Runaway Ninja finds the Ultimate Lifeform
"Okay, the info from Helena's sources said that the secret lab should be around here somewhere." A young woman said, looking around inside an abandoned building that is deep in the jungle.
She's a slender, physically-fit and petite young woman with copper-brown hair color tied into a ponytail and amber eyes. She wears a blue-and-white, puff sleeve tunic with swans on the skirt and a sash that holds the Shrouded Moon, thigh-high tabi, sandals with shinguards, hand guards with metal wristbands, and a choker. She also carries a short katana stripe to her waist on the back. Breasts sizes: FF-cup.
"I'm actually surprise to find a place like this here, I must've run pass here a few times and I never notice while being a runaway ninja." The young woman admitted.
"Still, this lab was built by Donovan's men meaning there could be some clues about Alpha -152, if not then I'll just destroy this whole place to the ground." The ninja girl declared as she continues looking around.
Then she heard a ringing noise coming from her right ear, revealing to be an earpiece and she passes on it with two fingers to answer the call.
"Kasumi, any updates?" A woman's voice asked through the earpiece.
"Nothing yet, Miss Helen, everything doesn't seem to be out of the ordinary." Kasumi reported.
"According to the data my sources got, you should find something at one of the corners that is not alive." Helena informed.
"Something that is not alive? I hope it's not a corpse." Kasumi said as he starts looking at each of the corner in the building until she found one with a small pink flower.
"A flower?" Kasumi said, curious as she touches the flower only to find something odd about it.
"It's plastic…" Kasumi realized and pulls the plastic flower which trigger a clicking sound then the wall opens on her left.
"Miss Helena, I think I found the entrance of the secret lab." Kasumi reported.
"Be extremely careful, there could be traps to keep out intruders." Helena warned.
"Understood, I'll report in anything I find." Kasumi replied before walking in the tunnel.
The tunnel is dark at first then lights started turning on all the way to the end leading Kasumi to a large room and finding a single big metal capsule with strange green liquid inside. She also sees some computers around and big screens hanging on the walls, though all of them are off and papers on floor that may hold information about whatever M.I.S.T. was doing here.
"I wonder what they were doing here?" Kasumi asked herself. She spotted one of the papers and picks up one reading what it says.
"Project… Ultimate Lifeform? It would seem they were working on something different than Alpha-152." Kasumi said, looking at the metal capsule upon closer inspection she gasps of seeing a young man inside.
The young man appears to be the same age as Kasumi with tan-peach shinned color and six spiky black hair, four of which curve upwards and two that curve downwards, and red stripes on them. He is wearing a black skintight suit with a circle-like red symbol with two spikes on the top and two more on the bottom, there are also some wires with suction cups on some parts of his body probably use to check for the condition of his body like at a hospital.
"Who is that? Could he be part of this project?" Kasumi asked as she goes to one of the computers hoping that it's still functioning.
Lucky for her, the computer turned on along with others and the big screens on the wall as she looks through the files and took out a hard-drive that was given to her by Helena to gather some data of the secret lab and that it will also send the data its gathering right into the boss lady's computer.
"It would seem that Project Ultimate Lifeform was intended on making a living cure for all diseases even the uncurable ones, and it looks like they were close to success. However, it would seem the whole project was stopped right after that finished it." Kasumi wondered what exactly was M.I.S.T. up to with this living cure plan as she looks back the sleeping young man.
"I wouldn't be surprise if M.I.S.T. took him against his will, the lives they destroyed just for their experiments including my brother. I swear I will put an end to them!" Kasumi angered, remembering how she almost lost her brother before.
"Miss Helena, do you read me?" Kasumi contacted, hoping the secret lab isn't jamming the single.
"Yes, I read you Kasumi, did you find anything?" Helena responded.
"This lab doesn't hold anything about Alpha-152, but I found something that might be just as important." Kasumi reported while looking for a button or a switch to open the capsule.
"Really, what did you find?" Helena asked.
"I already put in the hard-drive you gave me, it should be sending you the data." Kasumi informed.
"Hmm, yes, I got it… My, this Project Ultimate Lifeform is certainly something I never thought Donovan would be interest in. Maybe he's searching for a way to become immortal or something." Helena guessed.
"I'm not sure if that's the case, but whatever they were planning they immediately stopped right after they finished. I even found the one who was the test subject here as well." Kasumi mentioned about the mysterious young man.
"Really? Is he alright?" Helena asked worry.
"He looks okay, it would seem the strange green liquid he's is keeping his body in shape despite being abandoned here for who knows how long." Kasumi answered.
"I see, and I also just got the name of our sleeping prince. His is… Shadow." Helena revealed the young man's name.
"Shadow, sounds like an odd name for being a living cure." Kasumi commented, then she finally found the button that may open the capsule.
"Miss Helena, I'm going to open the capsule to free him, I'm thinking about bringing him back for questioning." Kasumi said.
"Let's hope he doesn't try to attack you if he wakes up now, just be caution of this one. We don't know if he even knows anything about Donovan or M.I.S.T.'s plans." Helena stated.
"Maybe so, but he any know what the purpose of Project Ultimate Lifeform was." Kasumi said.
"Very well, and the hard-drive has finished downloading all the data that lab has, I'll have a helicopter to come pick you up when you are done." Helena said.
"Thank you, Miss Helena." Kasumi thanked before hanging up.
The moment she presses the button, red lights starts flashing all around the room with a loud alert siren going off as all the screens blink the word "ALERT" and the green liquid in the capsule is being drain out from the bottom into the hole like a toilet being flush after being used. After the capsule is completely empty, the wires holding Shadow lowers him down gentle laying him on the floor and they come off as a door opens in front of Kasumi giving her the chance to dash into the capsule to check on Shadow herself.
"Okay, now let's get out of here." Kasumi said as she picks up the sleeping test subject carrying him over her shoulder and make her way to the tunnel.
But she stops right when she was about to enter the tunnel again getting a bad feeling that danger is approaching to her and Shadow fast, she turns around to see another door is opening on the other side and red lights shines from within the darkness. Then they all pop out revealing themselves to be robotic monkeys as they screech wildly as they lock on to Kasumi scanning her to be an intruder and they are program to destroy all intruders.
"So much for getting out easy…" She looked at the sleeping Shadow, worry that fighting them while protecting him could be difficult. Gently putting him down leaning his back on the wall of the tunnel.
(Music-Purity: Dead or Alive 5 Kasumi's Theme)
"You stay right here, this won't take long." Kasumi said as she ready herself in her fighting stance then charge the robot monkeys.
The robot monkeys screech louder, and they all charge to Kasumi in groups though that didn't matter to the Runaway Ninja girl as she elbow-punch the first one sending flying and crashing the others behind it, she dodges a punch and kick from two by ninja-teleport away letting them hit each other instead. Then Kasumi reappears above some and dives toward one robot monkey smashing its head with her feet, she blocks an incoming punch with her arm then counter with a strong spin-kick to the head. Three robot monkey charge straight at her for a combining assault to overpower her with few numbers, but the ninja girl proven them wrong as she is able to block and dodges their strikes until she sees an opening which she palm-strike one in the face then she split-kick the two's head off. The brown-haired girl quickly blocks a drop kick from one and pushes it aside to throw a powerful upper cut, she dashes to two with quick strikes that knocks them away, and kick one in the chest then backflip to send it crashing to one of the big screens. She notices five robot monkeys climbing up the wall and jump at her, so she jumps toward them spinning around fast as she pulls out her katana slicing them into pieces, then she three noticing Shadow and tries to go over to him.
"No!" Kasumi shouted as she threw her katana at the robots piercing through all three of them as the sword impales itself to a wall.
Just as Kasumi was about to land from the backflip, one metal primate grabs her legs and slams her to the ground face first, but she quickly recovers and threw a kunai at the head making it let go and she kicks it away. As soon as she got back up, she fends off against four monkey bots back to back, she quickly punches one in the chest, elbow strike in the second, straight kick to the third, and she backflip grabbing the fourth one's head and twisting it rip its head off. Kasumi saw two coming at her from both sides, so she teleported away as they attacked each other.
(Music End)
However, when Kasumi reappears one grabbing both her arms and legs then pins her to the ground to prevent her from moving anymore as she struggles to break free, but then a dozen robot monkeys started dog pile on her while some are kicking on the side as Kasumi's groans in pain.
Kasumi tries to mustard the strength to break free from the pile that's on top of her, but they were just too many of them to even get up on her knees. She looks through the monkeys to see Shadow leaning against the wall where she left him as Kasumi knows that deep down Kasumi can feel that Shadow has also suffered lose mostly because of M.I.S.T. and she wants to help him.
Then her eyes widen when she saw one of the monkey bots running to toward Shadow probably to put him back into the big capsule.
"SHADOW?!" Kasumi shouted out his name.
The instant Kasumi said Shadow's name, just as the robot monkey was about to touch him, Shadow's eyes finally opens revealing them to be red eyes and are faintly glowing.
Kasumi thought about using every last of her chi to power through the monkeys though this may leave to empty and exhausted to fight, hopefully she can still help Shadow leave this place, but before Kasumi could put her plan into motion. The monkey bot that was after Shadow is sending flying pass the pile with a broke face and suddenly something bright and red smashes through all the monkey bots that were on top of Kasumi setting her free.
Kasumi is surprised that something had just save her life from the beating she was getting, then she looks around to see all the robot monkeys are getting destroyed by a blinding speed black-red blur in a few short seconds. Kasumi wasn't sure what's going on, but she quickly realizes something and look at the tunnel to find Shadow is not there anymore which can only mean one thing.
"This… this is Shadow's doing." Kasumi surprised, she now sees Shadow standing right in front of her while looking down at her as there is nothing left but broken and pieces of the robot monkeys everywhere.
Kasumi never knew that Shadow could have power like this, moving faster than she can barely keep track and strength to smashes through the bots with ease, she thought that Shadow was supposed to be a living cure, but it looks like Shadow did the opposite when he was dealing with those monkey robots.
"Who are you?" Shadow asked, speaking out his first words in a long time.
"Oh, my name is Kasumi, I was sent to this laboratory to investigate then I found you here." Kasumi explained.
"…How long was I in here for?" Shadow asked again as he looks around.
"I don't know, but you don't have to worry about being in here anymore, Shadow." Kasumi assured that Shadow will have his freedom.
"Shadow… is that my name?" Shadow asked which shocks Kasumi.
"Yes, your name was in the data here and said that you were a test subject a project called the Ultimate Lifeform." Kasumi said.
"Project… Ultimate Lifeform… what the hell is that supposed be?" Shadow asked, being more confused now.
"Shadow, do you really not remember anything from your time here or before that?" Kasumi asked.
"No, all I remember is my name, and the rest are just blanks." Shadow said, scratching his head.
"Oh, I see…" Kasumi said.
"(This isn't good, if he doesn't remember anything about M.I.S.T. then we're at a dead-end and Shadow doesn't have anywhere as well.)" Kasumi thought worried for the young man, fearing he has lost everything in his life including who he once was.
But what Kasumi doesn't know is that meeting Shadow here and waking him up is the start of something big that's going to happen in the world and Shadow will most likely be at the very certain as he too will find out more about himself and the power he wields.
