Evolution- Stage 2

The man shivered as he was forced down the hallway by two Tanks. John Harris had been protecting his family in a nearby town when he had been captured by a man who referred to himself simply as Convert. After several hours of being herded to a valley along with several hundred other humans, than being moved to a cell block and barely being fed, he was weak. What confused him however, is why the two evolved zombies had not ripped him to shreds. After what seemed liked hours, the Tanks brought their human captive to a heavy metal door. Inside, John could hear the sound of a creature growling.

"Bring me the human!" A voice shouted, the very sound of it leaking into John's bones and chilling him. One of the Tanks pushed open the door, to which the other pushed Harris in. John stumbled in, the chains on his ankles causing him to fall to his knees. He looked up into the red eyes of a killer. The beast before him was nearly 6' 5'', with bloodstained teeth and rusted armor. His skin seemed to be pulled tightly against his bones and muscles, making him look thin but strong. The monster extended one hand out towards John, gripping his neck and forcing him to his feet.

"Do you know who I am?" the monster asked coldly, leaning in towards John. Now John could see that the creature's lips were gone, revealing his sharp, bloody teeth. "I... I don't know..." John muttered, trying to break the gaze I held him in. A smile spread across my face as I slowly drew my sword. "I am the Reaper, the Bringer of Death to all the living. I devour the souls of mortals, and lead an army of Hell." In one swift motion, I slit Harris's throat, causing a torrent of blood to gush out from the open cut.

Without hesitating, I began devouring my victim, feeling his strength and power coursing through my body. "Yes! I have triggered Phase 2 in my life cycle!" I yell, stepping back from the half eaten corpse. The virus in my body began changing and growing, altering my form. My body grew larger, more physically imposing, while strains of virus began leaking outside my body. Within seconds, my body was covered in the Super Flu, which slowly formed to the shape of a full body set of armor, and hardened. My head was full encased in a helmet, with the only visible feature being my mouth. Despite this, I could see and hear perfectly.

"I have grown more powerful!" I yell, drawing my newly upgraded blade. "Let my enemies fall before me!"
