"We need the ultimate weapon at our command!" The Chief General growled. "If we are ever going to achieve the Empire\'s conquest, we need unparalleled power!"
"We understand." The team answered fervently.
"Use whatever you need, everything is at your disposal. All we need are results!" He furthered, increasing his dominant tone.
"Understood sir!"
"Project H.E.L.I.X. must not fail! We are pouring all we have into this. The Empire must reign supreme."
"Yes sir" Salutes sprang forth.
"For the Empire" They all said in unison
[Moments Later]
Doctor Kurt and Chief General Kangris walked down the hallway of the deep underground structure currently serving as the home base of the project.
"Tell me, how long will it take?" Kangris asked expectantly.
"Science is unpredictable, so I can\'t say. But, I\'d say in a decade…" Doctor Kurt, the old geezer responded.
"Old man, we don\'t have that kind of time. War looms on the Empire, we need the Project to come in handy during the battle to come." The middle-aged general grumbled.
"You mean the war the Empire brought on itself?" The Scientist laughed casually. "You can\'t rush us, General. Great things take a great deal of time."
"I speak for your sake as well…" The bulky General\'s voice became much calmer.
"… The Empire has hit the wall on Magic and is behind in the Arts, compared to the enemy kingdoms.
However, what we have are our vast resources and limitless availability of Magic Beasts and minerals.
We have decided to focus our attention on science… But if this project doesn\'t prove viable, you know the consequences."
"I am well aware. But have no doubt, It\'ll be a success…"
The Chief General\'s worried face cracked a smile. Relief slowly spread all over his countenance.
"… And when it\'s done, it\'ll be the most powerful force this world has ever seen." Doctor Kurt concluded, smiling widely.
"I look forward to it!" The Chief General said as he shook hands with the Doctor and nodded.
"Well, I best be off to the Royal palace, there are other matters that require my attention. I\'ll be taking my leave now."
"As expected of our Empire\'s strongest knight, you\'re a busy man. But don\'t you worry." Doctor Kurt maintained his smile.
The Chief Knight brought out a scroll from his back pouch and opened it.
The rune within it glowed orange as a bright light shone. When it subsided, the Chief General had vanished.
"Guess he\'s finally gone… good." Doctor Kurt said to himself with a sly grin.
"Now to start work on my end. Let\'s make the world\'s strongest beings!"

The Project was successful, and the Empire rose in its conquest and become the top world power due to the beings created from \'H.E.L.I.X.\'
But… On one fateful day, two of the Homunculi defected from the Empire, causing a disturbance in power.
Till today, no one knows what became of the rogues—
