"Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you?" I say, filled with rage.
"Because you are a hero, and heroes don't kill. They protect," Dr. Drake says.
"Well, I am different."
Suddenly smoke pellets fill the room. Dr. Drake calls into his communicator.
"Attention, Wraith is loose! Wraith is loose! All guards report to my location!"
A bunch of armed guards enter the room. I prepare to face them.
Suddenly I feel a surge of energy filling my body. I can feel the energy of the light in the room. I close my eyes and the lights turn off.
"What the hell happened?" One guard asks.
"Who turned the lights off?" Another guard asks.
My eyes start glowing and I could see in the dark. I think about what to do next.
"Okay, there are 20 armed guards. I will have to act quickly. I will disarm all of them at super speed. Then I will knock them all unconscious."
I run at super speed and grab all of their guns and destroy them. Then I run back and knock all of them unconscious.
"Well that was easy," I think.
I run out of the room. I look all over the facility for Amanda's body. Finally I come across a room full of water tank tubes. I spot Amanda in one of them. I punch a hole through the tube, causing the water to come out. I check her body for a pulse but I don't get anything.
"I-I-I am sorry Mom!" I could barely say.
However, an Idea suddenly hits me. I spot a room full of body bags. I place her body into one of the bags and I run to the computer room and search up information about her. I find out her home address.
"Bingo!" I say to myself.
I start to leave, but I spot a room with an open door. Something compels me to enter. I look around the room and see body bags. I open one of the body bags and finds the rotten corpse of an alien.
"Oh my God!"
I hear a gun clicking behind me. I look behind me and see Dr. Drake standing at the doorway.
"What the hell have you done?" I say, trying to contain my rage.
"This was always part of the mission James. You have no idea how many aliens we had to go through to get to the perfect one. You," Dr. Drake says.
"You're a monster! You're a psychopath! You captured innocent aliens and tried to experiment on them! But when they didn't impress you, you disposed of them!"
"You really are smart James. It's a shame really. You could have been my greatest weapon against terrorism."
"There are other ways to combat terrorism. But you won't live to see it."
"Where are you going to go James? They will never accept you? You're just a freak!"
"That's not the way I see it!" I say.
I run at Dr. Drake and knock him down. Then I run into a room. I spot a machine that is glowing.
"So this is what is powering the whole entire facility?"
I charge up my hand and I blast a laser from my hand. The laser hits the plant, destroying it. Suddenly, a voice comes over the speaker.
"Red alert! Red alert! Countdown to self-destruction activated! T-minus 5 minutes. I run as fast as I can out of the facility. I manage to escape just as the timer went off. I watch the explosion from the trees.
"Well, that's the end of that."
I look at myself and realize that I am naked.
"Oh no!"
Suddenly clothes morph onto my body. I find myself wearing a red shirt and jeans.
"Oh well then."
For some reason, I don't feel cold. I guess my physiology prevents me from feeling cold. I run off to pay a visit to someone.
