In a cold room, lies a creature in a slumber as he lives his days trapped here, but he feels solace in that fact. His eyes blink for a second as he wakes up to a nugget entering his chamber to perform work with him. The nugget then proceeds with the procedures as usual, and the creature has gotten used to these nuggets and often scares them for his own amusement. Sudden noises ring from the corridor outside as a few abnormalities has broken out, and the nugget working in his chamber has a worried expression like that of the fear of death. He tried to conversate with the nugget but made it worse as his voice wasn't human like.
The nugget uses the E.G.O (Extermination of Geometrical Organ) equipment (Magic Bullet) to blast his head off as most nuggets do when they go insane in front of him. He sighs at the scene, 'How many times has this occurred...' His earlier enjoyments fade from his face as he recounts how many weak nuggets, he has indirectly killed due to insanity.
He feels emotions so familiar to humans yet can't verbally express these emotions to most. He lays his head back down to wait until the next nugget arrives to work in his room. He hears the noises of goodbyes and music as the rouge abnormalities devastate the facility before being contained.
A few hours pass
The facility begins to shake as an unknown group of people invade the facility. He gets up from his earlier resting position. 'Chaos after chaos, what is it this time?' He's tempted to leave his chamber to check out the situation with also other abnormalities breaching containment. So, he does. He lurks in the shadow while watching a red-haired girl who he knows as Kali fighting a black-haired girl with a tinge of yellow.
He watches as they fight toe to toe with Kali, swinging a sword made of flesh while the black-haired one launches pillars and yellow like slashes at her inflicting heavy wounds on her. Eventually Kali loses an arm but continues fighting determinedly to protect the facility. The black-haired one proceeds to also gouge out one of her eyes, yet Kali continues to throw attacks out with precision until finding an opening and plunging her sword through her torso onto a wall.
Then, Kali finally relaxes and falls to the ground, losing her life while the black-haired one tries to move but slowly dies to her blood loss during her fight with Kali. He finally takes a step out to get a closer look before being spotted by Ayin, the director of the facility. Although he does induce madness to weak people like some of the nuggets, he remembers having chatted with Ayin often.
"01, why don't you head back to your chambers." Ayin speaks in a quiet voice with a hint of authority in it. He backs off as Ayin goes to retrieve the two bodies, "So what happened here exactly?" Ayin ignores his question as he drags the bodies to wherever the testing place is. 'Should I just kill him?' He had his hand in a motion, imagining his hand slicing right through Ayin's neck, but in the end, scoffs at the idea of murdering him due to his understanding of Ayin. After all, he has lost many friends in this facility.
He slowly makes his way back to the chamber as he passes by the abnormalities that were being contained. The nuggets mostly ignored him due to his passiveness, and they knew not to try to converse with him.
One of the abnormalities always peaked at his attention, so he stops at its current body on the floor after being suppressed by Kali. This abnormality from what he could tell could mimic the aspects of humans that he devoured while also being rated Aleph and named Nothing There. He hasn't used his ability in quite a bit but after lots of contemplation he decides to absorb a part of the abnormality into himself, allowing him to gain some of its power. Nothing There still exist as an abnormality, but now a part of its power is ingrained into him.
He exits the chamber with newfound power as he adjusts his voice with the mimicry like powers that synchronizes with his already attached voice. His voice is now a perfect mimic of human speech with no distortion. But this also in turn absorbed a portion of Nothing Theres blood lust like mindset. As he feels the effects of wanting to kill. He turns to one of the nuggets and rips them apart ruthlessly like all his human empathy disappeared.
This unexpected turn puts the rest of the nuggets on high alert as each one gets ready to contain him. His mind goes completely blank as he murders most of the nuggets in his path until he's completely exhausted. He wakes up worriedly with his body changing as he touches his human-like body now.
Ayin walks in after seeing his change of attitude and appearance, "01, what did you do?" He doesn't look happy one bit, "I just-" Ayin interrupts him, "Never mind, did I not tell you to never use that power?"
Flashback
"Carmen, what is this thing?!" Ayin yells at a girl with bewilderment of such a creation. "Ayin, calm down this could be the key to everything." She lifts the little thing, "It doesn't just absorb, Ayin, it integrates a part of the being into himself." She continues, "In the end, this could help us extract the cogito in an efficient manner letting us create the Seed of Light sooner."
"After all, understanding the abnormalities needs is key to the cogito." She puts the little thing into Ayins' arms. After, a few minutes of contemplating whether to agree or not to. He sighs and decides to support her idea of using this special abnormality.
Although, it was right at the time, at first his mindset didn't get clouded by the abnormalities but eventually eating in his mind. His personality took a dark twist as he was more prone to aggression. It got to the point where he had to be contained like the rest of the abnormalities.
Carmen would visit often to control his raging emotions at the same time Carmen was starting to doubt her work after being criticize for getting one of the people in the project killed. He felt all the crashing of emotions disappear when she appeared and adored her as a mother figure. So, when Ayin would visit him with bad news, "Carmen killed herself, and she told me one last thing: Never use your power again." He didn't take it well as his thoughts were now being amplified.
He couldn't fathom why Carmen would kill herself because he could never see through the facade she created, so that she could calm down his rage. His emotions bubble up and then chaos.
Present
"I can't fear using my powers forever, Ayin." His new voice perfectly capturing his current determination. Ayin sighs outwardly, not wanting to argue with a ticking time bomb. "I have something to show you, 01." Ayin leaves the chamber as 01 follows behind him.
They pass by a lot of tubes, all leading to one place. He looks up in shock at what he sees, "Ayin, what are you planning!" He gives Ayin a dead glare. "I'm going to remake Carmen." Ayin touches the case that holds the recreation in the image of Carmen.
01 grabs Ayin by force, "Have you fallen so low as to do something like this..." He lets go of him, "She's dead Ayin, let her rest." Ayin looks determined to continue, and 01 gives up on him and plans to destroy the case.
"01, don't you dare," Ayin grabs his shoulder but gets thrown across the room as 01s emotions run wild again. He looks up at the face that lies in the case and doesn't feel any attachment to it, yet his body won't move. He couldn't understand the hesitation, his mind willed it, yet his body didn't.
Ayin gets up and slowly limps over to him, "So you can't do it either?" Ayin calls for some nuggets to suppress him. As 01 is dragged away by the nuggets, Ayin asks him for one last favor and once it's done, he wouldn't need to return to the facility if he chose not to.
The favor he asked for was to help out in a war that would remove the current Lobotomy Corporation so that Ayin could take over. This was all to hide their activities from the head so they wouldn't send an arbiter like the one he saw fighting kali.
He sits in chamber with his mind in distraught; he wallows in the cell for a long while. And no nuggets try to work with anymore as if any of them entered they would be killed instantly. As time passes, his mind finally stable decides to take the favor Ayin asked for as a final goodbye.
He breaks out of his chamber and makes his way out of the facility at astonishing speed ignoring all the nuggets. He stops at a few abnormalities to absorb, but they didn't take kindly to him getting too close, so he had to suppress them while also starting to feel the vast number of emotions.
He keeps his mind sane enough because of his wallowing in the cell he has gradually become better at controlling the emotions, but he was still a ticking time bomb. He makes his way out again, breaking out of the facility as Ayin had instructed him where to go through the facility intercoms.
He makes his way to the already started war as he spots the huge conflict; he stops suppressing the emotions as he enters. Although he was here to help take down the current Lobotomy Corporation. He killed with no care. The many soldiers viewed him as a rouge human killing every single person with no difference of enemy or ally.
Blood flew into the air as countless soldiers die to this nightmare. His body covered in the blood of all of them completely drenched which just edges his emotions even more. Tears fall yet he continues, his body shakes yet keeps ripping, his mind destroyed yet killing efficiently.
Injury after injury he keeps going until nothing is left in his sight. He stops for a bit as he breathes heavily. At some point, some of the enemies started to work with the allies to stop him. Some started running, some called for help, but they were all killed the same.
Someone watches him closely from far away, "Who is that?" They mumble to themselves as they have knowledge beyond most. They think for a moment about whether they should step in or not. After a few more minutes, they step into the battlefield.
The moment that person entered the battlefield, he turned his head to them sensing the malice coming from them. He rushes towards the person and attacks with many openings between each one. The person counter attacks every open area slowly dwindling him down. His mind was also slowly coming back to him as he could attack more precisely but even then, he barely knew how to fight.
Even with his body regenerating it couldn't keep up with this person numerous skilled attacks. Finally, he was fatigued enough to the point where he could barely move. His eyes focus back as his emotions stop running rampantly.
'I guess this is where i die, heh?' His memories run through his whole life and finally with his own emotions he feels the guilt of taking so many lives. So much remorse, and for the first time in his life he cried in his mind from his own volition. He tries to make out the figure before falling into a deep slumber.
The person approaches his body with a plan in mind, "Maybe just maybe, you have potential." The person lifts him onto their shoulder before moving to a secluded place to which he could rest at.
