Seven Phantom Ghosts: Book 1

Chapter Six

Ten years ago - April 5th - 0653 - Unknown facility

    Explosions rippled through the air as new recruits entered the training grounds confused, but determined. The moment the first couple of recruits stepped foot within the boundaries of the training grounds, they were killed instantly and their bodies dropped to the ground with a thud. After seeing the bodies, some of the kids were trying to run away from where they were as to not join their friends' fate, but not even they were kindly sparred that fate. It was only the ones who remained still after getting off the bus that were not attacked in anyway by the ones who were already training.

    A woman came from one of the nearby facilities and saw the children and smiled as she approached them, "Hello there, what can I do for you children?"

    The driver that brought them leaned out the window and told the lady, "These are the new batch of kids that the Boss wants trained. If you ask me, they seem to be getting smaller and younger."

     "There's a reason to it all, but they don't need to know that." Referring to the children. She took them within the building that she was just in and sat each one of them in front of a screen and attached wires and medical supplements to their bodies and turned on the monitors to a blank screen, "What we're about to show you isn't for the faint hearted. If you have a weak stomach, let me know now, and I'll help you." She saw a child raise their hand and she personally shot the child immediately in the forehead, the holstered her revolver and asked, "Anyone else?" Even after just gunning down a child, she still had the appearance of a loving mother.

     No other hands went into the air.

     "Good. Now, have fun." She walked into another room and closed the door.

    A few minutes later, all of the screens winked to life to show people dying every way possible, and the screams were blood chortling and made most of the kids want to look away, but the moment one child did, they were also killed, so all the kids who were about to turn their heads looked back at their screens and watched people die the most painful and twisted way for three straight hours. When the videos stopped and they were released from their chairs, five more kids had died from practically committing suicide by looking away from their screen.

    The woman came out of the room and silently made a head count of how many children she had left: Out of the thirty kids that originally arrived, she was now down to fifteen from when they had the scare when they first showed up to the three hour screening that they got through. She sighed at the disappointed results so far.

                     At this rate none of these kids are going to live through the rest of the day.

    She gathered the kids together and looked at the data she got of all the kids brain activity of how they reacted towards the images, gathering as much data as she could to take a wild guess of who just might survive this entire program...or at least for the rest of the day.

    One kid was looking around when he saw another kid much younger than him starting to get picked on by one of the others, but before he was able to do anything, the kids were separated by the woman and he was taken away. But a minute later, the same had happened to him and the two of them were brought into a room separated from the others and sat there waiting.

PRESENT – 1031 – TOKYO GENERAL HOSPITAL -

     Alison woke up in a hospital and realized that this time she wasn't in the school nurses office, but was in an actual hospital and she was being greeted by a rather attractive nurse checking her vitals and was rather confused with the situation of why she was actually in the hospital. She stopped her nurse before she left, "Excuse me, the last thing I remember was being in the nurse's office at my school. Why am I in an actual hospital? What happened?"
