Most people think i am nothing but a troublemaker who does nothing but cause chaos wherever i go, after all that's what i let them see. Being born with an athlete's body and great fighting instincts made me the leader of all delinquents in the school
Am actually intelligent despite my academic performance not reflecting it. So when i saw the news on my phone i realised John's story might have more truth to it than i thought but then something didn't make sense
'How is it i died, i never get overconfident or underestimate my opponent and as for most of them are cowards except for Jake and Alex'
'But it can't be Alex i trust him too much but there is something weird, why hadn't John said anything about him, did he die as well. No am missing some information'
I was knocked out of my thoughts when two young men walked through the door. One of them is Jake while the other is a brown haired bulky bodied young man called Alex.
Alex had an amused expression on his face as he said
"You really did a number on John, hahaha he didn't even look at Jake and just bolted of out of here"
Honestly i wasn't really paying any attention to Alex's word instead my gaze was on Jake
'There are many things that can describe Jake.He is tall handsome guy, with dyed white hair but he has one major flaw he is a coward that only fights those weak than him. One could say it isn't a flaw at all when they see his physical ability Few people in the school can match him'
'Which means if he were the one that betrayed me he had to have the strenght to do that. I have a few guesses but i will wait and see, it is not that far after all'
"Boss is there something on my face you keep staring at me"
Instead of answering I thought off something and turned to the edge of the roof hen said
"Jake, Alex. I was wondering if one day the world collapse would you stand by me"
Jake had a weird face since he was trying to hold back his laughter while Alex had a frown on his face.
"Boss did John by any chance sucker punch you in the face while you were not looking hahahahahaha"
Alex remain quiet while Jake finally calm down and turned back to me. There was still no change to my expression cause i was still waiting for their answers. Jake realised am being serious and thought it through then said
"If the world was to end then i will survive no matter what"
Jake's statement didn't exactly answer my question but it gave me the identity of the one that betrayed me in John's future but even then there was no change to my expression.
After Jake i turned to Alex who had been quiet. Alex then turned to Alex who understood the gesture and immediately turned to leave.
With only me and Alex on the roof, he said
"Damien your not the type ask dumb questions like that, so what is really going on"
Alex has been my oldest friend since my parents died.He is a guy who is obsessed with fighting since we were kids. Alex's parents are gangsters who run the underside of this city.After i lost my parents they took me in.
That's why i had no fear when i said to him
"Like i said if the world were to end would you stand my me"
Alex's face had changed, he seemed to have many questions but decide to answer me
"Do i get to fight to my hearts content"
A smile developed on my face. I should have guessed battle minded friend would have answered like this
"Now tell me Damien what's gotten over you, your acting strange"
I thought of telling him but decided against it
"Nah i had just thought of something"
I could see on Alex's face that he didn't believe me but decided not to dwell on it
"Then i guess i going"
Alex turned to leave when i remembered another mystery, so i asked
"Where are you going"
"There are some guys from another school entering our territory lately"
"Why didn't you tell me before"
"It's just some small weakings, i don't need any help to take care of them"
"Let me tag along with you and see how it goes"
"Damien are you really ok"
I ignored his statement and walked alongside him down the stairs
....30 minutes after...
A group of five boy stood in the middle of the pathway laughing and on the ground a student in different uniform laid there all beaten up.
Not far from there position Alex and Damien watch them. Alex had a grin on his face very eager to fight.
"Damien there are just five of them, we should be able to take care of them easy"
I remembered what John had said earlier
'There were people who awake there initiate abilities before the descent started plus he said i had a buff type of ability that strengthen allies.
Just like Alex a grin formed on my face as i said to him
"I think i will stay and watch from here, maybe something interesting is gonna happen"
Alex didn't seem to mind and just walked to his opponents.Knowing Alex he should be able to handle them easily so i should hurry.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on Alex. Am not sure how my ability works but since it is a buff, should try it out on Alex because i trust him more than others.
Alex had reached his opponent when one of stood in front of him trying to intimidate him while the others just laughed it off. The grin on Alex's face widen as he folded his fist and swung.
Before the opponent could even react a fist landed on his jaws causing his eyes to roll back and collapse on the ground
The others realized their attacker was not an easy person, another one attacked with his punch which Alex easily dodged.
Alex sent a kick directly to his gut, causing him to collapse while holding his stomach.
The other three seemed to realise that they can't beat him one on one. So they got ready to attack together.
But just then something unbelievable happened a golden glow covered Alex's body. A strange power seemed to rise in his body making him feel invisible.
The three did not back down since they had already initiated the attack. Alex who had previously thought of dodging there attack decided to take it head on. When there attack landed he took no damage and just grin.
Then sent a blow to the one in the middle.It moved so fast that he wasn't able to react which caused it to land directly an his head and once again the impossible happen. The blow caused the guys head to spin directly breaking his neck.
The two seeing there friend died in front of them panicked but Alex who felt intoxicated with power did not let up and sent an attack even strong than the last to the chest of another
Just like before the attack moved to fast to see, directly impelling itself into the guy's chest. Blood splattered everywhere and the his eyes when dull. The remaining guy fainted enable to take the death of two of his friends.
Alex seemed to come through as well cause the golden glow around his body begun to disperse along with the strenght that came with it.
Alex turned to look at me who seemed more tired that him who was fighting.Using this ability causes me to tire out quickly or maybe its effects would reduce after the descent.
Alex didn't seem to suffer any side effects like me, in fact he looked like he had a lot of energy left and enough questions.
Alex didn't seem to be affect after killing to people and walk to me but just then i notice something in the corner of my eye and shouted
"ALEX LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU"
Seeing my reaction he immediately turned only to see his second opponent was standing with a gun aimed at him
bang
Alex in that moment felt something within him call out to him. A strange force came out of him and cover the bullet slowing it down which allowed him to jump out of the way.
His opponent saw that his enemy had miraculously dodged a bullet at such a distance and wanted to aim once more but something invisible seemed to grip his neck and raise him of the ground.
Tears flowed out of his eyes as he run out of breath and died. The body then fell to the ground.
Alex looked just as tired as Damien. A hand touched his shoulder causing him to look back at his pale looking friend.
"Seems like am not the only special one"
"You need to explain everything to me"
"You just wait i need to take care of this first"
I walked to the corpse and picked the gun then aimed it at the remaining to the remaining two guys and fired
bang bang
Just as i was going to walk away i remembered the boy who was being beaten before. He is unconscious but i can't leave any loose ends so
bang
Alex just stood there waiting for me, so i said
"Let's go i will explain it all"
