The Coming of The Dragon Chapter 1

"Welcome Gamma, Strike, Alpha, and V to the pokeumans."

I heard that line five years ago. I'm now twenty-one years old and many things have changed.

Strike and V started dating. ZX009 has since been awoken and stabilized so he no longer suffers degredation and he was named Sol after his absol DNA. Alpha and Lillith have also started dating. Dragonia has since stopped seeing her vice headmaster and has actually calmed down considerably. As for me, well things have changed drastically. I discovered I had a genetic problem and the reason why my genes had mutated so long ago. They were still mutating. They keep adapting to everything in the world and I feel like I'm losing control of myself. Losing it to the dragon inside. I have since left the Alaskan base to protect my friends from the beast within.

I feel it deep within. It's just beneath the skin. I must confess that I feel like a monster. It comes awake and I can't control it. The coming of the dragon.

I was in a an old 90's style diner in a Dallas, Texas waiting for my order to come. Within a few minutes it arrived at my table and I ate my food in peace. Then someone came in the door and right away something felt out of place. That's about the only good thing with my genetic issue is I have animal instincts and they're pretty good at picking bad people out of the crowd. The two guys who just walked in had something under their coats. It was raining outside so it was reasonable to be wearing a coat but not to be carrying tech nines concealed underneath them.

The two men pulled out their guns and pointed them at the people in the diner. The people saw this and started screaming until one of the men fired a shot into the ceiling to keep them quiet.

"Nobody move. You try anything and you will be killed." The first man said.

"Hand over your cell phones and other forms of communication." The second one said.

I hadn't moved. I considered going for Cerberus but it would be too obvious a movement. Besides how would I explain the massive tri barreled gun in the holster on my right leg. I could always go for one of my other guns but there was the risk of everyone else getting hurt. I decided to play along for now until the opportunity arose.

The men went and raided the register and I took the moment to grab my side arm from my lower back holster. A custom made pistol that carried twenty rounds and they were all incendiary rounds. Yes I like playing with fire.

I readied my gun and waited for the two men to return. They came back from behind the register and turned towards the door. They began walking out but just when they went to grab the door handle I got their attention.

"Hey jackass."

They turned around to face me.

*BANG BANG* Two shots two kills.

They were on the ground with bullets in their head and the bags of money spilling out on the ground. I got up from the floor where we all had to sit and walked out of the diner after leaving a tip. I walked down the street and was thinking of where to stay the night when my instincts kicked in again. I sensed someone following me and I simply walked down an alley and waited.

The person came down the alley and made it in just enough so no one would see them get hurt and I shoved them into a wall and pointed Cerberus in their face.

"Who are you and why are you following me?" I asked them.

"Is that anyway to treat an old friend Gamma?" They asked back.

"Wait, Alpha?"

The person lowered their hood to reveal it was indeed Alpha.

"It's been a while Gamma."

"Yeah I guess it has."

Alpha was the only one who knew about my genetic mutations making me lose control and he made sure not to tell anyone.

"So what is it you want?" I asked.

"Well we have a problem back in Alaska."

"You know very well I don't want to go back there. I don't want to lose control and hurt someone like last time."

Yeah I lost control once and some pokeuman ended up in the hospital wing with a dislocated arm and two broken ribs.

"I know Gamma but it's serious."

"How bad could it be that you need my help?"

"Well it's hard to explain but Dragonia could explain it better than I could."

"This better be important if you want me to endanger everyone like this."

"It is just follow me."

Alpha spoke into a com device and had us transported back to the Alaska base. We were now in Dragonia's office where everyone was waiting. Lillith, Strike, V, Sol, Dragonia, and Alpha were all there.

"Welcome back Gamma." Strike said.

"Thanks." I said.

"Hello Gamma good to see you again." V said.

"You to V."

"So this is the one known as Gamma that I've heard about. Good to finally meet you." Sol said.

"You to."

"Hey Gamma how have you been?" Lillith asked.

"I've been alright I suppose."

Dragonia said nothing and simply gave me a hug.

"Good to have you back Gamma." Dragonia said.

"Yeah it's temporary but I'm back. So what's the issue?" I asked.

"Well as you know it's been five years since you managed to shut down the RX project that pokextinction started. However someone has created something much worse." Dragonia said.

"What might that be?"

"How about I just show you?"

I raised my eyebrow and Dragonia led us to the dungeons where we were shown to a dark room where once the lights came on there was a haxorus in a cage chained to the wall and she seemed insane.

"Is she alright?" I asked.

"That's just it. Someone found out about the RX project and reversed it to make what we call the Berserk RX."

"This is a result of RX?"

"Not completely. We did some blood work and she seems to have the RX gene splicing in her blood."

"Then why does she look more pokemon than human?"

"They did the process backwards to see what would happen and this is the result. Whoever did this used human DNA to splic a pokemon's DNA and the result was the berserk RX."

"So she was basically given the same treatment as me and the others but in a reverse method so as to make her go crazy?"

"Basically. There is one other thing though."

"What might that be?"

"Well we aren't completely sure but we believe you two may be related."

My brain stopped for a moment.

"Related as in brother and sister?"

"Possibly but like I said we need your DNA to make sure."

"Fine."

"Wait that's it? I don't have to beg you? I thought you guys all disliked needles."

"We do but that doesn't mean we can't deal with it when the time comes."

"Fair enough. Sol could you please?"

"Of course Dragonia."

Sol used a syringe and took some blood from my arm and put it into a DNA analyzer.

"So what are you doing exactly a comparison?"

"Precisely, we don't know how closely related you are but we can tell there's a relationship."

"Ok then."

We waited for several hours and by the time the machine which traveled at the speed of a slakoth was done comparing DNA samples it showed a result which apparently Sol could understand and it surprised him.

"Uh Dragonia I think it's worse than a brother sister thing." Sol said.

"How so?" Dragonia asked.

"There aren't enough common alleles for them to be siblings but there is enough in common for them to be something else."

"What might that be?" I asked impatiently.

"Mother and son."

The whole room became deathly quiet.

"You're telling me that this haxorus is my mother?" I asked.

"Exactly, I guess now we need to find a way to cure this new project serum."

"There's an cure for this?"

"Well we're trying to create one but there's still the issue of trying to figure one piece of the puzzle out."

"What piece do we need?"

"We have the cure mostly figured out but we need a batch of the original stuff to make a cure."

"Ok then what's the issue why don't we just get the serum and bring it here?"

"Because we still haven't found the source."

"You can find and capture a haxorus who has been made berserk and prove she's my mother but you can't find the source of the serum so we can create a cure?" I asked.

"Well we have dozens of spies searching through pokextinction's ranks so it should be only a matter of time." Dragonia said.

"It would be faster if you would let me interrogate that extinctionist." Strike said.

"You let Strike do interrogations?" I asked.

"Very rarely." Dragonia responded.

"Then why not now?"

"Because her torture techniques are just plain cruel and evil."

"That's why you're going to let her interrogate the extinctionist. If he thinks she's a devil he'll say anything. After all Zane's living proof of that."

"Well true but I don't think."

"Dragonia let her interrogate the guy. If we can find the cure for this stuff then we can stop it once again."

"Fine but you won't like this."

We walked off to an interrogation room and sat in the dark room behind the glass while Strike set up some kind of torture device. It was five giant car batteries with jumper cables running to a device to control voltage output. That device had stripped wires coming from it and she gave it a couple of test sparks by putting the tips of the wires together. Once she was satisfied she signaled for us to send in the extinctionist. He was made to sit at the table and he seemed annoyed.

"I won't talk. You can't make me." He said.

Strike flashed her usual sadistic grin.

"Oh but you will. Otherwise you get to suffer my favorite torture."

"What might that be? More mind games?"

"No something far worse and far more cruel. I call it ESCT"

"What does that mean?"

"Electro Shock Castration Torture."

The extinctionist suddenly seemed afraid. I had a feeling I was going to regret sending Strike in there.

"Now it's quite simple really. You answer my questions and I don't stick these electrified wires down there. Get it?" Strike asked.

"You don't have the stones."

Strike proved him wrong by setting the power to very, very, very low and shocked him in the same place I watched her castrate an extinctionist several years ago.

"AGH!"

Strike took the wires away.

"Get the picture. I can and I will hurt you. Just answer me and I won't increase the voltage."

"W-w-what do you want?"

"Where is the original Berserk serum located?"

"I can't tell you that. That'll get me killed."

"Suit yourself.

Strike turned the voltage up from one to two and shocked him again.

"AAGGHH!! Ok, ok I'll talk just stop!"

She stopped shicking him.

"Now where is it?"

"Your mother's house."

"That was most definitely the wrong answer.

Just for the mother comment Strike turned it up to five and shocked him again.

"AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Strike stopped shocking him.

"Care to talk yet or should I just set the dial up another notch?"

"Ok it's in our base about five miles out of Washington D.C."

"Where specifically?"

"The coordinates are 759835, 9341582."

"Good boy. Now was that so hard?"

"F**K YOU!"

She set the dial to ten and shocked him once more for kicks.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I can't believe you're dating her V." I said.

"To be honest that form of torture was actually my idea." V said.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"No I'm not. That was seriously my idea."

"How did she get permission to use that?"

"Um well I said I would let her use it if she did me a favor." Dragonia said.

"What favor would that be?" I asked.

"Use it on Dracen so he'd leave me alone." Dragonia admitted.

"I know you got bored and decided you wanted a serious relationship for once but seriously dragonia, You have some issues." I said.

"Well what would you do if you wanted your ex to quit getting back in bed with you?"

"I don't have that problem and if things go the way they have I probably never will."

"Lucky."

"Hey guys I got what I needed out of him." Strike said walking back in.

"Yeah we heard. Let's get in the transporter and go." I said.

"Sure thing Gamma." Strike said.

We walked to Dragonia's office where we took a transporter to the coordinates we got from the extinctionist. We vanished in a flash of light and reappeared outside the base's front door.

We all readied our various weapons and got ready.

"Let's go kill some extinctionists."
