Zach wakes up in a room filled with nothing, he looks around confused about what had happened he didn't remember anything except that he saw Jolt before he knocked out he tries looking around but couldn't find anything to escape. A young girl comes out of the shadow and just stands in front of him. "Is everything okay with you?" Zach says, he gently moves closer to her the girl didn't react her eyes was closed she then grabs Zach right hand rudely before he could even say anything he felt his soul leaving his body immediately and knocks off. In a flashback Zach, Tony, Farrell and Nii were on the run they luckily were able to flee from the clutches of the soldiers they're parents were distracting them. "Where do we go now? Do we just keep on running?" Farrell says already getting tired, Nii grabs his hand trying to drag him to continue. "I don't know but we certainly can't go back home." Nii looked so confused she had to lead the family since she was the eldest and everyone looked distressed. They're mum who had blood all over her body joins them quickly but it didn't look like she was going to stay. "Mum, I'm scared." Tony voice was shaking, he and Zach were so young they had no idea what was going on but they knew there was trouble. "I'm going to back to the house and distract those soldiers so you guys can get out of here." The mum says to them with tears dropping out of her eyes rapidly, Zach runs to grab her legs not wanting her to leave them. "I have to go, Nii and Farrell make sure both of you take care of your younger brothers." She says and gave Nii a paper that had a drawing. "The drawing is a map, you'll find a local town you should all go there." She says to them her voice was breaking down, they all ran to hug her she held them tightly not wanting to let them go her kids were leaving her and she might never see them again. "Time to let go kids." She says to them, tears were all gushing out from their eyes except Farrell who was trying his best to stay strong. They heard the voices of the soldiers coming closer the mum knew what had to do and took off with lightning speed to lure the soldiers away from her kids, Zach cries out wanting to follow her but Farrell quickly drags him away while Nii held a heartbroken Tony hand. Three days later, they all journey to get to thetown their mum told them about, they were all hungry, they couldn't find any good food except left overs from broken buildings everyone had flee to escape the soldiers while some were already captured so they were all by themselves. They arrived at a forest and it looks like it had already been invaded by other people they saw multiple left over fruits on the floor while some looked fresh on top of tress. "Can't we get some of the food there?" Tony cries out pointing at the trees with foods but Nii refused, the forest looked very strange to her. "No, what if it has some kind of poison in it?" Nii says swiftly she had vowed to protect her younger ones since it was only her they could look up to but Farrell was a little bit difficult. "Just let him get the fruit, it won't hurt nobody." Farrell says recklessly but Nii refused Zach on the other hand was seeking knowledge he wanted to learn more about Supernaturals if they might actually be facing them he then finds a huge textbook laying on the ground. "Wow." Zach says astonished then turns the pages around he saw different pictures of Wizards but mostly beast Nii and Farrell moved closer to see what he was checking. "This could help us out, we don't know what we might face in this place." Zach says and grabs it quickly, Nii praises him for doing well but Farrell walks away. "This isn't going to help us........... I suggest we all go back to where were coming from." Farrell says aggressively, he couldn't keep up anymore and didn't believe where they were heading too was going to be fine for them he just wanted to relax and since he knew the soldiers weren't going to kill them why not join, Nii drags him to a corner to confront him about his recent attitude. "I know this is hard for you but we just stay brave for our little ones, we can't just say anything that we want to say." Nii scolds him but this turns into a argument between both of them that they weren't paying attention to their younger ones anymore until Zach yells at them. "Guys! I think something is wrong with Tony!" Zach yells at the top of his voice again, they quickly rushed to join him and a almost unconscious Tony who was shaking his body and his veins were glowing in a blue colour beside him was a strange fruit on the floor Tony had taken a bite out of it when no one was watching. In the present, Tony is put in a casual cell after whatever was being done on him was complete he had no idea what happened he knew he relieved somethings that happened to him in the last but after that nothing else staying in the cell on his left was a boy who had blue skins and white coloured furs around his body. "You're new here." The boy had a very deep and scary voice but was surprisingly nice he genuinely wanted Zach to feel comfortable. "Yes." Zach had read about his kinds before a long time ago he forgot most of the things he read since he never got the chance to meet one. "What is this..........." Zach wanted answer but before he could ask, the girl who he saw earlier was taken to the cell right beside him too, he quickly faces her to confront her about what she did to him. "You know what you did to me back there wasn't cool, I had to see shits that I hid far away from myself." Zach says to her rudely the other boy got up to defend her. "Leave her alone, she did what she had to do." The boy says to him swiftly, the girl felt bad for she did and knew they were going to call her to do more. "I'm sorry." She tells Zach, she could sense the pain he was feeling when she did that. "Can't you see me? What's wrong with your eyes?" Zach says noticing that she kept it closed, the boy who had vowed to protect her was about to interrupt and the girl could tell. "I can defend myself Geraz......... I'm blind." She says to Zach swiftly, now he felt so bad for asking but she was not upset. "I'm sorry for asking so rude, I was just so upset." Zach says softly then sits on the floor, thinking of what next to do. "It's okay, I know you went through a lot when you saw your past I could feel a massive strong energy of pain and regret." She points out to him, Zach looks around and they were multiple people in different cells. ""Name is Kia by the way." Kia says nicely, Zach turns to look at her. "Zach but you might already know, what is this place?" Zach says to her since it seems like she was the only one that was willing to talk, Geraz on the other hand was trying to catch some sleep. "This is where the government experiment on people to give them Supernatural powers but the serum they give is extremely powerful so they conduct experiments on people if you're strong enough to survive it then you get the serum.", Kia says swiftly, Zach quickly stood up then realized that this must be the place his parents were taken to he wondered if they were still alive Farrell never denied it so he wanted to know. "How do we get out of here?" Zach says to both of them he was willing to do anything but Geraz and Kia chuckle both knowing there's no escaping. "The last person that tried to escape was literally burnt to death, there's no leaving this place." Geraz says he had been here for years and had lost all hope of ever being found. A group of soldiers open Zach cell and dragged him out of the place. "Let me go you bastards!" Zach yells at the top of his voice but was ignored, the people from other cells watch him gets dragged and felt so much remorse for him. They arrived at a dark room Zach wasn't ready to go through another torment so he got up to quickly escape but the guards point their Ray guns on him. "Take off your clothes." One of the soldiers tell him, Zach nods his head to the negative refusing to do it but he could see the soldiers finger tip on the trigger of the gun. "Fine." Zach says wondering what they were going to do to him, he took off his shirt thinking that was all. "We mean everything." Another soldier says to him as he pointed his gun on Zach chest, the young boy gulps then follows there orders, he took off the jeans that he wore he then looks at his underwear and expected the soldiers to look away but they didn't. "Shit." Zach says to himself the slowly took off his underwear, he stood up straight naked wondering what they were going to do next but the soldiers just stood there pointing the gun on him. "Is there any other thi........" Zach wanted to know if that was all but before he could complete whatever he wanted to say one of the soldiers blast him right in his chest with the Ray gun. In a flashback, after Tiny had ate the fruits his siblings wonder the whole place looking for help or any medical kit that could heal him but they found nothing "What do we do now!?" Farrell yells he had a very quick temper and he was frustrated about his younger brother health, tears were dropping out of Zach eyes and he was praying to Xom that his brother will be fine. "I don't know, we'll figure something out." Nii calmly tells him, she looked so stressed but she wasn't ready to give up on her brother. "There's no one here, Tony is about to die I suggest we go back to the soldiers." Farrell says to her, Zach was confused why they were arguing he expected them to focus on a dying Tony. "Then what Farrell? I'm not risking anyone's life." She says to him, she just wanted him to stop talking so she could focus on Tony. "You're not the boss of me." Farrell claps back, a man who was wearing a all black clothes confronts them with a gun. "Who are you people, were you sent by the government too?" The man quickly says and they all raised their hands up, Nii moves closer to him wanting to explain their situation. "We don't work for the government, we're normal people just trying to survive." Nii tells him but the points the gun directly to her forehead, everyone begins to pleads he didn't trust them but after taking a look at how Tony looked so sick he puts his gun down. "Where are you people heading to?" The man says to them swiftly, Nii brought out the paper that was given to her and reads the town they were heading too. "Dorting town." Nii says her body was shaking cause of the gun, the man was heading there too and he was all alone he could use the back up. "Same, follow me." He tells them, turns around and walks away Nii quickly carries Tony and they all follow the man to a tiny hut but he had a lot of food with him, his carrier was also huge that it could carry multiple people. He brought out three loaf of bread and the siblings quickly devour it they've all been hungry, the man took a crumb of bread and slowly puts it in Tony mouth. "He ate a geun fruit, you'll need to make a potion for him to get better but for the meantime just feed him food." The man says, he wasn't sure that he could trust them but they all looked lost. "What's going on? Seems like the whole world is on fire." Nik says to the man, she only ate little so her brothers could take the rest. "The King wants more Supernaturals, they want all of us to surrender by force but I'm not going they took my wife away." The man says with a deep voice, Nii could understand his pain. "They took our parents........... We've never been on our before this is all new to us to." Nii says softly and faces her head down. "Well you're going to need to learn, Dorting is far from here our journey is going to take months." He says to her hoping her and the others were going to get ready. "If it's to get my siblings to somewhere that'll bring them peace then I'm willing to do anything." Nii says boldly the man praises her confidence, Farrell who heard everything they said didn't like the idea. Inside the carrier, Tony was laying his head on Nii after eating that bread he was gaining little conscience he taps his sister. "Where............ Are we......... Going?" He asked, his body was shivering and he felt so much pain she slowly pats his head then brings out a picture of them and their parents. "We're going on a journey to get you help, it might be risky but just hold on everything is going to be fine." She whispers to his ears then gives him the picture. "Hold on to that, pray to Xom like Mum used to say don't lose hope little brother." Nii says to him, he was already losing conscience but still heard everything she said. Months passed, the journey was difficult they all went through different trials from avoiding soldiers to facing monsters to trying multiple antidotes on Tony that didn't work everyday they all faced something terrible but this brought them closer except Farrell who has been acting bitter since the day they left he just wanted to live a smooth and fine life. One day, the team were running out of food and the man they were following came up with an idea that they steal from a beast called a "Cat'weg." A humanoid tiger which was known to always keeping food but it was deadly and dangerous. "Are you sure you don't want us to come with you Saga?" Nii tells him as he gears up to attack the beast, Farrell just stood from afar Zach was beside him while Tony was inside the carrier resting. "You guys stay and watch your brother, this isn't my first time." Saga says then breathes out, he faces the forest and runs towards it. "Hope he brings back some food, I really don't care if he survived." Farrell says arrogantly. "That's not something nice to say." Zach corrects him, he hadn't been talking with his brother since he noticed he had a change in attitude. "I don't care." Farrell says rudely, Nii had learnt to just ignore him anytime he was complaining she couldn't put up with his behaviors anymore. Thirty minutes later, Saga wasn't yet back and Nii began to get worried she wanted to go check if he was okay but they suddenly heard the growl of a tiger. "It's the beast." Zach says, he had studied about multiple animals in that his book and could easily detect stuffs about animals. The head of Saga is thrown from the forest towards them and everyone even Farrell screams. "s**t!" Nii cries out. In the present, Zach wakes up still naked he is tied down to a chair everywhere was still dark as he looked around there were several marks on his chest due to the blast earlier this time two soldiers show up with whips and they begin to lash him really hard with it. "Let me go!" Zach voice broke down as tears gushes out from his eyes and his skin began to peel off. In a flashback, Zach and family manage to escape from the beast who had been chasing them since it killed Saga, they all got to the top of a cliff with some bags filled with food inside Tony situation was getting worse but luckily they were almost at Dorting town when Nii checked the map. "Let's all just stay focused guys, we're almost there." Nii says marking several spots in the map but Farrell has had enough of everything. "s**t! Can you give me a f*****g break? Nothing is working out and even if we get to Dorting town what's the assurance that those soldiers won't come there or who knows they might have already gotten there." Farrell yells at the top of his voice with Saga dead he was losing his mind. "Can you just stay..............." Nii tries to cooperate with him but Farrelll was done. "No, I've had enough and I'm not going to put up with this bullshit. I'm going on my own to find those soldiers they shouldn't be far from here." Farrell says swiftly then turns around, Zach leaves Tony who was laying on the floor to reason with his elder brother. "Farrell don't leave, we need you here with us." Zach pleads, he just wanted everyone to stick together for the meantime. "No, let him go I'm sick of his stupid ego I'm also tired but I'm not going to show it........... Farrell you've been a pain in the ass since we left home." Nii lets out her anger something she has been keeping inside for so long. "Well I guess I just don't want to live a life filled with sadness." Farrell says mockingly, Tony begins to cough heavily Zach and Nii quickly run towards him. Tony condition was getting worst blood was coming out of his mouth. "Farrell pass me the bag." Nii says expecting him to give it to her but she didn't receive anything, her and Zach turns around and they are both shocked to see figure out that Farrell had left. In the present, Zach is dragged back to his cell naked after getting tortured by multiple people taken through different experiments luckily he was strong enough to survive it. Kia and Geraz both look at him feeling so much pity for the poor guy. "Is this how they do it to everyone here?" Zach says as he coughs constantly, Kia nods to the positive. "Mine was different, when I got here my telepathy power wasn't that strong so they wanted to increase the strength......... They tampered with my brain which affected my sight." Kia says sadly but she wanted him to know that she understood his pain and how he felt "Sorry about that." Zach faces her and says softly. "With the help of Geraz I was able to use my powers to sense things around me I've gotten better." Kia says calmly. "She also helped me out too but I'm not going to go deep into details." Geraz says he had trust issues and only liked Kia. "We had each other to survive this monstrosity, you'll get through this I believe in you." Kia says to him, she breathes out then uses her powers to try and calm him down. "I have a friend that's here, I'm hoping she does something to find me and get me out but I've always been betrayed and alone all my life." Zach says thinking about Jolt, he wonders if she was fine he knew she would be alive but hoped she was doing good and he also hoped that Tony had gotten far away from the government that he at least found somewhere nice to stay. "You're very strong." Kia tells him she could feel him holding so much pain and trying his best to survive. "What can I say I've been through a lot." Zach chuckles thinking about all the struggles he went through with Tony and his siblings. "You might get upset about this but when they forced me to do what I did to, I saw a young lady deep inside your memories and I wonder who is she?" Kia says hoping he wouldn't get angry but her powers actually helped him to stay calm and for the first time he wanted to talk about his past. "You're probably talking about my sister Nii, she was the strongest person I knew." Zach smiles thinking about how wonderful she was. "Knew? Where is she?" Kia says to him, Geraz was also paying attention to what Zach was saying. "I thought she was maybe dead........... But as you said only the strongest survive this experiments." Zach says, he had lost hope of ever seeing his parents and sister but for him to still be alive he believed that his parents and sister might be alive somewhere he wasn't big on hope but he just wanted to believe in something that'll make him feel better. "My younger sister was brought here too............. She was in the cell Kia is, I always told her to remain strong each day they came to get us but one day she never came back." Tears rolled out of Geraz eyes as he tells his story. "I knew she was dead when one of those soldiers were mocking her they called her multiple names like stupid, weak and useless I miss her so much." Geraz says gently, his mind went to he's sister immediately Zach talked about his. "Maybe I can get through this." Zach says in his head Kia could hear him due to her powers, she looks at him and smiles but the fun was immediately over when Farrell approaches Zach cell with a devilish grin he was also wearing a gauntlet. "Hey little bro." Farrell says with a smile, Zach grunts and slowly gets up to confronts his brother. "Are you happy about what's being done to me? I'm suffering Farrell, just let me go." Zach cries out hoping his brother will have some humanity in him. "Humans are weak brother being a Supernatural will make you powerful, we can go find Tony together and get him to join us." Farrell says casually Kia and Geraz wondered what was going on but Kia could feel that there was a broken relationship between them. "f**k off, I mean it f**k off Farrell!" Zach says loudly a lot of other prisoners could hear his scream, Farrell hated being disrespected so from the outside he pressed a button and the cell opens. Zach knew he stood no chance against his brother so he was moving back. "Don't talk to me like that!" Farrell says already powering up his gauntlet before Zach could say anything Farrell punches him really hard on the cheek. In a flashback, years later Nii and her brothers had gotten to Dorting town and after going through so many stress they were settling in fine, they got to be friends with a potion maker who was helping Tony out and he was getting better day by day. One night the siblings were all together in a room thinking about everything they've been through together and Tony brought up Farrell. "I still miss Farrell." Tony says as he looks at the family picture Nii gave to him, he wanted everyone to be together so bad. "Farrell made his decision Tony, I too wished he stayed we can only pray to Xom that he's doing fine wherever he is." Nii says softly she had tried multiple times to get him out her head but it didn't work. "f**k Xom." Zach says with a low tone, Tony quickly hits him on the hand he on the other hand had massive respect Xom. "What? If Xom was real we'll definitely not be in a situation like this." Zach says carelessly this causes a argument between both brothers, Nii laughs looking at them arguing happily like old times but she hears sudden noises from outside and before she could check what was going on through the window the wall explodes hurting the three of them. Farrell and a bunch of soldiers come out of the smoke. "Hey siblings." Farrell waves at them with a smirk on his face.
