Chapter 8: setting the stage

[Thirty minutes before the war.]

Micha felt empty, his mind was void, and his emotions had left his body.

When his emotions ran out of control or he needed to concentrate, this is what happened. 'Good child' had that kind of power. At its core, the power was designed to provide immunity to mental powers like 'brainwashing' and keep the rampant changes in his mind under control. However, there were times when emotions built up and 'Good child' was unable to regulate, which led to impulsive behavior.

Even though Micha was not afraid, he couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he lost control? When he was overcome by the pent up negativity being held back by 'Good child', what could he do?

He sighed as he returned to the auditorium where he was sitting with his two lady-friends who were kindly talking about nail designs,boy bands and other female oriented topics. People were filling in as they completed the written exam, followed by the physical exam. Fortune marked them while Micha ignored her adamantly as they entered.

He looked down at the slip of paper in his hands. It had his full name, Micha Cervantes Esperonica, his student ID, age, gender and other things such as height and weight from his last physical exam from school. The category that caught his eye was the box that said location with a red box.

He looked at the ladies' cards. Veronica had a purple-ish color on her card, Micha couldn't really tell with the power he was using, while Teka had blue.

"so we're in different areas." Micha sighed, catching Veronica's attention.

"done thinking about your prized stallion?" She teased bringing back Micha's sense of embarrassment, causing him to tense up. "You were!"

"Shut it." Micha groaned embarrassed as he remembered a certain buxom mechanic. "I don't want to talk about her."

"Prized stallion?" Teka asked, wondering if she had competition for her god's affection.

"yup, she's one of Micha's experiments." Veronica whispered with a broad grin before tracing her hands over her voluptuous body "just like me she had her body modified into a supermodel's."

"Not just that." Micha groaned, annoyed that one of his projects had been exposed without his permission. "I also gave her the ability to become a full human." Micha took out his phone and showed a picture of a centaur with white fur growing over her body with a horse head. He then showed other pictures that were clearly measurement pictures, though Teka was clearly focused on the equestrian woman's chest.

She was both shocked and envious of how blessed the woman was even as a mutant.

She was even more surprised by the human appearance of the woman. Her skin was pale like the moon and she had white hair like her god. He then showed more pictures depicting various measurements of her godlike human body. "she's one of many mutants who I've given this ability to." her god explained "but the project isn't fully completed yet."

"Still trying to add to your cult?" Veronica asked mischievously, poking his cheek "I know some people who will join."

Teka sat quietly, mulling over the idea of a cult to worship her deity. These reflections were broken as someone clad in black entered the auditorium. The face and posture of this individual, while obscured by bandages and baggy black clothing, sent the crowd of young men and women into a quiet murmur. As the individual made their way to the podium at the center of the stage they began their speech.

"test, test 123, alright this shit is working? OK, then." they began, reaching to their coat pocket and extracting a small packet of folded papers. "My name is Valdez and I'll be the proctor for the physical exam, though you may know me as the agent 'yog sothoth'."

"Wow, it's true!"

"Can I get an autograph?"

"What does your face look like?"

The introduction, which was delivered in the robotic tone the agent was known for, was followed by a flurry of questions which annoyed the proctor quickly. They scratched the microphone harshly, causing an ear bleeding sound to reverberate within the auditorium that was only magnified by the large area.

As many clutched their ears in pain, Valdez snapped their fingers covering the entire area in darkness. The inky darkness ate the sound alive like ravenous dogs before retracting into their shadow.

"Now, if you can, please direct your eye to the cards that you've been given." Valdez sighed, taking out a proxy 'John Doe' card "the box marked location will determine which place you will be required to take the physical exam." They then pointed at eight lines where tape organized in the colors of the rainbow lay "red moves to red, orange moves to orange that sort of thing but the rules are the same across every area."

Behind them a screen displayed three rules

1- no lethal attacks.

2- stay within the bounds.

3- no sexual actions.

"Make sure to follow these simple rules and you won't have to worry about immediate failure." Valdez sighed, pointing to the screen. "Now for the exam itself."

The rag-covered person looked at the packet, sighing as they compressed the large amount of information down to something more concise and easy to understand. "It will be a point-based exam where you have several situations ranging from hostages to collapsing buildings as ways to earn points. You can also earn points by defeating other participants or subduing the 'psyckers' here."

Before people began asking various questions, there was a murmur among the crowd, but Micha, Teka, and Veronica ignored them as their vigor flowed. At the thought of seeing the power of society's top brass, Micha felt nothing but excitement and greed. The progress Teka has made in the past months was something she wanted to demonstrate to her god. Like Micha, Veronica barely restrained her violent intent, much like a savage wolf.
