Chapter 2

"Oh, I have the perfect place to begin. It was 26 years ago, or when I was around five years old." Rocket started as the rest of The Guardians were sitting across the lounge persistently listening to him.

-------------------------------------------------------26 Years ago------------------------------------------------------

Young rocket was huddled in the far corner of his holding cell with his mother, he was the only child left as his two siblings had been taken away not to be seen again. After an unknown amount of time Rocket and his mother heard the clanking of robots coming toward their cage. As the door slid open the raccoon's were met with the cold red glow of the sensor. Rocket started to growl at the robot, but it paid no attention to that as it grabbed rocket by the scruff and pulled him away from his mother while she tried to attack the robot. The robot pulled away the angry raccoon trying to attack it and continued to take rocket away from his mother. As they rocket was held onto by the cold metallic claws of the robot and carried down multiple hallways making left and right turns until they eventually made it to their destination. Stood before the small frantic raccoon was a door that stood higher than the sky. As the door opened, a rush of colder air flooded throughout the corridor and the raccoon was presented with a room full of robots, surgical and medical equipment, and a single operation table in the middle with restraints for the arms and legs. The robot forced the raccoon onto the table and restrained him with the medal bands at the corners of the table. The robot got a needle and injected the raccoon with it and he almost immediately passed out.

As soon as the raccoon gained his consciousness he felt an excruciating pain run throughout his body, pulsing with every beat of his heart and his head ran rampant with his first coherent thoughts. When he tried to open his eyes they hurt more than before and he could hear every sound imaginable from the clanking of the robots, breathing of a mysterious entity nearby and everything in between. Rocket started to panic and tried to move his arm, but it felt as though his limbs were being ripped from his body. There were so many thoughts running through his head, but all he could do was yell his lungs out even if the pain was unbearable. After a good few minutes of yelling, the raccoon tired himself out and stopped his yelling only to be replaced by a mans voice.

"How are you feeling subject 89P13?" The strange man asked with a tired voice. The raccoon understood what the creature but didn't know how to respond, until his head was flooded with words.

"Bad" The raccoon said just above a whisper.

"Good, you will be taken to your room to recover from the operation. If you struggle it will only make it worse so please cooperate." The presumed scientist said as a metal hand grabbed the raccoon and hoisted him into the air. The raccoon was taken to the opposite side of the building away from his mother. When rocket tried to reach for the way to his mother he couldn't lift his arm and was placed in a new holding cell and on the bed. Before he could take in any of the details rocket fell asleep.

Rocket woke up, the memories from the operation before flooding back into his head. He missed the warmth of his mother he had known for his entire life, and felt his body ache all over. When he opened his eyes, rocket was presented with a cell with a metal door, concrete walls, a simple bed and toilet. As the raccoon started to move a voice came out of nowhere louder than he had ever heard

"Subject 89P13 put on one of the given suits and follow the light to the testing chamber." The booming voice ordered. Having no other option, the raccoon put on the orange and black jumpsuit and headed for the door. The raccoon was taken back as the door slid open without anything touching it and hesitantly followed the blinking green light. As the raccoon followed the light down on all fours he flinched at every sound or movement made by the robots traveling throughout the entire confine. When he finally reached the end of the blinking light the door slid open and he made his way into a completely white room as then the door slid close and a mirror on the other side of the room became transparent with a group of scientist behind him.

"Alright subject 89P13 we are going to have you preform a couple of test for us. The first thing we need you to do is learn to walk normally, so use the rails on the side of the wall to help start you off." As the irritated sounding man cut off the speaker rocket made his way over to the wall. The raccoon proceeded to place one of his hands on the rail to give himself support himself as he slowly shifted to a bipedal position and tried to walk which was accompanied by falling down. For most of the day that was all he did, trial and error but mostly error until the angry man called for him to stop and follow another blue light toward the cafeteria. When rocket got to the cafeteria he sat down at an empty table and noticed there was no one else there. A robot went over to him and dropped a trey full of various foods in front of him, and rocket proceeded to eat the mysterious food like an animal, shoving the food down his throat as fast as he could.

Once rocket finished his food he sat there until a voice called him to follow the blue light to the lab area. When rocket got to the door of the lab, the metal doors slid apart revealing the table and utensils used on him before. The raccoon was hoisted up one of the robots and placed on the table then strapped down by the five metal bands for his hands, feet, and one for his tail. He was faced down when he felt a scapulae slice through his back, revealing his spine to the scientist while rocket continued to scream out in pain. Eventually the raccoon passed out from the pain, while the scientist just continued to work on him.

Rocket woke up in his bed a couple days later with an IV in his arm to keep his nutrients sustained. As he started to stir he noticed his legs, arms, and back were throbbing, and when he tried to get up he felt like he was being weighed down by an invisible voice. It was then that a scientist entered the room with a clipboard and sheet of paper attached to it.

"Subject 89P13 after observing how you were functioning after the first operation, we decided that you needed more help to work properly. With that in mind wee proceeded to do an operation the implanted cybernetic muscles and metal bone plating in your back, arms, and legs. This will not only make it easier to function upright but in turn make you faster and stronger once you get used to your new muscles. After you eat, you will head to the training area so you can learn to permanently stand in a bipedal position and walk around like a normal person instead of some animal." Said the scientist in a precise manner, then left the raccoon to get up and head to the cafeteria by himself

When rocket got to the cafeteria there was still no one else there so he sat in the spot where he sat last time and the same mush that they called food was plopped in font of him on a trey. Rocket was so hungry that it didn't matter what was in front of him, he still tried to eat it faster than he could swallow it.

Once the raccoon finished his so called meal he fallowed the green light toward the training area. When the door opened, rocket first saw the obstacle course that took up most of the room, then saw an assortment of other areas in the large room, from combat training to simple learning programs. As the raccoon was taking everything in, a mans voice came over the intercom.

"Subject 89P13, we are about to begin with the obstacle course" He said in a strong, commanding voice.
