AHHHH! This is the end! Until the sequel of course, which I will have up much sooner than I did this chapter. (Sorry it took so long.) Anyway, remember I promise they'll be back together. Just not in this chapter.

Stryker stood watching them run after Brooke, then turned his eyes back to Logan. "I don't believe it."

He looked at him a moment longer. The heart monitor beeped briefly. Stryker and the doctor both jumped at the sound. His heart rate slowly climbed back up. "He's alive." Stryker said, in disbelief. "Yes!"

"What now?"

Stryker looked thoughtful for a second. "We'll use their DNA. Use both of them as soldiers... Keep him away from her. Erase his memory."

Logan's eyes shot open. His claws came out, he pulled against his restraints, pushing up hard with his body, and slammed back down.

"I think he heard you." Someone said.

The straps broke, and he emerged from the tank with a roar.

"Get him!" Stryker yelled. "Shoot!"

He was shot in the head and several other places, but it just pissed him off more. He lept from the tank, slicing through anyone in his way, making his way towards the cells. He was on the war path.

Stryker stood there fuming. "Zero!"

"Sir."

He handed him an adamantium bullet. "Find him. Shoot him with this."

"It won't kill him. Nothing will." the doctor interrupted.

"But his memory won't grow back." he turned to Zero. "Go, now!"

Zero took off the direction Logan went.

When Logan made it to the cells he saw Hanson and Parker lying there dead. He jumped over them and looked into the cell. "Brooke?... Brooke?!"

He heard someone coming up the hall and started running again. He made it to the end of the cell, when somebody shot him in the back. The pain took him to his knees. It took him all but a second to recover. He smelt fresh air, heard thunder far in the distance and forced himself up. He could smell Brooke had gone in this direction.

He started running to the door which was still open.

Zero ran after him and grabbed his radio. "Subject Wolverine is headed to the west exit, I need back up. Now!"

"This is Stafford, I copy. I'm outside the west entrance now."

"Keep him busy till I get there."

When Logan made it outside he was immediately shot in the leg.

"Freeze, Wolverine!"

Logan looked at him and smirked. "Like that's gonna happen."

He took off to the left. Stafford trailed after him, but wasn't nearly as fast. He grabbed his radio and yelled into it. "Zero, where the hell are you?!"

They were already out of sight from the building.

"Right behind you. Don't loose him!"

Logan stopped dead in his tracks and turned towards Stafford. His claws shot out and he charged at him with a growl.

Stafford shot at him in panic, but it barely slowed him down at all. Logan's claws went right through him. He pulled his claws out and watched Stafford fall to the ground.

Logan paused and listened. He heard Zero right on his tail. He jumped over a large oak tree that had fallen, and hid behind it waiting.

When Zero came up he stopped, looking at Stafford's body. "Shit." He said looking around.

"Lookin' for somethin'?"

Zero wheeled around and saw Logan.

He walked up to Zero slowly, claws still out. "You come back without a fight, and things will go smoothly. Nobody has to get hurt." Zero said, hoping to save some trouble.

Logan let out a dry laugh. "You're fuckin' mental if you think I'm goin' back in there."

Zero raised his gun. "You shoot me, motherfucker and I swear I'll kill you." Logan said calmly.

"Funny... That's almost the same thing your girlfriend said right before we killed her."

There was a low rumble of thunder and the rain started falling.

"Fuckin' piece of shit! Fuck you, you're lying!" Logan shouted, pointing his claws threateningly at Zero.

"After she killed Hanson and Parker, we snatched her up. Put in adamantium bullet through her skull. She was out of control, we had to."

Logan's eyes blurred. He let out a heart wrenching scream, and charged at Zero. At the same time Logan's claws penetrated Zero's chest, Zero shot him right in the middle of his forehead.

Zero's mouth gaped open trying to get air in his lungs, and Logan fell backwards, unconscious.


Stryker was still standing in the lab. He had began to worry. "Zero?" he tried radioing him. "Zero, did you get him? Do you copy?"

He waited and got no response. "Zero?... Stafford?... Damn!" he slammed his fist on the table.

He heard a small movement behind him. He slowly raised his head and turned around. Behind him were at least 30 very angry, very free mutants.

He backed up slowly with his hands in the air. "Listen now... We can work this out. I can do something for you, you can do something for me."

One of the mutants pushed over a large tank of chemicals, almost landing on Stryker. He jumped back, panicked.

He looked as if he were in shock. Then all at once they yelled and attacked him. After they had killed him, one of them took a match and dropped it in the chemicals, and they all ran, wanting to get free of this place once and for all.


Logan slowly regained consciousness. It was still raining hard, and didn't look like it was going to stop anytime soon.

He shook his head, trying to clear it. He looked over and saw Zero on the ground dead. His brows came together in confusion, and he noticed he was naked. He lifted his dog tags from his chest. "Wolverine?" he said, then flipped it over. "Logan."

He studied them for a moment, then got up. He smelt smoke in the distance, and looked up. Despite the rain there was a big cloud of smoke hovering in the air.

Logan looked around several moments, then started walking. He didn't know who he was, or where he was going, but he knew he wanted to get out of here.

He looked at Zero's body giving it one more confused look, and walked into the woods, his heart aching for reasons he was unsure of.

No, he didn't know who he was, but he was going to find out.
