*Pop* Was the only thing Ike heard as he ran through the think snow.

The Sato were right on him, there was nothing else for Ike to do but run.

Ike turned a corner instantly spotting one of the Sato, he stopped, slowed his breathing and started to creep behind it reaching his hands out from behind the oblivious monster.

Once he was close enough he rapped one arm around it his mind went blank, he hand no care for what he was about to do to this...this thing. Ike grabbed his arm pulling tightly. The Sato tried to fight back but it had no chance. Ike tightening his grip on its neck spoke to the monster, a single word..."Rebirth", its moving slowed then the monster fell to its knees and fragmented into nothing.

Ike, still in his blank state stood there until a single word crossed his mind...disgust.

Soon after he heard the footsteps of the batch of Sato that were following him. He ran, he didn't know what else to do except run. Ike had no weapons nothing to protect himself so what else? Ike kept running through the snow, there was only one place for him to go the one place he felt safe in. He could see it, only a few steps until he was home free. He was so caught up in the joy that he was safe that he didn't pay attention to anything around him, but this all stopped when something, something with such force hit him straight in the head. Ike fell to the ground slowly...blacking out as he saw feet step in front of him, he knew he was done for and for a moment Ike felt frustrated that he was so care free but that feeling was quickly erased as he blacked out in the cold snow.

"ah my head" Ike said as he opened his eyes trying to move but was dismissed as he had chains rapped around his arms, legs, and neck. A Sato showed up opening the room Ike was in, when it walked in Ike felt a sense of danger a sense he couldn't ignore. Just then the Sato started to speak it surprised Ike since these things are freaks you wouldn't think they would be capable of any human like trait. Just then his thoughts were cut off by the strained voice of the Sato "What you are in right now is our experimenting room, we will conduct a series of tests on you. if you die you will be thrown out with the rest." it said, it started coughing after finishing its sentence when it stopped it said something again "I am the leader of my race, my name General Xal." He said as he started walking over to a wall pressing his finger down on it, the room lit up.

Ike scanned the room, there were tables all around him. One had glasses filled with liquids, others had scalpels. Ike started to sweat he used all his strength to get out of those god damn chains, just then the General left the room the door closing behind him, one of the monsters came up to him with a syringe filled with a colorless liquid it stuck the syringe inside him pushing the liquid in Ike, then he blacked out.

He woke up on a bed his head dizzy, looking down he could clearly make out that he was strapped down with a tube inside his left arm. He looked over seeing that one of them was taking the tube out of his arm, he got ready to yell out in pain but to his surprise he felt something else, something different. Ike looked back at his arm and saw nothing the wound had completely healed in a matter of seconds. The Sato unstrapped him from the bed as he stood up a voice popped into his head

"What is this? is it telling me my stats?" just then the network sounded again.

[ New objective ]

[ Follow the checkpoint ]

A point appeared in front of Ike so he did what the network told him to do and he followed it.

The checkpoint kept disappearing and reappearing somewhere farther away than the last time. Ike was getting frustrated he felt like it was just playing games with him.

Eventually the checkpoint reappeared near a door that had something carved into it, when Ike got closer the door read "4808" he said in a whisper like tone "Why is there a number on this door? and why would this network lead me hear?" Ike saw a panel beside the door that had a single fingerprint on it "It's just like the panel that Xal guy used" Ike said while holding up his finger and pressing down on the panel then.

The door started to slowly slide open revealing a room with a bed, desk, fridge, and two other doors, one reading "closet" the other reading "bathroom". Ike walked into the room heading to the door with closet carved into it, it had the same panel that the entrance to the room had. He pressed down on the panel and the door slid open, inside was 3 different outfits the first outfit had a white shirt, dark grey jacket with the sleeves rolled up and the number 4808 on the back, and dark grey pants, the next outfit was a double sleeved blue hoodie reading the numbers 4808 on both sleeves, and black pants, the last outfit was a black hoodie with the numbers 4808 on the front pocket and black pants.
