Chapter 19 - The Bioforce

The Bioforce

        Jenny flew back to Dr. Connors base, now completely ready for his upgrade. She hadn't told mom about the 3rd party upgrade, and she would probably say no if she did. What she needed was the power Dr. Connors spoke about in his lectures. "Hello Jenny." Dr. Connors said, inviting Jenny in. "Today, I will show you to our Bioforce, and begin your upgrade. It may take days to invoke the correct reaction, though I trust you wouldn't mind to stay that time span, would you?" He asked. "No Dr, I don't care. It seems as if the world has abandoned me. Brad and my mom don't even speak to me anymore and I have no ally in the world but you." "Ah, it may be hard for you to suffer through change, but you will get there. Your friends and family may change, but you are always there for you. Now, let me introduce you to the Biosquad." He said, taking her to a new wing of the house. He brought her into the auditorium. She observed that the suits were suppended in mid air, inside test tubes, chemicals in them, constantly testing. "Please, take a seat, the show is about to start." Dr Connors directed, as more men and women in camoflauge suits walked in. She sat towards the front, as it had said in his letter. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to this meeting of the Bioforce! As we know, our soleum duty is to protect the world from the menace of 48s! The 48s are a murderous mutant species that must be erradicated! We all know this, and that is why we have gathered today. The most powerful 48 lives in this very city, and we will hunt it down. We will destroy it with the strength and skill of our newest member, Jenny Wakeman!" Dr. Connors said, waving for Jenny to get up to the podieum. "Say something." Dr. Connors whispered to her as she stood out on the podieum. She thought for a second, and it all came to mind. "My fellows, why are we here today? I do not mean us Bioforce, but humanity. Why are you here? Was it murderous ways, or homicidal rampages that got you to your state? Or was it intelligence and scientific acheivement that brought us to the top? I believe in the latter. After I lost a dear friend to a 48, my heart was crushsed. Now I know what must be done! I hope you welcome me into your ranks so that I may continue my mission to protect humanity, not 48s." Jenny said at the podieum. Cheering was heard from all around to Jenny's speech, though that was only half of it. The cheers were also met by a torturous upgrade, a dark power, that rendered her invincible. A dark power, created by Dr. Connors, so he could use her as a weapon.

        "Jenny, are you sure you are ready to start the upgrade? I will not ask again." Dr. Connors said, taking Jenny down the hallway. "I will do what I need to sir. Through pain and suffering, though sorrow and doubt, I will not be lead a stray. I will continue to try to lead the path to defeat him and his evil ways." Jenny said, showing her loyalty. "Excellent.." Dr. Connors cooed maliciously, tauntingly, yet swiftly. They entered through a door into another hallway, much darker and with many more computers. A labratory almost. "I will go get the CD-Rom to install the upgrade, you sit down and relax Jenny. Sit down here, put on the helmet, and relax." the doctor said, telling her softly and gently to relax. He left the room. She thought to herself, wondering what the upgrade was. He spoke of cell structure in her, and how it would empower her. She did not know what this ment. Though suddenly, Jenny was bound by cuffs of solid titanium. She was lifted out of her seat, and pinned aganist a table lying vertically. She felt fearful, though she had no regrets. "You did not think this was some simple software upgrade, did you?" Dr. Connors said, no longer melodic and inviting, but blunt, snapping, and forceful. "No sir... I didn't." Jenny replied quietly, in obedience of the doctor. "Good, you are smarter than your grade point average says. Well, the procedure is a full body reconstruction. We use your framework, gadgets and other things as a base. We replace all your mechanical movement systems with a cellular structure, and rebuild your outter exoskeleton. You will have miniature robots running you. Every hit you take, they will build more, and you will not take damage. Every blow you deal, they grow in power, and the more you battle, the stronger you are. Finally, every weapon you use, the cells will make it 10 times more powerful. You will become invincible XJ9, the only force able to stop The Shadow Ghost. Though, we must first allow your body to not fight the cells." he said, with a small laugh. "This is where you might feel a little pain...." He said, pulling down a lever. Jenny felt hundreds of tiny beings surging into her body, eating her skin. She felt the agonizing pain as her body fought the invaders, and the wounds they made gashed open, reclosing and forming faster than she could see. She screamed with the stabbing, throbbing, aching, shock as loud as she could, begging for mercy. The electricity shot through her body and felt like a thousand explosions throttled up her body, paralizing her from the pain. Her braced arms and hands didn't help either, her body rising and them fighting her, creating even more. She was not designed to feel pain, yet it was so great, she did. The jolt stopped, Jenny's skeleton battered and bruised. "Well, the first fleet didn't seem very compatiable, let us try the next one." Dr Connors said, pulling the lever down again. Jenny screamed as she felt whipped by this new batch, eating at her back, ripping apart circutry. She wanted to fight it, though she wouldn't, She knew she could brake the binds, but she wouldn't. She wanted the power, no matter how much pain she would go through. Her eyes began to tear, not able to withstand that much pain. Her heart though wouldn't break. It was already broken. Her spirit couldn't be tamed. It had already escaped to the wild. Her mind couldn't be cracked, she was to bent to shatter more than possible. She was caught in the grip of revenge. As she cryed from the great pain, she smiled. As the whipping, devouring cells surged through her body, parts aching and cracking, she smirked. And when she was bound, humiliated, in pain, and crying, she smiled. For nights and days, this process continued, Jenny feeling unable to take the pain, but able to keep fighting, when suddenly, a batch matched. Her body was fused with the cellular structure. The pain was matched with a sense beyond normal feeling. She had became a living being, made of metal, but living. Her body kept itself alive, it did not be just birthed. She could grow stronger, heal without repair, and move faster. She was not a robot, she was now a mechanical living being. She knew this, and this feeling of belonging, power, and strength infused with her body. She felt human, mortal, yet invincible. Her spirit was not broken, and she began to grow. Her damaged areas healed instantly. Her pain faded away. Her senses began to kick in. Her emotions began to gain concious. She was no longer a robot, because she was not built. She was now born. Able to age, live, and grow. Though that was not her weakness. It was her strength. In the past, she would need lengthy upgrades for just one new gadget. Now, she could become twice her strength in one day. Dr. Connors knew this too. He knew that she would become more powerful. He knew that she would heal. He knew she could lead him to victory, and if she didn't, she gave him the power to do so. He knew she could destroy him, though she still had a chance of failure. He knew that he had the real way to destroy Adam in him. A short procedure, and he now had the MCS. He could heal, but he would heal faster. He could fight, but now he could fight stronger. He could be born, but now he could rebirth. He was invincible. "One last test, my child, one last test. A test of all your strength, and an exposition of your strength. Though first, I want you to break your binds. You are strong enough now." He instructed, now back to his mellower tone. She fought the binds, shocking her body. It conducted, tearing apart metal and mechanics. She fought stronger. She healed her damage, and broke the binds with one hit aganist the table, shattering them into billions of miniature fragments. "I'm ready for any test you throw at me, any challenge. Just get it over with and tell me the plan." Jenny said, concluding his statement.

        Most people have tests in their life. Wheither moral, acedemic, or physical, everyone has tests. Jenny had all three wrapped into one. It tested her new body systems and her strength. It challenged her thinking skills in combat. Finally, it quized her ability to make the right choice morally when faced with her greatest enemy. This test, would bring her greatest challenge yet. Though she had all the tricks under her hull. She was in the middle of the ring, the stadium crawling with members of the Bioforce. There were thousands of robotic beings in the cage around the ring, though something chilling was different about them. They were 1/2 human, and were Biosoilders. Blood and oil were spread across the ring's floor. She was closing her eyes thinking of the lessons she learned when she was young. She was thinking to herself, of how she got here. She thought to herself, how she would escape this nightmare. She contemplated, how to exact her revenge. The clock was ticking down. The stadium cheered. "10........" she heard as she breathed deeply in. "9........" she thought as the world seemed to slow down. "8......." she recieved as she put her arms into the stance. "7......" she felt as her legs sank into the middle stance along with her body. "6......" she contemplated, now firm within the stance. "5......" she intook as she moved her hands into a balanced crane position, ready for the enemies. "4......" the stadium cheered, resuming normal speed. "3,2,1!" They yelled as the flood of Biosoliders came out of the cage. She first came in with a hook kick, knocking one back, entering a cartwheel from the slide back, knocking over and knocking out a wave of Bios. She slid back, and yelled a battle cry when she pulled out her chainsaw arms. She sliced through waves and waves, spinning and dancing around, each punch a twisting spiral of sharpened, chained, metal. She took back her blood soaked blades, pulling out a lazer cannon. She, with one round of blasts, wiped out the fleet. She retook the center, now facing a group of rocket equipped, nearly invincible, robotic advisaries. All of them fired at once, ripping her apart, burning and melting her metallic body, into a tangled mess. She was knocked through the roof, flying through the air. She fell back, mangled and destroyed, and hit the ground. Though, she wasn't defeated. Her body miraculously rose, and reassembled itself. Rebirth, regrowth, regeneration. Her cells reproduced, and recreated her entire structure, more powerful. She did a large, spinning sweep kick, knocking back all her advisaries. She flew up, and pulled out a giant fan device. She turned the ring into a wind tunnel, knocking back and forth missles and robots, destroying themselves. She flew back down, and saw that a group of snipers were flying down, along with more standard soilders. They were no match. She did not even have to fight. She just jumped through the crowded mass of soliders. They began firing at her, missing from confusion, wiping out themselves. Once she was the last one standing. She flew back down, standing on the pile of flesh and metal. She only had one thing to say to the wild crowd, cheering for her victory. "Who's next!" she yelled, in a bloodlusting voice. "Very good Jenny, very good. Though, your test is not complete. You have proven your strength and skill in battle, but that is not all we need. If we have a warrior that allows their emotions to control their actions, they are as weak as a mere commoner with a level head. You must let go of your weakining emotions, let the wrath fill you. Do not judge if it is right, judge if it will help you to your victory. Now, I present your final opponent." Dr. Connors conclueded. "I am Killgore, destroyer of.." Jenny instantly stomped on him. "Well?" "Uhh, that wasn't your final test XJ9. Your final test is aganist a 48, from another world yes, but a pathogen of the 48 chromosome form. She is otherworldly, though has only a slightly different DNA than the 48s on Earth.". Silence filled the room as a familiar voice was heared by Jenny. "Jen? Where am I? I just woke up and, hey, who are they?" asked the shadowy girl as she got out of the cave. It was reviled that Misty was Jenny's final opponent. "I don't want to do this Misty, but I have to do it. You were a traitor, being a superhero for money, you are no better than the Shadow Ghost. All your kind is the same, no matter your cause, you are evil at heart. Prepare to die." Jenny concluded. "Wait!" Misty screamed as Jenny unleashed the first punch, blasting her through the wall.

        "HIJA!" Jenny yelled, flinging Misty back, through the court yard, crashing through buildings. "Jenny, wait! I need to explain!" Misty yelled as Jenny continued to ignore her and hit her. Misty tried after a few hits to transform into her ghost form, though Jenny hit nanoseconds before the transformation. "Jen, why are you doing this?" "It's a long story." Then, Misty tried getting in Jenny's mind, though she thought hard and flew Misty back farther than she started. "Jenny, I though you said you were my friend." "Times have changed, Misty. Remember when you almost annilatted me?" Misty tried to land punches and kicks on Jen, though each one was countered with a grapple move. "Stop... I'm dying. You'll kill me! Will you kill your friend?" "You almost did to me." She was too skilled for her, too strong for her, too swift for her. Misty kept taking blows. Jenny started a spin kick combo, flinging Misty into air. Misty was now bleeding from a punch directly to her face, knocking out teeth. "Jenny, I thought about what you said, if that is what this's about." "More than that Mist, more than that." She tried to outrun Jenny, but Jenny outran her, countered with a kick to the chest, knocking out Misty's air. Jenny pulled out a gun, and shot Misty in the chest, and then kicked her with a spin kick, knocking her back. "Jen, please! Have mercy! I'm your friend! We had good times! Don't forget them!" "No mercy, Misty, no mercy." She was at a cliff, near the edge of town now. Jenny lifted Misty up. "Jenny.... let me... say what I.... want to say.... before you decide to kill.... me.... Jen." Misty said, bleeding profusely now. "Okay, you have one shot at telling me why I shouldn't let your brains blow on the pavement." Jenny answered, holding Misty over the edge of the cliff. "Jenny... I thought about what you said. You were right. I shouldn't use my powers for my own gain. I began saving people freely, and I was, happier. I began to start getting publicity deals, and that allowed me to continue to make money. I didn't save people so I could be wealthy, I saved them because they needed me. I learned from you Jenny, though it has been a while since we last talked. I never got to tell you, that I really am your friend. I didn't just spare you because I wanted to, I spared you because you were my friend, and I couldn't hurt you. Could you do that to me?" Misty said, tears and blood in her eyes. Jenny felt heartbroken at first, though she remembered the destruction Misty caused. The destruction the Shadow Ghost caused. The entire species may destroy all of the universe, she thought. Her eyes went from compassion to hatred. Misty's eyes went from friendship to fear. Jenny had one response. "Yes" she responded as she dropped Misty into the abyss, her body speared by a stalagmite. Misty, in her final moments, bleeding profusely, wondered one question. Why had Jenny killed her?
