For the coming years they experimented on us. We all went through different things. Sometimes they inserted things into our body's and after a while they removed them. They melted, burned, and cut us over and over. Overtime we could start regenerating our injuries and regrew any limbs that were missing. Then they got worse.
They performed surgeries on us while we were awake. They said we had to force our regenerative abilities to stop. Of course we all refused but they threatened us. I don't know how they convinced the others but for me they threatened to kill green. We got close to each other since we saw each other from our cells. They picked up on this and used it against me.
At first they opened my body and attached weird machines onto whatever moved and I would always feel a intense pain throughout my body. Every now and then I would pass out from the pain but they either poured acid on me or cut an arm off to wake me up. Then they opened up my skull while I watched. I didn't know what they were doing but always felt strange when they did this. This went on for years and the only reason we didn't go insane is because we talked to each other.
For some reason we didn't remember our names and guessed that's what they were doing with our brains. Red's father was a karate master and thought that fighting was a natural thing. He passed this of to his son so red always liked to fight. Black was some rich couples son and was always spoiled. He always got his favorite foods or clothes and used anyone to get what his parents couldn't give him by blackmail or lying. Green's parents were doctors who helped green with her problem. Green's immune system was weaker than most so she always got sick and had to stay home most of the time.
I told them them how my parents simply worked in a office and I simply led a normal life like most kids. Over time the hallway to our cells changed. They inserted a large metal wall that goes into the ceiling when someone enters and when someone does their wearing a big clunky suit like a astronauts. Not only that but our appearances changed as well. Black seemed to have gotten so fat that it's a wonder how his feet was supporting him. Red was like a powerhouse. Every where you looked their was muscles but he always had that pissed off look on his face. Green was a beauty that would put models to shame. Her hair reached down her back. Her curves were all just right and her bust wasn't to small or to big.
I on the other hand was taller than the rest. Though I was extremely pail and thin. When I looked at myself in reflective surfaces I could see I had white hair that went to the back of my neck. Whitish silver eyes that surprised me since they used to be just silver. And finally noticed we had strange abilities. I was able to see a persons heart beat, brain, and veins through their body. Green had a bunch of different diseases in her body and was somehow able to know what each one did. They effected plants, animals and humans. Red was always pissed and when you annoyed him even the slightest he would go berserk and attack the walls and cell bars. It got so bad once that the bars had to be replaced since he nearly knocked them out of the walls. Black was able to sense a persons desires. He could tell if they wanted food, money, sex, etc, etc.
The people would put rats into our hallway to test our abilities. They all died but it was the way they died that was weird. When the rat's got close to red's cage the rat's started fighting other rats until they died. When rat's got close to black's cage they either started screwing their brains out and died from dehydration or got really hungry and attacked and ate anything with meat. The ones in greens cell all died. They either had their hair fall off or coughed up blood until they died or clawed at themselves trying to get something out till they died. The ones that came to me simply died. They didn't do anything just simply approached me and died. I could see their brains and hearts just stop while their blood stopped flowing.
Everyone had different opinions on this while I simply didn't care. I didn't feel anything like there was a void in me keeping me from feeling. The only thing I seemed to care about were the other 3. Years had passed with experiments and tests and now we looked 21 which is odd because according to the calender's we saw when we passed by some rooms it's been 25 years since we were brought here. During that time we all got really close to one another since we were all we had. We even made a secret language that only we understood. Finally the others had enough after hearing some people in the suits say we will soon become mindless soldiers. So we made a plan to escape using our secret language.
We put our plan into action immediately which started with green mixing some diseases in her body to constantly make and cough up blood. My job was when the people arrive to check what's going with green I had to piss off red. When they arrived I did my part.
Me: HEY RED!! YOUR FATHER IS A SPINELESS COWARD WHO MAKES TICKS SEEM LIKE KINGS!
Red: WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU BASTARD!!!
I knew red respected his father a lot so it was easy to make him go berserk. He burst through the bars instantly and started tearing the people in suits to shreds. Then he reached my cage and instantly broke the bars and grabbed me by the neck.
Red: MY FATHER WAS A GREAT WARRIOR YOU BASTARD!!
Me: I-I know... wheez... remember this was the plan.
Red seemed to come back after that and immediately knew what to do. The metal wall was coming down so he immediately rushed to it and stopped it's decent.
(Amazing that thing must weigh a few ton's.) I thought while I watched him stop with ease. I went to the remains of the people in the suits and searched them. I found keys in what i'm assuming was a stomach. It was hard to tell what was what since red pretty much shredded these guys. I grabbed the keys and opened the last 2 cages letting out black and green. Then we ran out of the hallway that was our jail for years. What greeted us was soldiers with different guns. They shot at us riddling us with holes and blowing us up.
But thanks to our regenerative ability we recovered quickly and charged them. Like the rats they died in a way that depended on which one of us they were closest to.
Me: I guess this is why they always wore those suits.
Black: Yep but we should hurry since we don't know how many suits they have.
Me, Black, and Green each grabbed a gun while red took 2 military melee knives. We charged through the facility trying to find a way out until we entered a room with computers that had our pictures on them. On closer inspection we guessed they were our profiles on what we are. So we printed them somehow considering we had no computer experience in the last 25 years. It was full of numbers and symbols that we didn't understand but regardless we still took it. We finally found the exit after everyone in the building tried to stop us but because of our abilities we easily disposed of them.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
We were on a mountain surrounded by a forest in the middle of nowhere.
Red: Damn! Not only was that guy in the suit not in there but now were in the middle of nowhere?
Me: Seems that way. Anyway what do we do now?
Black: Why don't we find a town and ask for help?
Green: You saw what happened in there anyone we get close to dies.
Red: Well I want to show that guy in the suit what terrifying creatures he made us into.
Then he charged off and we simply followed. We didn't have a purpose but red gave us one. For 3 years we searched for that man. We went into city's and killed people regardless of who they were. Man, woman, child, and elderly all died in our presence. At first the others were horrified by this while I didn't feel anything from it. Green especially took it hard but over time they accepted their fate and burned with a vengeance for the man.
The army tried to stop us with everything they got. Bombs, missiles, poison, guns, tanks, etc. All of them failed in the end and we continued our path of revenge. We were able to find out what we were thanks to studying the books we found in a city that was deserted thanks to our presence. We were made so that as long one cell remained from our body it can regenerate back to our original self. This also makes us ageless so were the closest thing to immortal in this world. As for why people act strange and die in our presence. Simply it's our brains.
Our brains send out electric signals to others that messes with their minds. Red makes people extremely pissed to the point that they are mindless beasts. Green has peoples brains make diseases in their body's using the body's different substances. Black makes the brain want what the the person desires to the point the brain thinks it needs this to live. Me I simply stop all brain activity. Everything in the body is controlled by the brain and when the brain stops everything stops. But that's not all. Me and green can effect our surroundings too. Green can make a disease in her body without dying and push it to the surface of her skin and release it into her surroundings killing humans, animals, and plants. It continues to spread long after she left.
I on the other hand can sacrifice my cells and make them go into my surroundings and introduce them to other living organisms. When they enter the organism it sends a message to the other cells telling them to just die. But if theirs a brain it sends the message there and the brain dies. But mine can't spread like greens it only stays in that area waiting for it's next victim.
We visited many city's and constantly we were attacked. We went to different country's like America, Africa, and Russia. People started calling us the four horseman and gave us individual names. Black was given the name hunger, Red was called war, Green was named plague. I came to be known as Death and was considered more dangerous than the others. We took on these names since we couldn't remember our real ones and finally discovered who that suit man is. He is the prime minister of japan and we made that our prime destination.
Through waves of nukes, missiles, and soldiers we reached the prime minister. When we confronted him he saw his fate.
PM: W-wait guys I gave you strength. I-I mean with your strength would make this world bow to you. A-and I can help you achieve that. Everything can be yours.
Hunger: Can we take his offer? I mean having everything sounds awesome.
War: NO! He's just trying to save his own skin.
Plague: Besides were ranked most dangerous in the world by all governments.
Me: So they'd probably want us dead over serving us.
Hunger: Aww man! Now i'm pissed and sad.
War: Than how about you take it out on this guy. Plague you make a terrible disease for him that will hurt like hell. Hunger you increase his desire as much as you can while I piss him off so much that he starts punching everything he sees. Death your gonna have to leave. We want him to suffer as much as he wants.
Me: I understand but can you give me 5 minutes to get to the security room and watch.
War smiled at me and replied
War: Of course but you better hurry, I don't think I can hold myself that long.
PM: Wait WAIT YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!
He tried to jump at me but war stopped him with a kick that reminded me of that first day. I quickly left the ministers study and ran down the halls the mansion that were littered with corpses of people that were unfortunate enough to stand in our way. I made it to the security room and turned on the monitor in time to see the show. Personally I didn't care about him but the others found him their reason to continue moving forward after all that's happened so his only worry is what happens after this.
Half of Japan is inhospitable thanks to radiation from nukes and power plants. Everyone began to leave the country thanks to our arrival and all the planes and boats are packed full. It got so bad that not even the prime minister couldn't leave the country freely anymore. Even while the prime minister is going through the hell the others are giving him people are doing anything and everything to get out of the country.
That was one year ago the prime minister died a week after we got him. Japan is all ours and no cares about us anymore as long as we stay here. Whole army's used to come after us but quit when they lost to many men. So we took up residence in Tokyo and divided the city to our own territories. Strangely plague decided to stick with me while the others stuck with their own territories. Once a week we get together and blow up something or burn stuff. We can't do much since there is no electricity and it's just the 4 of us.
Me and plague walked for a hour before reaching the meet up point where hunger and war was waiting for us.
War: Finally your here. we've been waiting for a few hours.
Me: Sorry I was preoccupied.
Hunger: With what there's nothing to do.
???: Well I have something you can do.
With a flash of light the horsemen were gone and the world rejoiced. At the same time a classroom in america also vanished the same time as the horsemen.
