…WARNING WARNING WARNING…

…The alarm began alerting all computers bringing the once quiet lab into full alert…

…Cyrofreeze deactivating…

…Activating supporting systems…

…Project Last Hope activating…

…Releasing pod…

Somewhere in the desert far below earth's surface in a hidden lab…. Project Hope begins its activation as the machine menace begins to invade its inner sanctum. Deep in the lab a lone pod begins an emergency activation. X1 begins to open his eyes.

"What the hell.. where in the fuck am I"

Grabbing his head, X1 shakes it before scanning his surroundings. The unfamiliar landscape was all he could see. Computer monitors flicker and processes run on the screen. As X1 steps outside the capsule he took a double take at his image on the reflective surface. Still retaining his black spiky hair and sharp facial features. He noticed his irises had turned gold. X1 also noticed that he was wearing some type of battle gear. Seeing a long black jacket with its sleeves rolled up ending at his biceps. The jacket pockets were strewed all around, with black matching cargo pants and combat boots. Armor plating were placed around his body. On his shoulders he had two pauldron, a chest guard, and shin guards. Looking at the gloves on his hands he even noticed targeting cursor moving into his sight.

"What in gods name is that!?" yelled X1 as information rolled over objects. (His eyes are able to see crystal clear images to inhuman extent)

Being shocked by such a sight, panic began to set in as X1 rushed over to the computers trying to gather information. Just then, an explosion blasted a nearby wall away. The explosion caught his attention. Many small stubby and medium bipeds charged in, scanning their surroundings. Unbeknownst to them, X1 was still lurking behind the pod he woke up in.

"What the fuck is going on… what are those things… why do I keep seeing this type of heads up display on my eyes"

Peeking around the pod X1 locked onto a machine that had closed in on him. Taking a deep breath, he moved around to the opposite side. Now crawling low on the ground, X1 tried avoided enemy detection. He made his way towards multiple computers sitting on stands, moving slowly. With each passing second, he scurried towards the door only to get grabbed by the leg. The biped began to drag him from cover and hurl him across the room, slamming him into a wall. The sheer impact forced a silhouette of his body to be engraved into the metal.

Not noticing a lot of the pain, X1 planned his next move. Grabbing a computer tower, he noticed it lacked any sort of weight. Thinking quickly, he threw the tower with such impactful force it knocked the biped across the room. The biped then slammed against the wall, being destroyed by the impact.

"No way. There's is no way I could have done that."

Reaching for another tower, a small stubby had closed their distance. Taking a swing, the attack stopped, as he caught the limb with his inhuman reflexes. Crushing the limb, X1 reared back at the sight of such strength. Processing all the combat data his body was feeding him. X1 then began reacting to it on his own. Turning his hand into a fist he smashed through the cranium of his metal opponent.

"Ok I can do this" X1 said smashing his fist into his palm.

Making a leap, the force propelled a confused X1 into the group of bipeds. A barrage of attack commenced as scraps of metal littered all around the lab floors.

"K..Ki..Kill the An…Droo…Ids" spoke the last biped as it falls from the fight.

"Android? What is it talking about." X1 whispered as he tried to make light the situation.

Moments later a giant screen rolled down behind X1 causing him to rear his head towards the monitor. An image of a scientist in his late 50's popped up.

"Ah X1 you are awake now"

"Who the fuck are you? Explain yourself."

"I am Professor Anderson. You X1, must have multiple questions about all of this"

"You bet your ass I do. Now, where am I?"

"A secret laboratory in America. You were infected by WCS."

"WSC? What is that?"

"White chlorination syndrome. Your body was infected with this disease. But instead of turning into sodium chloride, your body resisted such a gruesome end. Thus, we took you into our research facility. Sadly though, it never was completed."

"So, you are saying I'm a lab rat taken from my friends and family because I happened to resist this disease. Sounds like abduction you bastard. You better have a good explanation for all of this."

"Yes. When we took you in humanity was on the brink of extinction. We wanted to save what was left of humanity as our lives began disappearing. 1 by 1 we modified you into holding our last wish. We took all the human genomes and implanted them into a special data core which now resides within you. We also had to take your human body away. You are, how should I put this, a genetically modified android. But you still get to keep your human brain and emotions."

"Wait I'm an android? Why would you do this to me!"

"Because as a last-ditch effort we needed you to protect that codex that is within you. We had planned on awakening you several years later. But with how things are going now, you are perhaps the last of us on this planet."

"Great you sons of bitches had to take me away from my life just to experiment on me. Not only that, you took what made me human and turned me into a monster."

"Physically yes you are no longer human, but your soul was left inside you. You get to retain it and that is what truly makes you human. But enough of the questions. My time is short, and you are to transfer that codex to this location. When you get there you may be able to bring back the human race. We do not know if that area is still intact, so please see to it that we do not fail in vain."

"Right so I wake up, and almost get killed by these things and you want me to run an errand for you guys. You're lucky I'm a nice guy, but if this thing doesn't exist, I am killing myself. I will not be played for a fool into some shit storm that came into this world. I will leave this world if need be. Got it."

"That's fine. You are the only one that can kill yourself anyway. We built you with the ability to self-regenerate. You will always regenerate limbs and any damage taken. But do take care of your brain, we reinforced your skull with the best metal created. Syrintanium. This metal is 100 times stronger than titanium. You are built to be as advanced as our technology allowed. So, take much needed precautions against the enemies on the surface. Here, take these weapons plese."

A door began to slide back revealing a giant great sword. The sword was 6 feet tall and made of solid metal. Its name? The buster sword. With its brotherhood sword sitting right next to it, a smaller single edge blade.

Walking over to the gifts, X1 took each blade. Despite the great sword's large size its weight felt like a feather in his hands. Testing out the weapon, X1 swung the large weapon around. The sheer force of each swing did nothing to even off balance the android. Examining the smaller weapon, a full combo rocked the gentle air. With a nod from X1 he locked the weapons onto his back, turning over to the monitor once more.

"Before you leave take this with you. It will give you information on everything that has happened. I do hope that clears up anything, but understand it is graphic in nature. With this last gift I bid you farewell. Our hopes and dreams lie within your heart."

A data stick then dropped on the ground from the ceiling. Grabbing the item, the message was soon terminated. Following red lights illuminating, a siren rang through the lab with a countdown.

"You gotta be kidding me. I'm not even out yet" X1 yelled in fear

Rushing out of the door he made his way down many long corridors. Rushing on, X1 stumbled upon a specialized launch pod. Wasting no time, he rushed in. Locking sounds rang through the corridor as metal cuffs began to grab hold of X1. Feeling a gut-wrenching force, the pod propelled itself into the darkness. Explosions flashed all around the lab as the pod made its way out. Light soon filled the pod as it launched X1 high into the sky. In his descent towards the ground X1 broke free slashing the pod in half. His attack ejecting him from the pod into the air.

"Shit shit shit shit I'm gonna die" X1 yelled as he was plummeting to earth at an alarming rate.

Slamming into the ground X1 caught himself, causing a crater where he landed. Feeling relief that he survived, X1 surveyed his surroundings. Taken aback by how the planet had shifted, X1 could spot nothing but the sand dunes all around him.

"Well this is great. I'm in the middle of a desert. This sucks. Now I have to navigate myself out of here."

Walking onward, the lone android made his way into the unknown. Having been tasked with the last hope of Humanity resting on his shoulders.
