Xander And The Blaze 21...Final Step...
Alec looked around the room, but couldn't find Roddy. Suddenly, he remembered that Roddy had left a few minutes ago."Ah, I'm gonna kill the guy!" Alec muttered in frustration.He clenched the electrifying rod in one hand and held onto the band with the other, determined to find Roddy."Hey Xander, I need to know where Roddy is, Give me some directions, ASAP" Alec requested.A red dot blinked on the right side of the transparent screen, followed by a zigzag line. Alec followed the line, leading him to one of the old rooms in the building.As soon as Alec entered the room, he was unexpectedly struck with a heavy stick by Roddy."Fuck!" Alec cursed out, feeling the pain from the hit. Reacting swiftly, he turned around and retaliated by smacking Roddy with the rod, knocking him down."Asshole!" Alec shouted, venting his frustration. "I've always wanted to knock you down to shut you up!"Alec squatted down to place Roddy's left thumb on the holographic screen, completing the final step.T
Xander And The Blaze 22...Put you both in danger...
Heidi and Prof Smith strolled into one of the training rooms for a little private chat."Heidi, I can tell you're starting to develop feelings for him" Prof Smith stated."Falling for who?" Heidi inquired, pretending to be unaware.Prof Smith gave an exasperated eye roll. "Come on, let's cut the act and have this conversation. You're falling for the new kid, the superhuman."Heidi took a deep breath, her heart racing. "You're gonna tell me to kill these feelings, aren't you?""Heidi, he ain't your average Joe. He's a superhuman, and soon enough, everyone's gonna be after him. Your feelings could put you both in danger. Remember what happened with your ex..."Heidi closed her eyes tightly. "Don't bring him up, please.""I gotta make sure you understand the risks you and Alec will face if you let these feelings grow...""Prof Smith, this is different. It's me falling for Alec, not the other way around.""Yet" Prof Smith said firmly.Heidi narrowed her eyes at him, a mix of frustration a
Xander And The Blaze 23...Delight bar...
A burly guy with a formidable chest and a stern expression appeared in front of Alec, attempting to intimidate him, but Alec had learnt not to get frightened at the sight of guys like him as he's fought a lot of guys much more stronger than the guy is. "Hey, little boy, what do you think you're doing with my date?" Even the tone of voice was so scary but Alec will not be daunted, he will always stand his ground. "I said, what the hell are you doing with her, huh?" He gestured to Jenny "My date!"Alec frowned at the guy and shot Jenny a quick questioning look. "Oh, she's just a friend. I didn't even know she had a..." The bulky guy shut him up by throwing a punch, but it barely fazed Alec. "Dude, what the hell?" Alec rubbed his face, checking for any signs of injury, but there was none. Jenny squinted at Alec, her eyes attempting to zoom in on his face for any signs of injury, but she couldn't find any.The guy extended his fist for another punch, and in order to conceal his powe
Xander And The Blaze 24...Trailer...
Jenny couldn't see the trailer barreling towards them, but Jeremy, who was up front, spotted it."Fuck" He quickly slammed the car into reverse, realizing the vehicle was zooming toward them in the wrong lane. "This vehicle shouldn't be on this lane!" he muttered, foot on the gas in reverse."We gotta do something, Jenny!" Alec yelled, catching Jenny off guard as she had no idea about the oncoming trailer."What do you mean?" she asked, her confusion evident."There's a trailer speeding towards us!" Alec urgently informed her.Jenny's grip on the steering wheel tightened, her knuckles turning white. Jeremy quickly pulled up beside her, driving parallel to her car. He glanced through his own car window, assessing the situation."I'm gonna turn around now," Jenny suggested, her voice filled with panic.Alec vigorously shook his head. "No way! That won't work. The trailer will still catch up to us and crush us. Plus, Drew's friends are also racing towards us. What if our cars collide?""
Xander And The Blaze 25...Powers...
During the car ride to Jeremy's house, Jenny would sometimes sneak a glance at Alec. He was lounging in the backseat, eyes closed, but definitely not asleep. A guilty expression would occasionally cross Jenny's face, and she nervously twiddled her fingers as Jeremy drove in silence.They finally arrived at Jeremy's house, and Jenny confidently strode in after he unlocked the door. As they started climbing the stairs, Alec couldn't help but ask, "You guys live together?"Jenny halted in her tracks, a mischievous smile on her face. "Seriously? You're asking if I live with my own brother?"Alec blinked, his eyes darting between the siblings. The revelation was surprising, and it took a moment for it to sink in."Good night, I'm exhausted," Jenny said, pausing to give Alec a brief once-over before continuing towards her bedroom.Alec turned to Jeremy, seeking confirmation. "You two are really siblings?"Jeremy scratched the back of his neck, a hint of awkwardness in his response. "Yeah, w
Xander And The Blaze 26...Mysterious...
Alec froze on his seat for a second, caught off guard by Jeremy's unexpected question. The he quickly composed himself and cleared his throat "What powers?" he asked, trying to play it cool.Jeremy furrowed his brow brow "Alec" he called, his voice filled with a mix of worry and curiosity.Alec sighed, realizing he couldn't hide it any longer. "Are you talking about the way I can run really fast, or how I'm able to land a powerful punch?""And the way your body heats up after a fight or a run, and how you heal so quickly." Jeremy added. Alec shrugged "I don't really know how it all happened. Maybe anyone can have these abilities if they train hard enough, right?"Jeremy shook his head, his expression serious. "No, Alec. They can't" he replied firmly."What? But they can!" Alec argued, even though deep down he knew it wasn't true.Jeremy let out a frustrated sigh and hit the steering wheel lightly. "Alec, no! Nobody gets those kinds of powers just from training alone. They magically
Xander And The Blaze 27...Shadowborne...
Alec stood still in front of the window, his thoughts still consumed by the mysterious object, when father's voice broke the silence, calling out from outside the room."Alec?" his father called, his footsteps drawing nearer.Alec glanced at the ball he was holding, remembering his father must not see it or there is going to be whole lots of questioning. He was torn between uncovering the whole mysterious situation and hiding it from his dad. "What's going on?" His dad asked, his voice still sounding from outside the bedroom. "Shit!" Alec cursed, his heart racing. He walked back to his bed and quickly concealed the ball beneath his bedspread, positioning himself in front of it to shield it from view, then the door opened. "Alec?" His dad called again. "Dad?" Alec responded, feigning innocence as he met his father's gaze."Did you hear that sound?" his father asked, his voice filled with concern.Alec knew exactly which sound his father was referring to, but he maintained his act,
Xander And The Blaze 28...Shadow...
Alec sat with his dad in the living room, eating a slice of pizza, and no matter how hard he tried to shake off the feeling of being watched, it just wouldn't go away. The loud bang on the roof seemed to hold some meaning, and of course, someone had entered his room. The image of the ball with the mysterious word inscribed on it kept playing on repeat in his head.Alec's dad could sense that something was off and his concern was written all over his face. He asked with a worried expression, "Alec, are you okay?"Alec took a bite of his pizza and forced a smile, replying, "Yeah, yeah."However, his dad could tell that something was bothering him. To divert the conversation, Alec decided to bring up the discussion he had with Jeremy in the car."So, dad, I actually wanna ask for some advice," Alec started, looking serious, and that immediately grabbed his dad's full attention. "It's for a friend."Mr. Todd narrowed his eyes at his son, a hint of concern in his expression. "Okay?""So, t

53...Bullies...
In the cafeteria filled with hums and laughter, Alec and Jeremy sat calmly, observing the activities as they ate together. "You see that girl with a flat ass?" Jeremy described, gesturing his head towards a girl laughing with one of the football players in the school. "Alec turned his head towards the direction Jeremy was gesturing to. "Yeah?" He took in her appearance "Was she one of the bullies?" "Yep" Jeremy answered, popping the 'p' in the word "That's Belinda." The name sounded familiar to Alec "The girl telling everyone that Kara still loves Milo?" "Exactly" Jeremy's reply was fast. Alec's stare lingered on her before he turned his head back to Jeremy and sighed, pulling some strands of his hair "I can't fight a girl" "Of course I know that, but I know you wanna see the faces of the dickheads bullying your girlfriend" Alec rolled his eyes, a playful smile on his face. "She is not my girlfriend" "Yet" Jeremy added firmly, grinning at him, then he saw someone that caught

52...Kara...
Alec's smile remained on his face as he walked alongside with Heidi towards the car. The image of Kara's face kept playing in his head. "The girl is beautiful" He whispered to no one in particular. Heidi rolled her eyes and got in the backseat of the car, folding her arms across her full chest, Alec also got inside the car, but he took the passenger seat. "Today is really a great day. You get to beat up that guy and get noticed by his girlfriend, isn't that shit great?" Jeremy commented energetically as he started the car. Alec remembered when Kara had yelled at Milo that she was not his girlfriend. She also mentioned that they broke up. "Kara is not his girlfriend" Alec told his friends. Milo turned his head sideways to look at Alec "For real?" His brows were knitted. Alec smiled sympathetically as he recalled the way Milo treated her. "Milo is sick." "But..." Jeremy wet his lips with his tongue like he was mulling over something "Belinda told me Kara still loves Milo" "That

51...Hot fighter...
Alec's observing eyes fell on the two guys standing behind Milo like they were ready to support him if things went sideways. They were both tall and muscular with stern expressions. One of the guys had a lot of piercings while the other one had a lot of tattoos. Alec shook his head smilingly and turned around. He does not want to fight them. "Are you scared now?" Milo taunted, grabbing his arm. Alec looked down at the way Milo's hand wrapped tightly around his arm and looked up at Milo's face with a smile stretching the side of his lips. "I don't wanna fight you" Alec mumbled, his eyes going straight into Milo's. "Well, I wanna fight you" Milo spoke with arrogance and confidence. Alec chuckled softly and snatched his arm from Milo's tight grip. He began to wall off, shaking his head. Milo was still not ready to accept defeat. "Seize him!!" Milo ordered the two guys behind him and they obeyed instantly. They took long strides towards Alec to catch him by his arm and dragged him

50...Milo...
The girl with the blonde hair was standing near the staircase, glaring hard at a tall, sturdy guy who was holding her by the wrist. The guy looked older and intimidating with his neat beard and locks of dyed hair. He also looked rich with his expensive gold wristwatch, rings, necklace, glistening on his smooth skin. Alec's eyes moved between the guy and the girl, watching as they argued about something, then his eyes later landed on the girl, focusing on her alone. She looked so familiar to Alec. He could swear he'd seen her somewhere before he can't just point out the exact place he'd seen her.He narrowed his eyes at the her, trying to remember where he'd seen her.At a party? He does not even attend parties often. He only attends when being forced. School? He does not think so, although he does not even know or remember the faces of most people at his school. Work? No fucking way in hell. She does not work at HEP centre. Alec racked his brain and soon, it clicked. She was

49...Blonde...
Alec looked like someone who had been threatened to have his private part cut off if he does not attend a party. His handsome face was having no smile or friendliness on it. He kept glaring at everyone and everything that came his way. Jeremy had used all measures to make sure Alec surely attends the party. "Remember, don't push the girls away tonight" Jeremy reminded Alec as they strolled into the building. Alec rolled his eyes "You said that like fifty times already" He exaggerated. "No, It's just five times, dude" Jeremy said, looking serious."And are you sure its not more than five times?" Heidi asked, raising her brows. "Of course!" Jeremy exclaimed, gesticulating with his hands "I only said that five times, not fifty times" Alec rolled his eyes again in a way to say 'whatever'. The party was already in full mode that Alec's jaw dropped like he was attending a party for the first time. Everyone was wild. Everywhere was loud. Everyone went crazy. "Oh, my, God." Alec call

48...Best friend...
Prof smith stood at the entrance of the warm house, his feet glued to the front of the door. Kris unlocked the door and invited him in with a bright smile but he shook his head at her, staying fixed at the entrance. "You should at least stay for lunch, I need to show my appreciation" She said persuasively, but Prof smith smiled and shook his head again. "Eric" she called him by his first name looking displeased. "I'm sorry Kris, maybe another time. I have to get back to work" He said. Insect, also Isaiah, passed his baby to his brother, smiling softly at him and then turned to Prof smith who still stood at the entrance of the door. Isaiah cleared his throat awkwardly "Thank you for everything" Prof smith smiled with his eyes and patted his left shoulder gently. "You should appreciate your aunt, she's a great mother for not giving up on you" Prof Smith said, turning his face at Kris to beam at her. She also smiled back. Isaiah narrowed his eyes, looking around like he was searc

47...Father...
Insect stared at his brother then at his aunt, trying to study them to know if they were saying the truth. "He's got a baby?" Alec commented through the earpiece in his suit. "I'm also surprised" Prof Smith said quietly, staring at the baby in his arms. When Israel had given him the baby to hold minutes ago, Prof Smith had thought the father of the baby was Israel but now he knew it was Isaiah. "My baby is alive?" Insect asked again. They both nodded"But, but...." Insect blinked in confusion, finding it hard to form a sensible sentence "How's that possible?" He whispered. "We had to fake the baby's death to keep her alive" Israel said softly. "Now stop all these, Isaiah. You won't want your baby to see you this way." Aunt Kris gestured her hands towards him "You dont want to be viewed as a murdered by your baby" Insect shook his head slowly, trying to suppress the growing power of wickedness inside him. "I am not a murderer" "We know" Aunt Kris said softly. "We know you're st

46...Isaiah...
Insect held Greg's son tightly by his arm with his claws, while the guy pleaded for his life. But Insect didn't listen."I have been begging, please," the guy said shakily.Insect tightened his grip, feeling annoyed by the guy's last sentence. The guy cried out in agony."Nooooo!!! Pleaseeeee!!!" he begged desperately."When I begged you and your father, did you guys listen?" Insect finally spoke, his voice sending chills down the guy's spine as he recognized it immediately."Is that...." he trailed off, breathing heavily. "It can't be true. It can't be."Insect laughed evilly and confidently. "Really, Tommy?"The guy, shocked, realized that only one person called him Tommy instead of 'Tom.' "Isaiah?" he called out Insect's real name in surprise.Insect smirked and shook his head. "I AM INSECT!!"Aunt Kris turned fearfully to Prof Smith, her voice trembling. "Please, tell the Blaze not to harm him when he arrives," she pleaded."Why? The Blaze has to confront this guy," Prof Smith res

Alec's last sentence, announcing Greg's son's disappearance, didn't sit well with everyone."Now, I don't know where Insect took Greg," Alec said through the earpiece, getting frustrated.Prof Smith bit his lower lip hard, folding his arms across his chest to think.Jeremy rubbed his palm over his face, blinking rapidly. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," he cursed under his breath. "Insect is just so fucking troublesome! I wish I could punch him!"Heidi teased Jeremy with a smile. "You can only wish, you know you can't punch him." Then she turned serious to talk to Alec."Listen..." Her voice was firm. "It's not too late to save another person. You can still save Insect's mother from him.""Where does Insect's mother live? Do you have any idea about that?" Prof Smith asked, looking between Kris and the guy beside her."She moves from place to place," Kris replied, biting her lip as she thought."You could say from marriage to marriage. That's her specialty," the guy beside her added, scrunching up
