Chereads / How I Changed Into a Superhuman!!! / Chapter 6 - The Calm after the Storm

Chapter 6 - The Calm after the Storm

The two clashed in a way that could only be described as intense as a solar flare. You could feel the tension and pressure being released from the two crossing swords. With each strike and slash of these swords created destructive shockwaves that would severely hurt anyone who got near if they weren't as strong as the two creating them but something felt off about this. Even though my slashes are clashing against his, it feels as if I am barely doing anything but deflecting and I can't figure out why.

"Why…," asked Drago

"Whatever do you mean my dear son," replied Zacto

"Why does it feel like I am doing nothing to you and nothing is happening to me? Why does it feel like all I am doing is deflecting the damage of your slashes away from me?," asked Drago

"It's quite simple my son… You are. You are doing it off of instinct my dear boy and you have the best I have ever seen in my 5000 years of being alive… Now I will give you one clue as to why you can deflect these slashes of mine and to be able to be left standing even though you have fought my officers and not be hurt… too much by me. If I made sure I can't be killed by you and sent out my weakest officers, along with the fact that I have YOU'RE sword and I am not hurting you much even though I busted through this and killed the majority of the people here in an instant, but your still standing here fighting me. I wonder," said Zacto

"No way…. There's no way you've been holding back this entire time. I know I have been hurting you. There is no way you can be holding back. I am giving this everything I have, but I feel like I am barely doing anything even with Boido. If I am gonna die here then at least leave my friends alone and let them leave here alive. I know the light supposedly killed them but I don't believe you. I can feel them in my heart, I know there alive. Penny get out of here… You too Summer. If I am going to die at least get out of here…," said Drago hopelessly

"Hahaha who said I was going to kill you…. How about we stop here and make a wager? I will leave and in five years time I will come back and we will clash blades again. Of course we are going to be using our own blades next time though. Deal? That also means that you aren't allowed to lose in that time either. As an added incentive I will be taking your little girlfriend. I am honestly surprised you were able to sense them… you can have your friends back along with Chikara. Sound good," replied Zacto

"Yeah except you can't take her. You can take of the teachers but you can't have her. I will get stronger but the next time we fight I will beat you. I know when I'm beat… Leave this planet and take on of the teachers with you," said Drago

"Sorry but you don't have any teachers that you could offer in her place because the majority of them are dead… the only teachers that are still alive are yours and that principle of yours. You need them if you are going to get stronger, smarter, faster… right? Hahahahaha… my son unless you are willing to offer up your own sister or your other friends for her then you have no one for an equivalent exchange," said Zacto mockingly

"Dammit… you know you've got me between a rock and a hard place but I have no choice but to accept your terms but when we meet again you will give her back to me. Deal," said Drago

"Fine by me now take your friends and run home with your teachers. One more thing my son… I would like to give you one more thing as a goodbye present. I give you access to your own armory. With it you can store whatever you want and how much of whatever you want at any time and retrieve it at any time. Give me your hand," said Zacto

"Fine," agreed Drago

As I reached out my hand to grab his, a light began to shine onto the tattoo on my hand and for a split second it felt like the entirety of the world was in my hand and then it was over in an instant. I was wondering how do I put things in and take things out of my armory but then in the back of my head all I could really think of was to will it to go in and out of it, but that can't be right can it.

"How do I put things in and take things out of it," asked Drago

"Just will it so my son," replied Zacto

So I… was right but how? It doesn't matter right now I am powerless against him and all I can do is let him take her. I'm too weak and I need to get stronger. If it wasn't for that voice I wouldn't have know about that power. I wonder if I can talk to it again?

"What do you want," asked the mysterious voice

"Wait what…. I thought it would be harder than that. I wanted to talk to you and ask you a couple of questions. Is that ok," asked Drago

"You get three questions based of your performance today," said the voice

"My first question is… Who are you," asked Drago

"My name is Cthulu and I am the goddess of the underworld and before you waste a question on how this is happening…. It is because your father has summoned me and in order to keep me from killing him and the rest of his little cult of his he sealed me inside you while you were asleep. I doubt your mother would approve of this and because of that I have put a ring inside your armory that will suppress your powers. She would approve of your powers just not of me being within you. Now your second question…," replied Cthulu

"My second question is… Is there anyway i can get stronger than him in five years time," asked Drago

"Yes there is but only if you train with your mother first…. Then I will have a few ways you can train and get stronger although it will be dangerous if you don't master your mother's teachings first," replied Cthulu

"My last question is…. -

"Do not ask if I am your healing factor because I am not," Cthulu explained

"I was gonna ask how do you know my family so well. You somehow know them better than I do," said Drago

"I know your mother very well because we have been close friends ever since she was a child and I know all about how your disgrace of a father wants you dead and how he… treats you. I would have done something about him sooner but I had matters in the underworld to take care of but your father ended up summoning me right after I took care of the last problem in the underworld. So we are going to go kill him now. You don't mind right," asked Cthulu

"OF COURSE I MIND HE'S MY FATHER. EVEN IF HE TREATS ME TERRIBLY," exclaimed Drago

"I don't see what the problem is… You wouldn't have to deal with his-his-HIS COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURES AS A FATHER. A FATHER IS SUPPOSE TO KEEP HIS FAMILY SAFE AND TREAT THEM WITH CARE AND TEACH HIS KIDS LESSON ABOUT LIFE… and NEVER hurt them. A father is supposed to be kind and loving and try to discipline his kin when they do wrong accordingly. NOT BEAT HIS ONLY SON UNTIL HE DRAWS BLOOD. NOT TRY TO KILL THE KINDEST PERSON TO HIM. NOT TRY TO HARM HIS KIN FOR NO REASON AND TREAT THE OTHERS LIKE THEY'RE SOME ANGEL AND THE OTHER THE WORST THING ON THE PLANET THAT NEEDS TO DIE," exclaimed Cthulu

"I-i know but I couldn't do that to mom… she loves him and I-i had to have done something to deserve it…. Right? You've been watching over since birth, right haven't I done something to warrant this type of treatment from him. There has to be something right," said Drago

"That's the thing… You have done nothing to warrant this treatment. You always had the best grades. You protect your sisters with your life even though you're the middle child and you help out everyone in your neighborhood and around the house. You have always taking care of the wounded human and animal alike. You have even saved your father's life twice and he still treats you as if you are the scum of the earth. You have done nothing wrong to him or anyone else," explained Cthulu

"What about Mom… what have I done to her to make her not treat me the same way that dad treats me… I'm sure that I am very bothersome to her at times… Right," asked Drago

"Your mom welcomes you and your sister to come and interact with her at any time and yes you have annoyed her… probably from what I've seen… but she enjoys every moment. I am going to give you some info on your mom… She is actually one of the strongest people i've seen because she was able to get away from her little council of superhumans. Now you are one of those superhumans and I believe you sisters are too. I won't tell you anymore because that is for your mom to tell you. Now take your sisters home and rest up we will talk again when your healed. You may have deflected the shockwaves but you are still wounded and you need to heal up. It should take you about a week to heal up," explained Cthulu

"Wow… I never thought about it but your right… I will ask her when I get the chance. For now I have to get them to safety,"said Drago

With that I ran up to Penny and hygge with a tight embrace because at this point I am on the verge of tears and I need to get us all home.

"Hey Zacto… was it? Where are my friends," asked Drago

"They are all in your quiet teacher's room scared for their lives. I doubt they will ever look at you the same. Then again there is no way that they didn't know about your powers…. Ciao," Zacto said mockingly

"Let's go Penny… Summer get up we need to make sure everyone is ok and get them home," said Drago

"You can't be serious about this right little brother. I know how much you love her. Just let me go in her place. It'll be fine. It my turn to protect y-

As she was saying those words I felt an overwhelming feeling of both anger and sadness and because of this I slapped her.

"No just shut up and think about what i just did. I just gave up the one I have loved for years to make sure we all get out of this alive. I need you and Rose and my friends… and I need her to be safe. It may not look like it but this is killing me. I should be able to protect everyone with the powers of mine right… I should be strong enough to take him down and protect everyone right… I should be the one who has to deal with this alone and no one else get hurt or taken away but HERE WE ARE…. I'M POWERLESS TO STOP THIS AND I AM THE STRONGEST ONE HERE BESIDES HIM. I WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT HER AND YOU GUYS… and I failed. I failed and now she is being taken away from me and I won't get to see her gorgeous smile for 5 years. I won't be able to talk to her or even just hang out with her for 5 years. 5 years is a really long time and I don't know what to do about it and now he is about to leave with the love of my life for 5 years and I won't even know how she is doing except for a feeling I have. I HATE THIS SO MUCH AND YET I CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT ACCEPT IT. I have to just stand by and accept it like some kind of dog," explained Drago

"I-i don't know what to say. You… I never knew you… I'm sorry I didn't know you felt this way and from now on we will get stronger together so we can beat this bastard that claims to be our father," said Penny

"Yeah we will get stronger together but when the time comes to fight him…. He's mine," said Drago

"That's fine as long as you come back alive when it happens. Let's go get Ruby and the others and get out of here. He's getting back on his ship now and we don't have much time before he takes off. Let's go," said Penny

"Alright...let's go…. You just wait Zacto I am going to be the one to beat you," said Drago
