Prototype: Evolution
Chapter 1
Alex met himself on a hard metallic bed. He did not open his eyes for a long time as he was scared of dying as he couldn't leave his brother alone in this harsh world.

"Alex Mercer, also Zeus has been captured. Will begin experiment immediately", the voice of a man said.
(Alex Mercer??, My surname is Prince. I'm Alex Prince, What's going on here?? ), he thought.
He slowly opened his eyes but immediately closes it because of the blinding impact of the light above him. He sees two people clothed in hamzat suit slowly approaching him slowly with scapels in their hand.

He opened his eyes after adjusting to the brightness of the light. He quickly got up from the table and jumped down. Dashing towards the entrance he tried to scale over the wire mesh gate.
As he jumped, he felt a sudden influx of strength as he leaped over the 3 metres high gate.
(Woah. What the heck was that just now.), he thought.
He didn't put much thought into it but kept running. He hid in an alley as his heart was beating madly.
Out of nowhere, two soilders came towards him. Trapped he screamed, "What the hell is this, who are you people?"

They payed him no heed and one of they said, "Permission to fire, Over"
After a while both of them raised their weapons towards him.
"Oh shit!!,"he screamed.
A barrage of bullets penetrated him as he fell down.
But there was something weird that happened next, he slowly stood up.
(What the heck was that just now. Why didn't I die. No time to think), he thought.

He quickly jumped towards one of them and punched towards his neck.
He flew some metres away and blood flowed from his body. The second one was alerted and raised his gun. Alex jumped on him and pushed his face brutally. Brackish strands of symbiotic material came out of his body and absorbed the body of that person.

As he was about to stand up, his head suddenly hurt as a sudden influx of memories pass through his eyes.
"Arrgh", he griped his head in misery.

After some seconds, the pain subsided. He stood up and tried walking forward.
"Huh?? ", he froze as he saw that his body looked exactly like the body of the man he just killed.
"Can it be?.....Not it mustn't.... I have to wake up.....Shape-shifting... Black anorak??", he shouted.
He jumped up and found out that he could jump close to 4 metres high.
He punched a building and a big hole was imprinted on the building.
"Alex Mercer?. Oh Shit. Am I in prototype", he said.
(My life just got lot more interesting. I gotta find a way to get back or accept my fate as a symbiote.)

"Oh... This is quite interesting. I am Prototype .I'll have to make use of my chances well. Getting stronger is the only thing that can guarantee my safety", he thought out loud.
He raced towards a building, running along the walls at an incredible speed. Wherever his feet touched will be broken.
He squatted as he looked around the city from a bird's-eye view.

"I propose the first thing I have to do is rescue Alex's.... my sister. At least she seems to the the brainy one in the game. I'm not at peak form now. So I will have to be extra careful", he said and jumped down.
