For a while, after Soldier 76 stepped into the blue light, all he could see was darkness. He wondered to himself whether or not he preferred this to life and found that he did. He tapped the dark ground at his feet; solid. He looked behind him and saw a faint blue glow, the remnants of the portal he came through. He stared into the darkness and enjoyed it.


But the quiet wouldn't last for long, he could already sense that. And of course, he was right.


The voice was commanding, persuasive and driven. He couldn't see the thing producing the voice, be he doubted that mattered. The voice spoke in the darkness for a long time, what felt like hours, and Soldier agreed with every word of it. Only when the voice paused did he realize that the voice wasn't really there at all, but that didn't matter either.


After a while, the voice said that the procedure was over and that he could open his eyes. He didn't understand but he did do what the voice asked and opened his eyes.


The darkness and the blue portal remnant were just figments of his imagination, but the voice and the things it said were not. The things the voice did to his body were real too. He sat up on the operation table and looked at the voice.


It was in shadows, but he could see it was a female, wearing heels and dark skinned. He looked beside her and saw a cyborg looking female who up to that point had said nothing. He looked down at himself and saw similar cybernetic enhancements on himself. He nodded, feeling the improvement.


"So, Soldier 76. Will you join us?" the voice asked.


"Yes," he said, "But don't call me that. I'm a new man thanks to you I'll have a new name."


"Alright then," the voice said with a touch of amusement, "What will you be called?"


"Call me Soldier 706, because I've got nothing."


"We'll have to work on that," the voice said. "Come along now, there's work to be done."


"Of course... It takes a lot of manpower to destroy the universe after all," Solder 706 said as he got up off the operation table.


The three of them walked down the hall. Soldier 706 was grinning, thinking about what the voice told him. The tall cyborg walked along showing no emotion but seething with anger on the inside.


And the body of the voice went down the hall with determined eyes, ready to kill reality.
