The noise of a faint phone vibration can be heard on the bed with the sound of something creaking. Footsteps approach and a door opens.

*gasp* "No no no....what did you do? I'm sorry! I'm so sorry" *fades to black*

The weak sound of an alarm goes off and eyes slowly open as a bright light fills the room.

A soldier then starts rolling something in the room with a scientist.
"Hello Zak, ready for our last test day?"

Zak sits up and looks at soldier then at her
"As ready as I'll ever be"

She then grabs a scalpel and walks up to Zak and grabs one of his arms
"You let me know if anything hurts ok?"

Zak lifts his sleeve of the jacket
"I will, just just get it over with yeah?"

She proceeds to cut a line from his inner elbow down to his wrist

Zak grunts a little bit
"Bigger than last time isn't it? Why do you have to do it bigger than the others?"

She grabs a notepad and watches his arm
"For science, you should know this by now."

Zak looks at the soldier then back at his arm
"But still, at least take it easy I'm still human-"

She looks up at Zak
"For the most part you are"
She then looks back at his arm

Zaks arm then starts to heal where his arm was cut open
"Your regeneration seems to be getting quicker" She says

"Maybe I'm used to it happening?" Zak says

The soldier brings the rolling table to them and she puts the scalpel on the rolling table
"You know what maybe you are." She says

An hour passes as they ran more tests

"Alright, we have one more thing to do and we will be done. Oh I almost forgot to mention we want to run a project where you will meet others." she says

Zak gets up and looks at all the tools then at the soldier
"Others? There are others like me?"

She starts setting up the last test
"Well, not like you but others who have been reborn here like you, gifted actually."

Zak looks at her
"What are you making, also when will I meet them?"

As she finishes setting up what seems to be a big gun she turns at him
"Soon enough, now go stand over there if you please."

Zak goes to the side she said and stands there looking at her
"What if this hurts? We haven't done anything like this before."

"Zak, I'm your creator. I would never wish to harm you as bad as a heartless person would"
She aims the gun at him steadily
"Now stand still please"

She takes a deep breath as Zak braces himself, she pulls the trigger and the gun released flames and hit his face

As the flames hit his face he grabs one side and falls to the floor releasing a fearful scream
