He slowly opened his eyes, to a hazy vision. When it cleared and he could see straight, he wished he hadn't woken up at all. Pain throbbed through his body. Epic tried to rise, he failed and collapsed to the cold, hard floor. Epic had no clue as to where he was at this moment in time, but it didn't exactly matter. He needed to focus on standing up first. The room was dark, and empty except for a bed, a toilet: he had no clue as to if it works or not, a steel table, and two steel chairs. There was also an air-vent and a CCTV camera in the room, both near the ceiling. The air-vent looked large enough for him to fit through, if he were to use it as an escape route. There was also a reinforced door with a small slit to look through. That would be his only way to see outside of the room. 'What happened? Why am I here?' Epic thought, too weak to talk. 'Why am I in so much pain?' But try as he might, Epic couldn't remember... "What is he doing?" Otto spoke to himself, as he watched the person with the fire power lay on the floor after trying to move, it seemed, that he may have hit him too hard, he had to be careful. This person not only filled the final slot in the secret army, but also happened to be the candidate with most potential, even only after seeing him use his power for a split second, he could feel it...
Sure, Otto... You and Fletch are equal... And when you have this huge fight... You'll gain a "sudden burst of unknown power" and destroy Fletch... ...Right?
Is it gonna be like the Sephiroth vs Genesis fight in ff7 where we are equal then I catch you off guard and I'm about to beat you then some annoying other guy comes in stops me then you get your guard up again then you beat me
How about you two weaken each-other severely then I come in and beat both of you in an eruption of flames?
"Kill them all" Otto ordered as 50 men appeared in front of Epic. "Kill them? But they're people! Don't you think that the king will notice the dramatic population drop?" Epic questioned "They're clones, I know that if they were real people, the king's radar would detect them straight away." Otto explained, though he sounded slightly offended, as if he thought Epic was telling him that he was stupid. Epic lunged at the nearest opponent and, sliced it in half with a concentrated flame-sword, and just as Otto had said, they weren't real people. Instead of organs, there was machinery. Wires, instead of veins. This world's technology was far more advanced than Epic had first thought. Then Epic targeted his next target, but as he was about to attack, he was gripped from behind, by multiple clones. Then a single clone stood in front of Epic, it held an energy sword of some kind. It advanced on Epic. But Epic released his fire, like at the house, when he first used his flame. It melted all of the enemy's holding him, but the energy sword wielding one was too far away still and avoided most of the damage. Epic then launched a rally of heat-waves and defeated over half of the opposing force. Then something happened. Whilst Epic was fighting he was losing control of his body. Eventually he lost it. Black flames appeared in his hands and destroyed the remaining clones along with over half of the facility with it, in seconds. Otto and Fletch had to subdue Epic together. He had become almost unstoppable. But was eventually defeated.
Kids these days need to be controlled, only I (I hope) can control dark fire without being overpowered by it!
