When we last left off, I was in the usual school trouble by the popular girls and my dear friend was willing to defend me, but that all stopped when an armed gang came to the school and cause a ruckus.
I was unfortunatly chaught by the man who ordered the shooting on our school, had my body broken, and the people I was hiding in were gunned down without remorse. When all hope felt lost, I suddently awakened a dorment power that will inevitably catch the villain's attantion.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking at my glowing arm like it was a christmess ornament, when I heard some of the gangsters coming in. I came out to face the gangsters, and screamed.
Kiyoshi (me): Where's Koushu! You'll feel my wrath if you don't let me through.
I than tried as i might to try and shoot anything from my arms, but no matter how much I focused there, it didn't seem to do anything, causing the gansters to make fun of me.
One of the gangsters: What are you trying to do? Poop so hard you explode?
Another of the gangsters: Just another attampt to break us? Maybe join the circus!
Yet another of the gangsters: What did you've eat just to make your arms glow like a light bulb?
I was prepared to give up when I knowtist that a metal chair in the back of them, particular an in door stool that was a bit out of the way, was tilting slightly, so I focused further on it. And it swept them across the floor, but I was still crushed by the incoming projectile, yet still a bit active from it.
I tried to get back on my weakend feet, but barly had any strength in me yet. I saw the gangsters getting up, ready to fire upon me to kill me before I could do anything else, so I tried to focus on them, to launch them away from me as possible. I didn't thought I could save anyone anymore, let alone reach Koushu after breaking my body to the position it was in now, all I needed now was to run out of there alive.
I was capable of throwing their guns out of their hold, and they flew in all directions, preventing them from knowing where to go. But my strengh was too low for me to continue, and I collapsed here and there, still breathing, yet uncouscous, leaving me open to the gangsters.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When I reawakened, I was in the main lobby with many other people, my wrists and ankles tied to prevent me from moving. I looked around to see the gangsters staring at us, among them being the towering villain from earlier.
Genesis: You'd really think I wouldn't waste an opportunity like this?
I got up as much as I could before trying to talk with him, Not seeing that my mouth was duct tapped. When looking around in panic, I realised not everyone was there, since Wijemanne's popular girls group and my friend Koushu were nowhere among the hostages, and. I was than given the opportunity to speak after one of the gangsters took off my tape.
Kiyoshi (me): *Blaw, breathing* Where Koushu! Where's W-Wijemanne ! T-t-tell me now!
Genesis: How fighsty. Definitly grown after the hour. Too bad for you kiddo.
He than looked at a gangster at the distance.
Genesis: Show him what I've fought against.
The gangster than moved out of the field. I knew from here that he was going to show me what was left of Koushu, but I didn't wanted to think of Koushu dying there, especially after the sadistic streak that this man is going through. Before the guy returned, we heard sirens outside.
Police: Open up the lobby, immidiatly! And no one would get hurt!
This megaphone scream seemed to have annoyed the man slightly as he went outside.
Genesis: I won't be here for a bit, so how about you all stay where you are, and tell the man that left to stay with them as well?
After that, he went through the front door to battle the police, leaving the gangsters for their own meddeling. Gunfire was heard as the battle outside ensued, with screams and beatings heard on the other side.
I didn't wanted to be a chicken, now seeing that disaster was almost visible, and I tried to use my powers again, to try and remove the rope that binded by limbs, but it was seemingly harder to do than before. I rocked hard trying to do something, even frightening some of the gangsters, but than I heard a sound of hope.
Suddntly arriving hero: Crush down!
The ceiling in the lobby collapsed in the middle, luckily a region with no hostages, and from it came out 3 heroes, ready to take the gangsters down. The one to have crashed the ceiling was a man in a red leotard with white lines, arms that have red cement bricks sticking out of them like an exo skeleton, and a head covered in a heavily modefied construction helmet. Since I was planning to be working with the heroes at one point and did some research, I knew the hero as a B rank that goes under the identity of Crushet.
One of the gangsters: What the fuck?!
Sudd-{Crushet}- hero: Who's ready for a whecking next!
Crushet was using his arms and a new layer of bricks he formed on his back, to block some of the bullet force coming from the pistols. With the defense, he quickly closed in on the closer gangsters, and was beating them down without problem. He was ofcourse open from the back, but the other 2 heroes were close behind him.
The 2nd hero to come in was Solar rays, another B ranked who was dressing similerly to a character from the previous world, with red heat resistance goggles that works well for her power over light and flames, and was also wearing a tank top and utility pants that let's her fly around. The 3rd hero was a C ranked named Freezane, who's white power suit was designed to prevent himself from freezing, and was the smart one of the trio.
Solar rays: Woh Ho! That's quite the fun!
Freezane: Can you please not overuse your flames?! Crushet was already threatening to everyone immidiatly!
Solar rays: Right! Sorry captain commander sir!
Since Freezane wasn't a combatent, and Solar rays was easily the youngest of the group, they were mainly focusing on the hostages, trying to free as many as possible. I was among the first they were freeing from the ropes, and I was quick to wanting to help.
Kiyoshi (me): T-Thanks. Mind if I'd help you? I think I have a power, but I don't have much control in it.
Freezane: Maybe at high school or something, We don't have time for you to use your powers, or be useful in the fight.
Solar rays: Don't worry! there's always next time!
The 2 were slowly freeing the other hostages while Crushet was keeping the gangsters busy, being the immidiate threat that he is to them. For now, I decided to go find and follow the gangster who went off to bring Koushu, beleiving that his would be my only way of reaching him and Wijemanne.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I was having trouble running thanks to my weak phisique, but I did managed to reach the room that Koushu was held in, along many other hostages, like my math teacher, other faces of friends, even a class pet...but Wijemanne and her group were nowhere to be seen. They were guarded by the same guy, who was now armed with an SMG, and had 3 other gangsters with him, 2 on front and 2 on back.
I knew that I couldn't face them head on, so I tried to summon my powers again, but it still didn't seem to work again. But eventually I was capable of activating my powers again, and I tried to find an object to knock them out of the way.
I inevitably found an object, a stool similer to the first one I moved from earlier, and I focused on bringing it to me, only this time I was prepared. It did took a hardle out of me, but I forced the stool to fly towards me, and after it was sent flying I hid to the side, avoiding the stool which took out the 2 gangsters, and flew further until reaching stairs. It...didn't went well for them...to say the least.
First gangster inside of the room: What was that?!
second gangster inside of the room: Heard like some wind was blown up!
The other 2 gangsters went out to check what was going on, and I was prepared to take them out 2. I focused on my powers, trying to move the stool back...But then...
Genesis: You're not getting away from me this easily!
The ceiling collapsed again. This time by the villain, who immidiatly stopped the fight to reach me in particular. He dropped right in, smug as ever.
Genesis: How cute! trying to explode yourself.
First gangster: Let me off this guy! He'll regret making fun of my partners-!
Before he could finished, he got shoved back to the room in force by the villain.
Genesis: You're not getting away from me...I'll make sure of that.
My instincts were at a clash at this moment. One telling me to run away and let the heroes do the job. The other telling me to step up and fight for Koushu. I didn't know what to choose as the man intimidated me by walking slowly towards me.
Genesis: What's the matter? Too weak or bewildered to know what to do?
But it wasn't long before I've made my decidion.
Kiyoshi (me): I...
Genesis: Hm...?
Kiyoshi (me): I-I...won't run away...
I ultimatly choose...to fight.
Kiyoshi (me): I'll f-fight on! I'll defend Koushu! I-
Alas, I was kicked by him so fast I could berly react. But it wasn't as hard as I remembered. It was almost like I was being toyed with.
Genesis: If you're so worried for your little friend, why keep talking when you could just fight me already? Give me all that you've got, I'll show you that I'm built different.
He knew my thought, and dared me by standing between me and the room, preventing me from pulling a mad dash with even a single person. So I tried to focus my powers again, but this time I couldn't even get a grasp. His daring comment placed alot of dread on me, almost like he'd be withstanding it with no problem, but I refused to give up on Koushu, my thoughts on saving him as fuel for my powers.
I eventually managed to force the stool on the villain, sanding it flying towards me, and so I dodged the stool in time, heard the sound of metal shattering...but as the dread was telling me first hand, the man was still standing like nothing happened, safe for the bruse on his arms that was quickly healing.
Genesis: Disapointing for a first timer. Whatever! I might as well take this power of yours and go on with my day!
He started walking towards me again, I was at despair on what to do, should I run and hide? Should I try something new? Should I continue flyinging the now bent stool on him? My mind was racing! I didn't know what to think! Than a new voice came by.
Crushet: Crush down!
The wall to my back broke, and one of the heroes have realised what was happaning, quickly coming to my aid. Well, sort of. Upon looking at the man that was slowly approaching me, he quickly pulled out a plan, apperantly knowing of the man's existance before hand.
Crushet: Oh! I've heard of you! You're the man who refuses the title of goody no shoes princess!
The villain stopped at his tracks right here and there. And than his smug washed away instantly.
Genesis: Right on the spot. And you're invited to a WORLD of PAIN!! Try to break me if you want! But it will be you who breaks down like a ton of BRICKS!!
His demeanor of a soft spoken sadist was shattered in mere seconds, rage and power in his now booming voice, his stance of a maniac. I knew he was now aiming for him instead of me. This gave me the time to slip by the beast of a man as he walked closer to Crushet, ready to destroy him, while I went to try and help Koushu.
I was glad that Crushet was here to help me dealing with him, but after seeing him not bothering to dodge the stool, I couldn't help but feel that the fight was going to end in the villain's favor.
To be continue...
