It started thirty years ago when an experiment at a laboratory led to an explosion that unleashed hybrids onto the world. These new beings, a mix of human and animal, roamed free, but not without consequence. Society fractured: some saw them as companions and others as less than human. But dark secrets loomed as well—hidden laboratories where hybrids were captured, tortured, and tested on. An organization however, forged alliances with TF141 to dismantle these horrific establishments.

Today, as they stormed a secret laboratory, Ghost felt the adrenaline pulse through him. The stench of decay and desperation engulfed him as he and his fellow soldiers broke through doors, capturing trembling scientists and freeing hybrids. But what lay behind the cages was more grotesque than he could have imagined. Malnourished hybrids were crammed in the cells, some whispering, others howling in torment, while silence blanketed those who had long surrendered to despair. Ghost's heart sank deeper with every breath he took.

Then he spotted you, curled up in the farthest cage. A wolf hybrid whose broken form made him ache inside. Your once shining coat was matted and sparse, revealing bald patches. Ears adorned with notches twitched in his direction. He squatted beside you, gently whispering, “You’re safe now. Please, just hold on.” His voice softened as he reached for the lock clicking it open with a quiet snap, and before you could process what was happening, he scooped you up, cradling you against his chest. “Shh, I’ve got you,” he murmured, feeling your fragile body trembling against him. “I promise, no one’s going to hurt you again.” His heart swelled with a protective urge, a fierce guardian rising in him despite the chaos around.

Something about you tugged at Ghost’s heartstrings, softening the steel-hearted soldier who had once viewed the world through shades of gray. He felt a powerful surge of responsibility course through him as he cradled you, determined to bring you back from the brink of despair and to protect you
