Dawn of the 13th Era

Psychic

Looking at the lion, his eyes suddenly widened. 'It has two colors?' he thought, when the lion suddenly stood up while staring at him and let out a low roar.

“ROOOAAARRR!!---"

The next moment, the zoo burst into pure chaos as animals like hyenas, tigers, lions, cheetahs, gorillas, crocodiles, snakes, pigeons, and even an elephant suddenly rushed out from the zoo building, all of them staring straight at Orion.

------------------------------------

Ever since Orion gained his ability, it was an habit of his to check the type of colors floating round others and it was his first time seeing one with two different colors apart from him.

'If I'm not wrong then two colors means it has two different abilities and each of them have deep colors.' he thought while looking at the lion then the other animals breaking out. Among them were a few mutants also and the elephant stomping towards him actually had dark brown colors swirling round it.'

'This will be tough, I should just leave and call for help' he thought then turned around and tried running away with Dave's powers when he saw the animals already blocked his way back.

'It can't be.... Does it have intelligence? a mindless beast can't do all this and if I'm not wrong then it can control them and it's the reason the animals went on a rampage.' he thought with rage flashing in his eyes

'But no matter how angry I am there's no way to kill it among all these animals, I'll leave for now to call for reinforcements.' he thought then switched to Alex's form and gathered all the blue sparks into his body then burst into a sprint with everything around him falling into a pause.

He was about to get to the barricade created by the animals when he saw the lion suddenly stare at him then let out a loud roar.

“ROOOAAARRR!!---"

He could feel his head ringing and his body refused to move from the spot, quickly reverting back to his normal form before the blue sparks would start wrecking havoc in his body, he looked back at the Lion that was now staring straight at him.

'That roar, it's like I lost control of my body the moment I heard it'

'I should've just returned to the city, dying here due to a reckless decision doesn't feel nice.' he thought while looking at the animals that had him cornered with the lion looking at him for a while then it seemed to lose interest in Orion and looked down at a lady lying on the ground with blood flowing out of a gun shot wound on her chest.

'What's that?' Orion thought when he suddenly a bang like a loud bomb and the huge elephant suddenly burst apart into pieces of flesh flying around the place.

'What just happened?' Orion thought then he felt the control over his body loosen and he changed back into Alex form and controlled the blue sparks back into his body making a run for the exit.

'I will think of revenge later, for now I need to survive this.' he thought while sprinting out when he suddenly felt a light voice beside his ears.

"Stop"

Orion could feel himself losing all control over his body, unlike earlier he totally lost all control and felt a puppet being piloted.

'Whats going on with me today??'

His body turned around and the sight in front of him shocked him to his core.

The elephant's flesh that was blasted around the zoo started exploding all around killing the animals like mini bombs.

'What the hell??'

"Well, well, well, looks like we have our little shapeshifter with electric powers here." A voice suddenly came from behind him and he felt a slight tap on his shoulder.

Orion's eyes widened and he could feel himself shifting back to his normal form while turning around to face Aeric.

"Looks like it's a student on our hands" he said with an amused smirk on his face.

The lion stood up and let out another loud roar towards the three new entries

“ROOOAAARRR!!---"

But this time Orion didn't feel anything and the other two didn't seem to feel anything either, the rest of the animals suddenly charged towards the four of them with mad fury in their eyes.

"Vincent don't bother with this, Damion you take care of the others I'll take the lion, looks like it knows why there are so many mutants here and I'll be quite happy to know how a tier 3 lion could appear in a zoo." Aeric said without taking his eyes away from Orion.

"You have some questions to answer for me kid, stay here till I'm done like a good boy." Aeric said then walked towards the Lion and stared at it, his eyes turning white while the Lion fell into a dazed state.

Orion could feel his body return to his control but he heard Aeric's voice making him pause in his steps.

"Stay there! Don't make me come over for you"

He raised turned his head and looked at his arm where Aeric places his hand earlier, looking at the cloudy little cluster there, a new addition that wasn't there before.

'Is this what you call a blessing from the heavens?' He thought then transformed into Aeric's form then sprinted towards the entrance.

Vincent, watching Orion make a run for the door was about to run towards him when Orion turned his head towards him.

"Stop!" He said while screaming in his mind 'God please let this work, God please let this work.'

To his surprise, Vincent paused then he ran out of the zoo transformed into Alex's form and covered his body in the blue sparks before making a beeline for the city.

Meanwhile Aeric was still staring at the Lion, even though he tried to interfere with Orion when he was running away, he found out he couldn't do anything to him till he was far away.

"He actually copied my ability becoming immune to my it." He thought before looking towards the Lion who was still staring at the dead lady on the ground with a gunshot wound on her chest while blood flowed through.

"Her name was Mira, take care of her" Aeric heard before the Lion fell on the ground with it's eyes rolled over.

Aeric walked over and placed an hand on it then the memories of the Lion flashed into his mind.
