Biohuman

Lee Seng watched through the cracks as the monster Creator threw Mom into the other wall. Mom grunted as she landed on the ground, knocked out.

'Mom!' Lee Seng screamed in his head. The memory had taken over. Lee Seng could feel his tiny body shake in fear. He let out a sharp breath which caught the ears of the monster. The monster turned as little Lee Seng tried to run. His body wouldn't move. Broodmother swooped in and wrapped Lee Seng and pulled him into one of the cabinets. The door ripped open, landing in the hallway as a ragged breath came out of the monster's mouth. Broodmother had somehow managed to get the little Lee Seng into the cabinet in under a second!

'How did she do that?' Lee Seng wondered. 'Did this… really happen back then? I-I thought—'

"Is that little brat awake?" The Monster Creator growled. The entire room shook as loud pounding footsteps made their way around the bend. The monster howled in fury as it rushed down the hallway and into the opened door. The monster shrieked as it ripped the room to pieces before turning around and rushing into the lab. "Where are you little one?" Sniffles escaped Lee Seng's nose as a hand materialized.

'Quiet, little one. The monster can't find you if you stay quiet.' Broodmother's voice came into his head. Little Lee Seng looked up, afraid of going away as the tendril-like Mother held him close. 'The scary monster won't hurt you while I'm around, alright? Do you understand?'

'She even talked to me through my head back then… What am I supposed to even do here?' Lee Seng asked himself.

"There you are!" The counter pulled apart as Broodmother disappeared around Lee Seng. Lee Seng screeched as the monster threw the counter and glared at him. Remnants of the Creator's face and clothing were still there. The monster's arms were long enough to hold the monster up off its feet. It landed on its feet and grabbed the child. Lee Seng screeched as he was lifted in the air.

Lee Seng's tiny arms and legs thrashed as the monster spun him around and towards the door. The monster snarled as the Creator's face softened for a moment.

"Wait a minute… There's something odd about you!" The Creator's distorted voice screamed. He lifted his other large arm and with two large fingers, started to reach for something on the back of Lee Seng's head. Little Lee Seng cried while Lee Seng watched.

'Move!' Lee Seng shouted. 'C'mon, you're supposed to run! Why aren't you running how I remembered?!?' Tendrils exploded from behind the little Lee Seng, slamming into the monster's arm and face. The monster shrieked as his grip on little Lee Seng released. Lee Seng fell to the floor, caught by tendrils which quickly set him a far enough distance away.

"Go, little one!" Broodmother shouted. Her form grew. She looked exactly like the woman Lee Seng was just talking to a minute ago. "Go! Find your brother and sister! Ask for help, quick!"

Little Lee Seng ran as fast as he could. He wanted to be as far away from whatever that monster was. Lee Seng rushed down the hallway, panting as he heard a loud crash. He turned his head and watched as Broodmother slammed against the wall. Monster Creator knocked the wall apart as he stepped out and snarled.

"I should've known you went against orders, Broodmother." The monster spoke. It turned to look at Lee Seng, who turned his head and ran. "Protecting the child? Why should you protect him? They're the reason why we're this way! They're the reason he won't fix us!"

"Run, little one!" Broodmother shouted.

"Argh!" The monster rushed at Broodmother, slamming his fist against the wall as Broodmother's entire upper body exploded into tiny slugs. The monster roared in fury as he raised his large arm and smashed the lower body. "I'm coming for you, brat!"

Little Lee Seng was barely down the second part of the hall. He just needed to go down four more parts of the hall to get to his older siblings. The pounding of the monster's arms grew loud. Little Lee Seng shook as he dared not to look back.

"HELP!" Little Lee Seng shouted. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

'This is definitely what I remember!' Lee Seng thought. Little Lee Seng flailed his arms as he continued to shout for help. 'Do we make it? My memory cuts off here!'

"Rahh!" The monster swung his arm forward. The walls crumbled behind Little Lee Seng as the monster's hand missed Lee Seng. Lee Seng screamed as tears fell.

"Help!" Little Lee Seng screamed, again. His heart thumped loudly in his throat as he cried for his siblings. "KALI! AKI! HELP!"

"No, you don't, little brat!" The monster's hand wrapped around Lee Seng, pulling him backwards. The kid's screams echoed as tears blurred his vision.

'I don't remember any of this!' Lee Seng thought. The monster cackled as its hand tightened around the boy. Lee Seng screamed in pain as a flash of light and shadow appeared in his vision for a moment. Shadows flew around the little Lee Seng while the sound of the monster's screams grew loud. The large hand loosened around Lee Seng in an instant and the boy dropped to the floor.

"Lee!" Akio's panicked voice called to him. Akio formed in front of Lee Seng, giving a nervous look at his younger brother before pulling the shadows closer together.

"Akio!" Akali's voice shouted.

"Stay here!" Akio stepped out of the shadow and sounds of fighting grew. Lee Seng covered his head and assumed a fetal position as he cried for help. The sounds of fighting continued for a while until two distinct groans were heard.

'W-wait, what happened?' Lee Seng thought. Little Lee Seng lifted his head up, watching the shadows fade around him. 'Akio!' Little Lee Seng pushed himself up and turned to look down the hallway the monster and him had come. Akio and Akali were lying in crumbled walls as the large gorilla monster huffed. The Creator's face looked exhausted as his tiny legs held him up.

"Argh…! Damn, Numbers…!" The monster panted. Its large arms were bloodied. Meaty tendrils struggled to grab onto the Creator's body. "Don't… Get away… Bastard…! I will… ARGH!" The monster's arms flexed as the tendrils took full hold of the Creator. A large set of eyes grew on the arms as the Creator's face went slack. The Creator's mouth smiled as all the eyes went onto Lee Seng.

"Hahaha!" The monster cackled. "I did it! I assumed full control of this numbskull! Hahahah!" The monster lifted itself up as its flesh wounds burnt away. It looked at the little Lee Seng with a large grin as it slowly moved forward. "Now… I can end it all…" Lee Seng scrambled backwards, crying for help.

"Help me! Help me!" Little Lee Seng cried. "Someone! Mommy!"

"You're Mommy's as good as dead!" The monster chuckled. "And now you'll die!"

"HELP!" The scream rang out, triggering a loud, screeching noise. The monster's arms exploded, releasing the Creator from its hold.

"NO!" The monster shouted as its bits splattered all over the hallway.

'Wait, who did that?' Lee Seng wondered. He couldn't see anything. Little Lee Seng had his eyes shut and it was hard to retain any information.

'I can save us all… If you deem it, little one.' Broodmother's voice came into his head like a whisper. Little Lee Seng opened his eyes and that's when Lee Seng knew what was happening. The entire building shook as the tendril woman bowed to little Lee Seng with a semi-human hand reaching for him.

"My sweet child…" Broodmother smiled. "What do you wish to do?" Sniffles came from the little one and Broodmother nodded. She wiped the little one's tears away as Lee Seng felt a sudden shift. His view flew out of his body. Broodmother stood up and turned to look at the real Lee Seng.

'My sweet child… You've come.' Broodmother addressed Lee Seng. Lee Seng was taken aback by this.

'H-how… What's going on?' Lee Seng floated backwards.

"Argh, you asshole!" The monster arms shrieked. The goop of all of its parts flew together, forming a short, meaty monster with large arms. It pointed at Broodmother as Broodmother's attention moved to the meat monster. "All for a child! He isn't even yours!" A dark blip caught Lee Seng's attention. He turned to witness the tiny Lee Seng floating in the air. Lee Seng's mouth dropped.

'How is this possible?'

"Now, my little one… What shall I do for you?" Broodmother asked, again. The Creator gasped as he looked up.

"Lee Seng…" The Creator weakly called out. "Don't do it… Not again."

"Erase… him." Little Lee Seng whispered. The Broodmother nodded as she turned her attention to the meaty monster.

"You heard him… You're done." Broodmother threw her hand outwards. Thousands of tendrils exploded from her arm, filling the ruined hallway as the tendrils plunged for the meaty monster.
