Karnage: Huehuehue, if you've made it here that means you're quite a fan of mine, so here's another huehuehue : http://royalroadl.com/fiction/7828

Year: 2016

Location: Emergency UN CDC laboratory.

Dr Falstein sat at his desk, a recorder and an armored test tube rested neatly before him. He continued to record his findings, sometimes he would laugh and other times he would look extremely scared and paranoid showing a complete 180 degree change in behavior. Yet somehow his words remained coherent and the words he spoke were the key vital pieces of information and each and every one of them brought about an amazing discovery.

"......No matter how I tried, they don't seem to have weaknesses.....Our race might not have been the most peace-loving bunch, but we do not deserve to be driven into extinction....No one gets to make that choice!"

"There have been rumors....I don't know how true it is, but apparently Dr Siegfried had escaped with a team of military scientists and took a huge amount of resources with them. People say he had been working on developing weapons that could at least give humanity a fighting chance"

Dr Falstein laughed drly, as he knew that it wouldn't be enough to stop the Valsith after the findings of his research.

"But then again....if it's that old man, he's probably already fascinated by this world. After all, his crazy ideas and inventions would be fully funded and put into practice now. Hahaha"

Dr Falstein opened his draw and his hand latched unto and old wine bottle that seemed to have quite the age. He unscrewed the cork and took several large gulps before his gaze landed on the test tube before him. A cold and insane light flickering in his eyes, almost bordering beyond possession followed by the sudden cruel curving of his lips.

"....I've already lost everything, I have nothing more to lose and I have nothing more I can do besides this. Even if they succeed in wiping out mankind, I will not let them off....Oh no, not at all!"

Dr Falstein suddenly broke out into a maniacal laughter, he suddenly picked up the recorder and brought it close to his face as his voice became whispers...

"In the year 2010, A strain of deadly black colored locust had swarmed Indonesia and wiped out over 60% of  it's entire population in a mere 3 days. The event was labelled as a mystery epidemic as no conclusive evidence was found, with the exception of the corpses of pitch black locusts everywhere."

"Some believed it was an act of God, some an act of bio-terrorism and some even thought that maybe a faction of sorts was testing a weapon because shortly before the Blacksworn locusts descended....Indonesia had been locked out of the internet and even the phones had stopped working"

"However, before any research could be carried out on the black locusts, their bodies turned into dust and faded away as if it were all a dream"

"Lucky eye-witness accounts of some survivors said that the black locusts did not survive longer than 6 hours, but the reproduction had outclassed anything humanity had ever seen and this is precisely what had caused such a devastating effect"

"The locusts were named "Blacksworn Locusts" they were classed as a mysterious strain and deemed highly aggressive and would swarm and eat anything that they were capable of eating. They had biting power that could rival a small dog, with mandibles that could cut steel and hunger issues that surpassed a hummingbird"

"It was deemed the perfect natural weapon by Biologists and Zoologists nationwide!"

"Did you know? Did you know?......I was the one who created them! Hahahahaha!"

Dr Falstein laughed madly as he looked at the test tube before him, he took a few more gulps of wine and smiled in the most gruesome manner. No one would have ever believed the upstanding character Dr Falstein, to be  one of the world's most wanted men.

"Did you know before all that.....The people who funded my research wanted to keep my identity a secret for obvious reasons....So they just called me "Doctor"...I had to wear a mask, a voice changer and a black body suit that hid all of my features"

"I was not the only one who worked in the lab they provided for me, that much is a given. I was aided with intelligent staff and capable assistants and this was precisely why my identity had to be hidden in case of a leak"

"....At first  they were all glad to work with me, they admired my ideas, my knowledge of animal genetics and they were absolutely bewitched by my theories! Hahaha! They thought that it would be just theories, or that I would apply my knowledge toward helping mankind"

"Even for a point in time, I had even believed this myself..."

*Amused laugh*

"...Yes, even I thought that maybe I would also do this....but the more and more I delved into the forbidden territory of genetic research, the more enthralled I became"

"It had started with producing bees that would make more honey....Not to long afterward, I had gotten bored after a while, so what if Bees could make more honey? No one acknowledged my genius! Nothing came of it because there was no applicable reason for them!"

"So I decided to create things to sate my own curiosity....at first they were harmless things, like spiders with web threads as strong as folded leather. I even mutated a Tuatara so it would grow to the size of a mini elephant and breathe fire, I wanted to create a dragon with my own two hands Haha! I decided to call it the "Welsh Dragon"

"Tuatara's naturally possessed a lifespan of 100-200 years, after enhancing it, it's current lifespan even I do not know! Hahaha!"

"The creatures I all created showed a high sense of intelligence as they recognized my as their creator and I had never once been harmed by them, I never keep them in isolation either; they had free run on the island where my laboratory was created"

"Slowly, such things stopped appeasing me....the things I created stopped being harmless and grew increasingly deadly. I even made some adjustments to already existing created creatures, the Tuatara was also one of them.  At some point in time I had created the Blacksworn Locust but it was by no means the cream of the crop and was even the weakest of them all."

"....I wanted to see destruction, I wanted to see what they could do"

*A few minutes of silence, coupled with soft whispers*

".....144 Million people died when the Blacksworn Locust descended...Hahahaha!"

Dr Falstein laughed out loud as his eyes widened in insanity.

"Did you know? My Employers were so terrified of what they had funded, they directly tried to cut me off. However that was something I anticipated, over the years I had gathered quite the evidence and blackmailed them all, both employer and staff into continuing to fund my research or I would tell the world of their involvement in the Blacksworn Locusts"

"I saved the files on a PC hidden in a safe location, If I didn't input a password every few hours; the information along with the evidence would be directly sent to the UN"

"One of them tried to resist, but I personally bashed his skull in with my suitcase in a moment of heat. Did you know what he called me before he died?.....Hahaha, he called me "Frankenstein". Maybe he must have been delirious or maybe the blow to the head had caused him to spout random nonsense, but one way or another that name had stuck with me for years."

"I had found out even though they all smiled and seemed to share my passion and joy, they were secretly calling me a freak behind my back. They name "Frankenstein" was supposed to be a derogatory term in their eyes, but to me it felt right; I had grown fond of the name. Hahaha!"

Dr Falstein laughed out once more before he took a few more gulps of wine. His eyes once more firmly rested on the armored test tube as he picked it up and placed the recorder in his top pocket.

"....But you know, compared to those things I created...This...Haha...This is on a different level from a whole other generation!"

"...The one thing I had never succeeded in doing was enhancing a human, that concept seemed impossible at first and it probably would have been in another 100 years. However, your existence changed everything. The laws we thought were unapproachable and unchangeable suddenly became a mirror of an older time, Your existence made it possible for humans to evolve into another plane of existence"

Dr Falstein suddenly got up from his desk as he walked over to a door within his darkened room. One of his hands stretched out in a drunken manner and pressed buttons on a lit up panel next to the door. The door made an automative sound as it slid open revealing a bright white light within, Dr Falstein reflexively raised his hand with the wine bottle and shielded his eyes.

*Grrrrrtt*

The grey-haired man, after getting accustomed to the light looked passionately into the room with a gaze filled with reverence and worship. In front of him was a computer panel and beside it seemed to be a sort of IV device. However this was not the astonishing part, this computer and IV device was built on a ledge...... directly below Dr Falstein and the apparatus were about 100 human sized cocoons.

The IV device was connected to a huge tube, which further separated into several smaller tubes which were then connected to the cocoons.

"...It wasn't hard to gather this much people, along with the invasion of the Valsith humanity suffered some sort of epidemic that claimed as much lives as the Valsith did. With promises of safety and a vaccine these people willingly gave themselves up....well it's not like I lied though, if they survive this then they will have been saved. Hahaha"

"The chances of even 1 of them surviving though...I wish I had more subjects, but the human body shouldn't be underestimated. The hidden secrets within it, even for as long as we lived were unable to completely understand them even with the current level of science"

"...Besides, I only have enough of this serum for 100 people anyway, it was only a single Queen we managed to capture after all. This is just the right amount, any more and what comes out might not have any semblance of a human. That isn't what I need, I need something to resemble humans and to have a sense of belonging to the human race."

"If what comes out is more Valsith than human, then we'd only be giving them a powerful ally"

Dr Falstein suddenly walked over to the panel, pressed a few buttons which initiated a whirring sound. A robotic feminine voice emitted from the computer as Dr Falstein continued to begin his work.

" Genetic Splicing Initiated"

The grey-haired man uncovered the cover from the armored test tube and walked over to the IV device. With a swift jab, he stabbed the test tube into the IV with both hands. A green-colored liquid which glowed at 2 second intervals entered the IV device and slowly entered the tube afterwards another agent seemed to be added to the serum giving it a much larger volume.

"Genetic Override Initiated"

The component serum immediately left the main tube and spread itself evenly among the 100 tubes, the dimly lit room with the hundred cocoons lit up a pale eerie green color. The IV's connected to the cocoon's lit up a pale green color, as they had been wrapped around the cocoons, it would have seemed as though 100 snakes were firmly wrapped around eggs giving an eerie feel.

Dr Falsteins eyes showed nothing but reverence as this process was being handled by his only true and trusted friend, the AI that assisted him in realizing his goals.

"Genetic Graphing Analyzed"

"Cloning Results"

"Replicating Clones"

"Commencing Mutation Sequence"

"Maturity Estimation.....200.5 years"

"Current Success Rate....5%"

"Estimated Success Rate After Elapsed Time.....10%"

Dr Falstein scratched his beard, in one last gulp he finished the bottle of wine and tossed it in a corner. His eyes revealed a mesmerizing look filled with mysticism and archaic intelligence that seemed to border on possession. Anyone who would have seen those eyes would have felt as though they had something stolen from them.

As he gazed at the cocoons wrapped in a pale green light, it was almost as if he knew something that a human should never know, as if he had grasped something so earth-shattering and profound that any other human in the world would never be able to wrap their mind around the concept.

".....Checkmate"

He suddenly reached into his pocket and withdrew a silver S&W 500 Magnum with the name "Frankenstein" engraved along it's nozzle. With no hesitation at all Dr Falstein placed the gun to his head-

*Bang*

His lifeless body fell to the floor and created a puddle of warm blood, the disturbing smile on his face remained completely frozen as the blood drained from his face making the muscles unable to move.
