The Omnic crisis was the war that many nations thought they were prepared to fight, but no matter how powerful their military was, countries could not secure their own territory. Countries were desperate for anything that would give them an advantage over the Omnic's. Germany responded with crusaders, South Korea responded with the M.E.K.A program. And the U.S responded with the highly classified, but widely acknowledged 'soldier enhancement program'. This program was to use pharmaceutical means of creating the perfect soldier, blessed with superhuman speed, strength, and agility. But unfortunately, the first test subject was not so lucky….

U.S Military research Facility, 2044

Alex sat dizzy in a chair with a burlap sack over his head; he was bound to a chair and had no recollection of how he got there. It was cold, and the chair was uncomfortable, the room was silent with the exception of the heartbeat monitor next to him. His mouth was dry and he was still struggling to keep his eyes open.

Alex was scared, he had no idea where he was or what happened. Was he captured? Was he in trouble? If so for what? Alex was assuming the worst case scenario.

Alex's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening, followed by a series of footsteps. Alex was even more scared. Who were these people? The footsteps inched closer and closer before they were right in front of him. All of a sudden the burlap sack was taken off of his head and his eyes were blinded by light.

"Fuck" Alex mumbled to himself.

"Subject 4025 is in stable condition, vital signs are healthy, no problems thus far" An unfamiliar voice said.

"What?" Alex mumbled once more. But got no response.

Alex's eyes eventually adjusted to the light and immediately noticed two scientists in hazmat suits standing in front of him. Alex looked down to see multiple syringes inserted into different areas of his body.

"What are you doing to me?" Alex asked, And again, got no response.

"Is it ready yet?" A voice said from beyond the door.

The two scientists turned around, and Alex turned his attention to the door to see a man in a U.S Military uniform walk in. Alex was slightly relieved to see a U.S service member; at least he knew he wasn't in a different country.

"Sir, I'm not sure if we should proceed, we should just wait for the pharmaceutical to-"

"The Omnics won't wait for us to be ready; we have a deadline to meet." The man cut the scientist off.

"Very well, sir" The scientist said.

One of the scientists went to check over all the syringes in Alex's body.

"Hey, please just tell me what's happening!" Alex said, in a nervous yell.

Again he got no response.

"Syringes are secured", the scientist said, as he looked at the scientists, who was standing in front of Alex

"Copy, preparing to pump parasite 0-01 into subject 4025" The other scientist said.

"Wait, a PARASITE!" Alex yelled.

A dark red substance began to slowly make its way into the syringes tubes from the machine behind him. Alex began to struggle in the restraints but to no avail, they were too tight. Eventually the substance made its way into the syringe and pumped into Alex's body. Alex had never felt a pain like that in his life. It felt like his veins were burning, like something was eating them on the inside. Alex began to scream in pain as he struggled even more. Alex was shaking and yelling violently, desperately trying to break free and get it to stop. The two scientists were clearly disturbed at what they were watching, but they had to stay.

Alex began to grow weaker and weaker, he was finding it hard to struggle but the pain was still there. His eyes began to feel heavy and began to fell lightheaded and dizzy. Before he knew it he was out cold, leaving him defenseless against the Parasite being pumped into his body.

12 hours later

Alex had just awoken from his previous procedure, in a bed. Surprisingly he felt fine, in fact he felt great. He wasn't in any pain and he had tons of energy, and didn't feel fatigued. He took a look around the room and noticed the room was different, it was almost like a cell, and it had a bed, sink and a toilet. He got up to take a look at what they did to him. He looked down and immediately noticed they changed his cloths. He was wearing black combat boots, urban camouflage fatigues, black fingerless gloves, a black vest, and for some reason he had a small gas mask around his mouth and nose. Upon further inspection he found that his skin had turned into a light grey. Alex ws nervous now, what did they do? What is this?

Alex's thoughts were interrupted by the cell door opening, revealing a female scientist, who walked into the cell; she jumped a little bit as well. Alex guessed she didn't expect him to be awake.

"Umm, Alex….how are f-feeling?" She asked

Alex slowly turned around to face the scientist, he took a few steps forward, and in response she took a few steps back, still keeping eye contact with Alex.

"I've been better" Alex responded.

The scientist was slightly nervous, a man of 6,6 was just about standing over her, and he had just been kidnapped and tested on, he far from happy to be there.

"I-I'm sorry to hear that Alex, im Sarah, I'll be in overlooking your progress today. If you would just follow me and cooperate, all of your questions will be answered." The scientist said.

"Why. Why should I follow you?" Alex argued.

"Cause it's your only way out of here" a man at the door said, interrupting the scientist.

Both Alex and the scientists looked towards the door to see the same man from yesterday walk in. The man who ordered the scientists to pump that crap into Alex. Alex clenched his fist, but remained still and silent as the man walked in.

"Now if you would just listen to my scientist here and follow her, your question will be answered, no need to make this harder than it should be." The man said.

The scientist looked back at Alex. Alex sighed. If it was his only way out of here he guessed he had to follow the orders he was begin given.

"Fine" He said.

"Well alright then, let's go" The man said.

Sarah gestured Alex to follow her. Alex obliged and walked out of the cell. The second he left the cell Alex noticed six soldiers waiting for him, some of them walked in front of Alex, the rest walked behind him. Sarah was right next to Alex, she could tell Alex felt uneasy from all the attention he was getting, hell she felt nervous herself.

"You mind telling me what the hell they did?" Alex whispered to Sarah.

Sarah remained silent for a few moments; she was reluctant to say anything to Alex, but eventually broke. The scientist sighed.

"Have you heard of the soldier enhancement program?" She asked.

"Never" Alex responded.

"Didn't expect you too. In a nutshell they pumped you with a parasite that will turn you into a 'Perfect soldier'. But it had yet to be tested. So you were our first test subject-" Sarah answered bluntly

"So I was just your fucking guinea pig?" Alex asked, a little agitated by her response.

"I wouldn't say guinea pig, but you were the first test subject, Commander Nells over here thinks it's a privilege to be blessed with such abilities." Sarah said, pointing at the man who ordered the scientist to pump him.

"What abilities?" Alex asked.

Sarah looked at him with a small smirk. "You'll see"

"So what happens after they test me, are they going to kill me?" Alex asked.

Sarah gasped. "Oh gosh, no! You'll be used to fight against the Omnics, can't believe you would ask such a thing.

Their conversation was interrupted by the commander. "Were here"

After he said that, a door opened to reveal an observation room. Full of scientists and more soldiers. Everybody in front of Alex began to walk in, but Alex stood still looking at everyone who were staring back at him.

"MOVE IT!" The soldiers behind him ordered, and pushed him with their rifles.

Alex began to walk forward into the observation room. All the eyes were still on Alex, some of the scientists were a little off put by Alex. He was taller than most of them,. And they knew what they had done to him, and knew he was far from happy. Alex was ordered to stop, so he did. The scientists began talking but Alex turned his attention or a pair of windows, which were overlooking an arena-like training facility. But that's not what Alex was looking at. He was looking at his reflection, on top of his skin being grey, he also noticed his eyes. They had a yellow tint to them, and they were slightly glowing. Alex kept looking at his reflection in curiosity, and fear. He looked like a monster, what did this Parasite do?

"Alex….ALEX!" Sarah yelled.

Alex immediately snapped his head to look at Sarah. Alex remained silent for a few moments, but spoke up shortly after "yeah?"

She pointed at a door that had opened up next to the observation windows.

"If you would please walk through that door." She said.

Alex nodded and began to walk over to the door. He walked through the door to reveal a flight of stairs leading down to the ground level of the training area. Before Alex made his way down he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to see Sarah standing behind him with a small smile on her face. Even though Alex didn't know her, she did help him calm down a bit, thought he still didn't trust her.

"Don't worry, the hard part is almost over" She said, in a clam soothing voice.

Alex Nodded, before walking down the stairs. He heard the door close behind him. He got to the bottom of the stairs and waited, a few moments passed and nothing had happened.

"Alex, can you hear me?" a voice said over a loud speaker.

Alex, not knowing how to reply, he simply gave a thumbs up.

"Okay good. First things first, I want you to run from where you are now, to the end of the training area, about 100 meters, can you do that for me?"

Alex let up another thumbs up.

"Alright then, when you're ready"

Alex looked ahead, of him.

"A 100 meter sprint huh? Sounds easy enough" he said to himself.

With that Alex began running as fast as he could. To Alex's surprise, he was running EXTREMLY fast. So fast that it only took 5 seconds for him to reach the 100 meter mark. Upon reaching his destination he hadn't had enough, so he sprinted back to where he started.

"Wonder how high I can jump" Alex said to himself.

As he ran he tried jumping, and to Alex's surprise he jumped extremely high, almost to the ceiling, but that was with him hardly putting any effort in.

"Holy crap!" Alex yelled, while chuckling slightly.

Upon landing, the loud speaker came on again.

"Good job Alex, I see you found out about your increased agility. Now do me another favor, in the corner of the room there is a storage container, I want you to try and lift that."

"Are you fucking nuts? I can't lift that!" Alex said.

"Just try" the speaker said, before he cut off.

Alex ran over to the storage container that he was instructed go run to. He inspected the container for a few moments. Walking around it trying to find out how he's supposed to lift it.

"How in fucks name am I supposed to lift this?" He said to himself.

Agitated, Alex kicked the container, which caused it to fly into the middle of the room. Alex stood there in shock; he just kicked a 4-ton storage container like it was nothing. Curious, he ran over to the container and bent down, getting a good grip underneath it and lifted it up. He was surprised; he lifted the container with relative ease. Hell, he was even able to throw it.

In the observation room scientists were recording data and watching in amazement, they were relieved that the Parasite hadn't killed him, some of them were even cheering. Commander Burned was watching as well, but one could tell he wasn't pleased, he looked agitated.

"Commence the final test" He ordered.

Some of the scientists and some of the soldiers paused and looked at him, noticing his agitated tone.

"Why are you just standing there? COMMENCE THE FINAL TEST!" Commander Nells shouted.

"Yes sir" a scientists said.

Down below in the training area Alex was still playing around with the container, just dragging it across the ground and kicking it lightly, to move it, almost like a soccer ball. All of a sudden a loud buzzing noise was heard, and a large door within the facility began to open. Alex watched the door as it opened but it was too dark to see what was in there. Alex walked over in curiosity to take a look. As he approached we was surprised by a bunch of red lights turning on, and whatever they, were began beeping. Alex immediately knew what they were and ran behind the storage container.

"Fucking bastion units! Really!"Alex yelled.

"Use your new abilities to dispatch of the threat, you can use any means necessary" The speaker said.

Alex thought he was fucked, he was trapped in an arena with a bunch of heavily armed bastion units, and they all knew where he was.

"You sure you're not trying to kill me!" Alex yelled.

He got no response, but could see the scientists and commander Nells looking down at him from the observation room. Ales rolled his eyes and listened closely. He heard the sounds of the Bastion units approaching the storage container. As soon as they were close enough Alex took a step back, and kicked the container as hard as he could. The container went flying and took most of the Omnics with it, and crushed them against the wall.

After Alex kicked the container he noticed he has no cover, and there were two bastion's flanking him from the left and right. Brian turned his attention to the Omnic to his left, which was raising his gun at him. Alex didn't give the Omnic an opportunity to fire, and grabbed its gun. The bastion unit looked down at its gun, before looking up at Alex again. Alex smirked and yanked the Omnic by its gun, causing it to fly into the wall behind him.

After disposing of the bastion unit Alex heard the sound of metal clanking together and machinery moving. Alex turned to the source of the noise to fins the last bastion unit in its infamous turret form. By the time Alex turned around it was too late, its minigun was already spinning up.

"Oh FU-"

Alex was interrupted by the sounds of gunfire ringing throughout the training area. Alex turned around and closed his eyes in anticipation that he was about to be ripped to shreds, but surprisingly it, all he felt were a few stings. Alex looked towards the bastion unit that was still firing and looked down, and was shocked to find that the Omnics minigun had little effect on him. It's still hurt quite a bit, but it wasn't enough to kill him.

Alex quickly ran out of the line of fire by jumping into the air. Before the Omnic could even adjust its minigun Alex landed behind it and kicked it into the wall, causing it to shatter into pieces.

"Never seen a man that can stand there and get punished by non-lethal rounds like that, those things hurt." Commander Nells said to the scientists next to him.

"Sir…those were live rounds" the scientist replied.

Commander Nells's eyes widened in shock and he turned towards the scientist

"What!" he shouted.

"Congratulations sir, you've created the perfect super-soldier." The scientist said.

"No, no congrats, we need to put him down, NOW!"

Sarah heard what Nells had just said and intervened.

"What, why would we do that! He didn't ask to be here! And he didn't ask to be tested on! ANNDDD we created the perfect super solider you asked for!" she argued.

Commander Nell's looked down at the training area and noticed that Alex was on his way back to the door.

"Fuck! Don't you realize what we've created! A super soldier that we can't kill.. And isn't 100% loyal. What if he goes rouge or AWOL? We'll have no means of stopping him!"

"You're over thinking this! Besides we have no means of killing him!" Sarah shouted.

"Then we'll just have to put him in cryogenic freezing until we find a way to fight that parasite" Commander Nells said. "Then we'll wait for you to finish the pharmaceutical that can turn people into OUR perfect soldier, not something that alters their genes."

Alex had walked into the room in the middle of the argument. Commander Nells and the scientist clearly didn't see him walk in, but other scientists did, so did the soldiers.

"Ahem"

Both Nells and Sarah stopped and looked at Alex, who was standing by the door confused at what was happening.

Nells looked at two soldier standing by the entrance to the observation room "Get her out of there, wait for me outside." Nells orders.

The two soldiers followed their orders and grabbed Sarah by each arm, one of the soldiers attempted to put his hand over her mouth but failed, she resisted too much.

"A-Alex, their trying to kill you!" She shouted.

"What!" Alex shouted before turning his head to commander Nells.

Before Alex could do anything, a soldier had made his way behind Alex and stuck a syringe in the back of his neck. Pumping a light blue substance into him

Alex turned around and smacked the soldier, which caused him to fly into a wall. He could tell if he was dead or unconscious but he didn't care. Before Alex could so anything else he immediately started feeling dizzy, he stumbled around before falling to the ground. Alex's vision began to get blurry He faintly saw two soldiers dragging Sarah out of the room, followed by the sound of commotion . A few moments later, Alex's vision went black as we fell asleep.

1 hour later

Alex's conscious body was being wheeled to the cryogenic facility by two scientists, escortd by two soldiers. They were going to freeze him until they found a way to fight the parasite, after that they would kill Alex, but they didn't know how long that would take. Their budget was low due to the war against the Omnics. So they couldn't start research yet, their priority was the pharmaceutical that would turn people into the soldiers they needed.

The two scientists arrived at the cryogenic facility and wheeled hi to chamber number five. The scientist recorded the information on a clipboard before they opened up the pod. The pod opened and mist poured out of the chamber. The two scientists took off the restrains Alex was in and lifted him into the chamber. Once done, they closed the door and one of the scientists went to the control panel.

The two soldiers walked up to Nells.

"Sir, we got a call from interrogation, what do you want to do the Sarah?" The soldier asked.

"Tell them to leave her in the holding cell, I need to talk to her" Nells replied.

"Very well sir" the soldiers said.

Nells turned his attention back over to the scientists.

"Sir, how long do you want him in there?" one of the scientists asked.

"No set time, we won't be needing him anytime soon….
