A Powerful Inferno
As the second scientist made his way towards the destroyed containment room he began to notice more features on the new experiment. He had red glowing veins, piercing orange eyes, an unmistakable underbite and big muscular arms which seemed to darken in color as it got to his forearms which also has black obsidian spikes. Just the sight of him got the scientist nervous of how he may act.
Now in the presence of this beast of an experiment, the scientists looked up at the orange creature and their eyes met. The unnamed creature looked down at the scientist, tilted his head slightly and attempted to utter a word. "W-Who?" he said in a confused manner. The deep yet slow voice sent a shiver down the scientist's spine "Who am I?" Asked the scientist and the experiment nodded. "Ah, well, I am your creator" he responded in a nervous tone. "Keep alive?" asked the creature, which made the scientist even more nervous.
Just then something flew straight past the scientist and towards the experiment. It was another staff, it didn't look anything like the last one but was identical to the candy that the scientists used for a base of the being standing in front of him. The staff was a dark burnt amber color with air bubbles and what seemed like pieces of a scorpion trapped within it. Intrigued by the sudden appearance of the staff, the being grabbed it and made a closer inspection.
Suddenly the first scientist comes running in breathing heavily, "I was looking in the residue chamber- to see if the same thing happened as last time and this thing just popped out." Said the first in between breaths. He looked up at the large being and stepped back, he then looked at the second scientist and quietly whispered "is he a threat?" The second shook his head and the first began to calm down "oh, well that's good, does he have a name yet?" he asked. "No, I guess we should think of one shouldn't we" replied the second scientist as he looked up and down the being. "Inferno?" suggested the first as he looked at the being. "Nah nevermind, it's kinda a cliche name" he continued. "How about, 'Stinger'?" suggested the second as he looked at the being and staff for confirmation, "do you like the name 'Stinger'?" He asked and the being nodded. "Stinger it is." Said the first.
"Alright then, follow me Stinger," said the second scientist as he began to turn towards a different hallway, Stinger tilted his head, wondering what he was going to lead him to but yet he followed him. "I just want to see what abilities you have" he continued as he took Stinger into a different containment room. Stinger reluctantly went inside and the second scientist went outside the containment room to watch him.
"Alright Stinger, try to test your abilities, show me what you got." Said the second and he looked through the glass and crosses his arms.
Stinger looked at his arms and he felt a sudden urge to punch the ground and so he did. He punched the floor and the floor massively cracked open and had what looked like bright orange magma seeping through along with a few obsidian spikes poking out in between the cracks. Stinger smiled at the rush of adrenaline he got from such a simple task. He wondered what other abilities he had and remembered the staff that has been following him. He grabbed the staff and hit it hard against a wall, the staff broke open upon contact and released magma from it's broken encasing. The magma seemed to stay connected to the inside of the staff and within 30 seconds the staff formed back to normal with the magma back inside of its once broken encasing. The scientist was intrigued with what power he had shown in both containment rooms.
"He's strong, yet slow, albeit kind of stupid. But he can be useful." Said the scientist to nobody in particular.
"Alright Stinger, that's enough, let's go" he said as Stinger looked at the door
"don't even think about it"said the scientist as he began to walk towards the laboratory.
Stinger pouted slightly and exited the containment room normally. "So what's he got?" Asked the first scientist "Well, he's obviously very strong, he's pretty slow, kinda stupid and he can summon magma apparently" replied the second. "Oh, oh damn. So I'm guessing with this next one we're gonna reduce the strength, increase speed, and try to add more intelligence?" asked the first. "Precisely" answered the second as he began to prepare more formula for the next attempt. "How about we try to make this one a girl" suggested the first. "We can try" replied the second.
At that moment Stinger began to pace back and forth near the entrance of the basement. He could smell something, bitter and horrendous inside the basement. He was curious. "Stinger, you can roam around if you please but just stay away from the basement." Stated the first scientist as he saw the look of curiosity and then defeat in those orange eyes.
The scientists began to put the gathered formulas into the liquid filled capsule and watch the machine whir.
