Chapter 1 - Tragic beginnings

Here I am facing a blood lusting monster "Dinorex" all alone a 12 year old boy adapting to the new reality. Five years ago everything was just normal [flashbacks] my dad was a research and development scientist working day and night, I never got anytime to spend time with him." Max I don't have time to play toys with ! , can't you see I'm busy?, Sarah get him out of my lab!!" that's what he would say everytime I approached. I didn't hate him or resent in anyway , infact I loved him even more and I knew he loved me ,I was able to tell by just seeing the look on his face. My mother Sarah Cowell was my dad's assistant,she was also a scientist , she'd follow him on every business trip and my older sister and I would live up to three days on our own .

My sister and I considered our parents as heroes because ever since I was 3 years old our parents worked in different hospitals developing cures for so called incurable diseases such as cancer ,HIV and so on.It all started when I was five years old ,my parents were approached by the government and military pupils that's when they started neglecting us , it was hard however they were determined to finish developing the Dinorex serum and retire afterwards. Two years after my father had solved the equation and created the first Bio-modification serum modelled after a Dinosaur ,with it's strength , speed and all of it's senses . It was his big break ,a lifetime achievement but suddenly things changed ,he refused to give the formula to the leading scientists Dr Melveric . He had overheard the few members of higher ups discussion about selling the serum to a group known as the Alnzis , an organisation based in New Russia ,they were terrorist led by a mad man called Dirius Albert aka Gold fang. He deluded himself that humanity was weak and as such they should become mutants just like he was. [Flashback pause] . "Grr groo!!? " groaned a giant gruesome pale green monster with saliva dripping from it's mouth with long sharp fangs , this monster is known as a Dinorex , here I was little young Max running away from a gruesome beast,I ran and jumped through buildings trying to shake off the Dinorex from my tail but it's speed and senses were undeniable impressive hence it ran after me with incredible speed crushing through walls and everything in it's path just to get to me and devour me whole. This Dinorex jumped me ,had it's sharp claws pinned me on the ground .Fear ,pain and shock all those words could explain the face expression I had at that time. The Dinorex roared disgustingly as I screamed in agony while it's claws sank into my flesh, the memories of what had happened five years ago came rushing in my brain.

Flashbacks resumed] My father worked in an underground laboratory sponsored by the government and the military 's high ups it was called the Bionary Industries .Their objectives was to create and develop bio enhancement drugs in simple words it was human mutation drugs . A mutant human would gain super strength ,speed and great eyesight . After my father had overheard a conversation between his superiors he took the complete and incomplete serum , destroyed all the information in his computer server and hard copies of his research so nobody will be able to replicate his work. Dr Melveric noticed that all the information was erased ,he had his men follow my father and secretly monitored his every movements but eventually my father noticed them . He somehow managed to shake these strange people that had been following him,he got home ,took all of his important items along with me ,my sister and mother. We flew to the nearby city,my father thought that we had managed to outrun Dr Melveric and his men however he was gravely mistaken for Dr Melveric and his troops had been waiting in the other city . Earlier that day my father had hidden the Complete Dinorex serum where no being would ever find and took the incomplete serum with him hence it was too dangerous to be left recklessly ,who knows what could it unleash upon the human race, He thought. The plane landed safely ,at the airport just after we'd gotten out of the plane ,in the waiting hall an event that changed the

fate of humanity occurred. My father had a suitcase on his left hand, a small cooler box on his right hand in it was a capsule containing the incomplete serum ,he thought we had escaped the crazy Dr Melveric little did he know that 10 yard away on top of a skyscraper was a sniperman pointing his gun direct at my father's forehead. A shot was fired ,the bullet broke through the glasses and headed straight for my father's head ,it hit him and the force pushed him backwards resulting in him letting go of the cooler box . The capsule flew out ,fell to the ground and cracked open releasing a drop of green liquid which suddenly started evaporating leading to a green gas like poison circulating in the airport . My mother jumped and reached for my older sister , covering her nose with a plastic musk ,pushed her to the nearby door but behind her was my father ,her husband Brian Cowell and he was pale green grey ,green eyes and a bullet hole on his head as well as pointy canine teeth .He rushed my mother ,took a a bit on her shoulder and just when my dead father tried to take another bit on my mother,she retaliated with brute force while undergoing a Dino transformation . As shocked and terrified as I was I screamed my sister's name because that was all I could think of ,is she safe?,she hasn't turned to a monster just like mom and dad has she?,why is this happening ? I thought as I ran around the airport while trying to hold tears to fall but everything was starting to seem blur with tears stored in my eyes . Gazing around I took a moment to process everything that was happening ,I was too busy looking for my dear sis whom I couldn't find anyway and had not paid attention to what was happening around.

People kept pushing me from every side as they were running , screaming and yelling for help while others were undergoing a Dino transformation , turning into blood thirsty beasts. I couldn't see my mother , father, my older sister or anyone I knew for that matter,as I stood there in a state of shock ,fear rendered me in paralysis condition hence I stood there with an inability to move , shocked, scared and alone gazing at the chaos . The blood thirsty humans kept biting me bit by bit yet I felt nothing and before I knew it I passed out ,I later woke up at that exact same spot but things had quiet down in such a way that I was the only one left at the whole airport.A year passed by ,I lived alone in the airport training myself to be fast ,smarter and stronger in order to cope with the post apocalyptic world it had became. I had accepted that the world will no longer be the same and that no one was going to come and save me from the grief I was suffering even though I later on met with a group of mostly young kids around my age who had not yet been affected by the Dinorex virus,we became a tribe . The group nominated big brother Mowak who was slightly older than all of us to be the tribe's leader,the tribe consisted of other three members except Mowak the leader and me the coolest and hot-headed Max , we had the Brainiac cool friend Vans ,a trustworthy female friend Maria and the annoying but loyal friend Lee.
