Changed: Deep

Chapter 33: Prototype Enhanced

[Prima's Pov]

"That was a good fight, brother. You're still as ferocious like the day I had to battle you in the deep laboratories." I chuckled as I approach my red sword stuck on the ground. "I can say the same to you. I like your idea of channeling your skills and abilities to something entirely different from our predatory instincts. A Primagen, holding a sword? Fascinating it is-" The Protogen got cut off as I reached out my right paw to hold the hilt of my blade. I looked to my left, only to see the Protogen flying towards me as if it's hit by a force.

I instead caught Scott within my arms rather than pulling out the blade. I underestimated the momentum of Scott, and I was flown along with him. I noticed a figure charging at us as we're flown in the air. Everything is happening too fast. I realized that the figure is the Prototype, and he has my sword on his left paw with the blade down. The holographic fur of the Prototype is colored yellow, along with his eyes. I quickly pushed Scott off of me and watched the movements of the Prototype closely. The Prototype raised my red sword with his left paw and he passed it over to his right paw.

The Prototype is aiming for an upward slash. I quickly formed an cross with my arms to protect myself from the attack. The Prototype slashed my arms with my red sword, followed by the hilt of the sword being jabbed on my wounded arms. I flinched in response and I came crashing down on the floor of sand. I used my tail to hop myself from the floor of sands, and I landed on the floor on my two hind legs. What's going on with the Prototype? Did a virus got into it's software? Did Malware survived?

Regaining my focus, I noticed the Prototype holding the Muramasa with both of his paws, preparing for a downward slash. I need my sword back to put the Prototype down. My sword is too dangerous to be at the wrong paws. The blade came slashing down on me, and I caught it with both of my paws. "You have been using the sword wrong, Prima. Let me demonstrate in return for your right arm." I noticed the holographic fur of the Prototype turned red, and his eyes are glowing red.

Red blood trickles down from my wounded paws and arms, covering the already red blade of my sword with my own blood as I struggle to grip on the blade. I have to keep hold on the blade or else he will slash through my abdomen. The motion of the blade switches from a downward force to a forward thrust. Now he is aiming for my metal chest! Unable to maintain my grip on the blade, the blade slipped through my bloody paws. I quickly shoved it to the right with my remaining energy, and the forward thrust missed my body.

"Now for the final part! Too bad I don't have your special scabbard. I could have cut you in half by now. Watch closely!" I'm exhausted and in agony. I can't react fast enough for his next move. My paws are burning and stinging in pain. A Primagen defeated by a gardening robot? I didn't know this will happen. The Prototype immediately did an upward diagonal slash to my left on my arms. I flinched in response to the pain, raising my arms in panic.

I see the Prototype smirk at me as he held my Muramasa with both of his paws with the blade aiming at my right bleeding arm. "This is how you end a battle, Prima." The red blade of my sword began to glow followed by sparks of electricity appearing around it. "Red latex not coming off from it's host? That's alright, it needs the high frequency!" With a quick downward slash of the Muramasa, I felt the blade slice through my right arm. I see my severed right arm fly from my body, and the Prototype passed the red blade from his right paw to his left to hold with the blade facing downward.

The Prototype held my severed right arm with his right paw, and I felt my red blood gush out from my severed limb. I kneel on my hind legs as I held my right bleeding limb with my left paw. I can hear my heart beat through my chest as I see my vision darken from the pain. I heard a chuckle from the Prototype, and I looked up at it. "I hope you won't forget what I taught you today. Thank you for the right arm." The Prototype stuck my Muramasa on the floor of sand before turning around to run back to the Tower.

I can't feel my arm. "Prima!" I noticed a figure running towards me, and the figure held me close with his arms. A Protogen, Scott. "Are you alright? We need to get you patched up by Colin. Hopefully we can get your latex to heal and grow back your right arm." I tried standing up, and I struggled to keep myself up. "Take my scabbard and... Place the Muramasa back into it."

"I fed you the data Doctor K's USB has which contains the OS Software External Drive Enhancer program, and you enhanced my software in return for gathering data regarding how I am made and engineered. Are those enough to satisfy you?" I slowly opened my eyes, awakened by the voice of the Prototype talking to someone. I felt my arms bound by something to the chair I am sitting on. I looked down and I noticed a rope wrapped around me. I looked around and I see the Prototype standing by the computer console. I noticed the right arm of the Prototype covered by a red latex.

"Those are enough? You need a help with something located deeper within the laboratories? I will do my best to retrieve the specimen. It will be easier with the special red latex."
