INTRODUCTION
We live in dangerous times, the universe multiverse timelines infinite worlds aliens all of them are not mere possibilities but reality. Life might be a lot different than how people depict it. This is one such example of how the universe mechanics really work. Welcome to Kenya a country that has known peace since its independence. The year is 1987 where the start of a legend fiction story starts. 3 years before this special year a man called George LEVIS came to Kenya after being banished from an organization known as the CULTERS. This organization dealt with things that if people knew it would lead to chaos and infinite paranoia and for that reason the organization was kept secret for over a two dozen centuries. In order for you to get the legend story of the rewarder you first need to grasp of who his father really was.
THE CULTERS
As previously stated George LEVIS was in an organization known as the CULTERS. This organization was formed in an approximated year 1 AD by a man named GROSHEN LEVIS its main aim was to deal with alien threats and create new technologies that humans can use to protect themselves from emerging threats in space and also among themselves. The organization was a family business meaning no outsider was allowed to operate inside the core of the organization. Years later GEORGE LEVIS was born around the year 1956 in NEW YORK USA and was inducted into the family's business when he was around 15 years of age. George LEVIS was the first born in a family of two. He had a brother known as peter LEVIS. George and Peter grew up to be one of the best agents the family in the CULTERS had to offer. They collected numerous artifacts from across the galaxy using a machine that their founder created that sucked items from space and brought them to earth. Some of such artifacts were a Martian tactical suit, some tactical gears from not known planets, strange blood samples from un identified beings across the cosmos, an unliftable sword that got stuck in a bolder and their most valued souvenir a prisoner from their greatest enemy the MYSTIQUE MAN a rogue ravager with the biggest army known to all the cosmos. Mystique man once attacked earth during GROSHEN LEVIS reign over the CULTERS but he lost and was sent back to space. However, rumors suggest that mystique man didn't lose the fight instead he fled because he realized a strong being closing by the milky way galaxy.
THE BANISHMENT
In the year 1985 George and Peter were on a mission in the soviet-union to hunt down an alien that had crushed on soviet soils. The cold war was at its peak and the Russians claimed that it was an attack from the USA hence they had an obligation to retaliate by attacking the USA. A war at this critical moment in history would surely end the world due to the nuclear capabilities of both countries. PATRICK LEVIS the father of both George and Peter and also the leader of the CULTERS at the time assembled a team led by George and Peter to go to the soviet to deescalate the tensions building up by claiming it was an asteroid impact and not a nuclear bomb. Patrick knew that it was an alien crash landing and hence knew that the mission was time sensitive and that his team was in a race against the Russian special forces. The CULTERS had advanced technology than the Russians even despite them being based in America the team arrived in the crash spot way earlier than the Russians.
On the crash site a conversation between the members of the CULTERS organization
Peter: hey George what do you think happened here
George: [sighs] I don't know brother let's check it out [addressing the team] do not touch anything without protective gloves they may look shiny but be sure as hell they are deadly
Person 1: we need to clear this up in about 40 minutes before the Russians arrive so if I were you which am not I'd hassle up [laughing maniacally]
Person 2: hey sir come look at this [stammering] I think its blood
George: peter run this with the headquarters I will take the team to follow this blood trail [sighs] this better be good [addressing the team] on me lets go hunt this son of a bitch
George and the team continue to follow the blood trail until they come across a humanoid figure that is the one supposedly bleeding and they have a conversation
George: [addressing the team] hold up Jeremy tell me you are seeing what am seeing
Jeremy: yeah boss am looking at it
The humanoid: [sighs] CULTERS, God forsaken human beings
George: oh! look at that boys we have ourselves a fan
The humanoid: I should have known that you'd be the ones to welcome me to earth
George: [in a serious tone] who else would you expect [sighs] we haven't encountered any alien in over 50 years so, I'm curious my friend what brings you here
The humanoid: I crashed can't u tell. I know humans are dumb but not that dumb
George: [jokingly] we have ourselves a funny one. Boys tie him up [on comms] peter tell me on your side that you are done
Peter: [on comms] we are clear, what about you
George: we are good to go. Damn bro I think we are getting good at this. Prep the jet let's get the hell out this freezing ice hole
The team then takes the alien to the headquarters where they are told that this alien has the same blood components to the other alien that they had kept prisoner for over 50 years. This meant that they had two soldiers of mystique man in their cell. Patrick heads up to the alien and they have a conversation
Patrick: my assistants claim that you crashed landed here but I know you know that I know this was intentional
The humanoid: [jokingly] so what are u supposed to be huh the big bad or the 'know it all'
Patrick: I prefer both [ takes a sip of tea] now if it happens one time that is a co incidence but if it happens two times that is intentional. That is what my father used to tell me when I was young
The humanoid: sounds stupid
Patrick: he was [smiles for a while and then abruptly stops] look I hate to play games so I am going to go straight to the point what does mystique man want with earth
The humanoid: [jokingly] mystique who now
Patrick: [sighs] my son told me you are a funny one. Look I have two of you locked up. Mystique henchmen. If you are not going to talk I just need one. You need to know you are disposable
The humanoid: [sighs] two of us huh so this is where he came
Patrick: good we are making progress now tell me what he wants
The humanoid: [laughs maniacally] you are desperate aren't you Patrick. I don't blame you. You need to be desperate
Patrick: how do you know my name
The humanoid: we all know you Patrick the leader of the CULTERS. So, I will save you some trouble he is coming and earth will bend to his might
Patrick: [sighs] okay that's good. The information you are giving me is of no use. I already know he is coming and we are prepared.
The humanoid: how do you know
Patrick: you make a lot of noise with those cruisers. We detect that noise and guess where you are [smiles] right under our noses
George: [opens the interrogation room abruptly] dad you have to see this
Patrick and George leave the room and head to the checkpoint where they see another ship quickly landing on top of a hospital building. The hospitals name is new life hospital located in the city
Patrick: George take the team there stop them at all cost you hear me
George takes the team to the hospital only to find thousands of hospital personnel and patients killed. They slowly close in to their targets. They narrowed down their search to one room where they opened only to see mystique man with some of his soldiers wounded, in mystique man's hand he had a machine called the soul EXTRAPOLATER. This device was used by numerous aliens to advance their strengths by extrapolating their essence and implanting their essence into a new body that is stronger. George and peter quickly recognized it and they head on attacking mystiques' henchmen they quickly overpower them and proceed attacking mystique man who is very strong and all in a blink George was thrown about 8 meters by just a punch. Mystique man then powers up and sends a great shock wave that kills any one that was in a 3 meters radius. This included George's brother peter, once George realizes this he becomes enraged in anger, he showers mystique man with bullets. Mystique man can't take the force of the bullets and falls down and lands on one of his henchmen's knife that tears his torso in pieces. Due to anger George close in to the body of his enemy and continues to shoot it in the face till it's separated into two. Frustrations leads George to take the SOUL EXTRAPOLATER and tries to extrapolate his brother's essence but the SOUL EXTRAPOLATER already had a soul in it so the extrapolation was not successful. Some minutes later the whole team of the CULTERS led by Patrick arrived at the scene posing to be FBI officials. They did this because their organization was secret and not under any government. Patrick heads into the wards and he is able to see people who died in the confrontation he also sees his son lying dead with most of his skin burnt, he moves on only to find his other son standing on the corpse of mystique man still shooting mystique mans body. He heads over and grabs his son by the arm and they have a conversation;
Patrick: I need you to calm down George what happened
George: (sobbing) dad the intel was off whoever this was he was strong. We didn't stand a chance
Patrick:(heads over and looks over mystique man's body) Jesus Christ. This is mystique man.
George: what
Patrick: son you just eliminated our greatest enemy (laughs emotionally)
George: dad! Do you realize that one of your child's dead!
Patrick: George (sighs) this is a win you have to take it. There will be time to mourn for your brother
George: I just don't get you pa! your son is dead and all you can think of is that I killed one of your generational nemesis.
Patrick: I wont here of this anymore (addressing Michael) Michael take George to the jet he needs medical attention
1 YEAR LATER THE YEAR 1986
After the successful elimination of earth's greatest threat George was arraigned by the council. He was accused of negligence and that he led his whole team including his own brother to their demise. George blamed his father for taking all the credit in the destroying of mystique man and throwing all the blame of the mission's failure back to him. In December 25, the Christmas day George decided to confront his father. He traces his father back in the kitchen and they have a conversation
George: there he is the hero, the one who knows all, the one who makes no mistakes because he throws his mistakes to his son
Patrick: I'm not in the mood for this now
George: if I ever have a son dad (sighs) I hope I be a good father. Better than you ever were
Patrick: you think you were the only one hurting (in a raised tone) I lost my second born that day too
George: (in a raised tone) then why did you blame me for his death. You called me a hero dad, remember that back at the hospital what changed
Patrick: (sighs) you will know what I did once you have a kid of your own.
George: did you tell mum (out of nowhere George's mother budges in the conversation)
Nancy: tell me what
George: (in a serious angry tone) for crying out loud dad
Patrick: son let us do this another time. We are the main branch in the LEVIS family let us please behave.
Nancy: Patrick what were you supposed to tell me
Patrick: Nancy please can we do this later
Nancy: okay we can George keep cool whatever it is I will be told okay
George: and there she is. Why do you do that mum listen to dad all the time
Nancy: you need to take a minute son please it is a family gathering and we are the main LEVIS family please son whatever your father did I will know
George: yeah definitely but you will still support him
Nancy: of cause if he was in the right
George: I am leaving
Patrick: where are you going
George: I don't know
Nancy: please don't do this
George: I have to go I just have to
Patrick: how long
George: as long as it takes
Patrick: you know I can't let you. But there is something I can do
George: do what you have to do dad
George leaves the house and heads to the CULTER'S base of operation where he steals the soul EXTRAPOLATER. George then boards a plane and goes to an African country called Kenya. It is said that destiny will always arrive, whether good or bad if it is meant to be it has to be. Still in 1986 December 31st George met a Kenyan woman and fell in love with. In 1987 October 30th the legend was born. Bruno LEVIS son of George LEVIS and Beatrice LEVIS.
THE COMPLICATION
In 1987 November 18th the young born Bruno was infected with a highly contagious disease and at his age his body was too immature to fight the infection. George and Beatrice looked for solutions in hospitals and other facilities but found none. They had to watch their child die since they had no other option. But George couldn't bring himself to watch another of his family member die. So, he swallowed his pride and contacted his father. They had a conversation
George: (on phone) dad I need your help
Patrick: hey I'm fine thank you for asking
George: dad it is my son he is dying
Patrick: you have a son.
George: I don't know what to do
Patrick: where are you
George: Kenya
Patrick: what, why (sighs) okay you are in luck I am at work am directing you to Francis.
George: thanks dad
Francis: hey George long time no hear your dad filled me in. congrats man
George: thanks brother but the kid is dying I don't know what is happening
Francis: have you tried the hospitals
George: of-course I have
Francis: okay tell me his symptoms
George: (before he could answer his wife wails) babe what is wrong
Francis: George!
Beatrice: he is not breathing your son is not breathing
George: no! no! no! no! this cant be happening
Francis: (still on phone) George! I need you to check on the child's pulse. George! Can you hear me
Beatrice: (crying) no! My child my boy my little boy
George could not believe he was watching his own son dying and he had no power. He tried checking for a pulse but there was no pulse the legend was dead days after he was born. George was wailing in both anger and pain he was destroying everything in his path by either punching it or by kicking it. All over sudden a last-minute thought kicked in. children grow up knowing the love of their mother's but ignore the sacrifices that their father made for them to be alive. This statement holds a lot of power, because this was a desperate father trying to keep his new born baby alive at all cost. Do you remember the SOUL EXTRAPOLATER? Hope you do. Because George decided that he was going to use it to revive his son. The SOUL EXTRAPOLATER as previously stated harvests a person's essence and stores it in itself. Once the essence in the machine is infused in a new body the machine becomes useless. This explains why George didn't use it on peter his brother. The machine also is able to extrapolate essence only in a living organism. There are risks of using the EXTRAPOLATER such risks include;
If the essence in the EXTRAPOLATER is not compatible with the host body both the host body and the essence would die If there is a leak in the machine during the extrapolation process chances of a mental disturbance wave increases rapidly Once the essence is transferred it may take over the body and have its previous memories of it's last lives this would mean whoever would be in Bruno's body would not be Bruno
George was well aware of the consequences but he was desperate and any desperate father without supervision and with the ways to bring his son back to life well what can I say it is only natural.
George quickly hanged up the phone, he knew that if his father knew that he stole the SOUL EXTRAPOLATER he would take it back. He ran back to his bedroom and took the machine and ran to where his son was. Beatrice looked at her husband concerningly but she trusted him. George asked Beatrice to give him Bruno's body which Beatrice did. George quickly inserted the machine on Bruno's torso and the extrapolation process began. Few minutes later George removed the machine since the process was over and checked for a pulse but there was no pulse. George couldn't believe that he was not able to bring his son back he crawled back to a corner crying his head facing the heavens. At times you have to wonder and appreciate a father's love. George had moved heaven and earth for his kid and even though for the moment it seemed all for nothing his efforts should not go unappreciated. As both the parents of the new born baby who was now dead were consoling each other they heard a soft purr. They then heard a soft cry. Their window was open and a soft breeze was brewing on their faces and to their surprise as they looked at their baby's corpse they saw it moving. George could not believe it he ran to his child picked him up and held him up. Beatrice also could not hide her happiness although she did not understand what happened she was glad that Bruno was alive and well.
17 YEARS LATER THE YEAR 2004
Bruno now was a 17-year-old kid all his childhood he lived in Kenya but that was about to change because his father had already made peace with his grand father they were now moving to America in 2 weeks. As a teenager Bruno didn't want to leave his friends in Kenya and would often argue with his parents for forcing him to move to the states. Bruno however, didn't have a choice. Bruno had a dark skin complexion standing at a 6foot 1 in height. He was a little bit muscular and also at this age had a fully developed beard. The kid never had a fight with his parents and he was not a bother to them, considering that the essence inside of him was foreign Bruno acted like a normal person. He had no memory of what had happened to him and grew up as a normal kid would. 2 weeks later the family flew to New York back to his father's real home. They headed straight to the main LEVIS family residence where Nancy Bruno's grandmother welcomed them. Nancy had never seen either Beatrice or Bruno and she had not seen her son for 18 years, she was glad to see her son as a fully realized man. George asked the whereabouts of his father and his mother took him to the master bedroom where George saw his father laying in the bed. Patrick was a strong man but not even him could outrun time, and time was actually overtaking him, he was so weak that he needed a walking stick to even walk. As soon as he saw his son he struggled to wake up and hugged his son sobbing. They had some few chats and George later then introduced his wife and his son to his father who was pleased that the LEVIS main family was actually increasing. A month later George found a school that only people from the LEVIS family go to, he wanted his son to follow his footsteps and also become a CULTER just like he was. One day George took Bruno to the CULTER'S main headquarters as he explained what the CULTERS do and why they do it. This is what a 17-year-old kid always dream of, the thought that his father is a secret super hero always intrigues them. Bruno and George have a conversation;
Bruno: so, what cool stuff do you have here
George: you want to tell me that you didn't find the guns as cool kid
Bruno: come on dad everyone has a gun especially in the states
George: I guess you are right (sighs) you know what let me show you something cool
Bruno: now we are talking
George:(takes Bruno to an underground chamber where they keep the space wormhole machine that they use to collect things from space) now is this cool
Bruno: damn! Its huge what is it
George: my father tells me in a few years we will be able to use it as a counter measure against alien forces
Bruno: but what do you use it for now
George: nothing much just like a junk collector
Bruno: wow! Space junk collector
George: you can say so
Bruno: can I see some of those space junks?
George: oh! Good now you will see something cool (takes him to where they store collected space items) now you see this we have reason to believe that this is Martian tech
Bruno: wow what is it
George: a tactical suit maybe we don't know we have always tried to crack its code but the tech is to advanced
Bruno: can I touch it
George: yeah
Bruno: damn its metallic
As soon as Bruno touches it the suits turns on but George does not notice this
George: hey son come over here you need to see this
Bruno: what
George: I am going to give you 5 thousand dollars if you can be able to lift this sword
Bruno: (jokingly) what is it the unliftable sword
George: you could say that. So you lifting it or not
Bruno: let me get this straight 5 thousand if I lift this
George: pretty much
Bruno: okay you better be ready to give me my money
Bruno heads on to lift the sword and as he is approaching it, it starts emitting low level vibrations. Bruno continues heading to the sword and he grabs it with one hand and effortlessly remove it from the bolder and lifts it
Bruno: seriously dad that has to be the easiest 5 thousand dollars ever. Hope you were not joking
George: how did you do that
Bruno: (JOKINGLY)I headed and picked the sword its easy
As they were talking the sword started to turn to ash as Bruno was holding it. Bruno got scared and jumped to his father. George knew that the sword was unliftable he also had tried in numerous occasions to lift it but failed. As a matter of fact, every member of the LEVIS family since his grandfather's era had tried and failed. But he knew that his son was different, his real son died when he was 19 days old and this was an essence that he implanted to his son's body without even knowing its origin.
Bruno: (breathing heavily) what just happened dad
George: (sighs) I don't know. Hey listen to me son if anyone asks what happened you say that I lifted the sword okay I did, not you
Bruno: why
George: son please if anyone asks
Bruno: 'kay 'kay 'kay as long as you give me 5k
George:(gives Bruno 5k) I touched the sword and it vaporized that's the story 'kay
Bruno: got it dad.
Destiny arrives in every single style, from simple life choices to complicated ones no matter what one does you cannot run from your own destiny. The legend now was officially born, the CULTERS called the sword "the legendary sword" or "the unliftable sword" the origins of the sword was not known but was apparently clear that no one has ever lifted it since its discovery. Bruno lifts it and if that is not worse it vaporizes. George knew if people knew it was Bruno who lifted the sword they would start asking questions so he pinned himself because he knew people knew him so even if they would ask questions they wouldn't get the right answers unlike his son.
Days turned into months and months turned into years Bruno was now 19 years of age, the year was 2006. He had already joined up in the school that his father had enrolled him into. He came to realize that every one in that school was actually his family, from the teachers to the students to even other personnel. He was given special treatment since he was from the main family. This was actually his last year in the school. He had already passed his exams and received letters of invitation from numerous universities.
Meanwhile, while Bruno was living his best life the CULTERS were going through a lull. The CULTERS had destroyed their enemy mystique man but that didn't mean that earth was safe from extraterrestrial attacks. Such form of an attack happened 1 year ago 2005. There were reports of light in the sky and explosions. At this time Patrick had handed over the reigns of the CULTER organization to George. George believed that something might have crash landed to earth but he had no proof of this because there was no impact site to support his theory. Well, that was then, in the year 2006 George's fear became true. A fast-growing crime lord by the name of Nathan started attacking the streets of New York. Gang members who were not in his group were slaughtered. There would be no day where the world would not wake up to devastating news of gang violence. You might wonder why gang violence could become a problem to the CULTERS they dealt with worse. Gang violence is petty considering all the clash they had with space invaders, but there was something special about Nathan, he was strong, by strong I mean really strong. Word has it in the streets that he found a sword last year and since then he gained a lot of power. Others started theorizing that it is magic. Nevertheless, he was a foe that needed to be stopped and the CULTERS had the means to stop him.
On one occasion as the CULTERS led by George were hunting Nathan they came across with his hideout. George wanted the thugs to know that they were surrounded, so he took a loudspeaker and told them to surrender. As he was busy sending his threats, some members of his organization got stabbed with metals appearing from thin air. He then heard Nathan on a loud speaker calling him out claiming that he would kill everyone if George didn't bring himself to him. George had no other choice, so he surrendered and was taken to Nathan where they had a conversation.
Nathan: (smiles) you either have to dumb or stupid to come to my territory
George: (smile back) I think you meant to say brave or dumb
Nathan: no! I meant dumb and stupid. You think this is bravery
George: you don't know who you are dealing with Nathan so I will save you some trouble. I am here for the sword
Nathan: now why would you ask for that
George: I know that it empowered you. But it's a danger to yourself and to others
Nathan: half of New York is my territory not even the national guard can take it off my arms and you come here to threaten me. Typical
George: I am here to warn you. You are not the only one with the sword, we have people stronger than you locked up
Nathan: ooh really now. I hope those weren't the ones I just killed (everyone laughs maniacally)
George: ah (smiles) I just remembered something. If my brother were hear he'd say you are a funny one
Nathan: good thing he is not
George: I am exhausted with warning you. Nathan give up the sword or you will start a war that you will not like
Nathan: you share empty threats. I hate being threatened. I can't stand it. We will make an example out of you
Nathan stands up lift his hand up and all over sudden out of nowhere a sword lands in his arm. He heads close to George scratching the ground with his sword. George is frightened but tries to keep it together Nathan then heads and passes George and he says that they will execute him tomorrow live on tv.
The state had not taken Nathan's threat seriously that's why no action was taken against him. None of the crimes that were done by his gang pointed him out as the offender so not even the CIA paid attention to him. They referred him to as an urban legend a Jesus for the crime world. However, Nathan knew if he actually executes someone live this would give him the spotlight.
The next day Nathan called national media outside his outpost, he told the world what he had done, every police, sheriff, mayor in New York city was under him. He then brought George out and forced him to kneel. He claimed that he was a god and was going to rule earth.
Nathan: (on camera) people love to be afraid. You are meant to be ruled, you are meant to subjected to authority and not this petty governments of the world. No, not those ones. Earth needs one ruler and that ruler has to be me. I will start by killing this garbage and prove that I can kill anyone of you whenever I want to, you will take me seriously. You will have to, that, you have to believe.
After Nathan finished his speech he raised his hand and the sword came straight to his arm. He, then quickly chopped George's head off alongside other CULTER members in front of the world. This caused mayhem, reporters and other city's residents tried to run in all directions just to avoid Nathan's wrath but again from nowhere everyone got pierced with metal in their chests. This happens at once and just in a second 789 people died instantly on live television.
Back at home Beatrice and the other CULTER members watched in disbelief as George's head got separated from his body. Patrick ordered that all LEVIS family members to be called back from all over the world to come back to the states. George became the second leader of the CULTERS to die on duty after GROSHEN who also died on duty. There was mayhem in the family the leader of the CULTERS dead. Beatrice pleaded with Patrick not to tell Bruno about his father. Patrick contacted the school in which Bruno was studying and ordered them not to show any news to the kids in the school.
The national guard, CIA, FBI and all other government organization flooded in the city to fight Nathan. But whenever they attacked Nathan, they continued to fill body bags, as they would all end up dead. Back at school which was located in Texas it was only one day remaining so that Bruno could officially finish high school. Although the management had turn off televisions and confiscated their mobile phones there were rumors circulating about Nathan among the students.
Bruno: hey guys this Nathan story is crazy!
Jack: wait a minute Bruno are you about to bullshit us. Where did you hear the story?
Bruno: what do you mean bullshit you. I have my sources
Jeff: come on then tell us what did you hear
Bruno: damn the guy has turned New York into a waste land
Tom: don't you live there
Jack: yeah, he does
Bruno: well my father probably moved or maybe dealing with the guy
Mrs. Catherine: Bruno come over here
Jack: oh! shit busted
Mrs. Catherine: your grand father has come to take you home
Bruno: but am not due till tomorrow
Mrs. Catherine: I know but he insists go pack your things and get ready to head out
Bruno does as he was told and heads and pack his staff and leaves the facility. His grandfather and grandmother were the ones who came to pick him up. He is surprised since it has always been his father who picks him up. He, however assures himself that everything is alright he assumes that his father probably was in the fight against Nathan. That, however did not stop him to ask his grandparents about his parents.
Bruno: papa why am I leaving the school earlier than the others
Patrick: because your mother suggested it
Bruno: so are you doing anything about that Nathan guy
Nancy: that is not our work kiddo
Bruno: eh! I figured I told the others the CULTERS can't be involved in terrestrial issues
Patrick: that's my boy
Bruno: how is mum by the way
Nancy: (sighs) she is okay
Bruno: good
Patrick:(stammers) you are not going to ask about your father
Bruno: nah! He can take care of himself.
They drive till they reached Chicago where they enter an apartment where Bruno finds his mother sitting close to a window, her eyes were red as of someone who hadn't slept all night crying. As soon as Beatrice saw Bruno she jumped on him crying.
Bruno: (addressing Patrick) papa I thought you said she is okay (addressing his mother) ma! Calm down what happened talk to me
Beatrice: (sits down) Bruno (breaks down to tears and stops abruptly takes a deep breath) your father is dead!
The statement nearly also killed Bruno. His heart started to pound vigorously, he sweated, veins and blood vessels were now visible all over his body. In the same instance the ground started shaking, glasses started breaking and the weather which was at the beginning sunny just changed into a dark one. With dark angry-looking nimbus clouds. Bruno looked at his mother, who was now frightened due to the slight earth tremor and asked her
Bruno: (in a distorted voice) who did it
Beatrice: Bruno! Calm down
Bruno: who did it!
Patrick: it was Nathan
The name Nathan sent chills down to the spine of Bruno he could not believe that the villain who was terrorizing New York and the same person that Bruno aspired to be was the person who killed his father. The anger he had now mixed with fear, his feet started shaking, due to the mental pressure, Bruno fell face first on the ground.
Just as Patrick went to lift Bruno up, Bruno screamed in pain, something was happening, his hair in his head started to fold itself and grow, he bled. Patrick tried to hold him down but that's all he could do. The hair folded itself into dreadlocks. These dreadlocks were black but at the tip of each lock they had a dyed blue color. After the formation of his dreadlocks Bruno calmed down and passed out, Patrick had his organization carry Bruno to his room. Patrick knew that something was wrong and he wanted answers and since his son was dead the only person who could give answers was Beatrice.
Patrick: (in a calm tone) you mind telling me what just happened
Beatrice: (stammering) I don't know that has never happened
Nancy: what is happening to him
Patrick: I need you to try to remember something (sighs) did your son ever die and George bring him to life with a machine
Beatrice: yes, back when he was 18 days old
Nancy: Jesus Christ
Beatrice: what's wrong
Patrick: you say this is the first time something like this has happened
Beatrice: yeah what's wrong
Patrick: George brought your son back to life by giving him another essence
Beatrice: what I don't understand
Nancy: it means that Bruno technically is not your son
Patrick: true
Beatrice: that's not true. I gave birth to him
Patrick: (in a raised tone) yes and your child died the only thing that is your child is the body (sighs) how could he have been so reckless
Beatrice: so what do we do. I hope you are not suggesting to kill my son
Patrick: no, of-course not he is okay. But it seems whoever soul was extrapolated his essence was powerful
Patrick knew the consequences of implanting an essence into a living body, but he never knew if there were disadvantages in planting an essence into a dead body. On the other-side of the room to be specific the bedroom Bruno had already calmed down his temperature had dropped up-to a moderate value. He had a new look as dreads and a complete facial hair had formed. While he was sleeping he had a dream where he was talking to his father. It was more like a vision.
George: hey kiddo
Bruno: dad! I thought you were dead
George: oh! I am dead but I had to say goodbye to my son
Bruno: (sobbing) maybe I could have done something to prevent this from ever happening
George: come on son you couldn't have done anything so stop beating yourself up. Not yet
Bruno: what do you mean
George: you are powerful Bruno and I know one day you will become a living symbol of hope to the world. I want you to be different, be a hero not a CULTER you are not meant for the shadows you thrive most in the light
Bruno: I don't get it dad
George: listen son things that are going to happen from now onwards will seem strange. Your papa might tell you something but you should know I did it for you son
Bruno: what
George: I need you to promise me you will stay safe son
Bruno: huh
George: (vanishing) promise me
Bruno: I promise
George completely vanishes as Bruno wakes up only to find himself in his own room although his head had been wiped off the blood he still had some blood stains. He stood up confused and terrified, he had a strong head ache he could feel that his senses had doubled, his muscles had buffed, his brain activity had never been more active and to top it off he had dreads which at the tip were blue. He thought he was dreaming ,he walked towards the living room and found his mother and papa speaking they tried to reach for him but he was able to evade them and walked towards the balcony where he looked up in terror still not believing that his father was dead tears rolled down his face as he looked up, he accumulated air in his lungs until they were unable to swallow more air and then suddenly wailed in pain and anger. Bruno's eyes were blue, his fist tighter than ever before. Patrick followed Bruno to the balcony and he was talking and encouraging Bruno to follow his dad's footsteps and become a CULTER and lead the family into avenging the death of his father. Bruno however, brushed off his grand pa and left the balcony and headed straight to his room. Three weeks later the war between the national guard and Nathan and his goons subsided for a day. During this day the CULTERS were able to retrieve George's body along with the other CULTERS who were killed by Nathan and his goons. They immediately organized the burial ceremony and buried George and the others. In this process Bruno chose not to go to his father's burial but instead chose to stay at home and grieve his own way. Few months later Bruno was enrolled into a public university in California where he was going to spend his next four years in. Bruno's dream was always to be a nuclear physicist. So, he pursued the course. The war against Nathan was not over it was only intensifying New York became ground zero for the war. Nathan grew stronger every minute from occupying one block in the city to almost engulfing the whole city. Goons who had associated with Nathan called him god a super natural being who can kill dozens in a matter of seconds with only just a thought. Nathan also had the legendary sword that empowered him and unlike the sword that was in the possession of the CULTERS his sword didn't vanish when he wielded it. Mostly the sword was able to summon, create metals out of thin air. He could also direct the created metals to his target with minimum chances of him missing. It also was able to cause earth tremors and in theory use earth as a weapon. Nathan, who now had the USA worried had become a national threat the USA officials decided that they would use everything against Nathan who was almost occupying the whole of the island. Police officers who were in the city were murdered and all criminal gangs who opposed Nathan were executed. The CULTERS also fought with Nathan and his goons but most were killed in the confrontation. Nathan had captured some of the CULTER members and wanted to know if they were government agents. He later came to realize that they were free agents from a single family called the LEVIS family. He also realized that this organization dealt with extraterrestrial threats and had artifacts that were powerful in their possession. All of that information didn't intrigue the mass killer well, that was not until he had the story of the sword that disappeared in the hand of Bruno the son of the man he first executed in public. Nathan got the mads on Bruno he wanted him so bad that he made it his personal mission to capture every CULTER just to bring Bruno out. In those few months after getting admitted in the institution Bruno quickly made friends with other trainees in the facility. He had two most reliable friends a girl and a boy. The girl was named rose while the boy was Boniface. The relationship between Boniface and Bruno was unbreakable they had only known each other for a few months and yet they felt like they knew each other for years. They had eyes on one lady and as you've guessed yes rose. Rose was literally an angel. Literally. She was a brown skinned girl with the darkest of eyes, her breasts were humongous while her neck was slim, she had a slim waist but huge thighs and ass. She was about 5.5 in height, had long hair that was dark in color. To sum it all up rose was a perfect creation and both Bruno and Boniface were in love with her. One day as the friends were out in a party that was hosted with one of their course-mate, Bruno and rose had a chance to speak. Although they were friends Bruno didn't disclose much about his family. Rose wanted to know more about Bruno so she asked him about his mother and Bruno happily described his mother to rose. Unaware of Bruno's father incident rose asked Bruno about his father. This recreated the feeling of loosing his father all again, it rejuvenated the feelings Bruno had hid from himself. He stood up and walked out of the premises to get some air. Rose followed Bruno at a distance and she had already figured out that Bruno's father was dead.
Bruno was as most people would say a feelings guy. Even the least detail if not done perfectly he would complain and not feel comfortable. Now, what rose had just asked him was not a tiny question. The death of George affected Bruno the most but he was unaware of that because he kept all the pain at bay by not talking about his father. Rose quickly placed her hand on Bruno's shoulder and asked him to tell him what happened. Bruno explained everything to rose, he could not believe that he was crying he thought that he had already healed up but it seems he was just beginning to come to terms that he would never see his father again. Due to this trust that Bruno showed to rose she became more attracted to him and wanted to show him that they could be more than friends. Bruno and rose went back to the party and got drunk like crazy Bruno couldn't even stand on his own and when the party came to conclusion Bruno Boniface and rose went home. They lived in the same block in calif. As they were walking down the street drunk they saw 3 people at a distance but they just assumed but the closer they got the three people started to look familiar since they were wearing Nathan's signature costume. [Nathan was a strict crime-lord who wanted everyone in his gang recognized as his property he imposed a rule that everyone in his gang should wear a costume, a black tank written king Nathan and a black sweat pant also written king Nathan] the closer they got rose realized that those men were Nathan's henchmen. Rose was at parole, she had to deal with carrying both Bruno and Boniface who were both drunk and on the other hand work out a solution to avoid the men. As rose was contemplating on what to do, the men were dead in front of them. They were also drunk and they stopped and started blubbing out nonsense. Rose tried to avoid them but the men kept on following her. She couldn't run because she had two drunk boys that relied on her. The vagabonds went on ahead to touch her ass. That quickly angered rose she carefully placed Bruno and Boniface down and all in a second picked them up again. Nathan's men were all down beaten to the pulp almost half dead. One of those men was lucky to escape Rose's wrath and quickly went to the air port boarded a flight to New York to say what he had witnessed. Early next morning Bruno quickly woke up, he had a nightmare and his head was in pain. He stood up went to the kitchen and filled a glass with water. As he was filling the glass he suddenly had a much severe headache than the previous one he dropped down to his knees and lost grip of the glass. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Instead of the water splashing on the ground, it was floating around. He quickly stood up and supported his body using the kitchen's sink. The kitchen sink was metallic, right after he established a grip on the sink he started to hear some funny sounds, more like a wheezing, screeching sound. This sound is mostly made by electric currents. His dreads suddenly changed color to blue. The dreads also stood steadily up confirming that there was an electrical field in the area. Bruno was overwhelmed with everything that was happening to him but it was only getting weirder. He made a mistake and looked at his hand, the one that he had placed on the sink and saw blue sparks. He quickly removed his hand from the sink and went back on his knees. He started talking to himself asking 'what is happening to me' he asked this question several times. Then he heard a voice telling him to give in. Bruno didn't understand he was alone in his house and nobody had his key so it was impossible that there was somebody in the house. Rose had dropped him off and took Boniface to his house and she had also gone to her own house. The voice kept telling him give in. pressure accumulated and Bruno had no choice but to give in he majestically shouted in a loud voice, this was followed by a large thunder sound and fell face first to the ground. Bruno now realized that his life was about to change. Last time when he had almost the same episode he thought it was the effects of the sword that seemed to have disappeared. Now, he couldn't tell if it was the effects of the sword or something else. Later that day Bruno decided to check rose at her place. As he was going to roses' residential area. He used the same road that they had used yesterday while they were drunk. Bruno saw that the road was charred. He thought that he might've had something to do with it so as soon as he arrived at roses' place he decided to ask her if she saw something weird happening to him. Rose and Bruno had a conversation
Rose: (sighs) so let me get this straight. You think we were attacked by Nathan's men. What makes you think something like that occurred?
Bruno: I am very sure something happened rose I just don't know what.
Rose: (stammering) so, why did you come to me.
Bruno: you were the only one that was sober last night. I thought you may have seen Nathan's men
Rose: (sighs in relief) aw Bruno you were wasted nothing happened. Talking about yesterday did you have a good time.
Rose was smart she knew the only way to shift Bruno's attention to something else was ask him 'bout yesterday. Although rose thought the conversation was uncomfortable on her part, Bruno on the other hand was regretting asking the question at first. Both Bruno and rose had something that they were hiding from each other, their insecurities and trust issues held them back from telling each other about their secret. So instead of telling each other the truth they proceeded lying to each other's face. They lied till it became a serious lie. Just to shift the attention away from the topic that Bruno had come up with they found themselves kissing. While Bruno and rose while hooking up the thug that had escaped roses' wrath arrived in New York and went straight to Nathan's hideout where he found Nathan and they had a conversation
Thug: sir there is something you should know
Nathan: (surprised) and who are you again
Thug: I am one of your employees, sir. Posted in California. I have something that I think needs your attention
Nathan: (smiling) this ought to be good. Go on
Thug: sir I am here to inform you that there is another individual that is enhanced as you are.
Nathan: (stop smiling abruptly) what! What did you just say
Thug: sir there is someone like…
Nathan: (cuts the thug short) I heard you the first time. It was a rhetorical question I heard you the first time. (talks to himself) this has to be the other sword wielder. (addresses the thug) how did he look.
Thug: sir. it was not a man
Nathan: what
Thug: it was a woman
Nathan: (talks to himself) that CULTER he thought he could fool me. He thought by telling me that it was a boy I would never find the wielder of the sword such a fool
Thug: what should I do sir. how should I proceed
Nathan: where are your comrades
Thug: blasted dead. They turned into ash right after the incident.
Nathan: (addressing his commander) Jacob keep the national guard busy for me for a while. I have somebody that I need to visit
Jacob: sure sir. same tactics as usual
Nathan: yes! (addressing his army) not for long. We are not going to do this for long. I was meant for greatness and you lot are also too. New York will be ours after this. Maybe I will get bored and takeover the whole country after but we will prevail against these motherfuckers. Hold this block and the others that we have occupied mobilize the foot soldiers tell them just a little longer and I will wipe the national guard out of the face of New York. (crowd cheering) (addressing the thug) take me to her.
Nathan quickly carries the thug and jumps so high. Although Nathan can not fly, he is able to make long jumps and this helps him reach to his destination a lot quicker. Rose at the time was actually in class. She and Bruno together with Boniface had a math class. As rose was looking outside using the window she was alarmed as she saw the thug that had managed to escape. She still couldn't believe her eyes as she saw Nathan next to the thug. The thug was showing Nathan where the blast had happened. The road was close to roses' school. Rose freaked out and quickly took her bag and walked out of the class. Boniface was concerned and he followed her. Bruno didn't seem to care he still sat down and continued with his class. Boniface quickly caught up with rose and asked her what was wrong. Rose quickly said that she remembered that she had something to do and it was urgent. Boniface asked if he could help but rose said that it was private. This made Boniface to take a step back and let rose do what she wanted to do. Rose quickly headed out of the campus and went to face Nathan and the thug. She appeared behind them.
Rose: (sighs) I can't believe this. The mighty king Nathan here at my campus. I don't know how I should greet you. Should I kneel it seems appropriate.
Nathan: so, I finally found you. You have done well to avoid me I give you that.
Rose: what do you want Nathan. Are you here to kill me, because if that's the reason I will kill you as I killed those goons you sent after me.
Nathan: I am not here to kill you. You could say I am here to know you and ask you to hand over your sword.
Rose: what sword
Nathan: don't play smart with me young girl. I know you are an enhanced individual and the only thing that can make you accomplish such a feat of killing my men has to be the sword.
Rose: wait a minute. You think my power comes from wielding a sword that's so pathetic.
Nathan: (shocked) you don't have a sword. Then where does your power come from
Rose: you killed my friend's father if I were you I would leave before I lose my temper if you don't you will know where my power comes from.
Nathan: a threat this is rich. I killed your friend's father but I have killed a lot of people. I need that sword, I know you have it give it to me or else I will kill you and do a favor to that friend of yours by uniting him with his dead dad.
Bruno was still in class, Boniface returned to the class face downwards, Bruno thought that Boniface was shooting his shot on rose, he had not told him that rose and him kissed. Bruno suddenly moved his head facing the direction of the window. He was shocked to see Nathan outside his campus. His heart pounded fast he was frightened he couldn't control his trembling body. He thought he had already seen it all. He had already come up with a decision that he wouldn't interfere with Nathan not until he saw that rose was with Nathan. Bruno quickly got up angrily left the campus and met up with Nathan, rose and the thug
Bruno: you, pathetic son of a bitch. New York was not enough for you
Rose: Bruno! Go back to class I will handle this cool down
Bruno: do you know who I am Nathan do you really know who I am.
Nathan: dead! (laughs maniacally) let me guess you are her friend. Is he the one that I killed his father.
Bruno: (clenching his fist) you murderer
Nathan: okay! That's something unclench those fists of yours now
Rose: (moves towards Bruno and pleads with him to unclench his fist) Bruno please trust me go back to class let me deal with this
Bruno: (referencing Nathan) you killed my father to make a statement. In front of the world I will never forgive you
Nathan: wait a minute. Your dad was that CULTER dude. Interesting
Bruno was raging mad he had finally been able to stand up to Nathan and actually threatened him. He liked that feeling. The more he responded back to Nathan the more confidence he garnered. Nathan on the other hand suddenly got this chill, he was confused, he didn't know what to believe. Bruno was standing there a living proof, the one who had the sword. And there was rose who he had previously thought that she was the one with the sword. As they were arguing, all of their hair raised up high facing the sky. Bruno was getting fed up and as always hair raising up symbolized the presence of an electrical field. Nathan looked deep in Bruno's eyes and he knew it was Bruno's doing. Quickly he drew out his sword and summoned thousands of metals that floated on air. Rose quickly clenched her fist, she didn't know that the electrical field was Bruno's doing she thought it was Nathan causing it. Bruno lifted his hand and directed it to Nathan's face.
Bruno: I am going to kill you
Nathan: bring it
All over sudden a loud thunder was heard. All the metals that Nathan had summoned turned molten and fell to the ground. Also, a newly constructed complex that was not in use got struck by lightening and got destroyed instantly. Right after this Bruno fell face first to the ground, rose quickly punched Nathan and the thug at the same time sending them flying a few hundred meters. She quickly took Bruno and ran back to the campus with him. The campus was in mayhem, people were running around in shock. What had occurred between Nathan, Bruno, rose and the thug nobody knew or even saw that. Nathan, after being punched woke up and saw that the thug he got punched with was dead. He dared not go after rose and Bruno, he was afraid of the power that Bruno possessed. Despite his fear he got obsessed with Bruno's power which he knew came from the sword. Due to this realization Nathan decided he would stop playing mind games with the special forces. He decided as he was heading home to kill all of them so that he could have New York as his training ground. He had realized that Bruno was too powerful for him to handle at his state and to make even matters worse, rose was another enhanced who also seemed too much for Nathan to handle. On the other hand, rose quickly took Bruno to the campus nurse, she was confused what had happened to Bruno one minute he was okay while the other he was facing down on the ground. Could Nathan have done this, this question kept ringing in her mind. She had confirmed Bruno's pulse, she was sure he was alive. The nurse, after carefully examining Bruno gave a diagnosis that Bruno wasn't resting and he simply passed out due to exhaustion. Meanwhile, Boniface approached rose, Boniface had seen everything that had happened between rose, Bruno, the thug and Nathan. He quickly confronted rose asking her how she was able to send Nathan and his goon flying with just one punch each. Rose was stunned, she didn't know how to explain, she was sure no one saw what had happened, she decided to ignore Boniface by telling him it was not the right time to talk about what he had seen. However, she pleaded with Boniface to keep what he had seen private. As they were discussing Bruno finally regained conciseness. He looked at both Boniface and rose and wailed in pain that he had let the man who had killed his father go. Rose asked the nurse to give them the room so that they could talk.
Rose: what could you have done Bruno, I mean it was Nathan. You couldn't do anything
Boniface: the fact that you stood up to him makes you brave enough, it gives you all the credit
Bruno: I could've done something
Boniface: he destroyed that five floors complex to ash Bruno to ash. I mean I saw the whole thing you stood no chance
Rose: why did you even raise your hand directing it to Nathan. You seemed so sure you could kill him
Bruno: that's because I can kill him. I was the one who destroyed that complex
In unison: what
Rose: what are you even saying
Bruno: sometime back I found this sword. My dad told me that it was impossible to lift but I easily removed it from the rock it got stuck on. But soon after I lifted it, it turned to ash.
Rose: Nathan was looking for a person who has a sword
Boniface: so, he will come back. Am I right
Rose: yes, and now he knows about your power
Boniface: damn. This is cool, my best friend has powers. I gat to figure out your super hero name.
Bruno: no! bro am not a hero, I just want to kill that bastard and avenge my father
Rose: so, lightening is your power
Bruno: I guess so
Boniface: can you fly
Bruno: I can float
Rose: laser eyes
Bruno: guys, don't act crazy
Boniface: can you just tell me if you can lift heavy objects
Rose: teleport
Boniface: write names in a book and a person dies instantly
Rose: what, that's not a super power
Boniface: it is, haven't you watched the death note
Rose: that's anime bro. that's anime
Bruno: (smiling) guys, I need to train. I don't even know my power let alone control it
Rose: I know just the place.
Rose came from a rich family her father died in a car incident and her mother got depressed and went to live with her family. Roses' mother had previously insisted rose to go with her but rose always declined. Her father had left a large ranch in Texas. Rose had it all to herself and summer break was approaching. She suggested that instead of them going home for the summer break they could go to her 20-acre ranch where Bruno could train all he wanted. They all agreed, and when summer break arrived they went to Texas and Bruno started training. There were several cars in the compound, he started by lifting them, though he struggled at first but after a few days he could be able to raise one car without putting much effort. The second week Bruno started training his flight capabilities. Each time Bruno tried to fly, he would either jump very high and fall back again or he would cause a class 2 tornado. Rose noticed this and she realized Bruno didn't have flight capabilities instead he was able to manipulate the wind that was in the immediate vicinity and float, using her analysis she urged Bruno to listen to the wind and manipulate it to his advantage. Flying, to Bruno was a bit hard it took him two weeks for him to even float without causing earth tremors. He soon gave up on flying and proceeded to lightening manipulation. Rose recommended that he starts of small scale by trying to manipulate the electrical pulses within his body. He tried and in-a-few-days, he was able to release a few sparks from his fingers. Boniface then crazily made a funny suggestion that involved Bruno using lightening from the sky but instead of a large lightening he tries to summon a smaller lightening. Rose was intrigued with that suggestion she wanted to see Bruno's power at point blank range that she forgot to review the consequences of Bruno actually using the power itself. Bruno quickly breathed in deeply and exhaled, he did this for almost a whole minute. Rose, earlier had told Bruno that the breathing technique helped someone to focus. After finishing, Bruno steadily closed his eyes and now everything started not to go according to plan. Thick black nimbus clouds gathered and covered the entire rocky-mountains. In a minute all their hair raised up, a violent thunder was heard and Bruno's locks turned glowing blue. Rose tried to tell Bruno to stop but he could not hear since there was a big tornado forming also. As soon as he opened his eyes, rose and Boniface could not believe to see that Bruno's eyes were blue in color. Bruno quickly looked for a target and he found a small plank of wood, he decided that he would electrify it, he raised his hand and directed it to the plank of wood. A loud thunder and blast were heard, Bruno did not hit the wood instead he had blown one of roses' tractors and made a large crack all over her ranch. Soon after accomplishing this Bruno passed out. Rose and Boniface took Bruno inside for him to take a rest. Rose and Boniface, after laying Bruno on a bed had a conversation.
Rose: he is too powerful
Boniface: damn right. You've seen all this damage
Rose: if that was a person or a building
Boniface: yeah, they would die
Rose: this is great
Boniface: I don't get it what is great about this
Rose: it means Nathan doesn't stand a chance against Bruno
Boniface: that would be true if Bruno actually struck what he was aiming for. Rose this power Bruno has is like a double-edged sword. One wrong move and it could kill him or innocent people
Rose: I know, that's why he is training
Boniface: what about you
Rose: what about me
Boniface: your power
Rose: I thought we agreed not to talk about it. It is not the right time
Boniface: be honest with me rose what are you. I already know that Bruno's power comes from him touching a sword. I don't know where you get your power from
Rose: (sees her area mates pulling over) we can talk about this later. (addressing the mates) hey Christine
Christine: you got hit too with that freak nature lightening.
Charles: no! you got hit much worse
Rose: yeah, I guess god must be angry with us
Charles: I was just able to put out fire that was spreading throughout my field. That lightening was something.
Christine: anyway rose, we came to make sure that you were okay
Rose: yeah, am okay
A few days later Bruno woke up, rose and Boniface were not in the house at the time, Bruno got up and looked outside saw all the damage he had caused, he went inside the house and packed his bags and left for home. He booked a flight to Chicago. When he arrived, he told his family about what had happened to him and how he was unable to control his power. Patrick, his grandfather took Bruno to where they used to keep valuable items that they had acquired in space using their porthole machine. He showed Bruno things that even his father didn't show him during his first visit. Patrick then showed Bruno a suit, this was the same suit that his father had shown him during their first visit. Bruno then claimed that his father had already told him about the suit but Patrick insisted that there was more that only he knew. Patrick said that the suit was from the planet mars. He said that during his interrogation with one of mystique's henchmen he found out that the habitants of mars used this suit to control their powers. Bruno was intrigued with this but his grand pa told him not to raise his hope since the suit hasn't respond to anyone since its discovery. Bruno then claimed that it lit up the last time he touched it. Patrick then told Bruno to touch it and as soon as he did the suit turned on and delivered a bracelet to Bruno's hands. Patrick tried to tell not to wear the bracelet but he didn't listen. Bruno wore the bracelet and as soon as he did the suit disappeared. They realized that what they saw as the suit was actually a camouflage. There was a tiny red button on the bracelet and Bruno clicked on it. soon enough, from the bracelet, a suit started covering Bruno's body. The suit was made out of nanotech.
Suit: (in a computer voice) identifying host. Verifying host. Welcome Mr. Bruno, I am FIONA an upgraded exoskeleton designed for combat activities and defense management. I have an enabled flight system able to maintain for four days. I am solar powered and gives my host an interface.
Bruno: an exoskeleton?
Fiona: yes. Nuclear war heads detected, engaging the enemy
Bruno: wait! What do you mean engaging enemy
Fiona: should I disengage sir. this country called the united states of America has over three thousand nuclear war heads. They need to be destroyed or your planet will be destroyed.
Bruno: just disengage Fiona. I know that there is a nuclear crisis, but we always figure it out
Fiona: sir, you are a human, how did I respond to you
Bruno: you are the computer you should tell me.
Fiona: you are giving off some weird radiation, you have to be an enhanced human. I have come up with an analysis.
Bruno: okay
Fiona: I am designed to be blunt sir. I should warn you I will utter things that may be hurtful shall I still proceed with the analysis.
Bruno: (hesitates) I guess so
Fiona: good, the analysis is even though you might be an enhanced individual whatever gave you the power that am detecting didn't do much for your brain. Your weak mental capacity can not fathom the power that you hold hence you can not be able to control the so-called power. I have backed up my theory by using one of your human satellite and analyzing the geo-storm signatures around Texas three days ago
Bruno: you hacked a satellite
Fiona: I did.
Bruno asked Fiona to help him learn how to use his powers. Bruno claimed that every-time he tried to use his power it would either work violently or not work at all. Fiona gave an analysis that claimed Bruno's mental capabilities couldn't fathom handling such raw power. Fiona was a Martian tech-tactical suit that was designed to help Martians to use their power effectively. Unlike Bruno, Martians used the Fiona suit to mitigate their organic limits of their body. An example, in case they were in battle and a Martian gets exhausted and cannot be able to control his power, the Fiona suit would takeover establishing a neuro-kinetic link between the suit and the Martian, hence, during battle when it came to tuff, long-lasting and mind games Martians always had the edge against their enemy. The Fiona suit, was not a perfect creation it also had its flaws. This are the flaws the suit had
The suit was not indestructible, hence during prolonged fights with a tough opponent the risk of the suit being damaged increased exponentially. The suit was only solar powered so it would not function in planets where sun or a large, bright celestial mass was not available. Even though Fiona is an advanced AI it is still affected by viruses and advanced hackers could breach its firewalls.
How Fiona suit was going to help Bruno, the suit would establish a neuro-kinetic link to Bruno's brain adding more power to Bruno's mental activity hence he would be able to control his power more efficiently than before. As for the hardware, in-terms of its appearance, the suit was fully black in color, made from a strong metal. (the metal is called plutonium. It is the strongest metal in this universe, though highly reactive, for it to be used it has to be mixed with VILTRUN another strong metal to create an alloy that makes it more durable and less reactive.) on its chest it had a large name tag called REWARDER that was glowing blue, had a cape made out of nanite bots that was black in color, it had a mask that covered Bruno's mouth and nose region, this mask would connect with a part of the suit that had formed a thin layer of head band that covered his forehead. Bruno was motivated, even though he hadn't tested the suit yet he already felt that he had control. He decided to test it out. He quickly ran and suddenly jumped to the sky and to his surprise he didn't fall over as he used to instead he was floating or rather say flying. The national government of USA picked Bruno's signal, by using one of their satellites. The wondered what that could be, others started freaking out claiming that they had to deal with two weird things at the same time. The commandant in-charge commanded the F-22 jets to tail this new entity and to eliminate him upon having a stable target range. As Bruno was flying around Fiona gave Bruno a warning, it said that it had detected two fighter jets approaching. Fiona advised Bruno to fire at the fighter jets but Bruno declined the offer, instead, as soon as the jets caught up to him, he boosted himself away creating five sonic booms in a matter of thirty-two seconds. One of the fighter jet pilots exclaimed, 'what the fuck! Did I just hear five sonic-booms' the fighter jets then returned to base since they could not follow something that was that fast, back at the headquarters even the satellite that had detected Bruno was not able to keep up with his speed. Bruno, headed to roses' ranch it was approximately three days since he had left without saying a thing to both rose and Boniface. It took Bruno 45 seconds to arrive in Texas where roses' ranch was located, as soon as he did he landed and went to the house. Rose was on her tractor, trying to pass her time away whereas Boniface was inside the house reading a book. Bruno found Boniface and they had a conversation.
Bruno: hey! Guess who's back
Boniface: (looks at Bruno without any expression) hey
Bruno: c'mon bro can't you see what I have, this suit can help me control my powers
Boniface: (facing the book) good for you
Bruno: did I do anything wrong bro. I mean I should've told you that I am going I just didn't think its necessary
Boniface: it wasn't
Bruno: then, what's with the attitude
Rose: (enters the house and budges in the conversation) you left, we thought you were taken by Nathan, I thought you were taken by Nathan.
Bruno: rose! Hey I am sorry I didn't tell you I was leaving I was trying to keep you safe
Boniface: safe, are we safe Bruno, really ok! Safe
Rose: you just showed me what kind of man you are Bruno. You always have to be the main character in everyone's life huh. If you are trying to keep us safe then leave now.
Bruno: are you kidding, coz I can't tell
Boniface: she said leave
Bruno: (confused) okay. I will leave.
Bruno then heads-out, his retracted mask comes back on and he jumps to the sky and vanishes. Rose then heads to Boniface's direction kneels down and hugs him. Boniface comforts rose by pumping his hand on roses' back to make her comfortable. Bruno was fed up, confused, angry and was now ready to make one very stupid decision. He decided that he would go to New York and kill Nathan to avenge his father. The military again picked up Bruno's signal as he was flying to the island. They wondered why he was heading to New York. They quickly contacted the military in the island to withdraw from the island since if Bruno was an ally to Nathan they decided to nuke the island and be rid of both of them. They didn't attack Bruno as he headed to the island. Bruno arrived at the island and headed straight to where Nathan was the place he had conquered first. Nathan saw this humanoid figure and immediately knew it was Bruno. Bruno was floating on air and heading closer to Nathan's location, Nathan quickly looked up and summoned his sword, he didn't even mind standing up from his chair. After summoning his sword, he pierces it to the ground and then looks at Bruno who was still floating and smiled at him. He later asked his goons to bring out a chair for Bruno to sit on.
Nathan: I was wondering why the national guard was retreating from the island
Bruno: (after taking his seat) I am not here to talk
Nathan: yeah! I know that. You are here to kill me. But how will you do that if you try to save everyone from the nuke that the government will send
Bruno: I am no hero
Nathan: they don't know that. How can they trust a masked person? For all they know you could be my ally
Bruno: just as I said am no hero
Nathan: so, why am I not yet dead
Bruno: truthfully, I don't know why. Maybe because if we fight we might end up destroying the world
Nathan: there you were saying you were no hero
Bruno: I didn't say that I never cared
Nathan: if I am not going to die what are you doing here.
Bruno: my family is complicated, you might have killed my dad but to him he died in the line of duty. It was war.
Nathan: would you say what you want to say and leave. However, calm I might look I don't want to deal with a nuke
Bruno: (stands up and floats) I forgive you Nathan. That's what I came to say to you
Nathan: (smiles and stands up) well you could have sent an email. I can't trust a masked guy
Bruno flies away leaving Nathan talking to himself. He proceeds home and arrives meeting his mother. They had a conversation then headed to take diner. As they were enjoying their meal they saw news that highlighted that Nathan had killed 996 people plus security officer since the beginning of the siege. It illustrated that the 96 people were killed today all of them being the national guard. Bruno took the remote and turned off the television. His mother asked him what he was going to do about Nathan. Bruno looked at her and asked her what he could do. He said that even if they fought he wasn't sure enough that was strong enough to defeat him and even if he was they would end up killing many people hence not benefiting. His mother looked at him, stood up and went to their shelf where she obtained the picture of her husband. She then came back sat down and gave Bruno the photo. She then asked Bruno, what would his dad do if he were alive. Bruno looked deep into his mother's eyes and said that he would only warn Nathan from killing civilians. He tapped his bracelet and the Fiona suit covered his entire body and then flew back to the island. The government then got the signal and as always prepared for the worst. Nathan, as he was training in a school field, suddenly felt a cold breeze slapping his face. He looked towards the sky and saw dark nimbus clouds forming, he immediately knew it was Bruno. He took up his fighting stance patiently waiting for Bruno. Bruno then arrived suddenly, he was about thirty meters above the ground, he then forcefully landed breaking the ground then started heading towards Nathan. Nathan quickly summoned metals from underneath but Bruno quickly used lightening without even waving his hand and melted all the metals again. Nathan was experiencing DEJAVU, due to this he started moving backwards in fear. He moved backwards till he reached the fence and could not move anymore.
Nathan: I knew I shouldn't have trusted you
Bruno: you killed 96 people today. After we met 96. That was crossing the line
Nathan: I thought you said you are no hero
Bruno: I am not, but my mother is. She insists you stop and I am here to deliver that message to you. Stop killing people
Nathan: (carefully places his sword to the ground) this is war kid people have to die
Bruno: no! you are confused Nathan, you are a criminal, a murderer and a fraud. If it were up to me I would have killed you already. This is your first and last warning.
Nathan: are you threatening me
Bruno then floats and flies away. What Bruno didn't know is that he had created a monster out of Nathan. Nathan's goons had seen how he was embarrassed by Bruno. He knew that the scene had costed him his respect and in order to earn it back the only way was to humble Bruno. So, since that day Nathan kept training till he was able to master metal manipulation. Nathan didn't stop there, he wasn't yet satisfied he continued training till he was able to master earth manipulation. He tested his limits one day by actually imploding a full cargo plane that was flying around the island heading to California. During these months Bruno had returned to campus for his last semester in the campus. His only friends, Boniface and rose were mad at him and it seemed that they were actually dating. Bruno, after realizing this decided not to act rush but instead do the mature thing and respect their affair.
One day as Bruno was heading back to his house he met with Boniface, he tried avoiding him but Boniface walked to him and talked with him. Boniface explained how he and rose actually got together. Bruno was fine with it and congratulated Boniface for actually winning the love of rose. He knew deep down for a fact that rose did not tell Boniface about their relationship and so he assumed that whatever they had was nothing serious. As he reached his house Boniface left and headed to his house Bruno then opened the door and got in only to find rose waiting for him.
Rose: I know what you are going to say. Don't say it
Bruno: okay
Rose: listen, I am sorry for the radio silence Bruno I just had to deal with a lot
Bruno: nah! We are cool rose
Rose: no! we are not I was selfish
Bruno: does he know
Rose: does who know
Bruno: you did not tell him about us
Rose: neither did you
Bruno: he is my friend
Rose: he is mine too
Bruno: you can't just show up un-announced. Not anymore
Rose: I am just apologizing
Bruno: alone in my house. That was locked, how did you even obtain the key. On second thought I don't want to know
Rose: (opening the door) are you okay Bruno
Bruno: I am
Rose: (leaving) good.
Bruno quickly closes the door right after rose steps out. He activates his suit and asks Fiona to play some songs to keep him calm he jumps to his bed and dozes off. The next-morning he woke up just like any other day and got himself ready to go to class. He opened his door and closed it behind him and went to class. He always wore an ear piece that he actually got the schematics of making it from Fiona. Fiona, during class told Bruno that the government was fed up with Nathan and had actually decided to bomb New York anyway. After receiving this message, Bruno stood up and left the room. He went to his house and wore the Fiona suit made sure that nobody was watching and flew away. He had instructed Fiona to locate where the base handling Nathan's case was. Fiona then deployed glasses that were computerized that showed where exactly the base was located. Bruno flew to that location only to find the USA army ready to deal with him. He said he would surrender only if he could talk to the commanding officer. The commanding officer accepted Bruno's offer.
Bruno: I am only talking to the commanding officer
John: well my name is john Jacobs the general of this front. What do you want
Bruno: to talk. I have reason to believe that you are planning to nuke the island
John: how did you obtain this information
Bruno: it doesn't matter. I am here to tell you not to make such a mistake
John: listen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You can't come here and give me orders. I am the commanding officer of this front and who are you. No one, no name, no face, just a mask and a big-name tag on your chest. Should I call you the rewarder
Bruno: if you want to
John: why would I listen to a person who kept visiting Nathan.
Bruno: I went to threaten him
John: well it obviously didn't work
Bruno: what do you mean
John: (sighs) what do you mean what do I mean do you live in a cave or something. Nathan just caused an implosion of a cargo plane
Bruno: he did what
John: the higher -ups want him gone. Its better to get rid of the weed from the root
Bruno: what about the collateral damage
John: you are in no position of asking questions. You are my prisoner that's why you are in cuffs
Bruno: (breaking the cuffs) this is a gesture of good faith. It means if I wanted to escape or kill you I could have done it already but I didn't.
John: what do you want
Bruno: time
John: to do what
Bruno: settle this with less collateral (receives a phone call) what!
John: is everything alright
Bruno stands up, his eyes turns blue so does his dreads, everyone's hair in the facility stands upright, then suddenly he jumps and flies away. John calls the other generals and tells them to delay the nuclear deployment for some minutes. Bruno quickly arrives in Chicago and specifically their family compound where he finds Nathan with some of his goons holding his mother hostage together with the house-helps.
Nathan: you think everything has to play out in your favor, you have never lost Bruno never, if you would have not interrupted me the other day I would not be here. I had actually given up hopes of finding your sword and decided to settle this beef. I actually believed you and was happy when you told me that you had forgiven me. Believe me, the only person that I regret killing is your father. But you disrespected the king, Bruno, and for that you are going to pay with your mother's life.
Bruno: I am only going to say this once Nathan. Leave my family out of this or I will kill you
Nathan: I am afraid I can't do so Bruno. See the military is tired and they are going to nuke New York to get rid of me. Although, it will be a setback. This will open doors for me like this. Give me the sword Bruno or your mother dies in-front of your eyes
Nathan feels a cool breeze slapping his face, Bruno's eyes were still blue. He had been calculating on how to attack the goons and handle Nathan. He breathed in, closed his eyes and when he opened them he breathed out creating a powerful wind that blasted Nathan's goons and Nathan himself altogether with the 10-meter-thick perimeter wall that covered their residential area. He quickly untied his mother and the helps and told them to escape. He then instructed Fiona to call John which it did. Bruno told john to issue an evacuation notice to Chicago's resident since he had decided to end Nathan who was in Chicago. At this point John had complete trust with Bruno and listened to all he was told to do. Bruno then steadily flew outside the compound to meet with Nathan who had already recovered from the blast. Nathan summoned his sword and smiled at Bruno. He said to Bruno that this fight wouldn't be as easy as he thought it would. Just as he had finished saying this, he quickly punched Bruno sending him flying meters away, without giving him any resting time, he jumped and as Bruno was getting up received a drop kick that sent him running into their house and completely destroying it. Nathan quickly lifted the rubble using his earth powers and pounded Bruno with it till the entire rubble turned into dust. He struck the ground using his sword and exactly where Bruno was laying the ground lifted suddenly with great force which sent him flying away. Nathan jumped and wanted to use his sword to cut Bruno but he received a nasty punch from Bruno that sent him back to the ground. Bruno quickly gained his balance and summoned a great lightening that he used to try and strike Nathan but he missed. Nathan had dodged it. Nathan created thousand metals and sent them flying to Bruno who as always melted them with lightening. Nathan was using the metals as a diversion and once Bruno was focused in melting the metal Nathan quickly capitalized by hitting Bruno with a large portion of earth that's almost the size of a two-floor building. This sent Bruno back to the ground again. Nathan decided to bury Bruno alive, he made the ground to open up and swallow Bruno and then later closed it. Nathan thought he had won, he actually started leaving but what he had done was just make Bruno angrier. The ground started shaking vigorously causing houses to collapse. Then a strong lightening hit the ground giving Bruno the required space for him to exit his grave. He quickly sent lightening to Nathan who created a huge chunk of metal and earth to shield himself from the intense lightening. This went on for a few second, Bruno got impatient and he created a strong tornado that blasted Nathan and his defenses away, miles away. Bruno then quickly flew and landed with a strong blow to Nathan which actually broke Nathan's nose and he started bleeding. Bruno was now dominating landing left and right punches all the time. He lifted Nathan's lifeless body and threw it some meters away. He then flew up and created a strong wind then blasted Nathan away again, Nathan needed to recover and by that he needed some time out. He targeted, as Bruno was advancing towards him and manipulated the Fiona suit since it was metal and threw Bruno away. Nathan stood up wiped some blood off his face and got enraged he threw his sword up and forwards and started running towards Bruno. Bruno realized that something was amiss as he stood up he was able to avoid Nathan's punch, as soon as the sword was landing Nathan kicked it sending towards Bruno but Bruno was able to dodge it. Before sending the sword, Nathan had created a piece of metal which he tried piercing Bruno with but due to his suit the piece of metal broke. Then, Bruno felt a cold pain in his back, it was Nathan's sword he was summoning it and It came through Bruno's body to Nathan's hand. Nathan then punched Bruno to the ground and started talking.
Nathan: you had the strongest power and you still couldn't defeat me Bruno. Now, tell me where is your sword or I swear I will find your mother wherever she is hiding and kill her.
These words caused Bruno to lose it again. This time Bruno summoned the biggest lightening than ever and he was able to hit Nathan. Nathan's body got burned that it was so hard to even recognize him. Bruno stood up and looked at where the sword had crossed and saw that it was healed. Bruno realized that he had a very strong healing factor. These are some limitation to this power.
If one has the power of self-regeneration, it doesn't mean that he/she can't be hurt. Self-regeneration doesn't cure death and doesn't guarantee life In Bruno's case, only special weapons can actually kill him or wound him. Even with the healing factor Bruno would actually die if exposed to this. This special weapon is a divine weapon created from the metal DIVINIUM. This includes the sword since it was made using DIVINIUM.
Bruno stood up and went towards Nathan who was also healing from the burns he had experienced. He was not in contact with the sword so the burns were healing rather slowly. Bruno went up and took the sword and as soon as he took it the sword turned again to ash. This immediately shut down Nathan's self-regeneration power together with any power that the sword had granted him. Bruno went to Nathan, who looked at him and struggled to say sorry as his last words.
Months later Bruno was graduating, he had finished his tertiary education and was now going to face the real world, he felt that he had the much-needed experience already to deal with world problems. This time however, the government didn't try to hide that there was another enhanced individual, people celebrated the hero and with footage from the battle between Bruno and Nathan they saw the big-name tag in their hero's chest called the REWARDER. The government proclaimed the 16th of July as a national mourning day and victory naming it the Chicago massacre.
In the distant stars, a planet still in milky way galaxy, that orbits our sun but has a scenic route for its revolution lived a being called the wave. A ruthless ruler of his planet, who had obsessed himself with the recollection of the legendary sword since he was the one who had invented it. Right after Bruno touched Nathan's sword a signal was sent to the wave, he had finally found the location of the sword. On the planet called earth.
