Multi-Gene

The large field soon turned silent as the figure walked into the encirclement and arrived near the large fire. There was a certain type of oppressive waves emanating off that person that seem to turn the entire field deadly silent.

Stretching both his hands sideways, the figure kept turning around slowly and his eyes peered through the crowds of people. It was as though he was doing some sort of hidden scan.

"Alright, we are complete. Let the gathering official begin." The voice of a 6 year old kid rang out from his mouth and entered into the ears of everyone.

The person was also wearing a voice changing contraption.

"We also have four new members with us today. Come on out, let's get you a nickname amongst us." The leader said as he gestured to David and some other people.

David finally came out. He saw some three other people coming out with him from the other direction.

"Now to give you code names." The 6 year old kid voice said after pondering for a while.

"You with the snake mask, u shall be called Serpent. Python is already chosen by someone else." As soon as he said that, the 200+ people shouted out loud in unison.

"SERPENT!"

"And you with the Red eyed Rabbit mask shall be called Mouse . Since Rabbit is already taken."

"MOUSE!"

After naming the third person, he finally turned and he pointed at David. David was put into despair. Zara, no Red Lion was right, he might actually be called Blood Hound.

"Since you are with the Blood Wolf mask and since its already being chosen, you shall go by Blood Hound."

"BLOOD HOUND!" The rest of the people their immediately said in unison in a thunderous noise.

David immediately closed his eyes. Blood Hound? Couldn't they just find a more befitting and cool nickname for him like the Exterminator, the vanquisher or something like that.

"Since we have given you the names you shall be called by, you are officially a core member of our group, the Dark Phantom."

"You will be granted a list of Combat Techniques and Exercising manuals unique to our organisation. And you can only select three of those and they would immediately be sent to your designated chosen location." The leader began to explain some of their do's and don't.

"We do not use the techniques learnt from the institute when we are out on a mission as that would expose your true identity with just a bit of digging, which is why you have being given the grace to learn three particular combat techniques or exercising manuals, only unique to our us, so that you can battle and each time you battle, you represent us." The person began to explain. And although his voice was that if a kid's everyone took him seriously.

"Now, by the end of this meeting, Cloud Whale, Fierce Bull and Soaring Chick, you guys take the newbie on an easy mission, test their capabilities, and their talents of improvement, and grade them accordingly. They have no need to listen to serious knowledge and conversation as of yet, might prove detrimental instead."

The leader called out to three people who immediately stepped out and nodded in agree meant in unison.

"Follow us." The one called Cloud Whale said and they walked out of the encirclement.

David and the other three new people, Serpent, Mouse and Hypno Fox also walked out of the line and followed them.

Before he left, Zara nodded at him and whispered. "Try to show off your worth, but don't expose too much if your ability."

David nodded his thanks to the advice and followed the people that had been tasked to lead them.

Contrary to expectation, they were lead back outside to the market. After which, Cloud Whale, Fierce Bull and Soaring Chick began to discuss amongst themselves in a hush tone, totally ignoring the four people they were tasked to give missions to while they strolled through the still busy market at this time of the day.

David and the other three students could do nothing but only follow them.

They also couldn't discuss amongst themselves as they didn't want to disclose each others identity.

This went on for a about 15 minutes and before the new students knew it, they had already reached a deserted part of the street.

"Okay, this is the place." Fierce Bull casually stated. Suddenly, they each leapt to the top of a very high building, leaving the words. "Do not follow us."

David frowned and felt like they were being treated a bit too coldly. But he calmed himself down and leaned to the side of a street lamp that wasn't working any longer.

The other three new students were confused but also did their own thing.

Approximately three minutes later, there was the sound of several footsteps coming from the opposite side of the streets as nine people in different masks of popular celebrities revealed themselves.

It looks as though they were also members of A Dark Organisation but a different one.

Suddenly, the sly voice of Cloud Whale reverberated from the top of the building as he said "Haha, Tom Cruise, Jill Valentine, you guys came just too late. I was hoping you might have being ambushed on your way by the institute but sadly, it doesn't seem to be the case. "

The new people who had just arrived stayed at a far distance.

One of them who was putting on a Tom Cruise face mask snorted loudly as he replied. "Do not worry, we wouldn't be caught before you guys. This time, I was just making sure the championship stays with us. Since we had always won anyway. Hehe " As he was dunking out words with Cloud Whale, the two old core members were instructing the new members on what to do.

Cloud Voice seem to pause but he still retorted. "Wasn't it because your organisation choses to take in students recklessly without even checking for their talents and. You will be doomed sooner or later since your organisation doesn't really have any talent of note worth."

"Don't be naive Cloud Whale. Quantity would sooner or later outperform quality. This has always being the case during this test but you people just don't learn. Choosing to accept only talents? What a joke. Even a powerhouse would fall once he is being surrounded, not too talk about these kids." Jill Valentine piped in from the side with a snort.

With his night vision, David clearly saw one of the old members wearing a Jean Claude mask place a syringe of unknown uses in the hands of the new members who was wearing the Jason Statham, while saying somethings secretly to his ears.1Although David wasn't aware of what that was, he instinctively got a bad feeling from it. 

The person with the Jean Claude mask seem to have felt David's stare. And turned to glance at David. But David didn't shy aware, thinking the person would at least be embarrassed of his actions and hide away the serum.

But he was wrong. The person wearing the Jean Claude mask merely winked at him and also seem to be smiling through the mask, before resuming what he was doing.

It was blatant cheating and the person obviously didn't care that he had been caught.. David was stunned.
