Chapter 7
"Where should I start?" he inquired.
"Please start from the beginning."
"Well…it was a Saturday night."
- Flashback -
(JASON POV)
I sat there in my dad's lazy boy chair. Yuna was asleep on the couch. Our parents had gone out on a double date to a fancy restaurant and left the two of us alone. Our dads knew that I could take care of her even though we were both only ten years old. Soon I heard a knocking at the door. I looked out and saw men with guns and various weapons aimed at the house. Acting quickly, I grabbed her and put her on my back. Running was the one of the thoughts that surged through my brain. We were able to get out of the room when the bullets destroyed the living room. I took Yuna's sleeping body into the 'shelter room' and laid her gently down. As I turned to leave she grabbed my arm.
"Where are you going?"
"I am going to do something my dad told me to do if this happened." I said with a smile on my face.
(NORMAL POV)
Jason snuck pass the men with ease. He had done this thousand's of time in his special training sessions with his father. He turned on the gas stove and then placing a fork in the microwave, set the time for twenty minutes. Quickly he left and met up with Yuna who, was by this time, completely awake.
"Jason, what is going on?"
"Men are here to get you. I won't let that happen."
Jason led her to the back of the large room, through a trap door, down some stairs, and down a hall with a telephone. Jason dialed a number and handed the phone to Yuna.
"Tell your father that we need him here." Jason instructed.
"Okay…"
A loud noise shook the room. When this happened the door to the first safe room blew clear off. 5 men entered.
"That brat took out three fourths of our forces!" screamed one man.
"Don't worry we'll get him!" commented another.
Jason cautiously entered the room also. He ducked as bullets flew and the lights shattered.
'Those idiots made it easier for me to get rid of them.' Jason thought.
- Intermission -
"Why is that?" Yuna voice interrupted.
"I may have been small…but my father had gotten me trained in the arts of stealth. Even at a young age I was quite 'deadly' in a way."
"Oh! Please continue."
- End of Intermission -
(JASON POV)
Each one fanned out, and were knocked unconscious, until one remained. The last one was a kid about my height. As I examined him he seemed to be a duplicate of himself. Suddenly a voice echoed throughout the room.
"Cloud, have you found them yet."
"No I haven't." sounded the voice of the boy.
I stood there in the dark shocked. 'Why was this mere boy doing with these men?' As if Cloud had heard his thoughts, he pointed his weapon at me.
"Come out of the shadows! I know you are there."
The look on his face when he saw me stand if front of him told me he wasn't expecting this.
"Why are you with these men?"
"You aren't who we are looking for." he said lower his, what appeared to be a sword, and walked away.
"Answer ME!" I demanded.
"I have no choice."
Soon I felt a dark presence behind me. When I turned I was kneed in the gut and therefore losing my sense of the world and blacked out. Then I woke up in a room with pads hugging the wall. As I surveyed my eyes came upon Yuna lying on the floor motionless. I ran over to her and felt for a pulse. Luckily I felt it.
"Don't worry she will be up soon." a man's gruff voice rumbled.
"What have you done to her!" my voice rang.
"Nothing that harmed her. Now come with me."
"Why should I trust you? I must stay here with her until she wakes."
"Ah, I see you are smarter than you let on."
"You have no idea."
"Believe me she will be completely safe." He said as he motioned to the same boy that he had met entered the room. "You remember Cloud. Cloud, take this girl and put her in with the other."
He hesitated, because I was in his way. After looking into his eyes, I nodded. I knew I could trust him, just not that man. He carefully picked Yuna up, and carried her out. As Cloud left, the man motioned me to follow, so I did. He led Cloud and I down a long hallway. It felt that we had been walking forever. We passed a couple of men who smirked at Cloud. One of them tripped him and he fell with Yuna stile in his arms. Luckily he twisted his body so she wouldn't get hurt. Quickly I ripped off the sunglasses I had been wearing and glared at them.
"You will regret doing that!" I yelled.
They laughed until they looked into my hatred filled eyes. Suddenly they froze in their laughter and just stood there motionless.
(NORMAL POV)
Jason ran towards them slamming them both into the wall. Then he backed up and charged again this time launching them down the long hallway. The man was a little frightened at what had just happened. As he helped his 'clone' up, they continued walking for a while. Finally they stopped in front of a large metal door. The man placed his hand on a pad. As it was scanned there was a sound of huge bolts sliding out of place. Then the door opened revealing a monstrous room. In one corner there was a weapon training facility, and in another corner there was a big metal box.
"Follow me." Cloud's voice came breaking the silence. He looked at Jason.
"Okay."
Cloud led Jason to the metal box in the corner. It was bigger close up. They entered it. Jason stood in there staring at what it contained. It had a small living room across from a small kitchen. On the other side of the 'house' there were four doors. Cloud quietly walked towards the last door of the left and opened it. Jason followed curiously. As he entered he saw a bed, a wardrobe, and the usually things you would find in a room. It also had its own bathroom.
"What's your name?" asked Cloud after setting Yuna on the bed.
"Jason."
"You already know what my name is."
"I guess I do." He replied with a small smile.
"I'll show you your room."
He led Jason across the hallway, and opened the door. It too had almost the exact things as Yuna's room except that his was more boyish.
"Hurry up, Mr. Sataro is waiting."
"Who's he?"
"He's the man who brought all four of us here."
"All four of us, but there is only three of us."
He quietly moved to the first door on the left side of the hallway. He knocked and then opened it. He motioned to Jason to be quiet. As he walked into the room he noticed a girl lying on a bed while machinery clicked and beeped around her.
"Who is she?"
"Her name is Aerith. Right now she is in a coma."
Cloud walked over to her bedside and sat down, who followed by Jason.
"This is why I have no choice."
"I understand. Is she your sister?"
"No. She is as close as a sister though. It's just that…she's my whole world. I can't let anything bad happen to her."
"I know how you feel."
Jason felt his hand reach out on its own.
"Jason stop!" Cloud commanded.
"I can't control my arm."
His hand touched her hand. It felt cold almost as ice. Suddenly a surge of pain shot through him. Then in that split second he heard a weak but sweet voice echo throughout his mind.
'Help me!'
After that split second Jason was launched into the wall.
"Jason, are you alright?"
"I should be."
Quickly the boys exited the 'house' only to meet Mr. Sataro.
"I see you have seen where you will be living from now on." the man commented.
"Yes I have. Why have you kidnapped us?"
"Well we needed a couple of test subjects. I figured with a boy born of your father and mother must be strong."
"I too have no choice in the matter then?"
"Correct. Well we already have a test to do on you, but that won't happen until tomorrow."
All of a sudden a loud ring came from Jason's watch. Quickly he ran off and reentered his 'house'. He rushed into Yuna's room, only to be embraced by a sobbing girl. He quickly embraced her trying to comfort her. They stood there, not moving at all. Thankfully Jason heard the light breathing she gave off. Carefully he picked her up and placed her back in the bed. Silently he pulled a chair over to her bedside and fell asleep. Morning came faster than he had anticipated. He awoke, got up, and went to the kitchen. After eating breakfast he sat on the couch and waited for either Cloud or Yuna to awake, but instead he heard a knock on the door. When he opened it there stood the same two men that he had hurt. They cringed as he spoke.
"What do you want?"
"We are here t- t-o...inform you that it's time."
He walked out of the room quietly, not making any noise that would wake the others.
"Where is the test going to be conducted?"
"Um…follow us."
After being lead to a machinery-filled room, he laid on the table while the doctors got ready.
"Let's just get this over with."
"This test shouldn't hurt at all."
They worked on him for what seemed like days, but finally they were finished. He got off the bed as he was instructed.
"What did you do to me? I fell like I'm weighed down more than I was before."
"We gave your skin the ability to secrete a metal so strong, it is virtually indestructible." Answered one of the surgeons.
"Now all we have to do it test it."
Next he was lead to the weapon training facility. Several men stood there, one with a gun and one with a sword. The first one charged. Jason's skin felt as if is was alive. It secreted the metal in a split second. It spread like wildfire across his body. His head was the only part that he felt was not covered by the metal. The sword shattered into millions of pieces. Then the gun was fired. Again his skin came alive, causing the bullets to fall to the ground. Then one elderly doctor came to him.
"Young man, please be careful when using this ability. Your body will react because it is not use to it yet. Please take heed."
"I'll do that. Thanks."
He then trained for awhile with man who he learned to be named Sephiroth. Once they got to know each other, they became friends. When they were done Jason's watch beeped again.
"Excuse me Sephiroth; I have someone that needs me." He said with a bow.
"Hurry up then." He responded with a slight smile.
(JASON POV)
I ran to my so called house, and quietly entered. I quietly sneaked by Cloud's room.
"How did it go?" came a voice from behind me.
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't plan dumb I know what they did to you."
"Well in that case…it went well, but my body is still trying to adjust" I answered a little labored then before.
"Oh I see."
After that we talked for a couple of minutes; I walked to Yuna's room, knocked and waited for an answer. Hearing a small voice answer, I walked in. Being greeted by her seemed to brighten my day. She was suffering from bed-head so I brushed her hair while she asked me questions about what happened. I answered as best I could. She was a little weak from the night before, so I helped her out of to the small kitchen and made a late breakfast for her. Next I introduced her to Cloud and she seemed to be a lot happier, which made me happy. Days past I recovered better than expected. Luckily it was summer so I would miss any school. When a month had past they did another experiment on me. The pain was too much to bear. I tried not move during so they would just finish. After they were done I could not move, because whenever I did searing pain shot through my entire body. Mr. Sataro was extremely impressed that I could survive such torture. I saw the greed in his eyes. When I recovered, I went to him and made an agreement or a contract with him. It stated
(NORMAL POV)
Jason's Contract
Jason will work for the company to pay for school, for Yuna and himself, except that Jason will take school at the company while Yuna takes it in public. Mr. Sataro can only experiment on Jason and not on Yuna under any circumstances. While Yuna is at school she will be watched the entire time. If anyone tries to hurt Yuna, the people watching her, must call Jason so he can deal with that person. When school ends, Mr. Sataro will provide a ride for Yuna to come home.
Signed:
Mr. Sataro
