Lying inside an MRI machine, was nervous and slightly scared inside the round and magnificent tube.

 Just beside the room stood two men in lab coats. 

 There were men dressed in military uniforms and holding submachine guns.

  “Are you ready?” one of the doctors asked through the mic.

 “Do it.” the boy replied with a resolute tone. 

 The doctor nodded and pushed a button and the MRI machine began to give a low humming sound.

 Suddenly, the boy felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him scream in agony. He struggled to break free, but he was restricted. After a few seconds, the noise died down.
 
 Suddenly, an alarm began to blare and all the monitors displayed warning and error messages. The men were all shocked, and the uniformed men all cocked their guns and pointed them at the MRI machine. 


 The normal MRI machine began to glow and melt. One could tell that something was burning it.


 Suddenly, it exploded, sending the parts flying everywhere. Some even broke through the glass pane and hit some of the uniformed men.



 There was smoke everywhere and the men all stood up and looked in the direction of the MRI room. As the smoke cleared, a pair of red, cold, and burning eyes opened up and stared at them, sending shivers down their spines.

 Following an accidental encounter, Leo began to manifest superpowers, but with great power, comes power-hungry men and great responsibilities.

 Leo promises to use his powers for good and be the hero he wants to be. But, things did not to turn the way he wanted them to be


 Will Leo overcome the principalities he faces with himself and be the hero he wishes to be, or will he succumb to the ugliness and rage inside him?

The Crimson Phoenix.

Leo brandished his swords and kept slashing at the monster but its hide was too tough so all Leo could do was leave a few marks on its body which would heal almost instantly. Leo's defenses were even worse. 


 He received a punch and tried to block it with his arms but he was sent flying and both his arms broke, together with a few of his ribs. 


 Leo groaned as he was sent flying, hitting a few vehicles before finally stopping after colliding with a building with his back. He was lunged sixty-six meters forward with a tremendous force that would've killed a normal person. Leo felt excruciating pain all over his body but the pain in his arm was even worse. He spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get on his feet. 


 "Nrrgh! That hurts." He groaned but what happened next surprised him. His arms and ribs which were crushed and badly disfigured began to heal at a remarkable speed.
