"LOCKDOWN INITIATED!." A robotic voice comes from the sound system, with sirens blaring.
The lights turn off, leaving only the red emergency lights on.
'What's happening?' This was a common thought that every person inside the facility was thinking.
The security, on the other hand, were preparing themselves with guns.
"Captain, what the hell is happening?" A young guard asks his captain, who is an older man, his face, spot a large scar and a white beard.
"Don't know, the radio is dead, so we can assume that we are on our own." The captain said this while finishing gearing up.
The rest of the unit is doing the same.
"All right, listen up, everybody. We don't know what happened; we have to check the security room to find out what happened. Go together and pay attention to you six and
and teammate, don't fuck up!" The captain bellows to his troops, who all shout in agreement.
Then they start their journey in the dark.
After walking on the halls, they took the elevators.
"Damn, even the elevators are off. All right, everybody paired up and scattered. Find survivors. Stay sharp!"
The captain bellows to his troop
They divided themselves into seven pairs and started to investigate the places.
Oblivious to the predator watching them from the shadows
"Dude, what the hell did you think happened here?" A guard asks his partner
"Dunno Man, clearly some of those freaks had walked into the electric cables again," the other guard sneers as he thinks about those freaky creatures that were on the levels above.
Thump!
A sound in the dark broke the two talks.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yeah, lets go check."
The two guards point the guns forward and make their way inside the lab, where the sound came from, into the dark. Only with their flashlights can they give them light.
They enter the lab, and they scan the room tactfully, finding no one or anything wrong.
But when they see that one of the large cabinets is ajar, they point their guns at it.
"I'm going to check. Cover me." One of them informs the other, who nods.
The guard slowly walks up to the cabinet, keeping his gun pointed at it all the while.
His hands moving to the handle, he held it firmly.
Count to three and pull open.
And
A medical skeleton wearing a doctor coat falls off the cabinet, scaring the shit out of the guards.
"FUCK/SHIT!!" The two guards shout together in surprise.
They almost shot at it, but the manager held back.
The guard who opened looked at his partner, confused.
"What?" His partner asked him
"How did that go inside the closet?" The guard was a bit confused by this kindergarten-level prank.
"Probably some Pun-Ackg!" The guard would have finished his phrase if it weren't for the fact that he spit a bit of blood from his mouth.
The metalic taste in his mouth was telling him what it was.
Then he suddenly felt pain in his chest, flaring up, and at the same time, his body felt numb and heavy.
He could feel his vision darkening, and in a last use of strength, he looked down on his chest to see what was causing the pain.
He looks down and sees an arm.
Shoved through his chest
Then black and red tendrils
Then he saw no more.
After consuming the guard, Alex looked at the other guard, who was still frozen in fear and terror.
And didn't waste more time.
Alex grabs the shocked guard and slams him on the ground, then punches him repeatedly.
Black and red tendrils start to appear out of Alex's body and consume the guard, leaving nothing behind.
Alex stands up and starts to walk out of the room when a strange sensation spreads through his body.
His whole body shifting as a wave of red and black tendrils wash over him
The tendrils then start to retract back, making Alex open his eyes.
He feels his arms and hands different, and when he looks at it
He let out a smirk
Alex POV:
I concentrate a little bit, and I can shift my arms back to normal, then claw again and back and forth.
The change takes less than a second.
I didn't think that my power was capable of doing what I could do.
I didn't think that having these powers would be like this.
My clothes, hair, and skin are all connected.
My whole body is biomass.
At first was weird; when you live 20 years with internal organs or any organs at all, you find strange not having any at all and being able to see 360° degrees.
I had a mini-heart attack when I realized that I didn't have a heartbeat or a heart at all.
And also having complete control over my form is a bit weird as well.
I first thought It would be like in the games.
But I, with a shadow of doubt, underestimated it.
I can completely change my form in any way that I want.
Have more than 2 arms; change my limbs out of order.
I can even have a Lovecraftian form full of tendrils and biomass that would give any person nightmares.
My whole, if I had to guess, is like a symbiote; I can shapeshift my body in any way I want.
Go from Slime to Man to full-body Monstrocity in less than a second, and I have no idea why my face is Dylan O'Brien, but I am not complaining.
Other things that I didn't think were possible are my ability to consume and my biokinesis.
Every single thing that I have consumed I can change, manipulate, or alter its DNA and genes.
I can make it better by adding or removing certain genes.
And I can also clash genes against one another, making them evolve.
That's how I got nightvision.
I was using thermal vision to walk through the dark, and I bumped on a couple of cold walls.
I wished to be able to see in the darkness.
And Voila!
I was shocked at first but got the hang of it very fast.
With more people consumed, I can do
I just imagine If I start to absorve animals or even metahumans
I'm not going to go the same road the original Alex would go, with his whole 'lets infect the whole world plan of dominance,' but I am not going to be a goody. two shoes hero
Those monsters who think they can destroy people's lives and think they can get away are going to pay.
My fusion with this Alex really changed me; I am him and he is me.
Originally, I would be completely freaking out and horrified about killing and consuming people.
But after having Alex memories, how I got tortured and experimented on by The Light
I became very desensitized to violence and death.
And the value of human life is extremely low to me, especially the guilty ones.
About my other weapons and abilities, I'm going to need more biomass.
I am still very weak from the radiation; I got some resistance from it but still hurt like a bitch.
When I was playing prototype, I thought that I got how strong Alex Mercer was; now having his power, I can't even imagine
I walk out of the room and walk down the hallway.
But a sign caught my attention.
Genetics laboratory
I never had the to fight a smirk so hard on my life.
================================================================
Genetics laboratory
Alex POV:
Following Dr Williams Memories I already have a pretty good idea of what It's in there
Inside the laboratoty I find a lot of experiment on tubes filled with a liquid
The laboratory is huge.
I walk around and see what is in those tubes.
Distorform corpses, some more human, others downright monstrous.
Some appear to have mutated out of control, having more limbs or having gills and scales.
I find a central computer with power on.
Odd...
And start to put My-Dr. Williams credentials
'Geez, having the entire memory of another person really fuck with someone's sense of himself,' I think to myself.
"Please put your hand to inspection." I read out loud what the computer was saying.
I shift my hand to Dr. Williams and put it on the digital inspector.
It reads my digital, then blips in green in confirmation.
'Welcome, Doctor Williams.' I read the messages.
Then I start to access everything.
Williams originally wasn't in a very high position, but after he had become a Desmond assistant, his security access had to be upgraded.
I start accessing every single thing that catches my eye.
Gnomorphs
Atlanteans DNA study
Krypitonian DNA study
Clone projects
How about 40% percent of the employees are clones?
Mainly some low-level guards who are lesser clones of Deathstroke
Or some doctors who are clonned because it's 'Cheaper.'
Experiments about mixing alien DNA with human DNA:'It appears that the Younger the subject the best the changes are stabilized, the last subject who was 14, manage to survive for 2 whole day before its demise, a younger test subject would requeried
Doctor Victoria Carlton
Monsters
All of them
Curbing my rage, I again start to read Cadmus files again.
'Project Sleeping Dogs', huh? Interesting.
This project is about kidnappin and cloning sidekicks, family, or even heroes to get information, manipulate heroes, or act as sleeper agents for the Light.
This is horrible beyond measure.
And they already got one.
Roy 'Speedy' Harper
He got kidnapped about three years ago, got his right arm chopped off to be used as a supply of DNA for cloning, and it is currently on... this building basement?
.....Well
Fuck the plot
but before...
I grab a pendrive that I got from one of my vict-Enemies and plug it in.
That's something that was extremely overlooked in the games: the ability of Blacklight to be able to consume and replicate tech.
I wonder if I can make some airpods out of biomass.
But for now, a pendrive made of biomass is all I can do for now.
I made two copies, one of the pendrive and one on my phone.
now...
I look again at the tubes.
'I wonder what Atlantic and Kriptonian DNA feels like.' I think as I shove my hand through the tube.
================================================================
Guards and Captain POV:
"Where the hell did Hernandez and Jackson go?!" The captain demands at his team
"Don't know, sir; we had reagrouped after we had finished checking this floor, and they didn't appear," one of the guards tells him.
The captain growls a bit under his breath.
"All right," Captain tries to say.
"AHHHHHH!!!" A loud scream cuts off the captain.
The whole team tenses at it.
"From where did it come from?!" Captain asks hurridly to his crew
"Problary from the genetics lab cap," a guard tells him, pointing in the direction from where the scream came.
"All right, everybody, let's move out; stay sharp!" The captain orders his men, who nod back at him, then they start to make their way towards the lab.
They arrived at the door of the lab; they took cover on each side of the door.
The captain raises his hand and makes a number three with his fingers.
"On my mark!" He whispered to his men, who nodded back and prepared themselves for a possible confrontation.
3
2
1
"Go!" The captain orders
They open the doors and enter the room, guns raised, scanning the room looking for hostiles.
But what they find is a lot of broken lab tubes and signs of destruction.
And in the center
A body
A body of a man wearing similar gear as them, laying on a large pudle of liquid, face down
"Spread out, secure the room, Carlos, and James with me." The team follows The team follows the captain's orders and starts to check the large lab while the captain and his two men check on the body.
"Clear/Clear/Clear/All Clear, sir," each man said as they finished securing the room.
"All right, reagroup!" the captain orders.
They approach the lying body.
"Carlos, check him!" The captain orders
Carlos nods and approaches the body with his gun raised. He puts his hand on the neck to feel a pulse.
"I got a pulse!" He tells them, then he rolls the man on its back.
"It's Jackson!" One of the guards exclaimed at seeing his teammate.
They approach their fallen teammate.
Carlos started to shake. Jackson awake
"Wake up, man!" Carlos said to him
Jackson started to stir and open his eyes.
But something is different; instead of Jackson normal eyes, they are a bright red, and the whole eye is a bright scarlet color.
"Gotcha!" 'Jackson' says in a different voice that his one before his entire body shifts to a young man wearing a hooded jacket with two glowind red tattoos on his arms sparkling with lighting.
*Imagine the tattoos are red and the Lightning as well*
Then thrust he hands on liquid that they were standing on
The Captain on a fit of agility manage to leap out of it but his Men weren't so lucky
They were all eletrecuted, instantly starting to burn by the force of the lighting and being consumed by red and black tendrils coming out of that boy
After that the lighting dies out leaving only the boy standing unfazed on a large scorch mark on the ground
The Captain quickly loses his shock, giving it place to anger
He grabs he rifle and start to unload his magazine on that monster
He shoots at the chest and head several time, ripping parts of that monster
But it just stay there, unmoving, doesn't scream or tries to attack
Just stay there watching him while having chest, arms and skull blow apart by bullets
Clink clink
His rifle runs out of ammo
He pulls out his pistol and again start to unload the 15 rounds on that monster
Clink clink
Out of bullets on the pistol as well
The Monster only looks at him with his blown out face before he start healing
His chest that had blown open by the bullets started to heal and regrown
His head that Missing the entire left side started to heal as well and regrown
And in less then 2 seconds he look like he wasn't shot at all
"Are you done ?" That....that thing ask me with mirth on his tone
I glare at him
He smirks at me
"My Turn!" The Monster calmly tells me
He say before his arms became Claws and start to run towards me
I close my eyes
I feel a sharp pain on my chest
On this last moments
I think about my wife Maria and son Frank
Their memories giving me confort
Then just Darkness.
================================================================
Alex POV:
"Poor dude was a clone of Deathstroke; Hell, Cadmus even gave him fake memories as well; those guys are evil," I say to myself.
I then brought back lighting on my hand.
After I started to consume the experiments on the tubes of Atlantic DNA, I got some sick things.
The ability to breathe under water, enhances senses, produces bioelectricity, and knows about Atlantean magic
It appears that Cadmus was given a couple of deceased Atlateans bodies to study by Ocean Master, no doubt.
And started to try to create hybrids; it didn't work for them, but it worked for me.
The corpse that they were studying belonged to a lowly level guard of Atlantis, not very powerful, and died on fight there, but they got the abilities of a norma Atlantean and got a basic education of Atlantean magic, which is better than nothing.
Now Kripitonian DNA is a hard nut to crack; it belongs to the Big Man himself, which Cadmus couldn't properly study because of how resilient it is.
Cadmus just started mixing with human DNA to see what would happen.
It got corrupted enough to be able to channel, which resulted in Superboy
The experiment that I have consumed was a very early one.
It's a mix of a small amount of Kripitonian DNA with human DNA, using Gnomorphs DNA as a glue to keep them together.
The only thing that I managed to get from it was a small upgrade on my strength and the capacity of using sunlight to acquire energy, so I won't have to consume as much biomass to stay in my top shape.
I'm going to start clashing these DNAs together and see what happens.
And after consuming this dude, I got a very, very small dose of the Super Soldier serum DC edition. It helps everything work better, stronger, and more efficiently on the human DNA side.
Oh, I would kill for a sample of the Super Soldier serum from Marvel.
I wonder....
If I were in Marvel, I would have a hard time looking at mutants and not imaging a buffet of powers.
But now let's see if I already have enough biomass.
I perceive and feel my whole body shift, and a large conception of biomass gathers on my right arm.
"HOT DAMN!" I shouted in happyness
I shift again I try my other weapons
Claws
Whipfist
Hammersfist
Tendrils
Everything working perfectly, I can't wait to try a devastador
Wait....there one more
I close my eyes and concentretate, again I feel the familiar feeling of my body shifting and the biomess covering me
But this time is diferrent, I want It to completly cover me and then harden
Then completly covers me, I open my eyes and look down at my hands and body, I search for a piece of glass and I look at myself
"HELL YEAH!" I shamelessly admire myself.
Now, back to the matter at hand.
I have to save a one-armed teenager of a criogenic coma, a lot of innocent people being used as test subjects, and a whole race of sentient beings who are being enslaved.
'Let's get to work'
