Kotomi Ikuta

Prototype #2 = Experiment: Multi link/Resurrection

Before we started doing anything crazy with the remaining Council Members, we tested the process of resurrection on Kotomi to ensure that we would be able to do it on everyone, and that the procedure we created was in fact, what brought back Soshun.

First off, we added the same chemicals that destroy decomposing bacteria and enzymes; that we pinpointed as the starting point for the process. removed the bullet that killed her, and repaired the damaged brain tissue with newly grown tissue. We made some sort of minor error in this process, which we would realize later on once she woke up; as an amnesiac. After we added new tissues to her vital organs, and the final enzymes and chemicals of the process, we were about done with what was, hopefully, the correct procedure.

Once we had injected the neurotransmitters into her brain, and electrically shocked it to start her brain function and memory, Junko quickly decided to do a few extra modifications before Kotomi woke up. (By this point, Kotomi had a pulse and was confirmed alive.) She attached 3 large wires to the base of Kotomi's spine. The larger, middle wire is a regular conductive wire, while the 2 smaller ones wrapped around it actually have nerves and muscle tissue strung through them, to create a tail- like appendage for potential future experiment on the subject. Since we've got the wire attached to her spine, we've given Kotomi a variety of elemental abilities. First, we've added a special muscle at the base of her tail. The muscle not only allows easier control, but is full of electrolytes, giving it immense electrical capability.

The next element we added was fire. The other two experiments with fire capability can breathe it, while Kotomi has pyrokinetic abilities in her right hand. To give her these abilities, chemicals that increased the heat resistance of her cells and enzymes were injected. Then, special heat-creating enzymes were added to her right hand, and a chemical that causes the hand to secrete a flammable substance on command. The fire capabilities give her hand an unnatural orangeish color. The third element we added was ice, to her left hand. This was a tricky part to figure out. We injected chemical that do basically the opposite of what the fire chemicals do. The cells and enzymes in her left hand are extremely cold resistant. Because of this, we were able to inject liquid nitrogen into the hand. The cold temperature didn't give Kotomi any sort of frostbite, but it did turn her hand a pale blue.

Now that there are three more elemental links in the lab (subjects 40, 46 and 49), Junko decided to once again add on to Kotomi's abilities. First off, we added the poison link. Instead of a mass of spines, she has claws that contain a deadly toxin. The antivenom to the poison was added to her own cells, so she is immune to the toxins. The muscles and bone around the nails were also modified so the claws are also retractable. Next was the water link. Since she already has ice and fire, we decided to add the hydro-kinetic ability to both hands. Chemicals added to the wrists give the tissues in those areas the same water-attracting properties as Kurosaki's cells, and can create steam and ice spikes when combined with her fire and ice powers. The final addition was the sound link. The additions for the sound link were easy since they were on the face and neck, not interfering with the existing elements. The left eye was gouged out and replaced with a auditory sensor that "sees" objects based on how sounds bounce off of them, similar to echolocation. A piece was placed on the neck and interconnected with the vocal cords. It is similar to a speaker, and allows the voice a greater range of volume and frequency.
