❌Hello Friends this is the 3rd installment of my story series that started with my 1st story "Im Scared"
Thank you all in Advance for your support!!!❤❌



Elsa: While You and Jane were busy enhancing the technology to genetically manipulate decaying or deceased cells. Ramon and I have been playing with our own tech.

Ezekiel: What exactly am i looking at? Looks like a mere Host that we send you. Is he sedated?

Ramon: What your looking at is the final process to all of our work Ezekiel. You make the host we make the avatar.

Elsa: Precisely its no secret that our work is banned in every major country for ethical reasons. We quite literally bring back the dead. Once a person dies their soul departs the body, leaving an empty vessel. We rejuvenate the cells and the body comes back to life but void of a soul. When you take away the human soul all thats left is the Human Animal a true Savage. Most hosts wake up scared so they act violently and we still dont understand why they attack conscious Humans.

Ezekiel: Jane and I had a theory on pheromones. Since they are enhanced physically without all the weight of being conscious. Pure animal focused on what they see and hear as opposed to worrying like us humans. oh who am i? why do i exist? why does no one love me? These animals care nothing of that without their souls they're the perfect machine.

Elsa: Exactly and thats where we come in. Here at the Belchite Division we are Phase 2 of Raven Co. We turn your soulless Hosts into Avatars for Buyers to place their souls into the Hosts. Essentially "The Ghost in the Machine".

Ramon: Ezekiel doesn't need to know this...

Ezekiel: Not only do i not need to know what happens beyond my Division, I dont care! all i care about is getting Corippo back up and running.

Elsa: Well anyway lets wake it up, hand me the Corbin Ramon.

Ezekiel: A Corbin?

Ramon: Its a neurotransmitter in the form of Glasses. It allows the micro chip in us to control the nanotech we inject into your hosts.

Ezekiel: You 2 micro chipped yourself? I gotta see this...

*Elsa Sits in a Chair next to the dormant Host. Its a woman nude but bald bruised and abnormal muscle mass and definition

Ramon: When she puts on the Corbin it will begin to connect to her microchip essentially transferring her conscious mind into the host. She will have complete control over it with no consequences whenever the host dies she simply returns to her real body. And any damage done by the host leaves no trail to the controller. We've already sold hundreds to organizations all over the world.

*The corbin looks like a pair of glasses however a single cord does stick out from the bottom right lens that attaches itself behind the earlobe

Elsa: Enough talk here we go

*She turns on the corbin her outter lenses which exposed her eyes go blue like a screen on the inside.

Host: Hello Ezekiel

Ezekiel: Well ill be damned. Impressive i should say, ive only ever seen these damn things act like savages to hear one speak its unsettling.

Host: Exactly now i have complete control im stronger and faster in this body too. I could commit a thousand crimes in this body and it will never fall on "Elsa" so to say.

Ramon: Enough elsa go and Kill those Variants or capture if possible.

Host: Are you not coming?

Ramon: I take pleasure in knowing my technology works, but id much rather spend time in my own body too much time in another desensitized you.

Ezekiel: No youd just rather kill with your own hands Ramon. Either way the sooner we kill them the sooner we can inform el senor of Corippo.

*Elsa takes off in her Host Avatar exiting through a long tunnel

Ezekiel: Is she just going to take off without clothes or weapons?

Ramon: As i said Desensitized, Most Buyers from what im told use them to be the front of major companies and criminal organizations. Puppet masters that reap words and let hosts take the fall. But elsa uses them to act like a damn animal herself fighting other hosts. Theyre significantly stronger but not more durable. until the body dies you can continue to fight with broken bones and deep wounds because the One using the corbin feels no pain.

Ezekiel: Thats maddening i was never one to question the ways of Raven Co i was given Land in Switzerland our neighboring town was a Ghost town. Money Food and endless time to work on my craft. Do you think it'll be difficult cleaning up Corippo?

Ramon: Im not sure Ezekiel i dont know how long this organization has functioned. If were the first to ever work, this is a 1st for the company aslong as you followed protocol they cant escape and theyll send mercenaries for sure.

Ezekiel: What will you do with the boy?

Ramon: He will get injected with our new nanobots meant for Hosts who still have their souls. He will begrudgingly follow commands but he will follow them. We need a driver and id rather not go through the legal mess of getting a new person into the young mans home. Its already located perfectly in a remote part of the river and close to Belchite. He will do

*In another area of the church lie the prison cells. This area is not futuristic instead it relies on the foundation of the ruins of Belchite. plywood and old bricks make up the building and rusted iron rods are the cell doors. Sergio Awakens

Sergio: (Ohhhh my face is in pain, where am i? I cant think straight)

*Sergio sits in silence for a few minutes in the darkness of the cells. Most of the cells had gaping holes in their walls revealing the outside, destruction from the wars no doubt. Sergios cell was probably in the best condition and thats saying something even his cell had a hole in it that could look far out into the country. But too small for sergio

Sergio: *Begins to cry uncontrollably
My father..... She really shot him
*Screams of agony

*Sergio enters a blind sorrow and rage running himself into the walls and iron rods punching them screaming yelling in pain

Variant Host: *Growling
grrrraaaaaahhh
*Begins slamming body against the wall behind sergios cell

Sergio: Come on you bastard!!
*Sergio stands there with brick in hand

*The savage variant keeps slamming itself into the wall, the bricks begin to give. With one last slam the variant breaks through falling to the ground. Unable to get up because its arms and hands have been broken from the constant slamming

Sergio: * Walks up to the Variant
Damn you're ugly

*whack, whack , whack
Sergio unleashes several blows to the creatures head

Sergio: Nows my chance i have to go!

*Sergio takes off through the hole the variant created, he runs towards an empty field heading to the tree line of the forest.

Sergio: I must make it to the river ill follow it back home. I can hear those beasts coming

*Off in the distance the growling can be heard of the creatures but it sounds like they're fighting something or someone already.

Sergio: ( Im in so much pain i must make it to the river)

Host: Not so fast little boy!!!

*Sergio looks behind him to see a female creature sprinting towards him. Shes nude bald and bleeding her arms swinging uncontrollably theyre broken at the elbow both of them, whats worse shes smiling

Sergio: Ahhhh what the hell is that!!

*Sergio looks forward sprinting as fast as he can

Host: I've got you
*with an incredible leap elsa takes down sergio by throwing herself into him

*Sergio tumbles to the ground getting knocked down from behind. The host jumps and wildly starts head butting sergio

*Whack, whack , Pop
.
.

Host: *walks in circles before collapsing to the ground

*Sergio lies there in a pool of blood his nose broken teeth loose..

*Back Inside La Iglesia

Elsa: Fuck what just happened.

Ramon: Back so soon where is your host body? Not a single variant captured?

Elsa: No Ramon not a single one captured you know i like to have my fun. But someone shot my vessel i almost finished killing the boy.

Ramon: The Boy! How did he escape??

Elsa: I maybe watched a variant break into his cell hoping he'd kill him for me, but the boy managed to kill it. i chased him down but was stopped short.

Ezekiel: We must recover him he knows too much

Ramon: He doesnt know anything lets head for the jeep

*The 3 Raven Co employees head for a jeep in pursuit to recover sergio

Unknown Man: Get up kid we have to go

Sergio: *Dazed with blood in his eyes
Just let me be

UM: Can't do that i need your intel no one has ever entered a Raven Co facility and lived to tell. Im sorry about your father but im your best bet.

Sergio: Who even are you?

UM: Names Valentine, Jason Valentine id be happy to answer more questions later but we have to leave now.

Sergio: How do you plan on leaving

Valentine: Ok boys drop the ropes

*Suddenly a jet reveals itself right above us it was camouflaged and its engine completely silent. Valentine helps sergio and the two men are pulled into the jet and it takes off rapidly

Elsa: Damn it were too late!!!

Ramon: I guess i should've joined you

Ezekiel: Who exactly were they?

Elsa: An intelligence agency trying to gather information on our secret projects. Even though we legally sell vaccines alot of gov't started sending spies to attempt and infiltrate our secret division. When Raven Co started to make those people go missing. The order of Crows formed dropping subliminal threats like "we are watching"

Ramon: What a mess its time to get El Senor involved the young man saw too much and the crows have him now.

*Aboard the Order of Crows

Sergio: Where are we going?

Valentine: Were going to HQ there we will fill you in and you can help us end Raven Co

Sergio: Anything to avenge my father.....

Fin
