Chapter 8 A Change

Glint looked at screens, it was all he'd done all he ever wanted he stole many things to get here from others, from everyone but something was strange again hed been studying Alex ever since he injected him with bubl serum it should have happened by now shouldnt have taken long there was no reason for it to take long he was thourougly infected yet he had no control over him it was strange though nothing to cause worry. Yet, he scanned the screen looking at the reports he thought to himself maybe i should launch an invasion of BLD steal Alex and run experiments until a red alert popped up saying Alex has been stolen by some group of people he searched the bubly system he looked into the dome he saw everything and now he kenw “Aurelion how dare you” he said to himself “humpf it seems i might issue an arrest, it keeps getting more and more “Interesting.” He got up and headed to a room lined with transparent tanks. Inside them floated clones of Aurelion.

Who was the first? I don’t know.

There were so many that you couldn’t see the end of them. Glint had cloned him. He had prepared for betrayal. If Aurelion ever turned, there would still be politicall figure on Glint’s side.If he didnt his spot would be tested, even he knew that there were cracks in the people's belief, slowly growing under the surface. BLD was heavily contributing this so he had to stomp them out quickly, swiftly and silently. 

The train arrived exactly on time. It always did. The civilian walked to his jo,b the job he did every day at the headquarters, Glints headquarters, he was one of the last remaining human workers. Everyone in his family had already been injected with the serum. Parents. Siblings. Even distant relatives he barely spoke to anymore. He was the last. The date was set. The transition was expected. Being granted a Bubl clone status was now seen as lucky. A promotion. A reward, but it just felt wrong strange otherworldly But as he passed through the gates, something tightened in his chest. The thought came unintentionally just there, “Why should i give up my humanity?”

He awoke, jumping out of his bed sun beaming on his face, he began to make his way to a cramped room where only 10 people could fit. The monthly council meeting was today he prepared himself for a barrage of questions challenging his authority and most of all to address Alex's disappearance. This was the most important it showed 2 essential things. First, Glint knows their location 2 Hes not scared to attack us from the inside he had to address this in the meeting he needed to be on their good side wheter he wanted to or not he also had to address, The council was terrible at hiding things.Too old. Too comfortable. Too eager for power. They no longer cared about BLD, they cared about themselves and only themselves. They had turned sour and uncontrollable he needed to tame them and quick.

“Ehem let us begin”John said it with an affirmative tone as he looked upon the council “I have two important things that need to be discussed”one of the coumncil members interrupted“What are these things exactly and are they really necessary we have some things wed like to say as a group” John looked annoyed he wasnt liking the idea of his speech being cut short but he hd to keep that inside separate”Go on” he said in a semi rude tone “We would liek a new leader to be appointed we have a few candidates such as miranda” John looked at them with a glare they had been bringing up this recently specifically in the past council meetings “We have said this before i am not stepping down until he have a atleast good enough leader which miranda is not” Mirandas father looked at John clearly angry at how he just blatantly called his daughter incompetent “Anyway back to the important things the first thing weve gotten form Alex being taken is that Glint knows where we are and two Hes clearly not scared to attack form the inside i would like to hear your thoughts and concerns” one council member looked at John in a strange way and put his hand up “What do you mean by he knows where we are?” John looked with a tired expression and turned directly to face him “If he can attack us in OUR base he knows where it is, got it?” the council started to mumble about and murmur all in shock and terroe even though to John it was quite simple and obvious he really didnt think the council was this oblivious, another council member rose their hand “ what do you mean about the latter?” John again looked annoyed that he thought we would get useful questions, not dumb ones. “It means he doesn't see us as a threat, although he will surely regret that thought, which also brings us on to what we should do as a response.” Another council member raised their hand,” And what exactly is that?” “I'll get to that now. We already know how perfect Bubl spray is, right? So we strike again, this time at Glints' base, not a factory, but the headquarters. We go for the heart
