Life can suck sometimes, for some it is: live, return, repeat.
For me? Not so much, just a meltdown that scarred my life for eternity, why you would ask, because of that same breakdown, it took the life of my uncle, with my own hands..... i still feel his blood running in my hands.... his voice asking me why i am your uncle as his voice lower and his body get’s colder.... not a good memory.... then jail, 2 years, just sitting it out, as the memory rolls again and again never to forget.... then to the crazy people’s prison for 2 more years..... meds....memory....and wariness to not fall on the sharp end of a pointy end by a crazy one.....then freedom.... that didn’t lat long as a lost bullet hit’s my head, right at home..... luckyyy........not.just hope the place I'm going have space for another one, wherever it is......now what? Reincarnation? No thank you I'll pass..................

*Disturbance detected, Waking Host*......Explosions, sound far but i can ear it clearly trough this viscous liquid, what’s happening?
I flinch as i hear another explosion, sounds near, i try to get the feel of my pairs of ears and try to move then around to see if i can hear better, and it’s control comes naturally to me, as my ears focus upward i finally can hear more clearly the noises, gunfire, a lot of gunfire, and nightmarish screechs of something unknown to me, skiterings that makes my skin crawl and my body shiver as i hear the sound of a cannon, piercingly loud to me, then the sound of mechanisms moving, making a cla-clak sound of reloading, shout’s and warcries of flying steel drowning the nightmarish screechs to silence, what in god’s name is happening? A war?, *Nanite Storage: 23%*, okay, keep cool, don’t let the stress get to you Alex Silver, breath, breath and stay calm........
“...........................”
“......................................”
“........”
....Not understanding...... that’s not english nor brazilian or even japanese, what the heck?
“.....................................................”
“....................................”
“.........................................................................”
I keep my ears in their direction, it seen they are getting really close, by the sound it’s 3 males and 2 females, as i hear the heavy thump of two more persons.... it’s extremely close..........
“.................?”
“.............................”
“.....................”
I hear knocking on top of the place I'm in, they seen to be examining the area?.........
“................”
“................................”
“......................!!”
Huh?, i hear loud knocks on the vat chamber I'm in, they seen to have noticed that there’s something where i am.........
“..............?”
“..................................”
“...”
“...........”
“...”
Okay.... what are they planning?.......... i hear metallic sounds coming from above me and hear clicks, i think they are prying open this vat?.....
I feel the pull of gravity moving me downward as the vat is pulled up, i hear a chorus of clicks and the pull of gravity is gone, i hear gasps and chatter as i feel the attention of all five on me as they chatter back and forth hurriedly, i try to open my eyes and manage to do so, but my vision is blurry at best as i try to cranck my neck to watch the location I'm in for the first time.....
A metallic room, illuminated by the light’s of the five....Furries? Beastmen? Demi-humans? No, not demi humans, that’s for sure, i look right to see pulled up vat’s, some broken, others shattered, and one intact, with the blurry of a.... is that an Avali? Not moving? Dead? *No life signals detected from Subject 95, status: Expired, Motive: Low sync leading to premature death due to faster Nanite consumption*, ok now I'm worried......
I watch as the blurry figures of the Furries work trough the area i am in, scanning my body and trying to access the computer on the left side of my vat as they chatter excited in finding me alive, well, so am i to be frank...
“......?”
I tilt my head as i see that one of the females are trying to talk to me, not that i can, can i?
“Hello?” i try saying and I'm surprised the sound left with no difficulty, and no sticky liquid in my mouth too, strange....
“.........!”
“.......................!”
“..........!”
The trio redoubles their actions at the exclamation of the female that tried talking to me, and shortly the male that was messing with the wires and components of the computer manages to make it work......
“....!”
“.............!.......uhh.........!!...?”
“ok!”
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Well look at that, I'm understanding gestures now, congratulations me!......yeah, not helping myself here.....let’s look at what they are trying to do......huh, avaloniam, and i can read the bugger, now that’s new....oh, they are now trying to access the raw data from the computer now, haha, looks like avaloniam is too hard for non avalis i see....Why the heck am i understanding all that zeros and ones!?
“...........?”
“.....................”
They look at eachother and looks at a male that is supervising the two......he nods and the two nods back and the male at the computer tries to override the system alert only to get another lines of zeros and ones........hum... alert override not possible, Nexus not active........
“...........?”
“....................”
The male supporter starts talking on it’s radio as i hear the voice of another female on the radio saying a simple “OK”........
Not long after the light’s go on and i find myself partially blind for a moment from the potent light and hear the roar of engines turning on coming from my back at some distance away, looks like they started the generator of this place......
“Energy detected, Nexus System booting up.....”
“.........?”
“................!!!”
“Boot complete, scanning system, optimal, damage to base 67%, life signals: 1, Subject 99: Alex Silver, Codename: Omega, Status: Optimal, starting end sequence procedure, eta 3 Hours.”

I hear a lot of screeches and roars down bellow, massive amounts of chitering and roars as everything around me becomes frenetic as i hear shouting and movements everywhere making me dizzy.....
“Raptor One! .............! Raider 2 .... 3 .........!!! ...........?!”
“.......! ...........@$@!.. 3 hours!”
“...........???”
“.........” the male hacker\engineer nods and looks at the leader.
“........!”
The hacker nods and inputs a string of commands on the computer as i hear running of a group towards this place from the upper level, i hear a clank and my vat starts going down gently to shield me again in heavy plate armor corroded by time, i know that this may save my life so i look grateful at the group as the five regroups here and starts to leave the room.... only to be gotten off guard by the floor vent flying up to the roof!
“Raider 2, ......................!!!!???”
I hear the leader shout as everyone pulls a pistol from their holsters, but it’s too late as the female medic was about to be bitten in two by a frigging giant cockroach! My vat if half bellow the plate as i watch the woman that is about to be severed in two.....the world slows to a crawl as i see the only person that gave me proper reactions and worried for me about to die.... no.... i don’t want this to happen, i refuse!
The tug on my mind is strong and i feel the blood rushing trough my veins and identify my arms and legs lighting up as i lock vision with the monster of a insect as i identify my intention clearly, push, force, and miliseconds later the insect stops in mid air, and fly at breakneck speed to the wall! Not dead, but visibly injured as it tries to stand with it’s broken legs.......
I see the medic looking at me in surprise before she was shouted at by the leader as they retreat to the corridor while shooting the roaches, my vision is back to normal and the lines no longer shows on me but i still feel the power running in me waiting for my command, i look at closing crack to the corridor where i hear gunfire, not form pistols but from full on rifles as i hear then retreating from here to the upper level.....
Looks like i won’t be seeing then anytime soon.... start hibernation mode.*Hibernation mode activated: 22% left*.......................

As i go in and out of conscience i hear heavy gunfire, explosions, shaking, dying screeches, then....
THUNK...loud and clear, above, the same sound of a latch being forcefully unlocked...
THUNK...again...THUNK....another one...THUNK...the weightless liquid pushes me down as i feel the vat being pulled up and a strong light rushes to my closed eyes, forcing me out of hibernation as i see, now clearly even in this viscous liquid everyone, 15 persons of diverse gender, five of it that i remember being the scientists that found me, the medic comes closer to examine me again in worry as i unfold myself slightly to see her better...
Red fur, canis, female, using an exoskeleton that looks like it’s made for defense and survivability in mind only, green eyes full of worry and at the same time happiness to see me still alive, i looks at the other four and see the same tipe of exoskeleton suit as the medic, but the other 10 have a variety of exoskeleton suits ranging from slim to bulky, most notable of all, they all look high tech.......
The Hacker\Engineer starts looking at the lower latch that is keeping my vat in place and starts to unlatch the clamps one by one as the other scientists move in position to lift the vat in a triangle formation, engineer up front, hacker on the left side and the supporter, i think it’s a historian\translater on the right as the leader stays in front to guide while the medic stays on the back of the formation.....
I see the leader give a nod to a female in bulky exoskeleton suit as everyone starts walking a squad in front and a squad on the rear guns up and ready to shoot at anything that moves......
The walks is pretty uneventful as we climb to the upper floors, i look to the side and see a big avalon number: 6th.... then my hears twitch as i feel a wave of terror, instincts blaring at me to run as fast as possible so i unfurl myself completely in alarm and start moving my ears in alarm trying to know why do i feel like that........
“SCREEEECH!!!!” I hear bellow us, not distant nor close, but i can hear metal ripping from where i saw a closed one floor elevator shaft.
“Shit! ....! ....! ....!” I hear everyone panicking as we start to run....
Lucky me, the first word i learn in this new world is a curse word, and with a present at that! No! I'm not going to curse! Heck, bring it on! I'm bored of your god forsaken screeches!
My body light’s up with arcs of red and blue lightning like energy as the lines in my body lit’s up as i keep watch on the rear.*Combat mode activated, Aiming systems online, Esperium circuits active, Esperium sync rate: 71% and rising*.......
The frantic running didn’t stop as we passed the 5th floor, that is were the creature happeared, pick a mutant cockroach and crank it to eleven and multiply it’s chittin by 3, that, sir, is what I'm seeing, the roaring sound of bullets didn’t even dent the bugger, just made it more enraged as it passed by the carcass of it’s children, welp, that explains a lot, it’s a matriarch and it’s angry seeing the same people twice doing the same thing twice....
The matriarch accelerated in hour direction bulldozing everything in it’s path trying to reach us that is frantically running and shooting back at this mini kaijuu of a insect, but not even the .50cal machinegun of the guy is doing damage, only slowing it as it scraps even more metal from the walls as it still try to bulldoze it’s way to the group, getting closer and closer, so i do the best thing i can, *Target locked on* PUSH, and it almost screechs to a halt, enabling us to run from it.....
4th floor of frantic running, same tactic, shoot it till god came or the weapon jams, push, run next floor, rinse and repeat, easy right?
3th floor same thing.
2th floor do it again.
That is until we got to the first floor, everyone exhausted of running but not relenting at all, the medic exhausted is practically glued with the rear formation, looks like she’s not made for running i see, i look warily and move my ears around to localize the target, but strangely not only did i lose it’s lock but it’s not making sound...... did it get tired and forgo the chase?
But as we were passing a X shaped corridor i suddenly hear screaming metal to my left and lo and behold our chaser emerges bulldozing in our direction in extremely close distance, enough to see the blood in it’s eyes of rage, i was got by surprise and the matriarch was about to slam the vat i was before the world slowed down to a crawl, *Bullet time activated* PUSH! EXTREME!, i gave the command and the matriarch stopped and was pushed back, but she anchored down on the metal floor piercing it not wanting to move back a milimeter, it felt as if it lasted forever as the rear squad was running by her double time, the matriarch did something i didn’t know she could do, spit acid!
The rear squad was caught in full and so did the medic, but the leader of the rear squad defended her by pushing her mostly out of the way, the medic managed to pass trough but the rear squad was a melting down piece of metal and agony, visibly dissolving as i could see their bones and eyes melting less than 50 cm to me, and i froze, the fear of death, the grim reaper placing it’s hand on my shoulder, whispering: you’re next....... then i saw her, screaming and roaring for us to go and leave her as her right shoulder melts and left leg cracks to the weight of her as it is almost only bones....
*WARNING! STRESS LEVEL AT 100%!!!*,*WARNING! RAGE OVERDRIVE ACTIVATED! COUNTDOWN: 60sec*
The world that was already in slow motion halted all together, all i could feel was, was, WAS, WRATH, not the melting sun type of wrath, no, it was the Cold, bellow subzero type of wrath, the cold iciness of this wrath did not allow emotion, did not permit mercy, only perfection of action......
Scanning status report: Matriarch cockroach, danger level: extreme, kill chance: 0%, rethinking strategy, memory lane detected, Raptor One, identifying possibility of assisted kill: 75%, optimal, target, codename: medic, chance to live in actual situation: 0%, motives: 1: rear line, 2: melting arm and leg, 3: incapacitated, incapable of movement. Scanning.... complete, starting action sequence.....
With extreme precision i Scanned the melting parts of medic and used code slice, code cauterize, code pain block, then code pull launching her with precision to the front squad raider 2, all in one movement, as the world returned to slow motion....
*Stress level at 75%*
As the matriarch rounded the corner i hit her with code slam, and she bucked up has it’s head slammed the ground and it’s front legs creaked by the force making the matriarch dizzy, enabling the rest of us including medic as she was caught and carried by one of the members of Raider 2, letting us scape and get enough space to not get spit again... the running continued as we neared closer and closer to the hangar bay with the matriarch in tow bulldozing everything in it’s way as i never leaved my glowing dragon like red and cyan eyes. My hears twitch as i hear the voice of the leader yelling to the radio........
“Raptor One! ...........! ............!!!”
With that order i start hearing the thump of mech legs adjusting it’s position for optimal firing line of sight and sound of cannons pre-heating.
As i hear the sound of boots telling me we are about to strafe left i start concentrating to my maximum, only the perfection of it’s kill will quench my rage and heat my wrath back to normal....
I feel the sudden pull of the gravity to the left, as this movement was my cue i launch my heaviest psionic attack two times, code: gravity, one on top, one under the matriarch so it does not move nor breaks the metal floor because of the pressure, the attack was so sudden that the matriarch not only halted but also got crushed by two opposing forces breaking some of her legs and incapacitating most of the others.....
As i look to my right, while curling myself and losing conscience i see the grand and majestic mechs, looking extremely similar to the vikings with big heavy cannons..... i marvel at it’s glory as i see the mechs with a image of a Velociraptor with the number one as the melody of flying steel lulls me to sleep with the dying screech of my first and last ever hated nemesis.........
