Crimson Blood

I slowly come to, in a dark room.

Blood covered the floor and walls.

I try to move, but I'm strapped to a chair.

Somehow, my right arm is back.

A man walks over to me. "Well, well, well. It seems like you've woken. You must be wondering where you are? This is a facility that I use for my pleasure."

I glare at the man. "What're you gonna do to me?" The man walks over to a table with sharp tools. "I'm gonna test something. You seem to have already noticed your arm."

I look down at my arm, the last thing I remember, is it being slashed off. "You have a unique ability. You have a regeneration factor, which I want. I'm not going to let you leave this place, without what I want." He brings over a massive pair of shears. "Let's have some fun, shall we?" I struggle to escape, as he snips off my fingers. Blood spills out on the floor, pain shoots up my arms. "Hey, hey, hey, I can't have you passing out on me." He stabs the shears into my right leg. He comes back with a bone saw. "You see... The more your regeneration develops, the stronger I'll be, once I take it." He starts sawing my left arm. Blood spills out everywhere. He walks back to his table and brings over a syringe. "This is what I need to take your regeneration." He motioned the syringe towards my eye. I struggled, I kicked, but nothing I did was strong enough to break the straps. Someone bursts through the wall, as the man drops the syringe on the ground. The person who had broken in, looked to be another CPU. She had light purple hair, butterfly pattern light particle wings, and was wearing an outfit that just screamed dominatrix. She cracked her whip-sword. "Aw, now isn't this a nice sight. I would join in too, but I'm on duty, today." The man threw a hatchet at her, which she dodged, causing the hatchet to hit the computer behind her. The straps unlock, and I pull myself off the chair. My limbs seem to be intact, with no injuries present. I grab my IPod Touch, which was smashed. "Damn it!" A knife flies past me, slightly cutting my arm. Blood drips off my fingertips. The CPU slashed the man's head off. The man exploded into smoke, and running echoed throughout the facility. The CPU ran out of the room, and headed towards the staircase. My blood stopped flowing, and contorted. It reversed, and solidified. I raise up my arm, as the blood spiraled around it.

The roof door bursts open, and the man ran across the roof, the CPU had followed him.

I walk out onto the roof, and raised my arm, launching off multiple shards of blood. The man deflected them with his knives. He then split into three, and launched off a barrage of knives. I created a massive blood shield and blocked the knives. The man turned around and pulled out 10 knives in each hand. He threw them over the edge of the building. Metallic flapping echoed throughout the facility, and a massive Knife Dragon appeared. The man jumped onto it, and turned back to me. "The name's Ace, don't forget it." With that, he took off into the moonlight. I drop to the ground, exhausted. "That's not the homecoming I wanted." The CPU walked over to me. "So, I guess you're Dorian?" I nod. "Yeah... And... you are?" The CPU smiles. "I'm Iris Heart. I'm supposed to take you back to the basilicom, now." Iris Heart grabs me by the arms and takes off into the air. "Whoa! Careful! My arms will rip." Iris Heart glances down at me. "Oh? That's sounds like fun." Why do I feel scared around her...?

(Back at Planeptune)

I meet up with Neptune after Iris Heart dropped me off. Neptune was playing games, as usual... "So, what did I miss, while I was gone?" Neptune continues playing her game. "Just some fighting, and fan service." I nod and head into my room. "Welp, not much to do now." I lay down on my bed. "Time for sleep."

(The next day)

I wake up to the sound of arguing... My favourite!

Outside on the balcony, Neptune was arguing with someone new...

The newcomer had raven-black hair put in twin tails, was wearing a black cosplay looking outfit, and seemed to be a Tsundere. Fun! "Hey, so. Who's the Tsun?"

Neptune turns to me, the other one, doesn't seem impressed. "Oh hey, Dorian. This is Noire. As you can probably tell, she has no friends." Noire turns to Neptune. "H-Hey, don't say that!" I smile, mostly out of pity. "Nice to meet you, Noire." Noire blushed and looks away. I turn back to Neptune. "So, where's the CPU from last night?" Neptune points over to the couch. I see a girl who has light purple hair, wearing a light blue dress, and seems very tired... "That's Plutia, she's been sleeping there since last night."

I turn back to Neptune. "Well, I'm going to try to fix my IPod Touch. Does Nepgear have any metal I can use?" Neptune thinks about this. "I'll ask her, when I see her." I wave goodbye, and head back into my room. "Now, to figure out how this works." I cut my finger and let the blood drip into a container. My door opens, and Draq comes in. "Wow, so is privacy not a virtue here, either?!" Draq looks at the container. "Is that... your blood?" I nod. "Yeah, I unlocked some sort of power last night. It had to do with my blood solidifying." Draq nods. "Yeah, ok. Well, why don't we test it out then." I turn to Draq. "What?" Draq nods. "Let's have a duel. It would be the best way to test out your new power." I look back at the container. "Okay then, you're on!" I grab a small ring-saw from my desk and attach it to my finger. I then take my IPod Touch, which I had managed to fix the Cyber.EXE app. Sadly, the rest of its functions are lost, but this will do for now. I lock my door and follow Draq out of the basilicom.
