Into the Unknown
    A metal room, no windows, no apparent door; I was frightened and cold. I could only hear the feverish scratching of pen upon paper, then the clanging of metal against metal. Then a faint voice, a boy around my age, cried for help, and i yelled back.

~*~
Is anyone there?
This is all I can bear...
I am here,
can you make this clear?
~*~

    He began to cry, i attempted to calm him but i ended up doing the same. I did manage to ask what his name was, although my own was a mystery as well.
I only remember being given a shot walking home through an alley...
     "I'm no sure...you?"
     "I don't know either."
     Then he screamed in fear, a loud "thud" followed. I curled up in the phetal position, nestling into the corner. I shook all over scared that whatever happened  to the boy would happen to me.

~*~
A club in the face,
I hope in my case,
the horror never comes.
while my thoughts beated like drums.
~*~

     A man, old maybe 50, appeared from a secret door I  failed to notice. Instead of struggling i cooperated hoping not to be hit. Instead he gave me a hit of anethstetic, then my eyes slowly closed and everything went black...

~*~
Scared and alone,
sitting, shivering to the bone.
Seeing his face, his eyes,
I remembered the boy's cries.
~*~

I awoke in a chamber-like holding tank. It began to fill with a jelly-like fluid. In which covered my entire body. Then i was imobile. I watched as a scalple cut into my abdomin, but i never felt pain, nor could I hear a thing. He was replacing my digestive system with some sort of mechanical device. Next he was putting computer chips into my cranial cavity, after patching up my previous incision. All I could do was watch in fear as I awaited the next method of torture.

~*~
Blackness
hoping for the best.
Only getting the worst
my hopes suddenly burst.
~*~

     The jelly fluid was gone but, I remained in the chamber. I happened to look over and there in a chamber like mine was the boy and he smiled. Millions of thoughts of killing and destroying rushed through my head. an earring had been placed in his ear, one in each of mine. Then HE appeared again, the hair on my back began to rise. I looked at the boy and the anger and hate in his eyes burned like a fire. he pushed a button, and said a bunch of stuff about killing some man named goku and how we must get back at him for destroying Red Ribbon. but the two of us where to amazed by the power surging through our bodies to notice the names he called us. " #17 and #18"  he yelled again, annoyed by this we tried to kill him, but to no avail, he somehow shut off our bodies with a touch of a button. I remember his name still today...Dr. Gero.After hearing his words of vengence I felt as though I've known this Goku all my life, I wanted to kill him, but I hadn't a reason to.

~*~
Murder, kill?
For this man over the hill.
What is this desire,
This burning fire?
~*~

     He really thought after all that torture we would obey him and only him, oh no not us. I learned there was more to life. We eventually did kill him, But would the nightmare come to a hault?

~*~
Will this horror end?
Will these tought bend?
My memory erased,
My life now hadn't any fate.
