The Darkest Awakening Vol. 2.5

Season 15: Chapter 2: Day 2

Brad's POV

It is already the next day. Aren put hidden scans in Luke's room so that I could collect data. Wow, Luke and I really swapped personalities. I am the one doing the research while Luke is the sick one. I went to the counter and got myself a Vegemite sandwich which is unusual because I never ate a Vegemite sandwich for breakfast. Or any time of day. Maybe because I have everyone's powers and their personalities and habits are on me now.

Calum: Weird, Brad, you never eat Vegemite sandwich. I thought you don't eat that kind of stuff.

Brad: I know, I think because I have your powers, I also have your personalities and habits. Like what's happening to the point that I can't cook and Michael can't cook.

Connor: Brad, you never cook.

Brad: And at the same time, I can cook. Probably because some of us can.

Connor: What other personalities and habits have you been having that you never usually do.

Brad: Writing with my left hand? I mean, Niall and Blake are left-handed and Zoe is ambidextrous. Why would I write with my left when I'm usually right-handed.

Connor: Anything else weird to you?

Brad: I knew how to speak multiple languages like Maori, French, Afrikaans, Irish Gaelic, Chinese, Scots Gaelic, Spanish, Japanese, Vietnamese, Greek, Hindi and Norwegian.

Connor: Not unusual, it's good you're speaking other languages.

Brad: I mean, because I have everyone's powers, I have everyone's personalities and habits.

Then, I noticed someone is packing up upstairs. Is someone leaving? I went upstairs and Luke is packing up to leave. I then went up to him.

Brad: Luke, what's going on?

Luke: I'm leaving for a while, I'm worried that I might have the coronavirus because I might get you guys sick. So I will just stay at my house with my brothers and my parents nearby.

Brad: Really? Hmm...

Luke: Still like your thinking face, Brad, I won't forget it once I'll be at my house for a while. See ya.

Luke left and walked back to his house next door. Then, Caleb came up to me, unexpectedly.

Caleb: Wow, Luke really is leaving.

Brad: Crikey! Caleb!

Caleb: What is it, Brad? Also, why did you just say 'crikey?' You never say that.

Brad: Weird. But we barely know each other, how did you know I never say 'crikey?'

Caleb: Because you're British and you guys don't say that. Only Australians say that.

Brad: That's racist, Caleb. Also, I don't usually say 'crikey.' Maybe because having all of your powers mean that I also have your personalities and habits. What is wrong with me?

Caleb: Guess, ever since you swapped roles with Luke, everything has been so weird. Nothing like we're used to. I mean, I don't understand why this has been happening.

Brad: I know, it's like my mind is messed up or something. With all your personalities mixed up with mine. I dunno why this has been happening. Nothing is making sense.

Caleb and I went downstairs and everyone looked confused. Everyone looked at a window from our house to Luke's. I dunno what's going on. Is this commotion about Luke leaving the house?

Brad: Guys, what's going on?

Sierra: Luke's leaving.

Brad: He told me about that, he's leaving because he's sick and he doesn't want us to end up like him.

Harvey: Because of this pandemic?

Brad: Probably.

Wendy: He just doesn't want to get anyone sick.

Devan: Neither of us want to get sick.

Brad: More mysteries, this is getting weird. From me with everyone's personalities and Luke being sick. I thought we are immune to the coronavirus.

Harvey: No, I don't think that's true.

Bea: Yeah, we are all humans, we get sick at any time and day.

Brad: All human? Then why do we have those supernatural powers?

James: Look, mate, these powers come from our amulets. But for the dark syndrome heroes, it came from their minds.

Brad: I get it, but what about the Zodiac heroes?

Tristan: We'll find out, let's head to Aren.

Brad: Alright, follow me.

We went to the storage closet to head to headquarters. I soon met Aren in the meeting room.

Brad: Aren, I dunno what's going on but I've been experiencing symptoms.

Aren: Symptoms? Of what? Are you getting coronavirus like Luke?

Brad: No, I have everyone's powers and personalities. I can even write notes, Luke usually does that, but I don't usually do that. I keep on saying Australian words when I'm British.

Calum: Well, some British words were used in Australian English but maybe that makes sense.

Aren: We need to give you tests to see if you are right. Because you've been telling me that you have everyone's personalities. Because you have everyone's powers as well. We'll give you a test. Follow me. You lot can follow.

We followed Aren to the med bay where heroes get treated. Along with being tested for any illnesses.

Aren: So sit on this bed and I'll try to test you.

Brad: Alright, so what are you going to do?

Aren: I will scan you and see if having everyone's personalities is a side effect of having everyone's powers. Just lay down like you do while you were in the hospital.

Brad: Alright.

I laid down on that bed and I remembered something, I shouldn't remember. Then, I have someone else's memories while sleeping on hospital beds. Calum's hospitalization when he was 15, Devan's hospitalization around 6 months ago, Troye's hospitalization the same time as Devan, Ashton's hospitalization the on their first day in New Zealand, Raphael's hospitalization after Devan and Troye's, Kan's hospitalization after an operation, Aidan's hospitalization after a head trauma, my hospitalization in Singapore, Connor's hospitalization before heading to Singapore and George and Blake's hospitalization in Christmas Island. I closed my eyes and I felt the scan taking place.

Aren: Alright, we're done, you can get off now.

I opened my eyes and got myself a panic attack.

Connor: Brad!

Reece: You alright, mate?

Brad: Can't breathe.

George: What's going on?

Aren: Looks like Brad had memory of being on a hospital bed.

Bindi: Of course, he has cystic fibrosis.

Aren: Not just his memory, also Calum, Devan, Troye, Ashton, Raphael, Kan, Aidan, Connor, George and Blake's memories too. He also has everyone's memories. This is really a side effect of having everyone's powers.

Connor: Aren, he is seriously having a panic attack.

Aren: Another symptom! He has cystic fibrosis, put him on oxygen.

George: He's clearly on oxygen right now.

Yuto: She meant oxygen mask.

Aren: I got it.

Then, Aren put an oxygen mask on me. I felt everything blurry and everything went dark.

Connor: Is he going to be okay?

Aren: He'll be fine, he should be up by tomorrow.

The end...
