Days passed and weeks go, nothing much had occurred.
Jay sometimes go train under Xander together with Natalie and Mark.
On the other side, Bren also attends his trainings. The two sides kept their other identities as secret. Being exposed as a part of the Underworld will only invite troubles to that person.
Jay is currently going home after their training. He is tired because of the tasks they had to do because of the Cultures and Traditions Month and now they had to train. Fortunately, the script that his co-members of the club had made pleased the theater club and the principal.
It is 3am when Jay had exited the area covered by the dark zones. He is careful not to be seen by others, as there are still people and cars even though it is a deep night.
Jay walked down an alley when he sensed people in front of him. They are running and when they got closer, Jay got a clear view of them. There is no place to hide because both left and right directions are walls, so Jay chose to make way for them, even knowing that there must be a problem.
Still, one of the men pushed Jay and he fell down on his butt.
"Shit."
Jay released a sigh since they didn't fight him, he was tired after all.
"Who are those people?"
He was about to get up when he heard fast footsteps from the same direction as the first group of people. Only now did he understood what is happening.
It's a chase.
He just got up when that group of people stopped their tracks and cautiously looked at him. Jay saw that there are five of them.
"Oh? Wanting to stall time for your friends to escape? Hmph", a voice sounded from one of the five people in front of him. They are the Storm Squad.
Jay knew that they misunderstood.
With that, two of them went past Jay in a lightning speed, intending to chase those other group, or at least see the direction they are headed to. Those two are Ana and Carlo.
Jay remained in his place, which surprised the other three remaining.
"Seems like you've given up? If you don't want to be tortured, just answer all of our questions truthfully, we don't like to spend such efforts to someone like you", Colleen spoke in a cold tone.
In their eyes, Jay looked like someone who is sacrificed to hinder them from chasing those people.
Jay narrowed his eyebrows.
"It's not what you see it is. I'm not one of them", Jay simply said, then prepared to leave when a hand held his shoulder with strength.
Jay turned around to see a boy, probably the same age as him, but due to the dark, he can't see his face clearly. The person who held him was Spencer.
Then Spencer spoke, "Don't lie." He then released a punch towards Jay, which the latter evaded. Jay was about to run away immediately when a gun was pointed to him.
'So fast!'
Colleen pointed her gun at Jay who stopped moving. Behind her was Neil who is talking to the other to Carlo about the situation in their communication devices.
Unexpectedly, Colleen was caught off guard when Jay kicked the gun which was thrown far away. Spencer reacted immediately and engaged in a fight with Jay.
Jay only dodged the attacks from the former with ease while trying to get away.
Neil and Colleen only watched the fight while waiting for their other two. With Spencer's ability, they believe that Jay can't stand a chance.
Seeing that Jay still hadn't received a blow from him, Spencer forced out his phenomenal ability, a temporary boost in strength and speed.
Jay felt something off. Sensing Spencer's change, he understood that the guy is a phenomenal.
'What a joke.'
Even though Spencer used his ability, he was surprised that the guy is still at ease in evading his attacks. He started to panic.
'Something's not right.' Spencer then attacks faster.
Neil and Colleen felt that something is wrong. Spencer should have defeated the guy already. They both glanced at each other and went to help their friend.
Jay saw that the other two is heading towards them.
'I need to make a move now.'
Jay the went into offensive mode and with speed rivaling Spencer, he released quick but powerful attacks which hit Spencer. Spencer was pushed back hard and fear immediately enveloped his mind. He underestimated his opponent.
He stood up with pain in his chest but Jay followed up with attacks in weird angles, Spencer can't even read his moves, and his ability is useless because of the pain on his chest.
Jay landed a strong kick on the chest which pushed Spencer. Neil and Colleen who was about to help him caught Spencer safely. They saw that blood is coming out from his mouth and looks like he is beaten badly.
"I just said that I am not one of them", they heard Jay speak and after just a couple of seconds, Jay exited the dark alley.
