The hybrid howled in pain as a jab of electricity ran through his entire nervous system. His fingertips shot lightning as his internal organs were fried. However, the very moment the electricity left his body, it instantaneously healed back.
On a molecular level, the electricity had been destroyed by the cells but the cells were in a perpetual state of self-recycling. For the hybrid wasn't regenerating, his cells were controllingly dying and reviving every nano-second!
His entire body was a flash of cells constantly dying and being brought back to life to its maximum capacity. He was the ultimate lifeform, a being of 100% efficiency!
"Call for backup, now!" Sasorie jumped backward off of the hybrid and shouted at Joorie.
Joorie closed her eyes and covered her ears, clicking her tongue against the top of her mouth. Installed within every Class A and above was a prosthetic molar that could transmit a signal over long distances, in this case, to send a call for emergency backup.
"In the meantime, run!" Sasorie looks over at the Hybrid and he's marvelling in his own body. However, at the very next moment, he shoves his hand into his head and rips through his brain. However, he quickly retracts his arm and his head recovers the very next moment. "Is it, fighting itself?" Sasorie looks at the hybrid with intrigue.
"What the hell are you doing?" Arima kicks the wounded Axolotl in the face, its foot imprinted on its slimy skin. "Get out of my body!" He kicks it in succession.
The Axolotl is relenting. His eyes remained closed as he took each kick with dignity. Even as he lay there, covered in scars from head to tail, he continued to live.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Arima delivers one final large kick to the creature but the Axolotl disappears, leaving him alone in this snowy circular field encased with trees and dense forests.
"Son." A deep booming voice spoke behind him. "Your purpose has been fulfilled." Arima feels a tingle run down the back of his spine. He turns around only to be faced with sheer nightmarish fuel.
A being of indescribable horror stood there, towering over Arima. Just like the hybrid, he had two palms covering his eyes, the fingers sprouting outwards like gills. His entire body was a quartz-white, nearly glistening in the glacial sun. On his body were tribal markings, black stripes running down the side of his body. On his back were hundreds, if not thousands of hands that sprawled out into many pairs of wings, slowly getting smaller and smaller the further down his back it went.
His upper half was that of a giant human, his carved muscles edged and toned. His lower half onwards was that of an Axolotl's, large webbed feet with slimy white skin. Each arm held him up, hundreds upon hundreds of them as they disappeared into the thick forest behind him. He held a giant Aztec totem, the head of a dog on the top.
"I am Xolotl. Your vessel has been deemed fit for my existence. Child, you have served your purpose as a disciple of mine, I will now be using your body." He slammed his totem downwards on the snow, causing the entire forest to shake with it.
Arima was far too stunned to speak to the creature. His voice tried to utter words but nothing came out.
"When faced with certain death, one is often stunned." The chimera empathized with Arima. "My absence in nature has created a gap, a vacuum in power. The world is no longer stable, I shall regain my status as the rightful ruler and bring forth balance."
Arima looks up to the creature and merely scoffs. "Ha!" He breaks out into laughter as he clutches his stomach, kicking his feet wildly in the air as he lies down on the snow. "Rightful Ruler! Bring forth balance!" He laughs as he continues erupting into tears. "Do you hear yourself?!" He wipes the tears of hilarity off and regains composure.
"Silence!" He slams the totem once again on the snowy floor as giant pink thunderbolt-shaped spears pierce through the sky and his skin.
Arima is pinned down to the ground with hundreds of spears, all ripping through his flesh. This time, it felt different. A kind of pain he'd never felt before. A kind of permanence.
"You've taken advantage of my abilities for far too long." The chimera looks at the smear of red blood that was once Arima's body. "It's about time I took what's rightfully mine."
The hybrid's body erupts from the chest, its ribcage piercing outwards as its beating heart reveals itself to the sun. The sun's great light casts a beam straight into his chest.
"Joorie! Run!" Sasorie grabbed Joorie by the legs and carried her, running out of the stationary train and into the nearby grasslands, a wild sprawl of grass with no fauna in sight. Both of them felt a tingle down the back of their spines, a fear never once felt before.
Fire erupts from the hybrid's mouth as a hand reaches outwards of his chest, a pale white hand belonging to that of the Axolotl Chimera.
The hybrid howls in pain as the entire Axolotl Chimera emerges from his body, its premature body crushing the train with its entire weight. The entire width of the train had been crushed flat, and Arima's lifeless body lay on the train floor, the Axolotl Chimera coming out of his carcass.
Joorie and Sasorie had both successfully ran away from the scene, Sasorie turning around to look at the giant beast.
It truly was something out of a Lovecraftian novel. A beast of horrifying proportions brought to life through the body of someone he knew. His giant wings of hands sprouted like a sapling in the summer, its giant eye-covering hands sprouting outwards. His black tribal tattoos looked as if they were animated and moving, the depictions of ancient deities and lightning bolts with fire erupting moving around his slithering body.
As Sasorie held Joorie in his arms, they merely disappeared within an instant, phasing into thin air.
"Well, w-well, well." A familiar stutter spoke. "What is t-this about?" Maximillia looks up, holding a cat in her hand as she fixed her glasses with her pointer finger. Her luscious orange hair flowing in the wind, her bun nearly coming undone. Her business suit flailed in the wind as she smirks, looking up at the giant creature wreaking havoc in the sky.
The creature had begun to mutate even more, giant pools of blood erupting from its mouth that solidified and became part of how skin, streaming downwards towards its chest that formed into ancient incantations. He stood at a towering 20 meters tall, dwarfing all that came near him. His tail was still attached to Arima but he had grown legs and could fully move around without any limitations.
His nose was two mere slits that served as nothing more than cosmetic, he breathed exclusively from his mouth. Gas in the form of a white smoke emitted from the side of his mouth as it created a low register sound that crept up your back.
Maximillia looks back down at the cat in her arms as she ran her hand down the back of her. "Go home b-baby." She snapped her fingers and the cat disappeared into thin air.
"Tsk!" The giant hybrid crossed its arm as it looked down onto Maximillia on the ground. "That's all they could send?" The creature scoffed.
"Don't get too cocky Xolotl." Maximillia said, completely overcoming her stutter as she emphasised the X in his name.
"Hmph." Smoke blew out of Xolotl's nose as he laughed in approval. "You know of me." He stretched out a finger of his and pointed towards the tiny human below him.
"Know of you?" She said, putting her intonation on of. "I know you more than you know yourself." She placed her hand behind her back, over her head, as if to reach for something.
The wind went still as the birds flying the air literally stopped. Their bodies glided through the air but their wings remained stationary. The bees and bugs on the ground came to a screeching halt, all life in a fifty kilometer radius immediately stopping in its tracks.
Why?
To avoid Judgement.
