Machine and chains. That's all Chosen ever known. The smell of iron and rubber suffocated him, as he lay in his dark cold cage.
His body is full of burn scars and whatever sh*t they did to him. But he feels numb like the nerves in his body were burned away.
He tugs the chains around his neck and contemplates whether it'll be worth the punishment to break it, before deciding that there's no point, since he would still be stuck in this cage.
He doesn't get it. He doesn't get the purpose of his creation, why he's being treated like a dangerous animal. He doesn't get why he's being forced to burn codes and lines that don't do anything.
He is tired. And cold. And sick. Of being treated like a machine. Of being stuck in this cage with this f*cking chains. He is sick, of those workers who don't even look at him like he's a real person.
He's getting out of here, one way or another.
So he patiently waits for when they'll come to move him again. Those people always make sure to use a different path every time they have to move him, but he always remembers. Always memorized the twists and turns of the facilities. And it all leads back to that lab.
After hours of waiting, he hears the familiar sound of metal gears and a heavy thud of doors opening, followed by multiple footsteps. There stood four workers, covered head to toe with protection suits, armed with that damn taser.
They must've felt his hostility, cause as soon as they saw him, they flinched. Cowards.
Two of them stood in front of the cage and stared at him with caution and slight fear. "Don't even try anything. You don't want him to come visit." One of them said as they tapped his cage with their weapon.
Chosen just stares at them unblinking, gaze unsettling as he waits for his cage to be open. The workers probably noticed his unusual focus as they tightened their grip to their weapon.
The cage door groaned open, metal grinding through the silence. They cuffs his hands behind his back, covering them to prevent him from using his fire. Then they unlocked the chains on his neck and legs.
Chosen observed the dark corridor as he was dragged to the lab. He recognized this path, and just around the corner would be the cafeteria and there's probably a back door he can use to get out.
So just before they passed the cafeteria, Chosen dropped low and swept his leg across the floor and took two workers down.
He immediately ran through the cafeteria to the kitchen, as the workers behind him scrambled to catch him and call for backups.
The workers that were already in the cafeteria all stood up and tried to stop Chosen, but clearly they didn't have their weapon as they didn't immediately attack him.
Chosen was about to reach the kitchen before being blocked by other workers. He steps back as he realizes that he is surrounded.
The ones that have weapons were getting closer to him and he knew that it's only a matter of time before he gets caught.
As he was getting desperate, he glared at the worker that blocked him hoping he could intimate them.
Heat began to build behind his eyes and before he knew it, his visions turned red. Then a beam of light blasted out, scorching the spot that the worker had been a second before he jumped aside.
Chosen immediately directs the beam towards other workers and makes sure they weren't closing in on him. He then turns to burn off the cuffs on his hands.
He flexed his hands and got ready to run before he realized that he has a new ability. Just as a worker lunged at him, he dodged away and shot lasers at them.
There was a moment of silence as Chosen relished his new ability and slowly turned towards the other worker. They must have seen his intent as they all scrambled backwards and got as far away from him.
He stalked towards them like a predator ready to hunt-
Alarms blared through the facilities, drowning all the shouts and screams. The whole building shook with every blast as Chosen destroyed all machines and shot lasers at anything that moves. Fire razed everything to the ground.
Every worker that attempts to get close to him all ends up the same, on the floor either dying or dead.
A sick burn of satisfaction filled him as he watched them crawl away from him.
He tore through all the labs, mercilessly hunting down every single one of those workers. Until he reached his lab. The most secure lab that there is in this building... Where he was tested the most.
Chosen f*cking hates this room. Hate how clean and organized everything is, like they didn't just poke and probe him until he was bleeding. Hate how they all looked at him like a machine to study and twist him into whatever they want.
And there he stood with his clean white coat. His back turned, facing the screen that shows Chosen's data. Complete and updated with his new ability.
"I was wondering when you'll get here" He slowly turned towards Chosen and clasped his hand behind his back. "You never were the one to sit still, are you?"
Chosen marched towards that man as he saw red. He shoots lasers at him, but the laser reflects back at him. So he immediately ducked and moved away.
"You think I'm stupid enough to let you come to me without protection? Honestly, I'm disappointed, Chosen." He shakes his head and walks towards the other end of the room.
"I would have thought we were close enough for you to understand me." He stops at the control station, resting a hand on one of the buttons.
Chosen braces himself, fear prickling at the thought that that man might have already set up a trap.
The man just chuckled and gestures for Chosen to look at the screen. "Why don't you look at the masterpiece that you've created on your way here."
He presses a button, and the data changes into the security footage.
Chosen looked over... and froze. His breath hitched and a cold grip of fear tightened around his chest.
Red. All the camera shows the color red painted on every wall and floor. Bodies litter all over, and fire raging in every corner of the screen.
"Finally realize how dangerous you are, Chosen?"
Chosen flinched and his guts twisted violently as he recalled the feeling of satisfaction when he hunted them down.
A hand suddenly touched his shoulder and he jumped in shock. He hadn't even heard the man move.
"This is why we do these things, Chosen. You're dangerous. And now, you've become a monster." The man's grip tightened.
Chosen trembles, shaking his head in denial. He tried to pry the man's hand away, but then a familiar burning shock tore through his body.
He collapsed, curled instinctively as his body twitched violently. He tries to shoot lasers but the man calmly closes his eyes.
"You've played long enough, Chosen. Maybe it's time I put you in another test."
A cold chill crawled down his spine. He desperately tried to move his body but his muscles were locked tight.
"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be fine... Probably." Chosen could hear the grin in his voice, and that terrified him.
He should've taken his chances.
He shouldn't have let revenge blind him
As he felt the blood drying on his hand, the truth settled heavily on his chest.
