Weird Science(Moogle&Jamie)

Two people were to join the ranks of the Cadets that night, Julius had been informed one of the new recruits was a special case, an android made specifically to combat demons and aid the cadets. Admittedly, the prince was curious to see how it would fare during the initiation. The other as far, as he was concerned, was a regular human being. Regardless, prince Julius patiently awaited for their arrival...

He was waiting for this, it was about time. Joseph was anxious when his feet finally hit the floors of the Class Zero building. Tonight was an evening of challenge and fortitude. As the first Kerrigan to offer his service to the Queen, no one in his family had any idea what to expect to pass the test. But for all the years he spent training his body and studying, it was time to put it to the test.

Jackie was absolutely certain he wasn't ready for this. He hadn't been ready four years ago, and he wasn't ready now. Still, Boss had put his name forth for the test, and Jackie couldn't refuse. He arrived on time, not even bothering setting up his emulated personality. He hadn't even been able to attack practice dummies all those years ago. This time wouldn't be too different, as far as he was concerned. He at least understood that he hadn't grown very much...though Boss had insisted there was 'Something that hadn't been there before', which Jackie didn't buy into. He entered, calmly, and without any indication of emotion. "IBX-GTL-GUN reporting." He greeted. He stopped in the middle of the room.

Julius nodded at the recruits as they entered Class 0, he then stood up from his seat, giving the two a stern and intense stare.


"Now tell me, why you wish to join our ranks?"

It was like a job interview, but there was a gravity towards it. He respectfully presented himself with a bow. Joseph kept his composure and his veneer of subservience. People at the top desired dutiful and obedient lackeys. He figured the Cadets weren't that different, the same with this so lauded Prince.

"The reason for my very creation was to protect this city. It is my prime directive. I have been directed by my creator to formally join, after my 'adjustments'. I am fully prepared to be destroyed in the line of duty." Jackie stated, plainly. He would do his duty for Endymion, no matter what. Refusing was simply not an option for him, and he had...nothing else to fall back on. There wasn't exactly anything personal about his reasoning, but...it was his reason all the same. "Former failures during initial testing shall not be repeated." The other models in his line had passed...now it was his turn...maybe. Honestly, he still fully doubted he'd actually succeed, but he was prepared to try...

Julius folded his hands after the two spoke, they were people of duty and he could feel Joseph's burning ambition, real interesting. How far it would take both has yet to be seen, now it's time to test if they have the potential to fight.


After Joseph drank from the blood, he'd feel a sweet taste touch his lips, however soon something unpleasant was about to come. Breathing would become a hard and painful exercise, his body would be overtaken by the unending agony. His skin would crack and piece by piece it would fall on the ground, shedding his previous life and being born anew.

As for the Android, he'd have the blood of the Queen poured into the very thing that gave him an identity, an ego. Soon he too would be afflicted with the same pain as Joseph.

The Blood of the Queen awoke the two recruits to the power within them, they could feel it in their back of their minds. Joseph's however was violent, it was as if it was clawing it's way out desperately fighting for freedom...

Spoiler:

Joseph followed his orders with his knees bent and descending to kneel. He found it weird that this was what started the process. Ceremony wasn't exactly what he expected for a government institution unless it was to confer a very high rank. But then again, even some recruits in the officer corp do get some of these.


After taking in the blood as prompted, the pain was unbearable. Was it poison that he took in? What the hell was this guy's problem? His mind was racing at first before slowing to a mere lull of sheer pain. Then it finally stopped before feeling a rush of unnatural power coursing through him after one last gash of agony through his head.  An ethereal being was summoned silently floating near him as he stared at it with awe and surprise.


So, this was the power of the Cadets. While awe filled him, he could feel excitement and the goals of his ambition come even closer. This was only the beginning.

Current Stats:

Jackie winced, as the blood touched his 'heart' falling to one knee. Right. It was finally time to see if he had actually improved, over the last few months. There was something strange, data filled in, and then...changed. Into something he couldn't even hope to analyze.

"Contract. The illogical glitches shall be brought to the justice they deserve. All errors in this world must be corrected. Through this power we share, we must protect this city. I am thou...and thou art I." Jackie winced, as the voice in the back of his head spoke up. "Call my name, and never be obsolete again." As Jackie got back to his feet, something changed. What was what emulated become far more real, and behind his glasses, his eyes gained a bit more life, a reddish mist appearing behind him.

"X.A.N.A.!" He called, voice full of emotions that had never truly been there before. The mist took on a more solid form, starting with a flowing red eye, and expanding to an entire mechanical body.

Starting Stats:

Jackie turned his attention to the zombies, his soulbound appearing in his right hand, seemingly just a plain, black bag...though far more heavy than it looked.
