“Bow down you nerd! Eat whatever is on the floor.” Tonny was pushed to the ground by the two bullies Pele and Jasper in the school cafeteria. His knees hurt from the sudden force on the ground.
Silence fell inside the cafeteria as the rest of the students watched him and they kept murmuring to themselves. That is all they could do each time. Murmur to themselves without doing anything. Tonny was skinny, with wasted limbs and sunken eyes that he couldn't fight off these two bullies. He was the youngest in the whole class. He managed to get into high school earlier because of his wisdom that he was always at the top in academics of the class. Tonny was small and couldn't fight the giant Pele, the most feared amongst the whole class, he was about seven feet tall with well built muscles and it was most likely that he hit the gym.Tonny bent down to pick his lunch that had been scattered on the floor. He had lost both his parents in a car accident when he was only fourteen and was taken by social service. The life there with the social service personnel wasn't easy so he ran away from them.Right now that he was sixteen, he was trying to make ends meet with the constant bills he had to pay in his parents home normally, and had no time to take care of himself. Staring at the food on the floor, Tonny would feel humiliation and rage but this was his lunch. A free lunch at school was what he survived on as he couldn't get any decent job with no ID. He had to hide his real name from when he was fourteen afraid that the social service people would trace him and take him away again.Jasper stared at him scornfully, “You want to be told the second time.” He pushed his head with his foot, Tonny could smell his smelly legs. Jasper was Pere's wingman. Not so fat and giant like Pere, but he was healthy with about five ft height with wavy short hair.Tonny reached out to pick the food from the ground, he had gotten used to this humiliation since it was not the first time. His eyes sighted Elizabeth who was walking hurriedly towards them from the cafeteria door with an angry look on her face.“You can not do that to him!” She raised her voice.Elizabeth and Tonny were not close friends but Elizabeth always looked out for him. Elizabeth was beautiful with long blonde hair. What made her even more desirable was her charisma and great personality.Jasper stood in front of her.``Do not get involved pretty! How about you go talk in the janitor's room with Pele, ha! How is that?!” He giggled wanting to touch Elizabeth's hand but she pushed it away. A rage filled Tonny's heart as he watched Jasper tease Elizabeth too.“You are really Pele's toy!” Elizabeth spoke scornfully as she walked away and left through the back door.Elizabeth was Tonny's crush. He had never approached her afraid of rejection but could do anything but never allow to be humiliated in front of Elizabeth, and not even being able to stand up for himself. He got up quickly and ran as the two bullies chased after him. He ran to the washroom locking the door tightly behind him. “Open up the F***king door, you coward! Or we shall break the door and you will have to pay for it.” Pere shouted, hitting the door hard.When Pere said he would break the door, he meant it due to his hot temper. Either way he was going to get to him and beat the hell out of him. Tonny would rather allow him to go through all the trouble than to just open the door freely and let him in. In only three hits, Pele pulled out the bathroom door with his might and in rage and threw it on the other side. Reaching out his hands, Pele carried Tonny up in the air like he weighed nothing. “I am going to teach you a lesson today, Tonny Walker.” Pele threw him to the ground and he heard a cracking of his limbs, like they had just been broken. His breathing became slow.Pele scouted to where Tonny was lying and gripped his hair making him sit. “Now beg me to stop, Tonny Walker. Say it.” He shouted in his face with each word coming out with saliva onto Tonny's face.Pele had done everything to make Tonny suffer, but Tonny had always done everything quietly without begging him to stop.This always made Pele angry and this time around, he wanted him to beg him. All the other students Pele beat always begged him to stop.Pele hit him more.Tonny had the pride in him, he couldn't beg him with his mouth but this time around. It looked like Pele wanted to finish him off. He would die if he kept his pride up. Mother, father, I might come to you if I don't beg him! Tonny whispered to himself with his eyes closed and finally gave in to beg him.“Plea…..” A little shaking of the building interrupted Tonny's words. His eyes opened widely as the shaking increased. Pele quickly got up. “ What was that?” He spoke in a shaky voice as he looked around. This was the first time Tonny saw Pele scared. It would have made him happier but they were in a crisis. If all this passed,maybe Pele would never act superior infront of him after being such a baby just because of an earthquake. The shaking became more violent than expected, a loud sound was heard striking louder than that of thunder. Tonny now became worried as everything seemed to be serious. Pele ran out of the washrooms. Tonny couldn't move with all the pain in his ribs. Suddenly the building was torn apart. For Tonny, everything became blurry.It was quiet for a long time, Tonny tried to move amidst the bricks that had fallen onto him. “Ahh, ahh.” Tonny woke up, he coughed as he moved the bricks away from his body. These bricks weighed about eight pounds each, they would have killed him.He was surprised at how he managed to get them off of his body effortlessly.He looked around at the building, it looked like an abandoned one, how long had he stayed here? Had he died and was this soul?. He stared at his arms and body,he had added in weight with quite a muscular body. He quickly got up to look up if this was really his body. His beards had grown up, he looked much older. He stared at his body hesitantly in the dusty cracked mirror of the washroom that had been torn into two parts.He looked almost thirty years. He touched his face countless times not believing that it was him because of the muscles on his biceps and the six packs on his stomach. His whole body was filled with dust and he quickly rubbed a few of it off, he needed a shower for him to completely get the dust off.The last time he could remember was an earthquake. If he had died then there is no way heaven would look like this, it would be much cleaner at least according to the stories he always had about heaven in Sunday school when he was still being taken care of by the social service. He still had memories of how Pele threatened him on the floor but at that moment, no one was there. Even the ribs that Pele had broken,he touched them when they were perfectly fine.He walked to where Pele had walked to when the building was about to collapse, he wouldn't have gone so far. His body wasn't there nor was he. Only scattered bricks and cobwebs filled the building. Am I the only survivor of the earth quake, he questioned himself. He stepped out of the building to find out if there were any survivors outside of this building, if any one had died, at least he would be able to find their bodies . He sensed footsteps from far away about ten miles from where he was standing, they were heavy footsteps accompanied by screams.He was surprised to be hearing from afar, it was not the normal range.Right now it felt like more of a dream to him.He pinched himself countless times to make sure he wasn't dreaming but he was still right there.It was real.He looked around to make sure the sounds he was hearing were not near him and he couldn't catch sight of any one. Am I having super powers! Is this the place that my parents decided to bring me in when I asked them to protect me? Am I in hell? These were all the questions he had in mind.He ran to the direction where the sound was coming from but his steps took him a mile in one second, when he stopped, he flew in the air instead. Right now he was in the sky surrounded by the clouds. He took a deep breath, what was going on? A question still popped in his mind.All he knew now was that he was in a strange place and could fly. He had no time to think about it and hurriedly continued to the place where the screams were coming from while still in the sky. These were the other survivors, he could find out whatever was happening with him if he met them.He moved at the speed of a rocket.As he came closer, a sight of monsters showed up in his face. He could still detect them like they were very close. His eyes magnified in a green light zooming them nearer.They had four limbs in dinosaur shape and were chasing after the people while emitting a flame from there mouth, if it hadn't been for his super sight vision, he would have mistaken them for a dinosaur.He could see the
“This , this…ahh…is part of my cloth design.” Tonny had to lie. He had at first thought that all mages had the lighting in their chests but turns out it was not the case. Who was he?“That really scared me!” Elizabeth spoke with her eyes widely opened. “I thought we had another supreme god in the Shelter. Obviously that would cause chao, right!” Elizabeth giggled as they approached the Shelter.“As you could see, I don't have any power. It is just a silly costume.” Tonny giggled to get rid of the awkwardness. His eyes landed on the Caudy Shelter and his mouth was left at gap.It was like another part of the world that the earthquake didn’t touch. It was surrounded by a huge circular wall more like a stadium but this was larger. How was this even possible? Did they use all this time while he was in a coma to build this shelter? “When was this Caudy Shelter built?” Tonny asked in disbelief. He still couldn't believe his eyes. “Am not really sure!” Elizabeth replied, staring at him i
“You don't find them, they find you! And they are only for mages. Only mages can hear what they have to say.”“Okay,” Tonny now got it. He didn't even strain himself to hear what Suzan was saying. One of the doors was opened and they both turned to it. It was a mage with well combed hair to the side. He walked with both hands touching his waist. “Here you are,” He spoke in a stereo voice. Most people always told him he was gay but he had brushed them off time and again.‘’’Liz, Nathan has been looking everywhere for you like crazy. You got injured and you are still moving around.” Allan spoke.“I told her,” Suzan interrupted. “You did!” Elizabeth turned to her answering in a frustrated tone then quickly brushed her off.“This injury, it was nothing, perhaps I even feel better now that I've been moving around a little.”Elizabeth turned back to Allan.Allan had been staring at Tonny with these seductive eyes,”Who is this pretty boy, we've taken so long without having a newbie here. W
He could still remember her fragile body and delicate face before she passed away. If his mother was here that meant that his father was here too, he thrashed in the direction where she was headed but couldn’t find her, the non-mages were too many and were knocking past him. He couldn't focus with his green vision.This only meant one thing to him after seeing his dead mother in this world, he was dead too. But how come he could remember everything that happened and the rest of the people didn't. The mages had started beating the non-mages for skipping curfew, it was very chaotic on the streets. “What is wrong with you?”Zhao interrupted him and caught his hand.”We need to leave now.”Tonny stared in the direction where he had just seen his mother for the last time but couldn’t catch a glimpse of her still.He quietly turned around and followed Zhao closely. Tonny had a lot on his mind while Zhao walked excitedly, he couldn’t wait to reach home so he ate all the sandwiches.Tonny was
Out came Buanita as she walked out and locked the door slowly right behind her. Her face was lusterless as she stared at Tonny who was smiling at her. “How may I help you young man?” She asked as she folded her hands. Tonny was taken back at this question. Even though he had to have expected this question and her mother not recognizing her since they were in a different world. The excitement hadn't allowed him to think past what he was going through now. A frown filled his face as he stared at Buanita still in shock and disbelief. ”You don’t remember me mother?” He asked just to make sure whatever he had was right!“Mother! You think I am your mother. I don’t have any kids. You must be mistaken. Please leave!” Buanita answered blankly.Tonny couldn’t blame her for not remembering him, even Elizabeth herself didn’t remember that they had a life before coming to this world. But he couldn’t give up. He wanted to live near his mother and protect her since she was so fragile. If onl
There was a man standing in the corner at least six feet. With black hair and a rough face bending on his stick for support. He was lame, though in a high fabric suit. Tony's eyes lightened up when they met with his structure as he smiled back at him while he opened his arms wide to embrace him. “Father!”Tonny hurriedly hugged him in a tight grip. His excitement was more as the grin on his face earlier showed that he recognized him. He didn't ask him who he was and he rubbed him back slowly. After a few minutes, Tonny pulled away from his hug with a grin still filled on his face. “There he is! Mr. Chad.” Cynthia to spoke Tonny's Father. “Your son!”“Thank you for everything Cynthia.” Mr. Chad spoke as he turned to Tonny holding both his hands while he leaned on his stick in the armpit.“Walker, look at you! All grown up. We should find a convenient place and have a conversation. I've not been there for you as you grew up. But I am here now. I want to make it up to you. ” Chad spok
“Tonny! Wait…” Mr. Chard spoke, panting from running. He hurriedly leaped towards them and stopped to catch a breath. He reached out for Tonny's hand who brushed him off.“I want to take Buanita Walker's place. Take me as bait instead. Here I am.” Tonny spoke as held out both of his hands to the mages and pushed his back into the line. A mage in a red jumpsuit with one star by the collar grabbed him from the line and pushed his back to the walls of the bus causing a loud bang. His clothing could tell that he was the fire captain. Tonny pushed him to free himself but the fire captain placed his hand on his neck, he couldn't move his head even slightly. He could feel the angry breath of the captain onto his skin as he glared into his eyes. These eyes could display how much hatred he had for the non-mages. “Listen! We don't take orders from non-mages, the names of the mages who are the next bait are selected by Nathan Scott the Supreme god himself.” The fire captain spoke bitterly
**********Tonny flew over the sky as the tsunami covered everything on the ground, and the whole place was getting filled with water. It was moving in the direction of the shelter and soon it would reach the shelter. He had hurried so he could save his parents. His eyes scanned through the shelter on the other side as he saw two people embracing each other in despair. It was Mr. Chad and Buanita. He could recognize his mother from the red hair. He laid out his hands in the air and a blue shield was formed in front of the flowing water. The tsunami hit the barrier and bounced back. The barrier shook vigorously as the force was too much. Tonny howled in pain as he was using a lot of energy. He held the barrier stronger until the water was calm and then forced it backwards as he grinded his teeth with his whole concentration. He had just discovered he was powerful and was willing to find out the limit to his power. He watched the mages stare at him but luckily he had dressed in a b
