Chapter 4: Mystery


When I awoke, I found myself laying on a bed. It's soft smooth texture greets my face as my eyes opened. Where am I? When my eyes opened, I saw a small room. So small, that there was only enough space for one person to walk. Sitting up, I suddenly felt something slide off of me. My eyes immediately darted toward my legs. On my legs, I found a long purple trench coat. On it's collar and back were strange symbols. While I couldn't understand them, I did understand why this trench coat was here. This trench coat was that guy's! He must have brought me here. But why? He tried to kill me earlier. Why would someone try to kill you then turn around and save you? It doesn't make any sense. Could it have something to do with my powers? Maybe. But maybe I can find out. Swiftly, I get out of the bed and stand up. When I do, my body darts to the bookshelves on the wall. There must be something here that can help me. Someone must have written something about what they did here. As my eyes scan the bookshelves, I found myself drawn to a notebook. Eagerly, my hands reach out and grab the notebook. Instantly, I start thumbing though the pages until I come up on a journal entry.

Project

It has been three years since we started this project. And so far, our efforts have ended in failure. It's unfortunately that we haven't found a suitable candidate yet. But even though we haven't found who we're looking for, I still remain as hopeful as ever. With each step we take, I can feel us getting closer and closer to our prime candidate. I hope it won't be too much longer...

Project Part 2

It has been awhile since I last wrote in this journal. But so far, we still haven't had any success yet. However, we have been able to get a sample of the virus those things are infected with. And so far, we have discovered so many things. It's no wonder Her Royal Magestrix wants this to be researched. With this virus, it's a wonder those people haven't take the galaxy yet. They must be planning something... And if they are, we must find our candidate soon.

Project Part 3

We have dubbed this new virus, B-Virus. B meaning barnacle. We dubbed it this because the virus shows barnacles on those it infects. What a fascinating virus! We have learned so much about it in such short time. But learning about the virus isn't the best part. After years of searching and waiting, we have finally found our candidate! A little girl named Rain Everest has been brought to us. She has such amazing powers! Power's I'm not even sure are human. When she's around the virus, the virus will be burned away! It's almost as if her presence can set it on fire! How wonderful! Now our project can take off. Now we will have someone to protect Earth from them.

Immediately, I close the journal. So they weren't really experimenting on the virus. They were just researching it. Oh... that makes more sense. But why have the virus here? I mean, sure you would have an isolated place were the infection wouldn't spread But we're so far deep into the ocean. If the virus spread, how would you be able to contact the surface and tell them not to come down here? You know what, I don't know. I'm guessing they either didn't plan for that or underestimated the virus. Either way, we still have a virus outbreak in this facility. And that means I've got to escape. I put the journal back onto the bookshelf and turn to leave. However, my body stops me. A thought comes into my mind. What about the trench coat? Should I return it to that guy? You know what, I don't think I should. He may try to kill me again if I come close. I might as well should just leave it. When I approach the door, it quickly slid open. However, instead of the doorway being empty, I found myself face to face with a familiar foe.

"So... you spare me and bring me here. Only to turn around and kill me. Make up your mind man" I say, my voice filled with annoyance. The guy stands before me. I expected him to pull out his sword and point it at me. But he doesn't. He just stands there staring at me. He's hesitating. He must not want to do this. Maybe now's the time I can use my powers. If I use my powers I could possibly cure him. Slowly, I reach out to his face. When my hands were an inch from his face, he suddenly ran away. Instantly, I start to chase after him.

"Wait! Stop! I want to help you!" I yell. But the guy doesn't slow down. Instead, he keeps on running. As I run, I feel myself slowing down more and more. Soon, I was out of breath. Immediately, I stopped and tried to catch my breath. I couldn't catch him. But he'll be back, he always comes back. I catch my breath, just an alarm sounds.
