talk.

Alex: "As far as I know, Dr. Cray said that in order to stop Betruger, who is responsible for this mess in the first place, and shut down the main portal we have to blow up one of the stabilizers so that way the portal would no longer open up. At first I believe that it was the only option we have left. But the problem is that Cray wanted us to take a rest before we could head to Delta 4. I can understand that he wants us to be prepared for the coming battle, but the more we wait the sooner Earth's fleet come here and gets mauled by the demons. Not only that but one of the Titans, Beast Boy, was injured and is in the medical bay for recovery. I wanted to keep watch on him incase something bad would happen to him. But Cray said that he'll take good care of him. I could respect that and all, but as a guardian I have to take good care of the team and keep an eye on them. But Cray is disrespecting the rules of a guardian and putting things in his own hands. None of this makes sense! Why is he disobeying those types of order? What is he up to?"

Before he could finish up his log, he heard two voices from outside the commons room. From what he could understand is that the voices were that of Crispy and Ramirez.

Crispy: "Okay, everything's ready for Cray to start this project. All we need is the rest of the Titans to begin it. Are they asleep already? Cause I don't want to wait a few more hours until then."

Ramirez: "Well they should be in their dreamlands by now. We should transport them to the lab. Now what about Beast Boy, is that teen ready for Pinky yet?"

Crispy: "Cray said that he's just about ready for today. Soon we will have the tools needed to mow down those brutal beasts."

Ramirez: "That's good to hear. And what about Alex? He is the guardian of the Teen Titans and he will suspect something going down."

Crispy: "What about him. I know he's been a big help for us and he and I were a great team when we fired our cannon torrents back at the entranceway. But he just an expandable asset just like everyone else that fought and died. I will be a matter of time before he falls to his death."

As the two walked away, both Rhino Squad members didn't notice that Alex was listening in through the commons room doorway. When he heard all of this, he wondered what is Cray up to. So he looked down to his PDA, which was still on audio log mode and said one last thing before he turned it off.

Alex: "Well there's only one way to find out. End of log."

He stopped his recording and left the common's room, looking around to see if there was anyone around. When the hall was cleared, he walked down the hallway to reach the med bay where Beast Boy was recovering. After passing a couple of doors, he found the entrance to the medical bay. But when he enters the door, he looked at the bed and notice that green changeling was gone. He searched the area to see if he's around, even checking the bathroom, but there is no sign of his comrade anywhere. After checking the room, he scratched his head and pondered all of this.

Alex: "Huh… Now where did he go?"

Thinking this through, he thought it was the best option to talk to Cray about this. So he left the medical bay and headed to the monitoring room where the doctor spends his time in. As he walked down another hallway the guardian entered the main room and started to ask Cray about what happened.

Alex: "Hey Cray! I need to ask you something. You told me you have someone that would take care of Beast Boy. But when I entered the med bay, not only wasn't there a soldier from Rhino Squad keeping watch, but the changeling was nowhere to be found. You mind telling me where they run…"

Just as Alex entered the room, he noticed that the entire place was completely empty, with no sign of Cray or the rest of the science team anywhere.

Alex: "off to… Dr. Cray?"

He searched the monitoring room to see if the doctor was around. But just like Beast Boy, he too wasn't around at all.

Alex: "Okay, this is getting stranger and stranger by the second. Where did Cray go this time?"

He tries to figure out what's happening around here. That was until he heard a door opening right next to him. Quickly he hid behind the pillar and took a peek to see who was coming out. What he saw was both Cray and Karmak coming out of the door and talking about something.

Dr. Cray: "So, everything's going according to plan. Are the others ready?"

Dr. Karmak: "Most of Rhino Squad are about to transport the team to Marcus's lab. Once they are moved, we will begin our operation."

Dr. Cray: "Good to know, soon we will have all the resources we need to put an end to this nightmarish massacre."

Dr. Karmak: "There's one thing that still bothers me."

Cray stopped and turned his wheelchair around to get a good look at his assistant.

Dr. Cray: "And what is it?"

Dr. Karmak: "It's the Titan's guardian, Alex. He's suppose to take good care of them, instead we're keeping him in the dark completely. I think we should let him know what we're really doing."

Dr. Cray: "No, we can't let him know what we're doing. He'll ruin everything. It's best we keep this a secret as long as we can. He finds out, he has to get use to living with it."

Alex listened in on the two on their conversation and was getting much curious about what they were saying. They've been talking about this project ever since he and his team entered the secret lab and had a lot of questions in his head. Like for instance, what is this secret project they've been talking about and why hide it for the Titans and himself? Putting all the pieces together, he knows that there's someway of finding out. Soon as Cray and Karmak left the door Alex quickly got out of his hiding place and ran silently to the door before it closes. When he finally made it in and the door closed behind him, he ran down the hallway to find out what the good doctor was hiding. After a good five minutes of passing many doors, he stopped and took a look around the place, trying to figure out where to go to solve this mystery.

Alex: "Now let's see… Cray was in this hallway before he entered the main room. So he must've been in one of these doors around here somewhere. But where?"

He ponders all this through, seeing if he could guess his way by randomly picking a door. Suddenly, he heard gears turning from behind and turned around to see what's all the commotion. That's when he heard a beeping noise followed by the sound of the door opening. Soon he heard it, he realized that he's in very deep trouble.

Alex: "Ah shit!"

He quickly turned his head left and right to figure out a way to get out of this situation. Meanwhile, the door opened up and out of it was Marcus Sponzeraly, also known as Pinky. It appears that he was wearing surgery gloves and a shower cap, like he was getting ready for a surgical operation. He walked down the hallway and headed to the main area, wanting to tell Cray what he discovered. What he didn't know was that he passed the very spot where Alex once stood, like he disappeared out of thin air. But actually, the guardian was up on the ceiling with his hands and feet on the top section of the walls and was trying to hold on as long as he could. He watched on as Pinky walked past him from above and strolled down the long hallway. Of course he didn't know that he was starting to sweat, letting drops of water coming down his face. That was when the first drop went off his face and landed on the floor. Pinky heard that sound and turned around to see where that was coming from. When he notices the drop, he approached it and bent down to get a closer look at it. When he did, another drop landed on top of his back of the neck. Surprised by the sudden felt Marcus placed his hand on it and rubbed it. As he did that, he looked up to see where it was coming from. And with the guardian on the ceiling waiting for the scientist to leave, Alex knew that he's completely screwed. But before Pinky could get a good look at the ceiling, an announcement was made.

Dr. Cray: "Mr. Sponderaly, please report to my office at once. I need the results you got from our first test subject."

Pinky sighed when he heard the announcement and stood up heading to the main area of the lab.

Pinky: "Coming, coming…"

He walked to the end of the hallway and turned to where the monitoring room is. As he vanished, Alex jumped down from the ceiling and landed on the floor feet first. He looked back at the direction where Pinky left and sighed in complete relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Alex: "Whew… That was way too close for comfort. What in the world was Pinky doing in that room? It looked like he was getting ready for surgery or something."

He looked back at the door Pinky came out of and wondered what was inside.

Alex: "Looks like I'm going to have to see for myself."

He headed to the doorway to see what the scientist was hiding. But when he approached the door, there was a strange buzzing sound and the door didn't open. He looks at the panel next to the door and noticed the red coloring, meaning that it was completely locked. He noticed an icon below the UAC logo that says, "Enter Access Code." So he clicked on it and the number code appeared waiting for the code to be installed. Starring at the code bar, the guardian shook his head and sighed miserably.

Alex: "Looks like I have to punch in a certain code to gain entrance to the lab. But the only person who knows the code is Pinky. I could go ask him, but then he'll get suspicious in what I'm doing. Maybe…"

He put his hand into his back pocket and took out McCan's mini computer that was used for hacking. Starring at the device, he looked back at the panel and thought to himself.

Alex: "Well, at least McCan's computer will put to some good use."

He pulled out the cord from the back of the computer and inserted it into the panel. He then started to type a few key sequences and waited for the response. That's when the computer started to analyze the codes through the system. After a couple of seconds, McCan's computer punched in the correct code and within instance, the door unlocked itself and opened up. Watching all of this, he was completely surprised by this, yet glad it worked.

Alex: "Yes! I'm in…"

He put the mini computer away and entered Pinky's lab. When he was in the lab, he took a good look around and wanted to know what he and the others were hiding. All he saw was just a desk with a laptop and paperwork on it, cabinets filled with hard covers and books on research, an examination table filled with potions and abotimy equipment for examination, and freezing tubes with scattered remains of demonic body parts. But so far nothing out of the ordinary.

Alex: "Hmm… Doesn't look like much. Where are the secrets?"

He walked around the room and see if there's anything out of the ordinary. As soon as he approached the desk, he spotted a PDA resting on the desk, next to a file labeled, 'Top Secret'. Taking a closer look at two items Alex had a curious look on his face.

Alex: "That's strange… Wonder why there's a file that's labeled top secret on Marcus's desk?"

He then looked at the PDA and thought what's in there.

Alex: "Let's see what Pinky's doing."

He picked up the PDA and scanned through the usual options, E-Mail, video library, the works. But when he checked through the audio logs, he discovered a recently recorded entry with a title that said, "The Changeling." The guardian looked at the title and was getting more odd.

Alex: "Odd… Why does that say The Changeling?"

Thinking this through, he used the touch pen to click on the play button and the audio log started to play.

Pinky: "This is the audio log of Marcus Sponzerlary, A.K.A. Pinky, dated November 16, 2145. I was able to do an examination with one of the Titans named Beast Boy and I got to say the results were truly fantastic."

Alex blinked a couple of times and was getting a fishy feeling somewhere in his gut.

Alex: "They were using Beast Boy for something important?"

He looked back at the file that was lying on the table and thought it wouldn't hurt to take a quick peek. He picked up the file, opened it up, and sees what is inside. While he looked through the papers, the audio log continued to play.

Pinky: "While I started to gather his blood and tissue samples and study them, I realized that his genetic structure was a unique kind. His genetic DNA structure reshapes itself constantly, which could explain his ability to shape shift into animals, including ones on the extinct kind. Not only that, but when I made a small incision on his piece of his skin, it quickly regenerated itself to the point that it's completely healed. In truth I find all of this very impressive."

Alex looked through the papers and realized something completely off. Within the file were papers of the Titans bio's, pictures of their actions throughout the facility, mostly Delta Labs, and contracts for a strange project he never seen or heard of before. Looking at all of this, Alex was getting a clear thought at what is going on, but not getting around it yet.

Alex: "How odd… What is Pinky doing with all of the Titans bios and pictures? And what's with the contracts?"

He read through one of the contracts to see what they're all about. From what he could understand, the contracts are meant for a project called the Titans Weapon Program and it was meant for creating weapons and medical products based around the Titans powers and abilities. Now where did he hear that before? As he continued to read through the contract, the log kept on playing.

Pinky: "We never really thought the this team, the Teen Titans, posses all the abilities we need to create weapons the moment they were discovered close to the ruins of Jump City. But now, I believe we have a chance to stand up against these demons and stop Betruger from taking over the world, or worse yet, the universe. There's one thing that still in the way, the Titans guardian Alexander Kelly. Being that he's the son of the master sergeant he's becoming a real thorn to the operation. As understanding as it seams, he's suppose to keep watch and protect the Titans by any means necessary. Even through these hard times, he was able to keep them all in one piece. But now things have changed. The team is needed to perform a few experiments of ours and this guardian is in the way of our plans. Cray's idea of keeping him in the dark seem like the best option so far. But what would happen if he starts investigating and find out what we're really doing. If that happens, then I'm afraid we have no choice but to take care of him."

As the log finished, Alex read the rest of the contract and looked down at the signature line. Though most of the names were unknown to him, he saw one signature that belongs to Dr. Cray. But down on the last signature, he discovered the name of Thomas Kelly, his father. Looking at that signature, Alex was stunned by this.

Alex: "That's interesting, since when did my dad signed this contract?"

After observing all of it, he then remembered something that could be familiar with what he saw.

Alex: "Wait a second…"

He remembered about what his father said before the invasion, about a special project that the UAC was conducting. That's when flashed of images went into his head about what Kelly said and Cray's lab while multiple voice echoed through.

Sergeant Kelly: "After the Titans were discovered, the Board of Directors on Earth were kind of interested in them.

Dr. Karmak: "Once we get the data we need from the Primitive, we'll move on to phase two."

Sergeant Kelly: "After going through the history files in the achieves, the Board agreed and sign some contracts stating that they will be part of the Military program."

Crispy: "Soon we will have the tools needed to mow down those brutal beasts."

Sergeant Kelly: "Picture if you will, new and improve plasma guns that can fire green star bolts and telekinetic grapplers that will even lift the heaviest objects. Highly advance weaponry that will give our marines the added firepower they need. Mechanical limbs that can form into cannons and rocket launchers at will. And combining human with animal DNA to help heel any wound critical to anyone, like a lizard or a starfish."

Dr. Karmak: "This place has already gone to Hell and it will only be a matter of time before the demons attack this lab. So if Cray wanted us to do this phase, we'll do it."

Sergeant Kelly: "We kept this project confidential for some time and we didn't want anyone to know anything about this. Even if you are a guardian, you are not allowed to know this project; you're just here to protect the Titans."

Dr. Cray: "Good to know, soon we will have all the resources we need to put an end to this nightmarish massacre."

Remembering all this, he realized what the project was and was in complete and utter horror.

Alex: "No, no… It can't be…"

He then collapsed on the chair and shook his head in disgust, muttering to himself and what he found out.

Alex: "He can't do that. No way Cray can't do something like turning the team into human test subjects. I got to do something. I gotta get the Titans out of here fast before Cray has a chance operating on them. But first I need to find Beast Boy. Since he's nowhere to be found I'm pretty sure one of Cray's assistants got to him, probably Pinky. Now where is he?"

Alex started to figure out where the changeling had gone to. When he looked down, he noticed a red button underneath the desk. Staring at this strange button, he wondered what it could do. So he bent down and pushed the red button to find out. As soon as he did that, he heard something behind him turning and opening. When he stood up and turned around, he discovered the cabinets from behind the desk was opening up, revealing a secret passage. Curious to where it leads to, the guardian decided to walk through the entrance and see where it goes. As he enters the secret room, he and surprised at what he saw. Past the doors it was a big room filled with operating tables and a huge screen at the horizontal end of the wall. On the ceiling there were probes and cutters used to operate on patients, for cutting them up to pieces. On each of the walls were freezing doors containing more dead carcasses of demons and zombies. Alex looked at all of this and was completely amazed at this room he was in right now.

Alex: "Whoa… Guess this is where Pinky spends most of his time."

He walked down the large room to see what he could find useful. As he was looking around, he noticed one of the beds had someone underneath some kind of sheet, strapped to an IV container and a heart monitoring system. He quickly approached the table and wondered what was underneath it. So he looked to the right and spotted and control console that operates the table with a dozen options to do. Playing it safe, he clicked on the raise option and the operating table rose up to the upright position, taking the sheet down in the process. Once the sheet is fully down, Alex looked at the patient that was still alive and was completely shocked at what he saw. One that table was in fact Beast Boy, all cuffed up and covered with monitoring wires. An IV needle was stuck right into his arm giving him morphine and adrenaline and there were bandages stuck on the other, being that they were from the shots and skin samples Pinky did. Looking at all of this, Alex was completely speechless at what he witnessed.

Alex: "Oh my god… Beast Boy…"

He got closer to the green Titans and placed his hand on his check, still shocked at what he was seeing.

Alex: "What have they done to you?"

He looked down at the cuffs and wires that are on his body and decided to save him. But he didn't know what would happen if he got him out. What kind of punishments would be in store for him? He looked up at the changeling and decided to do it anyways.

Alex: "Don't worry BB, I'll get you out of here."

He was about to start uncuffing him out of the restraints and wires. But before he was able to do all that, he heard the sounds of weapons clicking, followed by a familiar voice to his left.

Dr. Cray: "Going somewhere Mr. Kelly?"

Alex turned to the right and saw Dr. Cray and the science team with the Titans sleeping on the gurneys and Rhino Squad in between them with their weapons pointed at the guardian. Cray shook his head and sighed to himself.

Dr. Cray: "Ah Mr. Kelly, I'm ashamed of you. Not only that you didn't stay put in the dorm I've assigned both you and the Titans, you've been snooping around my lab and discovered our secret research. I thought you were just like your father, brave, bold, and never get involved in any other business."

Alex stood up and performed a kata stance at the team. Rhino Squad was about to open fire, but Dr. Cray stopped them before they could do something completely stupid.

Dr. Cray: "Now Mr. Kelly, there is no need to fight. Let us talk like gentleman."

Alex: "Talk? What is there to talk about? I know what you're doing Cray. You're going to experiment on the Titans to create these new weapons for your last ditched effort."

Cray lowered his head and knew that the guardian would find out about this. He looks back up to him and tried to explain.

Dr. Cray: "Mr. Kelly, please understand. We are living in desperate times and in order to go through this, we have to use desperate measures."

Alex: "Desperate measures… Like killing a team to create weapons?!"

Dr. Cray: "I know this is all wrong Mr. Kelly, but when the Teen Titans were discovered, the board was figuring out how to use them. When they decided that they're powers could be meant for military purposes, the contracts have been printed out and the signatures were in place, including mine and your father. What makes you think that the board wanted them in the weapons and defense program, to be a part of the army? Their names in the history books were long gone after their so-called demise until years ago. And they would've been dead by now if the rescue team sent from Mars hadn't detected the distress signal in the abandon research base close to the Jump City ruins on Earth. And though they are still alive and well, they are what they said they are in history, dead."

Alex listened in on Cray's words, then looked at the Rhino Squad leader to ask him the same question.

Alex: "And what about you Voss? You're supposed to be the leader of your squad. Are you going to follow orders from an elderly doctor who's past his time and kill a team that could help you end this nightmarish Hell?"

Voss lowered his weapon and he to wanted to ease the Guardian's mind.

Scott Voss: "Alex, I know that what you think we're doing is wrong. The Teen Titans are by far the best team in the past and we could've used their help to save this facility and the world. But we have to follow the doctor's orders if we're ever going to get out of this alive. Besides, as far as I know this is all about survival in the UAC and in order to survive in this time of age, you will have to sacrifice whatever you can to get by. And even if it means experimenting on a bunch of teens with powers and abilities and use them for weapons, then so be it."

As Voss was talking, Dr. Cray pushed a button on the console of his wheel chair hand guard. That's when an unknown device was slowly lowered behind Alex and was reaching down to the bottom. What it was almost looked like some kind of laser, but there was something different about it. It had a green light at the tip of the laser and it's glowing so bright. What it does was a completely different story. When Voss was finished with his side of the story, Alex was completely disgusted by all of this.

Alex: "So that's it huh? We came to help you all stop Betruger from invading Earth and gave you the Primitive to find a way to do it. And what did we get in return? Nothing but a stab in the back. The old trust and betrayal bid. Well that's going to end. You are going to release Beast Boy from this torturous contraption, you're going to release my friends, and you're going to get us out of here right now!!"

Cray heard the guardian's orders and shook his head for a no.

Dr. Cray: "I'm sorry but I can't Mr. Kelly. All the arrangements have been made and the procedure will commence shortly. I was giving authorization from the board to begin when the Titans are here way before this invasion took place, I have to follow their word."

Alex: "Oh no you don't. I won't let you hurt my friends!"

He was about to fight both Rhino Squad and Cray in order to get the Titans out of the lab. But what he didn't know was that the laser behind him was glowing brighter and brighter by the second. When it was fully charged, Cray kept staring at the guardian and decided to calm him down.

Dr. Cray: "Take ease Mr. Kelly. You seem a little tense. Perhaps I should give you something to calm the nerves a bit."

He pressed another button and waited for something to begin. Alex wasn't sure what was Cray up to. That was until he felt something incredibly hot from behind him. When the guardian turned around, he saw a laser with a green light glowing in front of him. But what made it worse was that the laser was pointing directly at him.

Alex: "Ah shit…"

Immediately the laser opened fire and the green beam headed directly at the guardian. Fortunately, Alex was able to step aside and avoided the fast projectile. It was heading straight to the Rhino Squad and the science team but luckily there was a shield that appeared from the two walls between the teams and protected them from the blast. The laser, with a targeting system, turned to where the guardian is and started to fire once again. Alex tried every attempt to dodge, duck, and sidestep to avoid the speeding laser while trying to figure out how to loose it or get rid of it. Without his weapons to help him, Alex was pretty much defenseless at the time, so his best option is to get close to it and disable the laser so that he would be able to get out and save the others. After running and side stepping from the blasts, the guardian hid behind a steel pillar, where the green beam made a direct hit at it. Luckily, the laser deflected the beam and Alex was pleased at the fact that he was protected. The laser gun waited for the target to come out as the squad and science team watched on to see what would happen next. After waiting for a good minute, Crispy sighed and was getting frustrated by all of this.

Crispy: "Okay, now this guy is waiting it all out. Say the word sir and we'll force him out."

Voss looked at Cray, wanting to approve this order.

Scott Voss: "Dr. Cray…"

Thinking this one through, Cray came up with a better idea.

Dr. Cray: "Though the idea of you shooting at Mr. Kelly sounds like a prefer idea, I wouldn't want to hurt one of the patients. But if we want him to come out, I think I got something that can force him out."

He looked at the changeling that was still sleeping on the up right hospital bed and pushed a few keys on his mini console. That's when the laser turned and pointed at Beast Boy, ready to fire. Alex didn't know what was going on, so he took a peak to see what's the situation. What he saw was the laser pointing at a new target, Beast Boy.

Alex: "No!"

His reaction to this is to get out of his hiding place and save the sleeping green elf. He ran as fast as he could while the laser charged up for another blast. As he was reaching the projectory, he jumped up and flew past the changeling's hospital bed. Soon as he did that, the laser started to fire and hit the guardian. He fell to the floor and completely passed out just seconds after the hit. When all of that happened, Cray turned off the shield and approached the down guardian, assuring that he would be still alive.

Dr. Cray: "Just be glad that the laser was set to stun Mr. Kelly. If it was on kill, you would've been gone by now. Besides, when you father finds out about this, if he's still alive, he and I would have a long talk. So I suggest you take a rest before we begin our little project."

He look up to see his science team and Rhino Squad and gave out the orders.

Dr. Cray: "Mr. Voss, prepare the Titans for immediate attention. It is time to begin the operation."

Scott Voss: "Understood doctor…"

The leader turned to his squad and gave them all the order.

Scott Voss: "You heard him men, get the team on the operating tables ASAP! It's about time we get the weapons we deserve."

Rhino Squad nodded and went to work on bringing the Titans to the tables while the scientists prepare for the procedure. While everyone was doing their business, Cray asked Voss to do one more thing.

Dr. Cray: "And Mr. Voss…"

Voss looked back at Cray and wondered what else he needed.

Scott Voss: "Yes Cray?"

The doctor looked down at the wounded Alex and told Voss what to do.

Dr. Cray: "Make sure that Mr. Kelly is comfortable when the project begins. I need to make sure he sees everything."

That ends another brilliant and shocking chapter of the story. Took a little long since the two-week trip to Canada and now that I have college, it will take me longer. Even with all the longer chapters, it will be a complete nightmare. But I'll manage to get it all to you as soon as I could. On the next chapter, Cray, his science team, and Rhino Squad are about to begin the operation with the Titans and Alex watch helplessly. Will they be able to get out of this one, or will a surprise come and save them from being science experiments? This is one chapter you don't want to miss. Please Review.
