The next day, Alfred decided to go and meet Jade after coming back from school so he could ask him about his mother and the real cause of her death.
Since his father is a normal human being, that means the so-called pixon gene has to come from his mother, And her death might not be as natural as he thinks.
He then remembered about Kelvin as he saw him transform yesterday.
"Fuck what do I tell kelvin now? He saw me transforming the last time and I'm sure he's really going to have a lot of questions" he said to himself.
'You could just kill him or rather intimidate him with a lot of fear so he won't tell anyone about it' , he heard a stupid idea from a stupid annoying voice in his head once again.
"No, I'm definitely not going to do that. He's my best friend and I'm sure he'll understand.", he said to Alex or rather said in a bid to convince himself as he was worried that kelvin would start seeing him as a monster.
'I was just trying to help and besides, it's a very good idea',Alex said nonchalantly and kept on rambling about a lot of things but he ignored him. He also got dressed for school planning to find a way to explain everything to him later.
When he met kelvin at the front of his house, there was an awkward silence between them for some minutes before Alfred decided to break the silence.
"Cough* so kelvin about yesterday I unmmm…uhnn I think we should talk about it", he said nervously.
"Wait, I know what you're", Kelvin suddenly said. "Really??", Alfred asked surprised. "That day when we talked about the rumour of tigers with glowing eyes you were in shock a little bit so I guess that rumour was true right?"
Alfred was surprised by how kelvin was able to quickly sum it all up together but he was inwardly rejoicing because he didn't want to go through a round of weird explanation.
So he just said the only thing he could come up with which is”, yeah that rumour is true and they are called Pixons and am actu….ally one…of them".
Alfred was expecting a terrified expression because of what he just said but all he heard was "YES!, I knew it. When you went to that forest something happened for you to run back here suddenly and you were shocked about the rumour of tigers with glowing eyes, it all fits now"., Kelvin said excitedly as if he had just solved the world's toughest case as a detective.
"Are you not worried about the killing part in the rumors, and yester….", he was about to say but Kelvin interrupted him saying "I know you aren't the one responsible for the killings and also you could have killed me yesterday but you didn't and told me to run. You could have chased me but you didn't want to hurt anybody, I saw that in your eyes yesterday, so don't bother explaining, you're my best friend Alfred I'll always stand by you, always".
Alfred was actually happy about what he heard from Kelvin and he realized that his friend didn't see him as a monster even though he sees himself as one. He felt a warm feeling rising up in his heart when he heard kelvin's reply.
Then they continued the journey to school while talking about the Pixons superpower like super speed and everything that he actually knew about being a Pixon while being happy that he had such a good friend.
When Alfred got to school, after the end of the first class. He was called into the principal's office about his little scuffle with Shane.
"I'm actually expecting it so I'm not surprised", He said to himself as he makes his way to the principal's office.
*In the Principal's office*
"So you and Shane still haven't solved your little scuffle even after eight years, I expected more from you Alfred. You shouldn't injure people like that. It's not a good behaviour".
The principal kept on telling him About morals and good behaviours and other things about being a good kid but Alfred wasn't even listening. As he heard that same story eight years ago and it's all the same to him.
He was thinking about himself and how he was feeling about what happened with Shane and he saw that he didn't feel any remorse for what he did at all.
He even loved it and wanted to feel that same fear from them again. "I'm I really losing myself? the normal me would have been sorry about that. I would have even gone to visit Shane to apologize since he got a broken wrist. But that fear coming from him felt so amazing. I want to feel it one more time", he kept thinking to himself before he heard the same annoying voice snapping him out of his thoughts.
'Yes, we all enjoy the fear but stop drooling about it. Don't lose yourself to that feeling as it could be very dangerous if you get addicted to the taste and feeling of fear', Alex said with a warning tone.
'So we could sense fear coming from people and we enjoy it. I keep on feeling more like a monster every passing day', he thought to himself as he realized once more that he's not normal anymore.
'You're not a monster Alfred. You can decide not to be as long as you let yourself be in control. I lost control too then and it doesn't feel good, trust me' Alex told him. '
'When we lose control we cause mass murder. Destroy cities, kill innocent people and do a lot of things that I won't call good so don't think about looking for a way to feel that fear again' Alex continued in his advice.
"…..so the school has decided to suspend you for two weeks one more time as you've been a good student all these years. But If anything like this happens again, you'll be expelled from this school, is that understood?", The principal finally laid out his punishment.
'Yeah, now I'm suspended. Just the Right thing I needed to hear', the thought to himself sarcastically.
After school was over, Alfred planned to
go to meet Jade today immediately he got home. He then saw kelvin running to meet him as he had actually forgotten but kelvin while trying to be fast with everything.
'Come to think of it your suspension could be a blessing in disguise to you for your Pixon training' Alex said and he couldn't help but agree with him.
"Alfred, why the hell are you rushing?…wait are you going somewhere?", Kelvin asked.
Alfred wanted to say no but he felt he should tell him since he already knew his secret and he actually kept it for him.
"Yes, I'm going to meet Jade to know more about you know what", he replied. "Ohhh, can I c…", Kelvin wanted to ask them Alfred suddenly interrupted him as he still considers Jade as a dangerous person.
"You can't come with me, it's too dangerous", Alfred said.
"No I'm coming with you, I want to come with you".Kelvin tried to convince Alfred.
"Kelvin, this is not camping okay? It is a dangerous place filled with dangerous people who I don't even know so you're not coming". Alfred said as he doesn't want to risk anything.
WHOOSH!!!
Alfred left kelvin as he doesn't want him to argue any further.
"Even though he told me about it. It still seems so cool to me", Kelvin muttered to himself with sparkling eyes when he saw Alfred's speed.

When Alfred finally got to the forest, he looked for the same tree and when he found it, then he saw a house not far from it, though it was not the only house there but the rest looked very old and abandoned. "I wonder why he decided to live in this place", Alfred muttered to himself. He then heard the sound of someone jumping down from his back and he got scared only to realize that it was Jade. "I've been waiting for you, I knew you'd come. I know you have a lot of questions but before that, I should tell you what I know about the Pixons and why this place is abandoned". Jade said. 'Yes, this place is truly abandoned', Alfred thought to himself while Alex was strangely silent for some reason, not that he was complaining.'This could also be an opportunity to know about the current situation of things'. He also thought to himself. "Okay, maybe you should start with what happened to the Pixons", Alfred said. "Let's talk about it inside or would you rather stand here cause what I'm
The Red Tiger Suppression necklace
"No you're wrong, she has no use for this as it would weaken her. This was meant to be a suppression necklace used to suppress your pixon gene", Jade suddenly said surprising Alfred. Alfred was surprised though he does not understand the meaning of the Pixon gene but he knows that should be what makes him a Pixon since the name seems self-explanatory. "Are you trying to say I've never been a normal human and was actually forcefully suppressed", Alfred asked as he still couldn't believe what Jade said to him. "Yes, That's why you were weaker than most of your peers and also looked so frail. It's because it actually contains poison, though In little amount but still enough to suppress your Pixon side. The burning pain you always feel is because if the poison reacts against you that's why no one was able to discover or diagnose what's wrong with you, Try holding it", Jade said he then threw the necklace to Alfred. When Alfred caught it, and tried holding the pendant o
The Red Tiger Pixon History
The Pixons tribe has actually been existing for one thousand five hundred years. They were the result of a gene-altering experiment performed on another planet a few light-years away from earth. The name of the planet was Zenon as it was a planet far ahead of earth In terms of technology, Most people in that planet have awakened telepathic abilities to either talk to animals, create illusions also to read minds and the few who didn't have any of those were forced to go through the gene-altering experiment.A lot of people died after that experiment as they couldn't handle the pain and only five people survived the gene-altering experiment and they survived because they had an ability which was a very rare one. They have the ability to adapt to any pain or condition. They were injected with extracted genes from tigers and they felt a huge amount of pain when they were injected with it as their body was going through a lot of changes and their structure was changing and their body was
The Red Tiger Fight or Run?
After Jade finished explained about the Pixon history to Alfred." The next thing for you to do Is to start your training because Kahn might be closing in on you anytime soon, you should also learn how to control your rage", Jade said. "If three people had already fought Kahn and not just failed but died. How the hell do you want me to defeat him? And don't forget they were over a hundred years old and I'm just sixteen with a long life ahead of me so thanks but I'm not interested?", Alfred said. "I knew you'd say that, but whether you like it or not Kahn doesn't care and he'll hunt you. How long will you keep on running? He could also go after your father". Jade said "I never asked for any of these, I just want a normal life not to be hunted by a thousand and five hundred years old Pixon", Alfred muttered to himself. As he was not sure he could ever defeat Kahn when three other Pixons has failed to do so. "Normal people have normal lives, people like us…..", Jade said. "….are not
The Red Tiger Training[1]
When Alfred finally came out, Jade started by explaining all the abilities of Pixons and how he could use them to their full potential. "As you already know. We have more strength than a regular human so I'll be teaching you how to control that strength", Jade said. "I don't need all these lessons, since I'm actually stronger than you so let's just skip to the fighting part", Alfred said as he doesn't want to stay in the forest for too long."Ohh so do you really think strength is all that matters in a fight", Jade said. "Strength that you can't even control, fine let's try it your way and see how you'd lose to me even though I'm weaker", Jade said. Alfred just smirked as he thought this was going to be easy for him so he took a weird stance while rushing to Jade with his great speed and throwing out a punch to his face. Though Alfred was stronger, he still doesn't know how to harness his full speed, his reaction speed was also lacking as he doesn't know how to use his super sense
The Red Tiger Training[2]
Jade then started guiding him on how to control his strength. "The first thing to do is to feel the power flowing in you then try to control it", Jade said. "Wait, that's it?", Alfred said as he expected a complicated explanation and what Jade told him sounded so simple. "Yeah, I'm not really good At explaining about these things as it kind of….just happens naturally just like breathing", Jade said. He then went to a tree a few feet away from where they were standing. "Just watch", he said, he then threw a punch to the tree and it created a little crack on it. "I controlled my strength to only create a small dent in the tree, that's when you get that, then you know how to control your strength". Alfred walked to another tree and tried to control the amount of strength in his but... ...Bang!!!! He actually destroyed the whole tree. "You make it all sound so simple Jade", he said in a slightly annoyed voice as he kept on trying and failing, sometimes he would hit it too
The Red Tiger Trying to accept it
To say Alfred was shocked about what he just heard was an understatement as what Jade said was true,he never truly accepted his change as he felt his life as a human was better because he would not have a thousand and five hundred years killer after his life if he was a human and no matter how tough he tries to act. He's still young and is afraid of losing his life. Then he saw Jade with a disappointed and crest fallen look while muttering,"I rejoiced too quickly,you'd never be able to defeat him. When you can't even accept who you are,I thought all of these would be over when someone finally have enough strength to face Kahn but seems that's not the case". "Jade I would surely transform and defeat him,he killed my mother. I'm als…",Alfred said as he saw that Jade seemed to be disappointed by his inability to transform but he was interrupted by jade. "No,you won't not until you fully accept it and stop treating it like a curse because it's not,….all these…..training was a
The Red Tiger Father and son talk
When he finally opened the door,he met his father in the sitting room, it seems he had been waiting for him. "Hey dad I think we need to talk about something very important",he said. Then he heard a shocking reply that he did not expect. "Yeah we do need to talk about how the meat I put in the refrigerator just suddenly disappeared magically",he heard his father say. Alfred scratched the back of his head nervously as he remembered that morning when he woke up and he was feeling so hungry that he ate the meat he met in the fridge which tasted surprisingly good. He then asked asked Alex something that he forgot to ask about earlier,'Do we tend to have craving for raw meat?'. 'Yes,do you see tigers eating vegetables?,though we don't go around killing people and eating them like wild animals but meat actually tastes better than every other types of food. Since we also have a carnivorous side'. He heard Alex say, He knew Alex was mocking him when he asked that question but he ign

Mia Connor
Although his strength and speed are a lot higher than that of a normal human but when compared to Alfred's or Kahn's, it was far too weak. ———- *MEANWHILE* In a city far away from Greenville, a young woman was standing in front of a simple-looking house. Her appearance was something that could put even the top models of the world in shame, she had long blonde hair that stopped just above her waist. She also had light brown eyes that seemed to take on a kind of natural beauty. Her face was also very beautiful, with a slightly oval face, and very smooth and delicate-looking skin. If Jade was here, he would recognize her as the young woman in his locket. She was holding a picture while looking at it intensely, a handsome blonde-haired man could be seen in the picture. He was dressed in old-fashioned cloth, proof to show that the picture was very old as it was taken years ago. “Father… I really miss you.” the blonde-haired woman muttered to herself with a bitter smile. “I d

Alfred’s strength
Alfred does not know it yet but he had unconsciously used his fear intimidation on Shane. Though he had only made Shane feel a little fear, it's seriously affecting Shane's mind because he's a weak-minded person. This little mistake of Alfred will later become a serious problem for him at a time sooner or later. ————— Alfred unknown of the little problem he had caused for himself due to his mistake, was still training with Jade. 'How the hell does he keep on dodging everything?', he thought to himself in frustration. They had been training for about thirty minutes, with Alfred still using the blindfold. It couldn't be called training as most of the things happening were just Alfred chasing Jade and trying to land at least a hit on him and Jade dodging, running, and jumping around. Alfred was starting to get very frustrated, as Jade seemed to be like a monkey, jumping around. Even though he was getting frustrated, he made sure he controlled himself as he didn't wan

"Well about twenty",Brad said. He was about to also ask Kahn his reason for asking that question but he refrained from doing that. He only said it to himself inwardly. "I don't want to waste anytime again,Alfred still hasn't accepted his Pixon side completely,that was why he wasn't able to use his full transformation. If I wait until he accepts it fully and unlock his ability to use the Pixon full transformation….I won't be able to defeat him",Kahn said while muttering the last part to himself but even though he only said it silently,it couldn't escape Brad's ears because of the Pixon enhanced sense of hearing.

Increased Bloodlust
'The Simple explanation of everything,double strength equals double rage and bloodlust and also double of every other negative side of being a Pixon',Alex said making all Alfred fears of him losing control come back to him again. 'When you mean doubled rage and bloodlust,do you mean I have a higher tendency to lose control than a normal Pixon?',Alfred asked Alex as he was still unable to control his rage even if it is only in a little quantity,knowing that he had even double of it made him scared of what he could do if he lost control. 'Well you already have a higher tendency to go berserk because you're a Pixon king,it just doubled but look on the bright side,you're stronger and faster and also have double of all good things. Just think of it as a little price to pay for all that. It's not that bad,you would be okay',Alex said. Alfred felt his eyebrows twitch at how Alex made it all sound like it wasn't a big deal.

He then got up from his bed and checked the injury he got from Kahn's bite. "It has finally healed",he said. WHOOSH!!!He used his speed and went to the bathroom,he then started preparing for the day. If a normal person were to see him currently all they would see is a blur moving around because of how fast he was moving. A few seconds later,Alfred has finally worn his clothes. Looking at himself in the mirror,he then smiled and said,"having super speed is so cool",he said to himself. His expression suddenly changed and he muttered to himself while shaking his head slightly in self-pity,"if only nobody was after my life,I hate this". "Alex,you've be

He knew that researching this was a forbidden Pixons law made my Alexander as they had tried to turning a few humans into Pixons but it resulted in death and not just death,the person will feel a huge amount of pain in all part of their body before they died.

If Alfred had been focused on listening to Alex,he would have heard his thoughts just like Alex could hear his,but he just went back to lie down,while Alex kept thinking about how Alfred would control himself. *MEANWHILE* "Now we just have to tidy up this place. They almost destroyed everything here",Jade said to Brad as he needed to clear all the broken trees and rubbles around the forest. "I can't stay here wit Jade,I have something to do and I need to do it fast",Brad said. "What could you possibly have to do that is so important?",Jade asked while raising a brow at Brad as he found it strange that Brad suddenly wants to leave. Brad ignored the questioning gaze Jade was giving him and just answered jokingly,"ohh so what's that I see there?,missing me already". "Missing you?",Jade scoffed.

Alex said that I'm refusing a part of my soul and that could keep on slowing my healing.But how do you accept something you never asked for?'. He kept thinking about all that happened and how close he was to death some minutes ago. "This is hard to accept,I never asked for any of this".Alfred muttered to himself before he finally drifted into the arms of sleep. He woke up in the evening of that same day,he then looked at himself in the mirror of his room and remembered how he looked so frail a few days ago compared to how he looked now.His skin was now so smooth thanks to Pixon healing and his body has also changed,though he wouldn't consider himself to be very hefty currently like those wrestlers he always saw on the television but he knew he now had a shredded figure and he also got taller.

Fighting Kahn[2]
Kahn in his full transformation looked at Alfred In anger and ran toward him with immense speed. If Alfred was in his right senses,he'd know that facing Kahn without transforming was a very bad idea that could cost him his life,but he was so full of rage as he had lost control and he just rushed in blindly still in his partial transformation. When they got closer to themselves,Kahn pushed Alfred away due to the sheer strength he had as he was fully transformed. When Alfred felt himself hit the floor again,he started regaining his senses as he was regaining control back then he suddenly saw a huge tiger with long fangs about to bite his head off. He then remembered all that happened and how he lost control. 'Now Kahn has transformed and I have no chance of winning',he thought to himself. He then saw Kahn was about to bite him and he instinctively took a nearby branch and put it in Kahn's mouth instead which kahn broke easily. Kahn tried to bite his head off again but A
