Chapter 17 - GROWTH SPURT

I yelled,"What is happening to me?!"

Cody said,"Chill dude, what's wrong?"

I was hyperventilating when I said,"I'm a foot and a half taller!"

Cody said,"You're now realizing?"

"Wait, you knew?!"I yelled.

"Yeah, we thought it was some kind of growth spurt due to puberty."He continued.

"I'm seven!"I yelled.

Jason's eyebrows furrowed and he said,"No you're not, you're fifteen."

"What the heck?! I'm not!"I yelled.

He pressed my mark and it showed my information:

I started breathing heavily, I had jumped forward in time! Or had I?

I started laughing and my roommates were looking at me, concerned, then I said,"Really funny guys. You can stop the prank."

They looked confused and Junior asked,"What prank?"

I answered,"I know Cody has made all of us older. You can stop now."

Cody said,"I haven't."

I could tell he was serious.

I had jumped forward in time!

' Francois! Of course it's him! ' I thought.

"Buddy, are you okay?"Cody asked.

"No."I said in a tone, ready to kill.

I walked out of the room and they followed me. I realized my water vision was a lot better now, a whole lot.

Now I could literally see every feature of the object, no more shapeless blobs but rather, humans with varying shades of blue all over, and the vapour in the air was clearer too.

The hearing I got from the water vision was also a lot better, clearer and at a greater distance.

But I didn't remember anything that had happened in all this time, so that was more certification that I had jumped to the future.

I was walking to Adam house, as Francois' mark was red the last time I saw him, nine years ago.

Jason said,"Francois isn't in his room."

I looked at him, with my eyes glowing bright blue. I said in a booming double voice,"Where is he?!"

Jason said,"Calm down."

The light in my eyes dimmed and faded. I asked,"How did you do that?"

"Mind control, I have had this skill for years, you should know."He said.

I was looking at him straight in the eyes and he dropped his jaw then said,"You really don't know... anything, but how?"

I said,"That's exactly what I want to find out and Francois is the only one who can give me answers."

Cody didn't understand what was going on but said,"Francois can't give you any answers."

I asked,"Why?"

He said,"Because he's in a coma."

***

"What?"I asked.

Junior said,"He fell into a coma shortly after your duel with him, nine years ago."

I was so confused, and he was the only person who could take me back!

Jason said,"Francois did this to you, didn't he?"

"Did what?"Junior and Cody asked simultaneously.

"Sent me forward in time."I said.

"That's why he fell into a coma, he was totally derived of energy when he did something this powerful.

Cody said,"Back it up, that french dude with the cool mustache sent you forward in time?"

"Yes."Jason and I said simultaneously.

"Cool."Cody said.

"No, not cool! I have lost everything in life! All those years are gone! And only he can send me back."I said.

Just then my watch I didn't remember having beeped.

Junior said,"Oh, you have a new mission."

I asked,"Mission?"

"Yeah, you're a Monster hunter, remember? Oh I forgot."He replied.

"Come on."Cody said.

They took me to the principal and she looked happy to see me, as usual. She welcomed me warmly and said,"Your next mission is that a former student of Bright Academy, Bakugo Spears, has been kidnapping people all around the world, and we have reason to believe he's working for a software company which is secretly using illegal means to activate those people's lights, but we don't have solid evidence, so what we need you to do is to follow him till he goes in. Your mission begins in a week, I know you'll do great as you always do."

I then said,"I'm sorry, but I can't."

She asked,"Why not?"

"Because I don't know anything. I somehow jumped to this time, believe it or not, I'm still seven and soon after my encounter with Francois, I appeared here."

She stroked her chin, as if deep in thought then said,"So you want us to heal him to take you back?"

"Yes, that would mean everything to me."I said.

She said,"I'm sorry but if it is Francois doing this to you, then he's not waking up until you go back."

I dropped my jaw, but that wasn't even the worst news. This was,"But even if he did wake up, he couldn't take you back, he only controls the future, not the past."

That was a serious bombshell then I whispered,"I'm stuck here."

"I'm sorry Felix, I truly am..."She said.

"Don't be, if I'm going to be stuck here, I have to cope, when in Rome do what the Romans do."I said.

They all looked at me as I continued,"I'll do the mission."

She gave me the needed information and I walked out.

Jason asked,"Dude, are you sure you're prepared for this?"

"No, that's why I need you guys to train me. In all this time, I must have unlocked some new skills or sub skills."I said.

I knew I told them about all my skills first so I hoped they would remember, or at least Jason. Just then Cody said,"Let's start with Ice Manipulation.
