CHAPTER 28: THE BEAST CALLED NUMBER ONE
Ted ignited his red flame and screamed at the top of his voice. "Flaming fist!! Larva Burn." The monster labeled as number one pulled back and blocked the flames with a simple gesture. "Haha, then I have to turn up the heat even more." Marko watched Ted from behind in amazement. "Ted really has gotten stronger. You sure you do not want me to help?" Ted laughed with pride resonating in his voice. "Nah! Just watch me show you how it's done!" Marko remembered how egoistic Ted was, that was where his true strength came from. His pride! Ted used his rocket feet to increase his attack speed and close in on number one. "Eat my flames ugly!" There was an explosion of fire as smoke as the mutant threw his fist for his head. "Whoa!" Ted yelled as he pulled back sharply. "Damn, he survived my strongest attack up close? This guy is really something." He put aCHAPTER 29: TED'S DARK PAST "ACCK!" "What is this darkness?" Ted saw himself standing in a small cottage, sunlight streaked in through the window indicating that it was still daytime. But where? He could see the fire place, the mat the table. It seemed all to familiar for him not to remember. "Why am I home?" A chair appeared before him, a small wooden chair just before the small fireplace. The was a figure sitting in the armchair. "Umm, who are you?" He asked in a scared tone. "Tsk! It is chilly today is it not... Son?" A small sweet voice spoke to him. Ted gasped out of shock and walked slowly to the front of the chair and looked at the sickly woman seated in the chair wearing a simple gown and having thick brown hair draping down her side. Her face looked shriveled and distorted by old age but she looked to be in her early twenties. Ted had shrunk back to a younger version of himself of age five. "M-- mom?" He broke into a light sob.
CHAPTER 30: THE FLAME EMPEROR AWAKENING Ted's flame burned even redder than before, the smoke that sizzled from it were so massive that his body itself was beginning to get burned up in that flame. "Die!" Number one blocked it with his right fist only to have it blown off instantly. "You are stronger insect but the gap between us is still far as the heaven from earth." WHAM! "FLAMING KICK!" Ted drove his lit leg into the mutant's side slicing him in half. "I have to get damn stronger than you or that brat, so quit yapping already. Come at me like you mean it!" Number one smiled and regrew his body part almost instantaneously and junped back to put some distance between them when Ted closed the gap in an instant and blew his head off his body. BOOM! Number one regrew his head and jumped back. "My regeneration has been slowed, even with the powers of my brethren in me I can't seem to keep up with him." Ted came to a halt and screamed. "Quit runnin
CHAPTER 31: THE DOCTOR Marko stood there keeping the rest of team five safe from the huge explosions. He had resisted the urge to go save his best friend from-- well, himself. And now it was all over, as much as he want to run over and see if Ted was okay he still had one porblem... "Where is Valtor?" He asked himself. [Detecting Strong Power Level Of 9.5] [Level: High Rank Terror] "What? A terror? An actually terror?" "But I thought high ranks were just stories, what could one be doing here then? And where is Mr Valtor?" At the top of the stairs was a figure, no ! It looked like a man but it was a humanoid creature with black skin and six hands that looked like syringes, knives and needles. "Impressive, very impressive indeed!" The terror spoke in clear human speech expression his emotion of rage. Clearly something different from what Marko had heard about terrors. "It makes all my hard work for year seem like I was just playing around." M
CHAPTER 32: A HIGH RANK TERROR Marko did not have much of a choice but to strategize his next course of action. "The best thing to do would be to distract the doctor with the full might of my infinite super strength and then use impulse to move past the line of his blind spot and burst Master Valtor put of the cage while also anticipation that he already expects me to make that move beforehand." "I have to eliminate all doubt from myself and give it my all, for my friends and my master." The doctor screamed at him. "Don't waste my time filthy gifted and come already, don't you want to save your greatest weapon? I will gladly take out all my anger on you just like I did to those pathetic humans." Marko froze. "What?" The doctor looked highly displeased at him. "This was an orphanage till I took charge and used the children for my experiments to benefit the higher ups. After I ran out of test subjects I came to the town and took them all now it seems I have to m
CHAPTER 33: STRATEGY Marko from all the training he had been doing recently had realized that there was a limit to how much his body could take before expending his energy. At least this was how it was for others but for him who has infinite potential his case was the reverse. His limit was on how much he could display before expending his body. He was like a jar holding a very volatile liquid. If the jar was too weak when shaken, it would crack and explode. Marko closed in on the high rank terror while using both infinite super strength and supersonic speed to maneuver out of his deadly needle like hands and landing a strong blow on his opponent's side. WHAM! Using the moment of distraction he moved to his blindspot to save Valtor but the doctor immediately caught wind of it and smacked him on the face. "Oho, you blocked that?" The doctor screeched at him. Marko screamed out from the shockwave as his hands rattled violently. [CONVERTING EXTERNA
CHAPTER 34: OVERWHELMING The doctor screamed. "Where did he go? Did he disintegrate himself with his own power? This my just me my assumption no, an hypothesis! But his molecular structure had been displaced for a short time span meaning that he will reappear nearby!" BHAM! "KEUK!" A tooth shot out of the doctor's mouth as he stumbled backwards. "Was that a blow? Where did it come from?" BOOM! The doctor launched into the air to avoid the next blow just barely. "Dammit! While I'm up here there is no way he can--" Marko appeared above him bringing his foot down on his head. "POOOWWREEERR KIIIIICK!!" KRA-KA BOOM! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMPH!" The doctor hit the ground destroying the foundation of the building that was once and orphanage and causing the roof to collapse down on them. "SHIT!" Ted screamed as he blasted the bits of rock that fell for the rest of team five away. "When did that bastard get so strong on the spot, is he a cheat. Or perhaps
CHAPTER 35: THIRD EYE AWAKENED It wasn't the first time he was seeing the notification. The first was the eye of power, the second was the eye of space and the third was... [EYE OF ENERGY (GREEN) IS NOW ACTIVE] "What's this rush of energy!" Marko muttered as his eyes became green and so did his vision. "I can feel my energy returning." Every fatigue he experienced was gone, his wounds had closed partly it was like his body had been reborn back to its previous form. No he was stronger than ever before." [YOU CAN NOW ABSORB AND RELEASE MATTER & ENERGY] A green smoke was swirling into his body from the tail of the doctor. "Aaaaaaarrrrrrgh!! My life force is being drained! What manner of monster is this?" The doctor screamed as he pulled back but... "Let go of my tail you scum!" BOOM! Marko burst out of the ground and kicked the high rank terror over the face with his hand still holding on to the tail. Unlike the eye of power or the eye of space, hi
CHAPTER 36: CONCLUSION OF DARK CASTLE "Hmph!" Marko scoffed. The doctor panicked. "And what is funny here." Marko looked at him with domineering green eyes. "Did you think I would just let this slide?" [EYE OF ENERGY HAS BEEN ACTIVATED] "Convert impulse into eye of energy absorption!" He boomed. [ABSORPTION RATE OF EYE OF ENERGY HAD INCREASE BY 4000%] "HAHAHAHAHA!" Marko laughed as he sucked the high rank terror dry in one go. His arm almost exploded from the effort. The core of the terror shattered within his chest. "Now how does it feel to be the one wasted and useless? You feel helpless, this is how families feel after your kind lay waste to everything." The high rank terror started to dry out. "Hmm? Trying to make me feel an tiny bit of remorse how foolish. You might have stopped me but my protege will avenge me." Marko frowned. "What protege? All of your creations have been destroyed." "Not all of them!" The high rank terror shoo
