The Helix Project

Man is weak! While through countless years of research and evolution, man has successfully established himself as a dominant race in the world, however... man is still weak. What can man do to become stronger? Merge! "We need the ultimate weapons at our command!" The Chief General growled. "If we are ever going to achieve the Empire's conquest, we need unparalleled power!" "We understand" The team said. "Use whatever you need, everything is at your disposal. All we need are results!" The Chief General said. "Understood sir" The team replied. "Project H.E.L.I.X. must not fail, we are pouring all we have into this. The Empire must reign supreme." The Chief General bellowed loudly. "Yes sir" The team saluted. "For the Empire" They all said in unison [Moments Later] Doctor Kurt and Chief General Kangris walked down the hallway of the deep underground structure currently serving as the home base of the project. "Tell me, how long will it take?" Kangris asked expectantly. "Science is unpredictable, so I can't say... But I'd say in a decade..." Doctor Kurt, the old geezer responded. "Old man, we don't have that kind of time. War looms on the Empire, we need the Project to come in handy during this battle to come." The middle aged general responded. "You mean the war the Empire brought on itself?" The Scientist laughed casually. "You can't rush us, General... Great things take great time." "I speak for your sake as well... The Empire has hit the wall on magic and is behind in the arts, compared to the enemy empires, however, what we have are our vast resources and limitless availability of magic beasts and minerals. We have decided to focus our attention on science... But if this project doesn't prove viable, you know the consequences." Kangris spoke sternly. "I am well aware... But have no doubt, It'll be a success... And when it's done... It'll be the most powerful force this world has ever seen." Doctor Kurt said smiling. "I look forward to it!" The Chief General said as he shook hands with the Doctor and nodded. "Well, I best be off to the Royal palace, there are other matters that require my attention. I'll be taking my leave now." Kangris said. "As expected of our Empire's strongest knight, you're a busy man. But don't you worry..." Doctor Kurt responded, smiling. The Chief Knight brought out a scroll from his back pouch and opened it. The rune within it shone orange as a bright light shone and when it subsided the Chief General had vanished. "Guess he has teleported to the palace... Good. Now to start work on my end. Let's make the world's strongest beings!" Doctor Kurt said to himself with a sly smile. Due to the Empire's Grand Conquest and search for power that transcends magic, science surfaced. As a result, the empire used their rarest and most powerful creatures and materials as a base to create beings who transcend both science and magic... The ultimate existence... Homunculi. The Project was successful, and the Empire rose in its conquest and become the world's top world power due to the beings created from the Project H.E.L.I.X. But... On a fateful day... Two of the Homunculi defected from the Empire, causing a disturbance in power. Till today... No one knows what became of the two... Number 09, and number 00.
