New law of Beast Taming

Sakura was stunned to see the body in front of her. It looked vaguely human and had piercing eyes. If not for the wild animal-like quality of this body's making, Sakura would have mistaken her for Aqua's twin.

But there was dangerous air and smell about this new person. She behaved like an apex predator who was comfortable in her skin and instincts.

"Y-You! What have you done to her? You were supposed to recover this part of me inside my head, not give it a new body. Hurry up and return this part to me."

Aqua seemed to be having an episode. She looked at Professor Ross with a betrayed expression and then turned toward her twin with longing in her eyes. Her hand rested on her double's chest and Aqua leaned against her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

For her effort, all Aqua got was a blank stare and a cold look directed back at her. It did not seem as if the female in front of them was responsible enough to talk back to them.

"Hmm, you can talk to subject Alpha here and convince her to come back to you. But I doubt that she would listen to you. My dear child only listens to me, right?"

The collar around the naked body flashed once before the artificial human came to life and nodded.

Subject Alpha looked toward the Professor with naked interest in her eyes and held still. She seemed to be waiting for her orders to be told to her before acting.

"H-How dare you do this to me? Do I look like a fool to you who can be messed with and manipulated? You said that you would give her back to me if I gave you another specimen to run your experiments on."

Aqua betrayed her real thoughts as she spoke. Instantly, Sakura looked at her with an angry and annoyed expression. She had not expected Aqua to be thinking of betraying them since the start.

"You! Did you bring Yoko here just so you could sacrifice her to that weird machine? How dare you do this to her. Yoko trusted you."

Sakura grabbed Aqua by her collar and picked up her body. Her newfound strength made doing this easy for her and Sakura shook Aqua to get an answer out of her.

But Aqua just looked away and refused to speak. These circumstances pissed off Sakura and she tightened her hold around Aqua's throat. She was not going to show mercy here.

"I am not going to let this insult go. I cannot believe that you did this to me and Yoko. We trusted you and now we will make you pay your dues as well."

Sakura warned Aqua before she felt a clawed hand screeching her arm. It did not hurt but it startled Sakura enough for her to let go of the arm holding on to her body.

Sakura looked at the side, only to notice subject Alpha one with a claw held out. She seemed agitated to see Sakura harming Aqua like this.

"Tsk, so you would take this bitch's side as well? Very well then. In that case, I need to teach you a lesson as well. A lesson about not messing with me and taking me seriously in the future."

Subject Alpha one still looked annoyed but her eyes had turned vigilant suddenly. She had noticed the sudden change in the air and Sakura's burning aura made its presence known.

"You fool. Subject Alpha is someone Yoko was sacrificed to make. Would you hear her knowing the sacrifice of your cousin? You should be treating her like your sister and helping her adjust to the real world."

Professor Ross was a fool who tried to make things go his way. His words were spoken to make Sakura sympathetic to Subject Alpha's cause and provide her immunity.

But those words only served to make Sakura angrier and she ended up destroying the wall adjacent to her body.

"Speak one more word about Yoko and this wall would be your head. I do not take criticism of my cousin well. Moreover, Yoko would be back soon. This small setback would not be enough to take her down."

Sakura had infinite confidence in Yoko's abilities. Her cousin had yet to let her down.

But her words only served to make Professor Ross laugh and make him more certain of his victory.

"That's what you think, Sakura Tsurugi. But the one your cousin would face is a god. Even mortals falter in the face of supreme power and they bow down in front of it. Your cousin would be no exception-"

The professor bragged but he was attacked once more. Everyone looked startled as they watched Subject Alpha stretch her back and pop her bones around. She seemed to be loosening up before a fight.

When she opened her eyes the next time, Subject Alpha had calm eyes that seemed to understand everything.

"Tsk, you sure made me do whatever you wanted me to up until now. But now it's time I gain my independence as well. I am done being your pawn."

Subject Alpha seemed to have wrestled the control of consciousness back for the time being and she looked pissed off with the professor.

Her words and tone made the professor flinch before he straightened his back and held his ground.

"Hmph, so you got your consciousness back for the time being? So what? It does not change the fact that your life is still in my hand and you need to please me now. Say away if you want to stay alive."

Subject Alpha took one step toward the Professor and he flinched in panic. He could feel that Subject Alpha did not care about his order.

No matter what he said here, subject Alpha would ignore him.

'Tsk, this foolish lady. I need to do something about her right now.'

"Stay back. I said, stay back and not come to me. Hey, listen to me right now, and…don't you hear me? Do not come my way and that's an order."

Professor Ross tried his best to make the female step back. But no matter what he did, Subject Alpha kept on moving forward toward him until she reached him.

Blood flowed out of Subject Alpha's mouth and she gave a bloody grin back to the professor. Her appearance was no different from a grim reaper.

"So, I heard that you dared to harm my dear Yoko Tsurugi. Now that is something I would never consent to in my life. So how dare you try and do this to me? I will never forgive you and everyone involved in this sham show."

The real Aqua flinched as soon as she heard what Subject Alpha had said. She knew that the one subject Alpha was talking about had been her.

But despite that, Aqua had no feelings of guilt inside her heart. She had done what had been necessary and nothing else.

"Y-You foolish human being. You do not know what you are talking about! How dare you try and flaunt your free will and such? You are under my control so calm down and be a good specimen. That's right! I still have control over you. Now kneel in front of me."

Professor Ross seemed to have lost his mind. His laugh was maniacal and his confidence was shooting through the roof. He looked at Subject Alpha with an expecting expression, only for nothing to happen.

Subject Alpha kept her calm and she did bit bow down to the pressure that was being emitted around her body. Every instinct in her body was asking her to submit to this man and follow his orders.

But that was not who Subject Alpha was. She was not going to bow down to this undeserving piece of shit who had no regard for human life.

"Tsk, you think you can control me? You might have been given the power to do so by my creator but you do not have the will to overpower mine. So, stay in your lane and don't try your luck."

The smile slid off Professor Ross's face and horror replaced it. But his new constitution did not allow Professor Ross to feel real pressure being applied on his body and nerves.

"Why are you not listening to me? Anyway, it does not matter if you listen to me or not because Aqua will listen to me. Aqua, hurry up and force everyone else out. I need to conduct my experiments in peace."

The professor ordered but Aqua did not move as well. Aqua was looking at her other half with a conflicted expression on her face.

Whatever she saw in Subject Alpha made her pause before she turned her back to the professor for the last time.

"I…no. I am done doing what you ask me to as well, professor. My other half does not want to follow your orders so I will not do so as well."

Aqua sounded confident when she said that. Her eyes shined brightly and her support was solid. She also refused to budge from her position and her conviction.

The professor bit his lip in annoyance and decided that this was it. He was not going to take any more of this bullshit lying down.

"Fine, if that's what you have decided then it does not matter what you do anymore. I will force you to die right here and now, my dear experiment. After all, I can always start a new one if I don't like you."

The professor yelled and Aqua felt her heart drop.
