Chapter 5: A Past That Fuels The Present (Part 2)

Author's Note: Howdy readers, this is a continuation of a flashback, where the last chapter stopped. In current time of the story, Jiro and Maho are still in the apartment in Yokohama.

Enjoy the flashback madness!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this room, he was placed on a chair with various constraints and cables linked with tubes. The child knew what was to come as he had been going through these experiments since he was 10, since he passed out in the orphanage and woke up in this facility. 

Fūdo Nawatami was conducting the experiments as always and he was baffled at his failures to create a superhuman so far. He knew his boss cared about results and the sooner he could get the project going, the better things would be for him. He sat down on his chair as the guards placed the child inside the experiment chamber under restraints, quietly pondering which method he should try now seeing as combining DNA had gone terribly wrong. At this moment, he remembered that the human body produced an exceptional reaction when under extreme stress and maybe that could be the key to unlocking something within the subjects. These children had been taken from an orphanage, although admittedly they were only orphans because the Strike Force had stealthily murdered parents in a poor neighborhood, but still remarkable individuals were chosen among the children. They had carefully analyzed those who looked to have more potential than the average.

"Place the conductors around his forehead, wrists and ankles, we're starting the experiment now" - said Nawatami as he looked at the data in his computer

Experiment: #53
Name: Jiro Hanata
Experiment Group: Project Jupiter
Experiment Result: Pending

He looked straight at the eyes of the child that was inside the chamber. This one was a 13 year old and he could clearly see the fear and despair in his purple eyes, nothing that really affected him as they were simply a means to an end. His boss wanted to create an army of individuals capable of subduing even the most heavily armed troops. He pressed a few buttons on his table and the experiment started as the conductors carried the electric charges and started electrocuting the child

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" - the child screamed at the top of his lungs as volts were going through his body. As this experiment was taking place, two kids whose collars had malfunctioned had ran from the quarters and were going through the halls before stumbling upon the experiment room, entering it and hiding near the bottled chemicals. Nawatami had already muted the sounds as he was observing the vital signs of the subject, he saw that there was increased activity in the subject's brain as it reacted to the extreme stress it was being put through when suddenly the screen turned red, alerting him of a danger as the charged became uncontrollable and just as he managed to take cover-

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

An explosion had taken place as sparks flew, hitting chemical containers that were near the chamber. As the smoke cleared, there was a big hole in the central chamber but the subject was nowhere to be found until he looked to the left where the chemicals were and he found the child there, partly covered in some liquids that had also spilled on the floor as his body twitched occasionally. He looked around for guards arriving on the scene, finding that there were also two more children lying a few meters away from the subject, their bodies also partly covered by liquids, and motioned to them to take the children back to their quarters as he analyzed the results of the explosion. Most of the equipment was either fried or crushed so he couldn't salvage anything there and left the room as well, beckoning some subordinates to clean up the mess.

The Day After The Explosion

There was a commotion amongst the subjects, so loud that he could hear from his seat at the experiment room he was using after the chaos in the last one. He got up from his seat, moved through the corridors to arrive at the quarters where he saw the reason for the commotion: the dark-skinned child from the previous day's experiment had bolts of lightning surrounding his body, scaring him and the rest of the children while the guards were pointing their guns at him, trying to re-establish order.
