Kapitel 2: Transformation
The morning after he had felt ill, Damian felt better than ever, but he could not see a single thing. He seemed to be in a pitch black box of some sort that was made of an unknown substance.
He tried to push through it, and surprisingly it moved out of the way for him and dispersed almost entirely. However, it seemed to be following him around wherever he went, and he decided to get a better view of whatever was behind him in the mirror.
What he saw absolutely baffled him, not only was his entire appearance completely different from the day before, but the black entities which he was seeing looked like tendrils which were emerging from his back.
Damian wanted to know if he could potentially control these, as despite the insane situation, he would have loved to have superpowers like he had seen for years on TV.
He had no idea how they had appeared, nor why his appearance had changed, but he was more excited than scared.
Damian tried to control the tendril-like things on his back, and to his surprise he could easily control them like they had been there forever. He wanted to test out his new limbs in an open space, and managed to retract them as if they had never been there in the first place. He learned that he could manifest them at will, with sixteen tendrils being created at maximum.
He retracted them again, and got dressed in his school clothes, as his tests would need to wait until later. Although he had previously wanted to take some time off of school, he realised now that with his new power he would more than likely be safe from some thugs in a gang.
Damian felt like the main character of a superhero comic, a bullied teenager who gains a superpower and defends himself from his bullies before becoming a Hero. It truly seemed as though this would be the turning point of his life.
Nobody at his sixth form would recognise him now, as in comparison to his old scrawny self with blonde hair and blue eyes, he now had long black hair with black eyes (his right eye still being scarred), and a significantly more muscular body. As well as this, his height had increased to 6'2.
Damian tried to get dressed in his uniform, but none of his clothes fit him due to the increase in height and muscle. He had to call the school and inform them that he would be late, as he had an appointment. In reality, he was just going to buy new clothes, but an appointment sounded better on paper.
He left his house in casual clothes which were already oversized, so they fit him somewhat okay, and then he ordered a taxi to take him to the nearest shopping centre.
It was a quick in and out trip, with him picking up a simple white shirt, black blazer, and black trousers, as well as some new shoes as his feet had increased in size along with the rest of his body.
He put the clothes on in one of the changing rooms after he had purchased them, and proceeded to get another taxi to his school. When he arrived, he walked through the reception doors without anyone batting an eye, and he scanned his ID card to enter the main school building before walking to his normal classroom.
It was already around half past nine, which means his first lesson would be well underway, as it was over halfway done. This did not bother him though, as Damian had been feeling more confident than ever since he had woken up with his shadow tendrils which was what he had decided to name them, due to their dark and misty looking appearance.
He opened the classroom door, and walked into the room before sitting in his regular seat. The teacher looked confused, as he had never seen Damian's new appearance, "Excuse me, have you come to the wrong classroom?"
Damian replied, knowing something like this would happen, "No Sir, this is the same class I've been in all year."
Realising who it was, the teacher was quite shocked, "Well Damian, you've changed quite a bit since the last time I saw you. Ask someone what we're doing, and crack on with your work."
The teacher resumed what he was doing, but rather than anyone informing him of what work to do, everyone looked at him with disgust. Damian knew what this was about, as he assumed the rumours that he had assaulted a girl would have spread by now. However, he paid no heed to them, and as he only had two lessons that day, waited eagerly to test his new power in his free time.
His first lesson, seeing as it was only half of one, went incredibly quickly, but his second lesson was not as easy. In this lesson was the girl who had accused him, and her boyfriend which meant his next hour and a half or so would be Hell.
The lesson in question was Textiles, a mandatory lesson which was held once a week and nobody cared about. However, as the year as a whole had not done enough subjects in the lower years, they were being forced to take another up in sixth form, hence why they all did Textiles.
Much like the students, the teachers did not have a care in the world for this lesson either, with Damian's teacher in specific basically never being in the lesson which allowed for anything to happen with no restrictions.
Therefore, the second the teacher left the room and stated that she would not be returning, Alex (Damian's accuser's boyfriend) began to harass him.
"What's up with the new look you freak?"
Damian simply ignored him as he did not want to get more involved than he already was with the gang.
"I asked you a question, you assault my girl and now you ignore me? You want me to beat the shit out of you? You shouldn't even be alive right now you stupid fuck."
Damian ignored these threats and sat on his phone without paying him much attention.
"If you liked my present yesterday, you're gonna love my gift tonight. I'm not sure you'll be able to enjoy anything else after you receive it though, considering you'll be dead."
Seeing as how his teacher was not coming back, and being too bored and pissed off to continue listening to this harassment without potentially retaliating, Damian decided to leave school early. Obviously, as he was doing this he was called names such as "pussy" and "gay", which really had no effect on Damian as he left without paying any attention.
He quickly made his way out of school entirely, and went to an abandoned warehouse that he knew of which used to be used by a farmer who had long been dead. He knew this would be a good place to test out his new power, and got to it immediately.
First off, he immediately summoned all sixteen tendrils, and used them to scale the side of the warehouse incredibly quickly, much quicker than using climbing gear or simply by hand.
He then tested out the capability of changing the tendrils' shape, he found he could make them sharper at the ends, as well as thicker or thinner, all while controlling the movement of them. One thing about the shadow tendrils that Damian was a big fan of was their ability to move incredibly quickly, while still staying precise in their movement.
He managed to insanely easily pierce through any material he could find in the warehouse, including the metal which was used to make the warehouse, and any cages inside. He also found that he was able to pierce the ground as far as the tendrils went with no resistance, and although without any stronger materials he could not test the tendril's full capabilities, he knew that they were powerful.
As well as testing his shadow tendrils' abilities, he tested his own physical body as well. He found that he was able to run at a speed of approximately one hundred miles per hour consistently without even being out of breath. As well as this, he could lift a massive amount, as with only a bit of difficulty he could lift an old out of service electricity pylon, which after googling it he found to weigh around 20 tonnes. He did not know his true limit, as although he had a bit of difficulty, he knew he could definitely lift more, and if he used his tendrils he could absolutely lift an immense amount.
Amazed with his own strength, and having no other tests he wanted to run on himself, Damian decided it would be in his best interest to go home and enjoy himself before his supposed 'surprise' would be arriving.
Using his newfound speed, it was very quick for Damian to arrive home by foot, and when he locked his door behind him, he immediately got undressed from his school clothes and put on a pair of baggy joggers without a t-shirt. He was quite a big fan of his new body, and wanted to admire himself after his transformation.
He sat down on his bed and started to play a game on his console for a few hours, until he was rudely interrupted by the smell of smoke.
