Hello again everyone, I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you again for taking the time to read and review my story. It means a lot to me that people actually like it ^^. I had stated in my first chapter that the rating might be a bit light for the content of this story. I want to know what you, as readers think. So please, if you don't want to review, please E-mail me with what you think. I know for a fact though that I will make the final chapter of this story have an R-rating. But for now, I just wanted to know if you all thought the rating for this story was appropriate. Personally, I thought it would be pushing the limits of PG-13, but I definitely want to know what you all think. Thanks a lot again.

Omega Chapter 6
Explosions rocked the large asteroid prison as the unknown creature destroyed turrets using its massive claws. Argana was watching the horror if it all through her view screens in front of her. It was terrible! Bits and pieces of metal that were once fully-function orbiting defense turrets were in shreds and this terrible creature showed no sign of stopping.
Argana wondered to herself just what this creature wanted. Why it was so hell-bent on getting into the station. Suddenly, it occurred to her. It must've been another illegal genetic experiment! The scientist Hämsterviel had recently been captured and put into confinement here! He must be commanding it from the inside somehow!!!
Lt. LeFay leaped from her chair, grabbed her plasma blaster, and ran through the exit of the security center, abandoning her post. This alone was ground for her expulsion from the ranks, but she felt it was justified. Because, in a moment, there would be no more ranks left to be expelled from. She ran towards the cell-block holding Hämsterviel, sweat making her palms wet as her powerful reptilian legs propelled her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omega, the remorseless killer, continued on, shrugging off plasma blasts. He'd destroyed the plasma torpedo turrets long ago. Fighting him was a futile venture, but he admired the pathetic little reptilian creatures for their resilience. These creatures, regardless of their resilience were…imperfect.
"Imperfection is as good as death" Omega heard Professor Gail's voice say in his head clearly. His creator had taught him well.
Omega would do them the favor of killing them to spare them of this indignity.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LeFay finally arrived at the door to Hämsterviel's cell. Argana knew the codes to the prisoner cells, since she was the high up in the security department. She quickly entered the code to open it. Hämsterviel stood up in surprise.
"Vhat are you doing in my cell?" The little scientist said.
Argana made no reply as she jumped forward and grabbed the animal by his throat.
"Talk!" She screamed at him.
"About vhat!?"
"About why I just had to see my fellow officers slaughtered at the hands of one of YOUR experiments! Call it off, Hämsterviel, or I swear to god…" She armed her blaster and pressed it into his face.
"I don't know vhat is going on, I svear [swear]!"
Argana pulled the pistol away from his face and shot his foot, burning it badly, but not permanently. She'd only used it at its lowest setting. She powered the pistol back up to full and aimed it back at his face again.
"TALK!" She screamed once more.
Before Hämsterviel could reply, an explosion could be heard from down the corridor. Followed by blaster fire, and then screams of anguish and pain. Quite suddenly, it was silent. A moment of silence passed before heavy footsteps could be heard coming towards the cell…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omega had slaughtered every last being stationed on this asteroid. He killed every guard and every prisoner. He destroyed every last vehicle. None would escape him. His internal sensors pointed him towards Hämsterviel cell. He blasted through a wall, encountering a last bit of resistance from a few armed guards. They tried to defend themselves and the prison, but were easily wiped out. He walked toward Hämsterviel's cell, intent on killing him…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Argana dragged Hämsterviel to the side of the cell opposite of the door. She aimed her blaster at the doorway as the footsteps got closer. She gasped as she watched the hideous bladed creature walk into the room. Something was different about it now though, it was shorter, almost the size of a human. The rest of the beast looked the same as it had before. Argana fired a shot from her plasma pistol at the abomination. The shot struck it squarely in the face… The bolt simply dissipated and the creature snarled fiercely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omega didn't feel a thing. He walked towards them both, seeing them both cower before him gave him a strange feeling…A thrill of some sort… He stomped toward them, the last survivors of the prison.
"Give me the scientist Hämsterviel now."
Argana fired another shot at him defiantly. Omega growled. He grew to 15 feet tall and grabbed the pitiful lizard-like creature before him within his bladed grasp. He held her up into the air before his cold, black eyes. The lizard's blood dripped from between his hands…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Argana screamed in pain as the blades dug into her skin, but then immediately silenced herself and looked deep into the creature's eyes. She would give this creature no satisfaction in killing her. She closed her eyes slowly, and let herself drift off into the sleep from which there was no awaking. Just before she was gone completely, she wondered if she would be happy wherever she was going…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omega dropped the lifeless body of the creature within his grasp. He noticed that one was different from the others. Her silence didn't make killing her enjoyable at all…He smiled when he looked down to the cowering Hämsterviel. This would be fun. Quickly, Omega grabbed Hämsterviel. Hämsterviel was whimpering and crying like a small child. This was what Omega loved and lived for!
With a quick slash of his hand, Omega's task was completed and the room was silent again. Omega walked slowly from the prison, it was silent except for small fired burning here and there. When he left the prison he transformed back into the space-traveling creature and began gliding silently back to the place of his creation. He looked back one last time and smiled at his work, the facility was in ruins.
"If this is only a test…I can not help but be excited at what my creator has in store for me next." Omega thought to himself as he flew silently through the cold, quiet vacuum of space…
