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.

The Crimson Phoenix.

On a Saturday afternoon, in a basketball court on the street, four boys were standing there with their jersies. Three of them were facing the one with the ball, who seemed to be standing in front of the basketball hoop. 


 "Can I ask why we're not using the school's basketball court?" one of them asked. The one facing all three boys smiled and replied him. 


 "We don't need spectators. Flashy moves calls for lots of attention." he said. He was naturally Leo. The three boys in front of him were Quincy, Tyler, and Logan. Saturday was designated as a day off from training. That was the coach's order... or it was mainly because the rate of students passing out in her training started increasing. Some students even suggested she add Friday as day off too, but that was them stepping on her bottom line. She outrightly refused them. 


 "So... how are we gonna start?" Quincy asked. Leo smiled and bounced the ball a few times as he paced to and fro.
