The beast calmed down, but more medium-sized beasts and some deformed ones surrounded me as they fought against the monsters with sharp claws...I HAVE TO GET TO WHERE KRYPTO IS AND HELP HIM, I HAVE TO GET HIM OUT OF HERE, even though he is weak I still hear his forced breathing and how his heart although slow still clings to keep beating.

I want to get out of here with Krypto and form a good life, I have to try harder, I have to get to him no matter what.

My body starts to respond a little more now, I don't know if it's anger or my survival instinct that pushes me to move despite everything that has happened but I feel how my body increases its strength, and my whole body burns.

Already standing I can see better the panorama around me, and although it's hard to take steps I know I can reach Krypto now... my skin bristles suddenly and I feel a look with a strong presence again, I look up and the giant beast is looking at me, its pupils are dilated, it's heading towards me again with the same intensity as a moment ago when it hit krypto.

Although this time I don't feel frightened, no even if it's little I know I can move at a moderately standard speed, besides if the files I read are correct I should have more stamina, my body burns more and more eager to want to hit that thing, it sounds stupid to hit something that's practically even bigger than an average country house.

-Finish it off, show them what we're made of!

A voice echoes in my head, what the fuck was that, My body now doesn't react to my thoughts, what is this, I feel like I'm moving on my own, now my steps are firmer, and the floor cracks with some of my steps, now my heart and breathing go as fast as if they Just want to finish the monster, I feel the anxiety of wanting to hit it even more, but this feeling is not only mine, there's something else.

I try to retake control but it's as if a wall is holding me back, it's not easy, my body now feels cold, the temperature change is swift, and I feel my muscles contracting ready to receive the impact of that giant beast.

I have to get to Krypto, if I can get there and get out of here I can take him to a vet or at least to a safe place, although I don't know what some vets would do to see a dog alive after something that was going faster and twice the size of a truck ran over it, besides it's a dog that flies... shit I don't have to think about that, I will find someone to help him, that's the only thing that matters now, that's the only thing that drives me to keep going towards that big beast.

I feel now that I'm taking control, I'm not afraid and my body reacts better, I don't know what happened that I had no control over my body a few moments ago but now... I feel like I can do anything, I will do anything to protect and save Krypto, he is the only thing I have now and he has done more than anyone in my past life for me.

I will end this shit NOW, but I will not let Krypto die here after what he has done for me, my feet getting faster and faster I am running at my maximum speed in my current state against that beast if the files say I have special abilities it's time for them to come out.

I won't be afraid anymore, I will face this and whatever, even if my fists bleed and my legs can't take it anymore, I will fight this time, for the first time giving it all.

As I move forward I feel how my muscles get stronger, I feel unstoppable, if I have enough momentum a direct hit may have some effect, but I have to use my whole body so that the blow is more powerful.

When I'm a few meters away I jump straight towards the beast, this is the moment when this new life will begin or end, so it's time to break bones.

As I make the jump, I close my fist and use my whole body to propel the blow more in the air, I feel how everything goes in slow motion, the beast tries to slow down But it's too late it's now time to end this.

“DIE DAMN BEAST!”

My fist hit its head making the beast stop dead in its tracks and propel itself backward and its body went back a few meters, falling to the ground, I know I haven't killed it, but it still moved and tried to get up, my body burns with rage, I don't know how or why I can do all this, my body a moment ago was not reacting and also is free the voice in my head a moment ago, although now I have more doubts than before is not the time to think about them, I have to get out of here with Krypto now that I can move much better.

The fast guy took Krypto in his arms and carried him and the other body to the elevator Krypto was still breathing hard, I could still see him relatively far, and his heartbeat was weak, but he was still alive, which reassured me a little.

The fast guy so far doesn't seem like a bad person, I manage to get to them and the guy keeps looking at me surprised by what just happened.

“Wow man, you have incredible strength despite your body, a moment ago I thought you couldn't even run”.-says the fast guy

He didn't answer anything, I just checked if Krypto had any fractures in his body, or if he was bleeding...incredibly his body seems intact, I'm going to try to start the elevator, to get out of here.

Or so I thought but the quick guy stops me before I hit a button on the elevator panel.

“Sorry bro, we can't leave yet, we are still missing my friends, they are on their way just give me a moment I have to help them open the way so they can get here and we can all go.” -says the fast guy

The boy changes his expression and stands in front of everyone adjusting his glasses and a small smile can be seen on his face.

I hadn't noticed but some monsters and deformed were running straight toward us, I couldn't let them get to Krypto, besides this guy helped me get him to the elevator.

“Hang in there a little longer Krypto, we'll get out of this.”

I stand up again, and I look at my hands, I feel stronger, and the anger has gone down, but I still feel my body cold, now I feel like I control this body a little better, even though I still don't know what qualities it has, but now is not the time, I just know that I won't let them hurt Krypton anymore, I will protect him as he did me.

The fast guy and I get on guard ready to protect Krypto and the man lying on the ground, we jump into the fight, and the guy disappears in a second from my side and appears in front of me giving a direct punch to one of the monsters, I try to keep the distance by shooting them and the closer ones I hit them with my fists, the power of my fists is much less than before, and it is more so with the deformed ones, it's like they are more resistant, still, my strength is nothing normal compared to an average human being.

The fast guy takes care of the monsters, while I fight with the deformed ones. Although from time to time some of them pass us and we change targets, although the small monsters don't usually attack me, it's as if they fear me, suddenly because of what I did to the biggest of them.

"Boy watch out!"- says the fast guy

Shit, I got careless, a deformed is next to me, and it won't give me time to push it away or hit it, one of the medium monsters rushed towards one of the deformed ones I was going to shoot, its big claws opened the deformed's stomach making its organs come out and fall to the ground.

Its eyes turned to me, they had intense red eyes, I put myself on guard ready to spend the last bullets of the magazine on that creature, its gaze instantly changed direction and it ran to its next victim at full speed in the direction of the other defectives.

They are ferocious creatures, the first time I saw them during the attack was when I was with Krypto in hiding, I saw how they disemboweled and killed many armed soldiers, I still can't let my guard down, though.... His look... was different...

“ Hey bro don't get distracted I need you.” -says the fast guy

Shit, it's hard to fight like this when you haven't fought anyone in your life, and with this amount of enemies, they are cornering me, some have more strength than others, while others are faster, I can't identify at a glance which is which, but from the blows received I can deduce it.

“Watch out kid on your right!”.

Shit at what moment had one of them positioned himself behind my back, the deformed threw himself on me, by instinct only reached to raise my arms to protect me, but it was to take a step back and a loud growl did not take long to sound, it sounded so loud that it seemed that the battle zone was silent after the roar, when I least expected it a lot of blood shot out.

Finally, the body of the deformed man falls, he looks up... and right next to the inert body... is Krypto... with the deformed man's head in his mouth as if it were a ball to play with.

Krypto woke up!...and it looked like nothing happened to him, he even showed it off by spinning around in circles to make me realize that he is now better and can fight.

His decisive look gives me to understanding that he'll have my back if I have his, so Krypto joins us and the fight becomes a little more even, although there are still too many of them, how long will it take the fast guy's friends?

This place won't take long to collapse either, I just heard a big explosion in the position where the giant beast was, and some lighter and more agile steps are heard, it doesn't seem to be one of the enemies we are fighting against, will it be other different monsters, no, this is different... it's a person, it must be this guy's friend...
