"Man you need to see this trending video on Twitter," A boy said to his friend as they walked to school. "Chase you really need to chill on watching these videos because for all we know it could be scripted. Honestly, this dude could've planned it better. 'Santa clause' just before Christmas. I mean it adds up fam" His friend Cole said sighing irritated by how gullible Chase could be sometimes.
"Mate, I don't think this is scri-"chase said stopping his statement midway. When Cole turned to look at him, he saw fear visible all over his friend's face. Chase looked like he had seen death upfront as he looked at the video playing on his screen
"Dude what's wrong stop joking around," Cole said worriedly. Chase didn't utter a single word, he simply handed the phone over to him and started walking.
"Scripted you say… That doesn't look quite scripted to me, sometimes being overly logical is dumb" Chase said as he walked away slowly.
According to the news reports a few criminals were supposed to be killed today but somehow they escaped, but not your usual method of escaping, these guys killed their way through.
It turns out they had planned all this out and today was the day they planned their escape because it was the perfect time to do so, considering that people assumed they'd be at their lowest point on the day of their execution.
And this isn't even the craziest part. The craziest part is these guys had powers, and this wasn't a centralized event. This took place in 6 countries. 3 in the US, 4 in Paris, 7 in Russia, 1 in India, 2 in Japan, and 3 in Nigeria.
Each of them had the ability to escape from heavily guarded prison cells and now roamed around, although they were all being hunted down. The world government knew they had something huge on their hands.
It's not every you discover people with powers existed. And it sure as hell wasn't nice when only the bad guys got them.
Cole soon caught up with Chase and they both walked to school without uttering a single word to each other. But amidst this chaos and dread, there was one who was unperturbed by everything happening, as a matter of fact, he was quite excited by the turn of situations.
"These reports have come in from a reliable source and the UN has decided to call an emergency meeting with the various national leaders to find a solution to this problem. Stay tuned for more information" A reporter said on the news.
As Devon watched the news a smile crept up his face and for once in a long while, Devon was excited. "This is great news. I'm pretty sure they would be at the location I set for them. I best not keep them waiting" Devon said excitedly as he teleported to the location.
"Finally I'm here…I'm pretty sure they'll be happy to see me," Devon said arriving at the location. It was a small secluded island Devon had created somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean, It was guarded by a barrier and had a huge mansion at the center, which was apparently their base.
The island was protected from everything that was able to track it. Basically, it was like an impenetrable fortress. The only person who could enter and exit freely was Devon and whoever he allowed.
Devon simply strolled into the mansion and as he entered. It was as though the air became thicker and his instincts were on high alert. "You guys must be the baddest of the bad to be able to give me this much of a fright," Devon said casually with a smile on his face.
"I like this one. Can I kill him, since he walked into the building he should have some Intel on how to get out of the building" A man with a Russian accent said? He had a knife in his hand and he seemed to have been carving something.
"Oh! You guys can walk out now, but not until I'm done talking. I'll give you guys the equipment you need an-"Before Devon could finish talking a knife was thrown at him with an extremely high speed and high precision.
Before anyone could realize what happened they discovered they were all in some sort of conference room and Devon was sitting at the head of the table toying with a knife. "The last time I showed my powers in such a grand form I ended up wiping out the whole universe. See I hate cocky people, but you guys are special, so I'll let this slide. I hope I won't have any intrusions"
The whole room became deathly quiet because they didn't even realize what had happened. The man who had thrown his knife was awestruck. They had all tried to activate their powers but they couldn't, it wouldn't work no matter how hard they tried, so for fear of their lives they decided to stay very quiet and listen to what this young man had to see.
"Good… Now that you guys are ready to listen let's begin this conference. In front of you, you'll find costumes perfectly suited to each of your tastes. On each of these costumes, there is a button, this button gives you access to this mansion, so make sure not to lose it" Devon said pausing for a while.
"Secondly I'm sure you guessed this already but this mansion and island are all yours. You are to perform your various planning and all the equipment you'll need is in here. Each of you also has a weapon that's designed to amplify and make full use of your powers. If this is destroyed the blueprint and the materials to build a new one are inside the briefcase in front of you along with a large sum of money in your various currencies" Devon said calmly.
"The last thing you should all know is I'm going to be the hero protecting everyone and I just returned your powers to you. The rest is up to you, I hope you guys perform well, cause as much havoc as you want, and put up a good fight. Bye, see you on the battlefield" Devon said smiling as he teleported back to his hotel.
"We're definitely f@#$ed right," A man said face-palming himself.
