Subject 20-B looked at subject 16-B when he left and let the others wait for him at the training room. "Well I am in the mood for some training." subject 20-B said and he started to smile. "Now let's all enter and look how the training simulation is formed in here." subject 20-B pulled the other mutants with him inside of the simulation. "I will do an easy test because it's your first time." subject 20-B said while controlling the difficulty of the chamber with a panel next to the door and after he had done that he also entered the simulation room. Once he stood in it the room changed into what looked like a place on earth. It was getting dark and there were no signs of enemy's yet but then suddenly something dug from under the ground and tried to grab subject 20-B's foot. Subject 20-B could jump before this happened but once he jumped an army of enemy mutants started to drop down from the sky. "It looks like they got here by plane." subject 20-B said jokingly while he watched the mutants slowly fall down. "Now let's get the party started." he shouted while he changed into a falcon and while he did this he attacked a few mutants who were still in mid air.


Subject 19 teleported back next to subject 12 after a few minutes. He looked around and saw that his plan was successful. "It seems like subject 21 really took the bait..." subject 19 said while he walked to a door which seemed to be closed.”Subject 20 are you still there?" subject 19 said. "Yes I am." subject 20 said which was very strange because the power was still out. "Please open this door for me." Subject 19 said. "Like you wish." subject 20 said and a moment later the door opened. Subject 19 now turned around and looked at subject 12 who was standing in the shadows of the room. "Please follow me subject 12... I am going to make you stronger then you are now." Subject 19 said before he walked into a very dark room with in the middle a single light shining on a prison where a strange looking person sat in.

Subject 12 stood in the darkened room, looking around as his eyes adjusted to the shadows. The power had gone out and he knew exactly what -- rather who -- had caused it; Subject 21. After a few minutes of standing alone in the room, Subject 19 appeared once again, causing 12 to spin around and face the mutant. "It seems like Subject 21 really took the bait..." Subject 19 said mainly to himself, ignoring 12 completely as he scoured the room. On the bright side, at least 12's accusations were correct. Subject 12 opened his mouth to say something but the other mutant just walked away and over to a closed door. He closed his mouth, sighing irritably and slumping his shoulders in both annoyance and disappointment. Overly dramatized and childish were two words which could easily describe Subject 12's attitude, he really was like a spoilt brat who wasn't getting what he wanted sometimes. ”Subject 20 are you still there?" Subject 19 spoke out, asking for a response from the other computerized mutant. Subject 12 merely rolled his eyes, knowing full well that she wouldn't be there if Subject 21 had anything to do with it, which he did. "Yes I am." The reply came completely by surprise and Subject 12 blinked dumbly for a few seconds, squinting and looking around the room to try and comprehend how she was still there. "Please open this door for me." Subject 19 instructed the other who compelled without a single argument, opening the door right in front of Subject 19.

Subject 12 wandered forward a few steps, leaning to the side and curiously looking past the other mutant to get a view of the room inside. As Subject 19 turned, 12 stood up straight and acted like he hadn't been doing anything other than standing awaiting instructions. "Please follow me Subject 12... I am going to make you stronger then you are now." Subject 19 instructed him, turning back around and walking into the room, unable to see the slightly confused face of Subject 12. He pondered the words of the other for a moment, wondering if he was telling the truth or perhaps Subject 19 had something much more dark and sinister planned for 12. Perhaps he was going to take revenge of even kill him and all because he once helped Subject 21. Subject 12 quickly banished the thoughts from his head and strode -- with a puffed out chest and a straight back -- into the room. Upon seeing what the room concealed, Subject 12 froze on the spot, staring wide eyed at a strange looking person inside a cell with a spot light on them. "What type of trick is this Subject 19?!" 12 shouted out in an answer demanding tone, acting as a cover up to hide both fear and confusion in his voice.

---

Straightening himself up, Subject 16-B faced forward once again as he was addressed by his master. "16-B I want to tell you what happened, I hacked 19's data base as he gave me a link by destroying my assault with a AI called 20 that I quickly overpowered she attacked again I dismissed the attack, 19 is acting to care about Marcio or 12 as his number is. 20 as she shut down all the systems I controlled and were now in a a matter of time as soon as she restarts I win and she can't wait fore ever counting on the fact she has to have enormous problems by now thinking of the reactors being useless." Though 16 quickly became lost, he listened intently, running over each word of his master so he could register it. However he could find no order in such words and thus continued to listen without interrupting. Subject 16-B stepped forward as a hologram of Subject 21 appeared, along with a strange looking cube. "This is one of my projects is contains a Virtual intelligence capable of caring for it's self but more important is the function. This box's contains the core DNA code that causes mutants to drain power from 19 and also a micro sized storage of every mutant expect the ones of 19 and himself of course but still many of his minions are included. I want you to lead the elite team to close contact with 19 and then letting this make contact with his skin or power it will cause effect of him draining his own power to the infinity making him like a circle of power and largely harmless but still immortal as that isn't his power but instead a effect of the power. This box's was hard to make but I will be able to talk to you through it and assist you."

Making many mental notes, Subject 16-B nodded, understanding what was asked of him as he held out both of his hands to take the cube. Slowly Subject 21 placed the cube in his hands and 16 regarded it with a small glance before looking back up to his master's hologram. "This will of course only happen a bit later when 19 attacks and this will ask much trust of you as this box's is powerful enough to leech powers out of 19 leading to power madness." Subject 21 told him, 16 replying with a small nod and the words "I understand." before bowing and turning around to leave. "16" Subject 16-B glanced over his shoulder once again. "Also you may want to be ready for a end of all live after the box's makes contact with 19 as a second big bang is a possibility with a change but after this everything can be right." Though the concept was frightening -- possibly even life threatening -- Subject 16-B nodded and smiled to Subject 21 in a reassuring manner to tell him that he would get it done. He watched as Subject 21 picked up a notebook, handing it to 16 who took it and tucked it under his arm for the time being. "Here is the new data of the day new conquered planets are half but the box's can show you everything you need the body C injections are ready they come with a variety of new improvements as immunity to almost every kind of disease and a higher resistance to anything I know even a slight power buffer to other powers it's a good jump but i think the D will be even better as I found a little drop of 0001 or 31 blood a good find if you could say it. Just arrive in the upgrade room when they say you to come in about a 12 minutes."

With the final words of Subject 21, 16 nodded to show he understood, bowing and regarding his master with a short and professional farewell before leaving the room. He tucked the cube away somewhere safe on his person and wandered along the hallways whilst reading the pages of the notebook Subject 21 had given him. It was no real problem for 16 to multi-task in such a way, however many of the other mutants had to quickly dart out the way when they saw their commanding coming down the halls, wanting anything but to bump into him.

21 to 16 leaving as a professional should do but no pride was in 21 the coldness had consumed that too. 16-B was a success but 21 calculated the loyal general would disagree with what would come sooner or later. 21 did his job always perfectly no one he met so far expect 19 could with stand his might. Not the highest developed alien civilization as they fought as the swarms of drones that grew stronger with the second as they swarmed the houses. Not gas giant's that with there gravity were shot into there star's with ease 21 was just too smart for them knowing every bit of rock and every atom in the universe a human couldn't image the pressure that he carried. The giant machines hummed as there one mind used them another planet fell under 21 powers teleporting the builder drones there. 21 was a blight sucking all live and resource out of everything even suns the universe lost more and more stars to the power thirst aimed all at one goal to kill 19. The storage's colored white glowing a thousand colors as once as they gathered the power that rose everyday as the generators and suns made more and more. 21 was not tired in body his millions limbs moved without slowing down.

He mass produced the injections quickly as his lasers cut down a infantry line. The mind went trough the data bases of mutants running a simulation and test of the time speeder on a world to see the species slowly die out one by one under the sun that was harvested dry by the metal encasing running into it's core just as most world's had these parasites in there core harvesting there power. 21 was not feeling any remorse in shooting down a innocent child or in slaughtering entire races if not enslaving them to extinction no other beings than mutant's were allowed to exist as he destroyed the perfection that was the universe as the stars went out leaving a black night sky but the core of the universe stood strong under the pressure as 21 analyzed the place were nothing was as it seemed. Constantly changing in color and brightness one moment a giant black hole the other a giant ball of pure hell fire with such warmth it burned it self to dust that then would rise again to form the most common ball of light were in the inside applied no laws and wonders played as the metal encasing made the grimness clear that even this wonder wouldn't be for the eye's to see as 21 tried to control it just as everything and he was succeeding only 19 wasn't his pawn for the rest was every one just another piece of the grand game of chess between him that was the grand master of the game and some kid that was allowed to cheat in every way he wanted to but still 21 refused to give in he would die trying or die winning.

21 finished the body that he now set up and he set his step it looked strangely with a tall length and a T shaped opening in his fairly human shaped head but lacking any kind of a face besides that set 21 out to walk overlooking the training even before it arrived with it's white color wile the opening was black. The analyses were made on the screens as 21 controlled the simple observer drone that was a advanced kind of Virtual intelligence that he used to rule on places where he wasn't needed they were a useful kind of drone.

"What type of trick is this Subject 19?!" A shout could be heard from behind subject 19. It was the voice of subject 12 who just entered the room and who saw the strange person. The reason why the person whaps looking so strange was because he was covered in blood and he was wearing a black cloak around him. Not many mutants would have been able to see this person and not die in his line of sight but because subject 19 was here the strange looking person seemed to stay calm. Just like subject 19 the person was looking trough a pair of bright red colored eyes... The eyes of a strong and insane murder... Subject 19 looked at the person before looking back at subject 12. "Don't worry" Subject 19 said while he walked a few steps to subject 12. "He won't do you anything as long as I am here." A moment after subject 19 said this, the person started a short but loud growl in the direction of subject 12 and subject 19. Subject 19 turned around to look at the person again. The impression of subject 19 didn't change. He looked as if nothing was standing there. The person stood up and did a few steps to the bars of the prison. He did this till he stood in front of them and once he actually stood in front of them he grabbed the bars and showed his head which was covered in the shadows of his cloak till now. He seemed to take a better look at the mutant which he had never seen before. His head was pale and his hair was black. As expected where there also some blood strains on his face. It didn't seem like his own blood trough. "The person you are about to meet will make you stronger." Subject 19 said without looking away from the person who now sat down again. "It is a crazy killer but he would never go against my orders because he knows what would happen then... Don't you?" the 'Don't you' was pointed at the person inside the prison and the person inside the prison immediately showed some signs of fair while he crawled back into the darkness of his prison. "I will not be happy if you try to kill this person named subject 12." Subject 19 said to the person in the prison. The person bowed inside his cell to show that he understood what subject 19 meant with that and after this he sat down. The person in the cell didn't move anymore after he sat down and subject 19 walked to subject 12 again. Once he stood next to subject 12 subject 19 slowly brought his face next to subject 12's ear. "The person that you see in this prison is my brother..." Subject 19 whispered into subject 12 ear. "He is not as strong as me but he is still stronger then every mutant you know together..." Subject 19 walked away from subject 12 after saying this heading for the door he just went trough. "But like I said he wouldn't try to kill you so there is no need to be afraid." Subject 19 said before he left the room.

Subject 12 took a few moments to glance inside the cell of whatever it was, it looked human -- mutant -- no oddities as far as he could see (but being wrapped up in that cloak concealed most of his body). The one thing which was seen clearly as they cut through the darkness, was it's eyes. Bright red in colour which were identical to the orbs of Subject 19. Though Subject 12 was unable to see it, he could clearly smell blood, most likely coming from the creature inside of that cell. Through narrowed eyes, Subject 12 stared at the being's every movement as well as trying to get a better look at him, but obviously the creature didn't want anyone to see him as he concealed himself in a cloak and shrouded himself in the darkness. Those eyes... perhaps even more terrifying and harsh than those of Subject 19. "Don't worry" 19 finally said in a normal tone, as if the creature lurking in the darkness didn't bother him in the slightest. Don't worry? Subject 12 thought sarcastically, rolling his eyes in response. "He won't do you anything as long as I am here." 19 continued as he took a few steps towards Subject 12. Oh well that's reassuring... 12 thought once again in a sarcastic tone, however he couldn't quite speak out how he really felt. Then a low growl emitted from behind the bars of the cell. Subject 12 almost flinched, not expecting it at all, however he swallowed the breath caught in his throat and joined Subject 19 looking towards the cage.

Then it moved...

It had got up and walked straight to the front of the cage, both of his hands wrapping around the bars as his face could now fully be seen. As expected, it had the remains of blood smeared upon it (probably not his own blood either), his pale skin only made the dried crimson paint stand out more. Maybe it was just the lightning, but his hair was the most darkest black Subject 12 had ever seen, even darker than the black (which had replaced the whites) of his own eyes. And once again, the thing which stood out the most... was those eyes... Burning red orbs which were intense with both hate and insanity. It took every ounce of Subject 12's courage -- and pride -- not to take a step back or perhaps even run straight back out of that room. Even he himself could not quite understand why the creature behind the bars frightened him so much, perhaps it was just those crimson orbs which stared back. "The person you are about to meet will make you stronger." Subject 19 told 12, though it did anything but reassure him.

Continuing to stare at the thing behind bars, it sat down once again in the shadows. Strangely (or perhaps not) that was the only thing which made 12 relax slightly. "It is a crazy killer but he would never go against my orders because he knows what would happen then... Don't you?" Watching the creature, it crawled back further, perhaps showing that it was scared. Subject 12 held no fear for 19 himself, however the creature behind bars was a different story (not that he could reason why). The term 'Crazy Killer' did far from help such fear. "I will not be happy if you try to kill this person named Subject 12." The bow which the thing did, at least made Subject 12 smile in reassurance as he now doubted that the creature would try to kill him. He seemed to serve Subject 19 and perhaps fear him, which was good... it meant he wouldn't go against orders... right?

Subject 19 wandered back to 12, who had not walked to the front of the cell as the other did, instead he stayed in the middle of the room, unmoving."The person that you see in this prison is my brother..." Subject 19 whispered in 12's ear, causing his eyes to widen. Subject 19 had a brother...? That could be anything but good. One Subject 19 was difficult enough to handle, if you weren't on his side anyway. "He is not as strong as me but he is still stronger then every mutant you know together..." Perhaps it was in understanding, or just randomly, but Subject 12 nodded, never taking his eyes off of the cell itself. Subject 19 then began to walk away and finally registering that he was being left alone, Subject 12 span around to face the direction 19 was walking in. "But like I said he wouldn't try to kill you so there is no need to be afraid." With his final words, he left the room, leaving Subject 12 alone -- well not quite, there was always Subject 19's brother.

The last thing Subject 12 really wanted to do was show fear so he swallowed his fear, puffed out his chest and strode calmly to the front of the cage, leaning forward and peering into the darkness. What am I supposed to say to that thing...? Subject 12 thought to himself, "Hey, i'm Subject 12," 12 called out, perhaps introducing himself to ensure that the thing knew exactly who he was (and not to kill him). "What do I call you? Subject 19.5?" 12 questioned, remembering that there was once a mutant called Subject 18 (who wasn't him) as well as Subjects 20 and 21 he knew -- or sort of knew. Finally Subject 12 took a step back and frowned to himself, putting both of his hands on his hips. "So..." he mumbled to himself, having to take a moment and think of what to say, "You're supposed to help me get stronger huh? I must warn you, i'm very strong already! I'm Death." Arrogance soon took Subject 12 over as he found the perfect chance to boast, finishing his sentence with a cocky smile. "But if you want to teach me, then let's begin huh?" Subject 12's voice had returned to normal, the cockiness leaving it.

21 observed as he did always simulation after simulation he had run in none did he win as the computer took endless very wide but then again wide was true endless was infinity but there's nothing known as infinity or eternal only incredible long 21 had long ago came to the conclusion 19 had to have a limit. 21 jumped into the simulation and set himself also in the room and he looked to the falcon then to 41 "I think we should let 20 do his hobby wile I answer your question. This machine picks up your brainwaves so I analyze and make up precisely what you can have don't ask how I analyze you your mind can't take the formula. Every wound caused is artificial so no fears for your health the way is clear for your fight now or would one of you prefer to spar with me instead? I will be gentle." 21 was totally neutral no arrogance was in his voice only the coldness of a machine.

"Well I am in the mood for some training. Now let's all enter and look how the training simulation is formed in here." 41 stood still, listening to 20. He wished to know the secrets of this room...

"I will do an easy test because it's your first time." 41 just slightly rolled his eyes. There was little that could dent the iron-hard skin of the mutant, and this one sounded condescending. He disliked condescending. "It looks like they got here by plane. Now let's get the party started." 41 just nodded as he planted himself solidly on the ground, waiting for just a second as he watched the simulator's mutant's approach. Then something else flickered into sight.

At first, the mutant was just slightly confused, but the confusion was then cleared up as the new arrival spoke. "I think we should let 20 do his hobby wile I answer your question. This machine picks up your brainwaves so I analyze and make up precisely what you can have don't ask how I analyze you your mind can't take the formula. Every wound caused is artificial so no fears for your health the way is clear for your fight now or would one of you prefer to spar with me instead? I will be gentle." It was obvious that the master had returned to explain things.

"I will fight, I think. If I am indeed to help you, then I need to practice against large groups of enemies." He nodded once, politely, to 21 before taking one step and a jump. The right leg slamming down onto the back of the nearest mutant. Iron hard skin was usually a defensive measure, but the other advantage of it was it's pure power for aggression. A normal punch hits hard, but a metal hand punching you is so much worse. That was what the simulator mutants had to deal with straight away.

One punch from 41 crumpled spines, cracked ribs, fractured skulls. He was strangely dispassionate about the fighting, calmly moving swiftly through his moves. Where did the memory of fighting come from? Beyond what he could remember. But he could feel the skill that the body knew, even if the mind did not. "How many enemies in the simulator?" He asks 20 tightly as his fist crumples the next face in. He was not squeamish about his powers, and the force behind every blow was crippling if not lethal. Of course, despite his advantages, 41 was not able to destroy the mutants as quickly as it would seem.

For they also had their own powers, none as strong as 41 in the physical side of things, but then there was little one could do with physical capabilities against the iron wall that was the newest member of 21's strike team. He was built for combat, taken for his skills at martial arts and with most weapons, brainwashed and given the power to survive virtually anything. Pain would still happen, but bullets and missiles did nothing to him, not permanently at any rate.....

21 looked to the last of the mutants being taken down by 41 as he went trough them as a razor "Well done only one remains that one is me." 21 looked to 41 "This will the ability to harm a mutant with power that goes far above every one of your abilities the target is to give me the slightest injury and you will win. Let the games begin." 21 stood still looking to 41 knowing 20 would doubt first. In less than a second was 21 in front of 41 hitting him three times with the force of three man turning both of 21 hands in sharp spikes as he could control the reality in this hologram here he was a bit like 19 in the real world. A storm of stabs came down on 41 skin but they didn't seem to make any real damage and 21 gracefully changed his hands back and made a jump into the air landing facing 41 before a rock raised came above him and crushed from above then 21 turned to 20 simply shutting down all the nerves in the body. "I think this makes clear on what power level 19 is as this would be the same as breathing for him in other words this is incredible easy for him." 21 raised the rock of 41 breaking it up in to nothign. "Continue with the normal training please another attempt can be made at request. Good work 41 good work but you lack the instinct 20 possesses more experience in battle will make up for your now very artificial way of fighting." 21 turned up the grade as a timer began to count down from 10:00 to 0 because they would lose then, large grey colored lizards on six's legs and big open mouth's came into the training room each the size of a car and counting ten of the beast before they went almost invisible only a small line of contrast was visible for the normal eye the best solution for 20 would be to adept his eye's to 21 had learned him how too survive a Q-3421 a semi invisible lizard race created by 21 too overwhelm enemies with there speed and invisibility.

The red eyes of subject 19.5 looked at the door when subject 19 left. "Was he alone?" subject 19.5 thought and he started to smile while he saw someone else being in the room. There was a moment of silence in the room before subject 12 started talking. "Hey, I'm Subject 12," subject 12 said and the smile on subject 19.5's face disappeared. "What do I call you? Subject 19.5?" subject 12 asked him but subject 19.5 didn't say anything... yet... "So... You're supposed to help me get stronger huh? I must warn you, I’m very strong already! I'm Death." Arrogance could be heard when he said this and a cocky smile could be seen but his voice and smile changed back to normal after he had told he was 'Death'. But if you want to teach me, then let's begin huh?" Subject 12 said with his normal voice. Subject 19.5 looked around, first not knowing what do to. He knew he couldn't kill this guy because if he would do so then subject 19 would become mad at him and that was for sure not something you would like to experience. Then he stood up. He slowly walked to the bars of his prison taking a better look at subject 12. Again a smile appeared on his face. Without saying anything subject 19.5 destroyed the bars trough smelting them because his hands had turned into fire. After they were destroyed subject 19.5 slowly took some steps in the direction of subject 12. "My name is subject 19.5 mister death" The voice of subject 19.5 was that of a young boy just like subject 19 but subject 19's voice was a lot calmer then the voice of subject 19.5. "So brother wants me to train you..." Subject 19.5's smile grow wither it was now almost the smile of a psygopath killing his victims. "Let the training begin." Subject 19.5 said while he put his hand on subject 12's head and suddenly the world around subject 12 and subject 19.5 transformed into that of the moon where subject 21 was.

Subject 20-B really enjoyed the training in this room. He had already defeated most of them when he saw subject 21 talking with subject 41. "What would our master do here?" Subject 20-B asked himself but he just continued training just like subject 41 seemed to do. Once every mutant was defeated subject 20-B walked to subject 41 to tell him he did a good job but then subject 21 started to talk. "Well done only one remains that one is me. This will the ability to harm a mutant with power that goes far above every one of your abilities the target is to give me the slightest injury and you will win. Let the games begin." Subject 21 said. "What!!!" Subject 20-B froze for a while thinking about this. "He couldn't attack his master but he asked him to attack him but still... Subject 20-B got confused and just when he wanted to ask subject 21 what to do subject 21 shut down the whole nerve system of subject 20-B. "I think this makes clear on what power level 19 is as this would be the same as breathing for him in other words this is incredible easy for him. Continue with the normal training please another attempt can be made at request. Good work 41 good work but you lack the instinct 20 possesses more experience in battle will make up for your now very artificial way of fighting." Subject 20-B was actually ashamed that he couldn't do anything in this kind of situation but how could he possibly try to hit his master... Then a timer started to count down and large grey colored lizards on six's legs and big open mouth's started to invade the training room. They were huge and could turn almost invisible but subject 20-B knew how he could fight them because of training from subject 21. Subject 20-B became calm for a moment breathing slowly in and out before turning into battle again. Subject 20-B's eyes changed into that of a hawk and his arms changed in that of a tiger while his nails grew even bigger than before. "Let's kill those Q-3421 lizards!" subject 20-B said with joy

Subject 12

---

Standing a mere foot away from the bars of Subject 19's brother's cell, 12 could see all what he needed, despite the concealment the shadows would give. As the mutant finished speaking, the creature from within the prison stood up, stepping forward until he was met with the iron bars trapping him inside. The creature let off a twisted smile as his hands melted the bars with no real effort at all. Subject 12 stepped back a little in order to allow the creature access to the outside world, or perhaps just being a coverup for fear. The thing took steps towards 12, closing the gap he was desperate to try and keep. "My name is subject 19.5, Mister Death" 19's brother said, his voice being similar to that of 19's himself, however this particular voice was a lot more unnerving. "P-Pleased to meet you." 12 unintentionally stumbled over the first word, cursing himself because of it. "So brother wants me to train you..." 19.5 said to himself, 12 merely nodded slightly in agreement, ensuring that 19.5 knew exactly what he was to do -- train not kill. "Let the training begin." With a psychotic smile, Subject 19.5 placed his hand upon 12's head.

The world around them began to shift and change until both of them stood -- what looked to be -- the moon. Subject 12 took a moment to look around, noting that a rather large base was also near them. He turned back to 19.5, greeting him with a confused and questioning look. "Why did you bring us here?" 12 asked, a part of him wondered if this was merely an illusion. He would soon find out, as well as an answer to his own question.

Subject 16-B

---

Closing the file and tucking it under his arm, Subject 16-B decided to return to the mutants he was showing around. The new additions to the strike team against Subject 19. He knew exactly where to find them as 20-B's obsession with training no doubt held them up where he left them. Turning the corner he arrived to the door of the training room -- rather the door next to it. It lead into the observation room, which would allow anyone who was inside to watch whatever was going on in the virtual training world. Spending so much time watching mutant's train, Subject 16-B had made a little office in the observation room, being his duty to watch and note down each mutant's abilities when 21 didn't have the chance. It was a tedious job but at least it allowed Shield to calculate the best mutants available to fight Subject 19. While Shield acted like a protection service for earth, it's true intentions were none other than fighting Subject 19, supposedly that came under 'protection of Earth'.

Subject 16-B threw the file across the control panel before sitting down and placing his head on both of his hands. He watched the screens, finding exactly what he thought to see; Subject 20-B training, obviously dragging Subject 41 along with him. 16 yawned to himself, dropping his head upon the control panel but not hitting any of the buttons. "I think we should let 20 do his hobby while I answer your question. This machine picks up your brainwaves so I analyze and make up precisely what you can have don't ask how I analyze you your mind can't take the formula. Every wound caused is artificial so no fears for your health the way is clear for your fight now or would one of you prefer to spar with me instead? I will be gentle." A familiar voice emitted itself from inside the simulation causing the mutant to raise his head sharply and stare at the monitors. Sure enough his suspicions were correct in saying that the voice belonged to none other than Subject 21 -- rather a hologram of him.

Slightly confused but also excited, Subject 16-B watched the new recruit fight it out with Subject 20-B against the mutants and creatures sent into the simulation. As they were finished, Subject 21 decided upon fighting 41 himself. Now that was something 16 didn't expect at all. He watched with an awed expression as his master would hardly ever fight with a body. Yes he would fight using various tricks and techniques, but never physically. Naturally his master won. "Continue with the normal training please another attempt can be made at request. Good work 41 good work but you lack the instinct 20 possesses more experience in battle will make up for your now very artificial way of fighting." With the final words of Subject 21, huge and semi-invisible lizards appeared to challenge the two mutants. Unsure whether or not they could both handle them, subconsciously 16 manifested his invisible knife. Though everyone else couldn't see it, he could. Perhaps with the right vision one would be able to make out it's outline, a manifestation of pure psychic energy which purpose was to harm internally and mentally -- not externally and physically.

21 shook his meters took a power usage at the level only 19 could do not the greatest but a big one, 21 looked around the universe doing a quick scan but finding nothing a superior scan of shield showed that there was someone there that didn't belong there as 21 or more two people that didn't belong there but instead of using a normal teleport there was usage of a much more higher level and a advanced hiding power as 21 couldn't locate them. Teleporting let out two points of power usage the start and the end bad teleporters let a line good only two dots the best let one dot at the start or the end this one let a power usage as small as a atom at the end but that one atom was covered in the usage of thousands of mutants making it a mess that was incredible hard to pin point. 21 took a better look at a project placing the new data in the machine teleporting it upwards to his personal chamber as he activated it. The small device not bigger than a phone opened and tripled in size letting out two long extensions that reached each other above the machine. A image began to form a image of the past 21 could see himself sitting there in the cell paranoid wishing to kill that fabled 19 that destroyed his live. The image began to blur out and soon it began to show a very different thing 21 once's own dead. 12 killed him quickly and the old him didn't fight back not a little bit knowing this was a generous dead this was one of the first times that 21 began to doubt he and that man were the same he was very different from him even just after construction. 21 looked to 31 feeling not the old warmness he once had felt only the cold logic.

Shield was a marvel that a human could never make the sheer size and construction was enormous but the beauty that all the halls and hallways formed was even more impressive but no pride 21 lacked pride that was bad he knew it was bad it would demotivate him but then again he didn't have real titivation only programmed goals made by one that couldn't have imaged the current situation maybe 21 had a error? The AI dismissed that as he would haven noticed a error. His mind was spread out so far he couldn't think of what error he could have but then he did try too. 21 said to 16-B trough the control board "Be on your guard there's something wrong I don't know what."

Subject 19.5 grabbed subjects 12 arm and dragged him with him. "Let's head to the training room." Subject 19.5 said while he started to laugh like a mass murder. After a little while walking they arrived in front of the main gate to the base. A swift move made subject 19.5 able to put his head near subject 12's ear to whisper "Do you think I should knock." and a moment later he moved back to his original position. "Let's create some panic first shall we" subject 19.5 said while he looked the giant front entrance. He let go of subject 12's arm and took a few steps to the door only to break it with the massive power of his foot. After he had broken the door by kicking it he could already see that there were some mutants getting ready to 'defend their base'. The thought only made subject 19.5 laugh "Come with me..." subject 19.5 said to subject 12 before the first group could arrive. Walking through the hallway of the base of subject 21 called shield they encountered the first line of defense. It was a small group of only 25 mutants but they were all very well trained. They were all equipped with proper armor and even some guns which seemed to be stronger than normal ones. The moment subject 19.5 and subject 12 came into their line of sight they opened fire but before the bullets could hit subject 19.5 or subject 12 they hit an almost invisible red shield. Some of the mutant started to show already signs of fair but this could also be because of the red eyes subject 19.5 had, the same red eyes then his brother had, so some of the mutants thought that it was actually subject 19 him. A smile appeared on subject 19.5's face. "I love the feeling of being faired." subject 19.5 said. "Now subject 12 I will make you stronger very soon." Subject 19.5's attention wasn't pointed at the mutants when he said this and because of that 'lower guard' they thought that they could actually defeat him. One of the mutant’s teleported next to subject 19.5 hoping he could hit him but a moment later everything went black for the poor guy whose body parts flew into all kind of directions. No one had seen what actually happened and this made the mutants even more afraid of him. "Are you making fun of me?" subject 19.5 shouted at them. "Thinking you could kill me like that." The red eyes of subject 19.5 looked angered and this was the last vision the 24 mutants saw when they dropped on the ground bleeding all over the place. Subject 19.5 went to the dead body of the mutant who was leading this small group and took a small blood sample of his blood. After he did this he moved further while giving subject 12 a sign that he had to follow him again.

21 looked to the invader knowing this wasn't 19 he was to aggressive and 12 as it seemed the power use gave 21 a clear image of both of them even with or without cloak to the point it didn't matter anymore. The group was killed but 21 didn't care it wouldn't have any effect on his numbers other than giving some machines some work again. the invader got some blood a project was unleashed from 21 deepest chambers. The man height machine had shining metal skin and a humanoid body but the head was that of lion. The creature was controlled by 21 or more the millions of things was controlled by him it walked into the long hall with great speed at the invader ignoring 12 and grabbing right trough the shield as it bend to his though without even burning a little bit. 21 was surprised it worked but it seemed the creature did his work in bending power around him instead of taking it making it theoretical immune to any power expect some larger scale planetoids explosions but this time it seemed to function perfectly. The machine closed his hands as it had to surprise the invader as it was also not visible by seer power. The two silver hands closed around the neck pushing the invader face down in to the ground eight times with more force than a elephant could ever have. The creature pulled him upwards to take a look at him wile it kept hitting him with the other hand wile the doors sealed of the hallway from the rest of the building but not after letting in a pair of drones that attacked 12. The machine said calmly from a thousand mouth's "Yes we are making fun of you double, serving a god is smart, serving a destroyer is stupid as a destroyer just keeps destroying so I assume your an idiot. Nice to see you again 12." The machine never stopped smacking wile speaking.

21 said to 16 "We have slight problem one of 19 agents and 12 have invaded shield's outer layer Project-553356 is attacking them I suggest to pull out the team now."

Subject 19.5 was talking to subject 12 when suddenly a machine with the head of a lion rushed at subject 19.5. A mile appeared on his face. "Don't worry subject 12. This lion man is as good as dead once he attacks me." Subject 19.5 then suddenly weakened the shield of his so that the lion could attack him through it. Normally no one could have seen this but because subject 12 was so close to him he could have seen that subject 19.5's arm slightly moved to the left. Now the lion head broke through it and it started to hit subject 19.5. There was no blood or even no wounds that came from subject 19.5 when the loin headed machine attacked him. The smile of subject 19.5 grew even wither. "What’s wrong weakling?" Subject 19.5 said to the machine. Then the drones started to come in attacking subject 12. But before they could even reach subject 12 they all dropped into millions of robot parts totally destroyed. "Yes we are making fun of you double, serving a god is smart, serving a destroyer is stupid as a destroyer just keeps destroying so I assume you’re an idiot. Nice to see you again 12." The loin head said while smacking subject 19.5. But suddenly subject 19.5 grabbed one of the arms of the lion head stopping the constantly hitting fists of the machine. "Don't look away from me when you are fighting me!" There was a little anger in his voice while subject 19.5 said this and a moment later the machine was sent flying to the end of the hallway destroying one of the sealed doors. "Let's go subject 12." Subject 19.5 said then with an annoyed tone. And while he said this he walked further as if nothing happened destroying every sealed door he came across.

Subject 12

---

As Subject 12 stood there wondering where exactly he was, 19.5 grabbed his arm and yanked him towards the door, breaking 12 from his unusual trance-like state. "Let's head to the training room." 19.5 as he released a psychotic laughter, one which -- if 12 didn't know him -- would send a shiver up the spines of all who heard it. This mutant was truly insane... What made 12 feel uncomfortable, was not the laughter -- but the fact that this insane creature was dragging him towards a metal building on the moon. "Do you think I should knock." Subject 19.5 whispered to 12 as they stopped in front of the huge metal door. A stale joke to say the least, one which didn't evoke a reaction from Subject 12. "Let's create some panic first shall we" Finally the mutant released 12's arm and took a step towards the iron gates which blocked off all access to the building. They were probably 10 feet easily and extremely hard to break. Well... apparently not. With little effort but a powerful kick, the door gave way allowing the two mutants to proceed. At a first look, one could clearly see a hoard of the base's inhabitants, getting read to defend their home. With no real time to question or think, Subject 12's arm was seized one again by his psychotic companion. "Come with me..." Yielding with the request of the other (not that he had much of a choice), Subject 12 allowed himself to be guided through the base.

They had not been walking for long when the first line of defense made its appearance; twenty-five reasonably strong mutants armed with advanced guns. Subject 12 immediately stopped when he noticed the weapons they wielded, he wasn't immune to bullets, a single one could badly injure him, a flurry... The sound of bullets being fired echoed around the hallways and the mutant named 12 could not bare to watch; he closed his eyes and awaited his death. After a few moments when the sound of bullets ceased but the mutant could not feel like he was even touched by one, slowly he opened his eyes to stare at the mutants at the other side of the hallway. Whilst some continued to fire (the bullets hitting a red shield in front), others backed away in fear. "I love the feeling of being feared." Subject 19.5 said as he turned his attention onto 12 and not concentrating on the mutants in front. "Now subject 12 I will make you stronger very soon." Of course the mutants saw this a chance to attack. One of them teleported right next to Subject 19.5, bringing his hand back to strike the mutant. Subject 12 opened his mouth to warn the other mutant, however it was too late. The attacking mutant suddenly burst into many parts, blood and remains of him scattering everywhere and over both of the mutants. Though it didn't scare him, Subject 12 wasn't the best acquainted with blood and he quickly shook it off as best as possible.

Naturally the actions of the group of mutants enraged the brother of God. "Are you making fun of me?" he shouted to them, causing them all to take a few steps back. "Thinking you could kill me like that." It was a strange sight to behold, but one could swear that the psychotic mutant's eyes glowed more than they already did, whatever happened -- the last remaining mutant dropped to the floor with multiple bleeding wounds. No one knew what had happened, they just seemed to become injured in a flash. Subject 12 titled his head, eying up 19.5 in both amazement and confusion. The mutant could only stare towards his leader as he wandered over to one of the bodies and took a sample -- probably blood. As he rose up, he motioned for Subject 12. He nodded and took a few hesitant steps towards the other. He quickly stopped upon hearing heavy footsteps coming from down the hallway. The ground shook slightly at the sheer force of whatever was coming. Within a few moments, a large machine with the body of a human but the head of a lion came into view. It picked up speed and upon instinct Subject 12 darted forward to 19.5 in the hope that the mutant would be able to help him out. Machines were a big problem for the life-draining based mutant, he could not kill something which was not alive. "Don't worry subject 12. This lion man is as good as dead once he attacks me." Subject 19.5 stated, however that didn't exactly convince Subject 12.

As the creature broke straight through the shield, grabbing a hold of the mutant who put it up, Subject 12 stopped dead in his tracks, unable to decide what he should do. Time after time Subject 19.5 was slammed hard into the ground below, obviously leaving a crater from the sheer force of it. Subject 12 took a few steps back away from the machine, however he flinched when the door closed right behind him, same with the one in front. They became trapped. "What’s wrong weakling?" Subject 19.5 smiled to the machine, causing 12 to wonder what he had planned. Just before the seals did come down, a few droids poured through, immediately running towards Subject 12. He took up a defensive stance, but before they could even come close to the mutant they burst into a thousand parts. "Yes we are making fun of you double, serving a god is smart, serving a destroyer is stupid as a destroyer just keeps destroying so I assume your an idiot. Nice to see you again 12." Obviously the lack of attention upon Subject 19.5 made the mutant deeply annoyed. "Don't look away from me when you are fighting me!" He yelled out as he continuously punched the machine's arm. The machine was soon sent flying into the seal of the hallway, dropping the mutant in the process and breaking straight through it. "Let's go Subject 12." Subject 12 took a moment to blink dumbly at the scene in front, something as small as Subject 19.5 had managed to send a machine as big as that one, flying into the wall and breaking it. Subject 12 quickly regained his bearing and ran to the side of Subject 19.5.

12 could tell the mutant next to him was angry, his tone of voice and his actions clearly showed it. The mutant destroyed every seal with little effort, it was amazing but then his powers could never compare to the real Subject 19, but this one came close. As they walked through the hallways, to a destination 12 was unsure of, he kept quiet as not to upset the other mutant further.

Subject 16-B

---

The bored mutant continued to balance the invisible knife in his hand, occasionally glancing towards the monitors to check the progress of Subjects 20-B and 41. They seemed to be doing fine, the commander was worrying over nothing. He sighed deeply as the knife disappeared from his hands and he allowed his head to fall forward. "Be on your guard there's something wrong I don't know what." He glanced up quickly at the sound of his master's voice. Subject 16-B straightened up in an instant, wondering whether his master had noticed the mutant slacking off. The mutant dismissed it as a hidden warning for him to not be so lazy and as such he lent back on his chair and watched the training session.

It had only been a few minutes since the last statement made by his master, before another one came. "We have slight problem one of 19 agents and 12 have invaded shield's outer layer Project-553356 is attacking them I suggest to pull out the team now." Subject 21's words both confused and frightened 16. Why would an agent of Subject 19 come here? It was all very confusing, but he knew exactly what to do. They had been training for this for a long time. "Understood." 16 replied in his professional tone, slamming down on the button to stop the simulation and yanking the door open. "You two, you're needed!" Subject 16 yelled out to them, all the while his professionalism did not change.

the project stood up unharmed not even a scratch on his skin as it had reformed, the machine was build up form thousands of smaller devices being as good as unbreakable by sheer force and it restarted it's walk to it's target but this time it thinned itself and made it's way right under the feet of 12 going upwards and grabbing the mutant covering everything expect the head with a strong form as much larger snake like body formed "I think you didn't understand what I meant as that is that your an idiot." 21 focused on the easily provoked rage of his opponent forming a thick layer of spikes around 12 making any impact directly fatal for the boy as he draw more time for his assistance to come "12 you do see 19 isn't here to save you who is his minion?" Shield wasn't busy it was pretty calm it's inhabitants were busy but not the machinery 21 kept a low threat sign not pulling out more of his trick cards as he had thousands of them. He only put on a experimental thing of lenses to count power supply instead of usage and he found how much the mutant now really had and he came out that this was really a far too powerful mutant to be called a minion.

Subject 19.5 wasn't surprised when he saw that the machine stood up again. He just looked at it with the same irritated eyes he already had. "Hey... weak pawn of subject 21 there stop trying to ignore me!" he shouted at the machine who was again rushing at subject 12 and subject 19.5. The machine now targeted subject 12 and after a little while subject 12 was covered with what looked like a large snake. "I think you didn't understand what I meant as that is that your an idiot." Around subject 12 a thick layer of spikes started to form. "12 you do see 19 isn't here to save you who is his minion?" Subject 19.5 raised his hand into the direction of subject 12 and a moment later subject 12 disappeared and reappeared right behind subject 19.5. "There is no reason in trying to take subject 12." Subject 19.5 said. "If you want to fight you should target me!" Subject 19.5 shouted to make clear that he was angry. Suddenly there was a black out. Everything stopped working inclusive subject 21's possibility to control anything in shield. "Hello subject 19.5..." the female robotic voice of subject 20 said. "Are you enjoying yourself?" The voice could be heard ever the speakers placed in shield. "Of course not... The enemy's here are weak as hell... Are you sure this is the base of THE subject 21?" Subject 19.5 said really annoyed now. "Don't worry subject 19.5 Subject 19 will be there soon..." Subject 20 said. The annoyed impression of subject 19.5 immediately changed. "Wh... Why is he coming here?" subject 19.5 shouted with a faired tone. "He will tell you it yourself." subject 20 said. Subject 19.5 looked around now to look for what direction they had to go. "Come we can't waste time here." subject 19.5 said to subject 12 while he grabbed his hand and teleported to the entrance of the training room.

21 corrected the invader "I'm 21 I'm a AI." Then there was a black out that came from literally no where 21 had total control over everything and this was the moment that 21 confirmed his suspicion that 20 had great powers from 19 making her automatically superior. 21 was now in a little bit of a plan less position as he couldn't take her at all if she had powers but still the robot risen again now functioning on a basic program to kill all opponents. The snake disappeared into a formless cloud of fluid silver that aimlessly attached it self to all the persons in the room trying to choke and sting but it was a largely worthless things as they were almost completely without focus. 21 restarted the reactors retaking control over shield in one swift moment raising the shield up and pushing 20 out of his systems "We have a slight technical problem 19.5 take something else from my collection." The first attacker retreated into the ground but nothing took it's place. A blue line opened into the air for a second as it moved closer cloaked completely but it stopped in it's way "Also 19.5 may I ask you if you may be 19 brother? I guess 20 wouldn't lie and your obviously afraid for him so I guess he got most of the power so trowing the human creation theory out of the window as they made only one so then I guess I'm doomed but we will find out as you being here means 19 got more than 33% of the power the universe got 33 or less and you got less than 33% in other words if this math works then I can suck you dry that then I have the edge in brute force in other words I'm probably close to your might." 21 stopped his long dialogue to perform a short calculation "Yes I'm right power of the big bang can't be spread out so uneven."

the creature kept walking now releasing a stream of bullets willie 21 cemented "Yes I know your going to survive this without a scratch I just love to test."

Subject 12

---

Subject 12 had taken a few cautious steps away from Subject 19.5, he could clearly see the other's anger and he wasn't comfortable being anywhere near the other mutant. 12 sighed deeply, glancing around at the base they were walking in, he hadn't noticed the machine as it reformed. The next thing he knew was he was wrapped tightly in the grasp of a metal snake. Though 12 could still breath, he let out a pained gasp of air, the sheer force of the thing crushing his lungs as well as his body."I think you didn't understand what I meant as that is that your an idiot." 21 said to him, obviously provoking Subject 12, which naturally worked. Subject 12 growled under his breath and struggled, despite the tight bind he was in. Suddenly a thick layer of spikes appeared around him, it had only taken him a second to stop struggling, however the tips of the spikes had pierced his arms. "12 you do see 19 isn't here to save you who is his minion?" The mutant didn't reply, instead he growled even louder under his breath, lowering his gaze. Though the mutant wasn't entirely smart and easily provoked into a rage -- one where he would become completely illogical, but despite all of that he desperately tried to find a way out of his situation.

The thing which caught the attention of 12 was the actions of 19.5; the mutant raised his hand and within a flash Subject 12 stood next to the mutant. He let out a sigh of relief, doubling over and taking in a huge breath. His ribs hurt badly and his chest felt like it could burst any second from lack of air. "There is no reason in trying to take Subject 12." Subject 19.5 said, although his voice seemed further away than it really was. "If you want to fight you should target me!" The mutant now yelled out, a clear sign of how frustrated he really was. Subject 12 would of moved away, but his chest hurt way too badly. there was a sudden black out in which 12's eyes widened out of fear. He straightened himself up but emitted a low growl from the pain, he wouldn't be surprised if a rib or two was damaged. "Are you enjoying yourself?" A familiar female voice echoed around the rooms of the entire base, it could of only been Subject 20.

Subject 12 closed his eyes for a moment, blocking out all sounds around him and attempting to get his breathing back to normal. "Come we can't waste time here." The words snapped the mutant back into reality and he opened his eyes to stare at the door leading into the training room. "We have a slight technical problem 19.5 take something else from my collection." At least Subject 21 had regained control, though... 12 had no idea why that was a good thing, but he knew nothing about Subject 20 but the other former-mutant he had gotten on with... sometimes. An opponent which you couldn't see was not the easiest thing to defeat. Subject 12 once again took the minutes of 21's ranting to regain his breath and think for a moment, he knew nothing about either of the two sides but yet he had switched back and forth between them, always being kept in the dark. It wasn't a good thing of course and as such he probably lost the trust of both Subject 21 and Subject 19. However he was on God's side now, the winning side. Perhaps the mutant was a bit selfish and contradictive, always betraying the other to join the stronger side.

The sound of gun fire is what brought the mutant back to reality, he stared for a moment at the new creature coming down the halls releasing a stream of bullets. Subject 12 grumbled under his breath, they were constantly being attacked, not that they really expected Subject 21 to give up so easily. "Yes I know your going to survive this without a scratch I just love to test." Not allowing Subject 19.5 to think about how he was going to deal with the machine, Subject 12 grabbed onto the mutant's arm and dragged him backwards and around the corner. "I know you can deal with it," 12 stated with a small frown, "But-" Subject 12 suddenly stopped as he screamed out in pain, reaching behind him and pulling out something which just wasn't there. He quickly span around and narrowed his eyes at Subject 16-B who seemed to be holding something. "Master 21 now proceeding to deal with targets Subject 12 and Subject 19.5" 16 stated in his usual professional tone. 16 had heard the conversation as Subject 20 over took the system and as such the mutant left the other two and ran to help. Subject 12 growled under his breath, the whole inside of his body ached but he wasn't wounded everywhere, it felt as if his entire system was shutting down. His eyes became blurry and he swayed left and right slightly but he remained standing. With one swift motion, Subject 16-B threw two more of his invisible knives straight at Subject 12 and Subject 19.5

When subject 19.5 and subject 12 teleported before the training room subject 21 took control over shield again. It didn't take long before he started to talk again. ""We have a slight technical problem 19.5 take something else from my collection. Also 19.5 may I ask you if you may be 19 brother? I guess 20 wouldn't lie and your obviously afraid for him so I guess he got most of the power so throwing the human creation theory out of the window as they made only one so then I guess I'm doomed but we will find out as you being here means 19 got more than 33% of the power the universe got 33 or less and you got less than 33% in other words if this math works then I can suck you dry that then I have the edge in brute force in other words I'm probably close to your might. Yes I'm right power of the big bang can't be spread out so uneven." Subject 19.5 knew that subject 21 had sent something else to take care of them and this was true. Gunfire started to shoot in the direction of subject 19.5 and subject 12. "Yes I know you’re going to survive this without a scratch I just love to test." Subject 19 just wanted to do something when he was grabbed by subject 12 and dragged behind a corner. "I know you can deal with it, but-" Subject 12 couldn't finish what he was about to say and now subject 19.5 could clearly see subject 16-B standing behind subject 12. "Master 21 now proceeding to deal with targets Subject 12 and Subject 19.5" Subject 12 didn't seem well so subject 19.5 grabbed him and healed him in the progress. On that moment 2 knifes where thrown at subject 19.5 and subject 12. A smile appeared on subject 19.5's face. "Did they really think that he would answer any of their questions while subject 19 was coming here? He had no time for this." Before the knifes could hit them, subject 19.5 made them turn around so that they would hit subject 16-B right now. "I don't have time for this foolish failure mutant." Subject 19.5 shouted at him while he did this. On that moment subject 20-B arrived. He transformed into a hawk and caused subject 16-B to fall so that he wouldn't be hit by those knifes. He was just in time. After he saved subject 16-B's life he transformed back into the mutant he was. "So who is this?" subject 20-B asked subject 16-B while he helped him stand up again.

21 looked to his machine or project-1243 complete artificial permanent invisibility was unachievable as it took far too much power and space to still make a good robot instead this robot had a compromise when it moved it left a blue line behind but now it stood still and fired his machine gun instead another hand changed into a long pin that had a alarming purple glow around it silver color and with remarkable speed was it in 19.5 chest wile the other hand formed a hammer that he let down on the head with much power but the creature relaesed his hold quickly shooting back to were 16-B and 20-B creating a blue round shield around all of them but putting two arms out of the shield and a beam of the pure green flames shoot out wile the head turned into the torso and the entire body expect the hands changed into a a great gun standing on the ground with four strong metal pins that had buried themselves into the ground as the fire intensified and a bright red beam shoot out of body into 19.5 direction and 21 commented "That is also not going to do anything good but still I get data out of all of these encounters and data is always good. Also 16-B focus assaults on 12 I will keep 19.5 in here wile I will also prepare for 19." The machine jumped out of the shield letting it down again into the direction of 19.5 but instead it changed path appearing right behind 19.5 and landing on his back trying to bury the new extended claws into the flesh wile a stream of acid was spread over the body but the resources of the machine were becoming more empty with every attack only one other strategy remained and that was self destruction.

Subject 12 let out a surprised yelp as he was pulled roughly to the side by 19.5. Luckily the mutant did something to heal him and 12 became much more alert; he no longer felt distant or weak, in fact he felt better than ever before. He would of thanked the other mutant, if not for him almost immediately speaking out against 16-B. "Did they really think that he would answer any of their questions while subject 19 was coming here? He had no time for this." 19.5 said with a small smile, Subject 16-B had to admit... he wasn't surprised that the mutant managed to heal the other, neither was he surprised by the fact his weapon backfired on him and started traveling towards him. "I don't have time for this foolish failure mutant." Subject 19.5 shouted, 16 merely sighed, however his breath was knocked out of him as he was pushed to the floor by a hawk. The animal quickly changed back to it's original form; Subject 20-B -- a familiar and comforting face to say the least. At least now the mutant commander would be able to get some help. "So who is this?" Subject 20-B asked as he held out a hand to help his commander up, 16 smiled as he latched onto the hand and used it to pull himself to his feet. Though he had no idea if the weapon would of even affected him, he was still grateful that he was saved the experience. "Subjects 12 and 19.5," 16 told the other mutant as he turned to face them both. "Intruders which are to be dealt with, with caution."

By the time Subject 12 had noticed what his opponent was looking at, the mutant standing next to him was impaled with a pin. The mutant gasped silently as he stepped away from the other, he wondered if such a thing could kill him... He knew that if it happened to him he would have died. Suddenly the machine opened fire once again whilst creating a shield around Subjects 16 and 20-B. 12 of course was left in the middle of it, he reacted quickly though, darting behind the machine and just missing the full fury of the bullets, two however lodged themselves in his right arm. He yelped and ducked quickly to safety, pressing his other hand against the two bullet wounds (which were close together). The mutant cowered around the corner out of sight as he plucked the metal bullets from the flesh of his arm, discarding them to the side. He mumbled irritably about the wounds in his arm and the fact it would affect him later, also to point out that 19.5 was a little preoccupied to help him now. "That is also not going to do anything good but still I get data out of all of these encounters and data is always good. Also 16-B focus assaults on 12 I will keep 19.5 in here while I will also prepare for 19." The voice of 21 could be heard over head and his orders to his commander were something which worried 12 deeply. He couldn't fight in a situation like this and he couldn't fight against something he couldn't see. The mutant forced himself to stand up and glanced around the corner to take a look at what was happening, he didn't see much as his hunter was already beginning to run towards him. "Subject 20-B please remain here and keep 19.5 occupied." 16 instructed the other as he ran around the corner, however by then the other mutant was gone.

Subject 12 ran as fast as he could down the hallways of Shield, hoping to himself that he wouldn't encounter any problems. His arm was badly injured and bleeding, at least the rest of his body was working fine. "I knew it was a bad idea coming here..." Subject 12 uttered under his breath as he turned the corner and skidded to a halt at the sight of a group of trainee mutants. "An intruder?" One of them asked another, "If it was then why aren't the alarms going off?" another replied, they all shrugged as they stared to Subject 12 trying to work out if he was an intruder or not. The other mutant remained silent, unable to think up an excuse or defense. He had to keep going though, he couldn't stop now. "Why are you just standing there?" Subject 12 yelled at them in an angered tone, "The intruder is in Section C! Go on Master 21 won't be happy if you just stand here!" Calling Subject 21 Master was extremely hard for the mutant, but he pulled it off and the group of mutants believed him; they quickly grabbed their weapons and ran off down the hallways as fast as their legs could carry them. Naturally they were fearing the worst if they made Subject 21 unhappy.

Subject 16-B slowed down into a walk after a while, it wasn't that he was tired, he just didn't see the point in running. Subject 12 couldn't escape Shield, 21 wouldn't allow it... would he? Then again it wasn't like the mutant was a real threat. He wasn't immortal, just a child with an unusual power -- one which was dangerous but the mutant couldn't use it to the best of his ability. He was just an arrogant child with an anger problem. The whole situation made Subject 16-B laugh, his laugh was strange though. Being made from a crystal directly linked to a fake Subject 19, the commander had adopted a few glitches, not that any of them ever showed up before. Now was the first time such a thing happened. "Come out little kid, I won't hurt you." Subject 16-B replied with another burst of insane laughter. In his hand appeared a weapon which wasn't seen before, a rather large spear with a glowing green gem in the middle. A pure manifestation of Subject 16-B's psychic energy during the burst of insanity. The spear was clearly seen, it's height reaching just above the mutant himself whilst the dragged the huge tip along the ground making a scraping sound.

The chilling sound of the metal scraping and the insane tone which 16 spoke in, made the younger mutant shiver slightly. He had not a clue what was going on, Shield seemed to be a house for the criminally insane at the moment. Or perhaps that was just 19.5... Then again Subject 21 could be classed as insane, not that he had a real brain anymore. Subject 12 backed up against a wall and pulled his legs to his chest as he sat down, he only listened as the scraping sound came closer and louder, but then the halls echoed and the sounds could be deceiving. "Please don't notice me..." 12 whispered under his breath a few times. The sound grew louder and louder until it finally stopped. "Subject 12~" the other mutant sang in an airy voice causing the boy to look up in fear, sure enough the other mutant stood there standing over him with his weapon poised to strike. Subject 12 reacted quickly as he scrambled to his feet just as the weapon was brought down where he just sat. The boy ran down the halls as fast as he could always from the newly insane mutant, he looked forward in horror though as he came straight to a dead end. He shivered once again as he turned around and watched Subject 16-B walk down the hallway with his weapon scraping the floor at his side.

Subject 19.5 just smiled when subject 21's machine or how they call it: project-1243, attacked him. "That is also not going to do anything good but still I get data out of all of these encounters and data is always good. I will keep 19.5 in here wile I will also prepare for 19." The smile of subject 19.5 grew even bigger when subject 21 said this. On that moment the machine jumped out of the shield he made earlier and landed on the back of subject 19.5 so that the claws of the machine would pierce right trough him and while the machine pierced subject 19.5, it even emitted a green colored acid into the body of subject 19.5. Subject 19.5 just stood still looking at how subject 21 tried to kill him. It reminded him of an old battle he fought. He was happy that subject 21 finally decided to target subject 19.5 and him only but he was also worried about the mutant’s subject 12, who he had to protect. He tried to search for the mutant to see if he was in any danger but he didn't see him. He now looked at the other mutants ho where present and he saw that one of them was also gone. Subject 19.5's smile faded away. "Where did they go?" he thought while he looked up to take a better look at the machine.

"Subjects 12 and 19.5, Intruders which are to be dealt with, with caution." subject 20-B was answered on his previous question he asked subject 16-B. "So this is subject 19.5 and subject 12..." subject 20-B said not too loud. On that moment a machine of subject 21 called project-1243 opened fire while creating a shield around subject 16-B and subject 20-B. Subject 20-B noticed how subject 12 ran behind the machine to dodge the bullets which were fired by the machine. "A smart move." he thought "But it seems like he is wounded." The mutant now ran behind the corner leaving the mutants line of sight. "That is also not going to do anything good but still I get data out of all of these encounters and data is always good. Also 16-B focus assaults on 12 I will keep 19.5 in here wile I will also prepare for 19." Master 21 ordered subject 16-B. "Subject 20-B please remain here and keep 19.5 occupied." subject 16-B said while he ran after the running companion of subject 19.5 leaving subject 19.5, 20-B and the machine alone. Subject 20-B then looked at subject 19.5 who just looked up to take a look at the machine.

"Subject 21... I must thank you" Subject 19.5 said. "You where able to amuse me." The smile of subject 19.5 grew back to its original size while he placed his hand on piercing machine part. This machine part started to boil and a moment later it transformed into ashes. Subject 19.5 jumped out of the bind that the machine had placed on him and while he did this he took a syringe out of his pockets. "Now let's finish my job here." Subject 19.5 said while he slowly walked in the direction of subject 20-B.

At first Subject 20-B was startled by this sudden turn of events but it didn't take long before he could act like he normally did. "This opponent is too strong for me." subject 20-B thought while analyzing his chances of survival against him. Subject 20-B knew he would lose but still... He had to fight to at least buy some time for subject 20-B and master 21. Suddenly subject 20-B's hands transformed into claws and his teeth also grew while subject 20-B ran into the direction of subject 19.5. When subject 20-B started to run, subject 19.5 stood still, waiting for the mutant to come closer and when the mutant finally stood before him subject 19.5 pierced the needle of the syringe into subject 20-B and he quickly took some blood of the surprised subject and after subject 19.5 had done this, subject 19.5 tried to knock subject 20-B out. Subject 20-B was just in time to dodge the fast hand of subject 19.5 but subject 20-B was surprised about what just happened. "Why did he want my blood?" subject 20-B constantly though inside his head. Subject 19.5 launched another fist at subject 20-B but again he was able to dodge it. "Why?... why?" Subject 20-B thought while the third and final attack of subject 19.5 hit him knocking subject 20-B unconscious. "Now let's head to subject 12..." subject 19.5 said after he looked at the unconscious before him.

The sound of a running mutant followed by another sound of a scarping weapon could be heard trough a small part of shield. Still it could be heard well if you where only close enough to the two mutants making the sound. If you would see the mutants, you would see that one was almost insane and that the other was scared to dead of this mutant. The insane mutant came closer and closer to the scared mutant for only one purpose: Killing the scared mutant... But then suddenly out of nothing a laugh could be heard in the same small part of shield which was also good to hear if you where only close enough to it. "It seems like you are in some trouble subject 12..." A voice said to the scared mutant. "But don't worry I will help you out of this mess." The voice then suddenly disappeared just like the laugh of the voice. A few seconds passed in pure silence but after those seconds a man in a back cloak appeared before subject 12 stopping the insane mutant subject 16-B who wanted to kill subject 12. "It's been a long time subject 16-B." The man in the back cloak said while he took of his cap of his cloak. Bright red eyes and almost shining white hair could be seen now. "I hope you didn't miss me..." Subject 19 said.

21 sighed for a second as the machine went to dust, they always did that just take the blow and then kill him in one blast just to show there pure superiority he was sick of it. He worked his entire live for one pure purpose only to just be taken down in one blow. That machine could have killed of a entire army just like everything 21 made but still only one blow. 21 looked to 20-B getting hit down but he didn't care too much anymore. The laugh was what brought 21 back to reality as 19 came back making his glorious appearance, shield was perfectly useless..... 21 took a note of that finding nothing left all of his options were gone this was the first moment 21 was just empty only one thing remained and the calculation said that it would fail so that was also removed. 21 couldn't use any logic anymore to come up with something all of his ideas had been used all of his work rendered so useless that it didn't matter what he build he would always fail, 21 appeared in a hologram form looking coldly "19." 21 was silent for a minute "I will never surrender, how much you will break me and scatter my puny mind around I will always fight so just go and kill me already. Just go to the core and break me open without a problem maybe with one hand maybe you will just let it fly to you and then break it as it's air." 21 looked to 16-B for a second then to 12 without emotion "I just don't care about it anymore you know, this will be my last try and my best work that you will break open with maybe in the best case a little effort. Project 9.999.999." The entire hallway changed the ground lowered as the room became round opening view to a machine with golden skin standing ten feet tall in total silence as his empty face confirmed his being. Entire shield shook a second as a enormous amount of energy was brought into the machine from the entire galaxy to center in the being that 21 quickly took possession of.

21 shook the golden head for a second "I know how this is going to end I'm going to beat you up stand then you just stand up unharmed only to destroy this being with one attack." 21 let the creature set a few steps as his mind began to pay a enormous amount of him to the body to keep the control up giving much of the bases to Virtual intelligences that could perfectly handle it. Two long golden wings came out of 999999 back reflecting light as the feathers as sharp as possible, 21 teleported 16-B and 12 both in separated chambers on each side of the big room to look at the fight trough the window there wasn't a door until someone would win. 21 teleported closer to 19 forming a large burning ball of pure energy and shooting it right into the face of 19 as thousands metal spikes came into the white energy explosion to join it. Time stopped as 21 shoot blast after blast from every angel to 19 picking them up in a shield concentrating all of the power on 19 wile thousands of silver beings rose out of the ground forming am mighty army as 21 jumped backwards behind the lines sending the thousand's of project-553356 attacked 19 with every defeated another pair rose as 21 send thousands of minds attacks with speed higher than a thousand times that of light flew he right to 19 leaving distortion in reality that quickly closed with his speed hitting 19 a thousand times in less than a micro second with strength that would make a planet a dust particle. 21 let out a pure controlled fighting way of blind speed and efficiency that could only be witnessed as beautiful but deadly. The silver beings closed in on 19 and 21 teleported away as they formed one giant burble around 19 hitting him with great force wile acting as a giant power vacuum for him that 21 stood immune he had calculated this perfectly but still he knew he would fail horrible. He told 16-B in his mind "He's going to win just wait he's always going to win. I suggest you try the cube now." A door opened the cube had been project 10000000 a marvelous thing but still it didn't dwarf the golden creation of 21 it was as good as unbeatable now but 21 knew 19 didn't obey logic nor the universal laws not any body so he just expected the mutant to barge in and defeat him maybe even kill him but probably not 19 had to like having a enemy. The bubble reused energy taken from 19 in the form of growing and attacking him and they now bathed him a rain of silver bullets and explosions having the occasional nuke in the bubble blasting everything but the nukes kept coming in a hire fire rating until haven was shocked with the speed of a machine gun.

Subject 12 backed away as much as possible, his back hitting hard against the wall but his attention focused on nothing but the danger in front -- an insane mutant bent on killing him, dragging a painful-looking weapon at his side. If that thing hits me i'm dead... Where the hell is Subject 19.5? 12 couldn't stop himself from shaking, his legs gave way and he fell to his knees, cupping his hands together and praying to live. "Please Subject 16-B, we were friends once weren't we? Come on...you don't need to kill me." As Subject 12 pleaded, the other mutant showed no signs of even caring, he raised his weapon and pointed the tip straight at 12's chest. Suddenly an insane laughter echoed around them; coming from neither of the two mutants. "It seems like you are in some trouble Subject 12..." a voice said but couldn't be seen, "But don't worry I will help you out of this mess." the voice disappeared in an instant as well as the laughter. Both mutants wondered what had happened, but 16-B pulled his arm back and swiftly plunged the head of the spear into the chest of the other mutant.

A single hand grabbed onto the weapon and stopped it just before it pierced the mutant's chest; the hand belonging to a cloaked mutant. Subject 12 let out a sigh of relief as he opened his eyes to stare forward at the cloaked figure, he had a pretty good idea who it was. "It's been a long time subject 16-B." the figure said as he dropped his hood, allowing both of the mutants to see his pure white hair -- and 16 to see his red eyes. Subject 16-B retracted his weapon, yanking it out of the grasp of Subject 19 and held it down by his side, "I hope you didn't miss me..." 19 said as the mutant he was protecting behind him scrambled to his feet. Subject 16-B began to smile, a twisted smile which again was unusual for the mutant and seemed completely out of place. "If it isn't Subject 19, it's like looking in a mirror eh brother?" 16 emitted a small laughter, referring to the fact that they both shared the same features; red eyes, white hair. Calling him brother was a mere state of the fact that they could of been classed as related due to how Subject 16-B was made.

Subject 12 -- who regained his cocky attitude -- growled under his breath, stepping forward to stand by Subject 19's side. "You'll never be like Subject 19! You're just a worthless double!" the words of the younger mutant evoked another burst of insane laughter from Subject 16-B. "Worthless?" he questioned as he quickly used his weapon to stab the bullet wound on Subject 12's arm. The mutant winced from the pain and cowered behind Subject 19, clutching onto his bleeding arm. "At least I do not hide from a fight." Subject 16-B stated in a blunt tone as he brought the weapon back to his side, staring at the blood on its tip. "19." The voice arose from the side of the mutant, a hologram of his Master. "I will never surrender, how much you will break me and scatter my puny mind around I will always fight so just go and kill me already. Just go to the core and break me open without a problem maybe with one hand maybe you will just let it fly to you and then break it as it's air." Subject 21 quickly glanced over towards his commander but then looked back towards his targets. "I just don't care about it anymore you know, this will be my last try and my best work that you will break open with maybe in the best case a little effort. Project 9.999.999."

The entire hallway changed the ground lowered as the room became round opening view to a machine with golden skin standing ten feet tall in total silence as his empty face confirmed his being. "I know how this is going to end I'm going to beat you up stand then you just stand up unharmed only to destroy this being with one attack." Both mutants stared down at the machine as it sprouted golden wings which rejected the light upon it's sharp feathers. Subjects 12 and 16-B were transported to separate rooms, without doors to watch the fight. Subject 16-B's weapon disappeared and he wandered over to the window to watch. Subject 12 growled under his breath, still applying pressure to his bleeding arm and pacing the room to look for a way out. Both mutants eventually decided to watch the fight; Subject 16-B hoped for the demise of 19 whilst 12 hoped that the mutant would win. A situation like this seemed impossible.

After a little while of a flurry of attacks being released upon Subject 19, the voice of 16's master sounded in his head. "He's going to win just wait he's always going to win. I suggest you try the cube now." The commander was recovering from his insane outburst, however he managed to pick up on his orders and took out the small cube which 21 had given him. He looked at it questioningly for a moment, wondering what he was supposed to do with it. He managed to remember the words of his master not too long ago.

"This is one of my projects is contains a Virtual intelligence capable of caring for it's self but more important is the function. This box's contains the core DNA code that causes mutants to drain power from 19 and also a micro sized storage of every mutant expect the ones of 19 and himself of course but still many of his minions are included. I want you to lead the elite team to close contact with 19 and then letting this make contact with his skin or power it will cause effect of him draining his own power to the infinity making him like a circle of power and largely harmless but still immortal as that isn't his power but instead a effect of the power. This box's was hard to make but I will be able to talk to you trough it and assist you."

Subject 16-B glanced down at the box again for a moment before looking out towards Subject 19. "So all I have to do is get thing cube to touch him?" He frowned to himself and pressed his hands against the glass. "Easier said than done..." he mumbled under his breath, planning out a way to get Subject 19 to him since he was unable to go out there and attack him. Suddenly a realization dawned on him and Subject 16-B stood back away from the window. "Master 21 could you bring Subject 12 here?" he smiled, still with a hint of insanity in it.
