*Present*

“You.” Isaac could barely stand now. This man, the man who made him… this. He was right in front of him. “Why are you here Jericho?”

Jericho chuckled and smirked that stupid smirk he had whenever he was about to do something horrid. “Wouldn’t you love to know?”

Isaac always had trouble reading the scientist’s expression, but this time it was clear as day. It was a face of pure malicious intent.

Jericho, on the other hand, knew exactly what Isaac was thinking. He was scared. He was confused. He needed to be brought back to the lab so he could make Isaac pure again. Then he would help him in a way he never did before.

“But if you must know, I’ve been searching for you for quite some time now.”

“And that’s why you killed people? To look for me?”

“They wouldn’t tell me where you were.”

Isaac’s eyes turned a bright red. “First you make me this… thing… and now you kill for your own selfish reasons?!”

Jericho sighed. “So I guess that means that you won’t come back to the lab?”

As soon as he said that, Isaac had his katana at Jericho’s throat. “I’d rather kill you.”

The madman just chuckled. “You know, I really didn’t want to release him again, after what your friend did to release him. He is your opposite if I’m correct?”

Isaac pressed the katana on his neck. “You wouldn’t dare.”

Jericho took out a jar of… something. It was like code on a computer, but… it was in a pile, trying to take an unknown form. “You know, I wanted to help you.” He smiled. “But obviously you’re past reasoning.”

The jar slipped out of his hand, cracked, and released the code inside, which instantly started to take a humanoid shape similar to Isaac.

“Why would you do that Jericho?! Now we’re all dead!”

The man only smiled as the man of code grabbed Isaac and through him to the ground. It seemed to smile down at him.

“Oh, Isaac,” it started, “You have no idea how long I’ve waited to see you again! I mean, I would’ve preferred this confrontation between the two of us, but I suppose the scientist can stay.”

Isaac was now even more confused. This creature was built to kill everyone and everything. Why was it ok with Jericho?

His response was a little chuckle from the creature. “What’s wrong Isaac? Confused?” It shook its head in a sarcastic disgust. “Typical Isaac. I am no longer just a jumble of code that will kill anyone. That’s for Jeremy.”

Jericho, irritated by this, shouted out. “It’s Jericho, Isaeah!”

“You…” Isaac was even more confused now. “You gave it a name?

Isaeah smiled. “Yes, he gave me a name. My name is Isaeah. I’m now not mindless. And my mind says to kill you.”
