Chapter 156: Incomplete
The amount of liquid that had been in the syringe that the twins had injected into themselves had been small. Honestly, Raven wasn’t sure what exactly it would do, but as a leader of the Grey Elephant gang, he just knew that testing it out on their loyal followers would be a terrible gamble.
If those things worked as Sin had alluded to, he could always use the syringe on himself or someone else later, but first he had to know their effects… especially the side effects.
The twins showed an immediate reaction. The veins around the puncture site started to bulge. Sren and Leng felt as a foreign organism had entered their body and was now crawling through it, changing them by the second.
“What the hell?” Kai wondered as he carefully approached Sren. He had expected them to do something, but both of them just stared at their veins. The blonde teenager carefully approached Sren since he was closer to him.
“Hey, what did you just take?” Kai asked the red haired teenager, but his eyes indicated that he was in a trance or experiencing some kind of psychedelic trip. He was looking up at Kai yet at the same time not registering his presence.
What’s more, the blonde teenager could see that Sren seemed to be burning up. He could even feel the heat coming from his body. Since both of his opponents seemed to be out of it, Kai turned his head, looking at the syringe on the ground.
‘…didn’t I see something like that before? … Could it be… was this the same stuff that strange guy tried to inject Austin with during Gary and Innu’s fight?’ Kai figured the situation out.
“What was in the syringe?!” Kai shouted at Sren once more, who still didn’t react. By now, the veins on the side of his forehead were bulging, and his head had turned slightly red. Without any prior warning, Sren grabbed Kai’s wrist.
The twin was gripping onto it tightly, and the blonde high schooler could feel the other getting stronger by the second. Strangely, Sren still seemed to be out of it, as he titled his head and looked at Kai with enlarged pupils.
“Get off!” Kai demanded, as he used all his strength to kick his captor in the stomach. Fortunately, it did the trick, Sren let go and fell to the ground on his knees, allowing the other teenager to distance himself to figure out the situation.
Slowly getting back up, Sren lifted his head, allowing Kai, and everyone else, to get a closer look at what he was changing into. His eyes had sunken in deep and his sclera had changed from white to black. There was no distinguishing between the pupil and the rest of his eyes.
Sren’s hair was falling out, leaving only the outline of his scalp. For some reason, Sren’s lips were starting to fuse together. However, it wasn’t one solid piece, one could see small gaps in between, allowing him to open and close it, when he did, the inside resembled melted cheese.
‘What was in that liquid…we have to get out of here ASAP! I have an awful feeling.’ Kai worried as he started to back away even more. He turned around, running back to where Innu and Austin were.
“Hey man, what freaky voodoo sh*t do they have going on over there?” Innu asked, though the main thing that scared him was the sudden hair loss. “What if that stuff is infectious? I don’t wanna go bald at my age!”
“Didn’t you see them use injections? Whatever was in it, must have done ‘that’ to them. Probably some enhancement drug gone wrong. Maybe something like a souped up steroid usage?” Austin theorised.
Kai was thinking along the same lines, yet they could see the transformation of the two had finished. It was hard to describe their current outer appearance, but it certainly resembled some monsters out of a nightmare, a hell of a lot more than a human.
The twins’ fingers had slightly elongated, and their nails looked sharp like screws, but were long like pencils, but on their face, and on random parts of their hand there were patches of fur slightly green in colour.
‘Did that injection change them into Altered?’ Kai wondered for a moment, but looking at them, especially at the way they behaved, there had to be something seriously wrong with them. It was almost as if they were incomplete.
“Haha, this is great! Buffin told us that he gave those guys an ace up your sleeve. This must be it!” A grey colour member said with confidence as he approached Sren.
By now, the grey colour gang was down to around a dozen members. Innu and Austin were showing signs of exhaustion, but the remaining colour gang members weren’t too keen on their chances of taking them down. Their best chance was to get the twins to fight them.
The gang member was a bit scared about their changed appearance, but he knew that the two were on their side. If they were as strong as they were ugly, those three intruders would stand no chance.
Alas, the moment he came close enough to the being that used to be the short haired twin, it snapped its head around. The dark, sunken black eyes frightened the gang member, yet before he could escape he could feel some liquid filling in his throat.
He himself didn’t even understand what had happened as the life escaped his eyes, but everyone else saw the grotesque scene. Using his monstrous nails, ‘Sren’ had shoved it into the grey colour gang member’s throat. Blood was dripping down and slowly filling the member’s mouth, and eventually his body was chucked to the side on the floor, laying there dead.
Unfortunately, Sren wasn’t the only one who had changed. Leng looked identical to his twin. He leapt through the air, covering a distance no normal human would be able to cross, and pierced the throat of a different grey colour gang member.
“What the f*ck is going on?!” Innu asked in a panic. “They’re attacking their own side! Sh*t, what do we do, Kai?”
The blonde teenager looked ahead. He wasn’t liking their chances of getting out alive by trying to flee after seeing their leaping power. At the same time, running into the warehouse wasn’t exactly safe either. There should still be more grey colour gang members inside, and it might endanger Marie further.
‘Gary’s there… and if the colour gang members see those monsters, even they should understand that teaming up might be our only chance to take them down!’ Kai made his decision and went ahead to open the warehouse door.
