Somewhere in the south China Sea, a boy no older than three was being taken away by people in green military wear and a Helicopter hovers over the child who was in a coffin holding a Katana. After the child was in the hands of the soldiers, they got on the string ladder and the rest of the people pulled the ladder up. "Sir, we've retrieved the asset!" the man said in Mandarin Chinese as he finally got into the Helicopter. The Pilot didn't say anything and gave a thumbs up.
They flew back to their HQ and the man with was in charge of the baby looks down at him. His cute face and tiny hands held the soldiers arm. The Soldier smiled, his helmet hid his eyes but he showed loved for the child. His teammates called out to him "Hey, Lin Hong, why do you think the boss is gonna do when we get this kid to the lab?" His brows narrowed. Experimenting on a baby never sits right with him. More importantly, he eyes the Katana "Instead of the baby, what about the sword? That kid was clutching on for dear life." They looked at the sword and Lin's teammate shrugs.
"I don't know, maybe we could sell it at a antique store?" His teammate suggested.
But it was not Lin who answered but the Pilot.
"You two will need to take that sword to the lab. The people over there will examine it" the pilot explained to both his teammates. Looking out the window, Lin watched as the coffin he took the baby and the sword out of disappeared into the horizon. Little did they know, the coffin cracked and turns to dust, disappearing in the wind, following the them to their destination.
5 hours later. Location: Unknown
The Helicopter landed on a unknown location. Far away from civilization and away from the eyes of the government. Once they landed, Lin and his teammate, Xin, got off and made their way into a abandon building. "I'll wait here. Let me know when you're done with the meeting" Their pilot called out over the comms. They nodded. When got into the building Xin was starting to get uncomfortable and Lin didn't miss that. "You scared of the dark or something?" He said with a slight form of mockery.
"Yeah very funny." Xin replies with a bit of annoyance.
He then points at the sword "Was this sword that heavy when we got it in the first place?" Lin raised an eyebrow as he opens a rusty switch and started pushing in the numbers. A small screen shows the red numbers he had pushed, 5,0,0,1,4,9. It then beep correct in bright green colors and a door opens up and from the inside, revealing a elevator. Once inside, Lin finally answers his teammates question "What do you mean by that? And by the way, that's a Katana, it's suppose to be light. Not to mention it's really sharp" Lin explains with knowledge he obtained from the internet.
Xin decides to place the Katana near the railings. Lin pressed the button with the number "5" and it took them to the lower levels. There were some time before they got to level 5, Lin looks up and sees a camera watching them.
"What so dangerous about a harmless baby anyway?" Lin thought to himself.
Finally after what left like hours, the door opens up to reveal a man in a lab coat while wearing sunglasses in his thirties with a malicious smile, wearing a gold chain necklace and his chestnut hair slicked back. He greets them with a not so friendly greeting "What's sup bitches! Liking your green colored vomit you have wrapped around your body!" the man said in pure laughter.
Lin and Xin first thought when they met this man was "Kihara Akuma, a Japanese man who who takes things too far and has a knack for science. Truly a despicable man"
Lin and Xin eyed each other before having a mental conversation. Lin starts first.
"Tell me again why are we protecting this piece of garbage?"
"Do you think I want to be here too? I would've put a bullet between his balls by now"
"Why you have to be so cruel? And shouldn't it be his eyes?"
"What would you have done to him? Shoot one of his testicles?"
"Talking about the left nut or right nut?"
"I'm talking about both nuts, you dumbass!" Xin almost yelled out while Kihara was busy complementing about himself.
"But which one does he need most?"
Xin almost physically facepalm to that. "BOTH NUTS ARE NEEDED, ARE YOU STUPID!?"
"Hmmm, this is a difficult situation"
"Just say how you're gonna kill the guy"
"I'm going to tickle him"
Lin smiles but Xin just gave him a blank stare. "How am I still friends with you after all these years?" Lin replies with a wink. "So? How may I be of help to you gentlemen?" Kihara brings them back to their senses when he clapped his hands together. Looking at the man with his malicious smile, Lin had one question. "You can speak our language? Must be a busy man coming all the way from Japan" Lin questioned and asked him at the same time.
Kihara turns around and signals them with his hand to follow them. They followed him through the dark hallway but then Kihara snaps his fingers and lights came on. All around them, they can see multiple giant cylinders glowing in blue and with humans inside. Any normal person would be disgusted or feel uncomfortable but Lin and Xin were experienced in this type of gruesome field of work.
Kihara stops before a door and twirls around and gave them his signature smile. "So before you two motherfuckers go in, you two know the standard fuck up protocol ey?" He told them as a warning than as a reminder. Lin and Xin nodded and Kihara laughs in satisfaction. "Come on in, you loyal dogs. Welcome to my paradise!" He spreads out his hands as he over-exaggerates himself.
Lin looks at the child in his arms. He knew what he was doing will forever hunt him for the rest of his life but he was given an order "And Orders are Orders" He thought. Xin looks at his friend and sighed. He took a step forward "Professor, we have acquired the asset that you asked us for" He reminded Kihara.
Kihara smiles and claps his hands "Oh what a wonderful day it is to fuck shit up!...Then again..." He eyes the baby in Lin's arms and his malicious smiles was revealed in full. "That child...I sense something from him" Kihara said as he creepily made his way towards the child. And just as his fingers was about to touch the child but Lin stops him by grabbing his wrist before he could continue any further. "Sir, please continue guiding us to the lab." He said sternly with a stoic expression. Seeing his arm being grabbed by someone lower than him, Kihara grabs his hand and casually twist it off.
"Listen here you little piece of shit that came out of that governments fucking pile of unholy fuckery." Kihara said to Lin with venom and satisfaction in his voice from watching Lin falling to his knees as he overpowers him. "You are here because I said so...and to grab my hand like that, it would cause some really major fuck up. Do you understand?" He explains to Lin but he didn't wait for his answer and continued "Good. Now please, move before I have to remove not one but two fucking green shit stains off my floor" Smiling as he told him, he twirls and made his way to the lab.
Still on his knees, Xin went to his side and instead of helping him, he asked him a question "Do you wanna kill him?" Lin nods and Xin stated a fact which almost pissed him off "Too bad, higher ups, needs him alive" That stating was enough to get Lin on his feet and made his way to the lab where Kihara was.
He was already setting things up and when the two soldiers approached the sliding glass door, a powerful scream echoed through the long hallway with many door and it even went dark in some areas. Distracted, Kihara called out to them "What the fuck are you two waiting for? An invitation? Fuck that get your asses in here!" They both came in without so much of a complain and Kihara motioned them to bring the child and the sword in which obediently listened.
Right after that the baby started crying which annoyed Kihara "FUCK! Didn't know this cried like a little bitch! Bring me that syringe right the fuck now!" He angryly yelled. Lin instantly took back the child and he instantly calmed down. Seeing this happen, Kihara had an idea "Hey, I didn't catch your name" He asked Lin for his name. "My Name is Lin Hong" He said as he comfort the baby.
"You're in charge of the baby and you're staying here" He stated. But Lin was going to decline Kihara showed him that his higher ups approved of the idea. Lin and Xin instantly knew they were bugged from the beginning but Kihara knew what they were thinking. "Don't worry, the dipshits back in merry wonderland has excess to my cameras. You're not bugged." He finishes off by throwing Lin a Lab Coat.
"Congratulations Mr Lin, you're in charge of taking care of the baby" He walks out the door but before that he remembers something. "Oh and...you, Mr Lin's fuck boy. Get the fuck out of here" He left, leaving them alone and shit just got weird for them.
And in the next fifteen years, Lin finally enjoyed the time with his new son. He played with him, laughed with him, cried with him taught him his first words and his first alphabets when he was six, watched with him his first movie at ten, had him listen to his first music when he was eleven, all while teaching him how to fight and defend himself when he first started to walk. And now at age fourteen, he was going to his next test.
Kihara was there and when he saw his test subject he smiled a malicious grin. "Subject 74, are you ready for your next examination?" The boy, Subject 74 was his name. The boy now grown up, has blackish grey hair, fit like an adult instead of a boy, eyes were sharp and were sky blue.
"Professor, where's Mr Lin" He asked and Kihara replied to him as he guides him to his next examination room. "Mr Lin, he is...waiting for you on the other side of that door." The boy instantly knew that this was not his usual routine when he was taken for examination and what's worse, throughout the years of Lin always helping him in fighting, he knew something was wrong.
When the door opened up, Lin was standing in the center of the room with his back facing him. "Mr Lin is standing over there. Now, this is your last Examination...Kill him!" Kihara shoved him into the room. He turns around but the door slammed in his face and Kihara's laughter echoed in the speakers. "Come on boy! Kill him! We don't have much time before I push the button for the toxic gas to kill both of you! HAHAHAAHAHAHAAH SUCH RESEARCH COMES WITH SUCH SATIFACTION!" He laughs and mocks them behind the speaker. Then he remembered one more thing "Oh and here you go" A buzzing sound rang in the room they were in and a Katana fell to the ground between them.
Looking at the weapon, Lin runs up, takes the weapon and whacks him across the face. He flew across the room and was dizzy. "I thought I told you to always keep your guard up, boy! Did I thought you nothing!" He grabs him by the hair as he starts to cry out. Annoyed by this he slams his head into the ground and he kept slamming it until blood covered his entire face.
"Mr....Lin....w...hy?" His tears flowed down his cheek and he was weak from the beating. Mainly because the man that he considered a father but was told to never see him or call him that by the man himself.
"Why? Because you're nothing but a failure. Those countless experiments they performed on you and not once you screamed from it or shed a tear" He grabs him by the throat and lifts him up and called him "You're a monster" He stated to him. His tears continues to flow and there was a small hesitation when he lifted his free hand and delivered the final blow to him. There was one though that crossed his mind.
"Please dodge this!"
But when it was too late, Lin's eyes widens and they heard a painful bone crack and snapped. Lin let out a shaky breath and looked down on the now lifeless body of Subject 74. Then Kihara's voice came out through the speakers "Ohh what a pathetic end for him...but at least it was a proper end for a useless shit of a failure like him, BUWAHAHAHAH!" He said through the speakers.
Lin fell to his knees. Now finally, he starts shedding tears for him. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry. Please no! Wake up! PLEASE WAKE UP!" He cried out to his son. Hearing this Kihara laughed "Forget it Mr Lin. Project Tri-Sakura 74 has failed. Time to abandon this project. Oh and Mr Lin, thank you for your cooperation for the pass fourteen years. Your usefulness has come to an end." He said then pressed the button for the toxic gas. "Now you can die together with your child. Now I have to go back to Japan, at least over there they have better test subjects." Kihara said as he left for Japan.
Lin continues to apologize to him, not caring whether he died or not. Then, through the vents a greyish smoke glided to the dead child and from there in his mind he opened his eyes. He looked around and wondered where he was. In this dream, a field of flowers can be seen and on a hill, one Cherry blossom tree can be seen and under it a woman was playing on a Japanese guitar called a Koto. Her slender fingers pulled on the strings like a graceful goddess.
The boy stood in the field of flowers stun and the beautiful lady stops and saw him. He greeted him with a smile and he blushed and awkwardly waved at her. She then said something that almost gave him a headache "Wake up, Fujin" he was then forced back and he woke up gasping and breathing heavily. He looks around and saw Mr Lin lying on the floor. Worried he sits him up.
"Mr Lin! Mr Lin! No no no no! No! Please NO! Mr Lin, WAKE UP!" He was crying and didn't know what to do. Then he heard coughing and Lin weakly opens his eyes and saw him. The boy happily smiles. "Mr Lin! Don't worry I'll get us out of here." He lifts him up and puts him where the gas hasn't reached them. He placed him near the door and then he starts pushing. Lin looks down on the weapon he was holding and he looks at him.
Smiling a bit, he was happy. Then he began coughing out blood. "Mr Lin! No don't give up on me! Please don't die!" He yelled with tears in his eyes. But Lin just hugged him and whispered in his ear.
"You...were...nev...er.....a...fail..lure.....in....my.....eyes....son. Now.....be free, Testu." Lin said to him as he continues to hug his son while smiling. The boy's widens as he felt his father's arms loosen around him and fell to the ground. He hugged his father back and there where lights moving behind the door but he didn't care.
"I won't let you down, father."
There were noises behind him and he continues to hug his father. He saw the sword that was used to beat him, now he held it in his hands, the wind blew around him giving him a cleansing feeling. He closed his tearful eyes and prayed to the Gods to take him to Heaven. The door behind him was then broken down and they saw him.
"Hey, who is that?"
"Who cares, the Professor told us to destroy everything in this place. People included, if they are slow"
"Move it, I'll the kid. I'll make sure he doesn't suffer"
They agreed and one of them aimed for him. He pulled the trigger. The bullet comes so close to the back of his head but stops and was sliced to pieces. It fell to the ground in tiny bits and Testu carried Lin on his back. They all took aim but he was through the door and leaving. They tried to turn but just as they did, their entire body fell apart. They didn't even get the scream as Testu closed the door behind him. He took out a phone he took off from one of the deadmans body and search for a song.
"Oh, this song should be good"
He hit the play button and instantly multiple people in black military wear came in. Testu was busy with the song loading and placing Lin behind a wall.
"PUT YOUR HANDS UP ASSHOLE!"
Testu signals them to wait. It annoyed them and they pulled the trigger just as his song started. John Mayer-New Light Perfect. He smiles happily and turns to the bullets that were inches to his face. They were instantly sliced apart. He twirled his sword between his fingers and started to dance to the rhythm. Cocking his head and spinning around. Taking short steps and did some weird moves. Then finally the song begins to sing.
"I'm the boy in your other phone, WOO!"
They began open fire when he once again turned around and he moon walked back. The bullets were once again sliced to tiny pieces and he continue singing and advance on them.
"OPEN FIRE" One of them yelled and Testsu just ignore it and continue dancing.
"We talk and then you walk away" As if replying how the song was sang, he dodged one of the bullets as it sped away. "Everyday" He then brought his hands close together and started shaking. He dahsed and kicked one of the Soilders and they flew out the window.
"MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT TO DOUBT ME BUT!"
He grabbed one of them by the neck and threw him to his comrades, causing them to go through a wall and swag walks back to get his father. "Yeah if you give me just one night" he picks up his father and continues down the hallway. He knew this place by heart so he was going to the exit.
When he opened the door, he saw multiple soldiers and he took cover. Once again puts down his father and wait for the bullet to stop screaming. Once it was quiet, he rushed out the door and killed the man right at the back. "I wanna know the real thing about you" he literally rip open the guy as his blood splattered around him.
He jumps behind a wall and he pulls the pin to the grenade he stole from the guy he killed and threw it behind him.
"Take a ride up to Malibu!"
He swag walks to his father and puts him over his shoulder. He still have to get to the elevator. Around the corner, he saw two guards and he took two knives and threw it at the guards and accurately hitting their necks. "OHHHHH I WANT A TAKE TWO!" He carried his father to the elevator and sang "I wanna break through!" Then he punched the number to the surface.
He then enjoys the music as he continues up the surface. When he finally reached the top, a ping sound can be heard and he made his way out with his father. He heard the sound of the helicopters wings and he peaked his head out to see only one. There were only seven soldiers and this time he decided to go in all chaos.
He took one of the dead Soliders pistol that slipped into the elevator and headshot all of them with quick draw. First he checked their location, the angle, the timing and finally the amount of bullets in the pistol. Luckily, there were seven bullets in the pistol. He calmed his breathing then all of them hit their mark.
He dropped the pistol and took his father to a hill and starts digging a grave got him. It took him a good five minutes to dig a hole deep enough for him and he placed him inside. Once he was done putting back all the mud, he took one of the rocks and placed it on top of each other.
He prayed once again for his father's passing. He looked back at the place that he grew up in and let out a heavy sigh.
"What should I do now?" He thought out loud. Then he remembers when his father told him about a place where they help kids get their education. He smiled at his father's grave and got up.
"Time for school"
And that's where the first chapter ends.
