The Descendants

Marcus sneaked back into the school the same way he sneaked out - to avoid trouble.

The final bell for the day rang indicating that school activities were finished for the day.

"Hey, Dom, so what are we doing now". Marcus asked as he was preparing to go home.

"We look for some kids your age that are supposed to be Minuscule's descendants". Dominic exclaimed as he got out of Marcus' body. The sharp pain that follows his liberation from Marcus' body always causes discomfort to his host.

" Can't you get out gently ".

"No".

"She isn't far from here, I can feel her".

"Are you sure you senses are still intact, caused you've been dead for like a thousand years or so". Marcus was frustrated after walking through his massive school (about five miles wide) twice.

"Its two billion years actually. I've been dead for two billion years". Dominic said angrily

"Found her, she's right over there". Dominic pointed to a beautiful lady who was putting on sneakers as she prepared to sprint.

"Are you sure that's her". Marcus asked while trying to keep his breath steady.

"So you're calling me dumb now"

"It's just that...that's Alexander Volkswagen also called Alexa Volks is a very popular female athlete. She is the fastest runner in the country and she was nominated for next year's Olympics. Her dad is a very successful businessman and her uncle is the owner of Volkswagen Group".Marcus blurted

"Well, we Minusces are unique beings.

I'm sure she's a hybrid of the Centimehn and Afenba clan, that's where she got her speed".

"Well let's go already". Marcus said 'Seems like this alliance's not so bad after all'. And this was going on in his mind.

"Don't worry old man, there is still two left". Marcus tried comforting Dominic after Alexa turned them down, she thought they were trying to prank her or joking with her.

"Don't ever call me that again, I was never old".

"Ouuu, I'm so intimidated". Marcus joked right before Dominic pushed him into a wall. "Damn you ghost".

"Who's laughing now kid, ha ha ha".

"I didn't know ghosts could be sarcastic".

Alexa was confused, she didn't know if it was a joke or if it was true. The whole concept sounds silly but the ghost made it seem real, plus he also gave a reasonable explanation for her powers. "It has to be a joke". She said and laughed it off.

Marcus, directed by Dominic walked into the college's arcade.

"Who are those on the walls, are they your past warriors or rulers?". Dominic asked innocently as they walked past some posters of game avatars.

"Yeah, they fought in the great war, about a hundred years ago". Marcus joked, thightening his face as he fought laughter back down his throat.

"I sense ingenuity in your voice"

Marcus couldn't hold back anymore, he burst into hysterical laughter, choked, coughed terribly, then with tears flowing down his face he said. "You know I could have died, right".

"That was punishment for trying to make fun of me". Dominic grinned.

"Fucking ghost". He said under his breath before continuing. "Those things on the walls are images of popular characters in games. There are some that are common to only one user -you'll see the user on the bottom left corner of the poster-. You know I forget you don't know anything about this mordernised world. Can't a tease a ghost in peace"

"I wouldn't tease me if I were you".

"Loosen up man".

"Enough with the chit chat, we have to find the other descendants".

After taking a few steps they reached the entrance and me a heavily built teenager who had the word SECURITY printed in white on his black shirt.

"You can go in here". The security spoke in a harsh tone. "It's being renovated for the tournament coming up".

"Well I'm not here to disturb the renovation, I'm here to meet someone". Marcus explained.

"Ok, your pass?".

"I don't have a pass, I just came for a friend". Marcus said smiling.

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you in without a pass. You're gonna have to wait for your friend to come out". The security said unsmiling.

"Come on man". Marcus pleaded.

"There's my job in line here. I gotta follow the rules". The security was raising his voice now. "Get outta here before I throw you out myself".

Marcus turned around and started walking back towards the exit. "I'm sorry man, but I can't get through him". Marcus said to Dominic.

"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of it". As soon as Dominic finished speaking, Marcus felt him leave his body.

Dominic rushed at the security and entered him through the nose, knocking him out by blocking his air ways. "Come on, let's go". Dominic said to Marcus as he got of the security and led the way into the tournament section of the arcade.

"Geez man, where are we going now". Marcus exclaimed, both he and Dominic were now discouraged as the second descendant, Diego Spyro also took them for a joke. Marcus suffered the most as he was dragged out of the arcade by two security guards.

"We'll soon be there, turn left".

"Don't tell me the third one is also popular". Marcus grimaced.

"No wonder they're rude". Dominic replied as they walked towards the School's music hall.
