"What is plan B?""Shadow Man.""How do we get through to him? Nobody even knows who he is!" Dylan was much concerned over the phone."Well, I have his phone number." I smiled.In the next few minutes, I was standing over Twilightoria, on the tallest roof in the city. Ashley Quill was beside me, looking as dangerous as she was cute."Are you sure this is gonna work?" Her hair blew back continuously as the wind passed."Let's find out." I dialled a number using a phone that Ashley brought but didn't buy, off the jacket of a man on the street. A necessary crime."Who is this?" Piero had a hard and cold voice, even on phone."The people call me Shadow Man.""And I call you a mutant criminal. To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?""It's about the boy in the hospital. I'm sure you know his life is in danger."Piero groaned. "I'm keeping him safe and alive as bait for the likes of you. If you have the balls, Mr Hero, trying showing up at the hospital. I would love to host you in the cont

As Shadow Man, I had fought against several types of dangerous criminals. Think about the most vicious, most miserable and most toxic superhero environment, that would be Twilightoria. And every other night, I was out there in the city, shining in the knight's armor, keeping things in order. Despite the sinister records of each one of my adversaries, Pedro Don Piero was not in the same bracket.The mutant control officer was just exactly as they called him, a mutant expert. On his sleeves were several tricks. Every time I thought I was getting the upper hand, he would come up with something sinister, something tech like which prevented me from using my abilities to the maximum. He was just human, but with the weapons he had access to, a mutant was no huge threat."You! It is my destiny to arrest you!" Piero screamed at intervals as I tried to maintain my sanity. All the weapons were stored in his briefcase. And no matter how many times he took out something from there, the case was ne

When the news reached Principal Collins, he was super furious. He stormed out to the centre of attraction and tried to dissolve the activists in their resolve for revolution. But even when he broke their gathering, he could not break their spirit."We shall not rest until mutany has become a thing of the past!""As the leaders of tomorrow, it is our duty to bring back peace and security to the city of Twilightoria.""The mission is clear! Strengthen the humans so they can protect themselves.""High schoolers have suffered the most from mutant insecurity. We have to go to school everyday, yet we cannot even own a gun for self protection! Definitely this non weapon can only defend us from the powers of mutants, it won't help us to hurt anyone!"The principal knew he needed to end this before it got beyond the school. And for that, he turned to the teachers."Make sure this insanity is nipped in the bud!""But how?" "I don't care. Just do it!"To counter Teddy Abraham's agenda, the teac

Dylan was a jerk in human skin. A young man whose mannerism was manoeuvred by his manhood. It was mandatory for him to get his time out with Ashley Quill and he was ready to remove every obstacle in his way. In a world of mutants, super criminals and absurd laws, he was the woman wrapper.But I never expected he could do this."Sure come in, Arry." He drew her in when I was too stunned to say a word.Ariana chose to stand rather than sit, the furniture around were not so inviting. "I was just coming from Teddy Abraham's special meeting." She said, checking around the building to be sure there was no monster lurking behind those spider webs."A special meeting?" Ashley Quill was suprised. So was Dylan."Teddy held a special meeting and did not invite me?" My step brother must have thought he was so important.Ariana sighed. "Apparently, he said the both of you cannot be trusted because of your relationship with Jude."I was stunned too. I had not made my antagonisms of Teddy's initiat

The morning held a sweet fragrance of tension. I buttoned up and wore a tie, ready to confront the present. The plan was simple, show up in the school as Shadow Man and destroy Teddy Abraham's speech. Then in the night, I go after the abductors of Mrs Ricochet. The later was the more important of the missions but I had to get the first one done first.Opening the door, Dylan was already waiting for me."What? You couldn't wait till morning?""I can't wait to take down that jerk and his so-called movement." He had so much energy.Truth is, without Dylan's crazy efforts tne other day, Teddy Abraham's speech might not have gotten so much attention. He was really a jerk to pull him out when the going got big."Well Dylan, you know what you have to do.""Of course I do. Arrange a fake mutant villain, use the fake non weapon to take him down and wait for Shadow Man to finish the rest. But what if they find out that it was all fake? The villain and the non weapon?"I was not going to let th
