[Symbiotic Fusion starts in five… four… three… two… one…]
The three blood mutants lost all sense of consciousness as their bodies were temporarily shut down for the fusion taking place. While the machines holding their bodies readjusted for the Granians to begin the process, Jim and Cherry drifted separately into dark empty spaces, unaware of what was happening to them.
Cherry's space was completely dark and vast, yet she could see through it clearly. Her vision zoomed through the empty blackness of the room, but there was nothing except more blackness.
Jim's space was a dark gray color with cold, black water at his feet. With each step, the water made certain sounds that always reminded Jim of his old life – a life without having to worry about alien invasions or anything of the sort. "This is worse than military torture," he said to himself, remaining flat on the ground, floating in the black water pool.
