It is the year 2100. Technology have evolved in unprecedented and unseen ways. Talks of fusing humans and weapons have surfaced. Of reaching immortality at the price of humanity. Of organs and machines becoming one and the same. Alternate X. A new project the government of Byon have released, with promises and hopes to end the war that has been going on for centuries against the enemy country of Kruisel. A vicious army with unequaled strength, with unmatched and unwavering power. The only problem? It needs volunteers, and whoever joined Alternate X came back a monster deprived of their humanity. Asma and Nate have been best friends as long as they could remember. Unseperable since birth, they would play with each other as children, protect each other in war and eventually grow up to be fond of each other in their teens. Their romance was short lived however as the enemy blasted their city. With his family murdered by the enemies' armies, twenty year old Nate vowed to fight for his country in whichever way possible to earn victory, even at the price of sacrificing his own humanity and joining the notorious Alternate X. But separation is never meant to be easy, even when Nate attempted to make Asma promise to move on and forget him, even when Asma promised to wait for him no matter what. Five years later, the war has ended. Inmocent Asma still yearned for the lively boy she had fallen in love with. Soon enough, she realized that something was wrong. Because it wasn't her charming Nate who arrived. She wasn't sure it was her Nate at all. Not when he has a chest of steel and wings of metal. Not when his eyes were no longer their fiery amber old, but charcoal dark as night, with one large scar sliding through his left one. Not when when she had realized that he was no longer the boy she had long loved and awaited but twenty six year old General Nathaniel Straevsky the vicious army leader and president of Alternate X.
