Black Blood?

At the abandoned factory.

Boris Dentine moved to an area within the lab and pulled a white cloth covering something. His lab was as big as a penthouse living room. What he uncovered were giant cubicles housing different scary hybrid creatures in colored liquid. Like Cedric, he has also attempted to create hybrids, but ended up creating hostile creatures with god-like destructive abilities.

Walking among the cubicles and checking their stats on his tablet, he stopped in front of one of them. This one looked like a cross between a human being and a bat. After checking its stats, he smiled. He then pressed the 'release' button on the tablet and the transparent green liquid drained from the cubicle through a hidden drainage.

As the creature began gaining consciousness, it realized it was in a cofined space and began thrashing around, trying to break through the glass but all its efforts proved futile.

Boris pressed another button on his tab and an electroshock device inside the hybrid was activated.

Roar!!

The device gave the creature a shock that made it roar so loud that it resonated and was heard even outside the glass. Cedric woke up from his slumber on hearing the scarry roar.

After the shock stopped, the hybrid creature fell to the ground, exhausted. Boris opened the cubicle and the hybrid slowly looked up at him, scared to death of another shock.

"That's right. Acknowledge your master." Boris then held up a small piece of cloth that has a circular blood stain on it. This was the same piece of cloth Cedric used to dab his son's injection puncture after injecting him with the serum ten years ago.

The hybrid sniffed it in and caught a scent. It slowly stood up. Boris pressed another button on his tab and the round skylight on the roof opened.

"Go. Bring him to me. Alive." Boris said to the hybrid.

The hybrid nodded, spread it's bat wings and flew into the sky through the entrance in the ceiling.

"What are you doing, Boris?" Cedric, who saw the hybrid fly out through the open skylight roof, asked in horror.

"You're awake. That's good. Your son will be here to keep you company soon. Just relax." Boris replied with a sarcastic tone.

Meanwhile at Nancy's residence.

Adrian assisted Nancy in loading her luggage into the Toyota Venza which she would be driving to the airport with. Her flight was scheduled for 11am. Adrian and his mom left the house by 9:45am.

On getting to the airport, Nancy went to present her passport. After that, they bought snacks and drinks while sitting in the waiting area and chipping in small talks now and then.

By 10:45 am, an announcement sounded that their plane was ready for takeoff and that all passengers should please take their seats inside the plane. Adrian followed Nancy into the plane and sat on the seat beside hers. Luckily nobody else booked that seat.

"Baby, I don't remember you booking a flight ticket." Nancy said. Adrian laughed. "Well I'm here for your company before your liftoff, mom."

"Aren't you sweet?" Nancy said and giggled. At 10:52am, he kissed Nancy on the cheek and left the plane.

When he was down, he watched the plane skid off the runway and lift off into the sky before heading back home in the car.

Meanwhile, the hybrid located Adrian while he was about to leave Nancy's apartment and has been following them with the clouds as cover.

It got to the airport and crouched on the roof of the observatory, watching Adrian go into the plane. It crouched and waited until the plane began driving along the runway. Due to the population near the plane, he didn't see Adrian leave. So it chased the plane, thinking he was still in there.

Adrian got home and took out some oats and made some oatmeal for himself while he sat in front of the TV in his room to watch the MTV Base show. He was listening to his favorite jam by one of his favorite Nigerian artistes when an emergency news broadcast came on screen.

"Breaking News! A Boeing 727 aircraft en route to has been interrupted by what the pilot calls a strange aggressive force. This distress signal was sent shortly after the attack." The newscaster then played a recording.

"Control! We're under attack by an unknown entity. It's literally ripping the plane apart! Send help please..." the recording ended with static.

Adrian turned off the TV and headed to the frontage of his house. He began feeling a searing pain in his back and his iris became a golden color. Then he flew straight into the clouds and towards the airport.

While in the clouds, he could see everything that's 300kms from his position in front of him like it was just ten steps away. Using this ability, he located the plane. It was about 50 kilometers from him and was badly damaged as its engine was emitting dark smoke. Using his sonic speed ability, he flew towards the plane.

The bat hybrid, with it's steel like claws tore open the plane's exterior and got into the passenger cabin while sniffing around. A buff man tried attacking it but the hybrid stopped it and gave him four long tear lines at his chest. A paramedic woman came to his aid as the hybrid walked away.

"You're not the one I seek." The hybrid said in a horrific thick voice and moved in between the passengers, following Adrian's scent. It stopped on front of Nancy, staring deeply at her with its black eyes.

"You have his scent. Where is he?!! Tell me!!!" It roared.

Nancy who was close to tears was so visibly shaken that she was rendered speechless.

Angered by this, the hybrid raised its hand to claw through Nancy, who closed her eyes, awaiting her death.

BOOM!!

A loud sound that made everyone who was staring at the hybrid cover their ears and look away from it. There was a hole in the wall of the plane where the hybrid was standing. Everybody ran to the window and saw the hybrid in the air and plummeting towards the ground.

While people watched and were wondering what happened, a man flew towards the plummeting hybrid and punched it square in the face, making it spit black blood.

After a while, th creature stabilized itself and gained its balance in the air after flapping its wings vigorously. Adrian stood in the air a few meters in front of it as it looked back at him with its blacked out eyes.

"It's you, Adrian." The hybrid said.

"What do you want?" Adrian asked after figuring out it could speak.

"My master wants your power. Come quietly and we won't have to use force." The hybrid replied.

"I'm sorry. I can't come with you. I'm no experimental lab rat or guinea pig."
