While, Peter was in the base the crime world started moving once again. The regeneration serum had been progressing so far and soon human trials could be done.

Connor was so excited that he couldn't even leave his lab as he continued to research without going to back home.

He wanted to get his arm back, without it he felt incomplete. He didn't want to see those looks of pity and feel the emptiness.

Life with just one arm was not for him and a mechanical arm was not his thing, he wanted a real arm.

To him this project was everything and he had invested too much into it.

But it seems dark forces had their eyes on his treasure. In the middle of the night, Shocker entered the lab without any difficulty to steal the serum and the information under Kingpin's command.

Shocker also known Herman Schultz's was an orphan from a very young age and had to survive with his younger brother. From a young age Schultz turned to a life of crime however, he soon realized he wasn't particularly good at it, having been arrested several times.

After one robbery gone wrong, Herman was arrested again, but was sent to the prison workshop, where he used the resources around him to project and build gauntlets that sent out shock waves which quickly opened safes as well, giving himself a one-up on the authorities. The Shocker had the ability to shock his enemies with his hand held vibro-shock units, but because the vibrations were so fierce, he wore a heavily insulated suit. His act was successful and soon he made a name for himself that attracted crime lords to him.

Early on in his career Shocker often acted as either a thief or subordinate to more prominent mob bosses such as Silvermane.

But once Kingpin took over, he became one of his men like Silvermane. His abilities had also been improved as he had received the super soldier serum and better equipment.

He had even gotten training to improve his skills that it allowed him to compete with Captain America one on one.

His loyalty to Kingpin was unquestionable as the man had given him everything and made him the best he could be.

Before Kingpin, he had no ounce of loyalty to anyone and he just did his job. He didn't think much about things and did his job without a question unless it affected his life.

Today was an easy mission but they sent him in case Spiderman appeared and there was back up just in case.

They wanted this project so all preparations were done.

Looking around the lab, Shocker started gathering up the files as the scientist from the base communicated to him.

He was silent but Connor was too excited to sleep properly and he woke up to see Shocker moving around the room gathering things.

The data was being stolen from the paper files and digital files by this thief.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

This was his dream and he couldn't allow anyone to steal it. Looking around discreetly, Connor decided to handle the criminal and sound the alarm.

But the moment he stood up from the seat, Shocker noticed him because of his equipment that allowed him to notice any noise and heat signatures around him.

"Doctor, you should have continued to sleep. Now I will have to get violent with you, blame yourself for being too restless old man." Shocker said in condescending tone as he looked back and saw Connor.

"You won't get away with this, leave now and I will forget about it."

"Haha, I didn't know you were a comedian doctor. I would love to hear more jokes but I am operating on a time limit so go back to sleep now." Shocker chuckled as he closed the distance between them easily and hit him in the abdomen with a low level shock to knock him out.

He was told not to kill the man as he was working for the army and the security had been tight but sadly nothing really special for him since the doctor's work wasn't given that much importance.

Seeing the doctor collapse to the ground, Shocker went back to his work but Connor was still awake. His body was barely able to move because of the shock and pain.

His anger and despair kept him anchored as he watched the man pillage his life.

He couldn't allow it to happen. The finding would be cut if all the samples were stolen and no result was shown.

The data and sample were too precious, even more than his life.

Connor moved his hand and took out one of the sample from his lab coat. In his excitement he couldn't help but keep one with him.

Looking at the green liquid, Connor downed it as he didn't have the injection for the proper procedure. The affect should still take place through oral use.

He knew it was defective at the moment and only wished to gain the power up to save his project.

Shocker was about to steal the samples when he heard growls of a beast and looked back to see that the doctor had started transforming.

His skin was getting covered by scales; his body had grown taller and muscular while his missing arm was back.

"Oh, man. Not this shit." Shocker muttered as he dashed forward to finish him off before it went any further. He wasn't some fighting maniac that would wait for the transformation.

Shocker hit Connor in the abdomen with a stronger attack that sent him crashing into the wall and destroying things that came in the way but it healed very quickly.

The affect of the medicine was very strong and the change happened too quickly because of taking it through the mouth.

Connor could feel his human side get affected by an alien side, it wasn't strong enough but it was reacting to his rage.

Growling, Connor launched himself at Shocker but the man saw him coming and kicked him in the face where he had also installed the shockers.

Once again it sent the doctor flying into the lab equipment and caused him to black out for a moment while the alarm started.

"Shit, I got distracted." Shocker muttered as he quickly went towards the samples. They were considered half of his mission and couldn't be left behind.

Roar

"Not again" Shocker muttered with annoyance and saw the transformation had finished. The doctor now had a lizard head and tail.

Going on all fours the creature jumped to the ceiling and attacked from above.

Shocker could see that it was getting too dangerous for him now as he dodged the bite and the tail came at him as he had jumped to the side.

He caught the tail but the force behind it carried him.

"Get shocked" Shocker turned it up and hit him with his best shot, causing the Lizard to spasm and fall limply.

"I really hate fuckers with healing factors." Shocker kicked Connor away and quickly got back to his business. Putting away the items inside the brief cases as ordered, he walked away leaving Connor cold.

It didn't take him long to awaken and he pounced towards Shocker who was leaving but the man wasn't interested in a fight anymore.

Shocker signalled his men and they fired upon Connor, giving him the chance to slip away into the shadows.

With the anti-tank rifles tier weapons, Connor was riddled with holes and escaped back inside to avoid fire.

Even though he was becoming animalistic, it didn't mean he didn't have a survival instinct.

The helplessness of this situation only drowned him further into the cold nature of his new existence and he knew his targets for this vengeance to be extracted.
