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.

 It was six in the evening, and dusk was fast approaching, slowly but steadily. Panting heavily on a street basketball court, were Leo, Quincy, Logan, and Tyler. Jessica too sat down and watched them, only that there was no enthusiasm in her eyes and she was mostly moody. 


 Leo's mind too was barely on the game he was playing and he showed a few flaws which his teammates took advantage of, but still failed. However, they too were starting to improve. Quincy was getting faster and his dexterity was improving. Same with Tyler, while Logan is getting more and more strategic and calculative. 


 Leo looked at his panting friends and he gave them all a thumbs-up while he was panting himself. 


Impending Game.
