[A/N] Second chapter! Thank you tripod762 for correcting my errors. Really appreciate it. Well of course if you'd like to know why the rage against Hokuto, read to find out! And as always, review! As I said, if the feedbacks are good enough, I'll continue the update. If you don't like it, don't read it. Some people can be so idiotic at times.
Our mouth hung wide open as we took in what was in front of us. Two giant tanks that was filled up with blue colored water. I had no idea what the hell is that water for. And I don't understand why do they need the tank.
"What's up with the tank?" Eisuke asked, not taking his eyes off the tank the whole time.
"Gentlemen, for the next few days, this is where you're gonna be sleeping. You both are the first two test subject to go through this. If you make it through, it will be considered one of our greatest achievement yet" the scientist said.
What? We'll sleeping inside a tank? No way.
"So why the tanks?" Eisuke repeated, clearly annoyed that his question hasn't been answered completely.
"A few days ago, our patrol team found a wounded dragon, by the canyons. It was severely injured and couldn't defend itself when we captured it" he said happily. He licked his lips and continued.
"After bringing it here, we nursed it, but we made sure that it won't regain its strength completely. We ran a few tests on it, and we found that the blood of the dragon is somewhat….useful" he said. He smiled.
"Useful as in?" I asked. I was getting curious. And I'm getting a really bad feeling about this.
"Well we found that if we were to inject its blood into a another creature, the creature will gain new abilities, at the same time enhancing its current abilities" he said proudly. I didn't bother to hide my look of disgust.
"What creature, did you experimented on?" I asked. I felt disgusted.
"Goblins. But unfortunately, they didn't survive that long. For some reason, their lifespan shortened. The longest one to survive lasted about a week. After that it died. We believe its because a goblin's body and system can't handle the pressure as the dragon's blood transforms it and at the same time, enhancing it. But, so far, you both are probably the only two subjects that survived every experiments and tests that we conducted. That's why, we're very sure that you would both would be fine at the end of this, and be stronger" he said happily.
"That's comforting to know. How long does this experiment last?" Eisuke asked.
"Well that depends on how long it takes for your body and your system to be transformed and enhanced. It could take, most probably about 5 days?" he said estimating.
5 days? I frowned. We were planning to leave within this week. And we have to make sure that our plan go smoothly.
"So how's the tube gonna benefit us?" I asked.
"You'll be placed in these tubes while your transformation takes place. This way, it will be easier for us to monitor you and ensure that nothing happens to you" he replied.
He better. Both Eisuke and I need to survive no matter what. And we'll do it even if we have to blow this place up.
"So when are we gonna start?" Eisuke asked. I could tell that even he is getting impatient.
"We're starting now. Now that we've explained everything, I would require you two to take off your boots, socks and shirt" he said. I raised my eyebrow.
"Scared to get a little wet, Tsuki?" Eisuke taunted. I glared at him. We both took off our boots and socks first. When we took our shirts off, we heard gasps and giggles from behind. I turned to look and saw that the female colony, doctors and nurses were watching us. I frowned. I didn't know they were here.
"Whoa, you sure have some fan club Tsuki" Eisuke said laughing. I scowled at him.
We both climbed the ladder that was located beside the tank. We stood at the edge and took a deep breath before climbing into our respective tanks. Once we were in, the tank sealed shut and I could feel something poking me from behind. In mere seconds, I felt the worst pain ever. I started screaming in the water, knocking on the glass, begging them to take me out. But they didn't make any move. I was about to smash the glass open when I suddenly felt very tired. I couldn't resist the temptation to close my eyes. I stopped struggling and soon, I drifted into sleep…
I was dreaming that I was in Youkai Academy again. I dreamt that I was having a normal day with the girls. Everything was fine, until the sky became dark. I turned and saw Hokuto there.
"Hokuto-san…?" Moka said in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Maybe he came to pay me a visit?
"Me? Oh nothing much….I'm just here to take something" he said. The way he said it made feel very uncomfortable.
"Something like what?" Kurumu asked. I could see her curious expression on her face. Hokuto just smiled and transformed his right arm into a blade. Before any of us could register what happened, he dashed forward and grabbed Moka and stabbed her. Her blood spurted in all directions, covering me in it as well. I watched in horror, as her lifeless body dropped in front of me.
"I came here, to take her life" he said with an evil grin.
"MOKA!" I screamed. I rushed to her side and held her. I checked her pulse. She was gone.
"HOKUTO YOU BASTARD!" I screamed.
"You think the show's over? Look to your left Tsuki" he said. I looked and I saw my parents and Kyouko.
"Mom? Dad? Kyou-chan? What are you guys doing here? This place is dangerous! Run!" I yelled desperately. It was all too late. Hokuto dashed at their direction and slaughtered them all.
"Remember this Aono, you are the reason why they died. You're so weak. And you'll stay that way" he said chuckling. And he vanished.
"COME BACK HERE YOU COWARD!" I screamed, looking around. Then everything around me vanished. Only his words echoed in my ears.
You're the reason why they died. You're so weak…And you'll stay that way.
I fell on my knees and started crying…
