“Primordial Demon”

He fades to a void and endless cosmos, pulled by something deeper. Unable to move a muscle, he let the situation grasp itself to the point of emerging to a new dimension, a different one but engrosses by whole new different species. Swollen tissues carve themselves to every wall, beating, bulging as if alive.

A dream a different dream, it was… 'the second call'. His vison plummets rendering his clear sight to a devilish call as scream of a large extraterrestrial gnawing his mind.

Shrieking his head his body begun to transform into something different. His eyes cry out in blood, eaten alive by his own cell, consume to a different form. The pain was unbearable till a burst of light explode through his surroundings.

Awake! He was, not in a comfy bed but in a cliff where trees grow and a nostalgic view of how beautify nature was. The soft grass hardly able to help his thoughts.

The moment when he surpassed the 'second call' Arishok felt his right hand taking form. The regulator black metal begun to take shape of a curve serrated blade.

The thoughts of his body to ever consider his tolled his fear. To no longer even know if he was in possession, to be controlled by a device severing his soul.

Still in an obscured mind, the dream he felt greatly affects his mental and physical body to the point of vomiting. Taking a rest, he thought it was best to be in solitude for a while, he thought Earth wasn't meant for him for he was different not meant to be here.

*Panting* he resume his slumber.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha… just a minute of rest would do" closing his eyes leisurely sleeps just as the morning sun warms the ground right the spot where he's been resting.

"This will do…"

Back at the ATHENA association, hundreds of student's lines themselves in straight fine formation.

"ATHENA engage!", disintegrate, the ATHENA crest which Arisha holds engulf to her body forming the ATHENA suit.

Awe the students, the minutes of preparing an ATHENA turns to mere seconds.

"Disengaging ATHENA" quick, the armor reverse itself to a crest at the hands of Arisha.

"That's Sophie for ya" one of the female students said

"This demonstration only shows how the nanotechnology works the rest will be inform to you by your advisor, also you may replace this crest to a personal memento if you have some, so I suggest to those who have a personal ATHENA may bring their own souvenir, that's all" Arisha says

Lara on the front line with a determination look pressed her chest touching the necklace given to her by her mother. Not just Lara but other students who have their own ATHENA.

To where Arishok was, "I understand"

"Do what you can and bring him alive or dead, but if you capture him alive it would be more exciting" April says

"Roger", ending their conversation through via telepathic device.

Ten ATHENA users and thirty Anti-ATHENA robots hides from the other side of a cliff hundred meters away from Arishok led by a man with a scar on his face, well-built body the one who can rival Hina and might even toe to toe with Arisha halts his command.

Visualizing Arishok who seems to be injured, griping his right hand and struggling to walk.

"Not today men… GRAHHHHHH…" the cost of creating a nanotech greatly affects the Core, distorting the calm energy and even disrupting the other DNA.

"System malfunction" the core voice says, "Suppressing energy output, warning… system detected, Unstable body",

"What do you think- -" Just as he begins to walk again forty ATHENA user and AA robots suddenly surrounds him, guns and missiles point at every corner.

The leader steps in a few fifteen meters away from him, calmly and boldly he walks towards Arishok.

With the system in unstable mode Arishok wasn't able to detect the incoming enemy.

"I was task to bring you to headquarter so if you would come to us without harm"

"Stay back!" his voice wasn't his anymore but a devilish tone as the energy of the CORE become more ominous.

"HOOOO…" from a room April with other of her associates watch the situation became more daring.

"It's seems to be unstable" April smirks knowing Arishok was an easy prey since she could tell he was struggling.

"your command?" the man with a scar ask April

"Do it" she replies watching Arishok walking in different direction trying to run away.

*Sigh*, "don't blame me for this" ordering to offense mode the AA robots simultaneously fire not a missile, or a laser but a different device.

"Warning sys- -" *BOOM*, unstable to even creates an armor the device locks themselves at Arishoks body.

"It's useless, when it hits the target it will automatically disarm the targets energy and even its mechanic. Tho it was originally intended for that woman but this will be of good use." Confident words April thought she holds the upper hand.

"How lucky I was to hold another kind of technology" a maniac voice says April.

In an anguished grinding teeth, Arishok slowly begun to take form of another species.

"Threat detected, switching mode engage",

*System Alert*, "This is bad, this is really bad" in panic with his associates Kevin run towards the craft.

"Did you track him!" Kevin shout

"Shit! It's interfering with the signal!" his associates replies

"Damm it!"

"What now!"

"We need that thing!"

Arms turns to claw; the black regulator begins to expand, swollen forming a serrated curve blade structure as it absorbs the energy produced by the CORE. Spiky hair growth at an astounding rate were a bundle of his hair merge creating two like-antennas resonating, swinging like a cats' tail. Blood swept his eyes coloring it black red. A line of red-light crack his skin creating gamma rays.

Vaporized the device that the AA robots fired at him burns to thin air just as much as around him.

"FIRE!" the commander shout,

A destruction he was known, the time is up for shit to gets real,

"well then, let hell loose"
