As Ken struggled to free himself from the iron grip of the red fang soldier, I kept my head low since I know it was too late and all sense of hope was lost. But as soon as my head went low, it raised up due to all of the abnormal and weird creatures around me. The noticeable features was things who had fur and flesh instead of scales and feathers. The ones with flesh looked like they were out of this world, but familiar. They looked much like the Molen and Rattar, Both are nomads, except one live underground and were thought to be an extinct race. The furry ones looked less out of this world, yet pretty strange, different snout, eyes, but from what I can tell our teeth looked the same, some of the furry creatures gnarled at the soldiers, one in particular was a white one, with blu-ish purple eyes, and a blue hue at the tip of it's tail. The eye's were dull and foggy, a sign of someone being experienced at torture, yet he was young, somewhere about 10 maybe.. Our eyes made contact, and this creature of fur made a surprising glance at me. A welcoming glance, but not in the good way, and just gave me a smirk. As the group of soldier's forced him into a iron door, I can hear banging and howls of pain, But it scared me, not of the sounds, but the small dents he is making to the iron door, before I was tossed into the room, I could figure out that the door was 3 to 4 inches thick, and it would take a great amount of force to even budge a small area in it. As the last sliver of light diminished between my eyes, I heard metal gears and electrical surges. I spun around to be greeted by groups of more furry creatures, these though are a melting pot of things. To start off one of them had long whiskers and a smooth whip-like tail that flicked with content. Others just looked like the bald rat except this time no longer bald, and then the same creatures I saw being dragged through rooms and hallways.

One of the things spoke.

"Alright let's see here, is this a new test subject?" The thing said while observing my body.

It let out a disappointed sigh and blurted out "A shame that this one is strong and perfectly healthy; Could have been a perfect soldier"

Test subject? Soldier? What are they talking about and more important; what are they going to do to me? As a different creature, now I'm assuming they're all scientists, frisks through the desk and pulls out papers I can't help it but feel a sense of a dark future ahead of me.

The next scientist reads the paper's.

"Project Shadowstalker ... I assume these are the new formula's?" Some of them nod.

"Lets see here ... Improved involuntary and voluntary muscles, multiplication of the cones and rods. So a boost in strength and stamina and the ability to have 'Night Vision' I presume?" All of them whisper and nod to each other.

"Then start the injection." he puts down the papers and struts away with the same long tailed creature and some other scientists.

I felt cold metal claws grip against my arm and lunge me to a chair, with multiple colors of liquid in serums with tiny hoses. I can feel more arms pressing me down while the serums lower to my whole body. The hoses start to pierce my skin, some places which made me cry out in pain and jump from tingling. The most painful, was my eyes. I could start seeing red and my body started to swell and feel like it's on fire. As my body keeps swelling up to the point of bursting, the light started to become brighter, more intense than the brightness of 3 suns, and warm tears poured out of my eye sockets, some of which landed in my mouth, which then I tasted it and confirmed it was blood.

The pain. The Agony.

Then, all white, then, all black.

I hear movement. Like shuffling footsteps and a gas mask, and a stroke against my face and all I could make out of the highly distorted babble was "Brother".

My eyes switched open.

As I woke up from god knows how much time I slept through, I could still feel swelling and the taste of blood, the room is spinning and I have a really bad headache. For the next minute or so I stay there and close my eyes to catch hold of the reality around me, unfortunately. So it wasn't a dream after all. As I opened my eyes again I could make out objects, highly distorted and blurred out, metal claws, the syringes, and the outline of a door. My eyes started to refocus and I was in the same metal room. I got off the table, and when my feet hit the ground a sharp pain shoot up my legs to my spine then my head, which toppled to me over to a nearby corner. I stayed there for has to be an hour before I could get up again, there was still pain but not as much. I limped over the door and slammed against it, slumping down against it. The door opened and scientist threw a box at me. It read "Ration Unit K" It was food. They threw a bottle a water in the door, then slammed it in front of me. I quickly scrambled and shredded the box to find dried up food. I searched around for the water and once I did, I started to eat.

I sat on the table,chewing my lab food hearing all the insane screams of laughter, shrills of pain, and the dying last breath of the elderly, and the chattering of scientists and hissing of their machines. I just nodded my head. This is just going to to get worse from here, better call this my home.
