Number 39: The perfect human.

By Azure Knight

Chapter 1 [seventeen years after prologue: year 2026]

[Nevada, D. Odine laboratory.]

"How could this HAPPEN?!" D. Odine shouted to his assistant. "We had the top maximum security alarm to this experience, how could he escape?!"

"Doctor, we had the strongest men supervising him and he killed as they were nothing but rats, we need to alert the population and the government. This experiment is dangerous!" the assistant begged to the Doctor.

"No! That's the last thing we are doing. The government already suspended the funds to the SeeD project when we lost experiment 39 and this one was a baby. If they know we lost experiment 38 too after eighteen years of programming him to destruction, the actual president Loire is going to shut us down and kill all the other experiments. Then we can't even sell them to other countries. No! Alert them is not even an option."

"But, doctor, 38 is dangerous. How are you going to control a monster that's running lose through the cities, without the president knowing? You know the press will be on the case. Sooner or later they'll know. One way or another."

"No, if we turn their attentions to other experiment..."

"You aren't thinking of..."

"Exactly! We fool the government. We say that 39 is dangerous because he has grown up and any time 38 makes damage we put the guilt on 39. We just have to wait until 38 gets hungry to put our plan in action." D. Odine left the room laughing.

The assistant only whispered "Dear Hyne..."

[Washington, Pentagon]

General Caraway was impatiently standing in the conferences' room waiting for the President Laguna and the doctor responsible for the project SeeD. D. Odine. By his side were already Marshal Kiros Seagil and General Ward.

Finally, President Loire and Doctor Odine entered the room. Not wasting time the President initiated the reunion.

"Please doctor, tell us what happened in that village in Nevada, near your laboratory." He asked.

"Well, what happened is very simple. As you saw, the people who were killed presented marks of human teeth in their flesh witch means that only a human could have ate their flesh." The doctor stated matter-of-factly.

"That's why you're here. No human could have done that, so only those of your experiments could." Stated the black marshal. "Are you sure none of your failed specimens escaped your lab, doc.?" he asked, suspicious.

The doctor already expecting those attacks affirmed "Indeed. However you know as much as I do that since our funds have been cut we could not continue with the research, only taking care of the ancient failures, as you named them. I assure you that none of those 38 experiments escaped our lab. Therefore, only one is running loose through the world."

The president stood alert immediately "you think that the baby..."

"You have to see, mister president that the baby has grown up..." doctor Odine said.

"But the baby was a perfect human, he did not have an scaled member, as stayed proved in the corpses autopsy, he had." Kiros intervened.

"We cannot exclude the hypothesis of mutations or regressions. He did have reptile genes in his DNA. I'll have to remember you that we could not had the chance of studying his development. I did insist to continue the searches seventeen years ago but president Loire, still a Senator in the time, was against." The doctor replied.

President Laguna stayed very quiet with a sad expression. Kiros, always his 'friend' changed the subject. "And why near your lab, a strange coincidence, don't you think?"

"Marshal Kiros, everybody knows you never agreed with my experiments. But I assure you that that is just a coincidence, no need to worry. I have full control of my lab. If you have doubts you can investigate on your own." Of course Doctor Odine knew the members of the government. He had made sure all the clues of the 38 disappearance were erased, only his main assistant knew, the others, the 38 itself had killed them, for him.

The black man glared at the doctor and made a mental note to do investigate. But for know, the priority was find and nullify the massacre's responsible.

"Very well. What you say we do, doctor? Mobilize all our Army and Navy?"

"No, Marshal, that would only frighten him and panic the population. I had already talked with the president and General Caraway. We decided it was best to mobilize a small force of exceptional men and women. All with different characteristics, so they can manage, working as a team, equalize the higher power and intelligence of my experiment."

Then general Caraway took the word. "Yes, indeed. And I already took the liberty to pick them." Opening a blue book in front of him, the general took out 7 files and turned on the huge screen of the room. In the screen appeared a short blond with spiky hair, who didn't look he had more than seventeen years old.

"This is Sergeant Zell Dincht. Nineteen years old. Specialist in all kind of martial arts, also very handy in electronics and practical intelligence. L. A. Police." President Laguna smiled amused and said "he looks like a punk!"

The other men smiled and Caraway glared at him "It gets handy in the kind of crime he fights". Unfolding another file and switching the screen's image the General continued. Another blond appeared, this time a fine woman.

"This is Quistis Trepe from the secret services. The second youngest person entering the secret services in twenty years. Specialized in all kind of weapon and also graduated in medicine and chemistry."

Again the image changed and a longhaired man with a cowboy hat appeared. "This is Ranger Irvine Kinneas from Texas. Claimed as the best sniper and ladies' man of the country. Deals with every kind of fire material. Guns, grenades, you name it."

The image changed once more and a cute girl with brown hair appeared. "Who's she, a schoolgirl? She can't fight my experiments!" said doctor Odine.

"Don't let her appearance fool you doctor. Selphie Tilmit. NASA. She's one of the best scientists in there, one of the most intelligent people of the country. She's also specialized in throwing weapons."

Another time the image changed showing now one man and a gray-haired woman. "These are lieutenant Raijin and Captain Fuujin, from the Air force. And this," the image changed for the last time showing a handsome blond, "is the commandant of all this team. Lieutenant-colonel Seifer Almasy. Specialized in all kind of white weapons, fire weapons and martial arts. Has good instincts and doesn't like to follow orders. He's also one of the best aircrafts pilots we have."

"These are my suggestions." The others nodded agreeing with his proposal. General Caraway sighed relieved now that is job in this conference was done and they seemed to like it.

"Great," said marshal Kiros "I'll notify them at once."

A/N: To my reviewers:

Redrum: SxS will appear very soon. Squall is the perfect human.

Squall-sama: Yeah, adorable Squall. I want one too...but I wouldn't mind if he wasn't a baby ;p.

Bloodstained Tears: Yes, Squall is the perfect human and Laguna is the long haired man. I would tell you in an email but I couldn't find yours.

MistressCorruption: I will. Hope you like it!

Thank you all. I'll do my best.

This is supposed to be an action story with military forces and all that stuff. If I get wrong in some of the army patents or war aircrafts' names or genetically matters let me know and don't hit me too hard, I did a research but ...Another thing. I put names of real locations on it so it would look more real. I hope nobody minds. If you do, tell me so and I'll change them.
