Doctor Sariachi looked up from her computer when the door to her lab opened and two men entered the room. Dr. Sariachi smiled and rose from her seat. "I see, you finished the mission well." The two men smiled and nodded while they tightened their grip around the arms of Michiru, who hung between them unconscious. The aqua haired woman stirred and moaned, but didn't wake up. Haruka came strolling into the room, chewing on a piece of raw meat. When she saw Michiru, she stopped dead in her tracks, and her eyes widened. For the split of a second, unnoticed by everyone, her eyes returned to their natural teal color, only to change back to glowing red afterwards. "What is she doing here?" the blonde asked, sounding annoyed. "She knows to much." Dr. Sariachi replied. "We have to get rid of her." Haruka shrugged and swallowed the rest of her meat whole. The doctor scolded her, and while she talked to Haruka about chewing food and digestion, Michiru woke up. She shook her head to get rid of the dizziness and looked around. When her eyes fell on the tall blonde, she called out in pure surprise: "Haruka!" The blonde didn't react, but Dr. Sariachi smiled at Michiru. "Haruka is dead, Miss Kaioh." She then said. "The person you see here may look like Haruka, but her name is Weapon X. Though she prefers the shorter name X."

Michiru stared at Dr. Sariachi in pure horror. "What did you do to her?" Kaori smiled. "Don't worry, I will tell you. But first…" She looked at the two men who still held Michiru tight. "Tie her down on the research table." She commanded. The men nodded and pulled the scared Michiru over to the table. They pressed her down on the cold metal, and Dr. Sariachi pressed the button which closed the steel cuffs around Michirus wrists and ankles. When Michiru laid there helpless, Dr. Sariachi turned to Haruka and pointed at the two men. "Kill them." Haruka smiled, showing her wolfish teeth – a gasp came from Michiru at the sight of them – and popped her claws out. The two men, professional kidnappers, got wide-eyed and stepped back. "But…but Dr. Sariachi!" one of them stammered while Haruka approached them, the claws glistening in the bright light. Michiru closed her eyes and turned her head away, tears springing to her eyes, when she had to hear who Haruka – or better said, Weapon X – killed the two helpless men.

"Now that these two thugs are dead", Dr. Sariachi spoke while Weapon X was washing her claws at the sink, "I can tell you everything you want to know. You'll die anyway, so it won't do any bad if you learn about Weapon X." "What did you do to her?" Michiru asked powerless. "Let's start from the beginning, shall we?" Dr. Sariachi suggested, smiling at her prisoner. "Five years ago, I discovered a new method that made it possible to mantle a human skeleton with a metal, also discovered by me, without killing the affected person. The metal had many effects; one of them is an increased healing rate. Let me demonstrate this to you." While Dr. Sariachi spoke the last words, she pulled a scalpel from the pocket of her white lab coat and rammed it the stomach of Weapon X. Michiru let out a shocked yelp, and her shock turned in terror when the wound closed again. Dr. Sariachi smiled and continued her story. "As you see, the results are amazing. However, the metal – I plan on naming it after me, by the way – has other side effects too. Weapon X is able to incur the wounds of other people, something that is very useful if I ever get hurt. Her healing rate can cope with a great amount of hurt, and it is hardly possible to kill her. Plus, she has three metal claws in each forearm, but I think you already saw them." "And you'll make her kill me with them." Michiru whispered, and it wasn't a question, it was a statement. "You got that right." Dr. Sariachi smiled. "I know that you were lovers once, but Weapon X doesn't. So she will kill you without having any scruples. Right, X?" Weapon X just nodded, and Dr. Sariachi smiled. "After two years of testing, I was ready to do first tests on human beings." She then spoke on. "And I chose Haruka after I saw how she won a race. She is strong and had a strong will too…until James broke her spirit with his constant violating of her, but he paid for that. However, it took us two years to prepare Haruka for the covering of her skeleton, and I admit that these two years brought a lot of pain to her. The procedure of mantling her bones was even more painful, but as you see she survived. And now she is Weapon X. Almost invincible and stronger than any other human being on this planet." Dr. Sariachi grinned evilly. "And now, she will kill you." She then said.

Weapon X approached the desk Michiru was tied to, her claws popping out while she walked. "Please." Michiru said softly. "Please, Haruka…don't kill me." Weapon X stopped and looked down at the helpless Michiru. She turned back to Dr. Sariachi and said: "It's boring if she's tied down. I want her to fight back a little. May I untie her, Kaori?" "If you wish." Dr. Sariachi answered, smiling. She walked over to the control panel and pushed the button which caused the cuffs to snap open. Weapon X grabbed Michirus collar and pulled her from the desk roughly. "Say your last prayers, Kaioh." Was the last thing Michiru heard before three claws gouged themselves into her stomach. Before Michiru fell to the floor, she had time to wonder why the voice of Weapon X sounded so deep. Then the world went black.
