Chapter Five: Lost in time

I walked into the lab testing area ten minutes late. I had forgotten my wallet and I was hungry. I saw Two struggling to put her hair into two side buns below her ears. One was sprawled out on the floor bored. I really didn’t want to be here just as much as they wanted to be.

“Do you wear that hoodie all the time?” One asked smugly. I frowned. If he was some scientist or general I would’ve already knocked him into the wall. I hate when people messed with my hood. I hated drawing a crowd and my ears and tail don’t seem help much. With my hood on I can at least hide one of those distractions. Apparently though if I destroy my newer ‘models’ I have to stay longer and be punished more…

“I wash it every other day.” I suppress my anger. He only grinned. That made it worse the kid, I’m going give him the worst of it. Let’s see who is grining then.

“Proto can you help me put my hair up please before we start.” Two asked.

“Does it look like I know how to style hair?” I asked.

“I was just asking.”

“If you’re my newer models how fast do you think you’ll have time to get ready when a virus attack happens?” I growled again.

“Prototype!” A man in sweat ran to me. “Prototype a virus attack is happening to floor seventy-six!”

“Alright.” I turned my watch that I hid under my hood activated startin to send me to the fight scene.

“Proto!” One and Two scream as I started to transport. These kids knew absolutely nothing of this because they must’ve thought I was being disintegrated. Before I could react they threw themselves at me. Boom! Clank! The sound of shots being fired hitting against the metal viruses. The viruses were made of almost a liquid metal that was hard to attack. Their cybernetic optics glow a orange-yellow. They always came and changed forms which was the hard part about being ahead of them. They always have had long claws or just a scythe like hands.

“You idiots! You just put yourself in the battlefield without any armour or protection!” I yelled. They looked at me quizzically. They saw that when I transport into battle I changed as well. My outfit becomes my black leather jacket with spiked shoulders and two long loose ends of it’s tie around belt with spikes hanging down. My trans metal under armour that masked my face like a ninja up to my nose. And the traditional ninja pants and shoes.

“We’re sorry!” They clung to me. I stood up there must be twenty or so viruses attacking. I noticed one charging at the three of us and slammed it to the ground.

“Hey captain! Keep an eye on those kids! Protect them!” I yelled as I knocked out one of it’s optics. My claws were more deadlier than any of the guns around. I had a sword though just in case. I didn't bother for guns.I hated them. No one can blame me can they? I looked back as I sliced the upper jaw off the virus killing it instantly. That was one of the few ways to kill them. Under jaw, collar bone, back of the neck. That’s the only way to kill one and a gun doesn’t help with those hard to reach places.

“Ah!” Two screamed as the squad was practically thrown away from them. I rushed to the kids. I shoved them away from the direct blow to the chest in three jagged claws. To my surprise it managed to get past the trans metal armour. I started to bleed out on the side. Before the next blow that tripped me up I shoved them away again. Before long a second virus started attacking. All I had time to do was keep the kids moving. My body was starting to slow and my vision blurred. Before I knew it my body moved to its own accord. I slashed at the viruses and it created a whip like streak that erupted as quickly as it was made sending pieces of the whip into them that killed them all instantaneously. “Proto!” Two yelled as I collapsed.

When I awoke again I immediately sat up which was a big mistake. I hit my head on the glass berth that held me one too many times. I lifted the glass up off it’ henges and sat up scratching my head.

“I’m surprised you’re up already. You shouldn't be able to even sit up in your condition.” Tadashi stood by the doorway.

“I’m hungry dammit! Just get me some tuna and shrimp and I'll be fine!” I yelled holding my growling stomach. Tadashi shook his head and pulled open a box. He passed it to me containing the food I wanted. “You had this already out?”

“Yes, while patching your wounds up your stomach kept growling.” He explained.

“Then how’d you know what I wanted?” I glared him down.

“You’re a cat.”

“I’m a human experimentation because of you! I am a human!”

“You’re a weapon of mass destruction. You probably didn’t even notice what you did to yourself battling those viruses.” Tadashi reached for the ‘sound the alarm prototype’s on a rampage again’ button.

“Where’d you put my hood and clothes?” I asked reaching for my missing choker.

“You cannot leave with those wounds!”

“Since when did you care cold blood?”

“Remember your place Prototype!”

“I will not be called that anymore! I want my real name back and I want Airi!”

“Not until your job is done!”

“Sure put little kids who have no names in the field to get killed because of you they can’t have their names either!” I stood walking to the usual place he tries to hide my clothing away. Locking them in a metal locker in the room. I ripped the metal door off and grabbed my belongings.

“That’s the tenth time you’ve done that!”

“What are you going to do about it huh? If you don’t want me to then tell me the combination! Charge me if you want! Send your pathetic squad to come after me I don’t care!” I walked out. I walked home in the full recovery suit that they put on nearly dead experiments. I didn’t care. I wore it before and it didn’t bother me. It was a full body suit that covered you up to your neck and down to your feet. It’s white fabric that conformed to the body and eerie greenish blue flora liquid that went like veins across it healing me slowly as I walked along. I slipped my hoodie on and kept moving. Some people stared at me like I was going to kill them. I didn’t care it’s not like they’d listen. Besides I bet I was pretty frustrated and scary looking as I moved along.

I got to my house and slipped into my sleep shorts. I placed my hoodie in the washer along with the rest of my dirty clothes. I cooked some udon noodles and mixed in some carrots, corn, a little chicken, and honey soy. I ate to my hearts content filling it full. After that I washed my dishes and relaxed on the couch. I played some soft pop and read the mystery book I had been reading.

Vrrp! Vrrp! I looked at my phone and picked it up. A text message from Tadashi:

From: Tadashi

To: Me

Message:

You're only getting off this time because of your wounds. If the flora liquid turns yellow it’s running out and you need to come back. If not you’ll feel the extent of your pain and bleed out again. Next week if you haven't returned I will come after you and check your wounds whether you like it or not. 1/2/3114

I was out for two days? Great now I definitely want to go somewhere with Tadashi and beat him to the ground. Since when did he ever care about me? He hated me and Airi. I bet he only brought her back to kill the two of us after we’re happily reunited after these ten years. I sighed. I had aged another year now and was asleep the whole time. I knew my birthday had to be in December after christmas or the beginning of the new year because Airi always seemed down and sometimes she stare off looking at me. I figured it was around the thirty first of December or the first of January because that was when it was the worst. Either that or I just couldn’t ever remember her and she wanted to tell me how I was. She wanted to spend time with me.

I went to bed and laid there looking up. I felt sorry for One and Two because they may have parents missing them but were just like Airi who aren’t allowed to tell them who they are. It only added to my anger with Tadashi and his cold heartedness. I didn’t want him to ruin other’s lives as well. After I walked into the lab the next week I was looking left and right. They ripped off the suit and revealed the lacerations to my torso and arms. I must’ve gotten hit twenty times over. I didn’t really feel anything anymore because most of them were scars healing up. But I could tell by the others they had been deeper before.

After an hour of them removing the stitches I was allowed to leave. I walked down the hallway with my normal wear on. I noticed one of the scientist who worked on me when I first came into this world had walked out of their office leaving it ajar. I swooped in closing and locking the door. Luckily they left their computer logged in. I opened the files program. Dozens upon thousands appeared each labeled with different symbols. I looked back through the door and back to the screen. I plugged in my VX3 to the computer and copied all the files. I then exited out of the files and left it the way it looked. Opened the door and left it cracked like it was.

I walked home and searched through the files. I typed in: Experiment A

At least there were around a hundred files most with my name on them. and only four others were about One and two. I pulled One’s up:

Experiment Animal One:

Name: Kayayo

Age: 13

Family: Deceased in car wreck. Sibling, Shiria survived in critical condition along with him.

Gene split: German Shepherd

Tadashi log- Experiment A One has lost his memories as well as the first try. The ability of strength and speed seems to be forcing itself into him along with the protection behavior of the shepherd.

I looked at that again. He was protective of Two. I was furious about Tadashi’s log sounding like he didn’t much care about what happened. I then went to Two’s:

Experiment Animal Two:

Name: Shiria

Age: 12

Family: Deceased in car wreck. Sibling, Kayato survived in critical condition along with her.

Gene split: Husky

Tadashi log- Experiment A two has also lost her memories as a side effect. She seems take well to others quickly with no sign of strength or speed. She seems to heal faster though and is more accurate and intelligence.

Apparently Tadashi didn’t care. How am I suppose to train the girl? Teach her to throw knifes? I won’t teach her to use a gun! I then looked at my own:

Experiment Awake:

Name: Ryouya

Age: 8

Family: Airi and Tadashi Yamazaki

Process: Heart is 3/8ths repaired. Still in stasis.

Expected awaking: In three more years. At the age eleven.

Why was mine different? I continued to scroll down:

Updated status:

Experiment Animal Prototype:

Name: Ryouya

Age: 8

Family: Airi and Tadashi Yamazaki

Process: Heart is 7/8ths repaired. still in stasis.

Expected awakening: In six more months. At the age nine.

Gene split: Siamese/Tabby mix

Tadashi log- The malfunction in the lab two months ago has changed Ryouya’s genetics. He has quickly changed his speed of healing but a gene split has occurred. He has become half animal and has gained flexibility, expanded senses, strength, and intelligence. My son had completely changed…

I read over the last sentences over again. Was I an accident? Did I really die and something happened to change me when I came back to life? I wondered what happened to me and why he hated me if I was his son. If it was accident what was the point to hate me? I decided to keep quiet. At least for now...
