Axis Of Heroes [Book One]

Episode 1: Escape

[Years Later]

[Unknown Location]

Bright, white lights lead down a narrow, snow-white passage. It lead into a room with five middle-aged and old men in long sleeved white jackets and black ties.

"What do we do with him?" one of them questioned.

"I don't know." the other beside him replied, rubbing his long white beard.

They all took a moment of silence with frantic looks, staring at each other, waiting for someone to at least offer a suggestion.

"Many have already escaped. He's the only one left in their..." another said.

"Professor Lewis has already injected him with the "XYZ Suppressor". So even if he wakes up, there's nothing he can do to escape." said one more.

"Yes. How unfortunate that there was only one XYZ Suppressor left." said the first. "Only ten were ever made and so much research was put into them, yet, they were all used in the blink of an eye."

As they spoke, a young man with black hair was laying down. He had several cords attached to his skinny arms, thin legs, face, and torso. Suddenly, deep within his thoughts, blue light moved slowly.

"Wake up...!"

His eyes twitched and several of his fingers moved sluggishly. The blue light in his mind began to move faster and faster. His movements began to become more lively as his cerulean blue eyes opened slowly.

"Wake... UP! Come on!"

What he was hearing inside his mind was a female's voice. An adult female he believed.

"H-huh... Who's talking to me...?" he asked himself.

Suddenly the blue light in his mind vanished and so did the voice. "I must have been dreaming..." he said, rubbing his long black hair. His eyes widened, pupils shrank, and his mouth fell open in shock. He was fully unaware of where he was and he began to panic.

"W-where am I...!" he said, glancing around at the strange, luminous place. He backed up in the bed he was laying on, looking from left to right with each direction having blinking lights.

Without a care about the cords attached to him, he got off the bed. The cords came out of him, causing slight pain. They left obscure red spots on the parts of his body in which the cords were attached to.

He looked around then looked down at himself slowly. He was in even more shock to realize that he was only wearing shorts. Black shorts he believed wasn't even his.

He began to walk to the right of the bed that he was laying in. Little did he know, surveillance cameras were watching his every move.

A drooling, snoring, tired man was eased back in a puffy, black chair. After easing back a BIT too much, he harshly fell off his chair. He got up and looked around as if he had been slapped off of his chair. Upon looking around, he finally realizes that the boy was up and running.

His eyes widened and he pressed his face against the monitor in disbelief.

"No way!" he yelled. "Ah...! I gotta tell the professors!"

Meanwhile inside the strange room, the young man struggled to stand on his own two feet. "Agh... Why am I so dizzy?" he asked himself.

"Professors!" the security guard yelled, rushing into the room. They got up in haste and fright. "The test subject, he's... WALKING!" he yelled.

"What!" They yelled.

"T-this is what I feared most. Send out the combat drones!" another yelled.
