Chapter 17
After the whole mysterious girl thing and everyone had healed up. Mariko decided to go around and try to figure out who was that girl and why did she attack. Mariko went to the people she knew would have some sort of idea who would know. Her first stop was Sawako's room. She walked inside and saw Sawako drinking some tea and staring at some pictures. When she saw Mariko she put her tea down and asked,
"What brings you here?"
"I came to ask some questions about the girl who attacked us a couple days ago. I was wondering if you knew who she was." Mariko said.
"Oh I don't know who she is. She didn't look like any of the patients from my old facility and if she was I never saw her. Maybe you should try asking Airin. She got around a lot."
"I will thanks Sawako."
Mariko left the room and started to walk to Airin's room. On the way there she stopped to see how Jurina was doing. She didn't walk in but looked through the window and could see Jurina curled into a ball staring at the wall. Jurina must miss her sister greatly. Mariko kept moving to Airin's room and found her drawing in her sketchbooks like usual. Mariko walked over to her and lightly tapped her shoulder. Airin flinched and turned around then when she saw Mariko she nearly screamed.
"Relax Airin it's just me."
"Ah it is... Sorry I'm just a bit jumpy is all..."
"It's alright I just wanna ask you something. Do you know who that girl was that attacked us?"
"Yes I do know... But I don't want to talk about it..." Airin said.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to!"
Airin gave Mariko a deadly glare which sent chills down her spine. Mariko quickly got out and left the room. She didn't know what that was all about but she decided not to talk about it to her. It was obvious Airin was pretty shook up about the whole situation. Mariko decided to go see Kanon and Kumi for answers. When she walked in she saw Kanon combing Kumi's hair. Mariko walked over and sat in front of Kumi. She stared at them silently until Kumi finally said,
"Hi Mariro!"
"Mariro?"
"Un!"
"Kumi it's Mariko not Mariro." Kanon said.
"Really? I thought it was Mariro!"
Mariko was about ready to facepalm herself but she remembered that she had come to look for answers. When she asked the question Kanon became silent and Kumi just stared into space. Mariko asked again and this time Kumi said,
"Oh you mean Yuria!"
As soon as Kumi said that Kanon smacked her hand across Kumi's mouth and pulled her back. Kumi bit Kanon's hand and Kanon let go.
"What the heck Kanon? Mariko just wanted to know about Yuria. I'm just helping her by telling her about Yuria!"
"Kumi shut up!" Kanon said.
"But-"
Kanon picked Kumi up and carried her out of the room.
"Bye Mariro!"
Mariko now had some better info about the girl that attacked the facility. The question is now though why did Yuria take Churi and Rena? She wasn't sure what they had to do with it but there was probably more info about it than she knew. There had to be more information somewhere but where? Mariko thought long and hard until she finally got an idea. She remembered the old facility Kumi went to and thought she should go there. Mariko got Takamina to cover her shift and then left.
When Mariko arrived at the facility she started to search the place looking for any bits of info. The place was still a complete wreck and Mariko wondered if she would find any kind of information. All the room she had already visited before so she thought that there wasn't going to be anything useful. However there were a couple she had never seen before that she never knew was there. According to a map that was still on the wall, there was a lower level that she never went to. Mariko found the entrance and couldn't see a thing down there. It took all her courage but Mariko walked down the stairs into the dark room. As she made her way down she could hear shuffling noises in the background. When she reached the bottom, she saw a light was on in one of the rooms.
Mariko looked out and saw someone going through old shelves and dressers. Mariko didn't know who the person was but knew she had to stop them if she was going to find what she wanted. Mariko took a piece of ply wood that was nearby and slowly snuck up behind the person. When she was close enough, she swung hard and nailed the person right in the head.
"Hey!"
Mariko recognized the voice. She looked down and saw Miichan staring at her with a "what the heck" look. Mariko helped her back up and brushed off any dirt on her clothes which were very stylish. Mariko never knew Miichan had such fashion although it was nothing compared to hers.
"What the heck are you doing here Miichan?" Mariko asked.
"I came here looking for something." Miichan said.
"Looking for what?"
"This."
Miichan held up what looked like a flash drive. Mariko was about to say something but then Miichan pulled out a lap top and plugged it in. A whole bunch of files popped with different documents. Mariko started to read some of them as they popped up on the screen. They looked like journal logs.

Today we received a new patient today. She was placed her for observation under a suicide watch. The patient is very interesting and personally I think she is well suited for a new project I've been working on. I know it's wrong and illegal but someone needs to test is and I know no one is going to miss her therefore I see her as the perfect candidate. The first thing I must do is get her to volunteer for the project. When I first approached her she was unresponsive. I thought I just needed to push her a little more and then I would have her. It took me three tries before I finally got her to say yes. The treatment starts tomorrow and if it works, we could be looking into the future of a whole new race of hybrid humans.
Date: January 15, 2007
It has been three months since the treatment has began and so far everything is going along well. Her body shows no rejection to the treatment and is following every instruction perfectly. I think I chose the right person when searching for the test subject. If things keep up like this then I think I will reach my goal soon. The only thing I have to make sure is that no one else sees this. If things go wrong then it could lead to a disaster. Incase things do go bad I had implanted a kill switch on her heart. All I have to do is press a button and she'll drop dead. Hopefully that won't have to happen. It's such a waste to end lives like hers. If my experiment succeeds though we will no longer have to say goodbye to our beloved ones.
Date: March 4, 2009
It's been two years since we started the treatment and I'm starting to see signs of rejection. She hasn't taken notice to it yet but the signs are starting to show in her charts. I have to make sure she doesn't see it and stop it soon. However the only way to stop it will require harsh treatments. I hope she will be able to handle it. So far her views on pain is low so I don't think this will be a major deal. I also hope that it doesn't happen again and we won't see anything like this again. I have to be careful though however because my boss has started to investigate me and if I don't do something I could be found out and all my research put to an end. I have to do something otherwise who else will lead this world to a better society.
The dates stopped there and there was one up to a couple months before they came to the facility.
Date: June 20, 2012
I have terrible news to report. Over the five years I've spent working on this project I'm afraid to report it has failed. Her body has rejected it completely and now her DNA itself has mutated into something else. Her eating habits have changed from rice to blood. She's become stronger and more agile. She can read an opponents moves before they even attack and she kills them without even blinking. She's become a monster and I have to put an end to her before something bad happens. The only question is do I really want to put her down? After all my hard work do I really want to? No maybe not... Maybe I can revert the mutations if I can just...
There were also video clips of different times and dates. Miichan clicked on the first one and Mariko was shiocked at what she saw.
Date: December 9, 2007
There in the video was Churi wearing a surgical mask and gloves. Then in the background was a girl strapped to a chair. That girl was the girl who attacked the others only she looked different. She looked normal and not like some animal crazed monster. Churi pulled out a syringe with red substance in it. When she flicked it the syringe started to glow bright like a glow stick. She walked over to the girl and stroked her hair to calm her down.
"This is going to hurt a bit." she said.
Then Churi began to inject the substance and the girl started screaming in pain. Her body shook and lashed as Churi injected more and more. Her whole body was trembling and her nails were making long claw marks in the chair. She kept screaming more and more until she finally stopped. She was out of breath and scared as well as tired. She looked over at Churi who was smiling and then patted the girl's head. After a while the girl passed out and Churi walked back over to the camera.
"Day one complete."
Miichan clicked the next clip which was set in a later date.
Date: April 16, 2009
It showed the girl in a room all by herself. She was just sitting there staring at the wall. Then suddenly Churi came in holding an apple. She threw it at the girl and without even looking the girl caught it. Churi then pulled out a knife and threw it at her but she moved out of the way and threw it right back. Churi caught it and then pulled out a gun. She shot three rounds and every round missed because the girl was so quick. She moved fast and was about to punch Churi but then Churi hit a button and the girl feel down. Her body started shaking and rolling on the ground. Churi smiled and hit another button which made her stop. She leaned down and patted the girl's head then left another apple and left.
Date: November 23, 2010
The girl was now in the same chair again only there was something different about it. Instead of leather straps there were chains and there was a head piece attached to her. The door opened and Churi came in with a dark look on her face. She held two glasses in her hand. She took one and made the girl drink it. As soon as the liquid hit the girl's mouth she spat it out right back at Churi. The liquid turned out to be milk and for some reason the girl didn't like it. Churi fed the girl the other glass and this time the girl drank it as if she had been dying of thirst. When Churi tried to take the glass away the girl growled and even bit some of the cup off. Churi pulled out a syringe with a blue substance this time. She injected it and when she did, the girl didn't move. Then suddenly the girl started to cough up blood and scream. Eventually at one point she broke the chains and was ready to attack Churi. However Churi hit that same button and the girl fell down again.
Date: June 26, 2012
It was Churi on the screen and she didn't look to happy. There were scratches all over her face and she was bleeding. Mariko watched as suddenly something jumped at Churi and knocked her to the ground. The two started fighting but it looked like she wan't winning. Churi pressed a button but the girl didn't even flinch. Instead she reached for her neck and pulled off a collar. Then she placed it on Churi and when Churi hit the button Churi started shaking and rolling. The girl laughed and then broke out of the room upstairs. Screams could be heard followed by loud crashes but Churi was still down completely knocked out.
That was all the videos and Mariko was completely speechless. The only thing that came to her mind was that girl. Mariko sat back down and Miichan put away her laptop. She then looked at Mariko and started to talk.
"Churi was performing illegal experiments on that girl. That girl is Yuria. The experiment was to see if she could create a whole new kind of human being. One that was stronger and smarter. One that could fight and most of all, never die. However it looks like the experiment failed and she created a monster. Now we have to stop her before something bad happens. Mariko we have to find Churi she's the only one who can help."
"I don't know where Churi is." Mariko said.
"I think I may have an idea."
Miichan took Mariko to an old house far outside the city limits. They walked in and found Churi in a work room typing away on a computer. She was badly injured but didn't seem to care. She didn't even notice Miichan walk over to her and pull out a gun. She aimed it right at Churi and said,
"You're going to talk now."
Churi froze and looked over. She took a breath and calmly said,
"What would you like to know?"
"Why were you performing illegal experiments? What was your purpose?" Miichan asked.
"I was only trying to make a better future for the human race. Although my idea seemed insane, it was all for a greater good and I needed a human to test on it. Because of my job I had access to plenty of subjects but they all failed. Yuria however actually succeeded and I thought I was going to get somewhere with her. However she failed and now I have to end it."
"How do you plan on doing that?"
"Simple. I have to press the kill switch."
"And where is that?"
"I kept it hidden somewhere safe. It's going to take me time to get it though."
"How soon?"
"Two days."
As the two were talking Mariko's anger started to boil inside her. She thought Churi was as sick as Yuria for doing such horrible things to her. She wanted to just straight up punch Churi right in the face. However she had to keep her cool. She waited for the right moment and then said,
"Why did Yuria take Rena?"
"Ah.. I have and idea why but I don't think you'll like it." Churi said.
"What is it?"
"She thinks like an animal but more specifically an alpha. The alpha needs to reproduce therefore she searches for a suitable beta and in this case it's Rena. Probably because of that Geki side of hers. The alpha's want a strong beta because it insure's strong offspring."
"So you're saying that..."
"Yes.... Yuria is going to reproduce with Rena."
