The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin
A loud boom echoed all throughout the sky as if something had exploded within the earth's atmosphere, in just a few moments ring-like wave of white and black rays passed through the sky, raining down a similarly colored stardust for a few seconds.The whole phenomenon was seen all throughout the world, as all of humanity had managed to witness the wondrous thing that had happened.Suspicions, fear, and intrigue arose from a lot of people as each and everyone who saw the incident had their own theories and guest on what had occurred.Newsfeeds suggested it was caused by an abrupt explosion of a large meteorite that entered the earth, conspiracy theorists suggest it was a new weapon b
When Chris stepped inside the huge tube-like mechanism the machine's arrowhead started going haywire. Scientists were baffled looking at one another, murmuring to themselves all the while giving glances towards him.All he could do was force a smile as he felt so awkward right now, being stared upon by several people wearing white lab coats while wearing only a very thin piece of white underwear.It was obvious that everyone was awe-struck seeing as how the system was acting up because of him. But that didn’t stop them from writing down their notes on the find.“Mister Cruz, please step out of the chamber so that we may now proceed with the other tests,”Chris was only able to nod, feeling really awkward at the moment. The people around him didn’t even care to give him a robe, only interested in proceeding with their work as fast as possible.
Though no longer aware of what was happening, Chris ended up being lucky as several more tests were done during his stupors, such as gas poison, acid drips, and burns. He was only able to wake up when he felt the world-shaking around him as two men carried him in a stretcher. Shakily, he tried to open his eyes to see where he was being sent. Though he could still feel the pain, all his wounds and scars were completely gone when he was brought to the physical examination room. Inside, there was a man with glasses, hair in a rugged ponytail, he seemed to be contemplating while looking at the clipboard that he was holding, rubbing his chin before letting out a deep sigh. “This is the subject sir,”
“Here is your personal Badge, I.D. and you should be able to get your uniform from the supplies officer on section three,” the soldier in worn-out fatigue politely placed the card along with the metallic pin on his hand, even saluting after to give his respects. Chris knew the man was only doing this because he didn’t know the truth about him, still thinking that he was still one of them, one of those special ones. Chris winced, seeing the large letter in bold font on his card with a picture of him smiling and a barcode below. Along with the symbol of what seemed to be an eye. “Thank you,” he could not help but bow down, ashamed of the respect being given to him, knowing that his title was all
“I bet they were all surprised that you actually passed the test! They didn’t think someone of your kind would actually be able to do it, but look at you now,” his father let out a loud and hearty laugh as he kept slapping his back, seemingly happy and proud of what had happened. It was Chris’s off on that day and he was allowed to leave camp for the time being since power users had that kind of privilege. So he decided to go home and visit his family. When he arrived a luscious feast was already waiting for him, so they ended up having lunch, since he really missed his parents' home cooking, being so far away for the past months. “I...I don’t think that’s an issue dad,” he tries to laugh it off, feeling a bit awkward about the said subject, knowing what his father was pertaining to. “Isn’t it? I heard they don’t treat people of the third sex very kindly son, maybe you should act more manly when you’re around them
There was ringing noise all over them alongside muffled cries and screams, gunshots can also be heard together with some indiscriminate shouting.It felt like Chris’s head was turning at that moment, that even opening his eyes felt so painful. A smoke of dust was swirling in front of him the moment his blurry vision managed to focus once again.Still collected and trying to remain calm he began feeling every part of his body for anything that hurt, all the while moving his eyes to see what was going on.It seemed that the flash of light had caused a total panic for everyone, seeing several people running around past and by them. That was when he noticed that the dust around them was some kind of ash-like mist that seemed to cover the area where they were.When Chris was sure that all was fine with his body he begins moving, slowly turning his head to check what had happened to his surroundings.
