The humans all turned around in unison to face the one in shadow, who had an odd look of pride on his face. "Explain yourself Dr. Alpha! That project you were working on was nothing more than a tiny experiment which produced an ordinary anthro body. How do you explain this!?" One demanded, gesturing at the static on the screen.
Dr. Alpha simply chuckled and stepped slightly closer. "I'm afraid that's classified information, you blundering bundle of neurons. But I can tell you this much: Just because the body is nothing out of the ordinary and may be somewhat weak compared to the other projects...ZERO is the only one with a specifically implanted mind and spirit.

ZERO slowly looked around, almost as if he was seeing the world for the first time. He growled as countless foreign senses reached his brain and he struggled to comprehend it all, trying to block out the voice in his head, trying to stop the noise. ZERO didn't want to return to the void he had been in before. He didn't want to be imprisoned in that void called the subconcious again, allowing Flames free reign. No...ZERO had a mission to do. He lowered his aura and concentrated on the cloudy memory, unable to make out anything but an echoing voice: "...Fighting is all..."
