Chapter 8 - The Abandoned

After learning of his mother and fathers death, Ryuji decided to go outside to see if he could get his mind off with what has been happening.

"Ryuji, before you go outside my dear fellow, let me ask you this question"

Ryuji felt overconfident despite knowing that Ryu was more better at answering questions.

"What will you do now? Ryuji was  being overconfident answered his question "What else is there to do? to get revenge for my family". 

Knowing Hanzo, he'd thought that being more powerful would make him impressed but left an opposite impression.

"Really? Then what will you do after that, go on a killing spree? meet the girl of your dreams? or end up dead alongside your mother and father?"

How Ryuji reacted to his Grandfather talking about his own son made Ryuji angry.

"How could you say that? your own son died and yet you don't care about him!!!!"

"I do care for him, I'm more traumatised than the time I lost my wife, you don't know how it has been like for me".

Ryuji could see in his Grandfather's eyes that he meant what he said and he couldn't help but feel like ignoring it.

"Yeah? well whatever" Ryuji stormed outside to the garden where he wanted peace and quiet.

A lot of mysteries were filling Ryuji's head with nonsense and snapped and continuously slam his fists on the ground, but then, this was where Ryuji's life started to change.

Ryuji's witnessed a strange portal that looked too curious for Ryuji, with no time to waste, he inspected the portal and decided to go through it. 

Later to realise that he was in deep space, he thought he was going to die but was somehow immune to Space non air.

Ryuji later encountered a meteor that was coming his way. Late to realise it, he screamed and tried to shield himself, just to find out that the meteor stopped at the last second. 

More and more Curious, Ryuji attempted to try something else to see if it stopped, then he thought to himself, "I have powers? that's stupid, I mean how can I get powers?"

Many people in the world would think of having a super power at first can be dangerous but for kids, it's just something that can fulfil their dreams of being superheroes.

Ryuji did the only thing that was similar to his brother and that was to figure out his power.

But before he got the chance he was struck by a black hole that was sucking him in, attempting to break free, he somehow rewinded time backwards and was back at his Grandfather's garden.

Realising that he had powers of time, to prove that he was correct, he decided to freeze someone in time.

But before that, Hanzo had news for Ryuji that he needed to know.

"Ryuji, I have some news to tell you about Ryu" Ryuji froze when Hanzo mentioned his brother, his mind was filled with questions that he was desperate to know.

"Ryu is leaving my home and is leaving me with you and your little sister" Ryuji's mind went blank as he heard that his little brother being abandoned. "Why? Why are you abandoning Ryu?"

"Ryu is leaving because he tolerated me for looking after you three so he decided to leave so that he can be sure that you were safe, I know ,I know what I just said sounded Oxymoron but that's how it went"

After that Ryu and Ryuji parted ways and Ryu was long gone from home.
