Chereads / The Boy From Ectopia / Chapter 17 - Chapter Seventeen:

Chapter 17 - Chapter Seventeen:

" Dizirela was looking for a great energy source we discovered in space but never told you guys about, because our captain, Lewis, wanted the power for himself alone"

" This power when absorbed by someone makes the person powerful and impenetrable. Dizirela helped us find it and also tricked us" Jaden explained, taking the cup of wine Donald had offered him.

" So you mean, Lewis never wanted to share the..." 

Donald was about to say something about the matter when one of his soldiers barged into his office in full force without knocking.

" Captain! " the soldier saluted, " I think we have found the alien. He is heading straight to us as we speak" 

" Really?" 

" Yes sir. He is after a policeman who is shouting at us for help"

" Is that so?" Donald smiled, "well, this will be fun. You can go and prepare the other soldiers, I will come right after"

" Yes sir"

After dismissing the soldier, Donald faced Jaden, " You stay right here since he is after you. I don't want him to go berserk for seeing you"

" Yeah, I understand but I feel sad seeing him like this.  Like, he lost all he ever loved and knew. If I was the one, I could have done the same" Jaden regretted while shaking his head with pity.

" I understand but all I am trying to do is to save the world from any chaos and to also correct your people's foolish mistakes," Donald said and walked out of the room.

********

Kein refused to let the policemen go. He had given them a chance but they misused it and now they must pay.

After trying to fly for the third time but to no avail, Kein decided to chase after them with his legs.

Although on his planet, they do not make use of their legs much since they are capable of flying which makes it easier and faster.

So chasing after the policemen with his legs, Kein was finding it awkward. Though he knew that he would catch them before they could escape while using his legs and powers, he still finds it stressful.

He couldn't understand why his power of flight was taken so suddenly that what he was used to, he could no longer perform it.

" I don't know what this force is, but it has become a weakness for me," Kein said before going after the policeman.

While chasing the policemen, Kein came out of a junction with three different roads and the policemen took each road.

He stood there confused, not knowing the one to chase first. But after a series of contemplations, Kein went after the one that was closer to him.

The policeman knew that he would be caught so quickly because his arm had been sliced off. That was the reason he chose the road. To call the S.I.A for help.

Kein, seeing that the man was quite far from him, decided to use his power in front of everyone to catch him faster before going over to kill the other two policemen.

Although, people had already started looking at them with creepy gazes while some were taking a video of ' a boy with a costume chasing after a policeman' with their phones. 

" Is that policeman scared of the boy? This one he is running like his life depended on it" A blonde girl asked her colleagues as they continued to film the scene that was going on.

" Maybe it's because of the costume" another joked and they all burst into laughter.

" Haha, don't be ridiculous, it can't be because of a simple costume " the blonde girl defended.

" Who knows?" 

" But why hasn't he asked his other colleagues to help him since he knows that he can't defect the boy?" another chimed in

" I don't know. But doesn't the boy know the type of punishment awaiting him if he was ever to be caught?" the blonde asked no one in particular. It was a question of reason.

" Maybe he is new to the town" 

Meanwhile, hundreds of siren noises could be heard all over the city and all these policemen were after one particular boy with knight armor.

Mickel, one of the policemen who followed a different road, after seeing that no one was behind him, decided to rest a little and use the opportunity to make a phone call.

He brought out his cell phone and dialed a number which the receiver picked up immediately.

" Officer Mickel, how is the job? How did it go?" the deep voice on the phone quickly asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

" Sir, this is beyond us. We can't do this, sending more of our men will only mean sending them to a lion's den. This is the work of S.I.A not ours.  Officer Stanley was right, the boy is inhuman"

*******

Kein, after running after the one-armed policeman and discovering he was very slow, decided to make use of his power, ignoring all the dumb humans stupidly looking at him.

" You can only run but you can hide," Kein said to the policeman who was running while holding his injured arm. He was seriously bleeding.

He stomped his right foot on the ground and took off for the air and his landing got him closer to the policeman.

"Oh my gosh, did he just fly?" A guy who was capturing the whole thing shouted as soon as he saw Kein take off for the air.

He kept looking at Kein in the sky with a mesmerized look.

" No, he didn't fly, he jumped,"   the person near the guy corrected him.

" What do you mean? No one can jump that high" the guy argued

" Yeah, you are correct. He is not human"

" Then, S.I.A should get involved" 

****** 

Kein continued jumping from one place to another so he could get close to the policeman while the officer kept heading towards the gate of S.I.A.

" Help! Someone, please help!" the policeman shouted.

He was now slow and his vision was becoming blurry due to too much loss of blood.

On reaching the gate of S.I.A, the police slumped.
