In the hidden distance, away from all things good, The dull and lifeless hospital stood on the edge of a soulless society, slowly being consumed by the disease we call decay.
The walls screamed in agonising silence as layers of paint tore away, Shattered glass rained from above, echoes running though freezing empty halls. It was almost as if the building itself was begging for life, crying for someone to hear it . However the Modern world had already moved on. Within the dying walls remained the undesirable, The people deemed unworthy of a place among modern greatness.
Only a place like this could the blessed and the Cursed be found. truly forged in endless pain and suffering, born in places where hope had become nothing more than a forgotten fable.
of course, They knew. The cursed understood where the gods and demons had hidden their power, The fragments of their existence which had been left behind, hidden in their chosen avatar. They knew this truth just as well as we did.
So as soon as our systems started began alerting us. blinding red lights flashing and that deafening tone, We knew something was about to change, A new being had been discovered
The following report I will began reading was not derived from speculation or theories, but was built upon the detailed eyewitness accounts of the civilians who had to endured this gruesome event first hand.
It all begins with the blood wrenching screams of a women giving birth being carried throughout out the hospital corridors, some accounts reported hearing her uttering in pain "get it out of me please" before another series of soul shattering screams echoed through the walls.
At this stage, it is believed she was in the later stage of labour. Eyewitness accounts report the screams being continues for two hours after the initial set of cries were first heard.
After the final set of cries faded, the hospital was once again consumed by the unsettling silence.
This silence only lasted for thirty minutes before the initial reports stated that two men, engulfed by the shadows, began approaching the south entrance doors.
One of the "shadowed" men walked with a distant limp. His body swayed back and forth like a puppet being controlled by unseen strings, as the witness lowered their eyes, They noticed sparks erupting every few seconds behind his leg
Unlike the first "shadowed" man, the second stood perfectly upright. He walked with unwavering determination, each step calm and measured without hesitation, as though if rage itself had become his guide.
Before we divulge the events that followed, for the sake of clarity, the first Shadowed man will be designated shadowed man A, While the second will be Shadowed man B, Now that this has been established, we may continue
As both Shadowed men drew closer, it has appeared that shadow man B clenched his fist and drove it towards the ground during this movement the shadows around him where pulled inwards, slithering down his right arm like a knot of serpents before forming a jet black katana within his hand
Before either men entered through the south entrance doors, they came to abrupt halt, Their heads turned towards one another in a jerking, Almost glitch like motion, both men stared deeply into each other eyes before silently tapping the tips of their blades together, This singular gesture almost mirrors the human act of showing respect before going to war someone
The glass doors shattered across the floor as the two shadowed men stepped through the windowless opening. The few men and women still inside acted like roman statues, as if their souls had been torn from their bodies
But there was one man, He rushed towards the intruders clenched his fist, bravery stained across his eyes. perhaps he believed he could be a hero.
he never even came close.
before the man could so much as breathe on shadowed man B, a jet black hand burst from floor beneath him. it wrapped itself around the mans ankles before violently dragging him backwards, Smashing his face into the cold concrete floor.
This is were shadowed man B, said his first reported words
"these imbecilic worthless creatures called humans.. why did the gods choose you, off all the races, to be avatars"
The hand forged from the shadows gripped the man by the throat, pinning him against the wall before shadow man B
He approached ever so slowly, each step striking the cold concrete with a thud , as the steps got closer the weight of his presence grew, Stopping mere inches away from the mans face, He jerked his head towards one side in a sudden, unnatural motion.
"Are you their hero?, The symbol of hope?, Their savour?"
The man tired to speak. He tried to scream. Instead only wheezing escaped his lips
A faint smile Across Shadow man B face
" I cant hear you, Mr saviour Perhaps your peers can tell me"
He turned slowly to face the frightened face of men, women and children
"Well? Is he your symbol of hope"
Not a single soul dared to answer, They remained frozen, paralysed in fear
his expression darkened.
"IS HE NOT YOUR SAVOUIR"
With a dismissive wave of his hand, the hand gripping the man crushed his windpipe, then viashed as the mans lifeless body collapsed onto the floor.
Shadowed man B looked down at the corpse with nothing but disgust.
"and the gods choose you"
Shadowed man B slowly raised his katana, the blades tip pointing at the nurse behind the reception desk
"she knows. She knows where it is"
As he approached, a single tear starts rolling down the nurse's cheek, Witnesses reported that Shadowed man A stepped beside her, gently pressing the edge of his blade against her smooth face. Catching the tear upon its edge, he slowly drew the blade back before running his tongues across the steel.
"Refreshing.. the taste of human fear. but no need to cry yet. we haven't given a reason too as far as I'm con-"
Shadow man B interrupted him before he could finish.
"She'll will have her reason soon enough , now tells us where the child is... and you may live"
The nurse reportedly gathered her breathe bher breath before replying, her voice trembling
"There.. there was no child born here today sir"
Shadow man B remained completely unmoved, without laying an eye of the nurse, he gave slightest twitch of his towards Shadowed Man A.
A slimed creeped on to Shadowed Man A face as he stepped forwards, Pressing the tip of his blade against the nurses leg with deliberate slowness. She clenched her teeth, desperately trying to hide the pain, but it overwhelmed her and a scream echoed through the reception hall
Shadow man B didn't even flinch
"I don't intend to ask again. Where is the child"
The nurse's face was flooded with tears, her whole body trembled as the words where trapped in her throat.
"R-R-room tt-tt-ten"
In this moment, both Shadowed men Turned away from the reception desk. the nurse took a deep breath as they disappeared into the hallway of the hospital
CCTV footage shows that, just before moving on, Shadow man B swirls his hand in a circular motion before sharply flicking it to the left.
At that exact moment, multiple witnesses reported seeing three jet black blade materialise behind the nurse An instant later, they were propelled towards her with impossible speeds
Once again seen on CCTV, as then men approached the door to room ten, the distant sound of shattering glass could be heard from within.
both shadowed men are seen bursting through the doors of room ten, Looking out of the window, investigators have been able to confirm That they were watching subject baby H and his farther rushing towards a waiting car.
The moment both shadowed men identified subject baby H, they both disappeared from CCTV coverage
However exterior CCTV footage captured the following events. two shadows were seem moving across the ground at an unimaginable speed, pursuing the vehicle as it accelerated away from the hospital.
During this same period, we where able to deploy the enhanced humans unit to intercept the subject H and if possible apprehend the two individuals designated Shadowed Man A and Shadowed Man B.
The following images and evidence were captured by our aerial surveillance helicopter.
As shown in this footage, The shadowed men pursued the vehicle in a high speed chase that began at the outer rim and continued in to the middle rim now I shall breakdown the most significant events
the first noteworthy observation happens when one of the Shadowed men, due to the altitude of our aircraft , we are unable to idnetify witch shadowed man this is. However he appears to pass the though the rear window of the moving vehicle after leaping out of shadow form, moments following subject baby H father collapses, after suffering a fatal wound to the neck. we were unable to confirm how.
Following this, the vehicle loses control, leaving the main road before tumbling down the embankment. at this point the enhanced unit is observed engaging the Shadowed Men. Footage of the engagement has been classified and has therefore been Removed from this report.
The final observation we can speak on shows Subject Baby H being safely recovered by members of the Enhanced Human Unit.
Summary of the incident:
Subject baby h successfully recovered and place into government custody
Both parents confirmed to be deceased
Shadowed Man A and Shadowed Man B evaded capture.
Any possible questions?
