Shock and Initiation

Four days passed, a purplish dawn sky arose with freezing wind blew on the endless desert. Moreover, there was a single, tent that looks rotten from outside views and isolated itself alone in this desert and a fossil of a humongous snake body buried half by the sandy ground with its head opened widely and the body circled around the tent like a wall.

A half-naked man with an orange turban and dirty long pants got out of the house with his naked feet. He had jet black hair and a long cloudy-like beard, saw the orange sun, and opened a sinister grin.

"It's time for me to finish my conquest." The man said in a raspy menacing tone and his eyes changed into pearl yellow light, "With this new power that I just obtained."

As the man took a step further, a blueish cold wind sneakily touched him and he stopped his movement. His eyes became petrified with this nerve-racking wind, approached him closer as he slowly turned back.

Thus, Blue Winter in his ice shell form stood a distance away from him and the man was petrifying shocked and dropped his jaw as his yellow eyes widened. Furthermore, his hands and legs shook constantly like a naked person stranded in a place with subzero temperature.

"Why are you here to ruin my day...Blue Winter?" He said in a frightened tone.

He clenched his fist and took a very long deep breath as Blue Winter got nearer to his sight. The man with yellow eyes locked to The Icy Warrior in a deep confident attitude appeared to brave up himself.

"Come on, Al Shadin, you can damage his mind." Al Shadin convinced himself within the mind as a sinister grin washed away the petrified feeling.

Hence, Al Shadin raised his finger from the left and right side on the forehead and a yellow radar-like circular wave was summoned. The yellow circular wave blitzed a high pitch, painful noise throughout the desert, and Blue Winter was caught by it.

Blue Winter kneeled down as he closed his ears from the buzzing sound, but the effort was gone to waste due to the sound was gotten higher till forced him to let out a desperate scream. As a result, Al Shadin laughed in a maniacal, yet satisfied demeanor.

"Ha, a mighty potential threat preventer Blue Winter had just fallen like a good dog." Al Shadin bickered in a glorifying manner, "Don't worry, you are going to become my eternal slave."

Al Shadin harshly pushed his hand before it engulfed a pearl yellow energy and Blue Winter's scream became worse over time. The Mindbreaker laughed in the fullest joy of tormenting The Ice Warrior, changed his icy blue eyes shift into a yellow color same as him for a mark he fell down to his control.

Afterward, Blue Winter lifted his head as his vision changed drastically from what he just saw before. Instead of desert, he was now stuck in the place where many monks, lifelessly, laid down on the snowy ground gave him a horror shock before he went down to meet a horrific presence, a the head of a ponytail man lying down on the ground with a disgraced look.

"Father, I am sorry." He murmured in sadness.

"And...you...never….be….a true Shaolin, Blue Winter." The headless man desperately spoke with a distorted voice.

Blue Winter's eyes went up in shock and froze his entire body to take the chance of moving. Furthermore, it got worse when the other disgruntled voices joined the fray. The voices taunted with various words such as:

"You….are...a ....disgrace for being…..Shaolin Warrior!"

"You….let…..the….Xan…...Xiang…..be...destroy!"

"Your…...rival.....killed….us...all!"

"We…..should....never…..….trust....you!"

All of those words stabbed through his heart and caused Blue Winter to break down in tears. The Icy Warrior rubbed the icy ground tighter and tighter before he sighed in despair and got up.

The yellow eyes corrupted his mind, and blinked out from existence as a freezing blue aura emerged on his whole body. The horrific vision that he saw, left immediately and brought him to the true reality that made Al Shadin drop his jaw and desperately retreated back like a cornered prey.

However, his attempt failed when all of sudden, his chest was punched through by the unfazed Blue Winter from behind. Al Shadin coughed a line of blood and his breathing became very hefty as his life force slowly faded away.

Thus, Blue Winter let go of his fist swiftly, resulting in his face being covered by a square faceless mask. His bloody hand was swallowed by the blizzard swarm as he gazed upon the sky in unrelenting regrets especially on the hand he used to murder Al Shadin trembling.

"Am I… still worth it to become a Shaolin?" Blue Winter deeply whined in sadness.

Makoto happily glared at the three of his creations awakened from their building process and with a confusion eyes like a person first arrived in another world. The left one was a black spiky-haired guy, half-naked with the tattoo on his chest that announced "Emo Rules". He wore jet-black long pants with a drop of blood motif on the middle parts.

The middle one was a short and violet twin-tail hair woman, she wore a blue school uniform with a long-sleeved, red mini skirt and a long white sock that covered most of her legs. The last one was a muscular manly man with a bald head, he wore a white tank top and yellowish long pants with a military motif.

A Green door-shaped portal was opened and revealed Kiri in her sleepy expression, got out from the portal. She was now wearing pink pajamas with a tidy square motif all over her clothes.

"Wow, wow, wow, you already called them earlier and I bet you are going to explain the plan, right?" Kiri asked in an intriguing tone that washed away the sleepiness.

Makoto smiled excitedly as the word bubbled hopped above his head, containing a short sentence that said, "Yes it is". Kiri groaned as she locked her curious gaze towards the three lively observant robots that were similar to those animated series, common character archetypes that she usually watched with The Green-eyed man in their spare time.

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about Hollow, I already paid him with my doctor's salary and somehow he still doesn't want to leave us, now." Kiri reminded.

The sentence of the word rolled up once again as it transformed into a new one that said, "Sure, let him be our ally" with Makoto glancing at The Doctor in a silent cheerful expression. Hence, Kiri nodded and gladly giggled.

"Why not, I need more friends other than you and Jakon." Kiri mumbled as a reminder of Jakon kicking in and she initiated another question, "Well, well, speaking about Jakon, is he still his fun time activity such as in this world."

The word bubble shifted into one-word sentence that said "Yes" as Makoto answered in furrowed botherness. Kiri nicely patted his shoulder and turned around with a smile.

"Okay, okay, then, good luck managing your observant, Makoto." Kiri exclaimed, "I have to go right now for my sleepy, morning schedule."

Makoto glared at the observant robot that was still wandering in confusion, shock, and disbelief with their existence. Therefore, he walked towards them with his hand put in the back and wrapped around r like a military trainer.

After the recovery process was done, Chemistra sat on the comfy chair alone inside the gloomy secret base. She rubbed her cheeks with her unsatisfactory and curious face when she locked to a newspaper article being trapped inside the blue screen presentation.

The title was called, "The Ice Warrior had Killed One of the Greatest Mind Manipulators Arabianca. Below the wall of text on the left side, there was a picture of Al Shadin's corpse stranded in the buried sand and had a large bloody hole on his chest. Beside the corpse, there was an icy trail being left out, which gave out a strong indication for his killer.

"I thought that Ice Warrior could be suitable to become our ally." A familiar male robotic voice called out her name and she turned back, witnessing Zero inside the small tube-shaped elevator that had a neon blue light on the surface.

The Silver Man approached Chemistra and she only sharpened serious eyes while spun her chair towards his direction. Zero crossed his arm as he tilted his attention to the picture of Al Shadin.

"No, I disagreed with your idea." Chemistra rejected with her deep voice, "I don't like working with people like him."

"I got your point, I heard yesterday, there was a Distrunian who rescued Hollow while you were at your father's house," Zero exclaimed with a chilling tone.

Chemistra was totally frozen in fear as she couldn't pick any movement from her body. While Zero only sighed in tiredness before he opened his cross arm to observed The Chemist.

"Distrunian?" She asked in horror, "Could you beat it, alongside the new hero, Sparror, or maybe Tabata if my father could convince him?"

"Sadly, that probability is only 30% chance of winning". Zero replied in disappointment, "One Distronian is usually enough to destroy the whole planet and slaughter all the people living there, especially those who had a superpower."

"Moreover, the Distrunian who came to earth recently is seemingly weaker due to his more passive behavior, but he/she is smarter than I expected due to using Hollow as an observant. if the Distrunian got the full data of us, we will have no chance of facing it." Zero added in a deep terrified tone.

Chemistra pressed her clenched fist in frustration harder like a person that tried to break a chain and Zero's alien look began to show pity with his fellow comrade. The Silver Man stare scrolled below and there was a picture of Blue Winter being trapped by a blue background in a concerning mood.

"Misaki, I understand your frustration, but we must try to ask The Ice Warrior for a temporary alliance" Zero tried to convince Chemistra, " Remember we need a powerhouse and The Ice Warrior is the same guy that froze the whole of South China country ."

Chemistra threw her frustration away from Zero before she exhaled in regrets. While The Silver Man gazed at The Chemist who was still trapped in a dilemma whether this idea was beneficial for them.

Hatoshi sat on the class chair and extended their hand on top of the class table that had an active white tablet on his side. He was accompanied by his closest friend such as Yuna beside him, more specifically on the right corner of the class that had rectangular windows, presenting a blue sky view.

While Naoki took place in front of Yuna and Satoru sat on the seat right in front of Hatoshi as landed their white tablet. Their tablet screen presented a wall of mathematical equations containing numbers, equations, and lines.

" I am still quite confused about how to find the gradient, Yuna." Naoki asked in irritation when his eyes met with the equation in his tablet and an attention seeker's smile shot at Yuna from his side, "So, can you explain more to me?"

"Sure, Naoki." Yuna cheerfully replied with a sweet smile and softly landed her finger to the screen that widened Naoki's smile.

Satoru shook his head before sighed in disappointment when he watched Naoki try to seek attention with Yuna. While Hatoshi observed his eyes to his five Superheroes drawing, trapped inside the tablet and gloomy eyes slowly appeared.

"Yo, Hatoshi, before we continue our study, have you heard the recent Superhuman news in Arabianca." Satoru asked in a curious tone.

"Well, I hadn't heard of it, what's the news about?" Hatoshi asked.

"It's about the mysterious Ice Warrior again and this time he went rogue with this recent news that he killed the victim now."

"Wow, that's quite sad and I think the manipulator guy probably messed with his head."

Satoru sighed before he resumed the conversation as Hatoshi formed a wondering face with the recent news.

"Maybe, but if The Ice Warrior appears here as a villain, I really hope the new hero, Sparror, can stop him." Satoru exclaimed in a hopeful tone, "He may lack experience compared to other heroes such as Zero, however, he had a good potential to be one of the best heroes, not only with power, but his will to work with others especially when he and the long-gone, hero Chemistra stopped Hollow.

Hatoshi chuckled in an optimistic tone and Satoru found oddness when he raised his eyebrows. Afterward, he smiled and The Glasses boy furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity.

"To be honest, I don't really care which hero is better than one another," Hatoshi said in a confident manner, "What I want is those heroes such as Sparror, Zero, and others can actually creating a Superhero team like, Delta X, Nippon Carnaval, and The High Commando.
