"Doctor, the energy readings of the test subject are off the charts! This is nothing like anything we have seen before! Even subject three's reactions were never this violent!" A lab assistant said to the doctor.
"What are his vital signs looking like? Is his condition stabilizing?" The doctor asked. Suddenly, the glass pod burst and subject nine stepped out, with black feathery wings sprouting from his back.
The subject let out a roar of rage and flew towards the window where the doctor and his assistant were watching, crashing through it.
"Subject nine, you're awake!" The doctor said in fear. This was the first test subject to survive stage three of the process. The closest anyone had been before was subject five, but she didn't survive the Ethernano injection like subject nine had.
A black shadow slowly overtook subject nine, corrupting him, and turning his right hand into a black claw. It was as if he could sense the doctor and his lab assistant's fear. No, he could sense the fear and anger of the entire city above the lab.
Hours later, subject nine was laying on the ground near the pod, with the city in ruins, and corpses everywhere. The black shadow slowly receded from his body, and subject nine sat up. An hour later, Ansei found the boy.
"Hello, I'm Ansei. Are you okay? I'm here to help." The woman said.
"Ansei, who am I?" Subject nine asked. "Also, where am I? I'm scared. I know how to speak and think and do things, but I have no memory."
"How about you come with me? Maybe we can find a name for you?" Ansei suggested.
"That sounds better than staying here." Subject nine said. He took Ansei's hand, and the two walked off, leaving the ruined city behind.
Weeks later, Ansei stood in front of a council of leaders from across the planet.
"Ansei Akuma, you are currently harboring Dimensional Research Project's Subject Nine. Is this true?" The lead counselor asked Ansei.
"Yes, chairman. I am taking care of Subject Nine. I would like to raise him into adulthood as if he were my own child." All nine of the counselors were shocked.
"Miss Akuma, this child almost turned into a demon. If they were to invade our home, we barely possess the tools to fight back. Right now, look at his power set. He can sprout wings, slow down time, and create portals. What will happen if he goes berserk again?"
"Mr. Chairman, if Subject Nine does go berserk, I will do what needs to be done. For now, he his human, and thus retains the basic rights allowed in the Charter of Humanity." Ansei argued.
"Fine then, Miss Akuma. All in favor of letting the boy live and stay with Miss Akuma" Five hands were raised. "Well then, we have a majority. Miss Akuma, you may raise Subject Nine as you see fit, but you must end his life if he proves a danger to humanity. You know the code; kill one to save one thousand."
Ansei got in her car and drove to her home on the beach. When she walked in the door, she saw a boy who appeared to be about seven years old wearing a black t-shirt and beige cargo shorts sitting at the table looking at a book. He wrote some symbols on a piece of paper, then checked the book, then put his pencil down.
"Hey nines, I'm home!" The child got up from the chair and gave Ansei a big hug. "Guess what? You are going to be living with me, and I'll take care of you from now on."
"Say Ansei, you're from Japan, right?" Subject Nine asked the older woman.
"You bet! My mom came here from the city of Saitama in Japan." Ansei replied.
"Can you check these characters for me? I think this is what I want my new name to be!" Ansei
"This looks like Majeru, from what I read. The translation is mixing, or something coming together. Is that what you want to be?" Ansei asked. "You know, before you were born, I gave you a different name. I called you Ku, and I thought you were going to be a girl. Funny how life works out sometimes."
"Ansei, can you teach me how to control my abilities? I don't ever want to lose control and hurt innocent people again." Majeru asked.
"Sure, of course, I can. It may not seem like I know what I'm doing, and your powers are completely unique to this world, so there's no one really like you, but I'll try my best."
A few years later, Ansei stood in front of the council again, but this time she was here by choice.
"Chairman, you wish to attempt to reopen the Dimensional Research Project? Do you remember what happened to Majeru? We were not meant to advance this far! We should be happy with the world and the planet we have, and not conquer more lands!" Ansei argued.
"Is there any more testimony? Then, we will proceed with the vote. All in favor of reopening the Dimensional Research Project, and making a new test subject, say aye." The chairman, as well as five other members, raised their hand. "By a vote of six to three, this action does pass."
Important notice! Villain poll is up, and only one person has voted. If I do not get at least five votes, I will just proceed with my favorite option. Make your voice heard!
