Chapter 3: At The Same Time...

All of Dan's excitement subsided after he transformed back to normal. He still does not know how to transform into his alter-ego or revert back to his normal form. He felt tired all of a sudden. His body could not bare all the extra energy recieved from the transformation. He lay down flat on the bed and fell asleep.


Dan woke up in the middle of the night. He heard a familiar voice screaming:


"Stop following me! Leave me alone! Stop! I didn't mean it!"


Dan looked through his window. He knew this person screaming.


It's his childhood friend Chino.


Chino is a loner. He spends almost all his time alone, listening to music, and adoring his pet iguana named Troy. The only person Chino speaks to is Dan, whom he knew for almost 10 years now. They are both in Achitecture, and both are planning to be in the same architectural firm. The rarely argue, in fact, Chino never even makes enemies, because he never speaks to anyone else.



This made Dan very curious. This was the first time Dan heard Chino scream, and it's also the first time he saw Chino running for his life. Dan opened his window, removed the grills, and started climbing down the fire hatch. As he stepeed out of the final step of the ladder, an officer bumped into him.


"Bossing, what's the problem here?" Dan asked.


"Kid, it's best you stay away from police matters, we are after a juvenile who was allegedly the mastermind of the Ateneo Chemical Lab Explosion, so get out of the way and go home!" Replied the officer.


This made Dan even more curious, and at the same time, nervous. So nervous that his temperature was beginning drop. Dan was feeling cold. It was as if he was submerged in a pool of ice.


The officer asked,


"Kid, are you okay? Let me bring you to the nearby health center! You don't look well!"


Dan replied, "No...I'm okay, you can go ahead, i'll be coming...back...home..."


The officer left,and continued on chasing down Chino. Dan was left on the pavement, still shivering from the cold as his temperature still continues to drop. Dan was beginning to hallucinate,and once again, began seeing double, triple and quadruple. Dan knew that he was mutating again. Wanting no one to see what he has become, Dan used his remaining amount of strength to crawl behind a trash dump.


Dan's exoskeleton was forming again, and he became vermillion in color. The helmet spouted, and he became Ipisman once again.


"Ugh, not now! I need to find Chino!" Said Ipisman.


Ipisman used his brand new wings to fly out of the area. He used his super-vision to track down Chino. In a matter of seconds, Ipisman found Chino hiding behind a couple of trash cans in a tight alley. Ipisman flew down.


"Who are you! I didn't want the Chem Lab to explode! Leave me alone...or else!"
Screamed Chino.


Ipisman, still surprised of Chino yelling, replied,
"Chino, I know you, you would not do such a thing...or did you? Tell me Chino! I need to know!"

Ipisman knew that the explosion had something to do with his mutation. He would really want to know what happened, but Chino persisted on telling it's not his fault. Ipisman then drew a blade from his arm, unconciously.


"No! I don't want to hurt Chino! What am I doing?!"


"You are weak Dan, this is how to draw some answers! You need to threaten him a little, you see!"


"No! Stop it! Stop!"


"Hmph! You don't need to see this if you don't want to! Get lost!"


And Ipisman took absolute control of Dan.


Chino started to tremble with fear, as Dan's alter ego took over and pointed the blade on Chino's head.


"Don't kill me! It's NOT MY FAULT! LEAVE ME ALONE!", Chino yelled.


The place suddenly began to heat up. The steel garbage cans Chino was lying on began to melt. Something's not right, Ipisman thought. He looked at Chino, and was shocked to see steam bursting out of Chino's pores.


"It's not my fault! I told you to leave me alone! Now you're just pissing me off!"
Uttered Chino.


A bright light suddenly engulfed the alley. Just before Ipisman knew it, Chino disappeared and a mysterious figure appeared infront of him, pointing a blade, this time in Ipisman's head.


"How does it feel to be in my place? Not so good eh?"


"Who...are you? Where's the other kid?"


"You're dumb. Don't you see?! Chino and Troy are now one!"


Ipisman was shocked. It was not Chino he was facing anymore. It was pale, green, and had a tail. His hair resembles that of Chino, and standing near him would be enough to make you tremble.


"That explosion killed Troy, but I got something better!"


"I wanted to make Troy live forever by altering his genes, but instead, I caused a deadly chain reaction that blew up the Chem Lab. When I woke up, Troy was gone. I stood up, looking at my feet. They were different. They were green and scaly. I hurriedly rushed out of the remains of the lab and ran as far as I can. I looked at myself. I am one with Troy!"


The story made all things clear. Chino caused the explosion, which turned both of them that way, and it hapened all at the same time. It was a curse they had to bear.


"Enough of this, now you know how I feel! I feel...exhilirated! And be proud, because you are the first one to try the fire of Dragon Katol!"


Katol opened his palm, and concentrated his energy on it. Fire suddenly bursted out. He pointed on Ipisman, and blasted a heat wave, which rendered Ipisman out cold. Katol felt the PNP coming. He figured they must have seen the bright light when he morphed. He concentrated energy in his feet and blasted away, out of sight.


Dan woke up in a hospital bed. He could not remember anything that hapened the night before. He could not remember Katol or anything that happened to him. All he remembered was taking to Chino, and fighting for control with Ipisman. Dan lied down on his bed again, tired from the moprhing process. He took a newspaper and read the headline.


"Explosion in Quezon City; 1 Wounded, Origin still unknown"

Ipisman V.2

By Popular Demand,

I am finally digging up this blog from its grave, and I'll start posting once again after a long hiatus. I have also proof-read my latest posts, and re-editted my header pic, (finally) so it's less hassle for the people who fix the wrong grammar in their minds. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 2: ipisMAN

The heat subsided. Dan felt something acting up deep inside his bowels once again. He knew something was not right. He began to recall what had happened in the past, that made him this way. He flashed back Ateneo, his lessons, his friends, his teachers, the chemistry lab, a couple of suspicious characters, his job, McDonalds, slipping in a puddle, eating a cockroach, waking up home..."wait." He suddenly blurted out. Chemistry lab, a couple of suspicious characters, a cockroach that caused abnormal bowel movements... "Something IS not right" he figured. He fixed up the pieces, and he formed a conlusion. The cockroach he ate was radioactive. He remembered visiting the chemistry lab to examine the architectural design of the place. As he strolled across the narrow pavements of the lab, Dan was amazed on what he saw. A cockroach, yellow in color, was flying around a small cage. Dan veered his head closer to the cage to be able to see more of this creature he had never seen before. He was amazed. This cockroach was agile, unlike any other cockroach he saw. It was strong, so strong that when it beats it wings, it creates shockwaves that was distributed inside the cage. He was awestrucked. Dan read the nameplate on the cage. "Cockroach Beta 1.7, specimen #82, UNSTABLE! Keep away from outside..." As Dan was finishing reading the plate, two unfamiliar faces then barged in the lab.

"GET OUT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! THIS IS TOP SECRET INFORMATION YOU ARE DEALING WITH!"

One of the people yelled.

"Oh, um, i'm sorry. I was just here to examine the architectural design of the Chem lab. I was looking around..."

Dan replies.

"Hmph. Nonetheless, get your face out of here. Marami pa kaming gagawin...na hindi dapat makita ng ibang tao..."

Dan hurriedly rushed out of the room, in fear of what the two might do to Dan.

"Yes! that cockroach I ate, must be the cockroach I saw in the..."

Dan dropped on the ground, grasping his stomach. He began seeing double, trpile, quadruple, until suddenly he began seeing distant objects, and also bacteria. He began hearing things he had not heard before, like the eerie screams of the insects, and the yells of bats. He was sweating cold liquid out his body. His skin was discoloring, turning into a vermillion as he continued on grasping his stomach in pain. He grew a thick shell in his chest, arms, and legs.

"Uurrrkkk...whats happening...WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!"

He sprouted wings in his back. It flapped conituously as Dan's pain continuously rises, until suddenly,

The pain stopped.

Dan stood up, wondering on what's hapening. He began walking around the house. It had a different feeling now. He doesn't feel the constant pain when he walkes on his calluses. He does'nt feel tired after jogging around. He felt like a new man. He walked around, and stopped on a mirror.

He wondered who he was looking at. It wasn't that ordinary, average guy he's had seen through the mirror for all those years anymore. It was an alien-like creature, with a helmet, similar to a cockroach's. It was yellow and had wings, and it had an exoskeleton, fiery enough to scare even the toughest of SWAT teams. This "alien" was Dan now.

"Unstable...so this was what it meant. I'm one with the cockroach now..."

"I am...IPISMAN"

For those who didn't, this would be a nice opportunity for you to know the story. This story revolves about Dan, the main character. He became Ipisman after eating a Bio-Roach, which happened to escape because of 2 fools who sabotaged the Ateneo Chemistry Lab. Ahh, just read it.

Sorry i couldn't put the comic in the site. It was way to big for my blog space to handle. I'll just put a link here, But I'll put a little previews! Look down:

This is Dan. The Hero.

Cool huh.

The Big-eared Rat.

Once upon a time, there lived a group of intelligent animals, all of which handle the business around their biosphere. they are being led by a peculiar creature, a duck. She was loved by all, and her little helpers did all they could to get her happy. The duck's most loved assistant was a rat. This rat was not cute in appearance, actually, he had a pair of large ears, and each ear was big enough to cover a whole cake saucer. This appearance nver changed the ducks look on him. They had a lot of good times together. They enjoyed their work, gathering up tiny bits of facts all around their surroundings, interviewing the small animal life, the ants, bees, and crickets, to the large ones, the tigers, lions, and eagles. They were very successful.

The duck had a superior. She was an ancient lizard, who lived for hundreds of years. She walked upright, as if human, and she was the wisest of them all. The superior then called a meeting. But this meeting was no ordinary meeting. It was an important case regarding an imbalance in the biosphere. The meet was held in the nest of the pidgeon. The pidgeon was a very useful animal, for he is there to help at times when the group feels a lot of pressure. His nest houses a lot of space, big enough for the whole group to fit and stay the night. There, all the group members came and spent the night, working their wits off.

The group then started to discuss about the problem of the biosphere. It was highly confidential, and if the information they were talking about hapens to slip, then the whole group's works, files, and the data will be rejected by the Octopus and the Curly Chimp, who were the heads of the bioshpere. The rat, having a relation with the Octopus, started to listen to the conversation. He had a plan to drop the whole group, and start one of his own. Using his big ears, he picked up every bit of information he could from the conversation. he later told the whole story to his superior, the Capibara. The Capibara was furious. He punished the group for the deeds they commited...

The group was startled. They knew that every member had an oath of loyalty to the group, thus everyone will be trusted NOT to release any word about ANY conversation. They held a tribunal regarding this, and one member was found guilty.

The Rat.

They trusted the rat. The rat disobeyed the rule, to start his own group which will overthrow his old one. He broke his bond with his best friend, the duck, for his own will. He failed to be a good member of his own group where he was loved and respected, even in the way he was. Greed and power took over him, and he also had the apetite for destruction, for the group later found out that the rat was planning to destroy the group base to destroy any work done by them. The rat was punished badly for what he has done. He was exiled to a marsh where anyone who enters, shall never get out.

The rat was never heard of...again.

Math Quiz Bee.

"One last time, for old times sake" I said to myself.

I really dont remember the last time I joined a math quiz bee,

i dont even remember joining a quiz bee in my whole high school life.

Then came the day.

I was half-late in school. Thh bell rang, and i was rushing to my class. I found out that it was the eliminations for the prestigious Math Quiz Bee. I took the test like i would normally would, and just hope for the best.

My best was not good enough.

I got a 6/10, which was 2 points below the top scoer in our class, who got 8/10

All hail EJ bagacina. :D

The next day came, again, half-late. I hurried to my class and in great surprise, i was in!

I was in a team of three:

AJ Sarmiento (I got 6/10)

Luigi Victorio(he got 7/10)

EJ Bagacina(All Hail. he got 8/10)

It starts tomorrow, from 8 to 10 am.

Lets just hope for the best and watch out for further posts.

And i'll be posting the pilot comic of my own Ipisman series.

ENJOY!

Welcome to my WORLD!

A poem by me.

Cinderella

You left the Fall,
Escaped the Ball,
Your mourning doll,
Left so small…

Crying, Weeping,
Then you came,
Asked: “Why Darling?”

“My dreams disturbed,
You keep calling”
Dazed, awakened, conscience
Hoarding.
My little soul,
Forever dozing…

I look down, your cold
Sweet heart, sold
To Hades, he has hold

Breathe, Breathe, each
Smog you Breathe.
He left you in that
Case, set forth beneath

Escape, Escape, please,
Dare to Escape
I am here, waiting,
Till time, to date

What do you think?
