Chapter 4 - Red Eyes

"Huh-"

*chusk*

*Stab*

"ARRRRGGHHH!!!!"

Black blades pierce through Dre's astral body from the chest to the abdomen and his hands and legs lay chained on the ground.

"AAAARGGHHHH.... Ahhhhh....ahh? Why? .. Why am I not feeling anything" I think out loud, perhaps because I am in my mind...

"why aren't you feeling anything? Well of course you don't, Why would I hurt myself? Look at yourself"

As I was about to pass it off as a weird taunt, my curiosity got the better of me. Holding my breath, I slowly peeked a look over my arms....

Shocked to his core, Dre sees his hand and torso completely changed, his arms were black with red patterns. It was two thirds of his original forearm size, but...

They were longer, his nails were like a tiger's claw, and on his palm was a burning spot. His legs were twice the size of his original, with black thighs and red patterns till the knees... the knee down was red, with a blade like outgrowth on the shin and then the calves covered in black.

"wha-WHAT THE HELL IS THIS" preplexed, Dre is taken aback, but his speed was something he didn't account for, which broke the chains and moved him so far back that the red eyes that covered his entire sight, now looked like a red signal in a long traffic jam.

Caught off guard by his speed, Dre was able to find something to stop himself.. It came to him as naturally as any other muscle... Making him look over his back.....

A pair of orange and scarlet wings spread behind him-

*Grab*

Four new chains grab hold of Dre's limbs

"as I said, I'll be taking over now" the red eyes, moving to point blank range, declares as a new set of blades take form.

"I...I....can't let you to! I.....I am a knight! And I know us knights will always take things back to the way they were!.... And I... I want to be a part of it, I cant" in a breaking voice..... "I can't...."

"ahhh I am not a counseller you know" in a bored voice says the red voice.

"thought break" slowly muttering to himself, Dre closes his eyes and gets his composure back

"you killed a lot of my friends, I can't let you do that anymore, even if I have to die..... I have regrets.... but I am satisfied, if my friends survive when things go back to normal"

"the drama aside, how are you kill yourself, and also just to put it out there, I didn't kill anyone, well maybe I gave someone the powet to, but I had no intention of it, The leviathan already had a parasite, which I wasn't aware and hence couldn't take control of, making the leviathan the main host go berserk....

Goddamn did you just make me go on a monologue, hahaha, I really love talking don't I..... Well no hard feelings kid, but let's just say I have a greater purpose and you are a sacrifice for the greater good"

"..."

"how are you resisting my blades of control?" asks the red eyes, caught off guard by Dre's resistance

"thought break"

"thought break"

Having full composure, I now figured a way to resist him, I just need to break my chain of thoughts, and luckily that's something I've been doing since a long time ago.

It was kind of stupid of me to forget that I was inside my own mind

"ahh, it's getting annoying" the red eyes now had a eye socket and had it's eyeballs turning up, though I thought it was some kind of wicked controlling spell, It didn't happen to be the case, and he was just rolling his eyes.

"...."

"quick get him aboard the cargo with the stretcher....Cammile, you join me!" hurringly says Mr Choube as he instructs Karan and Sai to get Dre onto the cargo of the military passenger helicopter

Dre fighting in the realm of mind, didn't realize his physical self was also acting weird. He was handcuffed to a stretcher and held down by Cammile.

"quick, treat him with that cloroform, Choube what happened to this Kid!?" A fully armoured Ebony knight urges a nurse in full medical gear and then questions the now fully armoured Mr Choube who stood beside Cammile, who, is also in full armour.

The cargo room was dark with only a few leds and just on door that connected to a narrow passageway, despite it's appearance, the passanger copter was not all that spacious despite being 16 meters in length.

"It's a long story , I'll write a report on events later, for now, where the hell is your medical room that it is taking so long for Sai -"

"I am here! Nurse, after you" Sai and Karan, along with 2 nurses, in full ebony suits, come into the room from a narrow passage.

"have you done the chloroform yet? we need to get to the home island fast, I tried analysing his blood in the island, but my on hand tech wasn't enough, I studied a lot about parasytic diseases and if it's something I can't analyse and has such drastic effects then it won't stay down for long" Declares Sai, sharing looks with everyone, breaking a cold sweat

"Cloroform seems to be taking it's effect on him" says the first nurse as Dre starts calming down.

A sigh of relief fills the room, Mr Choube was about to ask Karan to leave the room, but one look at him made him think otherwise, he was really concerned about Dre and he wasn't causing any problems, so he holds back on his thoughts. The silence is then broken by the ebony knight.

"Alright, now that we have calmed down a bit... Fuck the report Choube, tell me what happ-"

"Alright Bertha,but calm down, and while i am at it lemme brief everyone, make sure the microphone is on so the students on the passanger room also hear what I got to say"

"okay... It's on....now speak" says the knight and stares dead into Choube's eyes.

"kids, I am choube, we will get to island of sights soon, use this time to clear your thoughts and get back your composure. Dre for now, is safe.... I'll brief you guys on the objectives and things we are not certain of yet, I know all this is hard on you guys, but this is what you were being prepared for, without wasting anymore time,I'll get into it.

Firstly, and Bretha you listen well too, this is probably the most important,We don't know what is happening on mainland, but like we saw, a officer ate through another's neck like a savage beast, we don't know anything about that situation yet-"

"What!?- "Bretha breaks Choube who breaks her at the ssme time

" lemme finish, 2ndly, an entire batch of grade 10 graduates were slaughtered in the ocean by a level C threat, Leviathan, which later seemed to have been controlled by a level B threat, which still doesn't explain how it took down that genius batch,but it seems there was a greater power at hand. thirdly-

Well never mind but these are the things we know so far. This seems bad, but nothing the top knights that fight Dragons and vampire empire's can't handle, and hence I need you kids to stay on the island and be safe- "

" sorry to interupt, but we are approaching coast" telephones the copter's captain to the rest of the crew

"ahhh, where am I?" yawning, I wake up, my body felt extremely light, looking side, I had broken handcuffs on me, startled I move in a quick response

"...."

I broke a hole right through the chopper's roof, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPEND, My body feels a bit less lighter now, but streaming myself towards the failing chopper, I try to get it to balance, only to realize, I didn't have my ebony gear.

*punch *

" I'll land us safely you handle him" Screams a lady's voice, and I could see Mr Choube approaching me

He catches me and we both land and then, Karan, Cammile and Sai also follow us down

"Hey, Dre, Submit to the floor if you are still yourself" Mr Choube says, transforming his gears to drills, the rest take up defensive positions.

I am kind of scared, I didn't understand what was going on and I am feeling extremely heavy, a sudden shiver hit me and I moved my leg back with some force.

The sand around me was all thrown up, something of a mini earthquake occured around me

"ARRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!"
