Chapter-1--Awakening

Felius awoke with a splitting headache. He had been clubbed in the head by a random criminal they were trying to arrest. Felius had been lacking for some reason this week. Normally he would never have had that type of problem, but for some reason he did. Felius showered, as his partner walked through the door. She always came and picked him up. It was never the other way around. Felius figured it was a dominance thing, but she never really seemed like that type of person.

"Hurry up Felius we're going to be late!" shouted Felius' partner.

It was their daily ritual to tease and yell early in the morning. It relieved tension from the previous day and between them. They needed it in order to work with each other. The days were always long and if they didn't bug each other in the morning. Then they would start snapping at each other and that was never good.

"What eva shug. I'll be out in a sec," repiled Felius in a fake Cajun accent.

"Whatever just hurry up or ill make you have a cold shower."

"You wouldn't dare."

Felius' partner walked into the bathroom and turned on the sink while flushing the toilet. Within seconds the water became ice cold and Felius jumped out of the shower. He quickly grabbed a towel to cover himself.

"April what's your problem?"

"You would badger me next time now will you." stated April as she walked out of the bathroom.

He got dressed in his blue cop uniform with the usual barracks cover. He also sucked at tying a tie so he had April do it. She mumbled under her breath about how stupid he was for not knowing how to tie a tie, but he didn't mind because he was distracted by the smell of her perfume. He sighed as he looked out the window. The day was about to begin. Then the fun would cease. He really didn't have much of a choice it the matter. They had to be able to work as a cohesive team in order to bag criminals without getting each other hurt or worse. So in the end Felius accepted it. They walked out of the house and Felius locked his door. They got in the cruiser and started to the station. Felius pulled his pistol out of the glove box and put it on.

"So did you hear what chief announced today?" asked April

"No, what?"

"Were being move to Manhattan. They need more cops there so we start today."

"Really. Sweet another hour of sleep."



"Don't get your hopes up big boy look "stated April pointing.

A young girl was getting mugged by a large man that was obviously over weight. April flicked on the cruiser lights and head in the muggers direction. He turned around and dropped the bag. He took off down and alley and Felius jumped out of the cruiser against Aprils will and chanced the man. He had sprained his leg a month ago by doing stupid stuns like jumping out of a moving cruiser, but he never learned. Nor did he try to. Felius pulled out his pistol and looked back to see April talking to the young girl. Felius looked back to see the man take a right. Felius followed and started to aim his pistol.

"Freeze your under arrest!" shouted Felius.

As usual though they never listened. They always run. Felius chased after him until they reached a dead end. The man had a hand gun and it was pointed at Felius. Fear gripped the man. When a man had this much fear he tended to do stupid things. The man aimed at Felius and pulled the trigger. He missed and Felius dropped to one knee and shot the man in the knee.

"Aaaagh!" shouted the man.

"Yah? Good I hope it hurts like crazy. Maybe next time you won't run," stated Felius as he walked over and cuffed the guy," you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney..."

Felius stopped speaking and jumped back as the man started to scream in pain. Felius was shocked at the man's temperature. It was through the roof. Then suddenly the man burst into flames before Felius' eyes. Felius stood up and started to back away. He couldn't help but think that something was really messed up. Bodies didn't just burst into flames.

"Ah Felius. I see you're alive and well. How are you," said a man who was sitting on the stone wall.

"Who are you? What the hell do you mean by that?!" asked Felius.

"Must we use such foul language? We are alike you and I. Two men of the same genes. "Spoke the man as he jumped off the stone wall.

"You're crazy... and while you're at it why don't you stay away." stated Felius

"Ooh but don't you want my gift. I Drezner have come to awaken you. It is after all, time for you to awaken."

"What!? I said stay away!"

"It is time Brother." Drezner growled.

Drezner launched forward and grabbed Felius pistol before he could fire it. The two men hit the ground and started to role as Felius tried to escape. Drezner just keep a cynical smile on his face. Finally Drezner knocked the gun out of Felius' hand and placed his own hand on Felius' forehead.



"Awaken!" shouted Drezner.

Felius screamed as he felt every cell in his body scream with pain. Mitochondria attacked his nuclei but failed. Something was keeping Felius from completely changing into what Drezner was. Felius opened his eyes to see Drezner one last time before blacking out. Felius though knocked out could still feel the pain. His body was fighting whatever it was Drezner awoke.

Felius awoke in the metropolitan hospital no more than an hour from where they were. They had I.V.s hooked into him and a pain reliever he had never heard of before. Felius looked around the room. It was dark but he could make out the small yet powerful body of his partner sitting in a chair next to him with a blanket. He wondered if she had been there all night. Felius looked out the window as the first rays of light spilled into the room. April whined as the rays of sun splashed across her face. Felius smiled and sat up. He took out the I.V.s and got dressed into his uniform. He then quietly shook April to wake her. She opened her eyes and squinted because of the light. When she realized who she was looking at she jumped up and through her arms around him.

"I was so worried. Don't ever do anything like that again." demanded April

"No problem. Let's get out of here before people start getting to work." said Felius
