The story takes place 3 months after the end of the anime series and is based solely on the anime not the manga. It is also based off the theory of the person at the end being Lucy with all of her memories.

This is just an introduction to the story that I thought I might put out there; I hope you like it and look for what's to come.

Snnnnnaaaap! The sound of the metal shot breaking another one of the young Diclonius' bones reverberated through out the empty white room. Fresh blood painted the wall behind the shackled young boy. He was no more then 16 years old with short military cut black hair. Though he seemed like a normal teenager there was something that stood out. Not horns like one of the regular mutant freaks, he would have been much better off with horns. This Diclonius had wings, then why call it a Diclonius? Well because of the magnificent vector he controlled. His vector is different though just like his wings are different, his vector is not arms it is a sphere of total destruction extending two meters all around him.

"If you don't use your damn vector you will eventually die," called out one of the scientific observers sadistically, feeling confident behind the five inches of reinforced glass. Feeling too confident he even shouted a challenge to the monster "Why don't you come on up here and show me what a pathetic runt like yourself can do?" Another stronger shot came bursting out of the large machine overhead, this time cracking the left lower rib of the Diclonius.

"Four-hundred joules cleared," the scientist at the console announced, "might I ask sir, why are we continuing when the subject is showing no signs of using his vector?"

The man who was still shouting insults at the Diclonius turned around abruptly and with an angry tone answered, "Because maybe if we make him hurt enough he'll decide to show us what he's capable of," he turned around back to the shackled Diclonius and added, "If you wish to keep your job Matsushima I suggest you no longer question the intent of your superiors."

"Yes sir," Matsushima answered reluctantly. He thought that tomorrow he should ask the director for a transfer to a different sector, one without that jerk Ghan. Matsushima turned the dial on the console to 425. "425 joules, prepared to fire," he moved his hand to the fire switch, "firing now."

"Wait!" shouted Ghan, "Put it up to six-hundred"

"What! I know the subject is strong but six-hundred!"

"You must not like your job at all, do you?" Ghan asked, getting very agitated by his subordinate's impudence. "You fire six-hundred joules now or I'll take your seat and fire a thousand at that freak!" Matsushima thought for a minute and decided that the subject's life was not worth his job and quickly fired the 600 joule shot without announcement. The Diclonius did not deter the shot at all and took it full force having his collar bone cave in. Blood sprayed everywhere, the Diclonius screamed out in pain. "Why don't you fucking use your vector?" Ghan was very pissed off now at the freak's decision to not deflect the shots. "Why are you trying to kill yourself?" The boy looked up at Ghan through the thick glass and with great effort gave him a small smile, he knew that doing nothing would make him pissed off and it had worked, he was happy about it. "Why you little son of a bitch," Ghan commented reaching for the dial to turn it all the way to max.

He turned the dial to 2000 joules and was about to slam on the fire button when a voice over the speaker stalled him "Stop Ghan! That's enough for today; you wouldn't want to kill Drake now would you?" Ghan stopped immediately, he knew right away it was the director and feared the worst if he pushed that button, no matter how insulting the freak was. "Gas him and put him in the new cryo-cell." The director ordered. "I've been meaning to test it out."

Once again hope it hypes you up for the next chapter's feel free to review how ever you want I'm open to criticism as long as you tell me how I can fix it.
