Humans=Danger

Horado replaced the batteries of the culture vat then started to charge the now empty ones, he sat on the ground and waited for something good to happen.

"Come to think of it it has been nearly five hours yet I still don't feel the need to eat" Horado was beginning to wonder whether he was still human or not.

"Hmm..." Horado was trying to think of what he should do for the time being until he heard the door open. He immediately grabbed a broken pipe and got in a fighting stance as if he had been trained to do so even if he knew that he is not a fighter.

"Your pretty sharp kid" A man with rugged looks and the horid smell that came out from him nearly made Horado puke.

"Damn! Since when did you last take a shower?!!" Horado complained loudly as he pinched his nose and tried to breath through his mouth but immediately regretted it as he felt that he tasted the horid smell.

The man was offended by what Horado had just said, it was the age of Apocalypse of course he wouldn't be able to take a bath!!

"Hmph!" The man snorted and revealed a sickle that was strapped behind his back and lunged towards Horado who in the nick of time was able to block it with the broken pipe.

The sound of metal banging against metal reverberated throughout the building, their battle greatly stirred up the dust that had accumulated inside which made it harder to breathe and see, for Horado that is afterall he had just awoken from his slumber, have not eaten anything, and haven't gotten used to the conditions of the Apocalypse of course he wouldn't be in the best shape plus he ain't a fighter.

"I so hate this" Horado said as he was once again nearly hit by the sickle, one wrong move and his limbs would fall of or he could even die.

The man once again had lunged towards Horado which made an opening quite obviously, Horado ducked and swung his weapon towards the man's stomach with full force.

"Gofuhn!!" The man spat out blood as he flew straight towards the wall making a light indention on it.

The man groggily stood up from the spot not until Horado had already appeared next to him and punched him on his solar plexus thus knocking out the air contained in his lungs.

The man smiled as he bit at a capsule that was shaped like a tooth then the wounds on himself healed at a visibly fast pace which made Horado back away while caution can be seen in his eyes.

The man disappeared from his spot and instantly got in front of Horado which surprised Horado and wanted to block a hit that his instincts warned him about but he was too slow!! He was punched straight to the other side of the room making many Laboratory equipments get destroyed and chemicals spill on him making his skin feel like it was burning.

Surprisingly although it hurt like hell he didn't even utter a single sound as he looked at the beaker that housed the chemical which made him feel pain.

"Have a taste of this!!" Horado shouted as he threw the beaker towards the man who sliced it but due to this the liquid sprayed all throughout his body making him bite another capsule but this time it was twice.

"Oh come on!! that is so unfair!!" Horado wanted to complain at the game masters that designed the game especially the stage he was currently in.

The man was clearly pissed at Horado as he had just wasted three precious life saving capsules which costs a lot. The man noticed Horado looking at the culture vat from time to time so he decided to hit the culture vat that Horado was protecting but before the sickle could even touch it Horado had used the pipe to block it.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!!!" Horado's eyes started glowing an ominous red as the building also started shaking as if the very earth became scared of Horado's anger, yet strangely enough the culture vat remained unharmed nor were its functions impaired.

"Codename: Guardian, accessing dormant power" Horado spoke in a robotic manner as his entire body became engulfed in magma which started to harden in some places giving him a much definite shape.

The man gulped in fear, he felt as if a rabbit he was about to catch just became a dragon of legends and peed his pants.

Horado who now became something along the lines of a humanoid golem glared at the man. The man initially wanted to take Horado and anyone with him and turn them into slaves but he regretted his decision of even wanting to do so.

'Of course he would not have survived this long if he wasn't strong!!!' The man wanted to beat his past self so badly to the point that he nearly fainted.

"DIE" Horado said coldly yet at the same time it made the earth tremble much worse as black crystals cut straight through the man's body then swallowing it back underground.

"Hmph" Horado grunted then returned back to his original appearance with the added bonus of majorly strengthening the building they were on.

"Ugh..." Horado groaned as he felt every single cell in his body screaming in pain, not only was the transformation powerful it was also durable but at the cost of making the user extremely tired at the end. It also makes the user feel as if they had been dipped in magma along with burning the skin, muscles, and lastly bones of the user the longer they use it.

Strangely enough even though Horado only felt the pain and tiredness but his skin and entire body was still intact, not even a scratch was placed on himself and the burns he got from the chemicals which spilled on him earlier actually healed without leaving a scar.

"Gosh darn it, humanity really is the worst..." That were the last words he uttered as his consciousness sank into the dark Abyss.

"Uuuuuu... hungry..." Horado mumbled as he started to wake up from his sleep. He was placing his hands on many things trying to cope a feel for any food or any living organisms but once he touched a piece of metal it started to melt while he started to feel his hunger diminish.

"I really am no longer human" Horado said with a wry smile as he continued to eat some of the scrap metals in the vicinity.
