Chapter Nine: Transformation

     " Nice work Tyler", commented Lara as she immediately got up to her feet," Let's get out of here".
     Tyler stood up as well, and they both exit the office. But once outside, Tyler grabs Lara with his left hand and draws her close to him.
     " What the hell is going on?", Tyler demanded with a serious expression on his face.
     She looked into his eyes and he let go of her. He became puzzled and looked at his left hand with a confused face.
     " This isn't the place to discuss Tyler", replied Lara with an annoyed face," Let's get out of here first and then we'll have all the time to discuss".
     " What did you do to me?", questioned Tyler as he looked at her.
     " Ordered you to let go of me, which you just did", replied Lara," Now let's go!".
     Tyler then heard the sound of someone whistling and looked over Lara to see the janitor mopping the floor. His eyes were on Lara before they met that of Tyler. Lara turned back and saw the janitor as well.
     " Get behind me", ordered Tyler. Lara obeyed and stood behind him.
     " You scared of me kid?", asked Mr. Goldsberg with a smirk.
     " No sir. Just minding my business", replied Tyler.
     " What about her? Why she's scared?".
     " She's not sir".
     " Oh really. Why don't I have a few words with her while you head off to class".
     " I'm afraid that's not possible".
     He smiled and bowed his head a little while he held the mop upside down," Tyler, go to class while I talk with her. Don't let me repeat myself".
     " What are you going to do huh? Mop my face?", taunted Tyler.
     He laughed a bit and faced Tyler," Very well then".
     He pointed the mop at Tyler and it came to life. All the pieces of strings extended towards his face. Tyler didn't see it coming at all. It grabbed his face and smashed him against the ceiling and the floor. It persisted with the act against the right and finally on the left, smashing Tyler through some walls and crashing inside a fifth graders classroom.
     " Come here Lara!", ordered the janitor as he slowly transformed into a black man wearing strange clothings. The mop had also transformed into a staff flowing with blue energy. Lara, on seeing this, fled.
     Tyler stood and looked up. There was no crack on the wall as he had expected. Suddenly, a chair from one of the empty chairs dragged itself towards him from behind and made him sit. Other things like pencils and paper held him to the chair while the room itself was constantly changing into multiple shapes and sizes. The chair now started sinking as if the floor was now quicksand. Tyler struggled until he suddenly calmed himself down. Then his eyes glowed blue.

     Lara took a sharp corner to her left and stopped at a dead end. She turned back and saw the black man coming towards her with a smile on his face. Her hands glowed blue as she faced him.
     " I'm not afraid of you", said Lara.
     " If you weren't, you'd have the guts to face me back then", replied the man.
     " Whatever, I can still take you down".
     " I'm doubtful if you can defeat the both of us".
     " Both?", asked Lara. She then heard the stones behind her crumbling apart. She looked back and saw the principal, unhurt and unscratched, walking right through the opened wall. He too transformed into a black man with the exact clothing of his comrade. The stones behind him closed up, and that brought a smile on his face.
     " Who the hell are you guys?", she asked as she faced both men.
     " We are the ones that gave you immortality Lara", the first man stated," Without us you would still be in the grave".
     " It's better than using me to destroy Riverdale", snapped Lara.
     " You didn't destoryed Riverdale dear. You gave them a gift that their creator denied of them, the chance of living forever", replied the second man.
     " By making them mindless people?", asked Lara with a disappointing look.
     " If we still had you, they wouldn't have been like this. You are our first and only success dear, that makes you very important to us", replied the first male.
     " Where's the last one?", asked Lara.
     " He's watching us right now", replied the second man.
     " Good. Let him watch as I kick the crap out of both of you".
     They both laughed." Dear, just surrender and let's go. We can help you get back your memories", adviced the first man.
     Lara paused for a moment. She was unsure of what to say next. The men took their chances and started walking cautiously towards her. Then she opened her mouth wide as she perceived something and immediately ducked. Hot blue lasers came from nowhere and hit the first man from behind, making him to fly over Lara and crash through the wall. The other man saw Tyler walking towards them with blue eyes that were glowing dim. He was wearing a black suit with blue lines that all linked together to a large letter H on his chest and stomach. He stood and said to the second man," You want a piece of me assholes?".
     The second man frown, ran with superspeed towards Tyler and grabbed him by the neck.
     " Get out of my way freak", he snapped and threw Tyler toward some lockers. Tyler however landed on both legs on a locker that had a sticker bearing the words,' JASINIO'S PROPERTY', and flew straight at the man. They broke through the wall and crashed on the floor.
     " Meet your end!", exclaimed Tyler as his right fist glowed brightly blue. He attempted to punch the man's face but the man caught the punch with ease and broke his hand. Tyler yelled in pains from the counterattack. The man then grabbed him by the neck and levitated in the air.
     " You have no idea the magnitude of power that lies within the Alchemists!", roared the man who then gave Tyler a powerful headbutt that sent him crashing out of the building.
