094 A FATHER'S LOVE- A MONSTER'S CREATION
Dan shoved a limp scientist aside, yanked a headset from the unconscious man's ear, and shoved it on.
A crackling voice ca through. "Damnit, we found you at last," Zairgid said over the line.
Dan grabbed the mic, his breath still ragged. "Buddy, were you the one who saved ? How?"
"It was us, idiot," Dorin spat, amusent and relief bleeding through. "Do you think you weren't already in trouble enough? You have to get into even more trouble coming to a monster lab like this."
"It's not my fault this ti," Dan muttered, still furious and still aching in many places.
Lander's voice cut in, sharp and controlled. "What's your status down there? Give us the situation."
Dan told them everything.
"Kaiser and Stacy Qiltera's are running hybrid experints using human as subjects creating alien-synth organisms, they tried to tear my DNA apart in the process", Dan explained.
He kept nothing back… almost.
Silence weighed for a mont, then Lander's tone beca businesslike. "You've done more than enough. Get out of that building. We'll trace the rest from here. Move now."
Dan laughed, a harsh, short sound. "Get out? I don't think so. I'm not leaving until I make that woman—Stacy—pay for what she tried to do to ."

Dan kicked open the steel doors.
Sparks flew from the hinges, and his body glowed faintly blue under the ergency lights. Each breath crackled with static as he stepped into the corridor—a labyrinth of flickering panels and shattered glass tubes, each one containing organs suspended in fluid.
"Where are you, you monster?" he muttered.
A distant scream echoed back.
He followed it through the main laboratory hall—then froze.
Dr. Kaiser Qiltera stood before the Genesis Core, a massive spherical reactor pulsing with deep, electric blue light. Inside it, Stacy knelt, trembling violently, blood dripping from her nose and eyes. Her veins shimred like molten rcury.
"Father—it's too much pain! I can't hold it anymore!" she scread.
"Stay still! The process isn't complete yet!" Kaiser barked, his fingers flying across a control pad.
"You're still running experints at a ti like this? What the hell is this damn machine?" Dan shouted, stepping into the chamber.
Kaiser's eyes widened, fear flashing across his face. "Stop… please."
"Stop you? Why?" Dan asked, his voice low but curious.
"You don't understand! Stacy's body—the alien strain—it's killing her. Her heart is rejecting her. That's why I needed your fusion heart that can survive inside a human body!" Kaiser cried.
Dan's gaze darkened. "What the hell are you doing to her now? Tell , or I'll break that machine."
"Please—I'll tell you," Kaiser stamred. "Before you ca here, we were developing the Genesis Core. It was my last resort to save Stacy—but it's not ready yet."
"Then why put your daughter in it if it's not ready?" Dan demanded.
"She's dying!" Kaiser roared. His voice cracked, and raw with anguish. "She's my daughter! I have no choice. The SIA are already here—once they discover this lab and what we were doing here, they would arrest . Even if I'll be released eventually, it would be too late to save her…. She's dying… This is the only chance I have …. to use the Genesis Core on her!"
At first, Kaiser's plan had been clear: create a human–alien hybrid out of Dan and using his fusion heart, then transplant it into Stacy.
In theory, her body would accept it—it was the perfect heart immune to rejection. She would live.
But the plan had failed.
Dan had shattered that hope, and now the SIA were closing in. Kaiser faced losing everything—his research, the Genesis Core, and his daughter.
But the Core itself, was an untested miracle of science… it was only half-finished.
"We have no choice," Kaiser whispered, almost to himself. "We have to take the gamble."
This was his last resort.
He would never have risked Stacy's life like this if there were any other way. But ti had run out.
The Genesis Core roared to life. Blue lightning burst from its fra, arcing across the lab like furious veins of energy. The air crackled, lights exploded, and the floor trembled beneath their feet.
Then the Core cracked open.
Stacy's body lifted from the floor, her veins erupting out from her body transforming her into a radiant form of a butterfly. Her skin flickered between human and alien textures, her eyes burning gold.
When she opened her eyes again, she was sothing else… sothing terrifying.
Her hair floated as if weightless, and her voice layered over itself—she was now human and alien in perfect, chilling harmony.
"Stacy…your vitals are great", Kaiser scread in joy as he checked his control panels.
"Hell, you actually made it…. turning human into hybrids", Dan marveled.
The experint was successful.
The cancerous mutation inside Stacy's heart was cured. But Stacy had already transford into soone. No…sothing else.
"Dan Dark," she said. "I can feel your blood inside ….Argghhhh."
Stacy's mind was being controlled by blood lust again and this ti the lust was aid straight at Dan.
Stacy turned towards him, "Die…"
With a wave of her hand, the lab exploded outward.
Invisible force sent Dan crashing through a wall of reinforced glass. The impact cracked the floor beneath him, but he rolled to his feet, energy swirling around his arms.
"Fine. Let's finish this," he growled.
Stacy darted forward, faster than light.
Dan's senses barely kept up with her. Her fist sliced through the air, generating shockwaves that tore apart lab benches like paper.
Dan countered, slamming his palm forward—Sonic Wave!
The air detonated between them, throwing sparks and fire in every direction and the floor cratered.
Stacy didn't even flinch. Her hybrid skin rippled, absorbing the sonic blast. "Your sound tricks won't work on anymore," she hissed at Dan, her voice splitting in two.
"Let's see about that," Dan replied.
The next mont Dan was upon her, his leg swirled into a kick that landed on her chest. He unleashed it—Montum Collapse! The kinetic crunch broke Stacy's chest and everything behind her.
"Stop! You'll destroy everything in here! Everything I've ever built," Kaiser scread as all his research and work was destroyed in a mont of battle.
"There can only be one of us alive with this blood!" Stacy scread at Dan, lunging forward.
They collided in midair, their fists clashing like thunder.
Dan's arm shattered under the pressure.
"Damnit… this bitch is strong," he muttered.
But his ta energy surged, knitting bone and muscle as fast as it broke. He flexed his newly healed arm, and in a blur of motion, dashed toward Stacy again, slamming into her with another powerful strike.
The attack tore through her, or so he thought—then wings of liquid tal erupted from her back. She scread, and the walls of the chamber buckled and collapsed, revealing rows upon rows of glass tanks.
"What the hell are these?" Dan cried in horror.
