I Now Realize

Chapter 16: Stage Two; One By One (part 3 out of 9)

With Astoroth...
He was walking with his ally, Xaver, through the training section, observing the base members who are now Blooders.
"So they really follow your command?" Xaver made a curiosity look on his face.
Astoroth nodded and smirked. "They have my blood. I can control them by blood."
Xaver's eye glinted and dropped his mouth from what he was figuring out. "You didn't!"
"Oh, but I did." Astoroth chuckled and lowered his gaze. "I created the chemical with my blood."
"Astoroth," Xaver grinned in a mischievous way. "This is the most priceless plan you've ever came up with."
"Thank you," Astoroth made a smug smirk. "But I'm not done yet."
"Do they have weaknesses?" Xaver wondered.
"I'm not sure, yet. I doubt that." Astoroth tilted his head and shrugged.
"Can you show me what they can do?" Xaver was eager to know.
"Fine, brother. You seem to be in a rush." Astoroth whistled to the base members in the training section.
The base members immediately stopped what they were doing, waiting for his command like a pack of trained dogs.
Astoroth pointed at a twenty year old man and gestured him to approach in the center of the room, which was shaped like a triangle.
The man remained emotionless as he approached to the center and stood, waiting for the next command.
Astoroth stomped where he stood, making a crater on the metallic floor and a big chunk of metal jump from the floor.
"Encounter!" Astoroth commanded as he kicked the chunk of metal towards the man.
It only took a punch from the man to break the chunk of metal in half instead of just a dent.
"Interesting..." Xaver couldn't stop staring at the results. "They'll be perfect weapons."
"And will get rid of my main targets..." Astoroth evilly smirked.

With Alue...
In the research section, The scientists did try to analyze one of the Blooders. So far, it went just fine if wasn't for the razor teeth trying to bite several jugular veins and panic exhaling the air.
"Can anyone bring tranquilizers?!" Alue pinned the beast on the white metallic floor, to keep it from attacking anyone. "I don't want people getting their heads ripped off!!"
"I'm working on it!!" Jake loaded the tranquilizer gun and shot the Blooder five times.
But the Blooder tried to resist the side effects and started slashing its sharp, ragged claws while screeching. It then slammed itself onto the walls, denting them by a foot deep.
"Don't do near the Blooder, Alue!" Jake warned, looking worried as the scientists went behind him for protection.
"Don't worry Jake, this Blooder doesn't scare me and you know me very well." Alue ran towards the Blooder and ran up the wall and threw herself on the Blooder's back, making it fall.
The Blooder reacted by making a ear piercing screech and clawed Alue by the side. Alue didn't even scream, but Jake wanted to help her, but Alue already knew what he was thinking and gestured him to not get involved.
The Blooder slowly passed out and Alue jumped off its back.
"You ok?" One of the scientists and Jake asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just a few scratches." Alue shrugged it off and gently dragged the Blooder on a large square in the center of the room.
But everyone heard a loud 'bang' in one of the cages...
"Guys?" Alue caught everyone's attention. "Go to the concrete room. No one should leave the room.
"Are you crazy?!" Jake widened his eyes.
"Please, Jake. I know what I'm doing." Alue assured. "Now, all. Of you go to that concrete room and observe! No questions!" Jake quickly locked the doors and everyone sprinted to the concrete room.
They all saw the Blooder slowly approach Alue, ready to maul her.
Jake had a very bad feeling about this. He had the urge to fight along Alue's side. But he also didn't want to make a reckless move. For now, he could only watch.
The Blooder and Alue slowly walked in circles, both waiting for the other to attack.
Alum slowly pulled out a black blade and slowly aimed it at the Blooder. With all force, she threw it at the Blooder's front leg.
The Blooder snarled and sprinted towards her. It was about to bite her at the right shoulder.
Alue caught the Blooder by the jaw! She didn't even have to use much strength to open its jaw while the Blooder struggled.
"Oh, my God!" One of the scientists exclaimed in shock while the others observed in the concrete room.
Jake couldn't answer. He was also in shock, too. At this moment, he didn't know what he should feel.
Then they saw a scene that looked bone crushing! The majority of the scientists in the room screamed in horror when the Blooder bit Alue at the shoulder...
