Max held in his tears he didn't want to cry or scream, but the pain, the sheer intensity of it was pushing Max to his breaking point.
*HEY, I'M NOT A MONSTER YOU KNOW SO YOU CAN SCREAM AND CRY JUST REMEMBER DO. NOT. FAINT. IF YOU WANT YOU WILL 100% DIE*
Upon hearing HUE's words max started to scream, yell and groan in pain. Soon his vision started to go black. As HUE had said fainting was not an option, and Max had no intentions of dying anytime soon.
He wanted to meet his family again, even if it meant having to join a war he didn't want to. Accepting a life he didn't want. As his vision darkened. He yet he kept trying to keep himself conscious.
He now knew why he would hear blood-curdling screams, coming from around his room.
Just as Davis had said humans were truly fucked up.
*OMEGA, DO NOT LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS PLEASE. YOU WILL DIE.*
HUE's words weren't going through to Max, the pain was causing his ears to ring violently.
His head felt like someone had just blown it off with a grenade, for the first time Max felt like he was truly going to die.
Unknowingly max had started to claw into his head, but he couldn't tell as the pain from his nails tearing his skin was nothing compared to what he was feeling.
The screams continued for what seemed like an eternity, HUE who was yelling at the top of his voice box was not seeing any results, he knew that Max wouldn't be able to take it for long.
He had tried everything, from giving Max instructions to using dangerous amounts of morphine (an extremely powerful painkiller)
******
At that moment HUE did something he would have normally never have done. After spending so much time with Max he had grown quite fond of him, for the first time HUE decide to break protocol.
*CALLING AVA WILLIAMS*
******
"Hello?" A frail feminine voice said
Max who was currently shaking in pain heard the faint voice
"M-om" he muttered
"Hello? who is this?
"..." Although max wanted to speak he was physically incapable of speaking
"Is this a prank call?"
Suddenly the pain Max was feeling lessened
Ava let out a *sigh* "alright I'm hanging-"
"WAIT!" Max yelled at the top of his lungs cutting Ava off
"... M-max?" She said hoping her ears didn't deceive her
"I-it... *ugh*.. me mom" Max replied, he truly no longer had any strength left in him he left as if he would faint any second, but he wanted to talk to mother for as long as he could
"MAX! WHERE ARE YOU? TELL ME I-I- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE I PROMISE" she shouted desperately
"I love.. you mom" Max no longer had any strength left in him, he was glad that he was able to talk to his mother despite not being able to say everything he wanted. Max was content knowing that he had said his goodbye
"MAX I *SOB* LOVE YOU TOO, WHERE ARE *SOB* YOU?"
"MAX?"
".."
"EVERYONE MISSES YOU *SOB* SO MUCH"
".."
"PLEASE *SOB* COME HOME *SOB*
Max no felt any pain, it was completely gone. Rather he started to feel better It was almost like he had some sort of newfound strength.
*YOU DID IT, YOU SURVIVED IT WORKED!* HUE cried in joy
"I'll come home soon... mom" he replied before fainting
__________
"Ugh, my head" Max groaned as he got up
*HEY! HEY! SLEEPY HEAD* HUE welcomed him
*CONGRATULATIONS YOU SURVIVED*
"Hey HUE..."
Max looked around himself, he felt extremely dizzy, and he could still hear a faint ringing sound. He got up and immediately felt something different.
Max was now taller
"Hey, uh HUE am I taller than I used to be? Or is it just me?" He spoke completely confused, his body looked bigger as well. His clothes felt super tight.
*HEY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO?* HUE said in an attempt to jog his memory
"Two day-" almost instant visions started to flash through his eyes
"MOM!?" He cried remembering the brief conversation he had with his mother
*ER, ABOUT THAT COULD YOU JUST KEEP QUIET ABOUT IT?* HUE asked nervously
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN CALL MOM AGAIN!" Max yelled completely disregarding the rules.
HUE had told him that couldn't do things like calling random people, he was "smart" enough to do that.
It was a lie but Max bought it.
*HEY NO CAN DO AMIGO, I DON'T WANT TO GET DELETED OKAY?*
*AND DO I HAVE TO REMIND YOU OF THE RULES AGAIN?*
Max felt angry, he finally had a chance to talk to his mother yet a stupid A. I kept on rejecting him.
He began to remember the day Davis stripped him away from his family.
He was usually a very calm and collected person, and he would often keep his anger in check. The constant fear of accidentally breaking one of the rules had kept him in check.
But, today he had lost control of himself, the truth of the matter is, he no longer cared. He had concluded that if Max was special to the CROSS they would want to keep him alive.
in a fit of rage, max punched the wall and much to Max's surprise the wall caved in from where he punched it
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
*DAMAGE DETECTED* *DAMAGE DETECTED*
*HEY! STOP TH- DID YOU JUST BREAK THE WALL?" HUE yelled in anger, anger with shorty turned into shock
"I-i did," Max said being confused himself
*THEY TOLD ME YOU WOULD GET STRONGER, BUT THAT'S JUST CRAZY*
*THAT WALL IS MADE OF KELTAL, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?* HUE was completely CPU boggled
Keltal was a strong metal that was found on kepler-452B. It was stronger than tungsten.
"THE WALLS ARE MADE OF KELTAL?" Max screamed in shock, his dad was a mineralogist,
So he knew exactly how strong and expensive keltal was.
*WELL THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SEEING A BLUE, SO MAYBE I JUST UNDERESTIMATED YOUR STRENGTH*
Max paused for a second, He wanted to know what had happened to him
"A blue?" Max said scratching his head
*WELL, YOU ARE, THOSE WHO ARE INJECTED WITH THE BLUE SERUM ARE CALLS BLUES*
*THE SERUM ENHANCES EVERYTHING, YOUR STRENGTH, SPEED, AGILITY, STAMINA AND EVEN YOUR REGENERATION RATE*
"Wait, so, im- im a superhuman now?" Max asked in disbelief
*WELL YOU DID JUST PUNCH A HOLE INTO A WALL MADE OF KALTEL ANY DOUBTS?*
The way HUE was putting it made Max believe that he could now escape. After seeing what he did he certainly did believe so.
Max immediately rushed towards the main door of his room and punched it as hard as he could, a loud explosion could be heard along with a cracking sound followed by a blood-curdling scream
*OUCH*
Max looked at his hand to see that it was completely broken his fingers were mangled and bent in ways he didn't think were possible
*OMEGA CALM DOWN YOU CAN'T DO THAT THEY'LL DELETE ME!*
the door had been blown clean off, Max's was in tears, he could finally leave.
Or that's what he thought
