We follow closely behind Dr. Jenkins and he leads us down another long hallway. This one is almost identical to the previous one that dad and I walked down on our way to meet up with Dr. Jenkins. White walls, odd doors. We take a sharp right into a doorway. This doorway is practically invisible because of the building's fine, precise white paint. We all follow close behind the doctor, down this new hallway. But this one is definitely different than the other hallways. It is three times as long as the other ones… as if the other hallways weren't long enough! And this hallway has all kinds of pictures on the walls. Directly under the pictures are cages that are somehow engraved into the walls themselves. Each of these cages has a different type of animal and a different date. Wow, this looks like the hallway that contains all of the beings that have been tested on. No wonder it's so long! For the first time... ever, I'm actually astonished by something that is inside of this building. It's just crazy to think that this organization has actually discovered every single type of creature out there and even the ones that no longer exist anymore.
Dr. Jenkins grasps his evil green arm through the white lab coat and notions with his head to us. "Come on people. Don't get left behind!"
We continue to quickly follow the doctor down the hallway and I stare, mesmerizingly at the cages and their dates. I lose track of the time while we walk, now almost sprinting down this hallways to a destination that only Dr. Jenkins knows about. I snap out of it when we start coming to familiar dates. 20,005... 20,006... and finally 20,007! I gaze at the creatures that I now recognize. There's even a cage with a Hypist in th-! Not paying attention to what I'm doing causes me to run right into my dad who has joined everyone else in stopping. I notice that Dr. Jenkins is standing in front of a door and I peer deeper inside of the cage next to the door... It's empty. This must be where they were supposed to put Project P! But even though the cage is empty, I can imagine what should be in there. I can imagine those deadly eyes burning like a flame... like a firry flame! The shock pushes me backwards.
Dr. Jenkins addresses us. "These are the FCI testing rooms. Ever since we first started fusion-cloning, we've been putting all of the records of each creature into these rooms. And this room is our latest! All of the records that we have on Project P are located in this room directly behind me."
As he says the creature's name, I freeze and think to myself, "Project P... Project Perfect. Why did they ever create that thing? Why did they have to go this far... This whole thing is unbelievable! To think that the world will end this suddenly..."
Dr. Jenkins turns around, now facing the door. Only one foot away from the answer. The answer to everyone's problem... The answer that will solve everything is looking Dr. Jenkins directly in his face. He lifts his left hand, still normal for the most part, but starting to turn dark green and pale. And then, lifting a long, gruesome claw, he presses a button beside the door. It opens quickly and abruptly, releasing bright, blinding lights onto all of our faces. I blink a few times, getting use to the change in lighting and then we follow Dr. Jenkins into the room. It is painted white, exactly like the hallway that we were previously in; no smudges, no finger or claw prints... Completely empty and flawless. The room is large but definitely nothing compared to the huge room which Project P made his first actual appearance. We step inside and the door closes behind us. The doctor walks all the way to the back wall, pressing what seems to be an invisible button hidden beneath the fine, white paint. It causes a small sample tray to slowly eject from the wall in front of us.
I think to myself while I stand there in amazement. "This place is great! I would have thought that this was just an ordinary, empty room if I wasn't here to see the sample tray eject from the wall." I glance over to my dad and even he is in shock. It looks like even though he is one of the main people of FCI, there are some things that even he doesn't know about.
Dr. Jenkins raises his left hand to his mouth, biting off one of his claws and puts it on the tray; reinserting it into the wall. The room is deftly quiet for a moment... and then the tray ejects the claw and we hear a robotic voice from inside of the room starting to yell. "INCORRECT ACCESS CODE! INCORRECT ACCESS CODE! ACCESS DENIED! ACCESS DENIED!"
Red and blue flashing lights surround the room, including us! Even the bright lights dim and seem to be focusing intensely on us right now. The door slides open and we turn to face the figures waiting for us at the door. Four MCGs, all trying to desperately cram into the doorway simultaneously!
My dad turns to Dr. Jenkins who is confused from the fact that his sample was rejected. "Why are they trying to attack us? What was wrong with your access code!?"
The doctor seems to ignore my dad's attempts to obtain answers. Just then, Dr. Jenkins' eyes turn red, exactly like Project P! "Follow me." He tells us, running top speed towards the MCGs, just as they start getting through the doorway. He jumps at them, head first and seems to be hovering in the air. And then that's when I realize, he's not hovering! He's flying! Four horrific wings have sprouted from the doctor's back, through his lab coat and are full stretched! He knocks over every single one of the MCGs without flapping his new wings even once. He then still manages to land on his feet a few feet from the doorway and pile of baffled MCGs.
He turns to us, now a few feet from the ground and flapping his wings. "Come on! Let's go!" We quickly scatter under him and start running down the long hallway again.
The MCGs start standing up and perusing us with great effort. The flying behemoth known as Dr. Jenkins looks backwards at the MCGs for a second and then explains himself. "My access code... I can't believe it! My access code must've been altered by Project P's virus! We've engineered the access code to be entirely unique and even more complex than a person's DNA. It should've been the last to change if it was to even change at all!" He punches a wall in anger as he flies only a few feet above us. "ARGH! My access code is the only one certified to open this specific testing room! And now we'll never get inside!"
He now stops and turns around to face the charging MCGs. Their nitrogen boosters are so loud that I almost have to cover my ears. Even though there are only four of them, the sound rivals 40 air ships trying to land only yards away from you. We also halt with Dr. Jenkins to face our predators. "There's nowhere to run... No time to hide... I must fight! Go! They're not after you! I'm the one they want!" We watch the MCGs charge closer, and closer, and closer and then...
