Chapter 2 Metamorphosis Begins

Two years later..

...Torian awoke to find himself in a strange pod he quickly jerked forward and hit his head and rubbed his forehead. He touched the glass and it began to crystallize. (What the hell am I doing in this pod and what the hell is going on with my body?) Torian quickly punched the glass and fell forward and caught himself on his hands. As began to stand up alarms blared as strange men in battle armor and four doctors came rushing into the lab. "Put your hands up and come with us quietly." said the captain....

...Scared, Torian had no choice but to comply and two guards began to walk up to Torian when one of them saw Torian bleeding from his knuckles. "Hey doc it's bleeding come take a look." A doctor began to run over to Torian when all of sudden she saw Torian's blood sparkle and Torian breathed in and out slowly and muttered: "Crystal Dust Illusion!" The scent of iron was heavy as the blood puddle began to evaporate and crystal particles began to cloud their vision. "Damn it! activate your heat signature goggles and find it now! Attention all personel we have a Z-Gene baby on the loose all units be on the look out."...

...Torian quickly slipped out the pod room and looked around frantically trying to find a way out. "Psst, over here!" Torian turned to the voice and ran over to it. "Follow me." Torian and the mysterious figure began to run away as heavy footsteps could be heard clammering as Torian and the mysterious figured reached an air duct and they both crawled in the air duct. "So where am I? Who are you? What is a Z-Gene baby? And who are those guys that are chasing us?" "Well to answer your first question you are in an underground laboratory and my name is Yu'Saria." "Nice to meet you Yu'Saria and my name's Torian." "As for the last question. A Z-Gene baby is a shorter way of saying RPB's which is short for Riot Power Babies. Not only that Z-Gene was discovered by Zeion Genetics Incoperated." "Whoa, how long was out for?" "Two years." Torian stopped trying to come to terms with the information he was just thrown. "Hey snap out of it. There will be time to come to realizations after we get out of here." "Ohh sweet we're here." Yu'Saria knocked down one of the vent grates and jumped down into a room Torian jumped down behind her. "So where are we?" "We're in a special room." "What do you mean by tha...Augh!"...

...The lights came on and began to unleash a sonic energy blast he cried out and writhed in agony as he covered his ears as he cradled up in the fetal position. A flood of Z-Gene guards flooded the room. "YOU BETRAYED ME!" "Did I really?" Yu'Saria smirked and began to sing as he did the guards stopped in their tracks that's when she absorbed the sonic energy attacking Torian and blasted the lights out. "Get up Torian!" Torian meekly got up and used all his strength to try and stand up. Yu'Saria walked over to Torian and held him close to her chest and whispered: "Torian you're the Miracle Inaric City and I will need in the future. When you're falling I will be the pillar to the bridge that leads to a better and safer world I will be your foundation hidden in the shadows while you become the crystal beacon this city and the world will need."...

...Torian opened his eyes and they turned from brown to an amethyst purple. Torian began to glitter as crystal particles surrounded his body and walked over to a guard and stretched out his hand and put a crystal shard in his head. "Whoa! What the hell are you doing!?" "I can see his memories and feel his guilt and feel his hatred." "That's so freaky." "Not as freaky as what I'm seeing right now." That's when the captain bit her tounge causing Torian to fall and Yu'Saria caught Torian and cradled his head in her lap....

..."Long Live Homosapiens!" That's when all the guards in the room bit their tounges all saying the same thing the captain had said. "Hey, what did you see? Also, what did they mean by Long Live Homosapiens?" "Zeion Genetics is declaring war on all Z-Gene babies and they're raising an army to combat us. Not to mention my father is Yuinlom Ashruma and he's known as the best Scientist and Trillionare." "So you're saying we'll be going to war with Zeion Genetics?" "That's right and I can't let my my  fellow Z-Gene brother's and sister's down. Will you help me in my quest?" "I told you. I'll be your foundation hidden in the shadows." Yu'Saria moved a strand of Torian's long curly hair out of his face and smiled at him. "So what's our first plan of action?" questioned Yu'Saria. "First step get the hell out of here and we search for two of my friends." "Alright, let's bust out of this bitch!" "By the way I'm sorry I led you into a trap I just couldn't leave you here and it was the only way I could think of gaining your trust while getting rid of one of the Z-Gene patrols." "I forgive you, but I don't know if I'll be able to trust you so easily." "I understand."...

...Torian started to get up and Yu'Saria got up and outstretched her hand. "Come on, I know it's not a start of earning your trust back but I've got your back from here on out." Torian grabbed Yu'Saria's hand and she lifted him up. Torian and Yu'Saria ran out the room as they did they could hear more foot steps pursuing them. Yu'Saria knelt down and put one finger on the steel cold floor and she could feel the vibration tremors in the steel and she turned to face her adversaries. "What are you doing Yu'Saria?" "I'll hold off the patrol dogs you go try to find a way out of here!" "But what about you?" "I'm Yu'Saria, I'll catch up with you. But, you can call me SongStress." Yu'Saria gave a sly smirk and gave Torian a thumbs up. "Be careful SongStress." "Always." Torian continued forward and stopped at a room and entered the room and saw it was a giant super computer. "Whoa! she's a beaut." Torian walked over to the super computer and began to hack into the computer. Torian then saw that victims of the RPB'S. He saw that Corri, and Hector where part of it and tried to look them up and saw that they were in a convoy on their way to high security facility just northwest of the Inaric City. "I found them. Now it's time for me to get SongStress and we can get out of here. But, first I need to download this information hm? I wonder if I could..."...

Torian put his hand to the computer console and a crystal shard began to absorb the computers data. "So you're Master Yuinlom's son." Torian turned around to see a strange cybernetic man with an infrared scanning eye. "Who are you?" "Let's just say I'm a contractee and I'm here to fulfill said contract." "So you're a bounty hunter?" "I prefer the term justice bringer and you can call Hypnois" "Who do I have the honor of addressing?" "You can go back and tell my father I denounce him and Crystallis is my name!" "Well, Well Crystallis I'll let you give him the message yourself."

Crystallis and Hypnois charged at each other engaging eachother in hand to hand combat. Both were equal but Hypnois was just a bit better and Crystallis was knocked back into the super computer. "Oh, and as for the information you're gathering I'm taking that too I might get bonus for it. Better yet Perhaps I'll go for that girl." Crystallis' heart began to beat fast thinking about what could happen to her. "You will not touch her!" Crystallis's eyes turned icy blue and he slammed his hands on the floor. "Crystal Blue Rain!" the crackle of electricity could be heard as the floor began to crystallize. "Shit!" Hypnois jumped in the air dodgeing the crystallzation. "Oh no you don't!" Crystallis slammed both his hands together and invisible floating crystal shards began to glow and emitted and electrical current throughout Hypnois cybernetics."Guargh! When in the hell did you conjure these?" Hypnois said straining to break free. "Sorry this ain't anime Hypnois. I'm not going to tell you this is real life." "Mood Crystal Prison!"

Tiny crystal particles began to eat into Hypnois' cybernetics he screamed in pain as the crystals began to rip through him. That's when his cybernetic eye glowed red and it broke free of the cybernetics and it activated a portal. "I shall return Crystallis." Hypnois laughed and slipped into the portal. (Hypnois, you might either be the greatest enemy I will face or the greatest ally? Only time will tell.)
