Love Breaks All Chains

He was back in the same damn laboratory that belonged to those Project: Titan's Spine scientists. What was it that caused them to bring him back? Maybe it had something to do with what had resulted from their previous experiments. Specifically, the Dark Transformation that occurred when Akunin was enraged. During his first experience at Titan's Spine, he had been infected with large quantities of modified chakra that was said to be much darker than standard chakra. According to what he had heard, all past test subjects had died when this new chakra entered their system. However, Akunin survived, and even stuck around to bear the fruits of their labor. Now, he was back in their lab, getting another nice dose of this dark energy.

The scientists had immobilized him by locking his wrists and ankles into restraints that were placed appropriately on a flat, table-like structure. Just above him was a device that was supposed to inject the dark chakra into his body. Overseeing this procedure were two scientists, who clearly seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Everything is set, sir." The first one said.

"Start it up." His superior chimed. "If he survives this one, we may just have our unbeatable shinobi."

With a flick of a switch, the machine would start. Several cables of some sort with sharp edges would come down from the curious machine and pierce Akunin. With a roar of pain, he would try to break free. But alas, the restraints were far too strong. Right after the initial pain, the dark chakra would follow. As if he were being electrocuted, Akunin's body began to spasm from the sudden injection of foreign chakra. Screams filled the room, but no one would be there to deliver the man from his agony.
