After all of that hardships on their journeys they finally entered the capital of the Sanctuary and now they reached their main destination their main objective on this journey. the one that Marie and Scientist Jai are talking about and The place were they achieved their heights and the reason why they've became a well known researchers for hybrid humans and animals the Laboratory. It's not just a normal lab or some kind of research facility this is where they conduct their researches about the hybrids, how to make the suitable gear for them, and how to help them to control their powers.
Scientist Jai opened the door. "Hmmm... The smell's still the same as I remember." She said in an excited tone.
Marie hold her hands."This is where our rivalry begins." Marie looked at her in the eyes and smile.
Before they can even enter the door Peter suddenly froze in his place and...
Inside of an unknown place~
Peter suddenly wake up inside the place that somehow familiar. It's still giving him creeps everytime he entered on this place though it's still the second time he entered on this creepy place.
An unknown language he suddenly can hear from distance. "*#*#$#$!" It said.
Peter looked and find where the unknown voice is coming. "Who... Who's there?!" He shouted while looking left and right.
Hssss~~hssss~hsss~
He's suddenly become sweaty after hearing those hsss. This is very familiar to him and he can picture what would happen to him next.
He stopped looking around. "This looks familiar, I've been here before." He said and starts to calm down a little bit.
The presence of a familiar sinister mana that engulfing the surroundings. The disaster that once gave him a nightmare emerges once again. He felt the snake's gaze from behind but when he looked at it there's nothing in there. He starts looking around again and again but all he can see is a vast darkness. He can feel the chills down to his spine, just by the presence of its sinister mana a normal person would instantly faint from it.
Peter starts to walk around slowly.
Tap... Tappp... Tapp...
Hssss~Hssss~
The snake suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. The snake stared at him while he's froze on his place.
The snake starts to translate his own language just for him to understand. "It's been a while, bug." The snake looked down at him.
Peter looked up and clenched his fist. "Wh... what... do you w... want monster?!" He screamed while his voice is trembling.
The gigantic snake stops and stared at him while releasing more of its mana."Do you really want to know that?!" The snake asked in an intimidating tone.
Peter's legs couldn't hold the trembling and lay down on the floor. "Y... yes... tell me why are you here a... and what do you want from me!" He yelled at him but he can't do anything.
The aura that the snake's releasing starts to settle down and focus on its body as it became an armor like aura. Just feeling the presence of its aura you could feel your body's ripping apart. What kind of snake that he's been merged with. With this kind of power everything that will get in his way would be obliterated in an instant. But for some reason he can't feel any malicious intent from the snake towards him.
The snake's stop moving. "Don't worry I won't eat you." The snake then stand tall.
Peter was shocked to hear that. "If not, then why?!" He said while getting up.
Skrrrrrr~ The snake seems to planning something. "I just don't like you, kid." The snake said in a disgusted tone. "I need you to do something in order for you to obtain my power" The snake added and starts to release again its sinister aura.
"..." Peter was speechless.
Peter gasped when he realized what did the snake said. He hold his chin and think.
"I need to do something for him? No... no... no... wait me? Doing something for him?! But it might be a good idea to cooperate that being eaten by this monster alive. If i do what he says maybe I could obtain the power to protect the precious persons in my life.
Peter was determined. "T... tell me what do I need to do!" He starts to listen to the snake.
Hssss~ Hsss~ The snakes making a noise of it and it seems like it's laughing. " Very well, all you need to do is-"
The conversation was interrupted by something. When the conversation was interrupted Peter suddenly woke up. He starts to wonder where he is but there's no one around. He sat on the bed he is sweating cold while he is catching his breath. All of the events happened to him a moment ago vanished without a trace especially that monster snake.
He starts to look around and the set up of the room is kinda familar then he realized that he's in some kind of medical room. He lay down on his bed again and rest for a while.
After a while-
Everyone entered the room Scientist Jai, Eduard, Sam, Marie, and an unknown faces. They saw that Peter is awake.
Scientist Jai saw it and starts to check him. "Oh! You're awake. Let me check your vitals." She starts to test his heartbeat, pulse, his temperature, his eyes, mouth, and body. "Your overall test are all fine, but why did you suddenly collapsed?" Scientist Jai asked him in a curious tone.
Peter looked at her. "I... I don't know. All I can remember was that the surroundings turned into nothingness." He said while holding his head and it looks like it's hurting.
Eduard interfere and asked some questions. "Is that all you can remember?" He said while looking at him.
Peter stared at him and looked down."If I will tell you, you won't believe me though." He's afraid but he still replied to Eduard.
Marie hold his hand. This time, you won't see any signs of teasing on her. "Just tell us, Peter. We will help you." She said and looked at him in the eyes.
Peter is still hesitating but starts to talk anyway. "It was a dark place then a gigantic snake appeared. It's not the first time I've ever experienced this. He wants me to do something about on how to obtain some kind of power. His aura is sinister, any normal person would be crushed in an instant with its immensed pressure." He told them the whole story. Everyone was shocked on what they heard about from him.
Scientist Jai stared at him and it seems she is thinking about something or she might have an idea on what's going on with him. She's just observing him and figuring out the possibilities and the causes of his suddenly fainting.
