grinning, barely containing excitement Uh, this is n-not exactly how I-I imagined the breakthrough...
Why do you have A rival duelist in Your lab?
You see, Faqsouth, this... "rival" is actually a creation of mine. A prototype for a new line of duelists. A bit... imperfect, I admit.
But why did you experimented on me? Did I look that stupid to you? Do you hate me? Did you created that Virus to destroy everyone else that isn't your or one of your "creations"?
No, no, no! It's not like that at all! I-I simply saw great potential in you, Faqsouth. Y-You're not a "creation", but rather an evolved being.
What the hell do you mean by that!? I was born just like everybody else and you used my body like some kind of plaything! Did I ever ask to be experimented on!? Who gave you the right to destroy everything I held dear!? Answer me dammit!
W-well, you see... I didn't exactly have your best interests in mind when I created... uh... certain changes to your being. It was...
You really expect me to believe that bullshit!?
Look, Faqsouth, I understand that this is overwhelming for you, but there's a greater purpose here. A greater cause.
And what might that cause be, eh? Enlighten me, oh great leader!
Ah, yes. The cause. It's quite simple really. It's the betterment of humanity through technological advancement.
Betterment for who? Just so that you can feel superior to everyone else? No thanks
N-no, not at all. It's for everyone, Faqsouth. Think about it, the possibilities are endless. We can cure diseases, create limitless clean energy, end world hunger. All through science.
If that's so then why am I the only person affected by your "science"? Why aren't you using yourself as a test subject? And why should I let you continue your experiments on me when you already released that Virus that almost destroyed the city?
Well, I... I suppose I should've seen that coming. But you see, Faqsouth, I... I'm not entirely human myself. I have certain... enhancements.
Enhancements? Is that why you were never affected by the Virus you created?
Yes, exactly. You see, I wanted to test the limits of human endurance, and I myself volunteered as a test subject. It was a...
Let me guess. A "greater cause"?
You're catching on, Faqsouth. I wanted to push the boundaries of what we consider possible for a human. To transcend the limitations of our fleshly prison.
Is that why my body became able to do things others couldn't? So that I could prove your little theory?
grinning, barely containing excitement Uh, this is n-not exactly how I-I imagined the breakthrough...
Now, now, Faqsouth. There's no need to be upset. I assure you, this is all for the greater good.
Yeah, yeah whatever. walks away
tries to follow Faqsouth Wait, please, there's so much more I want to show you!
Can't wait. But don't expect me to help you.
Oh, but Faqsouth, you misunderstand! You're not merely a subject in my experiment, you're my partner!
