Genome: Chapter 1

*presentation*

Woman: Cancer, AIDS, mental handicaps, brain malfunctions, cripple born babies. These were all incurable disabilities. Those are now the past. Here at Gene co. we are on our way to making these diseases and disabilities just a whisper in the wind. We are developing a nation of perfect human beings or 'Homo-Ultimus'. A step even beyond that of 'homo-Evolutis'. Instead of making super humans with enhanced capabilities, we are making perfect humans capable of anything. Other companies claim to target an aspect of human talent and improve it to make them the best basketball player, doctor, fireman, singer, writer, actor, or anything else you choose for your child. Here at Gene co. we will perfect everything the human body and mind has to offer and more. This is something you don't want to miss out on. Being parents we all want what is best for our children, and we would be letting them down if we deprived them of their best possible future. Now ladies and gentlemen, I give you our father and founder of Gene co. Ferris Milal...

(Audience Applauds*)

*Science Lab*

Milal: Run test 43 on subject 28; shadow.

Scientist: You don't think we've done enough for today? He's just a child.

Milal: I SAID RUN IT!!

scientist: Yes Sir.

*After testing*

Milal: How do you feel shadow?

Shadow: Feeling good Dr. Looking forward to starting the advance sets.

Milal: Yes, yes, good. I wish your brother had the same drive.

Shadow: Yea, so how is he doing anyways?

*Other lab*

(explosion)

Scientist: LOOOAAATTHE!!! Will you proceed as...

CPU: Computer system emergency shut down

Milal: So how are you performing 25?

Loathe: come on doc, why do you always call me that? You know it hurts my feelings.

Milal: OK enough with the jokes 25, are you ready for novice training yet?

Loathe: Absolutely!

Milal: What makes you so sure?

Scientist: Because he broke the beginner stage, he'll have to train in novice. All the new recruits will have to deal with the outdoor training.

*Office*

Lawyer: I think we need to trash project 25 sir.

Milal: Oh? And why is that?

Lawyer: He is costing us way too much money, especially for the time its taking him to advance. 28 is one week away from fieldwork. 25 should be at the same level. He's already 15 years old.

Scientist: I think he can be of great use to us. No one has gotten through the basic course with his scores.

Lawyer: Yes and that's after being there for how long?

Milal: Well why not ask his brother?

*Shadow walks in*

Milal: What do you think Shadow?

Shadow: Put him in the field with me after i complete the advance set.

Lawyer: this is ridiculous, SCRAP HIM! He's nothing! A RECALL!

Scientist: Well Shadow is our fastest progressing experiment ever. Best scores, fastest times, and most stealthy.

Lawyer: But...

Milal: I'll allow it

Lawyer: WHAT!?

Milal: If anything goes wrong, he's your responsibility Shadow.

Shadow: Yes sir.

*Dorm room*

Loathe: Whaats up BRO??

Shadow: You're going in the field with me next week.

Loathe: YESS! I knew the doc would come to his senses

Shadow: It was at my request.

Loathe: Huh?

Shadow: They wanted to scrap you Loathe.

Loathe: Shit, they can try!

Shadow: You need to stop acting up. This field work is your last chance, and if you fail they'll scrap us both.

Loathe: Oh yea, like they'd ever scrap goodie goodie #28, the golden boy.

*2 years later*

(EXPLOSION)

25: Ohhh, that makes my 63rd kill. And your only at 61

28: Yea but mine where stealthy. EVERYONE heard your's.

25: Oh whatever, here take this guy

*Car screeches*

25: He's getting away

28: Set me up!

*Both run toward car*

25: Alright go.

*Loathe flips coin into the air in front of windshield*

*Shadow shoots coin*

*Bullet ricochets off coin at angle towards windshield*

*Bullet hits guy in forehead, car crashes*

28: 62!

*Lab*

Scientist: We're getting an ID from the sighting.

Milal: And?

Scientist: Just as suspected. Its 32 and 13.

Milal: Ahh 16, I thought we disposed of him?

Scientist: That was the 11th unit's job

Milal: Well apparently they failed. What's there relation?

Scientist: 32 was 13's apprentice.

Milal: I guess we'll have to fix this complication. Call Shadow and 25. Tell them to take care of it, and to not return without the heads of 32 & 13!

*City streets*

25: Mannnn. 2 rouge assassins trained by the same people who trained us, same methods, same tactics... Haaa this is SO exciting!

28: Would you stop? Don't under-estimate them. You know what goes on at Gene Co. Besides, I've heard about number 13

25: I heard he was scrapped. I knew those disposal crews were a joke.

28: Listen!

25: I wonder why he wants his head?

28: Shut up! That's them!

25: Haha he's so small.

28: Don't underestimate them. They were gene co trained, just like you and me.

25: Yea, and about to get scrapped.

25: So how you wanna get em? Coin trick? Metal playing cards, BOMB!?

28: Would you be serious?

25: Fine... Fuck it, I'll just use the gun!

*13 looks back*

*28 & 25 hide*

28: He knows he's being followed.

25: Bullshit! There's no one who can detect us.

*13 walks in warehouse*

25: Come on, lets get em!

28: Wait!

*Loathe runs, Shadow follows*

*They walk into dark warehouse*

*Light comes on, 32&13 come out*

13: Who are you? Why are you following me?

28: Just came to trash a couple traitors.

13: Traitors? You mean Gene co? I knew it was only a matter of time. Who are you?

28: I am Shadow

13: Ahh project 28, all grown up. I remember when you were in a test tube.

28: You know nothing of me!

13: Oh but i do Shadow. You are the breakthrough, the first of millions!

25: Hey hey hey, there are two of us OK?

13: 25 i presume? You are nothing. With twins, only one child inherits 'the gene'.

28: Enough!! We have come here to kill you, and we intend to do just that!

13: Still under their control i see? You know they are only using you

28: Loathe! Lets do this!

25: Yesss! i thought i was guna fall asleep, like into a coma, like i was...

28: LOATHE!

25: Right! Lets dance panzies!

13: You're making a mistake.

28: You're a coward!

*Shadow & 13 shoot at each other*

*All the bullets hit each other*

*Fight scene fill in later*

*End of fight 13&32 on floor*

*25&28 beaten and bloody*

13: You are making a mistake!

28: SHUT UP!! I am from Gene co. I work for Mr Milal. I am Shadow, the greatest project Gene co has ever SEEN!

13: Don't you ever wonder about your mother?

25: OOOO he said somethin' bout yo mama... Hey.. Wait... That's my mama too asshole!

13: Listen to me! They need to be stopped Shadow. We are the same, brothers.

25: Keh hem, I am his brother!

28: Finish him Loathe...

25: Gladly (spins sword)

*Cuts both of their heads off*

*Genome lab*

*Shadow holding head of 13 by the hair*

*Loathe tossing around head of 32"

Milal: Very good!
