We were at a bar half a mile from where we once were. We disappeared fairly quickly from the area of the incident as to not get caught. The new cafe, Coffee House, which we were now in, was passably new. With the nice XL-R cushion chairs placed in the main hall and a crystal table in the center, Naiomi and I were somewhat comfortable... for now.

I lifted my eyebrow. "So you DID hack into the NSA Mainframe Comp! That's the only way that you could have known how many people were in that place. Anyway, I used my... 'power' to atomize the island. I have this... unique power that no one in the history can acquire..."

She suddenly smiled with great doubt. "Don't bullshit me. I-"

"You know NOTHING about ME!" I bellowed. People were now turning around and looked at us. She glanced around nervously. My voice was echoing loudly through the concrete hallways. "You think, that spending years underground, being studied by idiots can achieve NOTHING?"

Naiomi opened her mouth, then closed it.

I carried on. "It is your fault, your species' fault that I am created! Due to the fact that your arrogance and your lust for power have killed thousands of innocent lives, you still think that I am nothing but a mouse for testing!" I could faintly hear the buzzing began to grow in my head. "And you know something else? All of you humans blamed YOUR mistakes onto ME!"

"I've never thought about that! And I've never blamed anything on you! I didn't even know that you are... a mutant!"

"YES!" I screamed. Now those humans were walking toward us, confused. "YES! I am a freak! A mutant that cannot come to your equal!" I stopped, sucked in a breath forcefully while staring down at the shiny floor. Looking up slowly, I gave Naiomi a small smile. A true smile. A smile that was filled with emotions. "It is because I like you, that I am now giving you a chance to escape as far away as you can. I intend to clear the human race off the surface of this planet, Earth. All other species are not my concern. You may warn them beforehand. But mark this: I will kill each and every single one of you."

I heard gasps coming from all directions. I looked around and for the first time, I noticed that I was surrounded by a group of strong-looking men. Some held weapons and others were barehanded. One of them held a radio and was talking into it.

"Yeah! We got the maniac right here! On level six, sector G!"

I sneered at them. Pointing at them, I said with a cold voice, filled with hatred and anger: "It's time for you all to die."

Before Naiomi could say anything, I unleashed my wrath. People were like dolls, being flung backward from my sudden burst of energy. Glasses vibrated a little before they shattered with pellucid crashing sounds. Tubes of lights exploded with several bangs. I could hear she screaming with fright. One person tried to jump me from behind. I whipped around and touched his forehead with my palm. With a yelp, his head exploded into millions of tiny little pieces. She slumped onto the smooth floor, gaping at the slaughter before her eyes.

My hand was covered in blood. Blood. So rich in red. A liquid that resembled death. I chortled with glee. When a gun barrel was pointing at my temple, I froze. Dropping my hands down my sides, I slowly faced her.

"So what now?" I asked. "You are going to kill me?"

Hands trembling, she gulped.

"Come on then," I urged. "Shoot me. Once you kill me, the world will be safe again."

Her finger was on the trigger. Yet, it didn't move, only shaking with quandary.

"Go ahead. Shoot me. Or is it because you are not up to it?"

"You... you..." she started to speak, but her words were caught in her mouth, unable to travel into my ears.

Immediately, I grabbed her gun with my left hand in one swift motion. It cracked, shattered and littered onto the dusty floor. She jumped back with a jerk.

"You are a monster," Naiomi whispered with wide eyes. "You are not human."

"Correct. I am nothing basically. I am just a bunch of organisms combined together to form what I am today." I sighed. "You guys shouldn't have made me. You guys shouldn't have used me for tests. You guys shouldn' t have abandoned me. Exploring my body all over, and this is the thanks that I get?"

Outside, Emergency Units were slowly closing in on my position. I could ethereally hear the warning sounds blasting away on the streets. I could even hear the soldiers' footsteps; so organized, so full of confidence. All of which I shall obliterate into chaos and havoc.

She grabbed my arm. "No. There is still a way. Let me talk to them. Let me tell them that there's been a mistake, that... that you are puzzled about the concept of right and wrong. They will understand. We can be together once again when the right punishment is given!"

Prying off her hands, I gently kissed her on the forehead. "No. The only discipline that I will receive is death. I cannot die until I have watched the ones who have made me suffer, die. I have no love, I have no family as shown in the books."

She was about to reply when I shoved her aside.

While walking to the back of the room, with spectators moving away from me with extreme caution, I glanced back at the stunned police. Grimacing, I said to her: "It's no use to delay me or to keep me in the same place anymore with your 'sweet talk'. It won't work. I am leaving now." Looking at the others, I gave a slight bow. "Death to you all, have a nice day."

*******************************

Now I was finally alone. Alone in a world full of grieve, anger, and hatred. I had no destinations. I had no destinies. Perhaps only one: find and destroy. Was it possible that my future was predestined? Was I, supposed to have some kind of genocide? Why must I endure this kind of pain, this kind of torture?

Walking slowly on the streets, lowering my head to avoid detection, I was pondering about all these events. I presumed that I was originally wild, full of danger and had extreme temper. Could this be my nature? No... it couldn't be...

When I saw another patrol car, the tenth one since I left Naiomi Goden, I dodged into a narrow side street. Filled with filth of every kind, I tried not to barf. After all, if I must survive in this modern city, then I had to adapt. Adaptation was the key to survival.

I sighed after going through all those things over and over again in my confused mind. First thing first. I needed to get out of the megalopolis. But how could I get pass the security gates near the entrance and exit gates of the giant dome?

Just I thought about this problem, an alien crashed into me. I was dazed for a second before seeing a choleric manager scolding something in a different language at the person on top of me. I struggled to get up.

"Irrivea reeiiveaa!" he said as he got up immediately and bowed toward me. I frowned with displeasure. He yelled something back to the fat overseer. The manager muttered as he walked back into the store and slammed the metal door shut.

"I don't understand what you are talking about..."

He cocked his head a little, then his green almond-shaped eyes brightened with understanding. "Ah! You speak Universal then?"

"Universal? What's that?" I replied with a question of my own. Brushing away the dirt, I rubbed my bruised neck. "I am from out of town."

Nodding, the alien grinned. I could see the sharp fangs in his mouth. Taller than me, waaaay taller than me, he had no hair. Dark blue skinned with spikes running down his bare back from the top of his head, muscles were bulging out from the chest and biceps. Four long tube-like things shot out from the side of each forearm and drooped downward. Fingers were like claws, knifelike and powerful looking. He wore a dark green trouser with an old brown belt around his waist. He didn't have shoes on, which, judging by the looks of his reptilian-like feet, didn't need any. He wore a small Blaster on the belt.

"I am sorry bumping into you," his deep, smooth voice sounded. "I got thrown out by the manager for not paying for the food that I ate. However, I did do some work for him before lunch. My name is Wriikaalien Quaiirhjy. You can call me Wriik for short."

"No credits?" I was somewhat surprised. "By the way, my name is Jake."

"Oh, no. I have lots of credits. Oh, and nice to meet you, Jake. But... you know how it goes lately down here. We try not to pay whenever we can. Saves us some more money this way," he explained quickly.

I sighed. "So you are doing illegal things."

"I wouldn't put it that way. Think of it as... a good way to build up your credits," he smiled as his green eyes shined with brilliance. "So, you are not from here, eh?"

"Yeah. I am kinda lost right now as to what to do. I have... some plans that I need to make before my demise."

He laughed. "You sound as if you are going to die soon."

Patting me on the back with his large hand, he guided me out of the alley. I could feel his claws digging into my skin. Before we could continue talking, I felt the sudden urge to run. But I knew I had no time, so I pulled Wriik down onto the gravel with me as a white laser beam skimmed across above our heads. A small explosion occurred as sparks were flying around us. Debris dropping and clattering onto the ground beside us.

"Run!" I screamed as I pulled his arm with force.

"What the uvviirah is that!" Wriik mixed up the Universal with his own language as panic overtook his mind. He ran with me.
