Chapter 23 - [REDACTED]

Ethan and Agent 10 look around. There were big test tubes, machines, and computers; it all looked futuristic, the lights were green, inside the tubes were bodies, and around the bodies was a mysterious liquid… the lab was quiet… too quiet.

Ethan: "This is it?"

agent 10: "Seems so… these bodies… they all look the same"

Ethan: "Well, now we know whoever donated his DNA to this lab is a narcissist."

Agent 10 scoffed and smirked; it was the first time he ever showed emotion, but at that moment, a voice came booming from the ceiling.

???: "Well, well, well!! It seems the rat crawled to the cat's bed!"

Ethan: "The only rat here is you!!"

???: "Oh really… well let me tell you that I am NOT here… you see I may be here in the form of clones, but I am not here to begin with, you see, those clones are imbued in a liquid that has 750 milliliters of element number 119!"

Agent 10: "Well, this is going to be a problem."

Ethan: "Element number what? And why is it going to be a problem?"

Agent 10: "Remember the metal that gave everyone powers?"

Ethan: "Uh-huh?"

Agent 10: "Well… THAT is element 119, they are not able to give it a name so-…"

Ethan: "Why don't they call it powerium?"

???:"Are you two done talking? now… let my genius shatter your bones!!"

And on queue, the test tubes that had the clones in them lowered, the liquid spilled out and the clones fell flat to the ground. They then started to get up. The clones looked around, then at their hands, and suddenly each clone was able to use different and unique powers.

Ethan: "Is that bad?"

Agent 10: "Very!"

Ethan: "Oh, OK, then I guess we will go down swinging, mind if we cooperate?"

Agent 10: "Excuse me? no!… OK, fine, what do you want me to do?"

Ethan: "Since they are clones, I'm sure they are not alive, since they will die quickly, they age faster than the original, which means either way they'll die after the battle. So I need a shotgun and blades on my forearm, and you need to be as lethal as possible, make sure to destroy the lab too while you are at it."

Agent 10: "Oh, fine… I'll go with that, but for now."

The clones were still checking out their powers. Of course, every one of them was naked; luckily, they were created without reproductive anatomy, so it wasn't as traumatizing, though they all looked like an ugly man with a bad hairstyle.

Agent 10 gave Ethan what he asked for, and he got ready. He put on his mask, then he put on a song, it was named "Spooky" by fennecxx.

Ethan got ready, and the clones snapped out of their trance and attacked Ethan. He held his ground, slicing through them, though he hated the sight of blood. The clones proved to be robotic because they kept attacking instead of showing any trace of fear.

Meanwhile, Agent 10 was using rockets, miniguns, and grenades. He destroyed the lab while destroying some clones, a super speed-ed clone attacked Agent 10, but he was fortunately fast enough to punch it towards Ethan, who finished it off.

Ethan: "ain't nobody faster than me… man, I am feeling my sanity slip away just from this… GHOST KING!!"

At that moment ghost king flew in from a vent; he had his usual creepy smile.

ghost king: "what? Need help?"

Ethan: "Yeah… RIP…AND…TEAR…"

ghost king: "HELL YEAH!!"

At that moment, Ethan disconnected the speakers in his helmet and blasted argent metal music, and then he left.

Ghost King was having fun and killing all he wanted… dark, I know, but I can't let the guy out of the action… I am not letting Ethan lose his mind.

Ethan and Agent 10 walked back to the lobby of the building. They saw how sirens were blaring, people screaming, and running to the exit. Ethan looked in the direction they were running from, and there he saw more clones.

He ran outside and looked for John and Minami. He found them talking while floating in the air. He used his superspeed and converted it to superstrength and jumped to their level.

Ethan: "Hey guys…"

Ethan fell to the ground. Both Minami and John flew down to the ground, and Ethan just pointed at the building entrance where people were screaming and running. They immediately understood and flew inside to fight, using their powers to subdue the clones, though they had a tough time.

They weakened some of the clones, but that did not stop them. Suddenly ghost king burst through the ground, the clones screamed… OK, I'm done… no more, just gonna say that ghost king killed them all and everyone went home…

anyways, the medicalm company shut down and was closed, the original culprit got away and is still on the loose… skipped the gore because I wanna keep… darkness to a minimum…
