Saikou's perspective*
Dr. Tenma what are you doing?
Are you mad!
Blub
NO! NO! NO!
Blub
We need to sacrifice these kids to maintain humanity!
I still remember it. the very first time I felt pain. I heard these people arguing outside my pod, while I just stood there listening to them.
It's... it's So cold. The air became heavier as it struggled to travel down my airways.
I just did the very thing you could never do
The man then continued to laugh, until I felt something pierce my body. A long tube of sorts pumping green liquid into my bloodstreams. I didn't feel anything at first, but as it pumped in more my muscles began to bend. Crack my bone becoming disfigured, and my body shrinking and growing.
I... I can't move. I wanted to cry but my tears freezes in an instant.
Emergency sleep initiated
What have I done!?
it.. it got colder. My body's bending faster as the temperature dropped lower, My breathing then became fast, as my bone cracked with each of my movements.
crack
I screamed at the top of my lungs but none came out of my mouth. I pleaded for help but none came. My body's being stabbed by the shards of my bone leaving me in constant agony.
Inside out, everything was being pulled apart and quickly being squished back together. Constantly tormenting me. Time became slow and my eyes unable to cry. I still screamed inside my head hoping someone would hear me. But it still kept going, the excruciating feeling that haunts me.
Until... it suddenly...
stopped
I suddenly stopped feeling anything. My body's still contorting yet I've become numb to it. the pain and agony reduced to a minor tingling sensation. For a long time of me enduring it my mind finally adapted to the pain and turned it all off.
I.. am I supposed to be happy that it stopped? I- I can't remember.
My breathing became normal as I tried to control my deformed body. I moved it slowly in place. Placing back the bones as if it's a puzzle piece. Little by little I've put my self back together. Thru trial and error I managed to learn how to control it's deforming capabilities, by making my body normal then quickly transforming it to another shape.
Throughout the time I've been locked up in this cold prison, I've heard stories about the world outside. I can't hear the people talking about it now, but I still remembered how they described it.
Leaves and grass that dances with the wind as it blew, green pastures that extends out to the end of the lands, and massive structures with colorful lights illuminating the streets.
For a long time kept Imagining and, Wondering what might be outside of this darkness... Wondering what will I see if I opened my eyes? I have finally controlled the abilities of my body, so with an overgrowing curiosity I tried to punch the glass, to no avail. My body's too cold to obtain force.
Beeep beep beep Pod breach has been detected
Alarms started whaling, I heard the pods near me being opened one by one. My heart started to pound faster as my curiosity took over me. One by one they opened it and finally...
I heard the doors of my prison being opened, my body slowly warming up as the room temperature touched my body. I opened my eyes, in excitement on what to see. Light overcame my vision and I squinted my eyes, slowly adjusting to the brightness. But as soon as I can fully see what's beyond me. It's all so mundane.
I see no color...
My excitement withered away as a man carried me on his back, slowly walking while my body's still unable to move.
I didn't know what I expected, I've learned all I know about the world on what I've heard, but what's all of this? My breathing then suddenly started to be inconsistent, I struggled but I still can't move my body. I.. I can't breathe, I started to scream but nothing's coming out of my mouth. I tried to move but my muscles won't budge. As I attempted to free up my airways, my mind finally had enough. My vision became blurry, and my eyes became heavy. Rage engulfed my body as I try to break free. But my eyes closed indefinitely, and I...
Blacked out.
Yer, sure this is worth it boss? I mean that Doctor guy sure is paying alot for this kids
I regained consciousness some time later while laying down on a hard cold moving van. I tried to move but my left hand is cuffed upon some rusty chains. Producing sounds as I moved.
cling clang
Inside the van was 4 kids like me, they were sleeping and appears to have not yet recovered. Seeing that there's no benefit on me waking them up, and potentially alerting the men that took us, I stayed still and sat while leaning on the walls. Being unable to stand, I listened to their conversation not really minding the nonsense they're spouting. That is until I heard a familiar name.
"Ain't 30 million a bit too much for them kids boss? The bald man asked the driver while smiling widely.
"Quit yer yapping rookie, Dr. Tenma's a man of science, he'll pay large amounts for them kids"
My eyes widened and my pupils shrank as I heard his name.
We even brought these pods with us! This must be worth alot of dough
My body shook uncontrollably, as my eyes began to wander. I-I don't want to go back.
Old chap even say we can keep them pods, cause he has something new to contain them kids they then laughed.
I- I don't want to go back that prison. That hellish cold, and the torment of being in my mind slowly forgetting who I am. I-I can't go back! I stared in the face of nothingness, thinking how I could escape.
Until.
I sharpened and enlarged my bones, exposing it while using my flesh as support. I then slashed the chain, freeing me from it's grasp. Being near the backdoor of the van, I crawled up to the front where the wall separating me and the driver is located, freeing the others while I'm at it. Opening the back and jumping outside would've been faster, but I can't risk the injuries that I would have to endure when I hit the ground.
I placed myself at the center, enlarging the flat blade at the tip of my hands, and making my arms bulkier to support it's shape. I twisted my shoulder until it shrank, making it's elastic energy reach its maximum.
We're rich boss!
They kept on laughing hysterically
I then let go off my shoulders making my arms spin. It then stretched out slicing the walls of the van, barely missing the sleeping kids, Only being able to cut of a single strand of their hair. At fast rate it traveled towards the front section of the van, breaking the glass and decapitating the heads of the men.
My arms then traveled around the van, completely slicing off it's roof. Forces of the wind then lifted up the heads, making it land in front of me.
Their eyes are wide open as if they just had realized what had happened. Small pupils, and their mouth gaping as if they were about to shout. Terror haunted their faces as their head spilled a pool of red blood, completely devouring their heads.
I felt nothing when I looked at them, I know I should feel something but...
I didn't.
The van spiraled out of control, and slid off the road hitting a fence guarding a field of wheat. When the van finally stopped, I crawled outside, before attempting to stand. My legs then wobbled unable to to maintain balance and I tumbled down the field, and making the wheat break my fall.
The sun shone on my face, making me notice the sky and the bed of wheat I'm laying on. The clouds moved slowly on the colorless sky, the wheat stood against the wind refusing to dance and the sounds of the birds being drowned by the sounds of the wrecked van.
My face began to relax as I attempted again to stand up, this time I've finally maintained my balance and tried to walk, only for it to make me fall again. I continuously attempted to walk and began experiencing trial and error. I kept walking until I finally got a hang of it, slowly increasing in speed. I followed the road when I finally got out of the fields. the leaves of the trees around me are being dragged down by gravity towards hell. I kept walking, night and day no matter how hot or cold, I kept walking. Not stopping to sleep nor eat.
Cars have been passing by around me, and not caring. So I never stopped walking.
a purple car then stopped ahead of me. A woman, that's white as milk, with long nose and blonde hair stepped outside, and proceeded to run towards my direction. I readied my arm, in case of her attacking.
She ran towards me while the trees danced, it looks as if they were cheering for her. I tried to scream at her to stop, but random noises only came out of my mouth.
She stopped 5 feet away from me.
"What happened to you?"
She said in a soft voice
"are you okay?"
She looked at me, with so much sympathy in her eyes.
I tried to answer back to her, only being able to spout out noises.
She noticed my arms transforming and said
"Calm down, I'm not here to hurt you"
she smiled at me with the utmost innocence.
A small blade finally formed on my right hand. She then ran at me, but before I was able to attack her.
She hugged my little body.
Her hug was so warm, making my mind feel at ease and transforming my hand back to normal.
"Don't worry I'm here"
she said with her sweet and soft voice.
Her voice made my tired body relaxed, and my eyes finally closed again.
