Heartless

[Sean]

Deep below the surface of mars, many floors down existed another facility, higher security than the floors above it, heavier doors, all the guards strapped with enough tranqs to level a herd of elephants in one swift move. This was the floor they held there most dangerous Magi, the floor where they where contained in hopes of better using them to there deadly potential.

This was also the floor holding a very special teen, star born alloy cell, light weight but able to withstand a Mecha assault without breaking, but this cell wasn't keeping things from getting in, it was built to keep what was inside contained.

Inside the cell laid a teen, 5'4 very curly black hair, very innocent completion, he laid asleep tossing silently as he dreamed.

"Hey! Wake up, its time." Sean groaned to himself, sitting up on his cot, his eyes cracked open staring at the guard, his crimson ones glazed into the guards light brown through slit. He smirked a little when the guard shivered. "Stop looking at me or you get the gas again, fucking freak." Sean rolled his eyes and rubbed his face, getting up off from his cot. He was shirtless and wearing a Grey pair of sweatpants they gave him, showing off his subtle muscle mass.

Sean reached over and plucked his Grey shirt up from his desk chair, throwing it over his head and covering his front, he returned to his cot and sat down, placing his hands sides as he was taught. Waiting for them to come in and take him away.

Later that day, Sean laid on a bench lifting weights as he had been told, his red eyes staring at the ceiling angrily, his skin shaded red. He didn't know how much weight he was lifting, and honestly he didn't care, all he knew is he was well over 2 tons and he wasn't the least bit tired or strained.

This was his gift, the angrier he was, the stronger he gets. And they knew just how to make him angry. They hopped to control him, to make him a weapon of death and destruction, they trained him in infiltration, stealth, and a variety of fighting styles. There only problem to this day.

Controlling him.

Sean growled as they forced mental images via a psychic in the other room, angry violent images that twisted his mood, making him angry.

Release me...now...we can escape this hell...destroy them, break them...freee me...Eradicate the humans...weaklings...all of them....pathetic sacks of flesh....

Sean leashed his inner beast, ignoring him all together and forcing him back with a snarl.

I will decide that, not you. I'm not a monster.

He heard a laugh in the back of his mind.

Stupid child, I am in control. Let me show you....

Sean growled deeply, his pulse raced faster, skin rippled, and mass increased. He heard people around him scattering, Sean roared out, deep and angrily as he lost control. Throwing the weights across the room like a javelin, impaling one of the doctors against the wall, he let out a chocked gasp, blood seeping out of his mouth and open chest wound, the man jerked slightly and went limp.

A sadistic smile crossed his face as he chuckled, he prowled to the door, rearing his fist back to smash through the door. A voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Sean! Stop it!" he turned to the voice, suddenly gaining control of himself, the beast for some reason releasing his hold on him. The tiny female walked toward him, her thin framed glasses riding low on her nose. Beautiful hazel skin, green eyes, and long curly brown hair dancing with her movements, she stared up at him fearless. Doctor Landra spoke up after a moment

"Sean, why'd you do that? You where making such good progress." she said sternly, he felt himself blush, which for him was a unique shade of pink. His mass slowly returning to normal, Sean had a crush on the young doctor for sometime now. Only listening to her, why she was assigned to him. He looked at the floor and sighed.

"He, took over...again. I'm sorry...I didn't mean to...." he looked away in shame, she stepped closer and gave him a hug, he blushed further. Sean tensed slightly when he felt the needle enter his arm, he knew it was coming, but it caught him by surprise when she pumped the drugs into his system. Sean hit his knee's, he looked up a Doctor Landra, she gave him a gentle smile, he returned it with a innocent smile as he blacked out, eyes rolling back into his head. The strong drugs finally putting him into a dreamless sleep.

[Sean]

Sean woke a couple hours later, he was back in his cell with a killer headache. He cracked his eyes open, he tried to move, but something blocked him, upon further inspection he noticed the clamps over his arms, legs and torso. Massive, silvery and near unbreakable. He laid his head back down and sighed.

What I get. So stupid....

A voice rumbled inside his mind.

Weak metal not hold us back...break it...tear it...free us.

Sean sighed, ignoring his internal monologue. He closed his eyes and stared at the ceiling, thinking deeply.

It would be easy to escape...but where would I go? Earth? My Parents? He scoffed to himself. No, UE would hunt me down, and my parents obviously don't want me...so were do I go?

Sean heard the locks to his room unseal themselves, this is what woke him, its was nearly two days later, he was laying back down on his cot. The teen rose from his bed, sheets floating down to his waist as he balanced himself on his palms behind his back. He blinked several times and noticed a familiar female form. Doctor Landra spoke up before he could question, coming over to him, she knelled down next to him causing him to blush against his will.

"Sean, do you want to escape?" he blinked, stunned at her whispered response. Was he dreaming? She smirked at him after a moment, it was then he noticed normally his two guards lay slumped against walls in the hall, the normal cameras in the corner of his room showed no signs of movement or power.

"Yes...but...were do I go?" she didn't give him time to answer, she smiled at him and handed him a shirt. It was then he realized he wasn't wearing one, he blushed further and threw it over his head.

God stop blushing like virgin...oh wait I am one....

She smiled at him, pulling a pistol out of her pocket, he stared up at her, unsure now of what she was about to do. Upon noticing his reaction she gave his hair a gentle toss.

"Its not for you, its just in case more of them show up." she rolled her head at the obviously dead guards. He nodded, getting off his cot and following the young doctor, she grabbed ahold of his hand and half dragged him, he slightly blushed when she did, she didn't notice so he just followed.

They dodged and weaved through the facility, Sean began to smile as she lead him. I can't believe this is happening...its like a dream come true....

She stopped suddenly and backed up, covering him with her body behind her back. He peaked around her coat and blinked in surprise. In front of the main elevator stood what looked like a small army, complete with 15 soldiers, a small Mecha suit and another scientist smiling evilly.

"And just where do you think your going with Project Heartless, Doctor?" she cursed under her breath, backing them up slowly.

"I can't let you steal another child's life Varson, you took my sons, you won't take this one. To long I've turned a blind eye to your experiments." she glared angrily at her husband. "I won't stand back and help you destroy life. Not again." the man scoffed, waving at her bordly.

"Enough, waste her, don't hit the boy. He's vital." she turned and ran, scooping him up, a barrage of machine gun fire rang out, Landra gasped out as they ducked around the corner. Sean was slammed into the wall, he ignored it, more concerned with the female, he blinked in surprise when he stared at her, she was holding her hand over her stomach, blood smeared her lab coat and her glasses fell to the way side. He scrambled over to her, calling her name, breathing heavily and panicking.

No no no no...

"Sean..." she said weakly, he stared at her, she smiled at him, placing a hand on his cheek, smiling affectionately. "You reminded me so much of my son...I couldn't let him destroy your life too...go sean...be free...they can't stop you..." she coughed. Sean knew she didn't have much time left, his pulse raced higher, skin darkening growing redder by the second. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek weakly, afterward she whispered. "Yo-ur free...Sean--." she blinked, eyes becoming distant. The hand holding his cheek suddenly fell, Doctor Landra died in front of his eyes.

Sean was crying now, his whole body vibrated with rage, his body surged, mass erupting on his tiny frame, he leaned forward and kissed the top of her head, fingers gently closing her eyelids with trembling hands.

"Thank you...." inside his mind, the beast roared out. Breaking the last of his mental restraints. Sean reared his head back and roared. His body trembled, muscles pulsing to life, his mass grew until he reached a towering sever foot eight. Eyes leered down at the men turning the corner.

There fault pretty doctor gone...smash them...break them...tear them apart!

Doctor Varson hissed, finally gulping. "Switch to tranq's, I want him alive, he's no good to me dead." Sean growled low, he reared his head back and roared in the soldiers faces, most of them toppled over from the sheer power of his roar, near primal in sound.

Project Heartless stomped on two of the soldier trying to recover, they screamed as he crunched through bones of there chests, wasting little time he picked up one of them and tossed him at his comrades. A barrage of tranquillizers tried to pierce his skin, the bounced off, this caused him to chuckle evilly.

"Puny humans...your toys don't work on me." he growled again and charged down the hall, slapping aside soldiers, punching, kicking away at them like gnats. Before long he was towering over Doc. Varson, he was curled up in a corner, trying to hide himself for him. He sneered. Pathetic. He plucked him off the ground with two fingers, holding him limply in front of his face. The man stared into his eyes, his own bulging slightly, the man radiated fear. He could almost...smell it. Strangely enough.

"Pl-please...we where just trying to, sho show shoow you how to use your abilities to there fullest. We meant you no harm." Sean moved him closer to him, and snarled, teeth baring at the man.

"Liar. Die." with that Sean wrapped his hands around the mans body and squeezed, he screamed out as his bones crushed, he went limp moments later. The giant tossed the man away, letting him crash to the floor with a amusing 'plop'.

The red skinned teen suddenly dodged upon remembering the Mecha, it opened fired upon him, he charged the opposite end of the corridor, the machine gun bullets traced a path along the facility, following him close behind. Heartless growled further and increased his pace, out running the Mecha's rate of fire and pulling ahead, he rounded the corner and charged the machine, he watched the pilots eyes go wide as his fist came up. The force of his punch knocked the large machine off its feet, sparks flew as the cockpit caved in, toppled over and slid a good 30 feet.

Satisfied the teen roared out another primal roar, it echoed through the building, this only caused him to smirk as he powered up the elevator. The machine jerked slightly as he headed up, the teen paced the inside, not wanting to calm down just yet, replaying the images of Doctor Landra's death through his mind to keep himself angry.

He smiled...someone Else's smile.
