'Keep going kid. You're almost there'"20, 21, 22, 2----"'What are you doing?''Counting the floors I've passed''Why. What's the point in that?''Well just to know the number of floors altogether''I just told you, there are 25 floors altogether''Well..... there's no harm in been sure''......'Some time later.....'There, that's the last door'Tisane arrived at an elevator door which was located at top of the tunnel which had extended into a roof made of transparent glass.'Okay how do I open the door?' Tisane asked after pushing and trying to pry open the door with his hands.'Jump on one of those ropes and face the door''Why?''Just do it'Tisane obeyed as he hopped and grabbed one of the four huge metal rods as he stared at the elevator door.'Ok what now?''Just stare at the door and don't blink''Don't blink?' Tisane had a confused look on his face.'Yes don't blink. Trust me'After a minute, Tisane's eyes were beginning to become itchy.'Hey inner voice how long should I ke
'So you're saying I should fight them?' Tisane asked.'Of course. Because from the way I see it, they won't just stand aside and let you walk into the CEO office. Though I'll admit if you had met these guys before today, they would have torn you to pieces''What?!' Tisane's eyes widened. 'They are that strong?''Yep. I told you before. They are not your average humans''What do you mean by that? What are they? Aliens?''No. Mutants''What...mutants....like super powered humans?''You can put it like that''Woah...they actually exist?!''What do you think? The universe is big kid. There are a lot of things you can never imagine that exist''So if they are so powerful, how do you think I can beat them?' Tisane asked incredulously.'Hello! Wake up dumbo. Do you think you actually got here because you're normal?''Wait' Tisane felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride. 'You mean I actually have powers too?!''Focus kid. Now is not the time to be on cloud nine. All you have to know right no
"How dare you?!" Sabrina roared with murderous intent."That's it kid. You asked for it!" Jerry started walking towards Tisane as he eyes spat out rage."No" Sabrina stopped Jerry's advance as she herself walked towards Tisane. "Leave him to me. When am through with him, he's gonna wish he was dead"Tisane felt his heart beat accelerate as he braced himself for a tough fight.'This is it kid. Don't hold back!' The voice reminded him immediately.Sabrina walked few steps in front of Tisane as she threw her right hand with an intent to slap him.Tisane saw the hand coming as he quickly caught it.'What?' Sabrina widened her eyes for a moment, until she became infuriated."You still dare?!" She threw her left hand with an intent to punch Tisane.Tisane saw the punch coming as he quickly caught it with his palm. All this while, Tisane was on full alert and watching out for Sabrina's weapon."Argh!" Sabrina was not yet done as she threw her right leg at him. But this time Tisane reacted fa
"I have never met such a shameless guy!" Sabrina said in anger."And stupid too!" Jerry supported."Kid when am through with you, you'll regret ever being so insolent!" Matthew said through gritted teeth."Oh yeah?" Tisane glared threateningly. "Well come on then! Am not scared of you""You should be!" Matthew roared as he dashed forward._'Stay focused Tisane, he's strong'_ the voice warned._'Yeah I get that'_ Tisane replied before he realized something._'Hey did you just call me by my name?'__'Yeah'__'But I don't know yours'__'So?'__'That's not fair!'_Matthew arrived before Tisane instantly as he threw his fist forward.Tisane saw the fist coming as he prepared to intercept it until.....~Swish~_'What?!'_ Tisane saw Matthew's fist vanish instantly as it came from an unexpected direction straight to his left rib cage._~Pow~_The unexpected punch was quite unnerving as it threw Tisane off balance.Matthew followed up with three more punches all of which landed on Tisane's ung
"I don't know how you do it kid but you have begun to push us to the point where we have no choice but to kill you" Matthew stated as his voice became sharp."What are we still waiting for?" Sabrina was already twitching in anger."Let's kill him!"Tisane was sick and tired of exchanging words with these buffoons as he dashed forward suddenly.Matthew was shocked as his eyebrows went up so high.'He's attacking?!'Tisane vanished as he arrived before Matthew.'What?!' Matthew and Sabrina were dumbfounded as they began looking around."Behind you!" Melissa screamed.Matthew quickly spun around and attacked instantly.'Think you can ambush me?!''Think aga---' his fist only hit the air as he saw no one behind him except Sabrina whose eyes and mouth were wide open.From the look on her face, Matthew knew he was in trouble.'Be---behind me?' He quickly spun around again not wasting more than three seconds from the first time he spun around. An evidence of his swift reflexes.But it was to
Matthew listened to Tisane as they conversed. And he was beset mainly with the feeling of disappointment when he discovered that the boy standing before him was nothing but a naive idiot with a ridiculous plan.Seriously, who would think that entering the company where you were supposedly hired and beating up some workers and the security guards and then barging into the CEO's office to apologize is actually a plan that would work out?He totally reevaluated his opinion of Tisane by concluding that he was not an assassin or a determined criminal but a fool on a suicide mission.As he came to this conclusion, he totally lost interest in Tisane.All that was on his mind was to put Tisane down and hand him over to the security.And he was about to do just that when Sabrina attacked suddenly.Well he didn't have any problem with that because he had lost interest in Tisane already, so he didn't mind if Tisane lived or died.In mutant school, they were made to understand that the life of
Matthew was beginning to waver in his beliefs when he watched as his crew battled Tisane.Even he would find it very difficult to go against them at once.Yet Tisane was actually standing in close combat proximity with the three of them and held his ground.No....Matthew's eyes began to quake as his body trembled.We were wrong.I.....I was wrong.It can't be.It can't be!Matthew found himself shivering in fear as he couldn't bring himself to accept that Tisane was actually a......was a.....Mutant.The thought alone was too scary to consider.It would be better if Tisane was a human whom just possess the strength of a mutant.That would only put Tisane in the level of a basic mutant and no more than that.And basic mutant power was just the first stage of power that a mutant can exhibit.There were many more levels of power to a mutant that makes them truly terrifying.Because apart from the raw talent that separates mutants from humans, another major difference between mutants and
'Please dude I need your help' Tisane pleaded.'Oh really? I thought you've become so strong that superman and the hulk combined got nothing on you!' the voiced exclaimed in annoyance.'Hey you don't have to be so angry!' Tisane retorted.'Am the one who's getting beat up you know''Exactly!' The voice was still angry.'You keep getting beat up because you keep losing focus kid''Did you really think that the level of strength that you exhibited against Jerry and the ladies was all there was to a mutant's power?''What do you mean?' Tisane asked with wide eyes.'The level of strength that you're displaying now is just the basics of a mutant's power. First stage if you'll call it''But the level of strength he's displaying is the next stage which is also known as the 'channeling' the voice referred to Matthew.'The channeling......of what?''Of your mutant power dummy!''Am I not already channeling my mutant power?' Tisane asked confusedly.'Hmph. If you were truly channeling your muta
(Flash Back........Matthew and his crew) Jerry was totally reluctant when he was asked by Matthew to accompany him to the NPLC. They were all on break from mutant school and as usual, were given some time to explore the outside world before they would be called back to school.So he was quite stoked to have a pleasurable time at some hotels with some beautiful ladies and ending it all at the beach as he rides the waves to the sunset. He had it all planned out, until Matthew told him to cancel his plans and tag along with Sabrina and Melissa.Matthew was regarded as a genius in the mutant school and was respected by a lot of mutants. He was an advanced grade mutant whom Jerry got acquainted with during an inter grade tournament.Matthew had rescued him from being almost killed by his opponent and because of that, he developed great respect for Matthew. In the mutant school, like every other societal system, you needed someone of a higher status and power to depend on as a way of survi
Under the dragon's behest, the space began to shatter and crumble. With the swipe of it's mighty claws, the spatial walls were torn open which caused the nebula clouds to fall in, resulting in more cataclysmic devastation.The dragon creature was bellowing with laughter as he watched the manifestation of his handiwork. But in the midst of it's laughing spree, it's eyes settled on Tisane, whom seemed unfazed by the chaotic phenomenon that was taking place._{Hmph...so what if you have the will of the Gods?!}__{You won't survive if your mutant soul realm is destroyed!!!}_The dragon was still bragging when a familiar voice echoed through the chaos which brought everything to a standstill._"El majeros!!"_The dragon creature's body shook as the entire space seemed frozen. It's eyes which were on Tisane began to quake as Tisane raised his right hand upwards and made a swiping movement.All of a sudden, the chaotic space began to repair and restructure itself as everything was returning
The dragon began to inject more of it's energy, in order to have a secure hold on the white glow which was already receding down Tisane's throat. The white glow suddenly stopped it's recession as it slowly began to succumb to the dragon creature's pulling force._{I will have you as mine!!}__{Mine and mine alone!!!}_The dragon's eyes flashed with mad determination as it poured more of it's energy in order to secure the white glow. It's eyes widened with joy as the white glow was pulled out towards Tisane's lips.But yet again, the white glow was stuck and refused to go past Tisane's lips. The dragon creature roared again in anger as it sent more of it's energy to pull out the white glow.This battle continued until the white glow began to become more volatile and erratic as it's glow increased. The dragon, in it's mad desperation didn't notice this sudden change on time, and by the time it noticed the sudden change of the white glow, it was too late._~Kablam!!~_There was a terrif
Tisane shook greatly as he heard the dragon's voice. It was a voice that he found extremely familiar._That voice...._He stared at the dragon as it began to approach gradually. Every step it took emitted strength and power._{In all my existence, I have never met a mortal creature as defiant as you}__{You should be proud mortal, for your progenitor was only able to become this tenacious through countless years of training and battles}_Tisane immediately had a moment of déjà vu as the dragon creature got closer, for it's image seemed to overlap with that of a certain monster in his mind. _The mountainous monster!!_Tisane spasmed as the memories came flooding back. His battles with the monster and how he even had to battle the colossal creature when it was split into three. He began to marvel at how he was able to exhibit that level of power in order to battle such terrifying creature._{I always wondered how you were able to contend against me so well}__{Well it seems that you a
As Tisane was engulfed by the Titanic fists, the monsters sighed in elation as they knew that Tisane was surely dead, for their attack was enough to completely obliterate an entire mountain. Halfway into their celebration, they began to frown as they discovered that something was wrong.Tisane whom was in the center of the monsters attack, wiped off a drop of blood that trickled down from the corner of his lips. He actually received the full brunt of the monsters terrifying attack and it was quite surprising that he was still standing and intact.His body was emitting the same brilliant glow, but in a greater intensity than before as he was enraged that he almost died due to the monsters attack. He didn't actually mind dying, but not before he had erased the mountainous monsters from existence.The monsters noticed that an intense force was repelling their fists greatly. After sometime, a powerful white glow erupted in the midst of their attack._{This.....}_Tisane gathered the energ
Tisane raised his head as he gave the mountainous monster a death stare. The monster subconsciously shivered as it's expression betrayed it's fear._''It's afraid.....of me?''_Tisane was amused by the sudden expression of the monster. It was quite soothing to see the monster display such an emotion.Tisane would have loved to mock and tease the abominable creature, but right now, with the power that was flowing through him, he was too eager to make the monster feel the pain that he had been feeling all this while. With a blast, he rushed towards the mountainous monster as he took a flying leap at the monster's face.He was so fast that all the monster could do at that point, was to hastily release the scarlet beam from it's eyes. Tisane didn't try to dodge the monster's attack as he threw his right fist forward._~Bang!~_With a huge explosion, Tisane and the monster's beam collided in the air. He's body was emitting a brilliant white glow as the force propelling him through the air
The earthquake only lasted for some minutes, before something incredible took place. Tisane watched wide eyed as the entire flesh, bones and blood of the dead monsters on the field began to move as if by an unseen force.They were all pulled towards a particular section of the field in front of Tisane. Pieces of flesh and bones began to merge together and pile up into a mountain of bulky meat.It was quite a horrifying sight as the mountain of meat began to take a strange human form. Though this form was more monster than human, it featured powerful muscular arms and legs.On it's head protruded various horns of different sizes. It's eyes a reddish gold hue shone like stars.It's mouth displayed a disorderly arrangement of huge sharp rows of teeth. The aura it emitted was so pressurizing that the air itself became so heavy and thick that it felt like being submerged in an ocean of paste.Tisane silently affirmed as he saw the monstrosity before him._''Finally, I have met the devil him
Tisane watched the sliced open body of the anaconda as it emitted a powerful putrid smell. Though, Tisane was able to kill three of such powerful monsters, he had no iota of joy or happiness in him.From the corner of his eye, he saw the overwhelming number of monsters which had surrounded him, each of them waiting for their turn to tear him to pieces. He knew that no matter how well he fights, he would not be able to kill them all._''I am going to die here''_Tisane now stood at the moment of his demise as his body shook in fear. The fear of death was the greatest fear that any mortal creature could ever feel._{You have performed slightly above expectation mortal. Your fighting spirit is quite admirable, unfortunately it will not be enough to save you from gruesome death!}_Tisane whom was shaking in fear initially, suddenly gripped the stinger weapon in his hand tightly as he gritted his teeth in anger. The voice that spoke only helped to irritate him to no end."F**k you!!"Tisan
The tentacle uncoiled itself as droplets of flesh and bone sprinkled out of its suckers. Tisane felt his heart bleed and his eyes pool with tears as he saw what was once his father now turned to be bloody pieces of bone and tissue.They were all dead.....Everyone.....He was all alone...._{I expect you mortals to show humility and surrender in the face of death. Feigning arrogance or courage will do you no good}__{Don't worry boy, after you give me what I want, I will make sure that you see your family again}_Tisane's body began trembling, not in fear or despair but in anger. He's entire family was slaughtered before his eyes by the same monster who was speaking so arrogantly, as if their lives were put in it's hands."You bastard..."Tisane muttered as he remembered his father's last words which ignited a flame inside him."You bastard!!!"The ignited flame became a raging inferno as Tisane roared out in anger._{What?! How dare you address me with such insulting and derogatory w
