Releasing Kasper’s hand from your sleeve you slowly walked towards the boy.

“Get back here you crazy girl!” Kasper wanted to reach out to you so badly but his body just would not seem to listen to him.

The more you looked at him, the more you seem to be drawn towards him. It was as if he was calling out to you. Blackhole who was now in range, wrapped himself desperately around your leg trying to stop you. But the distance between you and the mysterious boy was just within an arm reach, his beautiful red eyes was so mesmerizing to you. Unknowingly you reached out towards him, placing your hand on the glass. In turn, the boy did the same thing. Both of you seem to be trying to take everything in, looking for the answer beyond the unknown.

He gasped a few times letting out tiny bubbles, expecting a reaction but you just stared at him blankly… Frustrated he slammed the glass, frightening all of you. Kasper dropped onto the floor and started chanting some incoherent sentence. The boy started opening his mouth again but only this time slower. Finally grasping the situation, you instinctively copied what he was mouthing to you.

I          am               so        glad     that              you     are         alive …       I        miss             you

“Now what is that supposed to mean? Do you know him!? What are you hiding from us?! What the hell is going on Cyclone?!?!?” Blackhole who was still hugging your leg let out a confused cry. However, you too were confused by what he was talking about. Before you could ask what he meant, the security siren started blaring through the whole lab. It was like as if Kasper as been awaken, he dashed at lightning speed pulling the both of you away from him into this backdoor that just opened.

In the distance, you saw the smile that seemed to be crushing you instead. Will this be the last time you would be able to see him? What exactly does he mean by he is so glad that I am alive? Why does he feel so awfully familiar? So many questions rushing into your head when you slammed hard into Blackhole’s back bringing you back to your senses.

“Wha….?—” “Ow—-”

“HOLY MOTHER OF KRISPY DONUTS!”

Kasper suddenly stopped infront of another door causing both you and Blackhole to collide into each other. You peeped from behind trying to see what is causing the commotion. It was like the whole city was displayed infront of you. The darkroom was filled with countless of TV screens everywhere even the offices of the scientists which was supposedly off limit to non subjects. There in the middle of them all you saw the screen with the boy… Whoever did this is definitely someone that can answer your questions.

You pushed through the both of them tumbling into the room. There to your right was someone anticipating all of you. The faceless figure seems to be mocking you with his mask. That wide spread smile across the mask with the slit eyes… It tapped its finger on the table as if waiting for you to start first. Kasper who seemed to be fed up by all this exploded.

“Who–Who are you? We are not to be pushed aroun—- Agh”

You jabbed Kasper with your elbow to shut him up, the situation seemed to be getting quite out of hand. A creepy laughter escaped from behind the mask followed by him slowly rising from his chair. His hand slowly reached out for his mask revealing…

“WHY ARE YOU HERE?! WEREN’T YOUR IN THAT TANK!?”

Blackhole seemed to have lost it too, even though what you are seeing infront of you really got you questioning. The person standing infront looks exactly like him… Suddenly, the boy excitedly announced.

            I        am        your     savior

“KASPER!!!!!!!” the whole basement echoed with his name, Kasper and Blackhole flinched at the loudness. You started lashing out on Kasper for scaring you and following both of you down here. Blackhole turned to glare at him before continuing to examine the body in front of him. He was really intrigued by the scaly body but when he got to the boy’s face, he realised the boy was looking straight at him. Blackhole stumbled backwards catching both of you off guard.

“He— he….” Blackhole stammered trying to get the words out of him.

Following his finger, you look up to see the boy now looking at you. His glowing red eyes seems to be searching for something from you. However, you got to say seeing Blackhole this frightened was an interesting sight to see. The strongest specimen on the island is actually afraid of this boy. However, there is just something so ever familiar to you about the boy.

“Well, well, well, what the chances of actually being able to see a living urban legend right?” Kasper joked. You were surprised by his shaking hand that was tugging on your sleeves. Looking up to Kasper, you see him trying not to make a break for it.

Being able to tell the strength of your enemy is one of the first skill we are required to learn from our classes. The fact that both of them have such a huge reaction to him

As a special class, it has never been easy. It was not until a few weeks after we have settled down, they decided to implement the rules for the special classes. They did not have special classes at the beginning since the scientist was unsure of the growth they could get from us students. Supposedly the scientist only implemented the rules for their own interest. However, there are others who said that it was because of a huge incident that happened which forced the scientist into setting up the eyes.

A post by an anonymous one day suddenly blew up in the school forum. It was an incident that led to many stories being passed around and one of them circles around this beautiful dragon boy.

It started with a rumor going around about a group that had infiltrated the island to obtain someone. It is said that the scientist have already been working at this island for quite sometime. It was until recently that they have released it publicly and asked for “volunteers”. Noone knew exactly why did the scientist decided to announce it after having to kept it as a top secret project.

It continues on saying that it maybe a probability that they have already succeeded in perfecting the formula and is now trying to rebuild something or even revive someone they have discovered. We have only been able to hear stories about people born with real power but none has ever seen an actual being. The scientist may have found those with real power and is trying to replicate them, leading to the need to get us “volunteers”.

The dragon boy was just one of the rare finds by the scientist on this island before the city was established. As you are reading this, they could be trying to bring them one of his suppressor. This so-called dragon boy was said to have such an explosive power that he loses control from time to time. However, it was only by chance that they managed found out that someone was able to tame his power.

When they found him, there was a torn up body beside him. The scientist brought it back to the lab hopefully to look into it later. Little did they know that whenever the boy loses control the body would start to glow, as if reacting to his power. They started doing more test on him hoping to find out more ways to control and perfect him.

Nobody know why her body was so torn up when they found it. Due to the lack of medical resources then they could not restore the body, so they took the DNA and injected into one of the students.
