Chapter 3 - BOOKER JOINS THE ULTIMATE FORCE

Now after High school Booker and his sister had qualified to join campus. They were now supposed to think of what they were going to do with their lives. Their parents called them to a small meeting to ask them what they wanted to do, for Bookers sister she wanted to be a content creator and become an internet sensation. Her parents were against it for they were afraid of their daughter getting exposed to the internet. For Booker he was not sure what he wanted to do. He said he wants to think things clearly. Little did they know what was coming their way. The next day their father went to work and he found out he was being retrenched. One of the high school bullies had told his father to do something about Booker senior so he loses his job. Since he was the bread winner of the family, they had to look for a cheaper place to stay. Their mother also had a job but it could not sustain their family. The bills were piling up, so they were forced to move to the slums of new York. Booker now knew he was supposed to go and get a job to support his family, but his father told him to finish campus first. Life had become so tough for them that now Booker had to go and collect garbage so that he can try to help out with the bills. For Nia she was supposed to join university and study as Booker went to work. Now a guy named named Nick Fury who was an engineer built an air spaceship, and named it the ultimate force. There he built that pearl but by mistake it fell down to the streets of New York. He wanted to try it on a guy whom he believed would be a super hero who would restore parity in the united states. He had come up with a team of scientists. They now wanted to come up with a lot of super heroes. Now he had lost the pearl and he was looking for a way to find it. Back there in the New York there was a lot of crime everyday Booker used to see people getting mugged everyday. There in the streets of new York there were a lot of gangs in the streets, and they were competing which gang was taking over and robbing the people. It now became very dangerous to the point where at 6 pm no one could be seen in the street. Nevertheless Booker had to work till late night so that he can earn some more money. One day as he was going home at night he was ambushed by a gang of 12 members who wanted to steal from him. He did not want to fight them because he remembered the last time he beat up people they ended up coming to their home, so he decided to back down. They asked him to give them all the money he had, but he said he did not have any money with him at the moment. When he took a close look at one of them he realized it was one of the bullies from high school and he was wearing a head gear. He was not so sure if it was him, so he took a closer look and clarified it was him. Then they removed guns and threatened to kill him so he decided to give them what they wanted. He gave them all of his money, then the guy with a head gear gave him a head butt then they all started beating him when he was on the floor. He was badly injured by them the next morning he found himself in a hospital bed lying. The next thing he requested his parents to visit him to find out how he was doing. Then the family all came together to see him. When they asked him what happened he told them he was mugged and all his money was stolen. Then after he was beaten and he found himself in the hospital. His parents told him to be arriving home early. In no time all of his wounds were healed even he could not believe it. It was miraculous. Even the doctors were surprised to see someone who is injured and has recovered in less than 24 hours. He was even ready to be discharged. Then they went home straight away. Then after they arrived his sister asked him how he was able to heal so fast. Nia asked him to tell her the truth because she realized the day after the pearl he was not the same. He became strong and he did things which are outrageous, then now he is healed from bruises in less than 24 hours. Then Nia asked him if he picked that pearl. Then Booker decided to tell her the truth that on that day he picked that pearl and that evening it entered his body. From that day his life has never been the same, he became stronger. Nia scolded him saying he did not know where it came from? and the side effects it has. Now nick fury had found a way of tracking the person who possesses the pearl. He had come up with a device that tracked the person with the pearl. Now he was in the street of New York looking for Booker. Soon the device detected that the pearl was in Bookers home. Furry decided to take the person with the pearl so that he can join ultimate force. So he timed Booker and when he got out he drugged him and he was carried into the air spaceship. When he woke up he realized he was surrounded by people he did not know. Then Nick Furry explained to him how got there, and now he told him to join Ultimate force since he now possesses the pearl. Nick Furry even told him what his super hero kit would look like and his mission. Booker got scared on hearing what he was told and he said he wanted to leave he was not ready to be a full time super hero. So he requested to be released and the pearl to be removed from his body. Nick Furry had to accept his decision and so he was placed in a machine and it got removed. Then he was taken home. On reaching home he told her sister that the pearl owner had taken it from him, but he did not tell her everything he was just brief. Then the next day as he was going to work he saw a fruit vendor being harassed and his money being taken from him. He felt it was really bad but he decided not to intercede. Then in the evening when he was going back home he saw a small kid being beaten by a gang. Something inside him told him to take the offer and save the people of New York. Then he remembered his family and he decided it will come first. That very same day he imagined what if it was his family members being harassed? He made up his mind he was going to join Ultimate force. The first challenge he encountered was reaching out once again to Nick Furry.
