Eventuality

Part 3: Underground

          February 1st 2025: 13:35pm

Aiden wakes up in a room filled with lights aimed directly at him, he can barely see as his eyes hurt and he can feel his head spin, he detects a woman standing in front of him.

Aiden: "Who are you?"

Isabella: "My name is Isabella Moretti, I am the acting president of Apollo's Eye, it was us who knocked you out cold and brought you here, You were sleeping for over 9 days."

Aiden: "And here I thought I was invincible to such things."

Isabella: "Oh yeah, we gave you a 600mg injection of Omnipotenlizine, it's a little medication we brewed specifically for the likes of you, it is sttong enough to sedate 75000 horses at once, I'm actually surprised you survived it."

Aiden rushes towards Isabella for a fatal blow but immediately hits a glass barricade.

Aiden: "FUCK!! I guess you wouldn't easily expose yourself to me like that."

Isabella: "Haha yeah, I value my life in case you didn't know."

Aiden: "Acting president huh? I know for a fact you are just another puppet for Apollo's Eye's higher council, how is such a life treating you?"

Isabella: "Quite well actually, but you have been a naughty little shit lately haven't you? brutalizing Aurora like that, you know that she has it in for you right?"

Aiden: "Good, I'm counting on it, and spare me the fucking lecture about brutality, you've done so much worse, you're just pissed I put your trump card out of comission."

Isabella: "Yeah but i'm not too worried, Aurora will recover in no time, now i'm gonna cut to the chase, what could you possibly want with the Brotherhood of The Almighty?"

Aiden: "Hmm Aurora already told you huh?"

Isabella: "Aurora has been in a medically induced coma because of your ruthlessness, No she didn't say anything, we probed your memory."

Aiden: "Probed my what??!"

Isabella: "Oh yeah we have a little machine here in this lab, similar to an MRI it can project every single thing your eyes saw onto a screen by probing your neural network and your nervous system, it's quite the astonishing invention actually."

Aiden: "Then you saw how I gained my powers?"

Isabella: "Oh yeah, I saw everything, the way absolute strength was handed to you on a silver platter, the way you stayed back and watched your little brother get killed, the way you took countless innocent lives in Spring's End, YEAH I SAW EVERYTHING!"

Aiden: "Okay, then I'll ask you as well, What is the location of the Brotherhood's HQ?"

Isabella: "Hahaha! wow you really think you are in any position to make demands??! you are now my prisoner and I will be the one to ask questions. You see our memory probe can't see dreams, well visions in your case so except the things you already told Noah we don't actually know what you saw, but I am surprised however, How did you find out about Laozi Zhang from just visions?"

Aiden: "Laozi Zhang? All I told Noah was his first name, I didn't know Zhang was his last name."

Isabella: "we spent a lot of money to hide that man from the world, hide his identity and his presidential status inside the Brotherhood's patriarchy, I have to say that seeing you simply come up with that name from just visions kinda pisses me off."

Aiden: "So this Laozi Zhang guy is in charge of the BOTA? good to know."

Isabella: "hmm you are as irritating as it comes, we've been looking for him for years, last we heard of him was when Aurora brought down his little cult, if you know anything about his whereabouts speak NOW!"
