Chapter 8 Remila

18 years ago...

A woman was laying on the ground in such agonizing pain coming from her lower side, the horrible cramping was worst than taking in bullets and deep cuts from training sessions.

"Keep pushing! God damn it! Push!" said the deep voice that was using his jacket to lay something on the ground.

She had to push, something was definitely coming out, it was so big. It stretched her lower muscles so much that it was unbearable to endure. Her screams were roaring like thunder, but the sky was clear and the sun was blinding her eyes.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Why did it come this? The pain that I was expecting came at the most worst timing ever. I blamed myself for having this to happen on myself. If only that I never existed...

I was named Remila 09; I was made by the leftovers from a synthesis that was made by an engineer that died on a suicide mission. I cannot remember the synthesis' name, but what I have are the powers to use my energy to protect myself and golden amber eyes to fused myself with...her.

I was curious to hear about the synthesis that was here before me. However, no one ever wanted to talk about her. I still had to know, but I never had the chance to look for her files.

My powers will only come out of my special gloves. It wasn't hard to learn from the leftover data from her. I was also programmed to hunt down the one called "Xero".

I heard that he was a cyborg that hated everything and soon became a criminal, I'm not sure about his history since I wasn't told the details. Those poor humans risked themselves to save others; such a waste on their short lives had me choked up every time this criminal always kill his own kind. Why would he do such a cruel thing? My father told me to never become the fool as this cyborg that I will hunt him down when I'm ready.

My creators are my father and his son Nero. They spent years building me, carefully in details as well. I was installed to have a body of a woman. One night, I took a good look at myself. I was slender with my long violet hair that goes down on my butt, my chest was heavy from those large and jiggly things. It hurts my back most of the time, sadly I was programmed to feel pain, but my masters said that is what females always had. I couldn't stand being a woman since it was strange to wear skirts since the bottom was always breezy. I had to learn how to wear heels which pains my feet...

Although, the most wonderful person that helped me was Caroline, the only woman in Bioware headquarter that taught me a lot about the human world and my creators were the nonparticipant for my...woman's training. I eventually gotten used to this body and she made me into a human. I was grateful to be given a life by science. Nero was a kind man that made sure that he focus on the child that he was expecting from Caroline's huge belly that scared me to death. I thought Caroline's belly had a time bomb inside her and it could explode at any minute. Nero and Caroline just laughed at me when I said that, I just don't get humans sometimes.

They always do such strange activities that I was unaware of...

"What are you doing Caroline?" Remila asked, while tilting her head towards a small machine near her.

"I'm using the Ultrasound to check on my child."

"Why?"

"Because I need to check to see if he's okay!" Caroline giggled. "Here, you can hear his heartbeat coming from this machine."

"Your child will be wonderful...I wonder what you're going to name it?" Remila smiled at her, she remembered her times with her other friends that had the same experience as Caroline was going. Remila remembered those experiences from many women that had been there before, but somehow they were gone with their...children. Remila didn't know why, but she never bother to ask her father and his son about them.

A few months have passed after the child was born. The smell of coffee envelop around the room when Remila used her energy powers to lift many individual mugs to send on each every soldiers and scientists in this very building.

Remila brew the coffee on her own since Caroline taught her how and every men loved it.

After delivering most of the coffee. She carried two more coffee mugs on her hands and walked in hallway, passing by a fellow human male scientist.

"Good morning Remila."

"Good morning." Remila happily said to one of the assistant.

"Hey, do you need some help with that? I bet those mugs would drop down any second if you walked in those heels."

Remila looked down at her new ankle boots, it was her three and a half inches wedged heels that Caroline wanted her to wear over her new dress. She never asked why on Caroline gave those to her, she said that it was her old shoes from when she first came here.

"I'll be fine, thank you." Remila smiled at him again and walked away.

After exchanging a few words to the assistance, Remila walked in my father's room first since he was working non-stop ever since they gathered new engineers that will take his place. He was getting old and ill, the poor synthesis worried about him since there was nothing she can do. Recently, she heard from a doctor that he had a fatal illness that is currently incurable to humans. Remila worried about his mysterious illness for humans, her father stated that it was common to get, but Remila was skeptical about the cause.

"Excuse me."

Remila pressed the code to get inside his room she saw my master that was sitting on his bed, reading his pad. When he saw her, he smiled.

"Good morning Remila 09." he said in his usual kind voice.

"Good morning father," Remila bowed, "how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine sweetheart. I can smell the coffee around you. Wonderful, just the way I like it."

"I'll be going then, please rest a little more father."

"I will, thank you Remlia 09."

Caroline's room was always neat and tidy compared to Nero's room. Nero's room had wires all over the floor, Remila would always trip over by those. She swore to herself to never step in his room ever again.

"Huh?"

Somehow Caroline's room was a bit darker than before, maybe Caroline was still sleeping since she was up all night with her new baby. She had been losing sleep because of her new child, it must be hard for her to do all the work without Nero as well. They sleep in separate rooms since Nero usually sleeps in his engineer room due to long projects or upcoming projects.

Remila switched the lights and soon dropped the single hot coffee that spilled all over the carpet floor. It was because she saw an empty bed and an empty crib.

"Caroline!"

Remila ran out of the room to look for her in the headquarter. Her heels were too high to run and so the powers she got let herself float a few inches off the floor. She looked around the whole headquarter to find Caroline and her baby, but they were not anywhere. Her energy was draining, she was already weakened due to the lack of training her. 80% was left after an hour, then she finally outside to find them.

"Caroline! Caroline!"

There wasn't an answer around the middle of nowhere. This place had nothing but rocks and sand, Remila realized that this was her first time going outside for years, but still, she flew around with her powers still activated in about 70% left. She frantically flew around the area with full speed, her energy was decreasing fast, she searched and searched for the sister that she never had. Caroline taught her the joys of being a woman, she was kind, and one day, she told me this...

"Remi, do you swear that you're even more loyal to me, more than your father?"

The question had stop Remila's breathing, then she looked away.

"In time, you will know." she said as she rubbed her big belly and smiled.

Remila's eyes widen when she saw Caroline's body that had huge wound on her stomach, she was bleeding out of her organ. Remila ran towards her to press the wound, but the bleeding wouldn't stop. Her hands were covered in warm liquids that was pouring out of Caroline's body. Remila saw her opened eyes that was staring at me and she smiled at me.

"Stop it Caroline! You're scaring me!"

"It's...okay Remi," Caroline said in a weak laugh.

"No it's not okay! I was programmed to protect you! Please!"

Remila felt something that was coming out of my eyes, it was warm and dripping from her eyes. She seemed to have developed human feelings, Remila learned happiness, anger, but she never heard about sadness before. Her chest was choked up, even her throat was choked up, she couldn't breathe from her mouth.

Caroline used her bloody hand to touch the synthesis' cold cheek.

"It's okay Remi, I know that feeling, sadness is the most horrible feeling for women to feel."

"Caroline! Please I need you! You were like a sister to me!"

"You always say that Remi, now listen to me...go to your room and look under my pillow, you will see everything you want to know."

"No! I don't want to know everything! I want you to stay with me!"

"Are you loyal to me...Remi? Or are you...loyal to...your father?"

"Huh?...No!"

Remila grabbed her fallen bloodied hand that was falling off my cheek. Her hand was suddenly getting cold and she looked at her eyes that was still opened.

"Caroline! Wake up! Wake up!" Remila cried at the top of her lungs when Caroline was no longer speaking. The poor synthesis was covered in blood, she was covered in these watery things on her face.

She was...sad…

Remila did what Caroline said and she found a bunch of hidden pads that seemed to be Caroline's journals. It was something private that she did not want anyone to see. She did told Remila that she will look at it someday, she actually don't know why, but she had to see it since she was more loyal to her then my own father and Nero.

Remila started reading and my eyes widen.

Day ?- What should I do? I'm already there with my boyfriend since we wanted to run away together when he got me pregnant. It's okay, school was always a bogus with a drunken father and a failing mother, but I was wrong… My baby was premature in eight months and it was still healthy with a normal size of an average baby! That man must of drugged me to speed up my pregnancy progress! I learned about Remila's 09s DNA that will be tested on my child to make a human with abnormal powers!

Day ?- I wasn't the only one, there were multiple woman's head in Remila's room! This family a psycho, but I couldn't escape now! That poor synthesis got herself into this, but she told me that her father was always nice to her. She is crazy too! Maybe I can let her get me some information on the tower's exit.

Last Day- I'm sorry Remila, but I used you to try and help me escape. I put sleeping drugs on everyone's coffee, so that my child and I can escape. If you're still there, I will come and get you. I promise...

"Huh?"

Remila was confused, the moment she let her eyes peered onto this journal was perhaps full of lies, or it was truth all along. She knew the testing, she knew the woman's heads in her room, and she knew about her father's plan to bring more friends for Remila.

She hid the journals from under the pillow again, she didn't want to believe that her father was a criminal for the women in here. Remila was approached with thrown objects, angered words, and fear. She learned not to care about the humans until she met Caroline that told her that she acted like her mentally disabled sister. Not knowing the world, trying to learn everything, and yet uncooperative on most things that are unfamiliar to her.

Who are you loyal to?

Those words echoed in her head, there was nothing that she can think of from the stirring words from both her father and Caroline. She wanted to get some fresh air to refresh her mind, but then when the door opened.

"Father?!" Remila stare down at the old man on a machined wheelchair.

"Remila, it seems that you are not sad anymore."

"Father, but I am still sad." Remila hung her head, "I don't what I can do to help, even by helping Caroline's baby!"

"I believe that the baby died," the father sighed.

"What?! But it was okay!"

"The baby had SIDS, Caroline is gone, and you are the only one left that can help us."

"Help you?" Remila tilted her head, then she heard footsteps coming in this very room.

"Now Remila, I knew that I've should of done this a long time ago, but we had to take our time to install a reproductive system from our women's dead wombs for you. An artificial sperm wouldn't affect an artificial human either, and you're the only one left standing in our tower. Our only female left until we find another one."

Remila didn't know on what was going on, but she shrugged her shoulders since father needed help anyway. Nero was here, next to his father that started at her eyes. Remila felt that he looked even more different than before.

"Father is this true? Did you take away my friends just for giving humans power? Using my DNA as a subject to have them grow and die?"

"Remila...that's enough."

"Making me take their heads as a keepsake?! They don't even talk to me anymore! Father, you lied to me! You told me that you wanted to save humanity, but instead you're ruining them! Especially to all women you exposed to your experiments! You destroyed those women by ruining their reputation to live! You lied, you cheated, and you neglected their second chances at life! No wonder mom tried to leave you and Nero! You were supposed to support with her and yet you still destroyed her life!"

Remila finally confessed to father, silent surrounded between them. She didn't think that she had it in herself from the time being with her father before he became ill. All that time on ignoring the cries and the screams from eighteen women that had been in this headquarter. No one...respected one women other than Remila...

"...Now Remila lay down please," the father said without a tone to make from Remila's data.

"Father, the floor is uncomfortable." Remila whimpered with her trembling lips.

"Do as I say!"

"!"

Remila saw a gun pointing towards her, and even the strange new tone that her father gave her. She swallowed her words and trembled her pale legs, she had to do exactly as her father said.

"Alright men, take her."

Remila heard heavy footsteps around her. Her stress made a sudden increase that made her artificial heart beat fast, as soon as hot hands touched her every skin. Remila's hands trembled from her stomach…

"Father...I'm scared…" Remila admitted.

"You'll feel better soon my dear child," Remila's father backed away from the room door.

"Daddy...where are you going? You can't leave me here!"

Remila now struggled, but she was locked down by the combination of men's strength that have seemed to weaken her powers. Father must of applied something on their hands, Remila was useless without her powers, but she didn't want to give up.

"Nooooo! Let me go! Let me go!"

There was nothing she can do...all she can do is to feel nothing but pain from her bottom and her top. Remila cried for the entire time, until she felt nothing...

Three days of horror past by, Remila was crouching on the floor with her stomach widen as if her stomach was about to explode. There was pain all over her body, her feeling this pain felt that it was an infinate amount of time.

"Remila! This child will soon become one of us! After this, you will defeat the fool right?" said her father that finally came back in this very room.

"..."

"Besides, he did shot Caroline, did he?"

"..."

Remila didn't know what to say, she kept on trying to push this huge bell away.

"My poor son is gone, he disappeared a long time ago, if only he were here to see this wonderful moment."

"..."

"Oh come on Remila! I'm sure he did that since Caroline was gone. Now then, someone will pick you up to deliver the child, you have done well, maybe this synthesis child will be a success this time."

Remila tried to get up from her heels, but an infinite pain from her back made her fall.

She took off her shoes and ran out of the headquarter with her bare foot touching on the cold, hard ground again.

"Hey! There she is!" called out one the scientist that found Remila. She feared for her life when she tried to run in the heavy weight on her stomach, she had no choice but to use her powers, even if it means killing those humans that gets in her way. She sent out a few powers to push away from the one who tried to run towards her.

"Be careful! She's a dangerous one!" said one of the soldiers.

"Don't harm the kid too!"

She was lucky for now, she use her powers to lift herself up to get away from my own father that wanted to harm this child. Yes, this child was hers...the child inside was hers indeed. He had done this for quite some time...she was going to take this one too.

"You mustn't!" Remila screamed from one of the men that pulled out a taser. She lifted her hand to release more of her power to force the man down, then...silent. She opened her eyes, the man with the taser was on the ground, but his eyes were wide opened.

Remila's feet slipped on the ground, she can no longer hear the man's beating heart. She looked at the other men with their eyes widen, Remila felt strange from her shaking hands with human blood on it.

"Ehehehe…" A laugh came out of her mouth, then she raised her hand to release her powers again. Her body felt replenished after killing this life.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Remila laughed until her stomach was in more agonizing pain when she shot down the men with her powers again. Now pleasure came back from her heart, the sense of making the others feel the same pain as she felt had never felt so good. Remila lifted herself with her powers under control. There was nothing she can do to have the remaining men near the entrance to just let them walk away without their blood sheding out of their body.

"This is so easy now! I recharged every time I kill somebody!" Remila screamed when the men screamed with her. She threw them, she stabbed them, and she learned on how her body replenished from killing somebody. The pain was gone...although, her stomach was still the same.

"Why are you doing this to us?!" cried one of the man who had a bleeding head crawled towards her and folded his knees on the ground.

"Ahahahaha! Refill my life! Make me whole again! You humans can help me right? With your life!"

Soon all of the men died in front of her, but Remila didn't care. There was too much pain going on for the last three days stuck in that room. She floated all the way towards the entrance to let herself be free, there was no one else that would like to stop her strange madness. Remila had to claim her freedom as a poor synthesis who was vaporized by those humans, betrayed, and sadden by giving her so much pain.

Remila thought she heard someone's footsteps coming towards her, so she had to fly away. She had to fly away from this headquarter that trapped her for many years. Although…

"Ahhhhhh!"

Remila a horrible cramping from her stomach, she tried to endure this pain, but instead she fell on the ground with blood coming out of her lower side. Soon her white skirt was becoming red, she didn't know what was going on, sweat and pain all over was getting in her way of freedom.

"Ahhhh!" Remila screamed again in the agonizing pain, then she felt a huge squeeze from her bottom side. "What is this?! Something is coming out!"

Remila thought that she heard footsteps near, her legs were spread, perhaps another person wanted to hurt her again, but nothing happened.

"Hey lady! Push!" said the deep voice.

Her eyes were closed and she could not see the person, however, she had to do what the mysterious man say. She pushed, something was stretching her lower muscle, and yet her oxygen level were getting lower.

"Got it!"

The man used his shirt to wrap a crying creature. Remila tried to open my eyes, but she was really tired from using too much strength. Her ears were still activated, she can hear the crying from the small thing, she heard this before. It was from the time when Caroline held her first child, Remila couldn't help herself but to know that this crying child was hers. She made a small smile, and lift her weak arms.

"My...child…" Remila couldn't breath for some reason, perhaps with the blood still flowing out from her bottom.

"Damn it! The bleeding won't stop! Hey! Don't give up yet! It's a girl! Come on!"

Caroline? What are you going to name your child?

If its a boy, then it'll be Lucifer. If its a girl, then it would be Enid. Aren't those wonderful names Remila?

"Enid…" Remila gasped out her last words, then she stopped breathing. She can still hear the echoing cries from her child, but she can't move her arms to calm it down.

Remila was dreaming, she saw Nero and Caroline together with their baby boy. She saw them with their fake smiles on their expression to act as family. I don't get it...what's wrong with them? Did something happened from my existence?

Her head was full of images, although static screens took over her vision. Remila had to blink twice, the images were gone.

Remila opened her eyes once again, her body was warm and floating on a strange, thick water. It was a wonderful feeling, but she cannot see the bubbles from her mouth since she was wearing an oxygen mask to breathe in. She thought she saw something, a human perhaps, anger welled up in her body. Her powers released from her systems to destroy the capsule.

The thick water began to spill down around the capsule, fear from the human's pointing their guns at her makes her want to laugh.

She was cold, partly naked, and embarrassed by first sight. She couldn't cover myself since they've already seen through me, so she let them stare.

She already heard an alarm going on, she sat there with my eyes closed when the water was dripping from her long hair.

She knew those humans...typical humans seem to fear her since she was a synthesis. There was nothing to think of from her odd, blank data, but she didn't care.

She was reborn.
