Chapter 5 - The Misfits

"Captain Fedrick, I have a task for you". The General continued his words

Captain Fedrick switched his gaze at the Lieutenants and other low-ranking officers present and made a hand signal. Immediately all the officers began to leave the hall.

" What's the Task General". Captain Fedrick mumbled in a low voice.

They both journeyed along the hall which seemed endless.

" The ADAM Fleet is low on fighters, ADAM High can no longer supply the maximum number of fighters needed". The General asserted.

"What do you want me to do General?".

" The council concluded, there are lots of humans with future potential talents on earth, we need to recruit them into the Adam fleet and….".

"Sorry to cut in General. But we can't recruit non-ADAM citizens into the Fleet, these people are not genetically modified, we can't recruit them into the fleet. They may cause us multiple losses". Captain Fedrick asserted.

" You should have allowed me to finish my word. We won't recruit them directly, we will send them to Adam High, so they could cultivate their Genetic Mutation".

"We don't have enough time General, the OMUA can attack at a full-scale force soon".

" That's why we have to prepare by recruiting more fighters, I want you to send your best soldier to Earth. We need more talented fighters''. The general said this in a commanding voice, he knew Captain Fedrick was not happy about the decision. The general made Captain Fedrick the supervisor of the recruitment because he knew Captain Fedrick had never failed any task.

"It will be done General".

They both walked into an Elevator at the end of the hallway.

***********

It's the early hours of the morning. Tyler and Sebastian journeyed home with the Beast king behind them. They decide to pass through the Himalayas mountains, as they think it will be safe that no one will detect a beast king walking behind them.

"What are we going to tell Emily?". Sebastian sounded nervous

"Ahe will probably get mad at us, and ask us to return it to wherever we found it".

They both journeyed home with a beast king walking behind them. They knew Emily wouldn't be so pleased by bringing a bloodthirsty thirsty beast with them.

"Should we just leave it somewhere". Sebastian asks Tyler.

" We can't, even if we want to abandon the beast, it will still follow us. Don't you see what happened back there?".

The beast King growled as if he heard Tyler and Sebastian talking about leaving it behind.

"Do you see that, it's probably going to eat us someday".

" No it won't, what happened back there is not just a coincidence, it's a kind of a strong connection. I feel a strange aura". Tyler replied,

They both journeyed through the hills with the beast king. They pass through the Mountain of the Himalayas, now it looks like a battleground with big holes extending to two miles which were caused by the bombing and nuclear weapons used during the war. They almost reached the safe zone when they saw five figures approaching them through the mountain horizon.

"It's the Misfits". Sebastian cried out

Tyler and Sebastian quickly drew out their firearms. They knew the Misfits would stop at nothing to kill the beast king.

" We must not let them have the beast king". Tyler said, holding an M4 Class firearm.

They both knew they had to protect the beast king as the Misfits are known for their aggressive nature of killing every mutant they came across.

As the Misfits drew nearer, they also saw the beast king from afar. Tyler and Sebastian saw The Misfits arming their bow with arrows.

"They are arming their bows, we need to act fast". Sebastian said in a shaky voice.

He knew he and Tyler are not a perfect match for the misfits. They are heavily armed with firearms and non-firearms.

" Run!". Tyler shouted.

Both Tyler and Sebastian took to their heels and headed for the deeper parts of the mountain. Tyler looked back trying to know maybe the beast king followed them.

He saw the Beast king pacing towards the Misfits, the beast kings were not animals that backed down from a threat.

The Misfits quickly held an attacking stance when they saw a beast king advancing towards them. The beast growls summoning its inner power to maximum, at this stage, not even a nuclear weapon could stop it.

The misfit shot lethal guns at the beast, which was supposed to cause high damage on the beast, the weapons only threw the beast king back to some kilometers. Some of The Misfits lost their fighting spirit as a beast king was advancing towards them at maximum speed.

The beast king reached them and sent the misfits flying in the air with just a single swing of its arm. They landed on the ground some kilometers away. Most of them sustained fatal injuries. The leader of The Misfit whose name was Kan Chao summoned his courage and drew out an EMP gun.

Electro-Magnetic Pulse guns were known for their mass damages, the EMP gun specialty was known for weakening mutated cells of the victim whom it was shot at.

"Take the shot" another member of The Misfits who was lying on the ground and badly wounded shouted at Kan Chao.

Kan Chao aimed at the beast's head and almost pulled the trigger when the unpredictable happened.

The beast king kept advancing towards the Misfits at a high speed, and Kan Chao also drew his EMP gun and aimed for the beast's head, suddenly Tyler stood in front of the beast king at a safe distance. The beast saw Tyler, immediately it stopped running and walked slowly to where Tyler stood, lied down, and started rubbing its nose on Tyler.

The misfits and Kan Chao saw what happened and were shocked.

"How did he do that?". Kan Chao asked himself

The misfit stood up, three of them were badly wounded from the attack of the beast king, while Kan Chao and Fei Hong were not as badly Injured as the others.

Kan Chao and Fei Hong were Twins, they both trained at Adam High *( institution for training ADAM's warriors in Mars orbit)*. They were both born in Mars orbit as a Legal Citizen of ADAM. A war broke out in Mars orbit, which destroyed the Space Protection walls. These walls were used to protect ADAM space colonies from space rifts that were opened by the OMUA. The walls were destroyed by a Uranium missile that was launched by the OMUA. The Space Protection Walls were destroyed to bits, and space rifts began to appear all over the colonies. The army couldn't stop the OMUA, as they were outnumbered. Rescue ships were made available which transported the survivors to a safer colony. The Colony was blown to bits by the OMUA. Kan Chao and Fei Hong were both on the rescue ship. Their father had died in a surgical strike two years ago, their mother made sure they were safe by locking them up when the OMUA attacked the colony.

They were both sent to an orphanage since they are both legal citizens of ADAM by birth and sent to ADAM High for proper training. Both of them were able to advance to the first stage of human genetic mutation before they turned fifteen years old.

They were both left behind with their team which comprises other three kids during the *ADAM High hunting games* on Earth. They were assumed to be dead and killed by wild animals because of their late appearance at the end of the game. They were hunted by a Snake beast king and had to hide In a hole crater for almost two days, which made them later for the submission of their kills and were assumed to be dead.

They knew that they had been left behind, they knew that they had to survive on earth. They formed a group and named themselves " The Misfits". They already gained the first stage of human genetic mutation, which made them able to outrun all other groups of hunters. They were both 17years old when they were left behind on Earth and became mutant hunters. Fei Hong is light in complexion with white long hair, which made her look like an extraordinary human, but with her childlike behavior, her brother Kan Chao has always been like a father to her. Kan Chao used to say to her " I cherish you more than my own life".

The Misfits took a few steps towards where Tyler, Sebastian, and the beast king were. Kan Chao still holding his EMP gun.

"How possible is it, to tame a beast king Kan?". Fei Hong whispered to his brother as they advanced towards Tyler's position.

" I can sense two auras, there are two beast kings here".

"But where is the second beast king?" Fei Hong asks Kan has they approached the beast king who was lying beside Tyler. Tyler is also holding his bow which was armed with an arrow.

"Tyler is the second Beast King," Kan said, facing Fei Hong.
