No one's POV

Y/n's younger brother, Jacob, was sitting on his bed playing on his phone in his empty bedroom. That was until he heard a knock on his door, causing him to glance up at the door before focusing back on his game.

"Yeah?" He says, his voice a little higher so his mother could hear him.

The door opens and his mother, Samantha, enters the room with a smile.

"How are you doing, hun?" Samantha asks.

"Alright." Jacob replies, not looking up.

"Good. Well, I'm letting you know that the rest of our stuff will arrive in an hour or two."

"Sweet. Maybe-."

"And you will be helping moving our stuff into the house, mister." Samantha adds with authority.

Jacob stops his game and looks up at his mother with annoyance. "Seriously?!"

Samantha nods. "Yes, dear. But don't worry, we'll be receiving help. Two friends of mine will be arriving later today to help us out along with their daughters."

"Really?? Who?"

"I'm sure you won't remember them. You were too young before we moved out. Their daughters were also friends of y/n when he went to school, so I asked them to help out and have a little reunion."

"..." Jacob stares blankly at his mother before shrugging and going back to his game. "Whatever..."

"..." Samantha frowns a little. Seeing her son not caring, she couldn't help but sigh. She walks out of the room without saying anything to Jacob. She closes the door behind her and heads downstairs. "I hope y/n is safe..." She mutters.

Meanwhile...

"You can try to hurt me..." Y/n mutters, pointing his index and middle finger at one of the thugs in front of him. Both of his hands were engulfed in flames. "But your attacks will be useless."

The remaining six thugs stare at y/n in both awe and confusion. They just witnessed the teenager take out one of their men in one punch. Sweat drips off their faces as they were too shock to move.

Above them, a young woman in purple was watching everything in silence. Her legs were dangling off the edge of the roof.

Her long violet hair blew along the wind. Her violet eyes stare at y/n with curiosity. She wore a leather jacket that matches her boots, hair, and eyes. Her jacket had white fur on it as well. She wore long stockings under her boots. Under her jacket she wore a white sweatshirt. She had two leather straps around her right upper thigh. She had an additional leather strap around her upper body that held her sheathed swords.

A flaming aura surrounds y/n's body. He stares menacingly at four thugs in front of him as he lowers his hand. Behind y/n, a red, four-armed, muscular figure floats behind him. The figure had all its arms crossed, completely silent. To be exact, the figure was a naked, muscular, four-armed humanoid figure with red skin. Each wrist had a golden bracelet attached and all of its fingernails are painted black. A golden belt was strapped around the waist. A trail of flames replace the lower half of the figure's body from the waist to the feet. It had four yellow glowing eyes with no irises, but they were currently shut. It had long, pointy tips at the end of each ear. It's pitch black hair was tied up into a pony tail which was held by golden cloth. And lastly, the figure had a long, but thin chin strip beard under the chin.

Y/n's POV

'Can't tell if they see you, Inferno...' I thought.

'...' Inferno doesn't respond.

I barley move my head by an inch to my left and took a quick glance behind me. And thankfully I saw Inferno floating behind me. I grin a little knowing he has my back before focusing on the thugs in front of me. So far Inferno picks up six remaining enemies. Half of them had powers and the others didn't. But from what Inferno can pick up, these guys aren't the ones who stole my money or that woman's earrings. So, that either means that fucker was a hired guy or he's hiding somewhere nearby...

'Good grief...' I thought.

Seeing as they're all still frozen from my display of power, I decided to wake them up.

No one's POV

"So..." Y/n said loud enough so everyone can hear him. "Either you bastards can give up peacefully and give back what you stole, or I can beat the shit out of you and take back what isn't yours. Make your choice."

"..." Everyone around him were silent for a moment or two. Almost all of them grew smiles before suddenly bursting into laughter. This causes y/n to lower his head down so his eyes were hidden by his hair. But the girl above wasn't laughing. Simply watching y/n like a predator studying its prey.

"You're p-power is just flames on you hands?!" One of the thugs shouts whilst laughing. "Was all that before just for show?!" Another yells.

"..." Y/n doesn't say anything.

Although y/n knows Inferno was with him, no one else could see it. All anyone else saw was flames on y/n's hands. It was a complete letdown to everyone but y/n or the girl though.

"What's wrong, kid?! Too embarrassed about your power?!" A third yells.

"Go home! Stop acting tough!"

Another moment or two passes. Y/n just stood there, unresponsive, as Inferno floats behind him. "You're all worthless..." He eventually mutters. No one heard him. He took a step forward, still not being noticed.

Everyone was too busy laughing their asses off to give a crap about him. Y/n then took another step, then another, and one more. After, he reels his right arm back, Inferno mimicking him, and punches one of the thug's gut, Inferno does so as well. The punch was so powerful it created a small shockwave and knocks the wind out of the thug as he suddenly gasps for air.

"Useless..." Y/n continues to mutter on.

Y/n slowly pulls his arm back and steps back. Everyone around the two stop laughing as they heard their companion struggling to breath. He suddenly lost all of his strength in his legs and drops to knees. He could feel something rushing up his throat before puking blood uncontrollably to the point he passes out.

"?!" Everyone looks at their partner in horror. "W-what-?!" One shouts.

"Disgusting..." Y/n mutters over the thug. The aura around him slowly grew. He slowly turns around and lifts his head up, giving several of the thugs a menacing death glare. "Pieces of shit."

Meanwhile...

As most of the thugs couldn't feel it, the girl up above felt y/n's energy growing. She seemed even more curious about this individual as no one has noticed her yet.

Meanwhile...

Y/n took a step forward, causing a few to step back. The others were either too afraid to move or their pride made them stay. The one with sticks for arms growl in annoyance as he snaps out of it.

"He's just one kid, damnit! Don't pussy out, guys!" He demands before charging forward. The thorns on his arms grew larger with each step he took. He reels both arms back before leaping into the air. Y/n doesn't try to move out of the way as he simply glares at the thug. "He can't be stronger than us!" Was what the thug wanted to say. But before he could get in range of y/n, the thug felt a hand around his neck, choking him. He was magical floating in the air as he tries to break free, but the grip on his neck tightens. He gaps and chokes for air as everyone watches him.

From y/n's prospective, Inferno was chocking the thug in his upper right hand. It's lower arms were still folded as its left hand drops to the side. Inferno's eyes were still shut. "..."

Everyone could see the thug's face was slowly turning purple. His eyes turn blood red as he his struggle weakens. But before he could be finished off, Inferno threw him at another thug, causing the two to crash into the ground. The thug's head, who Inferno threw the other at, slams into the hard, cold concrete floor, instantly knocking them out as blood leaks out of the back of their head.

'Four down...' Y/n thought as a single drop of sweat forms on his forehead.

He whips his head at the remaining thugs. He noticed three out of four were glaring at him as the last was trembling in fear. Y/n took this opportunity to charge at the vulnerable thug and punches him in the face. The sound of bones breaking echos through the alleyway. The thug was flown back as blood oozes out of his nose and lips and teeth flew out of his mouth. He tried to scream in pain, but his back suddenly crashes into a wall. The collusion was so powerful that the thug made an outline of his body into the brick wall, cracking it as well. He lost conscious and his body drops to the floor.

'Three more...' Y/n thought as another drop of sweat forms on his face. He took a deep breath before turning to the rest and his eyes dart for the next target. 'Need to finish this-.'

"Die, bastard!" He heard a voice from above.

"?!" Y/n whips his head up and saw a thug trying to attack from above. He noticed the thug's arms were made out of metal blades, ready to slice him into pieces. "Damnit!" Y/n yells, knowing he had no time to dodge.

Before the thug could attack him, Inferno grabs the thug's arms in its upper palms. But that was a mistake as the blades started to slice through Inferno's hands, making them bleed. Y/n could feel his hands burning in pain and looks down to see the exact same wound on his palms where Inferno had, his hands bleeding too. He grits his teeth as Inferno uses its lower arms to punch the thug's gut, knocking the wind out of him. Knowing it had the opportunity, Inferno let's one hand go and used that hand to grab the thug's face and slam it into the nearest wall, shattering his skull in the wall. Inferno drops the body as y/n felt another thug charging at him from behind.

Y/n turns around and ducks just in time to avoid being hit by a mace made out of ice. "?!"

The second to last thug leaps back as he readjusts his grip on his mace. He sneers at y/n before charging at him again. Y/n does his best to dodge most of the attacks as the mace has a longer range than his fists. He flips backwards when the thug tries to give a powerful swing, but misses. The thug stumbles a little as the mace was extremely heavy and made him loose his balance. Y/n lands back on his feet and took this opportunity to punch the thug's guts twice, his face once, before ending with a spinning kick to the gut. The thug was sent flying into a trash bin and fell in it.

Seeing him not moving, y/n lets out a relieved sigh. His face was now covered in sweat and he was panting softly. He turns around one last time and saw only one thug remaining. The latter was trembling in a corner with his machete in hand, like a kid cornered by a bunch of bullies. He was sweating a storm as he watches y/n in horror.

"P-please...don't hurt me..." The thug mutters over and over again, quietly sobbing.

"..." Y/n stares at the thug in silence with a blank look. Inferno floats behind him with its arms crossed, waiting for its master to make the next move.

Y/n was about to order for Inferno to end him, but an image of his past flashes in his mind. It was him when he was a child, all beaten up and bloodied. His back was pressed against a corner as his body trembles in fear whilst holding a teddy bear in his tiny hands. He tries to press his body further into the wall in hopes of escaping as a shadow towers over him.

"Plea-please, big brother...!" Younger y/n pleads as he was balling his eyes out. "D-don't hurt m-me again!"

His brother towers over him. His eyes were blocked by his black hair but y/n could see a sinister grin on his face. He chuckles darkly as a massive blob forms behind him, a single purple glowing eye was all y/n could see from the thing.

"Oh? And where's the fun in that, little brother?"

Y/n's sobbing became louder as he saw the massive blob step closer. He shuts his eyes and held his teddy bear for dear life. "S-STOP IT! PLEASE!"

The memory of his past end abruptly with a white flash. The flaming aura surrounding y/n starts to disappear along with his flames. Inferno implodes into flames as y/n steps closer to the thug. The thug was still horrified by y/n's strength.

"P-please! Don't-!" The thug tried to plead, but was stopped suddenly.

He saw y/n kneel in front of him, leaning his face closer to his. Y/n glares at the thug for a moment before speaking up.

"I don't want to find or hear of you ever again. Understood?" The thug nods furiously before y/n slowly stood up. As he did he shoves his hands into his pockets. "Good. Otherwise you'll receive a beating far worse than your pals. And I will do everything I can to keep you alive so you can feel everything." He says with venom in his voice as he starts to turn around.

Meanwhile...

The girl in purple slowly stood up. She was about to leave until she noticed something odd. She saw the thug slowly standing up as y/n walks away. She saw several water tentacles, the exact same as the ones who stole y/n's wallet and the woman's earring, grow out of the thug's back. They reel back and were about to attack y/n if she doesn't interfere.

"!!!"

Meanwhile...
Y/n's POV

'Guess I'll loot the bodies to find out if they have my wallet or not. But I wonder what happened to-.'

"You fucking idiot!" I heard the thug's voice yell behind me.

"?!" I whip around but felt something barley graze the side of my cheek, causing it to bleed. "What-?!"

I heard the thug cackling. I look up and saw the same water tentacles from before being summoned by that thug.

'Damnit! So he was the culprit after all!' I curse internally. I glare at the bastard as his tentacles move around him. This is what I get for being nice. "Infern-!" I tried to summon Inferno, but I suddenly cough up blood. 'S-shit! I'm at my limit already!'

I can hear the thug still laughing from here. I tried to look up at him, but my legs suddenly gave in. I weakly drop to my knees as I wipe the blood off my mouth while panting.

"Looks like you're at your limit, boy!" The thug yells. "Excellent! I win! I fucking win!" He laughs.

'Fucking weirdo...' Was all I can think of.

I saw several tentacles starting to rise behind his back. I know he was about to strike, but I'm in no condition to fight anymore. I need a plan of escaping, but how?

Two tentacles lunge at me. I shut my eyes to prepare for the pain I'm about to receive.
.
.
.
.
Nothing.
.
.
.
I wait for another moment and still nothing.

'???' I slowly reopen my eyes. When I did, my eyes widen in shock. 'What-?'

In front of me was something unexpected. The thug was suddenly oozing blood out of his chest. His wound looks like he was hit by a sword. He coughs up blood as he looks completely horrified.

"I-Impossible..." He mutters before dropping dead on the floor.

"How-?" I weakly stand up. As I did I tried to find who or what was responsible for this guy's death. But I don't find anything out of the ordinary from the aftermath of my fight.

"..." Was I being watched this whole time? Was it possible that whoever did this wasn't in Inferno's range?

"..."

Some time later...

"Thank you so much, sir!" The woman said to me with a smile.

Several minutes have passed. Right now I was back at the flower shop. I managed to get my wallet and the woman's earrings back. I also looted some of the thugs bodies and managed to get some extra cash. After that I made my way back to here. The woman was beyond happy that I got her earrings back to her and immediately putted them back on.

"No problem, ma'am." I said. "Those thugs took something from the both of us, so I had to get them back."

"You have a power, correct?" The woman asks, confusing me a little bit.

I nod. "Yeah, why?"

"I just noticed you're injured." She points to my cheek and hands.

"Hmm?" I look down and saw she was right. I completely forgot about these. Damnit. I look back at the woman with a sheepish smile. "Oh, right..."

"Do you need any help? I can get something to help your wounds if you want. Is there any way I can help?"

My mind instantly thought of something dirty. I felt my face redden but I tried my best to remain calm. "I-I'm fine, ma'am. Really. Been through worst."

"Really?"

I nod again. "You shouldn't w-worry about me. You should probably call the cops about the thugs. I don't have a cellphone or anything to do it myself."

"I see...Alright then." The woman says. I noticed she was about to turn back into the shop but suddenly stops. "Hey...do you have some free time later this weekend?"

The blush on my face fades. I tilt my head a little. "Maybe. Why?"

"I was just hoping that you could possibly help me with some stuff. I need some help with my shop that requires some heavy lifting."

I shrug. "Maybe. I'm not sure. I just moved back into town yesterday and might be busy all week helping my family settle into our new home." I said instinctively. My eyes widen internally after I realized what I just said. I didn't even mean to say that but my lips moved on their own!

The woman slowly nods. "I see...It's fine if you can't help out. I can do it myself if needed, it's just that it will take longer. But I'll appreciate it if you can make it. Just stop by whenever on Saturday and we can start working. And maybe I can find a way to repay you when we're done."

"?!" My eyes widen when I heard her last sentence. '"Find a way to repay you..."' echos in my mind. Maybe...

I slap myself for having a perverted mind. But I quickly remembered where I was and snap out of it. I start to walk backwards with an awkward smile on my lips.

"I-I'll see if I'm available. If I am I'll try making it around three." Damnit! It happened again!

"Alright. Thank you so much!" The woman gave me a beautiful smile as she gave a small wave.

I nod before turning around and bolt for somewhere else to go to. I'm so flustered right now! I wanted to act normal towards her and say no, but my damn milf kink and hormones won't let me! FUCK!

I let out a frustrated sigh. I need to get home as soon as possible...

I look up and noticed the sun was beginning to set. Damnit...I lost track of time again. I need to make it home soon so mom doesn't worry about me. Hopefully a bus is still available...

Some time later...

'Finally...' I thought. 'Today was a long day...'

It took me nearly an hour to get back home. For the rest of the time it was peaceful. No one attacked me or anyone else. Thank god. I don't have enough energy left in me to call Inferno again.

I was walking on the sidewalk to the house. As I did I noticed a parked moving truck in front of the house with several boxes either in the trailer or on the sidewalk.

'Guess they've finally arrived.' I thought.

I head for the front door and began hearing chatter inside. At first I thought it was probably mom telling where the stuff should be put, but the sound of laughter caught me off guard.

'What the-??'

The moment I stepped inside the house I felt a massive amount of energy inside. "?!" My body froze from the sheer amount of energy. I don't think I've ever felt this kind before.

'T-this energy-!'

This energy felt...strange. It's powerful, but it doesn't feel like it's from a single person. It feels like it's coming from...three(?)...no, four people. But...their energy don't feel hostile. At least three out of four don't. They feel-

The sound of my mother's voice coming closer broke me out of my thoughts. I look up and saw mom exit out of the living room while talking to someone behind her.

"And that's when I said-." Mom stops when she noticed me. I felt the energy right behind her. I saw her smile at me as I became even more confused.

"Mom!" I tried to get her attention. "What's going on-?!"

"Ah, there you are!" Mom interrupts me. "I was beginning to worry about you!"

"Mom!" I yelled, completely ignoring her words. "Whose here?! Why-?!"

"I'm so glad you made it in time. I want to you come inside and say hi to a few old friends of ours."

"?!" 'Old...friends?? What the hell-?'

"Is that y/n?" I heard a cheerful feminine voice coming from behind mom ask.

Before either mom or I could say anything else, I heard several pair of footsteps coming closer from within the living room. I saw several women exit from our living room and stepped behind mom. I was completely stunned when I saw who they were.

"W-What...???"

"Hey, y/n! It's been a while!" A blonde teenager around my age waves to me. Right next to her was a younger girl with red tipped hair stood unsure upon seeing me.

Behind them were two older women. Honestly, they looked almost identical to the two teenagers.

"Y/n." Mom said, breaking me out of my thoughts. "You remember the Rose and Branwen families, right?"

"I..."
