Chapter 5

Jayna got into one of their cars, I sharply followed and she drove off like a driver carrying a band of thieves who just robbed a bank and was being chased by the cops. They rushed into the other two cars while some others hopped into a couple of motor bikes and started chasing us. What was supposed to be the most daring moment of my life simply turned out to be the best, I was thrilled. After all, I have watched loads of movies with high speed car chase scenes

It didn't take so long before the chase started to get challenging. Realizing they were already gaining on us, I knew it was only a matter of time before we eventually got caught. I stared at space for a while, then looked through the side mirror, things really weren't looking great.

Then I yelled stop!

She didn't stop until I pleaded “Please stop”. The words “Shut up, you're pissing me off” was written all over her face, she then pushed the brakes really hard, causing me to hit my head on the dashboard despite the fact that I was using seat belt. Such cruelty!

She sighed “What's the problem?”.

“You need to let me drive!”.

She had a rather confused expression on her face, I knew what the next question would be so I told her she needed to trust me. They already caught up and were slowly approaching us. Suddenly the tries started rolling, leaving a loud screech. The friction filled the whole place with smoke, causing them to start firing their guns. The car zoomed off after the tires left a large circle on the road. Shocked, so she asked.

“Where did you learn how to drive like that?”.

“I happen to play a lot of GTA” I said as I adjusted the gear, steered the wheel and increased the speed, allowing me to drift.

I looked to the side mirror and watched as a bullet went straight into it, shattering and knocking it off the car. Their was another car right behind us. These guys just never give up. I sighted a parked truck couple of metres ahead of us, I opened the door and made it hit the truck which caused it to break apart, sending it straight into the other cars windscreen. They crashed with the truck while I and Jayna waited for a classic explosion...there wasn't any explosion!.

Several bikes came from the other side where Jayna was and started shooting. Luckily, I was able to get a gun from one of those guys during our earlier encounter so I gave it to her. She aimed for the engine and made a clean shot which sent it crashing with the other bikes, leading to a series of other escalating mishaps...still no explosion!.

“I cannot believe that still didn't explode, I literally hit the engine”. She complained.

Meanwhile, Jordan got a little worried then went to find me since he's been trying to reach me but I didn't answer, or I couldn't answer since I was in a bit of a situation, buuuut...he had to get pizza first. After getting his change from the pizza guy, he noticed several cars moving with high speed. Just as he was about to name that the coolest thing ever, he saw me drift right past him, if it was someone else then I would have gotten the worst curses I could never ask for. Our eyes clashed. Believe it or not it all happened in slow motion.

“Kyle?!” he said.

“Jordan?!!” I said..

“Jordan?!!!” Jayna said...

“What the butt!” we all said.

“Thats so awesome!” he yelled.

I immediately drove away as the chase wasn't over, he looked to his left and before his eyes was a fully armored SUV car juuust waiting to be handled the right way. A tear drop rolled down his face as he muttered “Yeah!”. Who could blame him, all that in just one day? Anyone would summon the tears of joy.

I drove for a while and realized we might have lost them, but just as we were about to start ululating inside the car, the last one appeared a few metres ahead and waited. I already understood the language he was speaking as he revved up his engine, and I was ready. I flexed my fingers on the wheel, adjusted the gear, my car went vroomity vroomity. We were now both speaking the same language. Patience is the key in a contest like this, you gotta learn how to take your time and experience the feeling as the adrenaline rushes in, until it's finally time to strike, which was now.

We both accelerated towards each other, our tires leaving off a loud screech with smoke everywhere. Then a car came from no where and collided with theirs, sending it tumbling some distance away. And just as the driver stepped out of the car, BOOM...it exploded!!!.

“No, way!” I said

“So what, ours wasn't worthy enough for an explosion?”. Said Jayna

Jordan walked up to us, along with his box of pizza. Thanks to him we were able to get rid of those guys.

“Hey guys! Did-yo-did you see that” he pointed towards the exploded car in excitement. “I just hit a car full of bad guys and it exploded, how cool is that?!”. Now he's starting to sound like Ryan Reynolds playing ‘Free Guy’, not only I'm I glad that he's here, I'm also happy that he brought food. I'm starving!.

We got into the car Jordan came with since that one seemed more comforting and cool, then we told him about all that's been happening and why we were in the car chase.

“That's crazy” he said.

“I know right, that's why we need his help. Prof Mathews is the only one we can trust now, I hope”.

“So that's where we are headed?” Jayna asked.

“Yeah, they're probably done with the training already. By the way you guys missed training” Jordan said.

“Yeah that includes you” Jayna replied.

It's our daily routine for us abnormals to train everyday after school just so we can get stronger and avoid being useless when there's a bad guy around.

“You are late! Where have you three been?”. Prof Mathews asked worriedly. I had to tell him. I wanted to tell him. I didn't know how to put it and I just couldn't stand there thinking about how to put it so I just talked.

“Um... Ego lives inside of me”. I get it, not the best way to put it but I couldn't think of a much better way.

“They are trying to kill him, guys from the bureau. They most have found out somehow that Ego is inside of Kyle” Jayna exclaimed.

“Are you sure?” Prof Mathews asked.

“I saw it myself, Kyle transformed into Ego right in front of me.” she continued “at first I thought it was him but...”

“I knew this was gonna happen” Prof Mathews Interrupted. That last statement immediately caught my attention.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“I'll explain that to you later. What bothers me is the fact that they're willing to take the life of an innocent boy just so they can destroy Ego. I get that they're desperate but it goes against everything they stand for”.

Suddenly, I heard a voice say “Really, they wanna kill him? Just cause he's got some evil psycho inside of him. That just proves one thing, they're even more messed up than Ego is. I wish they could all just BURN. Not only is that crazy, it's also bonkers, wacky, meshugge, deranged, loco. They are just a bunch of maniacs trying to kill a NERD and they don't even realize how embarrassing that is”.

That's the last member of the abnormals. I call her the flame empress since the word 'BURN' happens to be her daily mantra. Somehow whenever she's around, I get this weird chill and funny enough, we actually used to be friends. That was until she changed. No one wants to be on her bad side cus she's just as dangerous as Jayna. And her father (LORD SUPREME) I'm sure you remember him, also happens to be the one who wants to kill me. Her name...Roxy.
