The sun was setting and it was a majestic sight. Streaks of orange, red and dark blue lit up the sky. painting a picture of elegance as the light also bounced off buildings.
Aiden was meanwhile wandering the forest as the final light of day filtered through the trees. the atmosphere was chilly and Aiden had his hands in his hoodies pockets
Aiden kept looking down at the floor as he moved through the forest, he seemed to be worried about something. He decided to stop and take a deep breath and he felt better instantly
"Please stop! I'm sorry!"
Aiden snaps his head to the right and sees a bit off four figures by a willow tree. Aiden at first wasn't interested in them and tried to go deeper into the forest until he heard a cracking sound from their direction
Aiden inched closer towards the figured and saw they were four boys. A scrawny boy wearing glasses was slumped against the willow, his cracked glasses beside him while his oppressors where standing over him smiling
"Your pathetic" the one closest to him said as he squat in front of him. He held the other boys neck with his hands that had already started growing brown hair and his palms had grown pads
"Please...I'll...get...the...money..." the boy choked out
"Sorry little Sammy but time's up, I guess your Mom will be lonely until she gets another kid" He said cruelly and continued choking him
Aiden recognized Sammy as his neighbor, they used to talk with each other but it suddenly stopped when a problem came up in Aiden's life and he and his family were ostracized by the people of New Shire.
Sammy used to try to talk to him but was always held back by his Mom
Aiden couldn't help but clench his fist, his anger burning, he appreciated that Sammy was still one of the people who tried to reach out to him despite him being seen as an outcast
Aiden brought out a black mask which covered his face from his nose down and ran towards the bully strangling Sammy and jumped up lifting his leg upwards and brought it crashing down on to the bully's arm in an axe kick and then rotated his body to deliver a side kick directly onto the bully's left temple sending him flying and breaking his arm
Sammy, relieved that he was no longer being choked started coughing and gasping for air
"Thank you" he said to Aiden
"Run" Aiden replies in a deep voice trying to make his voice sound different
Sammy nodded and ran away from the forest
"Bastard!" the bully screamed as he held his broken arm which had his bone protruding from it "Get him!" he shouts at his two companions
His first companion rushed up to him as his fist turned yellowish and the skin around it became stiffer and tougher than before, appearing almost scale like
' Pangolin morph' Aiden thought to himself
As he reached Aiden, Aiden side stepped his punch then grabbed his arm with his right and launched a flurry of forearm strikes onto the boys abdomen before using a snap kick to send him tumbling back
"I'm a Pangolin morph that won't work!" the boy sneered at Aiden
A tongue then lashed out at Aiden from above him and wrapped up his right arm
"Cauh yew!" the other boy said as he becomes visible
' Chameleon morph ' Aiden smirked ' Perfect '
"What you smirking about!?" Pangolin boy says as he wraps his long tongue around Aiden's left leg
They both try to make Aiden fall by pulling him in different directions but Aiden plants his feet firm on the ground and using his left leg performs a tornado kick using his momentum to draw both of the boys towards him
As soon as their near him he grabs their tongues and uses it to slam then into each other. He then uses a snap kick to launch them upwards and launches a flurry of kicks using the momentum from each previous kick to boost the power of the following kicks the uses a tempest kick to hit pangolin boy in his side and sends him spinning with chameleon boy into the other bully sending then flying into a birch tree knocked out
Aiden cracks his neck and fingers then looks with contempt then moves towards their bodies he picks up the wrist of each of them then using their watches transfers all their credits to his watch
"Trash" Aiden said as he walked off into the forest
By time he was done with the bullies it was evening time and the forest willows were illuminated by fireflies. Aiden loved seeing the forest when the fireflies came out, they gave the forest such a beautiful look it felt like he was in a picture painted by a great artist
He kept on walking north until he reached a spot where there were various fireflies, so many it looked like many lanterns were hung in mid air
A little bit in front of him was a ring of Larch trees which where clumped tightly together and the the floor was littered with yellow leaves from the Larches
Aiden walked through the Larches and came out into a clearing with a lot of white and blue flowers and in the middle a glowing blue spring
The spring's glow was unnatural and quite beautiful
Aiden sat by the shore of the clearing and cupped his hands to scoop some water and drink it, he felt invigorated
He then fell onto his back near the spring then stared at the starry sky
' Dad...' Aiden thought ' I've never been this lonely, even though there people here for me why do I feel like I'm all alone '
Aiden closed his eyes and his vision became black. Aiden felt a weird sensation, it was like he was sinking and then he suddenly stopped and stood still
His vision returned and he could see a field if blue floors and a blue light illuminated the space
"What? Where am I?" Aiden looked around
In font of Aiden was a rough looking aura that kept moving and seemed restless, it's eyes were glowing blue and were sharp
"T$$#@-&!€¢•π¥®"
Aiden heard a strange sound and then the room started rippling
Aiden became confused and suddenly he blacked out
