The thing about Neddid was, even though he was strong, he was still mortal like anyone else. Only he could have survived with a badly mangled arm and one eye missing, and odd knows what other injuries. Expect an interesting continuation now!

"Not another experiment... okay what's it this time?". The Vykker grinned at his friend. "Haha, I'll tell you. An experimental Slig". The other Vykker raised an eyebrow, "Oh really? What did you give him, a metal arm?". "No way, it's a lot more complex than that".

"Muscle fortifiers, compound analysers, steel plated spine, enhanced vision, enhanced sense of smell, thick skin... THIS is my greatest creation". He revealed a small pulsating egg to the other Vykker. "Hmmmm, well it doesn't look tough yet", the other Vykker laughed, "Even the egg is made of titanium". "You give mad scientists a bad name", the other Vykker sat down on the chair. "Having second thoughts?", "Nah, Just wondering... what exactly is this for?".

"That's the beauty of it, there are multiple possible uses; security, test subject..."

The Vykkers left the room, leaving the egg in the room.

"This time I've programmed him, mentally. He will automatically try to kill as many people as he can". "And you can control that?", the Vykker gave a glance towards the other. "Well, we shall soon find out. I'll raise him to be a killing machine".

Meanwhile, a bunch of Mudokons were chanting in a native village about an hour's walk away. They were practicing a forbidden and dark kind of magic. They have had enough of the nearby factories and wanted to pray to the almighty gods for a miracle. Their bodies began to fade away, as their energies were sacrificed. As their bodies began to disappear into nothing... the egg glowed. The Mudokon's souls departed... the egg shone brighter and brighter. A Vykker headed towards the lab door. The glowing stopped as the Vykker entered the room. The Vykker picked up something from the shelf and walked out of the room.

A godly voice spoke, "Little one, you have been giving the gift of immortality to change the world. You are cursed to forever remain in the mortal realm. Your curse will never be lifted". The godly voice disappeared. The egg moved slightly, but would not hatch for a while yet.

= Back to the Present Day =

The Mudokon, called Neso smiled. "This guy is my ticket out of here, if I can possess him, I can get past the guards!".
Neso started chanting. Suddenly blue light surrounded Imadaeth. He was possessed.

The Mudokon's vision was now obsured with a light red glow. His breathing felt more heavy, and his hands were visibly different. He now had four fingers, and instead of feet, his nerve endings were reacting with the heavy metal pants of the Slig.

"Hmmm, now I have to find somewhere to hide my body for a while". He picked up his Mudokon body, and placed it in a gap in the wall. As soon as he turned around, he heard a strange hissing noise. He turned around to see the Mudokon body behind a pane of glass. "What the?!". The body was being frozen, he watched worryingly, not knowing what to do. He tried to press a button, but the computer voice issued from the panel, "ACCESS DENIED: PROCESS OF FREEZING IS IRREVERSABLE WITHOUT PROPER CLEARANCE". "B-But my body!!! I have to get it back!". He tried to cancel the possession, but he couldn't. With no body to go to, his soul was trapped inside the Slig.

He felt the urge to hit the glass, this was probably Imadaeth's supressed soul, calling out to Neso... trying to get him to kill something. Neso sighed, what have I gotten myself into now?!

A voice inside Neso's head appeared, "Hello there". Neso spun around, but didn't see anyone. "You can't see me. After all, you're inside MY body after all". Neso jumped back in surprise. "You mean, you're the one I'm possessing?!", "Bingo". Neso was visibly confused. "This doesn't normally happen when I possess things...", "Ah, but I am not 'normal' after all". "You mean, that rampaging Slig was you?", "Yup, but I wasn't rampaging. I was just doing my duty", "Killing Sligs is your duty?", "Well... more of a hobby actually".

Neso held out his arm, "Do we share control?", "Unfortunately you are in full control of my body... although I can do a few things". Imadaeth held out his hand. Neso looked shocked, but he retained control and put his arm back by his side. "You can take control whenever you feel like it. But whenever you relax your body, I can take control if I wish... of course when you sleep, then I am also forced to go to sleep as well. Although I can dive into your subconcious and go into stasis for as long as I..."

Neso held his head, "Ouch, too much information man". "Sorry, I tend to do that a lot. My name is Imadaeth by the way". Neso shook out his hand in mock fashion. "I'm Neso". Neso moved the arm as if he was shaking thin air. "Hahaha, very amusing... I think I'll like being controlled by you. This could be fun".

Neso shook his head, no-one is going to believe this...
