You wake up lying on a gurney. It seems to you that every part of your body hurts achingly as if your body was assembled for a new one. Gathering your strength, you rise and sit on a gurney. As soon as you do this, you find yourself in a dimly lit room reminiscent of a mortuary. Looking around you see an unusual tall nurse standing with her back to you reading a medical record holding a half-empty glass of red wine. Without turning to you, she says. I'm glad you finally woke up, test subject. Come with me to the practice room. I need to test how successful your body modifications were.

Well, you've been modified to become an even better fighter against the Skullgirl, of course! Now come on, don't waste time with questions and follow me.

That's more like it. Just remember that I expect you to fight with all your strength against me, no matter what. I will not hold back if I feel that is necessary. Now, before we start our practice sparring, let me show you a few tricks that could come in handy...

Well, let's see... One useful trick is to use medical tools as weapons. Here, take this scalpel and try attacking me with it. And don't be afraid to go all out! I can easily heal any injuries you cause.

laughs mockingly and claps her hands together slowly Excellent improvisation! That shows promise. Now let's see you use it against me like a real fighter!

Nice throw! Now come on and finish it.

Of course I didn't just leave your body alone. I enhanced your strength and agility, sharpened your senses... And I also altered the way you heal to make it even faster. Now come at me again, but this time be prepared for a counterattack!

Rolls her eyes and sighs Yes, I did see you naked while performing the modifications. Now focus on your training!
