Red X.

Chapter 22- A forzen heart.

—Mel would have a bag draped over his head. The bag tightly wrapped around, barely being able to breathe, he was being dragged by the ankle. Weak, tired, and wounded. He wouldn't even have the energy to try and fight back, his eyes flickering gold before shutting back down.

Suddenly, he was launched into a cell. He grunted as he slowly took the bag off. A skull bandana was now draped around his nose, covering down to his jaw.

"Couldn't let them see your face... least I could do."

Anti X grinned. Slamming the cell door shut, he looked at Mel. Folding his arms.

"So the famous Red X.. trapped in a cell. I've heard the tales.. isn't it crazy how you're only back up. Is all the way in maple?!"

Mel gritted his teeth. Slowly getting up, dragging his boots towards the cell gate.

"I'll fucking kill you myself.."

"Mm mm.. no you won't. You already tried.. we both saw how that turned out."

"Shut up.."

"Someone mad..?"

"I said."

Mels eyes suddenly roared golden, shooing his arm through the cell crack. Cupping anti x by the throat and yanking him into the cell. Anti X's face clashed with the bar's as Mels eyes went away.

"Shut up.."

Anti X would pull away. He looked at Mel, he was beyond furious.

"Why do you have that fucking ability.."

"What..?"

"You—"

"ALEX!"

Anti X suddenly froze, the sound of his name made him freeze. He knew exactly who it was, he turned his head.

A rather large, strong male with broad shoulders began storming towards Alex. Alex placed his arms behind his back. Nodding his head.

"Yes father."

The male walked over. Looking at the cell, he smiled brightly as he laughed. He was wearing a white Tank top, dark jeans and black tims. He patted his son's shoulder.

"You fucking did it.. you actually got the fucker."

"You trained me."

Alex grinned, folding his arms against his chest. Looking at Mel. Mel looked at both of them, his eyes filled with nothing but hate.

"So you're the chain leader.. such a shit ass name."

"Watch your tone boy.."

"Or what..."

The male looked at Mel, grinning. He whistled as guards came over, one guard holding a weird looking gun.

"Fire."

Mels eyes widened, the guard shot at Mel. A tranquilizer tip shooting out the barrel. It slammed into Mels chest. Mel gasped out, yanking it out his neck. He began to stagger, his vision getting sloppy, the world around him began to spin.

"He's fighting it.."

Mel fell on both his knees. His mental strength trying his best to keep him standing, his eyes felt heavy. His body felt weak as he growled.

"Another one.."

The guard nodded his head. Shooting four more rounds into Mel. Mel fell face first, everything going black, the last thing audible— distorted laugher.

The guards opened Mels cell. Alex stepped forward, grabbing Mel and lifting him up; placing him over his shoulders as his father nodded. His father began to walk down the hallway. They were taking Mel somewhere.

Eventually, after some time. They made it to a lab. Laying Mel on the table. The leader went to take off his mask, yet, Alex stopped him.

"Keep the mask on..."

Alex looked at his father, his father nodding his head in approval. Stepping back a few feet. A doctor came walking over towards Mel, checking his pulse.

"Are you sure about this?"

The doctor looked over at the leader. The leader nodded his head.

"Do it.."

The doctor sighed, looking at Mel and frowning. In his heart he knew it was wrong, the leader and Alex walked out.

The doctor began operating.  Nano tech.

Nano tech wear, that's what was happening. The nano tech were able to break down and regenerate Mels cells. The nano tech also attacked the brain, basic controls for Mel. Such as moving, fighting, talking, and running.
Gone. With this.. he was nothing more but a vessel. A vessel of pure destruction and chaos.

However, even through all that. The doctor couldn't bring himself to leave Mel stranded.

The heart. A specific spot was created, if the spot was destroyed. The tech would stop destroying cells and taking control. Instead, it would work with Mel. Helping his body.

Hours went by.. the operation was done. The doctor stepped back. The leader walking in, arching his brow as he folded his arms.

"Successful..?"

"Mhm."

The doctor went towards his desk, grabbing an old tablet. Hooking it into his computer, transferring all the data into it. He handed the tablet towards the leader.

"Good.."

Mel would slowly come to. Grunting as his body was sore, he looked over at the leader. His teeth gritted.

"You're mine.."

Mel growled, his eyes roared golden as he rushed at him. However, one tap. That's all it took.. one tap on a tablet and Mel suddenly stopped.

"What...what the fuck?!"

"..god stevens you're so fucking smart.."

The doctor walked out.

"What did you do?!"

Mel kept trying to move his body. However, he couldn't. His golden eyes going away as he kept fighting.

"You're my little solider.. that's what I did."

"I'll fucking kill you."

"Yenno.. I'm sick of hearing your disrespectful ass mouth.."

The leader grinned. Tapping another button, suddenly. Mel was mute. He couldn't speak, he couldn't fight back. But he could see it all.

"Now this..this just got interesting.."
