"How far are you with your progress Dr. Witta? How are the brainwashed doing?" a male scientist asked.

"Dr. Jan Samson, how many times shall I tell you to address me by my first name. We are not working together since yesterday after all! We were able to capture all 30 Lupains from the cultural program from which 15 are brainwashed and the others will follow soon." a young blonde scientist replied.

"Did you know? I recently heard from a colleague that we could have spared the little ones from the process."

"How come?" Asked Dr. Witta.

"General Myers said that we can train the big ones as soldiers. As for the small and weak he saw their only use in the laboratory."

"In the laboratory?"

"Yes, he said as soldiers they would have indeed no military use but we should test which diseases work on Lupains. Maybe cut open some specimen for a better understanding of their anatomy. We have to find a way to eradicate this plague."

"I understand. Has he already decided which Lupains are provided for the laboratory?"

"Yes, the white one there, 4022XY. His given name is Shane by the way."

"Shane? My last ex had also this name" laughed Dr. Carol Witta.

"Should I separate him from the machine?"

"No, in a couple of minutes this will be done anyway. Then the others are ready."

"Oh, speaking of minutes. It is 12 o'clock already, time for lunch. You want to come along Carol?"

"No Jan, I'm still waiting until the program is finished and prepare everything for the recovery phase. Our new subjects should feel comfortable."

"All right, see you later Carol."

"Enjoy your meal, until later Jan."

Dr. Jan Simon began walking to the canteen.

"So now it's your turn, 4021XY. The name Akira fits you. It's a nice name," she said, caressing Akira's face.

"I'll get you and the others out of here somehow."

2 months later

"Now, step forward subject Akira 4021XY. Take all weapons in front of you one by one and try to hit the target. You start with human weapons following with weapons of the invaders."

"Dr. Witta, what do you think about this subject?"

"Sir General Myers. In my opinion he is perfect, he is physically far ahead the other subjects. He is obedient and loyal. There were still no relapses with him."

"Do you believe his DNA would be the right one?"

"Hard to say as we have not yet seen him in action. If it's not his DNA we still have Timor, Kyle, Noah, Sev, Sdel and Shakiria."

"Please do not forget, these things, these subjects only serve us in creating a new species. Nothing else. Forget about the names that have been given to them by the people. They are only numbers. You should not develop compassion for them."

"Never Sir, I have understood."

"For subject 4021XY, take a blood sample and give him the headset. He should carry out our direct orders on the spot."

"Is that even safe? What if something goes wrong, sir?"

"If 4021XY fails or we lose control, Sergeant Major Pohl will eliminate him. He is our best sniper. He never missed his target."

"Got it sir."

"Oh and doctor, give subject 4021XY an increased dose."

The general disappeared and Carol went to the subject 4021XY.

"Dr. Witta, you won't believe how well Akira performed. Record Time!"

"His name is 4021 XY, private O'Hara!"

"I'm sorry doctor."

"4021XY, I'm going to take some blood, keep still."

"Roger that."

"What happened to your eye?"

"With my eye, doctor?"

"Yes, where does this scar come from?"

"I was given command to fight against Sev."

"Sev?"

"Yes, he gave me this scar."

"What is with Sev, is he still alive?"

"I think so, I was able to injure him severly in the fight."

"Uh, I understand," Dr. Witta said.

She held her hands in front of her face.

"I am going to ask you some questions."

"Roger that."

"Did you have difficulties in the target practice?"

"No, it was very easy for me. We have trained for it after all."

"Here is a personal question. Did you have problems fighting against and hurting Sev?"

"No, I followed my orders."

"Okay, I'll give you another dose. You're going straight to a mission to expel the invaders. Private O'Hara will instruct you. He is waiting for you behind the door up ahead."

"All right, good bye doctor."

"Good luck and come back alive."

Akira turned away from her and disappeared behind the door.

"Hello, we discovered a pack of invaders in a park. Your mission is to eliminate all of them as quietly as possible. Therefor we provide you a sword. It consists of the metal of the invaders. You should be easily able to penetrate their armor. In addition you will also receive armor which protects you and won't let you stand out. If people see you, they are not allowed to know about us. All of this is top secret."

"Alright private O'Hara."

"We will drive you to the park. You will get your instructions from us via the headset. Obey all instructions."

"Understood, private O'Hara."

Both boarded an inconspicuous truck and Akira got blindfolded.

After driving for about half an hour they arrived at the park.

"4021XY, test. Test. Do you hear me?"

"Yes Sir."

"We both know how well you can handle the sword. Use it to get those bastards. They must be somewhere in the park. You are on your own from now on. Report when you have completed your mission. Oh, and keep them from firing their weapons. Others could hear it."

"Got it," Akira said and got out of the truck.

The sun intensely shone him in the face. So intense, he had to raise his hand up to protect his eyes.

It was a beautiful park in which he stood. Everywhere were shrubs and flowers and nowhere was rubbish. Strangely, the park was deserted. For the first time Akira was able to look at nature. He could perceive thousands of different scents. He enjoyed the fresh air. He felt the warm and soft ground under his feet.

"Akira do not stand around in the sun!" private O'Hara yelled into his ears.

"I'm sorry. I'm on my way looking for them, sir."

Akira sniffed around the area and he perceived the Lupains. There were four of them.

He followed the scent, trying to remain unnoticed.

He finally found three of them.

One of them was a silver-gray Lupain who stood slightly offside.

The other Lupains were gray and brown and talked to each other in their language.

He sneaked up behind the gray one and ran the sword in his back.

Then he rammed his sword into the belly of the next one and held his snout closed so he wouldn't be able to scream.

The silver Lupain noticed the moving shadows. As suddenly two of the shadows slumped to the ground, he turned around.

Before the Lupain could call for help, Akira pierced his through the neck.

The Lupain fell, bleeding and gasping for breath, on the floor.

Akira noticed steps. 'Is it O'Hara or the last invader?' He thought.

Akira hid in some bushes. Once he saw a black Lupain, he jumped out of the bushes, sword raised and struck.

The Lupain stared at him and spoke. But Akira could not understand him.

Only after he lowered this head and died Akira pulled his sword out of him

A little bit unsure Akira spoke "Mission completed."

"All right, well done Akira. Wait for me there."

"Got it." Akira said and sat down.

He took a towel from his pocket and a cleaned his sword.

"Akira, get up!" O'Hara said, patting Akira on his shoulders.

"Good job, really good job." Praised O'Hara.

"I only carried out my orders, sir."

"Help me and the other soldiers to get the corpses in the truck."

After all dead Lupains have been carried into the truck, the blood stains were removed from the grass.

Akira and the other soldiers left the park. Again, Akira got blindfolded.

"You're a real badass, Akira!" shouted a soldier.

"Four new guns and ammunition. The General will be pleased."

"Thank you, but I am called 4021XY."

"While you are traveling with us, your name is Akira. This is considerably shorter and can be remembered well. But nothing of this to the General, got it Akira?"

"Yes, sir private O'Hara."

"See it this way. As long as your headset is switched on you're 4021XY and when it is switched off you're Akira. It is practically your codename. Our conversations are recorded."

"Got it, sir."

Once the truck arrived at the military base, Dr. Witta rushed towards the squad.

"I need to talk to Akira immediately!" She said.

"All right doctor! Akira follow her."

"Yes, sir."

They went to a conference room and closed the door.

"Akira, ... subject 4021XY."

"Yes, Dr. Witta?"

"What are you feeling right now?"

"I feel nothing Dr. Witta."

"You are full of blood. Does it not bother you?"

"No, Dr. Witta?"

"You just killed invaders, have you felt anything?"

"No, Dr. Witta. These invaders are the enemies of humankind and thus my enemies."

"Did you know that Sev had an emergency surgery? He almost died."

"No, I'm sorry for him. However, I was only following orders."

"Okay, I understand. <thank you for your attention, you can go back."

Akira stood up and went through the door. "Memo to myself, I've created a monster."

3 months later

"4021XY and other subjects have been able to kill hundreds of Lupains. 4021XY is loyal, he even almost killed subject 4018XY three months ago. Only because two Marines have allowed themselves some fun and wanted to see the two fight. Is that enough for you, General?"

"Dr. Witta, the incident with 4021XY and 4018XY had consequences for the two Marines. We both know that was just the beginning. What we are creating with 4021XY's DNA will destroy the Lupains. We will reclaim our planet and our home!"

"You only want revenge and only because it relates to your family."

"Dr. Witta who do you think you are? This is war. We have lost the war. Be glad you are that useful to us. Otherwise, I'd have you executed!"

Dr. Witta rushed out of general Myers office.

"And another thing. 4021XY has lost importance for us. You should say goodbye. You have one hour."

"What do you mean, Myers?"

"We have what we wanted. He is too dangerous for us. He knows the facility and the staff. I have ordered Pohl to shoot him after he has fulfilled his final mission."

"You cannot do that. He has killed so many of his species!"

"With his DNA we're going to kill everyone on this planet."

"You're sick!"

"Carol, why do you think you work here? This was the plan from the beginning."

"A lot has changed," she said, and ran out of the office.

"She will come back!" General Myers snapped.

"Here you are Sergeant Major Pohl, I made you a coffee. It's a long day, go ahead and drink it."

"Hi, this is kind of you Lady, I wanted to buy one."

"Then I came here at just the right moment. What is your mission?"

"Well actually, it is top secret but I think can make an exception for such a kind scientist. We have learned from our spies that the Lupains are planning a food transport."

"Food transport?"

"4021XY does not know that there is only food. We told him it is an arms shipment so he should not get suspicious."

"Won't he smell the food?"

"Glad you ask. We've made sure that the boxes are sealed airtight. We also told him that in some boxes food is stored." he said and drank the coffee.

"I Understand. I wish you much success. I have to go now, bye." she said, biting her lip.

"Goodbye Lady." Pohl said.

Carol ran to Akira.

"Can I get my dose doctor, I didn't have one for a longer time."

"No, you do not need one." She said and hugged Akira.

"4021XY we have to leave, O'Hara is waiting." Pohl said.

Akira climbed into the truck and got blindfolded.

"Akira, your mission is to eliminate an arms transporter together with the crew. We need no witnesses. There is food stored in the transporter. Do not let this irritate you."

"How do I stop the transporter?"

"Here's an RPG-7. This weapon comes from another country. The invaders are not allowed to learn of our existence under any circumstances."

"Got it."

The truck stopped.

"Here, take the anti-tank and wait for the transporter. Do not forget, you only got one shot."

Akira took the RPG-7 and waited for the transporter. Behind him, the truck drove away.

"Hey, O'Hara? What's going on?"

"O'Hara ???" he shouted into his headset.

A strange sound came nearer and nearer.

'Is that the transporter?' Akira thought and got ready.

"Yes, it is," Akira said quietly and shot.

He hit the transporter at the left side. It drove past Akira and fell sideways.

Akira fell to the ground, his ears ringing.

Suddenly two Lupains, with arms in their hands, limped out of the transporter.

They fell to the ground and appeared to be slightly injured. They had difficulties getting up.

Akira grabbed his sword and killed both.

Then Akira ran cautious and slightly staggered to the transporter and entered it.

Since the transporter was laying askew to the street, he had problems to move forward.

He saw a Lupain. This one also appeared to be injured. "The driver," Akira stammered.

He held his sword over the head of the driver and wanted to strike but he could not.

'That smell. I know this invader. I ... I cannot kill him,' thought Akira.

He got a bad headache and ran out of the van to get some fresh air.

"Is everything okay Akira? Are the Lupains dead?"

"Lupains? What are Lupains? I thought they are invaders?"

"I'm sorry, I tripped over my tongue. Are the invaders of the transporter dead?"

"Yes, they are dead." said Akira.

His headset received another frequency.

"Akira look in the boxes. Akira they lied to you. There are no invaders, that are Lupains and you are also one. There are also no weapons. Akira you are in danger, run away!" cried a distorted voice.

The contact terminated.

"Who was that?" Akira asked.

"It was just a disturbance frequency, just forget it."

But Akira was too curious, he ran back into the transporter.

"Don't go in there. Akira come back here. That's an order!"

"I'm sorry I do not u ... nderstand you. Interfering fre ... quencies." he said, putting his headset aside.

"A Lupain? What is that? That voice, she said there are no invaders, only Lupains."

Akira smashed all crates with his sword. Hundreds of tomatoes, oranges, bananas and other fruits fell to the ground. He picked up a tomato and took his headset.

"O'Hara, where are the weapons? Where?" he asked, holding the tomato upward.

Suddenly it hissed through the air and Akira felt a sharp pain over the hip.

He touched where the pain came from and noticed a strong bleeding.

He was hit by a bullet. A second hiss struck next to Akira.

He could see that Sergeant Major Pohl tried to kill him.

"I'm sorry Akira, you'll never be one of us. You are only a goddamn alien, a Lupain. O'Hara end."

'I should be a Lupain? ME? An invader?'

"Akira, die you monster," cried Pohl.

"What is this, why did you shoot at me." Asked Akira.

Again, it hissed several times but this time, Pohl missed several times.

While Pohl tried reloading, Akira sought cover.

In pain he wondered: 'Who warned me? Why is Pohl shooting at me? Why do they call these invaders Lupains which is what I am also called. Why has O'Hara gone away? Why can't I find the weapons and who is this invader?'

"Come out you coward," Pohl screamed repeatedly. He hardly seemed to be able to stand up straight.

'I cannot run fast, he will catch me when I run away. I have to catch him first. He seems to be dazed,' Akira thought.

Akira ran to a killed Lupain and took cover behind his body.

Pohl shot at Akira like a madman. Him however, picked up the machine gun from the Lupain and aimed at Pohl.

He was breathing more slowly and his hands trembled.

Pohl had Akira in the crosshairs and was close to pulling the trigger.

But Akira was faster. He hit the dazed Pohl who fell several meters.

As Akira lost more and more blood he wanted to escape with the Lupain from the transporter.

But the truck returned. Now also private O'Hara shot at Akira.

"You bastard, now you're going to die!" He shouted.

But Akira ran as fast as he could in a side street. Private O'Hara and his men lost Akira's track.

The area was totally run down, everything was dirty and impoverished.

No normal person would voluntarily like to live there.

He ran and ran. A group of humans met him and some ran away screaming while others threw stones at Akira.

Only one of these humans was staring at Akira. He stopped in front of him.

"Can you help me, please!" stammered Akira.

The human ran to Akira and grabbed him by the arm. "In my apartment you're safe," the human said.
