SUPERBOY: THE STORY OF A NEW HERO
CHAPTER 9: AN IMPORTANT DECISION

CHAPTER 9: AN IMPORTANT DECISION

The small beings Almost looked like a brood of the others, these creatures were on the shoulders and horns of many of the monsters, Their horns glowed with a reddish hue.

As I look back all my companions fall to the ground, all fell asleep, all but me, although my body feels heavier and exhausted, but I am still aware of everything.

The horns of that humanoid glowed and just then that same voice sounded again, with soft and peaceful tones, that voice that was giving me directions to get here.

-Hello brother, calm down.

“IT WAS YOU THAT WAS IN MY HEAD!”

-That's right my brother, don't get upset, I'm not looking to hurt you, we are looking for your welfare.

“Shut up you little shitty boy” - shouts someone in the background.

A scientist comes out among the monsters and starts talking to me arrogantly and dominantly.

-Try not to try harder than you have to, brother, trust me!

“Get out of my head, who are you people, get off me!”

“I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP MOCOSO, you will come with us, you will not leave this place so easily, remember what happens when you disobey"- shouts the scientist again.

A strong pain arises in my head and some blurred images become more and more visible in my mind... that man beat me with a whip, and gave me very powerful electric shocks... But I didn't live that, what are those memories?

-I will kill them all...” a fleeting voice sounds.

Now I find myself in a dark place, there is no end, this is real, I still can't move, suddenly I begin to hear someone crying in the silence of the darkness... it is a child, I managed to see a child huddled crying, he is no more than 8 years old because of his size...

“Hey brat, are you listening to me, react"- the scientist shouts at me.

A punch hits me in the right side of my face, although it didn't hurt it took me out of the place where I was, now I'm back in the room surrounded by monsters, I was only dreaming.

And That Boy.....

“Well now tell one of your ugly creatures to put him to sleep and take him in charge” - says the scientist.

-Maybe for the sake of all genomorphs, our brother SUPERBOY should decide for himself.

“What are you doing, get out of my head, you piece of shit, I'm giving you an order” - the scientist expresses in an altered state.

-Don't let him leave.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Three beasts attacked the scientist and left him on the ground so he couldn't do anything, what's going on? They were not allies?

“I knew it we couldn't trust you shit beasts, you caused this on purpose!!!” -the scientist expresses angrily.

-That's right, I lit the fire and started the flames in different areas of the complex, although I'm not proud to say that many of my brothers died fighting against those defective clones.

“You damn you, you know better than anyone how important this boy is now, he is what will give way to evolution” -the scientist expresses angrily.

Evolution or revolution, our brother is not a weapon which you control, he will make his decision to go with us or not, free the boy brother-” -the scientist says angrily.

What's going on? What's all this?...it's getting weirder and weirder, I can move now.

I don't feel any threat apart from him or the other monsters, the environment changed drastically to how it was a few moments ago when we were running from everything...

-Well brother, what do you want to do now?

“You led me here, why did you help me?”

-Because you are our hope SUPERBOY, the genomorphic hero, you will show a way for all of us to freedom, so guide these guys to find you and help you to get out, now it is your turn to make a decision, what is your choice brother?

“You are no one to make a decision you piece of shit, let go of me.”

-silence-

I am surrounded by amazing creatures, that are scary, I am talking to a being through my mind, I am seeing how they subdue a person, and I have seen dead bodies, people, and animals with powers, I am in another body and besides I also have new abilities, and now I am the hero of a species called genomorphs?, I do not know what to answer or say, in my previous life I was an ordinary human, first of all, I do not know what I do in this place, I do not know what this body is and secondly why this creature treats me so kindly, a moment ago they were killing a lot of scientists.

-I understand your indecision brother, you have doubts about what you are, I tried to review your memories But it seems that there is a blockage, I apologize for that, it must have been at the moment when everything started, suddenly the blackout caused irregularities in your capsule, so I will explain it to you... You are a clone created from the DNA of the greatest hero in history the hero known as Superman and the most powerful man in a metropolis city known as Lex Luthor, their DNA was merged to create you, you are the success of our experiment-...

“...”

-the other clones or as you call them DEFORMES are defects from our research, you are meant to be great and live a life where you can be who you decide to be, helping people in need, bringing a promising future for all of us, but if you decide to stay, they will take control of you, some soldiers and scientists are headed this way, the defects will be exterminated as they are of no great use, so that will give you a little time-

“but...”

The gunshots although heard far away, sound closer and closer.

-There is almost no time left, besides... you still have many doubts for which I have no answer and they are out there, but you are the only one who is free to make that decision, so what is your choice SUPERBOY?

Superman, heroes, powers, people with strange costumes, monsters or unknown beings with intelligence of their own, this world is crazy, it's literally like being inside a fucking superhero comic book, it's the dream of every superhero-loving kid, but why me, why was I chosen to be in this world, although now I have an idea of what I am, I have no answer how I got here...many things remain unresolved, I can't stay here in a facility being a victim of experiments.

FREEDOM!!! - a voice is heard in the background.

That voice again, is not the same as this being's, this one is different, it is full of hate and rancor...I will find the answers later, it will be best to make this decision now.

“I'm not going to lie, I don't know what you are or what you want from me, there are many things I want to know, But for now there's only one left to get out of here soon, so... I choose freedom because I'll find the answers to all of this”

-... you have matured, I like this version of you, you made a good decision brother, the time has come to leave-”.

The horns of the little beasts light up again and the boys who were on the ground come to their senses and stand up, even the yellow-helmeted man wearing krypto woke up.

-It looks like the fog is dissipating, now get out of here!

The soldiers are almost there and the boys are barely getting to their feet, a steady noise of whining makes me turn my head and see the scientist lying on the floor with some kind of test tube in his left hand.

“I won't let you off that easy, I made a stop at the lab and brought a sample of the blockbuster project, the greatest project designed to mentalize even the power of ordinary people, This will give me the power to restore order in CADMUS.”

The man breaks the container and drinks it, the fast boy runs and lunges towards him to stop him from drinking it, but it's too late, he stops halfway before he reaches the man.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG!"- a groan is heard in the background.

Many horrible things have happened on the way here but this far surpasses what I've experienced, I guess I'm not the only one surprised by the event we are witnessing, his heartbreaking screams make even the speeder still not move from the place where he gave his dry braking.

The man's skin was cracking and emerging under it a much thicker one, his features were disappearing, and not only in his face, but his whole body also experienced the same, it was almost like watching a snake shed its skin, at the end of this transformation the only thing I heard was a roar coming from that new being in which the scientist became, making my whole body shudder.

Krypto already more awake starts to growl, now that I have more idea of my body, I feel more confident, I don't know how far he can go in strength, but my fists are more powerful than before, and I feel the adrenaline running through my body, I know I can do it, I'm not afraid, I'm going to fight with everything I have.

“Get ready Krypto, this is going to get ugly.”
