Transformation

As Dr. Valencia ran up the stairway, she could hear screams all around her, but as she continued to climb the screams got more distant, until it was only a low wail. She had reached the final floor that this stairway would reach, cautiously she cracked the doo and peered through. The hallway appeared to be clear, and there wasn't a smell of iron. Sliding through the door, she quietly shut it, and started to move down the hallway.

"Stop right there." A young black man came into sight while holding up a 5th generation plasma rifle. He was wearing the basic guard attire, it had malleable, lightweight armor pads that protected the body minus the joints and face. He did not wear a helmet, and his eyes showed suspicion towards the doctor.

"W-w-w-w-wait," Dr. Valencia came to a halt with a stutter, "I'm still sane, though with what I saw I do have to question it."

"Dr, Cortez is that you?" the young man asked, not lowing his weapon that was still sighted on her.

"Yes, thanks for the scare Angel, are you the first one awoken from cryo?" she asked.

"Yea, I am, Snake and Lion are the next two after me followed by Shark and Coyote, after them the only one that is left is that crazy mofo who went on ice years before us."

"Do you mind not aiming a gun at me, and do you know if the way to the bridge is safe?"

"Yea, come with me Doc, well get you to the Captain." Angel replied.

Following Angel she was led to the bridge were Captain Maverick was waiting alone. His back was facing them, and he was looking at roughly twenty screens, all but one showing the brutality that was currently running rampant inside the vessel. Shaking his head, he turns around to face the 'good' doctor and the specialist beside her. Looking at her with hatred in his eyes he moves towards the pair.

"You saw what your abomination created, now how do we stop this sh*tshow?" he snarled at Dr. Valencia.

"Are you sure it was Subject 07?" Dr. Valencia counters, "For all we know it could have been something else entirely, besides the serum didn't show any kind of changes like what was down there!"

"Follow." Captain Maverick stated, before turning his back to the doctor and headed back to the monitors. Dr. Valencia followed and gasped as she saw Subject 07, or what was left of her. The only thing that allowed her to tell it was Subject 07 was her face, the rest of her body had changed. The from the neck down it was as if she had become a massive worm like creature that had tendrils coming out of her body and leaving holes as they fell to the floor that would change as Subject 07 moved forward. Her face, when it would be in the sight of a camera had a sickening smile plastered on her face as if what she was feeling complete ecstasy from what was happening to her. But she now had multiple eyes on her face. Looking away, Dr. Valencia felt as if she was going to be sick.

"Don't look away doctor, you need to see what you created." Captain Maverick directed to Dr. Valencia, "Angel hold her head if you need to."

"Roger that sir, sorry Dr. Cortez, but continue watching I do not want to have to get physical with you, but orders are orders." Angel replied.

Dr. Valencia glared at the two men in the room with her and sighed. She turned her attention back to Subject 07. What she saw was now etched into her memory, she watched as Subject 07's face slowly fell off as two flaps of flesh wiped it off, showing even more eyes behind the skin that was removed. The flesh below the flap that closed was torn apart showing row upon row of serrated teeth, the flesh on the upper 'lip' hung loosely in front of its mouth. The flesh on the lower 'lip' hung down until it almost touched the floor, showing the creatures gums, that were purple and showed decay. Its entire body vibrated as it started to shed its outer layer, showering the walls and floor with blood and old skin. As this was happening small limbs started to grow, but due to the camera now being covered in blood it was hard to discern exactly what was happening. Maverick walked over and shut off the feed.

"That is what you created, and now its what you need to figure out how to destroy." He stated while he stared at Dr. Valencia with a look that held disgust and rage.

Sorry for releasing so late today, had to focus on my children to ensure they actually did their homework. Also this is the first chapter out of the three that I have planned to write today. I may do additional chapters as well to make up for the late release. But do expect at least another two chapters within the next two hours.
