<<<In the Beginning…>>>

Ben: The prototype is sustaining itself.

Edward: It still needs more time.

Krystal: We could rapid-age it to make it develop faster.

Alexis: It will need to be monitored closely to make certain that it doesn't age too much.

Krystal: Obviously…

Edward: *typing on the computer attached to capsule* It's almost time to implant the DNA.

Ben: *holds up a device with 4 canisters on it* DNA is ready.

Edward: *takes the device and implants the DNA*

Alexis: *watching the monitors* The prototype is stable.

Krystal: Even with rapid aging, it will still take a few days to fully develop.

Alexis: *looks inside and sees a baby hooked to life-support systems and floating in a greenish liquid; his eyes closed and his silver hair waving* Our fate is in your hands.

<<<Suddenly, a woman in jungle camo standing at about 5'08” with brown hair pulled back in a ponytail walks in.>>>

Sarah: Is the prototype ready?

Ben: No, we still need more time.

Sarah: We need him online and on duty ASAP!

Ben: The developed technology for this process can't create a decent warrior any faster. If it did he would be unstable!

Sarah: Damn it all!

Edward: Just be patient, there's nothing we can do to make it go faster but the wait will be well worth it.

Sarah: I hope so. It's becoming very difficult to hold off Sigma's attacks. We need more support.

Krystal: Well, if the prototype is successful, you will have an entire army at your disposal.

Sarah: What do you mean?

Krystal: There are 7 more just like it only with different powers and abilities. If the prototype is successful, then we will activate them as well.

Sarah: Why don't you just do it now?

Alexis: Because the activation of the prototype will tell us if we need to make adjustments first.

Sarah: Send me a HoloMessage when he is activated.

Krystal: Okay. Hey before you go, isn't your 18th birthday soon?

Sarah: Yes, it's the day after tomorrow.

Krystal: Well Happy Birthday, even though it's not here yet…

Sarah: Thanks, later! *leaves*

Edward: You guys should get some rest. I'll stay up and monitor the prototype.

Other scientists: Okay. *exit through a door leading to the sleeping quarters*

<<<The next day…>>>

Alexis: You should get some rest now, Edward.

Edward: Yeah, goodnight. *goes to the sleeping quarters*

Krystal: Lack of sleep can start to get to you…

<<<A teenage girl with long, dark brown hair standing about 5'04” wearing baggy black pants and a white tank top walks in carrying a DataDisk.>>>

Krystal: Ah Jess, you're here.

Jess: Yes. Here's the DataDisk you wanted. *hands the DataDisk to Krystal*

Krystal: Thanks. *puts the disk in a computer and starts analyzing the data*

Jess: What did you need that for?

Krystal: We need to see what Psywolf will be up against.

Jess: Could I…talk to Psywolf for a moment?

Ben: I suppose it's not out of the question. His brainwaves are stable and he's aged to the form of a 9-year-old, so he is capable of speech. Alexis, open the capsule.

Alexis: Yes, sir. *pushes some buttons on the capsule*

<<<The fluid drains, life support detaches from Psywolf's body, and the capsule opens.>>>

Psywolf: *opens his eyes and steps out of the capsule with his arms crossed* Clothe me.

Alexis: *hands him a pair of black sweatpants*

Psywolf: Thank you. *puts them on* Now, why have I been prematurely activated?

Jess: I wanted to have a chance to meet you before I go on my mission to the past.

Krystal: So you're leaving then?

Psywolf: Don't interrupt! Continue, Jess.

Jess: You already know my name?

Psywolf: Yes. All of my abilities and memories are already developed. The only things left to adjust are my age and power level.

<<<Suddenly, an explosion rocks the laboratory.>>>

Jess: What the hell?!

Krystal: It came from outside. The Hunter's Guild has engaged Sigma's forces outside the lab!

Jess: I'm gonna go help them! *powers up and takes flight* Later! *flies out the main hatch*

Psywolf: I'm gonna help, too. I need to test my powers anyway! *powers up and flies out the main hatch after her*

<<<Outside it is midday. A massive thunderstorm rages as several warriors battle an army of robots on the field.>>>

Jess: Psywolf catch! *throws him a DataDisk* It'll update your ally profile data!

Psywolf: *catches it* Got it! *skin on left arm “melts” away revealing a metallic panel with buttons and a disk slot; inserts the disk and pushes a button* Data uploaded!

Sarah: Jess, glad you could make it! Who's the kid?

Jess: It's Psywolf.

Sarah: What, the prototype?!

Jess: Long story, I'll explain later. Look behind you!

Sarah: *turns around and sees a robot warrior running toward her* Kytis Ning Gile! *fires a bolt of lightning from her right hand, blowing the robot to pieces*

Xenon:*runs over* Hey who's the kid? He's tearing apart robots left and right!

Sarah: What? *looks at the battlefield* I never would have imagined. The prototype is stronger than I expected, even in his kid form. I vastly underestimated him!

Xenon: That's Psywolf?!

Jess: Hey quit standing around! He needs our help. There is way too many of them for him to beat them on his own!

Xenon, Jess, Sarah: *run back to the battlefield and start smashing up robots*

Psywolf:*tears a robot in half, vertically* They seems to be no end to them…

Gyron: *slices the head off of another robot* Get us out of here Sarah; we're fighting a losing battle!

Sarah: Eak Wopmort! *teleports everyone out of the area*

Psywolf: What the hell, where are we?!

Sarah: I teleported us to the Hunter's Guild HQ. We were forced to retreat.

Psywolf: No! Send me back. I have to protect the lab, my brothers and sisters are still in there and I can't be completed without that capsule!

Xenon: Sigma would have eventually overrun the lab even if we had all sat it out `till the very end.

Psywolf: Dammit! *collapses onto his hands and knees; tears running down his face*

Jess: *helps Psywolf to his feet* Hey cheer up, we simply need to heal up, re-equip, and go back and rescue the lab! *starts to carry Psywolf to another room*

Psywolf: If only I were complete…

Jess: We have a capsule here at HQ.

Psywolf: What?! Take me to it!

<<<Jess and the others take Psywolf to the capsule room.>>>

Psywolf: *steps into the capsule* See you after my completion.

Sarah: Bye. *pushes some buttons on the capsule*

Jess: Bye Psywolf, you might not see me again for a while.

Psywolf: *waves goodbye to Jess*

<<<The capsule closes, life support systems attach to Psywolf, and the capsule fills with fluid.>>>

Psywolf: *deactivates*

Jess: I'm leaving now.

Sarah: Okay, I will escort you to the time portal.

Sarah & Jess: *walk to the next room over*

<<<The room is small and dusty with a control panel and a large metal ring (about 10 ft. in diameter.)>>>

Sarah: *walks over to the panel and pushes a few buttons causing a portal to appear in the middle of the ring* Bye Jess.

Jess: Goodbye Sarah, wish me luck.

Sarah: Good luck!

Jess: *steps into the portal and disappears*

Xenon: *on the intercom system* Sarah, come quick we have an emergency!

Sarah: *runs to the Command Room* What is it?

Xenon: We've lost contact with Jess, she didn't arrive at her destination in time. She kept going further back in time until we lost contact with her.

Sarah: Damn, the Time Portal must have malfunctioned! I should have check everything first.

Gyron: *walks in* Hey, what's goin' on?

Xenon: Jess tried to go to the past, but the sensors have lost contact with her.

Gyron: Why?

Xenon: The Time Portal malfunctioned and she was sent too far into the past carrying her out of communication range.

Sarah: I'm going after her. It's my fault and my responsibility as commander to ensure everyone's safety!

Xenon: You can't.

Sarah: Why not?!

Xenon: With the portal being unstable, no human could control their arrival point in time. However, I think Psywolf might be able to pull it off since he's a cyborg.

Sarah: Hmmm… I hope Jess can survive until he's complete. The Time Portal is now aligned parallel between this time and whatever time Jess was sent to.

<<<Meanwhile, at the lab…>>>

Sigma: Where is the prototype? We found your secret documents which tell me that we have only captured 7 of the 8 cyborg warriors that you built.

Krystal: I'll never tell you where he is!

Sigma: That's too bad; I wouldn't want one of your colleagues to meet a nasty end.

Krystal: You wouldn't dare.

Sigma: *snaps his fingers*

Alexis: *screams*

Krystal: What the…?! Alexis, NO!!!

Alpha: *walks over holding up Alexis by her arms*

Alexis: Don't worry about me; just don't let him know where Psywolf is! His completion is our top priority!

Alpha: Too bad, wrong answer… *reveals his tail which has an extremely sharp tip and impales Alexis in the stomach with it*

Krystal: NOOO!!! *runs over to Alexis*

Alexis: *drops to the floor; blood streaming out of the wound into a large pool on the ground* I guess…this is…it…*breathing difficultly; occasionally coughing up blood*

Krystal: *gets onto her knees and hold's Alexis's hand; tears running down her face*

Alexis: Goodbye…Krystal…make sure…they don't find…Psywolf… *closes her eyes and takes a final breath before dying*

Krystal: Goodbye Alexis.

Sigma: That was about as bad as a soap opera; now, are you ready to tell me where Psywolf is?

Krystal: Never! I will fulfill Alexis's final request!

Sigma: Fine then! Alpha, Beta…kill the other two. Delta, grab Krystal; we might have a use for her later. Gamma, Zeta tell the others to grab the capsules for the cyborgs; and everyone meet back at the base!

<<<The next day, at Hunter's Guild HQ.>>>

Sarah: *over the intercom* All Hunters report to the Command Room immediately.

All Hunters except Psywolf: *enter Command Room*

Sarah: Okay everyone's accounted for. You know the situation and the plan, the only thing left to do is to reactivate Psywolf.

Psywolf: That won't be necessary. *walks in, now about 17 years old, standing about 6'03”, long silver hair pulled back in a ponytail, and wearing black karate gi*

Sarah: How the hell did you get out of the capsule?!

Psywolf: Telekinesis.

Sarah: Jess went to the past…

Psywolf: …and the portal malfunctioned, sent her back too far, and you want me to go after her.

Sarah: Mind reader?

Psywolf: To an extent. *walks with Sarah to the room that contains the Time Portal*

Sarah: This will be a dangerous mission, even for you. Are you sure that you want to go?

Psywolf: Yes, she unintentionally saved my life. I intend to repay the favor.

Sarah: Okay. *pushes a few buttons causing the portal to reappear* I don't know exactly where or when you will end up, I simply set the coordinates for the last known destination. Psywolf, please be careful! *hugs Psywolf*

Psywolf: I will come back alive with Jess. *hugs Sarah back before stepping into the portal*

<<<Psywolf is hurled through a psychedelic wormhole into an unknown time and space. Where and when he will end up, remains to be seen. To Be Continued… Fin!>>>
