Chapter 4: "The Beast Unleashed"
---
[Scene 1 — Prison Arrival]
John is dragged through the iron gates of Darkwell Prison, the most notorious and violent penitentiary in the country.
Inmates line up against the bars, leering and jeering at him.
> Officer Lee: (coldly)
"You don't have any rights here, John.
You're not even on record as a prisoner.
You're just... a monster in a cage."
John's eyes are hollow, his mind reeling.
He can't process what's happening.
He's thrown into a grimy cell with rusted bars and a stench of sweat and blood.
---
[Scene 2 — The Provocation]
Hours pass.
John sits on the floor, knees pulled to his chest, staring blankly at the wall.
A group of inmates gather outside his cell.
One of them, a massive brute with tattoos, sneers at John.
> Brute: (mocking)
"Heard you're some big-shot criminal. You don't look so tough."
John doesn't respond.
His hands tremble, his breathing shallow.
> Inmate 2:
"Maybe we should teach the pretty boy a lesson.
Show him how things work in here."
Another inmate spits through the bars, hitting John's face.
John doesn't even flinch.
> Brute: (grabbing the bars, smirking)
"What's wrong, little John?
Cat got your tongue?"
---
[Scene 3 — The Trigger]
Suddenly, John's eyes flicker.
His breathing slows.
> Brute: (leaning closer)
"Come on, say something. You scared, huh?!"
John's lips curl into a dark, chilling grin.
But it's not John anymore.
It's Ragnar.
Ragnar's gaze is cold, lifeless — like a predator locking onto prey.
> Ragnar: (voice calm, low)
"You want me to say something?"
Before the brute can react, Ragnar's fist crashes through the bars, grabbing the brute by the throat.
He pulls the man's face against the bars, the metal bending under his strength.
> Ragnar: (whispering)
"I'll say this...
You picked the wrong guy to mess with."
---
[Scene 4 — Destruction Unleashed]
The alarms blare.
Guards rush toward the cell, batons raised.
Ragnar steps out of the shattered cell door, his eyes blazing.
The brute is slumped against the bars, unconscious, blood trickling from his mouth.
> Guard 1: (shouting)
"Get on the ground! NOW!"
Ragnar cocks his head, eyes gleaming with excitement.
> Ragnar: (grinning)
"Or what?"
The guards charge at him.
Ragnar moves like a beast unleashed — brutal, unstoppable.
Bones snap, bodies fly, screams echo through the corridors.
> Officer Lee (watching through surveillance cameras, eyes wide):
"What the hell is he...?"
Ragnar grabs a guard by the collar, slamming him against the wall.
The concrete cracks, dust raining down.
---
[Scene 5 — The Escape]
Ragnar walks through the prison corridors, his eyes scanning the chaos.
Prisoners either run in terror or cower in their cells.
> Prisoner 1: (whispering)
"Who the hell is that guy?"
> Prisoner 2: (shivering)
"That's no man. That's a monster."
Ragnar reaches the exit gate, eyes locked on the massive, reinforced steel doors.
Without hesitation, he grabs the steel bars and bends them apart, muscles bulging under his shirt.
> Ragnar: (smiling)
"Thanks for the warm welcome, boys."
With one final, thunderous kick, the gate explodes outward, and Ragnar steps into the night, disappearing into the darkness.
---
[Scene 6 — Aftermath]
Inside the surveillance room, the officers stare at the destruction on the screens.
Bodies of guards and inmates lie motionless.
The walls are cracked, the gates mangled, and the entire prison is in disarray.
> Officer Lee: (breathing heavily)
"We just unleashed a monster... and now he's out there somewhere."
The screen flickers, showing Ragnar's dark grin, as if he's staring right into the camera.
---
[Chapter End]
The screen goes black, leaving the officers in stunned silence.
John is free... but not John. It's Ragnar.
