Xander And The Blaze 30...It really says 'Shadow'...
Jenny curled her lips in annoyance as the guy next to her stroked his fingertips over her arm. "Stop," she whispered sternly. The guy smirked and continued, which only fueled Alec's anger even more. Just as the guy was about to move his fingers down to Jenny's hips, Alec swooped in and grabbed his arm from behind, twisting it with a firm grip. Using his powers, Alec generated intense heat in his hands, causing the guy to wince in pain. Alec quickly covered the guy's mouth tightly with his hand to prevent any cries of agony from being heard, especially by the teacher. "I hate guys that don't listen to simple instructions," Alec whispered, his expression remained hard, while Jenny watched with parted lips and wide eyes. She hadn't expected Alec to come to her aid right in the middle of class."When a girl says leave her alone, you do just that, do you understand?" Alec whispered dangerously, his words catching the attention of some of their classmates. "Nod your head if you understan
Xander And The Blaze 31...Quantum Nullification...
Alec rubbed his arm to warm himself up before he sat back on the chair and sighed. Discussion of his subconscious is a topic he has been avoiding, but Jeremy has found a way to bring it up."My subconscious," Alec repeated, lowering his gaze to the milkshake on the table."Yeah," Jeremy answered.Anyone who hears about how he got to get Xander would not believe him, heck even he does not believe Xander was real at first. "Yeah, it's like part of my powers," Alec finally said. That got Jeremy's full attention. "It was like an inner spirit in me got activated during the lightning. When I woke up, the spirit also woke with me and I became something more powerful with it," Alec explained, hiding the real and full details. He felt that to protect both Xander and his friends, Xander needs to remain a secret. "After I gained consciousness, I was able to communicate with my inner self easily, which helped me to solve problems faster and grasp information than an average human."Jeremy gave
Xander And The Blaze 32...Destruction...
Shadowborne walked around Prof. Smith, his shoes echoing on the hard tiles."Did you have fun with the box at the door?" He asked with a smirk, annoying Prof. Smith. "I'm sure you did.""Fuck you," Prof. Smith cussed him out.Shadowborne laughed as he continued to circle around Prof Smith. "I can't believe my best friend finally pays me a visit after all these years, and the first thing he does is cuss me out," he said, chuckling. He paused his pacing and whispered, "Well, fuck you too," before resuming his slow walk. "So, what can I offer you? Your favorite drink, perhaps?"Prof Smith looked up to the heavens, placing a hand on his hip. "How on earth were we ever best friends?" he wondered aloud.Shadowborne couldn't resist mocking him. "Oh, you want me to whip up your favorite dish? I still remember the recipe," he taunted.Prof Smith glared at him, muttering under his breath, "Shut. The. Fuck. Up."Shadowborne stopped his pacing and chuckled once more, he appeared to be enjoying th
Xander And The Blaze 33...Door...
Jeremy didn't waste any time and started typing on the holographic keyboard. Collins stood beside him, checking out the screen."What are you up to?" Collins asked Jeremy."I'm trying to trace the last location of Prof Smith's earbud. Hopefully, I'll find something," Jeremy replied, squinting at the screen as he typed.Collins also set up a holographic keyboard and started working alongside Jeremy."And what about you? What are you doing?" Jeremy asked, continuing to run his fingers across the keyboard."I'm working with you to speed things up," Collins replied.Collins and Jeremy typed rapidly on the keyboard, trying to find Prof Smith's last location, while Alec and Heidi anxiously paced around the center."I swear, this is all my fault," Alec muttered for the tenth time."Alec, it's not," Heidi reassured him."But he went to meet the shadow guy to protect me, and now we have no signs that he's still alive," Alec said, crossing his arms. "I'm so scared.""Me too," Heidi whispered."
Xander And The Blaze 34...Hack...
Jeremy's fingers danced across the screen, swiftly typing even as the screen began to show fading numbers, but he was determined to unlock the door and rescue the professor, so he pressed on. Heidi squinted at the faded numbers on screen "Can you even see the numbers?" Jeremy nodded a little "I'm trying"Alec, with his sharp eyesight, managed to catch a glimpse of the faint thumbprints on the number pads. "6, 1, 0 were pressed here before" he began, observing the fading lights,while Jeremy frowned in concentration, obviously trying to get something meaningful from the numbers Alex called. "3 as well" Alec continued "And 1... 2, 4..." "Is that the arrangement?" Heidi asked. Alec shook his head "I'm not entirely sure, but those were the numbers previously entered as codes."Jeremy's eyes slightly narrowed as he began to connect the dots. He then blinked. "Those are hexadecimal codes. I just need to arrange them correctly"Jeremy punched in some numbers, but it only triggered a bri
Xander And The Blaze 35...Fight Rick...
Alec eyed Shadowborne, and a part of him admired his confidence and the power that radiated around him."So you are really the Shadowborne," Alec said with fierceness, now gradually dripping in his voice and mentally preparing himself to fight him."I am" Shadowborne replied, still using the robotic voice programmed with the suit. He looked down at Rick, who was still not up on his feet. "Stand up, Rick, don't be useless."Rick managed to stand to his feet and steady himself on the ground."Alec has met Shadowborne" Heidi said to the others, her heart racing in fear."I wish I met him too, I wanna see the guy I won in the hacking game" Jeremy said with a grin and Heidi threw him a hard look that shut him up. "Tell Alec through the earpiece to leave that building now!" Prof Smith ordered managing to pace in front of the car despite the bad state of his body. Worry was evident in his voice "Alec is just having a nice chat with Shadowborne" Jeremy said lightly. "Shadowborne does not
Xander And The Blaze 36...Burning building...
"Alec?" Jeremy called loudly through the earpiece but got no response from him. "Alec can you hear me?" Jeremy bit his lip hard when he still didn't get any response "Fuck! Alec you're scaring me!" Jeremy whispered, fear evident in his voice. Heidi stood frozen, staring at the screen of the laptop, refusing to believe what she just saw. There were no human traces on the screen anymore, just fire and ashes, which the bomb had caused. No one could go near the fire since they can't handle heat like Alec.Alec was struggling where he was. He managed to get to his feet and used his speed to evade the fires, but still got slowed down and affected by the intense heat greater than his super heat powers and also the force of the explosion, which created a turbulent environment, making it harder for Alec to use his speed.Jeremy rubbed his forehead, shutting his eyes briefly, trying to think of what to do, but nothing came to his head. "Maybe he'll survive the fire since he's got super heat" h
Xander And The Blaze 37...Like an insect..
Alec was physically okay, but emotionally down. Failing a mission really ruined his mood and even with his determination to take down Shadowborne, he ended up failing. He didn't meet his dad home and guess he was still at work then. He went straight into his bedroom and clumped on the bed with a sigh. "Xander" He called slowly with a low voice. "Yes, Alec, how may I help you?" Xander answered instantly. Alec sighed again. "I did everything I could to take Shadowborne down, and even after going through that intense fire, my next level of power remained locked" "Yes, Alec. You never accomplished a single part of the mission hence the reason a single part of your next powers was not unlocked"Alec rubbed his forehead "This man is intelligent with a lot of powers, how am I supposed to face him next time if my powers remain at this level?" "How you face him next time is up to you, Alec" Xander replied in its usual emotionless voice. "Get out, Xander" Alec ordered under his breath.

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
45...Building...
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
