Symbolic World (Book 1)

Chapter 3 Symbolic War .Part 1

One year after the virus incident, the crew has aged a year, which for Miguel, means he can legally get a job at 16. His job? Photographer. His assignment? Photograph decay. Basically taking pictures of abandoned places that could be worth selling. Unfortunately Miguel has night shift. So guess who has to stay up late? That guy! It's a weekend. Miguel is up late at night taking photos of abandoned warehouses, apartments, etc. He hears a noise coming from an abandoned ancient catholic church. He walks inside and takes different photos, then out of nowhere he sees a stray cat. He takes a picture making it scurry away. He continues to take photos until he hears the cat screetch. He runs to where it screeched, only to see the cat dead on the ground with its stomach sliced open. He freaks out at the sight and turns back until a large creature jumps from above and stops him in his tracks. Miguel falls on his ass and looks up at the creature . It's large and melty. And very dark. With melting white eyes and multiple teeth, and long hair on its head. Miguel transforms into his symbolic form, Crasher. He then faces the beast as it attacks. The 2 begin clashing, Crasher tries his best to survive, but the beast is too dangerous. He is backed into a corner after taking too much damage. As one final desperate attempt, he blasts a huge energy beam at the center of the beast. A hole is formed but it slowly starts to heal, Crasher backs up in despair as he stares through the hole. Until he sees a hand, inside of the hole. A person. Crasher launched in the hole of the beast and pulls the person out. The beast then screams in pain as it slowly disappears into particles, and goes inside the person's wristband. Crasher returns into Miguel, and he looks at the person. It's a female. She has long brown hair, with an old grey sweatshirt, and ripped jeans. She slowly opens her eyes, Miguel asks who she is.

 She says her name is Stephanie, Miguel then looks around. "What was that creature?!" He asks. She then explains when she was a young girl, she was sold into slavery. She was put into a lab where she was tested on and her wristband was always abused. Too many experiments have caused her symbol to become a monster and it takes control of her. Miguel thinks of any possible solution, he then remembers about an ancient machinery that old symbols would use when they are unhappy about the wristbands they were born with. The machine would delete the symbol inside the person, take the wristband and replace it with another. He gets the machine and brings it to the Church, he then tells Stephanie to get in but before she could, her inner beast takes over and lashes at Miguel. Miguel turns into Crasher and the 2 fights once again. The Symbolic Beast is still too much for Crasher, and he is getting pushed back into a corner. He is losing this fight, and he may lose his life to the beast that has been rumored all around Crazone, but then Stephanie begins to fight back against her own beast. Holding herself back and allowing Crasher to counter. Crasher gets up and uses his special ability of tentacles to tie around the beasts legs, and pull it to the floor. The beast falls and Crasher pulls Stephanie out of it again. Stephanie gets back up slowly, and Miguel tries to help her. "I just want to get this over with!" She says. She just wants to get rid of the symbol already, but Miguel says otherwise. He actually encourages her to fight again. He wants her to control the beast and fight him, she hesitates but does. She allows her beast to come out but now she's in control. The 2 then face one last time, this time the beast is no longer there, only Stephanie. After 1 great punch, a shockwave occurs and the 2 are launched seperately. But then Stephanie begins to float, her body glows pink and then to a lighter purple. The beast begins to disappear into nothing. When the light fades, we can see the incredible form which was left behind. The She-Hybrid symbol, one of a kind. The 2 continue to clash, as they each want to finish this battle, She-Hybrid begins to completely dominate against Crasher and knocks him to the floor. She then charges towards the machine, opens it up and stands in front of it, however she begins to hesitate. Miguel then says, "You don't have to do it you know." Stephanie enjoys her new self now so she actually decides to keep her symbol. After everything is cleared up, Miguel invites Stephanie to stay at his apartment, which she accepts. Miguel leaves to go find Hacobe and tell him what had just happened. Miguel walks down the streets, just thinking of what to say. Then we hear a scream coming from afar, a familer voice. Hybrid is flying through the sky and crashes in the middle of the street in front of Miguel, he rushes to Hacobe and asks what just happened. Hacobe weakly says lying on the floor while blood is all over him,"There's an army of them."

-1 day earlier

Hacobe is returning home after running some errands. When he gets back he gets a call from the same mysterious voice from Chapter 2 when the virus was spreading. He answers the call and the voice tells him to meet at the Crazone Arena. He goes to the Arena to see multiple body guards and this old guy in a suit n tie walk up. The man claims to be part of Crazones special government and required a favor from Hacobe. Since Hacobe was able to defeat an entire virus, maybe he could be of use to the government's secret mission. They have been looking at the Crazone dump and have noticed some paranormal activities occurring, and tracked that the Bizar Chaos was originated there, along this the Symbolic King. Hacobe's job is to travel to the dump and find anything that could have caused their creation. Hacobe takes the job and that night he goes. Hacobe has a headworn mic connected to him and he walks through the dump. So far he sees nothing too important, jump dump and trash. Until he sees pillars connecting to the dumps main roof. He goes to the middle and sees a large machine in the center. He walks to the large machine, until he hears a familiar voice call out to him. He looks behind and sees none other than Morin. Hacobe turns into Hybrid and questions Morin's presence. Morin begins to go back when Hybrid first defeated him, and how he couldn't let the world see his face after that. But a recent incident cause Morin to realize that Crazone and symbols are nothing but curses. Recently, Morin's mom was killed in a car accident because she couldn't turn into a symbol while in front of humans. This made Morin realize the rules are pointless and only limit symbols from true power. Hybrid find it stupid how Morin thinks, Morin says otherwise. Hybrid then threatens to fight Morin again! But Morin seems confident in this. But before the fight can start, Morin makes a loud whistle. Then the ground begins to shake. The piles of trash begin to crumble. Then large numbers of Chaos rise up from the garbage and all circle the 2. Hybrid looks all around himself, knowing what's about to come. Then all at once, the Chaos begin to charge and Hybrid each gets multiple punches. It's too much for Hybrid to withstand, then Morin begins to rub and kicks Hybrid all the way to the city. Where he crashes in the middle of the streets and blacks out.
