Bionic -1

Part 4

After discussing Sharp's plan Jack and Helen come to the conclusion that it would be in their best interest if they didn't agree with his idea, but little do they know an encounter with Sharp's maniacal brother will change their decision.

Jack is receiving his usual physical therapy at the base, his wife and children are with him today watching his progress. Suddenly a big blast is heard not too far; sirens begin to wail, men and women in uniform are seen running about weapons in hand.

"We have to get out of here." Jack tells his family. He and his family run out of the medical building to find better shelter. "Daddy, I'm scared." Meg cries clutching her mother's hand tightly, her brothers are equally scared each holding to their parents for dear life. Helen too is frightened as she follows her husband's every word to save themselves.

"In here", Jack says taking his family into a building. The family huddles together in a corner when they hear a voice outside, then a man enters the building followed by robots, they hear him call them Cyphrons. At once Jack notices the man has bionic alterations on his face and figures this must be Sharp's brother. They manage to stay hidden from view. Sharp's brother leaves the building the Bennetts are in not finding what he was looking for in there.

Jack and Helen now know what Sharp was talking about when he said his brother wanted to rule the world. The following day they make their way to the museum. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Helen asks her husband. "Yes", he replies. "We've seen what that man can do and probably worse." She nods. The two walk hand in hand and are met at the door by the Professor himself.

"We've made our choice", Jack says. "Come with me", is the reply. The three go to the same lab where days earlier Helen had been. "This is the Special Projects Lab - SPL for short; I work here when I'm not busy with the museum", he says. "This way." Sharp says pointing to a room just off the side of the main lab.

This room is fairly large with a big table in the center and a large machine up above it. "You will become bionic in this room, with the aid of that machine. If you are ready I want you to change into something else." Jack nods. Sharp walks to another room and comes back within minutes with a dark colored garment. "You can change behind those doors." Sharps points to the same room he had just come out of.

Soon after Jack is in place in the machine that will make him bionic and change his and his family's life forever. Sharp leads him to the large round table. "Lay down here", sharp instructs him. "Are you ready?" Jack nods and closes his eyes. There's a flash, the machine starts to spin and lighting falls from above. Helen waits anxiously outside the lab; Sharp walks out first but Helen cannot read the expression on his face.

Her confusion most have shown as Sharp smiles at her and steps to the side to reveal a smiling man behind him: "Let me introduce you to 'Bionic-1'" The Professor says. "Jack? Is that you?" Helen frowns. "I am." Bionic-1 replies and tears begin to fall from her eyes, she runs to her husband and holds on tight.

"I was so afraid it would not work." She says stepping back to get a better look at her husband; she cannot believe the man standing before her is that same man that nearly died a few months back. "You look so different." He smiles at her. "I love you." They come close to a kiss when Sharp interrupts them. "I'm sorry to brake this up, but Bionic-1 you need to know what kind of powers you have and how to use them."

The two follow Sharp to the main computer room. "Computer, show me Bionic-1 file." Whiting seconds Jack's new persona appears on the screen with several areas highlighted.

"As you can see your hearing has been amplified 1000 fold, it will help you hear at any frequency over extremely far distances. Next I made a change to your eyes. . ." "What?" Helen screams. "Don't worry, the new changes helped restore his eyesight he won't need those contacts anymore", Sharp reassures her.

"What can my new eyes do, Professor?" Jack inquires. "This is what you can do now." Sharp replies and one by one his new abilities pop into the screen.

Vision - Telescopic

- Infrared

- Night

- X-Ray

- Tractor Beams

- Lasers

- Video Relaying

Jack's and Helen's mouth are wide open. "I've increase your strength and speed by 1000." Sharp adds; "Come this way so you can try out your new abilities." The three walk to another part of the building. "This is a training room I built for the very purpose of training a bionic person. In here you will learn not only how to use your new abilities but it will help you hold them back when need be."

After one of his regular training sessions Sharp says something Jack did not expect. "You are now ready take on the bad guys, but before that the government wants a demonstration." "What?" Jack is speechless. "The government needs to know about your existence and what you can do to help fight the world's evil."

Several days later Bionic-1 is in Washington DC demonstrating not only what he can do, but Sharp's new technological advances as well. However, the demonstration is short lived as Scarab attacks the area where it was being held. "You know what to do," Sharp says. Bionic-1 nods and quickly goes on the offensive. He takes every single one of Scarab's Cyphrons destroying them all. "Who the hell are you?" An angry Scarab asks him. "My name is Bionic-1." Jack proudly replies and the younger Sharp turns to look at his brother instantly realizing this is his creation.

"You and I will meet again." Scarab cryptically utters before using one of his darkness grenades to escape under the smoke's cover. Once Bionic-1 makes sure everyone is ok he goes to speak with Sharp. "Looks like my brother doesn't like you much." Sharp sighs; "is that good or bad?" asks Jack with a smile, but Sharp, turning his back to him and staring blankly at the sky grimly whispers "he will be back." "And I will be ready for him." Is Bionic-1's reply.
