The mystery man led them down to his building.
“Building F? This building’s been
abandoned for years. Care to explain?”
“My apologies, sir, but because it
wasn’t being used, I took the liberty of occupying it. For a good cause, too. Oh,
and by the way, people here call me Apo.”
“Apo?”
“Short for apocalypse.”
He opened the doors to the
building. Inside were labs, prison cells, and much more beyond the imagination.
It looked like the very thought of the future.
He led him to his office, which
included a room that was separated by some sort of clear material that didn’t
look as fragile as glass.
“I’ll introduce you to our friends
in a moment. This place is where we witness incredible beings with incredible
abilities. There aren’t that many other ways to describe it but in actions. So,
without further ado, here is the first of them.”
A girl walked into the clear room. “For
starters,” Apo said. “This room is the indestructible place called the chamber.”
The girl stood right in front of them now. She had long black hair, black eyes,
and wore a regular teenage Goth outfit. She looked about fifteen. “This is KY. Short
for Katheryine Yeasmine. She has the ability to create illusions. For example,
her eyes. Show us an illusion, KY!”
She closes her eyes. The atmosphere
changes, and suddenly the room is full of corpses and sorrow, and darkness.
“Ah, yes, the dark life. This is
her favorite illusion. Next!”
A boy steps up next. He has blonde
hair, and looks about sixteen. “This is Jameson. We call him Hypno. He has the
ability to make anyone obey his order with just his voice. Next!”
A tiny girl stepped up next,
looking about fourteen at most. She had long curly blonde hair, and the face of
a doll. “This is Alyss. She has the amazing ability to make people see, feel
and hear things just by touching them. We call her silver. Next!”
A boy sauntered his way into the room.
He looked seventeen, with average looks and a few heavy scars. “This is Karma. Best
one we’ve had yet, with the worst attitude. He can make his body turn to metal!
Next!”
A girl, probably the oldest, steps
up. She has short black hair falling over her face. “This is Jahenna. She can
hear and read thoughts. We call her dilemma.”
A girl pops her head out once
Jahenna leaves.
“Who is that?” Apo sighs. “This is
Madeleine. We don’t quite comprehend her ability yet.”
