First day of hell

I remember the first time I met him, Father took us to book signing he had at the local mall, the salt and pepper pointy beard, the bald spot, the grizzled look in his dirty Grey eyes... it gave me goosebumps! I never thought I'd see him again, I can't help but tear up, "It's an honour to meet you sir!" I squel, getting started eyed with a somewhat unexpected reunion. Sir Gearson seems bewildered at first but quickly comes to his senses.

"Gastard" Sir George said, "pardon?" I ask, "My name is George Gastard, not Gearson... by the way, who are you? have we met before?"

Sir George seems nervous for some reason, his left arm is behind his back and his stance.... he looks ready to lunge at any moment, right.... this is technically a prison, it's reasonable he'd be suspicious of a strange person suddenly knowing his name.

"I'm a.... supporter of yours sir" "From where exactly? I don't recognize your face?" "My father told me stories about you when I was younger, it inspired me to seek my own adventure!" technically, it's not a lie, he did inspire me, I just hope he believes me.

"What's your name child?"he asks, "Castor Grimes Jnr!" I said, he studies me for a moment, "You have a surname, so you're a noble? quite underdressed though" he sighed, finally removing his hand from his back and taking a more relaxed stance. "Follow me" he said, "some fools decided to take the opportunity to breakout during your rebirth, Grazer is dealing with them now, I decided drop by and meet our new brother" he continued, So he's a prisoner Like me, ah, I'm kinda sad, did he commit some heinous crime or was he unjustly put here like me?

while such thoughts race through my mind we leave the room making our way to an open field, outside the facility.

"how does your body feel child? anything different? off?" he asked, "well, I don't know? wait what was that gas from before? will it turn me to something like Grazer?" I asked, the thought just crossing my mind, "Ah, that's right you wouldn't have seen any of those down at Garland, that Mother's grace, a strange gas that causes one to mutate their body and develop paranormal abilities" he answered, "We're almost there, keep up" Paranormal abilities? is this a joke? I look at his face, he looks dead serious, am I going to turn into something like Grazer? the thought of my body being perversed like that sends chills down my spine.

"Don't worry, Grazer is a Demi-Demon by race, you don't have to worry about looking like him..... more importantly we need to figure out what your ability is" he said, reassuring me, I look around and notice other people here, most of them are spar.... no fighting! one girl's arm just flew off! we finally stop at mostly vacamt spot. "You see that guy over there, go fight him!" "huh!?"

The one Sir George pointed at, looked.... off, aside from his blue skin, he looked like a normal person, plain looking, average build, average height, average everything, but something was off, I could feel it in my gut, "The best way to find out what your ability is, is by putting yourself in a fight or flight situation, don't worry, he won't kill you, he knows not to piss me off since I've taken you under my wing" Sir George said, trying to reassure me.

I take a deep breath and move towards him, the blue man's lips curl up into a smile as he sees me.

He lunges at me, he throws a right hook to my face, I dodge, I shoot a left jab to his right kidney, the boxing lessons Father gave me is starting to kick in! "Kah!" the blue man jumps back from the sudden shock, I lunge forward! I'm not about to give him breathing room! I grab his shirt and wheel back my left arm for a second punch and.... it falls. I look at my left arm in shock and the blue man uses that opportunity to lunch a counter attack, he punches square in the jaw!

"Ewooo" I groan, as I nurse my Jaw surprised by the sudden attack, "I can't feel my face!" I exclaimed, is this his ability? paralysis? I don't have to think, he lunges forward again, this time I roll outta the way, I try to lift my right hand but it falls " Damn it" I curse, I shouldn't have touched him, he keeps coming at me, his moves are clumsy and easy to dodge but the paralysis is a pain to deal with, with no choice I decide to attack with my legs, I give him a dropkick in the face! "Pigwah!?" he squels, blood flies outta his mouth, more than I imagined, it's kinda disgusting really, as I try to get up and finish him off, I fall to the ground and begin to scream,

"Ahhh!" my Jaw and arms are in intense pain! is this also his ability? Damn it! a kick knocks me on my back, while I'm disoriented, the blueman jumps on me and starts landing blow after blow, he doesn't stop until my face is a bloody mess.

"Oooooh" I groaned, the good news is I can feel my arms now, the bad news news I can also feel my face! "Not bad, not bad!" the blueman spoke, "he has a little fire in him, but he needs some work Georgie" "I know, hopefully the others will mold him better" Sir George replied, I try to get to my feet but face plant into the spot where the Blueman's blood splashed, "Ewww" I shuddered, thankfully sir George helped me to my feet, he supports me on his shoulder and leads me back to the facility, "You did good, I'm sure your ability will surface soon" Sir George said, "Thanks...." I replied. "Welcome to your first day in hell, do well to survive child."
