CH21:SCARE FOR JASON

[10Energy points left.]

[Health levels critically low.]

[Commence emergency procedures??]

'System. Explain to me what exactly these emergency procedures are?'

[Gladly.]

[Emergency Procedures: Your body will be forced to transform to your most powerful form and either:

[A: Escape from the opponent that is stronger than you.]

[B: Force yourself to hunt for blood.]

[C: Fight to survive.]

'Err…If I select B, will I still be able to control myself?' He asked.

[!!WARNING!!]

[You will lose all forms of self-control. This procedure isn't by choice, it's by force.]

Ace observed and noticed that he and Jason were on a long, dimly lit hallway with flickering lights. 'How the Universe loves me. Perfect place for a horror scene.'

[Emergency Procedures Commenced.]

"Aaargghhh. Aaarrhhh….*screeech*]

Jason's heart stopped for a second as he quickly turned around to see where those noises came from. However, he was standing in the middle of the hallway that he couldn't see the end of it clearly. To make it worse, they were underground and he didn't know what time of day it was. Even more, the lights started to flicker and his wild imagination got the best of him.

"Who the f*ck is there? Show yourself." He shouted as he threw out multiple lighting bolts around. No one answered but he swore he could hear footsteps coming for him. The footsteps grew louder and echoed much faster, meaning who ever it was came running.

"I ain't bluffing man. I'll do more than shock you." He made a lighting staff and took a defensive position. Suddenly, the footsteps were no more but something else stood in the hallway with Jason. At the furthest end of the hallway were two sets of eyes.

"Got you, a**hole." Jason threw the staff he had while he made more and threw them. The staffs lit up the hallway slightly and that's when Jason could see who those eyes belonged to. "What the….stay away from me. STAY AWAY FROM ME."

Jason, who didn't want to show fear, held out both his palms as lighting bounced off the walls. However, the eyes suddenly disappeared and the body was no more. "Oh good god!!"

Jason started to walk away at a moderate pace but slowly picked it up when he heard sounds of footsteps growing louder with each passing second. He went from walking, to jogging, to running, to sprinting for his dear life as he tried to hide his fear. STAY AWAY FROM ME. I'M WARNING YOU." He cried.

The lights flickered much faster as the footsteps grew louder. He looked behind him and saw a creature crawling on the walls with its white, slanted eyes starring deep into his soul.

"AAHHHH."

*ROAR* (**Imagine Carnage's roar whenever such a scenario happens**)

Seeing that sprinting wasn't going to do him any good, Jason decided to try and confront the creature once more, but he was soon going to regret that. A red, wet, tentacle shot from the creature's back and wrapped itself around Jason's leg and lifted him up to the ceiling. It then bashed him up and down the floor and ceiling and crashed him through the walls repeatedly. This all happened too fast for Jason to do anything and before he knew it, he found himself hanging upside down as he starred at a red, monstrous face. Jason's body was paralyzed with fear as a warm liquid traveled from his manhood to his upper body and soaked itself in his clothes.

"Please….Please. What do you want from me? What have I done to you?" He pleaded.

"MORE HARM THAN GOOD." The red creature replied. "DO YOU KNOW THE SAYING, REVENGE IS BEST SERVED COLD? WELL, I LIKE MINE WARM, FRESH AND RED WITH A HINT OF IRON IN IT." Smaller tentacles attacked themselves onto Jason's flesh as they pierced themselves into his blood vessels and drained the blood out of him.

He felt his energy leaving his body as his head became lighter. His vision grew blurry and his already white skin grew paler. "NOW NOW NOW. WE CAN'T HAVE YOU DYING YET." The red creature spoke as it dropped his body down. It placed its long dangly claws on his head and said, "TO MAKE SURE NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW ABOUT THIS."

Jason's body convulsed as the red creature's claws moved around his head. "GOOD BYE FOR NOW, BOY." As fast as it happened, the red creature vanished while Jason's body remained on the ground. He was weakened, exhausted and extremely terrified about what happened.

"What…what was that thing?"

--------------------------

[Blood lust quenched]

[Blood bank filled: You can now use your stored blood for emergencies.]

[All stats are back to normal]

+1 Stat point earned.

'One stat point?' Ace wondered as his body turned back to normal. He made sure to hide somewhere after he had his fill from Jason. 'I thought I only stat points from leveling up, system!' He wondered.

[For each new blood donor, you receive a stat point.]

'Hmmm…so every new victim is a stat point for me, huh?' He smirked. 'Let's hope no one else gets on my bad side.'

--------------------

"NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SHE'S TOO DANGEROUS." Grand Master cried out to Grim as he tried to stop him from going in. Grim instead stared back at Grand Master with a smirk and said, "I'm not like anything she has ever faced before. You don't have to worry about me. In fact…I'll help you gain control of her and stretch my muscles. It will be a win win situation for us."

Grim shut the doors behind him as he used his tail to clear the strands of blood that filled the whole room. Cherry had disappeared into the thick of it while she cackled in an eerie manner.

"So…you dared to come in, ey? She said but was no where to be seen. The inside of her cell looked like a thick, impenetrable jungle. Grim had to use his claws and thick tail to clear the entire cell of the blood. However, each strand he destroyed just reattached itself back together, making it harder for him to see and move.

"Well, why wouldn't I?" Grim tried to engage with her as he sought to find a way of clearing the cell. "I hear you're quite the fighter, ey! Unlike your weakling of a brother you abandoned you!!"

Out of nowhere, Cherry landed on top of Grim with her fingers that were claws. She dug them as deep as she could while she controlled some strands of blood to wrap around Grim and keep him pinned down. "What did you say about Ace."

Grim smirked after he heard the name Ace and Cherry realized the terrible mistake she made.

"We've got a name."
