Chapter 7: Time Heals

During the past 2 years, I stopped feeling pain and my emotions have mostly become numb. 'What's next for a broken man like me?' I also learned to control the Omnitrix in a much better way, it constantly healed me, and that made it a part of me, in a bizarre way. I could feel it and communicate with it. Although on a low level but still progress, nonetheless.

I started being able to transform parts of my body into parts of some of my alien transformations. An example is that I'm now able to utilize Diamondhead's powers by making small armor around my human body.

I have been slowly getting stronger over these 2 years and my escape will be soon. I'm just waiting for the right moment. I will pay them back for what they have done to me.

I wake up and open my eyes. 'Another day in paradise.' I start my day by talking to the Omnitrix which basically consists of it telling me my vitals, my body's condition, and my mental instability. 'Time for some practice' I transform my arm into that of Upgrade's and I start changing its state. From solid to malleable and extending it like a tentacle.

I also utilized this partial transformation by hacking into the Omnitrix…well not really hacking but more like accessing. I was able to access the master control and unlock it. I was also able to unlock all of the aliens I've used before, and a bunch of new ones that I'm very 'excited' to try.

Hex himself stopped 'visiting' me a few months back.

'I'm guessing he got bored with torturing me since I've stopped reacting to whatever he does. I've even gotten used to death. Wow! Imagine thinking that. Honestly, I'm pretty sure I've lost my mind. Death means nothing to me ever since gramps and the helpers died….

Well, it wasn't them really, it was when Hex brought both my parents and killed them straight in front of me by stabbing through them like some Kebab. Heh, a human Kebab and of my parents no less….

Yeah, I haven't felt myself in a while. Not that it matters anyways since Hex and Charmcaster are going to die soon. I'm positive that I can escape whenever I want. If I just release a big burst of energy from the watch, then the restraints won't be able to handle it.

Why haven't I escaped then… Did I just get used to being locked up…. or am I just scared of what I'm going to find after I'm done with the sorcerers? I mean they took over the world, well more like destroyed as they've bragged about it multiple times.

So, what awaits me after my escape? Well short answer, nothing really which honestly is where my problem lies. Plus, I pretty much can't die now because of the watch so…. yeah, I don't know…Guess I'll just wait for either something to happen or until I've mastered more of the Omnitrix.'

And just like that I close my eyes and start meditating, communicating with the watch, and trying to understand more of its features and secrets. A couple of weeks pass and I'm making slow progress. What wakes me up though is the sounds of smashing that I hear coming from way above me. 'Yeah, my body has far surpassed what a human has since, the Omnitrix would heal me every time by merging some alien DNA into my human body. So, I'm technically not human anymore…I still look human at least. I think.'

I'm now getting curious thinking about how someone in this world still has the will to challenge the sorcerers. 'Odd I haven't felt anything in a long time. Well, can't leave whoever's fighting alone. Time to break out and finish this.'

I then transform both my arms into Chromastone's since I don't want to get hit with the feedback from the power surge I'm about to release. And with a massive shockwave, the chains binding me are broken and I stretch my body.

'It's been a while since I've moved. Hah, I'm aching to go.' Then I start hearing sounds of slamming into the ground as if someone is breaking down to where I am through the ground underneath their feet. The voice gets closer until the roof above my head collapses, and someone falls through.

I move away before I get hit by the rubble and I see someone that I never thought I'm ever seeing again.

"Gwen…. No, but that's impossible. Am I being put in an illusion now or am I hallucinating again…"

Then a voice speaks into my head, 'User is not under an illusion nor are you seeing things. The person in front of you is real.'
