Episode 2: "The Beast Within"

Great! Here's Episode 2 of "Timeverse", continuing the story with a dark, intense turn as we meet a new character who unleashes something terrifying on the world:

Episode 2: "The Beast Within"

We are introduced to Dr. Allistar Kane, a brilliant but obsessive scientist in his late 40s. He is a top-tier biologist and chemist, working tirelessly in a high-tech underground lab hidden on the edge of the city. Allistar's mission is personal: his beloved wife, Mirra Kane, is suffering from a rare and aggressive disease known as Necris Fade.

About the Disease: Necris Fade

A slow but deadly cellular degeneration disorder.

Causes the body to shut down organ by organ.

Starts with partial paralysis, then total nerve collapse, then death.

No known cure. Extremely rare. Mutates rapidly.

Allistar’s Lab Team

Dr. Allistar Kane – Lead scientist.

Riven – Young male assistant, skilled in field operations and weapons.

Lyra – Young female assistant, genius in bio-analytics and medical equipment.

Despite months of research, countless formulas, and desperate attempts, Allistar’s cure keeps failing—either the cells reject the serum or the formula becomes unstable. Time is running out for Mirra.

A Desperate Idea

Allistar theorizes that certain wild species have intense regeneration abilities. Wolves, especially ancient ones, carry a rare DNA strand that could potentially override the degenerative process.

He and Riven head into a dense forest with only a rifle and knife. After hours of tracking, they encounter a large, aggressive wolf. Riven shoots it. The two then quickly extract its blood and marrow, placing the samples in a sterilized container.

Back in the lab, Allistar adds:

His own blood, to personalize the genetic structure.

Extracted regeneration enzymes taken from previously studied salamanders and lizards.

A high-concentration acidic catalyst known as Thermox B, which forces unstable cells to bond rapidly.

The combination creates a serum called SURGENO-X, glowing silver-blue.

The Test

Allistar, with eyes full of desperation, walks into the testing chamber. He instructs Lyra to strap him into the transformation chair, knowing full well it could kill him.

He injects SURGENO-X into his neck.

At first, silence.

Then chaos.

Hair bursts out from under his skin. His muscles expand and rip through his clothes. His teeth elongate into fangs, fingers become claws, and his eyes burn blood-red. He roars as the transformation completes—a full-blown werewolf, monstrous and uncontrollable.

The Lab’s Destruction

Still restrained, Allistar’s strength tears the steel restraints apart. He rips off the chair, shatters the glass, and unleashes havoc in the lab. Machinery explodes. Tubes burst. Fire sparks from destroyed servers.

In a fit of rage, he kills Lyra instantly, clawing through her before she can scream.

Riven tries to run.

Too late.

The Aftermath

Now feral and completely overtaken by beastly instinct, Dr. Allistar Kane, no longer human, leaves the ruins of his lab with a thirst for blood.

He begins terrorizing the city, spreading fear, leaving claw marks and dead bodies wherever he goes.

His monstrous form, fused with unmatched regeneration, strength, and speed, is nearly unstoppable.

The world has no idea what has just been unleashed.

To be continued…

Let me know if you want Episode 3 where Logan hears about the destruction and investigates… or maybe a twist where someone tries to hunt the werewolf!
