A month Ago before the incident at the bank.
Darmian woke up from a bed in a huge room. He wondered whether what he had gone through was a dream. He could swear he was dead. 'Where am I' Darmian wondered as he looked around the room. It looked like he was on a hospital bed but in a private room.
He disconnected the the tubes and wires connected to him. He tried getting up to walk but right after his feet touched the ground he fell.
"Careful, you just woke after a long sleep. It will take some time to get used to walking again." A man dressed in a white said. His name was Doctor Strange.
"Where am I?" Darmian asked.
"Well hi too, my name is Doctor Strange and...."
"I don't care who you are!"
"Oh well, we got an angry one over there. You are in God's palace."
"God's palace?" Darmian said as he slowly made it back on his feet.
"Yes, God's palace and God saved your life."
"God? Who's this God..." just before Darmian could complete his sentence he had a flashback he remembered now. He saved his friend and got killed, well he thought he was.
"Where's Rez, what did you do to him?" Darmian asked with rage. He sprang towards The Doctor.
"He ran, he left you to die." A magestic loud voice sounded.
"Who are you?!" Darmian asked.
"I'm Xyzo Rangera."
The doctor was delighted all this while after all God just spoke. Suddenly a figure appeared before Darmian he could have sworn he didn't even blink.
"You sacrifice your life for your friends and he leaves you to the grip of death." Xyzo said.
That's right.
Darmian remembered he gave his life for Rez but didn't bother to take him with them when they escaped.
"No, that's not true." Darmian said with tears in his eyes. The friend he knew would never do that to him.
"What's the truth then, that your friend didn't care about your life?"
"No!" Darmian screamed it seems he was about to have a mental break down. The evidence was clear Darmian had been left by Rez to die. Was there no such thing as brothers for life?.
To add salt to injury was told he had been living a new life and had not even bothered to wonder what happened to him.
"They didn't see your worth but I do. I saved you. I made you stronger, a God to be feared among men?"
Darmian suddenly went silent he had break so easily. His hair was now white as a result.of the transfer of blood. it seems the doctor has infused Xyzo DNA into Darmian's.
It was pretty dangerous, he could have died many did, but Darmian somehow survived and was now hypnotised into becoming a tool for destruction.
Yes, Xyzo had played a little mental game on Darmian to be able to use him for destruction.
"I'm going to kill those sons of bitches, that left me to die!" Darmian said with a very angry expression.

PRESENT TIME.
"Let's Go Darmian it's been a busy day." the brown haired man said. This was an Elder. His name was Steve Log nicknamed Replica. He had the ability to copy other people's power and he was pretty strong too.
But for some reason he had not been able to copy Darmian's power and after today he thought the reason may be that he was too weak but that was far from the issue.
Darmian stood up and followed then they immediately disappeared.
"Captain Lex..." The Captain's comm suddenly went on.
"What's the issue?"
"Sir we just received a report that a whole Area has suddenly been covered in Ice ."
"What!" Captain Lex jaw opened so wide it could have touched the floor. The was unheard of.
"Sending you pictures right away." the lady voice behind the comm said.
~Peep~ the images were received. Captain Lex couldn't believe it. It would take an unimaginable power to do this.
"Sir! You have to see this!". Just then Zero wanted to show the pictures is the incident to the Captain.
"I already know"Captain Lex interrupted him with a frightened look and voice.
People all around started murmuring, it seemed the word of what happened had already spread.
Rez who was at this point confused ask one of the people what had happened.
"An area had been found buried under ice"
"Huh, let me see" Rez looked at the pictures.
"Which area is this" Rez asked.
"Area 367" the lady replied.
"Excuse me, did you just say Area 367?".Rez asked.
"Yes, Area 367."
Before Rez could do anything, the Captain found him and placed a hand on his shoulder as if to comfort him.
'All those people were killed' Rez thought to himself.
Later that day the news agencies couldn't stop talking about the incident. In fact, if a news agency didn't cover it then they were not serious.
In a meeting room in Area 001 several people sat, they were mixed with every task force. The Agency, the police, the army. The General was in his Summer clothes as usual. There were leaders of several branch agency. They were just like Captain Lex in terms of position but in terms of rank, strength and attribute it differed.
The General sat with a grim face his two hands supported his chin. His eyes were closed, he was pondering over the images he saw
"Who did this" he finally spoke.
"Sir, we believe it's the scorpions. No one has any motive for destruction such as they." One of the Agency leaders spoke. It was a Lady called Evangeline. Her whole department or agency were specialist in healing. They were very good at it too. They assigned at least one agent to every agency.
They Agency had only ten branches. They were led by powerful people. Captain Lex happens to be one of them.
As soon as Evangeline said that there seemed to be a lot of murmuring in the room. The place was noisy.
"How can you say that, there's no one with that ability in that cult." The Commander in Chief ifor police retorted.
"What if there is?" Captain Lex said as soon as he remembers something. The whole looked at him as if he just stepped on the table dancing suddenly.
"What do you mean?" The General asked.
"On the day we rescued Subject 2A43, a friend of his died or at least that's what I thought happened. Anyways, so we left him there and escaped with the subject." Rez would have been surprised to hear the term they called him with 'Subject'.
Captain Lex continued "His body was not found after we went back. From our Intel he has the ability to control Ice. What if...?"
"He is now the monster?" the General said.

Rez' Apartment.
Rez was unbelievably restless and sad within his spirit, he never thought this could happen to the Area he grew up in.
Unknowingly to the Captain, Rez has also drawn the same conclusion as him. He too knew that Darmian could be the one responsible but he couldn't believe it.
Back then, freezing a 300ml bottle was a problem for Darmian. He couldn't believe Darmian would have the strength to do something like this....
'Or....wait...is this...' Rez suddenly stopped in his thought process.
'Could Darmian have gone through what he heard about, Awakening?'.
Rez knew only one thing he had to grow even stronger he couldn't confront Darmian.
It won't take even a full simple sentence for him to end up dead.
Rez finally calmed himself down, as he slept he had a dream.
