Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 : Death of Loved Ones

Back at the lap, The Doctor was by his favorite test subject, He looked giddy as though he was about to jump with Joy." You know boy, this past few days could be said to be the most revelational for me. Getting to know you was a step to the next chapter in my life, though I understand that we got off the wrong foot, I want you to know, it wasn't personal and I may not show how sincere I am. I apologies, especially to what we did to your loved ones" Like a great actor the Doctor delivered those words as though a father who just disciplined a son. Listening to the last part of Dr Hoiriken's words, Sora got agitated, his worst fears came to the surface, you could see the desperation in his eyes as he try to scream over the the cloth over his mouth.

At that moment all he could see was red, like a bull ready to charge at the red cloth. Seeing that he gotten the reaction he wanted, Dr Hoiriken quickly got a footage show on the monitors in the lab. "Look, you are a rather special individual and understand as I tell you that, for you to reach the very pinnacle of this mortal being you are, the connections you have should be severed in order for you to focus on your ascension" as the doctor said that he pushed play on the video already uploaded on the screen.

On the screen you could see 4 boys sitting in a bench in a park, they don't appear to have the kind of energy boys should have, especially in such a wonderful weather, Sora recognized them. They were his friends, and by the look of it, they seem saddened by his passing, the gloomy moment didn't last for long though, soon as the boys seem to be ready to leave, two man came walking with caps and dark shades on, for a moments they seem to be communicating with the boys, but the next moment, the two man pulled out 9mm and opened fire with four bullets each finding a new home on the heads of the boys.

Watching this footage Sora's eyes blurred, you could see him shaking on the bed, trying to break away from the binds, if you look closely though, you could see that unlike last time, this time, the walls appear to be disintegrating. The Doctor was much aware of this, luckily the vibrations and the process of disintegration was weak due to the chemicals they had put in him.

He had enough poison in him to kill a large city of people, so his body was using most of it's energy in reparations, so less power could be used for offensive purposes. While Sora thought that, this is the worst it could happen, the scene changed on the screen. Seeing the feed from the seen Sora, started to shake, his veins started to bulge out till they burst and released black mucus like substances, before long his face looked bloody. The feed showed the front side of his house and if you looked close, You could see, his mother, big brother and little sister. His brother seems to be doing something on his computer.

His sister had was walking back and fourth with a book in her hands, she seems as though she was studying and was trying to understand something. And lastly, his mother, she looked deshaved and weak but she appeared she was getting better and cooking. Then his aunt's car stopped in the drive was before she came out with what seems to be groceries, The moment his aunt walked in.

Booom!!!

A huge explosion engulfed the house like a hungry shark taking a bite on an unsuspecting fish. Right at that moment, everything stopped shaking, Sora appears as though he stopped functioning. His eye were unresponsive as though conscious itself has left. The Doctor was panicking thinking he was brain dead from sudden trauma. Just as he was about to call someone to help he heard a voice, that sound both in and out of his mind, something primordial and ancient, it was at though it had no right to exist in this time.

[Well now you really have done it, It is still early for me to appear, I guess you must have pushed me past the breaking point. This mind is still way too fragile for a higher conscious such as me to dwell in it. But lad let me leave you with a warning, what you have done is of grave mistake, not only for you but this world as well. You have weakened the seal used to hold off something this world should never have tried to understand, Ow he's waking up, young lad you have been warned...."]

Before long the expression on Sora's face changed from that of a regal apathetic being to one of pure rage and hate. His eye were bloodshot that you could see red glow coming off them, you could seem that reasoning has left the building and only pure emotions are responsible to what is about to happen next.

"Hello Doctor, Please help me understand this, I really don't think you and I have any prior engagements so other than our relationship of subject and butcher I don't remember offending you. I had already resigned to my fate yet you still have to go and take thing too far, now tell me. How would you like to die." You could feel the rage spill of very words Sora was saying. Yet he sounded so calm like he was having tea and discussing weather.

The Doctor quickly came back to his senses seeing as what could be described as a beast baring its fangs at him. But deep down he understood that Sora's will power was still shaky and they need to get the ritual on the way.

This past month they have realized that with every sedation method they used on him it seems as though his body gets used to it quicker and quicker, so what they did for this last act was put a small explosive at the base of his skull so that they could disconnect him from his mind while they transport him to the ruins.

But as this was taking place, the Doctor was still lost in thought somehow, what he just experienced with that primordial consciousness could be said to have shaken his resolve a bit. But deep down he knew that, everything has already been set to motion and there is nothing he could do about it. If he were to try and call off the whole thing, there is a good thing he could be killed, and there's already hundreds of people happy and willing to take his pot as Forefather and 11 other who also want to gain the title of First Father. It seems the only thing he could do right now is try to find a way to finish the Boy off quickly as soon the ceremony is done. Besides he could also grow to become a powerful monster capable of holding off whatever it is they had unleashed.

But still, the aura, oppressive nature and over baring nature of that consciousness still lingers off his heart, but he quickly managed to push it aside and called Jacob to come and prepare Sora for the event, his wounds are already showing a remarkable sign of healing, it won't take long before he wakes up and from the way he was before, it seems this is the one and only chance to get the gate open or they won't be able to hold him off anymore. With every burn, breaking bone, and cut he takes, it seemed as though his body quickly adapts and ready to heal quicker next time. And this time, even his bounding chains and cloth no longer seem to have the power to hold him back anymore. Dr Hoiriken knew that if Sora wanted, he could have escaped long ago, it was just the fear that the moment he leaves, his family will get targeted in order to get to him.

Now that his leash gone, he don't see the need to hold back anymore. Not that they don't also have a way to hold him off though. Before they were trying not to hurt him or worse accidently kill him, so they used less harmful way to detain him. Now that they did some experiments on him they also understand that killing him is as hard as trying to drain the ocean with a straw, which leaves one option. Though Sora has remarkable physical capabilities, at the end of the day he still has some human like limitation. And this limitation will have a key role in the moment they gonna need to detain him. Hopefully for a long time.

Before long, Jacob returned to the lap finding his foster father standing there and looking dazed. "First Forefather, They are waiting for you." said Jacob, with that, the First Forefather returned to reality. "Ok lead the way." First Forefather replied, and started to follow Jacob. With every step taken it felt as though every step help more weigh to it. Like the whole world was looking at him in anticipation. This walk never felt so long but right now, every step had purpose, like an affirmation to a promise made real.
