The Emerald Hall is one of the many halls in the phantom middle school. A public school owned by the government and has been in operation for twenty years.
On this particular day, some top members of Rask Corp have been invited to the school to finalize the treatment, which includes vaccinating each and every one of the students.
Zaya had been on the line for almost an hour, she was the last to be treated, her eyes gently shimmered in hope as she stared at the wide cylinder tube the students had begun entering.
Stretching their arms wide, they were scanned by various machines and some glowing red liquid was injected into their bodies, they became perfectly human again.
To Zaya, something felt quite strange about the Rask Corp members, they looked professional but had a strange aura emitting from their presence.
Zaya's gaze then fell back on the red liquid, the thought of it being a magical potion crossed her mind.
"Zaya Lexington," called one of the Rask Corp members as he stood beside the cylindrical tube staring at some screen where their names were listed.
Zaya walked towards the tube and climbed the stairs that led into the entrance. As she entered it, she could see Ashara a few meters away in the healthy crowd staring in anticipation.
The machines whirred to life as they began scanning her body, Zaya held her breath, expecting the worst.
After scanning, the machine beeped and spoke, "Forty percent of fox genetics located, set to begin innate purification." Zaya was excited as there was nothing wrong with her after all, she joyfully stretched her hands wide as syringes began plunging into her skin.
She felt the rushing fox energy in her body subside, her human form returning to her, her claws turning to nails, her blood‑shot eyes returning to its normal state. She twirled her purple dyed hair, it was exactly the same way she'd left it. The treatment was over.
She was about to step out of the glass cube when the white bulb on the top of the cylindrical cube turned red and began flickering, the tube door shutting.
Loud alarms resounded throughout the hall, the machine beeped and then spoke, "Primordial energy detected, all civilians should evacuate now. Security measures activated."
She could see the disastrous look on the officials behind the screen, they were terrified, the whole hall transcended into chaos, they began dispersing, then the lights suddenly went off.
Along with it came a loud shriek, it then came back on. A few paces from the glass cube where Zaya stood, there was a short creature with hands and feet of a normal human, big head, large teeth and ragged, scattered hair.
With animal hide as a coat, it had purple skin and a spear slightly taller than it held tightly in its hand. It launched towards Zaya's tube and began attacking it ferociously. No one could imagine such amount of strength would come from such a little creature.
Zaya, terrified beyond all doubt, yelled in utmost bewilderment, "What in the world was going on?!" She thought, trembling.
A strong beam of blue light shot towards the purple creature, in a blink of an eye it dodged. It came from one of the soldiers that had entered the tube, he tucked his hands into his weapon as he aimed for another shot towards the primordial beast.
The lights went back off, but this time instead of coming back on, the purple goblin began to glow. Its spear became longer and wider as an unexpected powerful bolt of electricity shot from the spear's sharp edge towards the soldier's weapon, sending both the soldier and his blasters a few feet away.
"Electric goblin!!" yelled one of the soldiers who had entered the hall along with some others.
The goblin's attention suddenly focused on the cube, ready to attack again and was distracted by another beam of light which it dodged like it knew it has been coming a millennial ago.
Zaya was still in the cube, deliberating, though the officials along with everyone in the hall thought the goblin was the primordial beast.
The raging genes that subsided in her body earlier have even turned more chaotic, it was like the vaccine given before only made it more powerful.
And the sight of the goblin made it worse, Zaya's knees fell to the ground and her body throbbed.
She tried to reject it as much as she could but it was no use. Her eyes began to blur, purple fur began emerging from her skin like they were plants, her muscles expanding in her rage, she could see the cops had arrived along with some other soldiers.
CRACK! The tube broke into a thousand pieces, Zaya ultimately stunned, looked up, it was Ashara and June.
Holding some heavy sledge hammers in their hands, they've come to save her, even though it somehow felt like they were the ones in danger instead.
The battle against the goblin grew fiercer, the four girls began to flee from the scene.
As Zaya finally got out of the cube aiming for the entrance with the other two, her eyes locked to the purple goblin's location, it was fighting a dozen men, totally surrounded as they were striking it from different directions.
It dodged and parried the beams effortlessly like it was the top character in a gladiator war.
The goblin suddenly stopped its spear attacks as its gaze locked with Zaya's, who was a few feet from the entrance.
It created a powerful strike which sent the soldiers and police men flying meters away, it then bowed before a bright light shone from its body enough to blind all that were a few inches from it.
