The Truth [ Finale ]

{ Things have started to calm down, between Diane and Appaulius }

Diane: Let's get to my ship. But before that, you know anything about a "Core Extractor?"

Appaulius: I do. But it's already gone.

Diane: What do you mean it's gone?

Appaulius: I'll explain once you take me to the ship. [• ~ • ]

Diane: You little brat...

{ Diane and Appaulius make their way to the ship, and while on the way Appaulius starts telling Diane what happened in the "research station." }

They started gathering "refugees" to perform experiments 4 years ago. The head scientist thought that it would be easier to make Core Enhanced super soldiers. Than to make a weapon. This was all going on while they were under your "protection."

When I first woke up in this place. I was 12.

It was already filled criminals, and outcast of societies. Since I was so weak, no one picked on me. I was living a quiet life in this prison. Until one day...

The Physician that was assigned to me found out about my bloodline.

Diane: That you're Zhytozin?

Appaulius: Half.

Diane: Half!? What's the other half??

Appaulius: I don't know....my mom never told me.

Diane: Must be hard kid. Not knowing where you came from.

{ Appaulius continues with his story }

Since word gets around fast in the prison. The prisoners stated treating me different some were nice to me, and kept trying to get close. But most stared at me with discontent. My life became hell after that.

They would take my daily rations, making me starve, when free-time came around they would try to harass me constantly.

Shoving, Pushing, and Kicking!!!!

They made it seem like it was a game. So it wouldn't attract the warden's attention.

I could've endured all that if.....

Diane: if what??

Appaulius: if I didn't meet her. "Ash"

She gave me a portion of her daily rations in secret, she took me to the clinic whenever I would succumb to my bruises.

Among the ones that was trying to get close. She was the only one that was genuine.

Our days, would go on like this.

Since I was Zhytozin any minor physical injuries, would disappear In about 2-3 days. She made me see hope in what seemed like hell.

Until the day came.

They had finally finished working on the modified "Core Extractor." But it would only work once. So they decided to take ZERO chances and choose me. You know.....since I'm half Zhytozin.

Whatever injuries I may sustain from the core would heal almost immediately. I gladly accepted the experiment. I thought "if I had this power could we finally be able to leave this bland, and colorless life."

But as usual. Life hits you in the face with another tragedy.

I didn't know this at the time.

But one of the requirements. Of the experiment were.

"Extreme Stress"

I don't know the reason behind it, but I know it had something to do with my anatomy. My heart. It wasn't fast enough to keep up with the distribution of the Core's Energy. They needed my blood rushing and so. They trained me like hell. For 1 year. Until I finally met their "conditions."

The day of the experiment.

They wanted 100% chance.

So once I was tied up and the core was about to "blasted" into me.

They...

They.....

They!!!

They.

They killed her.

In front of me....

You can put the pieces together can't you?

They got what they wanted.....a murder machine.

Diane: but what did ash want from you? Appaulius? What did she want for you?

Appaulius: I don't know.....

Diane: She wanted the best for you. She wanted you to live a life free from. Murder, Greed, and Lust. Everything that those guys were.

She didn't want that for you.

She cared about you.

At least, that's what I believe.

Live life not how they raised you. But what you think is the best for you.

Appaulius: Shut up...granny.....

Diane: Just so you know! I'm 32 that's not that old! Sheesh.....let's get out of this dead station. I have to report back to my superiors.
