The demon: Human, get ready for your doom!
Moves towards marvelous and killed him!
TO BE CONTINUED.....
well....., this is what would have happened to marvelous if he was a criminal, cause the demon wipes out crime
But instead he possessed him, Marvelous not knowing much about it.
Marvelous finally arrived at his family apartment , his dad was really mad at him
Mr.simon: why are you just coming in !. It's 12:17am. You've left home since 10:45 pm
just to get me drink from the nearby supermarket, it won't take you more than 15 to 20 minutes
Mr.simon almost hitting marvelous as he tries to take cover
Marvelous: I'm sorry, I couldn't find the drink from any nearby supermarket, they've all closed
Joshua cuts in
joshua:Yh, that's was there was curfew yesterday.
From what I read on my phone our estate and some neighbouring estates were on curfew.
The elders forum were looking for a new leader and had to make some rituals in order to find a righteous leader. And anybody that comes out will face the wrath of the gods.
The ritual took place in the main estate market
Mr.simon and Mrs.simon frightened because marvelous was outside
Mrs.simon What!, we didn't know about this curfew because we were at Ghana and we switched our phones off.
(continues..)
I insisted you shouldn't go out but you and your dad didn't listen to Me!
To marvelous
Mrs.simon: pls tell me you didn't go to the main market
Marvelous didn't know what to say , with the trouble he already has on ground for coming late
And you know typical African mothers, If they insist you shouldn't do something and you do it , once you're in trouble for doing it you'll never hear the end of it
" I told you not to do it but you did ! , I know better than you ,
What an adult can see while sitting a child can't see it even if he climbs a tree "
Marvelous: No ma, I didn't go the the main market .
Mrs.simon: That's good.
(Moments later , they all prayed and dashed to their rooms.
Joshua and marvelous sleeps in the same room , while Sharon prefers sleeping in the living room to her room.
Moments later , the demon that possessed marvelous started talking to him and kept on saying this word "There's a robbery at ajao estate , block 73"
At first marvelous thinks it's an illusion but it kept on disturbing him .
It was weird for him to talk back to the demon since it was in his head.
The last words the demon said to him was " go to ajao estate, block 73. you've every power you can think of "
It was more of instinct when he snuck out of the house, he said to himself "I have any power I can think of"
He kind of believed what the demon said but he can't tell what was talking to him. He just knew that something supernatural happened to him when he went to the main market.
So he imagine flying and tried moving before he knew it He started flying. At first he couldn't control himself but later he got the hang of it . He got to block 73, and landed down move to the scene where the robbery was taking place
(to the robbers)
Marvelous: What are you doing ?
one of the robbers: About to play hide and seek with the police , what are you doing ?
Marvelous : I'm here to stop you guys
one of the robbers : (laughs) ridiculous!,
Marvelous hits the robber and immediately he shot marvelous
The second robber: wtf man, why did you shoot , he's just a kid, he looks 15
The first robber : he's a mf, why did he hit me
Marvelous lying down on the ground discovered he wasn't dead then stood up
The robbers were shocked
Marvelous then fought with them this time and he was very fast they couldnt touch him
Marvelous later brought them down but one of the robbers died accidentally. Then the police arrived and he handed them to the police
The next morning at the college, Marvelous went straight to the basketball court
Dennis: see who's here the boy that didn't attend training since last week. He finally showed up
Marvelous: it wasn't deliberate I went to....
Dennis: (interupts) I just hope you didn't come today to play the game 2 of the final
Marvelous: yes of course, I came to play
Dennis:Who do you think you are !, you think you can just come from anywhere without attending training and come to play
Marvelous: That's left for coach to judge
Coachie: (walks in) you're stupid! , you missed training for four training days and you expect
me to put you in the team
( the demon speaks to marvelous once again, "you know you're a lot stronger , faster , better now show them what you've got ")
Marvelous: (holds a basketball, moves from the end of the court to the centre and made a clean shot , every body were shocked )
Dennis: so, what are you trying to prove, that was just one lucky shot.
Marvelous: (moves again from one end to another and this time he made a slam dunk)
Buari: damn, Marvelous must have been through intensive training
Marvelous: (realises he can fit a lie into what buari just said ) yes, I prefer individual training to group training that's why
coachie: well if that's the case you're in for today's game we will discuss our team plan when the college closes by 3pm.
you all know today's game is starting by 4:30pm
Later in the afternoon, the game started , Marvelous performance in the first quarter was unbelievable he made 6 out of 8 3-point shots and his dunk was unbeatable the first quarter ended 28-8 where marvelous made 20 points and 2 assists.
During the beginning the second quarter of the game, the demon spoke to him that there was an emergency . He flew there, he went for emergencies back to back and finally he was done with the emergencies, he came back to the college. The game was just at it's last quarter by then there were looking 53-37
Marvelous walks in to meet the coach
coachie:(to marvelous, angrily) hey! were have you been
Marvelous: ehm..., I'd been at the school clinic. I had body pain.
coachie: why did you leave without telling me
Marvlous: I'm sorry
