Chapter Two

Meanwhile, the US government was taking a visit at Liggins Incorporated, checking out their latest upgraded weapons. Lucious and his scientist assistant, Dr Knight were auctioning off their weapons to the army, hoping soldiers would use it for combat. "We were hoping that you could check out our new updated jet packs made out of clear titanium." Dr Knight explained. General Byers scoffs. "I already seen the jet packs! That's not what I'm here for." General Byers told Dr Knight.

Lucious suddenly saw all his board of directors walk in the lab, meaning business. One of his board of directors, Josh MacFarlane walked in to check on the experiments. "I want to see the progress report on the Grim Enhancers. Said Josh. "We tried defense protocols on hamster subjects. It showed 900% percent on increase strength." Explained Dr Knight.

"Excellent." Added General Byers.

"There's....just one problem." Said Dr Knight. "There was side effects..."

"Side effects?" Lucious asked as he did not know about this.

"What were the side effects?" Asked Josh.

"Violence, insanity.....and PTSD." Dr Knight admitted. "We have no choice but to use human subjects." Lucious didn't like the sound of this. "Human subjects?" Lucious said as he pulled Dr Knight to the side. "Dr Liggins." Josh Said as he gazed at all the caged hamsters. "I'm gonna lay it all out there. I never supported your program at Liggins Inc. What you're doing is a waste of time. Trust me, our troops aren't gonna need your rinky dinky experiments." Josh smirked as he walked out of the science lab, Lucious staring at him.

Meanwhile, Huey stumbled back to his house, where his grandparents were there to greet him. "About time you got home. Your grandma and I were getting worried." Grandpa Curtis said. Huey was feeling woozy as he stumbled everywhere. His cut from the asteroid was looking more and more sore.

Huey went in the kitchen and ate some leftover collar greens from the fridge strangely. "Something just doesn't seem right with him today." Grandma Gail Said. "Teenagers. I'll talk to him." Grandpa Curtis Said as he followed Huey upstairs. Huey brought the whole pot of greens to his room, feeling light headed as he laid down. "Rough day, huh?" Grandpa Curtis Said as he knocked at the door. "Well, I won't lie to you. Puberty is a difficult time in a young man's life." Huey gave Curtis a puzzled look. What was he talking about? "Ahh, the rituals of manhood." Grandpa Curtis Said as he pat Huey on his back. "Tomorrow morning, I'll give you some hash browns and beer. Then later, Grandma Gail is gonna take you to the Baptist church to get you baptized."

As Grandpa Curtis got up to leave, Huey began to toss and turn in his sleep. The nuclear energy of the asteroid was going to his head.
