When his lover returned she saw him sitting there in his armor, growling as if to warn her while he advanced upon her. She didn't have the will to harm the one she loved, but he wasn't himself..at least not yet. The transformation made the kind part of him vanish, making him slay without guilt. It was on this night where he would begin to gain control of himself in this transformed state. As he advanced upon her he froze when he realized what he was doing..only to have his more primitive instincts take over. He broke out into a mad dash straight for her, raising the hand that held those blades that dripped with potent neurotoxins. She screamed, arms raising to try and provide some sort of defense. She screamed "Ryan! Ryan! Stop what are you doing!?" At the last second he stopped, pointing behind her as if to tell her to run. She gave him a quick kiss in thanks, knowing that somewhere inside he was trying to save her. With that she ran like hell into the night. She never made it more than two hundred feet before he lost control, running straight for her and tackling her to the ground. He slashed like mad, ripping his lover into shreds in a matter of seconds. At least her death was quick and painless, unlike most...whom of which he played with before putting them down.
Ryan has no memory of this night, but somewhere deep inside his mind the vivid memory of his love standing there trying to bring him back was there. Perhaps someday he will learn the truth as to what happened to her, so in his eyes her honor would be restored.
The next year of his life was full of the usual struggle of life and death. His life had been wasted and he was thinking of taking his own life since he felt a sense of being useless and a waste to the world. From time to time people came into the laboratory, keeping his hopes alive for a short while. Then came a girl he would become close friends with, until things just seemed to break apart. Each went their own way. For the next week Ryan would be devastated, feeling the darkness in his heart gradually consuming him. Unfortunately for Ryan he gave into his hatred to become one that killed without honor, and attacked anyone that got in his way without a reason.
The one that gave Ryan life many years ago returned a short time after Ryan decided to slaughter everyone. However, even Ryan was smart enough to see that it was the life giver, whom he paid the highest respect to. Instead of coming in peace, the ninja that Ryan admired so much came to end his life and stop him from suffering. Ryan didn't want a fight, but was forced into it. Many times he had the opportunity to slay his "father", but he couldn't bring himself to kill the man that gave him so much, in such a short amount of time. Ryan's father figure was old, but still quite capable of combat. With his many years of experience he was able to turn the tides of the fight against Ryan. In one swift move the blade of the ninja's dagger shattered the crystal that fueled Ryan's armor leaving him to fight without any sort of energy weapons or fancy tricks.
With so much honor at stake Ryan removed his armor since the crystal was useless and in a dozen different pieces. With only blades they went at it for countless minutes, wearing each other down with non-fatal wounds. The grounds of the laboratory were soaked with blood of both human and Bion alike. Never before did Ryan fight so hard to survive, as nobody had ever disabled his armor so easily before. He knew it would be a long battle, since the ninja was the one that gave Ryan life, and had to have known more than him of combat and technique. Even though Ryan was an elite fighter and in his prime..the older ninja had more experience and knew more about Ryan than he himself knew. With one final blow, Ryan collapsed to the ground where his neon blue blood began to pool out from underneath him. The battle was over, with Ryan's strength leaking from his battered body.
However, instead of finishing Ryan off, he would merely drag him into the back of the laboratory where he was first given life..tossing Ryan into one of those tubes that held him in suspended animation. Only this time he wouldn't just heal Ryan, but erase his memory and past to ease his pain and suffering. All of his scars would be erased from his frame and he would be given a second chance. Ryan's father figure didn't have the heart to extinguish the last of a powerful and honorable species. He only hoped that Ryan wouldn't descend down the dark path life in his previous life. Once the commands were set the ninja vanished into the night with the hope that Ryan would fight for good, instead of living day to day slaughtering innocent people and caring only for the strong.
As of late he remains suspended in the tube beside the one he shattered from the first time he was given life. In that room full of the skeletons of his siblings, he will never know how lucky he was to survive.
