Chapter 3 - 3. LET'S GO PUBLIC.

Rez woke up in a hospital room, the place was well decorated. The was a woman sitting in a chair beside his right hand side.

"Where am I ?" Rez slowly said raising his upper body at the same time.

"You're in the district hospital"the woman replied. " I'm Inspector Denvers, here to interrogate you about a crime scene that took place in room I believe, few days ago."

" Few days ago!, how many days have I been out." Rez questioned surprise about what the Inspector told him.

" You've been out for 4 days." The inspector replied. " Now let's get on with the interrogation shall we... "

...

( Few minutes later)

" So you are telling me that you managed to stop one of the most wanted criminals from using his power." Inspector Denvers said with a face of disbelief. Who will believe this?

" Yeah Inspector, I did". Rez replied.

" Now, even if what you are saying is true we've already tested to see whether you have woken your star power and the results...is that you haven't." Inspector Denvers said handing over the report to Rez.

Rez read it and was surprised

" But how, what happened then?" he thought to himself.

Inspector Denvers looked at Rez whose eyes was fixated on the report and sighed;" It seems the trauma was too much for you and your mind is making up stuff".

" No wait, you don't understand I really stopped him." Rez said unwilling to accept what the Inspector was saying.

" Why don't you rest a little" Inspector Denvers said with a sharp glare that could tear through anything. She was known for her very very short temper.

Rez froze under the gaze and decided to just do what she said "Geez, is that how to treat a victim" he thought to himself.

Inspector Denvers left the room and told her patner who seemed to have gone out for coffee " The kid has nothing to say. I think he's suffering from trauma."

"Oh , right. " her patner answered.

....

(The Next Day)

" Alright you're free to go now, make sure you take care of yourself." the doctor told Rez.

" Thanks". Rez said after dressing up. The clothes he blacked out in were neatly washed and ironed, he even wondered whether he was in a hospital or a laundry shop after seeing it.

Rez arrived home ; he checked his comm and saw many missed calls and many emails from his friend wishing him well. Darmian had heard of the robbery incident when he came over to check out the tshirt ad the deal said only to find out his friend had been robbed and had fainted only to be taken to the hospital.

Rez called Darmian with his comm

" Hey Darmian! " Rez said with a brimming smile

" Haha, my man Rez. I knew you couldn't die without paying me first." Darmian joked even though he was serious about the dying aspect , nope, the paying aspect.

" Well you can come over and also I have an interesting story to tell you." Rez said

" Oh I'm in your hood, in fact I'm already at your door." Darmian smiled devilishly.

" What! How's that even po..." before Rez could complete his sentence he heard a knock on his door. Rez walked to open it but before he could touch the knot Darmian opened it himself. If Rez didn't step back he would have received a slap from a wooden door.

" Hey! Do you want to kill me ." Rez said angrily.

" Oh, I'm sorry bro, anyway so what did you want to tell me" Darmian said as he made himself at home. Rez sighed and shook his head he then quickly thought to himself if there was ever a way to sell friends. But even with that he was sure Darmian wouldn't fetch enough, the guy was too annoying.

"Ok so I think I have awake.."

"Stop". Darmian quickly cut him out .

"Where's the tshirt?". he added

"Really!". Rez couldn't believe it, was the guy all about money?. He got up and went for the tshirt. He then tossed it to Darmian.

Darmian inspected the shirt carefully like a diamond being inspected whether it was real or fake. Rez sat with a 'like seriously' face.

" Are you ok now? What I have to tell you is much more important." Rez said as he sat at the edge of his almost burnt furniture.

Darmian, who seemed to have lost interest( if he was ever interested) also pushed closer to listen. " I have awaken my ability."Rez announced.

"Yeah, sure. Like the last time right." Darmian retorted. This wasn't the first time Rez said this; some few months ago he did.

And here they were again doing the same thing. Rez gave Darmian a short jab to the shoulder.

"Ouch." Darmian said.

"That was rude. it's true, this time I have really awaken my power." Rez said.

" Ok ok... I want you to activate your power." Rez added as he stood up with an excited face.

" Wait...what does having your power have to do with mine " Darmian was a little bit hesitant. His power was that he could turn objects into ice. He couldn't do that too big objects as it consumed a lot of energy so in order words he wasn't strong enough.

" Come on Darmian just do it. " Rez said pleadingly.

"Ok ok". Darmian stood up and activated his power. Darmian had an elemental power. He could freeze objects or create ice out of thin air. He just froze the vapour in the air to create ice; it's nothing impressive.

He couldn't freeze big objects yet. The Star Power was like an ability, it could be trained to do more and one would also get tired from too much use.

Rez positioned himself and faced his friend; then he closed his eyes and was concentrating. He couldn't activate it. He felt confused, what if it was just a fluke. "Urmmm....I'm still waiting". Damian said. Darmian could feel his friends pain, the fear of being left out. it hurts sometimes, but he was here for his money not his welfare". Rez then recalled how he felt when that guy was about to kill him. He then opened his eyes , it must have been a moment but Darmian saw Rez eyes light up. It was crimson blue.

"Wow!" Darmian exclaimed in admiration.

Rez did his thing and said " Ok now try using your power". Darmian who had already noticed that he couldn't use his power said " I can't, how are you doing that?"

"I don't know it just happened." Rez said after he stopped blocking Darmian's power.

"So you are saying you have the power to stop other people's power?" Darmian said excitedly as he held and shook Rez.

Rez nodded in response. " We're are going to be so popular." Darmian said in an extremely excited tone.

"LET'S GO PUBLIC! After we post on YouTube we would be so popular." Darmian said thinking of the money and the popularity. Yeah YouTube couldn't be destroyed be just a falling star haha...

Rez wasn't against the idea , he could use some few cash on him.

.....

"Aaaand...sent. But why can't we see the link you told me about."Darmian asked

"It seems no one or nothing can see it except me." Rez said.

( IN THE AGENCY'S HQ ).

" Yo Zero , you've seen this? Some kids just posted a video about having the power to stop another power."

Agent Zero watched the video and he found it to be an interesting edited video surely nothing like that exists in the world and in their database.

....

" Acient One, we found something very interesting." A caped man said to an empty space.

All of a sudden the upper part of a man with a masked face with his hair covered in a cape was projected from a projector. He was the Ancient One , leader of the cult group called Scorpions. A group set to destroy and rebuild.

They believe the Star that fell meant for something to change, something must change even if it meant the world perishing.

" Speak." he said

"There's a child who has the power to stop other people's power." The other caped man said. He was an Elder in the cult.

"Very well, find him. Alive!".The Acient One said and went off.

"Yes Acient One." The Elder said as he bowed in Reverence.

"Inform Shinji we are going out."

The Scorpions were in their recruitment period and any one was recruited as long as they had power, sometimes with a little force.
