Chapter 53:Jayden's Power Awakening(Flashback)

My name is Jayden, I am just having a vacation in Azura Hills Province, yeah, Mateo lives in Mountain Province. Just after we arrived at my auntie's house, I saw my cousin Blake again, the same age as me.

Blake said we are going to take a stroll around this place, I agreed since it's my first time coming here. We strolled around, and saw a clearing of the mountains, I saw the rice terreces and saw the local people's.

We stumbled upon an abandoned high school, Blake said it was now abandoned for 3 years, he didn't know why it was abandoned. We climbed up the gate and entered, the entrance of it is a basketball court and also have a volleyball court, we went deeper, we peeked at the classrooms, we saw the teachers room and the principal's room.

Me and Blake both separated, to explore freely.

"Hey! Jayden! Come here!" Blake's voice echoed

I ran to him, following the voice, I saw him pointing at something to the woods down below the school.

You see that? That looked like a clearing" Blake said to me

I took a peek through the trees, I could see a grassy field, maybe a soccer field?

"Wanna go check it out?" Blake asked

I nodded at him, we both went to the woods downhill, we just went blindly deeper and deeper and closer to the soccer field, we arrived.

"Huh? Where's the soccer goal net?" Blake asked

I looked both left and right, he's right, there's no goal net, then what is this place then? We entered the middle of the field, it is a complete nothingness.

"Wonder what is this place" Blake asked

"Ooooohh, a butterfly" Blake said after he saw a butterfly

He ran around catching the butterfly like a child, what the hell is he doing? You're like 16 years old. I just looked around at the field, I am feeling something inside, something strange I have never felt before, it is very strange, I looked at the sky, there are birds.

The strange feeling still kicking in, huh? I feel like I activated something, I looked at Blake....uuuhhhhhh, what is happening? He's running at the butterfly in slow motion, huh? I looked up at the sky, the birds are also moving in slow motion.

Suddenly, I felt something deactivated, I looked at Blake, he's moving at normal speed trying to catch the butterfly, huh? What the hell? I looked at the birds in the sky, they were already gone, I looked at Blake, he stopped.

"I'm feeling something, I don't know this feeling but, it's a strange feeling" Blake said

"Uhhhh, I felt something?" Blake added

Suddenly, a guy appeared near him, looking surprised, eh? The guy is....him, the guy is similar to Blake like, a clone of him. Blake noticed something near him, he was shocked to it, his doppelganger just looked at him, suddenly it was gone.

"Hey, what was that? Did you just see that!?" Blake just said and asked

I nodded, what the hell was that, suddenly, again it appeared but, it looked shocked, wait what? It's the same shock face as Blake did when he saw his doppelganger, Blake looked to his right, he saw the other doppelganger.

"Wait what? Who are-" the doppelganger talked and stopped and vanished away

"Wait what, why does that feel like de javu, it felt like I said that and also felt like I didn't say that, hey Jayden, what is going on?" Blake said to me and asked

I shrugged, what the hell is happening, I felt something inside of me again, it felt like I could interact with something inside of me. I interacted with it.....suddenly, Blake went to a slow motion like before, I waved, he didn't wave back, he's just there, moving slowly, suddenly I felt something deactivated and Blake started too forward like normal, he looked surprised after seeing his doppelganger.

He stopped

"Hey, I can feel something inside of me like, I can interact 2 like there are 2 buttons" Blake said

Suddenly, a doppelganger of him came again, with smiles on his face like the face when he saw his doppelganger, the doppelganger looked at Blake.

"Hey, it's you again" the doppelganger said and faded away

"Hey i don't know what's happening like a memory just popped up in my head like I said something like " hey its you again" what the hell is happening man, anyway let's go home, it's nearly night" Blake said to me

We ran upwards back to the school and climbed the entrance and rushed home. After eating, we talked about the thing that happened in the field. I told him that I also felt the same thing.

"Wait what, you can slow down time?" Blake asked

I need to make some kind of evidence to prove it to him, he may believe in me but I want him to believe in me more. I told him to punch me with his right or left arm, make a headstart first so that I will know when to slow down time and block or dodge it, and I added that before I block his punch, I will pick up the pencil and block his punch.

"Okay, 3....2...1...GO!" he said

I activated the thing again inside me, Blake's arm moved slowly, I picked up the pencil on the floor and raised my hand to block the punch, I can feel something inside of me that I can deactivate it, I deactivate it like a button.

*Tek*

The sound of my hand and Blake's punch, I raised the pencil so that he could see.

"Wait what? Ain't no way, I saw it like instantly happened, I couldn't even see a blur" Blake was amazed

But to Blake tho, I still don't understand the doppelganger thing, we decide to call it powers like in the movies, we planned tommorow that we will practice our new power.

The next morning, we wake up early and get outside just at the front of Blake's home, we are on the road. We just made distance, okay, ACTIVATE.

I looked around me, it's in slow motion, the grassy fields sway in slow motion, I looked at Blake, he's not moving because he's concentrating, wonder if this can go on forever. I felt it automatically deactivated inside of me, so this isn't infinite.

I activate it again to count how many seconds I can keep my surroundings in slow motion..... Huh? It doesn't feel like activating, I kept on activating, suddenly the slow motion activated again, okay count.

1..2..3..4..5..6..7

It deactivated again, I can go only in 7 seconds, I activate to count again, and again, it's not activating again, I kept on trying for just a few seconds in and the world is in slow motion again.

1..2..3..4..5..6..7

The world started to go normal again, it is really 7 seconds, but is it spamable? I tried to activate it again, hhmmm, maybe not? Maybe it's a cool down his+)?

I slowed time and waited to finish 7 seconds, I kept on activating while the cool down.

1..2..3

The world is in slow motion now, so 3 seconds cool down? Me and Blake kept on practicing our powers, we said to each other that after practicing, we we'll share what we have learned to our our powers.

After practicing, and made some coffee

"Sooo, what did you learn?" Blake asked me

I said to him that I can slow time in 7 seconds with a 3 seconds cool down, I asked what about his.

"Well for me, I feel like I can summon my past self in 6 seconds and my future self in 8 seconds, for an example, I asked my past self to kick the rock, after that the rock just teleported like forward like it just rolled, I saw people far away going somewhere in the muddy road, I summoned my future self and asked is there something about to happen to them? I asked my future self, he replied one of those guys is going to slip, it was hilarious, my future self disappeared, I looked at the people and watch them, seconds later a guy suddenly slipped, so that was 100 percent accurate so yeah, that's for me" Blake replied

Wow, so he can make contact with future self and past self while me who can slow down time just for 7 seconds? Seriously.

A few days passed and we just practiced our power for days and days and days.
