Date in Timeline: July 24th Time of Day: Sometime between 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM Why was he so scared of this guy? Cause he was monstrously huge? Cause his teeth looked sharp enough to rip a 200 pound man limb from limb? Cause his horns were two foot long? Cause he looked like he could rip a car using brute strength? Cause he looked like a Minotaur? Cause….maybe it would be best to stop now. He wasn’t particularly scared of him, more surprised really, but it was probably normal to feel a form of fear while looking at this mutant. He was completely wrong though since he was something different from what he expected. This monstrous mutant was actually an intellectual person that filled his words with logic and sophistication. He showed no signs of wanting to tear anyone limb for limb nor showed any signs that he wished to anytime soon. They had been talking for most of the night and through a lot of the morning. With no clocks or sun shining through their cages, there was really no way to tell what time it was. Their discussion involved their beliefs and their experiences. When Diego first met him the day before, woke him up rather, he thought that Toro was of a different image and would be angry as hell for waking him up but he wasn’t angry at all, if anything he was agitated for not waking up by himself. Through his sophistication and intellect, there was a beast waiting to rip out of his cage to cause havoc on the world. Toro explained to him his life. This Minotaur-like mutant was not born as he appeared now. His fur, teeth, hooves, and cranial differences developed later in his life but he was only born with his horns which caused great disappointment in his parents. Apparently, he was the son of some great businessman with money thus allowing him to get the best teachers and tutors in the country. His mutation, like most mutants, was the downside of his life since he was treated like scum. Often bullied, he would come home with scars and bruises which only caused more from his father since he was a disappointment. The Mexican man inferred that his feelings of despair and anger bottled up inside him, kind of like he did but for Toro, it would become more dangerous. When he was thirteen, he was involved in a small fight in his school and as usual he was being bullied but at this time his full mutation activated and at the same time all his emotions at once. The transformation was painful for him which was a given considering growing fur, hooves, sharp teeth and a bull-like cranial structure from a semi-human one was not a pretty process. Needless to say, Toro could not control his new found abilities and tore the bullies apart. The rest could be left to the imagination as he directly told Diego and he had a good idea what occurred next in his life. What interested him was that this sophisticated and “great” man beside him turned his life into one of a criminal since as stated by the scientist, all mutants were basically current or former criminals in this facility, though a few exceptions. It was around this time that Diego fully noted the “M” tattoo and began to draw attention to it since it was unusual and Toni had one too in the same position as Toro. He just had to ask, ”Toro, what’s that tattoo you got on your cheek? The ‘M’. Looks like it took a lot of work to place it on that fur” “Ah yes, I was wondering when you might inquire something concerning my tattoo. Obviously you had probability realized this similar tattoo on your kin’s epidermis before. Well, this tattoo is an indication of my pride, honor, and ‘power’ as a mutant. It was primarily used by the incarceration system as a way to ‘brand’ us and exclude us from baselines. We have altered the meaning of this symbol in our own way. You have probably heard of infamous prison life and the Darwin principles that apply to it and it is just that. In most places, our kind was either scattered and independent or organized but weak which made us easy targets also considering the fact that we were nullified the entire time. We banded together under one person and this became our symbol of hope and freedom.” ”You made a prison gang?” Diego could pretty much read between the lines of Toro’s words and knew instantly what he was talking about. “In simpler terms, yes. It was a matter of survival and strategy in prison. We soon managed to get respect from the other gangs and in essence and gang terminology, we took over. Everything became as we wanted and we basically ran the place. It was all for our pride. Before we banded together under our strong leader, we were nothing. Most of us had depended way too much on our powers to actually know how to get around without usage of them. Targets we were to those ruthless criminals but after that, no more. We didn’t hope to become a pitiful gang any longer though as it was in our goals to make our how you would call gang into a wide spread pro-mutant organization. This mark would show allegiance and strength and pride” ”Really now? And what did you call this so called organization?” ”Mutation Alliance” Toni suddenly stated. He was rested in the back of his cell merely listening in to the conversation between Toro and Diego and this was the first time he had stated a word in many hours. Brown eyes squinted with suspicion towards his cousin in his word choices. A smirk and a chuckle of realization suddenly appeared from the brown skinned Latino since all the pieces came together based on logic, common sense, Toro’s story, and Diego’s knowledge of Toni’s personality. ”So, you created this gang did you Toni?” It was here where the revealing caused a silence between all three mutants and to this Diego scoffed. ”You think you can create a supergang or something but for mutants? Estas loco. You think your Mutation Alliance will be the next Mexican Mafia or something? Prison’s screwed up your mind Toni. Don’t lie to me either about your true intentions with this bullshit. I’ve looked at you like an older brother since I was little and I know you so don’t pull no shit over my head, comprendes?” Toni did not get a chance to respond as suddenly the door leading to the cell room opened and three tough looking humans walked down the hallway and stood before Diego and Toro’s cell. They were all very military looking and wore similar dressing, a grey hue or something along with captain hats. They looked like those Empire guys off of Star Wars. Long sticks were in each of their hands and one of them had visibly glowing tubes that almost appeared to be handcuffs. What was going on? The cell door suddenly opened and the nullifying device instantly shut off but because of that the three ran in to the cell and pointed their sticks at the two mutants. The sticks suddenly changed into those electrifying forks that began to glow blue. Neither mutant dared to move now. “Salinas, come with me. Dr. Morrison is waiting to show you something” Their eyes met and instantly tensions rose. For a second, Diego thought that he should just slam his foot to the man’s face and take the others by surprise putting into account his martial arts mastery and quickness but he didn’t for it would be too unbeneficial for all of them. He still had many questions and little answers and it appeared that this mutant infatuated human was the only one who could give him answers. Diego gave a short nod and began walking forward. He was expecting a peaceful walk down to the scientist but that wasn’t going to happen any time soon. Like a wild animal, Diego was suddenly slammed to the ground giving him no time to really react since it was completely unexpected and these guys were surprisingly good in their submission holds, they had probably studied Ju-Jitsu or something. A collar was placed around his neck, cuffs on his hands, and cuffs on his feet connected by a chain. All of these contraptions were glowing blue; nullifiers. His body was raised up like a doll and nudged forward towards the cage. Sure he was angry at how things were turning out but what could he do now? Like a good little prisoner Diego walked out of the cell and into the hallway. The intense light shone directly on his brown face and illuminated his features which had been cloaked in shadow for some time now. Walking before his cousin’s cell, the red skinned man shifted his head back a few centimeters and smirked a bit. ”Humans”, he stated while shaking his head a bit in disapproval. Diego did not notice the long walk from the cell wing to the “Doctor’s” main office since he was too busy studying the scenery and everything around him. He wasn’t really thrilled to see the human doc once more for what he had put him in but was he really in a position to express all of his anger? No. The guy with the biggest stick wins and they had a respectably large stick with them. “Ah, come come Mr. Salinas, I’ve been expecting you. I trust you aren’t too tired though I wouldn’t be too surprised if you were since you’ve been speaking to Mr. Roth for many hours now. Interesting specimen, isn’t he?” It was all an interesting word choice since it just showed his views towards all of Diego’s kind. ”We’re not specimen, we’re mutants. And you’ve been listening to us, huh? I’m not surprised” “Now now. It is not necessary for you to take that kind of tone with me. We’re just talking but it seems you have taken an instant dislike to me so perhaps I’ll get straight to the point of why I have called for you. I’ll tell you the truth since it is quite pointless now to keep anything from you,” oh this was going to be good, “I am a scientist, Mr. Salinas. All I wish is to explore the realms that science contains and one of those realms is that of your kind. Mutants. Your genetic structure is so interesting that it has made me dedicate my life to study you. We really have little knowledge of how your body’s work and do as they do. There is so much we have yet to understand such as how can you tell what power you have received, its manifestations process, and its evolution. We don’t know why sometimes your mutation affects your body and sometimes it doesn’t. We have yet to directly explore the inheritance of this to offspring. All of these questions and more I wish to learn the answers to but I cannot learn without experimentation and I cannot experiment without subjects. The United States government has direct laws about this sort of thing which is infuriating to work around so I have built this base as my lab. In the middle of the desert in the middle of nowhere, here the government cannot detect us. No mutant would obviously volunteer to be experimented on so I had to forcefully take people but that too would cause problems if I took any ordinary mutant. I had to take those with sin who the world would be glad to be rid of, criminals, mutant criminals. For many months now, I have been proceeding with my experiments but unfortunately money is needed to continue so I had to receive funding. There were a group of people who were interested in my research and wished to fund me but they did require something from me. I must do as they wish since they’re the boss basically. In my experiments, I’ve managed to partially alter a mutant but it leaves an aftereffect to the brain which in turn allows me or whoever to bend that mutant to their will. My bosses wish to use this to their own plans. I personally care not for this but I’ll do it since I was asked to.” ”You’re a crazy bastard you know that? First you use us like we’re only subjects for you to experiment on and now you’re playing god by doing strange shit to us for your pendejo bosses who hold you by your leash just because they’re funding you? What kind of putos are they to do this?” “You think lightly of them. Not such a good idea, especially when it’s the FoH,” he pressed a button on a tiny remote hanging on the steel wall which caused the backdoor of his office to open. It was completely dark inside and only the black silhouettes of something could be seen. From there three mutants stepped out. The first was a large werewolf looking mutant with black fur and a snarling canine face. The second was a large green and scaly reptilian mutant with a huge and muscular tail. The last one looked the most human from the rest but he still did not appear baseline. His skin was blue and his ears pointed, large bat wings grew from his back and eyes as red as an apple glowed mysteriously in his eye sockets. “These are the first of the many to come. Their mind’s are basically mine to control and will do whatever I wish. When they arrived, they were full of weaknesses but after altering them somewhat, I’ve removed those weaknesses and made them stronger than ever, though at the moment it is all temporary so I must continue to execute the procedure on them. In their new minds though, they have little experience in combat so they must re-learn it by fighting. That is where you come in. I want you to train and spar with them until their levels of control increase to the desired level. Once you complete this task, I’ll let you go.” ”Like hell I will. I’m not some idiota, I know what’s going to happen if I do and I’m not helping you resume with your sicko actions here. This FoH sounds like they’re going to use them for their own evil deeds or whatever and I ain’t helping that” “I had a feeling you might refuse. That’s why I captured two trump cards” Pushing another button, the wall behind Diego and the guards who took him from his cell rose up revealing a window on the other side which showed a room. On the wall were to young women who appeared to be extremely tired and in pain. Diego’s eyes widened at this sight. He knew them, both of them. Flor and Crystal. His thought to be dead sister and his runaway cousin. |
