As Hannah made it through the halls will couple other subjects, the wall next to them exploded open causing them to fall to their sides. One would scream in pain, some others cussing at their pain.
Hannah: Ah.. Get... up.
Hannah rolled over to her belly down and slowly got back up. The moment the smoke cleared out, she could see a dim white light coming towards them.
Hannah: Time Stop!
A black circle would appear on Hannah and quickly expand through out the universe, making all the colors turn to grey and black.
Hannah: That could've gone worse.. and now to get them out.
Hannah slowly dragged as many people as she could. In the end she gathered nine people at a corner. As she turned back to go rescues more, a sharp pain went through her chest. Hannah let out a scream as she fell to the floor. The black and grey universe started to regain it's color as time slowly began to move once more.
Hannah: No.. no.. no no no no..
She would try to get back up but with no success as she fell back down due to the pain in her chest. Then time started to flow once more. Two white bright dots appeared in the darkness as they got bigger with each second. Soon a human figured man came walking out, except that he was a shadow, a human infected with the shadow curse in their Globe, making them like zombies; Feels no pain, has no thoughts, insanity, no memories. However this one was different as it was taller than Hannah and was wearing a vest suit that was white and black. Then two Varujos came right behind him as if they were bodyguards
Varujos are one with the void and an incarnation of shadows. Spreads the shadow curse by touching globes.
The Varujos were as big as the shadow person but wider on their shoulder with no legs. Just floating, their shadows barely touching the ground.
Shadow Person: Well, looks like we have some abandoned people here. Vars, kill them. They are no use to us.
The two Varujos faced the Shadow person for a second and proceeded to brutally ripping apart the bodies on the floor. While the Varujos were busy killing off the abandoned, the Shadow person look over to Hannah. Hannah was shocked to see what happened to them. How quickly with no regrets of killing others.
Shadow Person: Well, looks like you actually have a Globe.
It would walk up to Hannah and kneel next to her.
Shadow Person: What is your ability?
Hannah: I don't even know who the hell you are, so don't go asking random questions.
The shadow person stood back up looking down at her. He'd chuckle.
Shadow Person: Well if you really don't want to tell me that's fine.
He'd turn his back towards Hannah.
Shadow Person: But...
He quickly turn around and kick Hannah in the stomach and send her flying towards the end of the hallway. She soon crashed into the steel wall as it made a huge dent. Hannah painfully screamed as she fell back to the floor, her temple bleeding.
Shadow Person: When I ask a question, it is wise of you to answer it.
The Varujos were done with their job and returned to the Shadow Person's side.
Shadow Person: So, are you going to speak? Or are you going to die here.
Hannah couldn't get up. It felt to her that all her bones were shattered like glass. She started mumbling.
Shadow Person: I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you because of all this screaming!
A guy would on the floor bleeding as he screamed asking for mercy. The shadow person's hands were manifested of shadow but soon took the shape of claws. He impale the guy on the floor as he ripped his muscles apart. The guy scream for a quick second until his body stopped moving. He was dead. The blood stayed on the Shadow person's hands but slowly dropped down.
Hannah: Y-you monster...
Shadow Person: Well I'm not the only monster here! Everyone at this facility are all monsters!
Hannah: What are you saying..
Shadow Person: You really don't know? The people here manipulated children and experimented with their globes to find greater power and you were one of them.
Hannah: What do you mean..? I was born here.. I was raised here!
Hannah put her hands on the floor, pushing herself up slowly. The pain was unbearable but she knew she had to try.
Shadow Person: Memory gaps. Thought that was more common in shadows but apparently they used it on you to erase parts of your memory. How sad.
Hannah stopped for a moment with a shocked look on her face.
Hannah: W-What do you mean..
The Shadow Person's white eyes flowed brighter as he teleported in front of Hannah.
Shadow Person: Let me show you.
He'd put his hand on Hannah's head and made her remember all her past memories; her childhood, her friends, and her family.
