Chapter 9: Why Oh Why?
I catch myself thinking about what's going on. What is that? Who gave it to him? Who else has it? I thought. I had so many questions, but I didn't have time to answer them.
He dashed straight me, but I dodge just at the last second. Wow. Whatever this guy has in him, it sure makes him fast. I thought. He then punches me in the face and I hit the wall hard on my back. "Argh. Okay. That hurt."
I get up and he flies to me. What! He has my powers! I realized. I stop the momentum and ouch him in the face. He flies back and hits the wall on the other alley across the street.
I fly to him but he gets up and kicks me hard in my stomach. I fall straight on my back and look up in the sky. He grabs me by my neck and carries me. "This is it. Marvelous Man." He grabs my neck and I'm chocking.
That's it. I'm done for. That was until I look in his eyes. They're blue. But it's unnatural blue. Then his eyes go back to normal and releases my neck. I breath and start couching. "No! My power!" Just 5 seconds later, he's back to normal, and a little scared.
I walk to him and square him straight in his jaw. I do a left hook, then right, and back to the left. I do this 5 times and uppercut him. He hits an American flag up the alleyway and falls down on his chest.
"P-please. G-give me mercy." He begs. "No, thank you." I said lifting him up from the back of his jacket. I spin him around and toss him straight to a wall. The wall breaks and he's now unconscious.
"Just another day, of being a hero." U tell myself. I gather the four men and tie them together with some rope. I know this seems immature, but next to the guys, I put their knives. So if they wanna break free, they're gonna take their knives, but I put them in an angle wear the look fine, but I actually broke them.
I laugh to myslef once doing this. I rake some paper and a pencil and write I Was Caught By Marvelous Man. I tape it to them and see that police officers are starting to arrive. "Well, I think that should prove my point."
Instead of flying away, I stay until the police arrive. "What the hell?" A police officer says while looking at the sign. He looks at me and I salute to him. "You're welcome." I tell him. Before he responds, I fly away leaving him clueless.
I touch my earpiece to see if Jordan's still there. "Hey. Jordan. I know you're there. I'm coming over." I fly to his house and enter from the basement door. I text Uncle Rick and tell him that Jane and I are just going on a walk for a couple of minutes.
Jordan is glued to the tv in his basement. "Dude, you've gotta see this." I walk to see the headline news. "Today on Channel 6 news, Non-Human named Marvelous Man seems to be getting some attention nowadys. Live, from East Asia Srteet and 4th, Sam Tompkins with us. Sam?" A news reporter says.
"Yeah, Diane. Ever since the meteor struck our beloved city, this man with incredible power has been spotted stopping robbers and stopping car thefts. This man goes by the name Marvelous Man, but to the thousands of teens on his new 'fan page' he is way more than just a hero."
Oh my god! I have a frickin fan page?! I thought. "Today, we are interviewing this teen who is also the team leader of the Marvelous Mans." He says. Marvelous Mans?" I thought. "Young man, what's your name?" A teenaged kid then looks at the camera. The guy had black, dreaded hair, a regular t-shirt, and looked like he's in my grade. He was also brownskin.
"Umm. I'm Jack Forest." He tells the camera. "Okay, Jack, so tell me, why did you start this fan page?" The reporter asked. "Well, I'm a non-human myself, and it's been pretty hard because people look at me like some weirdo. But when Marvelous Man came out and started using his power for the sake of humanity, I thought it was preety dope.
I personally can relate to what he's going through. Some people may want him out of Franklin City, but I say we should keep him in here. That's why I started this program so other non-humans can talk about what's on there minds." Jake says.
Wow. It's about time somebody was on me and Jordan's side. I feel like this whole kick-me out thing is just bogus. But it's glad to know that someone besides me, Jordan, and Jane think the same. "Wow. You make a strong argument. Is there anything you wanna say to the people watching?"
He says hi to his mom and the news continues with its daily program. "Dude, is it just me, or does this guy make a pretty good point? But besides that, what were you doing?" Jordan asked. "Well, while you were watching news, I was just beating up some Savages and getting beat by another."
"What?!" I tell him to sit down. "Okay, so after the fantastic date with Jane, I saw some Savages tryna rob this women, so I beat them up, and was gonna go home, until one savage takes out a syringe with blue liquid in it and stabs his arm. He immediately gets my powers after that and gets all buff."
Jordan is now wearing a shocked face. "While I was getting trashed, I noticed that his eyes turned blue, but then the stopped turning blue and let me go of a chocking hold." He stops me. "Wait. He was CHOCKING YOU?" Jordan screams. I shush him and calm him down.
"Yeah, but listen, after he let's me go, I beat him up and the four of the Savages get arrested." Jordan takes water from the mini fridge and drinks it all. "Okay, so you're saying that this savage had some type of... serum that allowed him to possess the power that you have?" I nod and he gasps.
"Dude, this is bad. If all the Savages have this serum in possession, they would be unstoppable." He says panicking. "Yeah, I know, if all the Savages have this power, it would take way more than just 1 non-human to fight them off." I start to think about what I can do.
Then, it hits me. "Wait. What if... what if I form... a team of non-humans. Some sort of... alliance with all the non-humans to fight off the Savages?" Jordan gasps again. "Yes! That's perfect. But there's just one problem to that. What if they're not willing to do it? Besides, not all the non-humans are superhero's like you." Jordan says.
"Yeah. But I've got a feeling someone's gonna be like me. Someone out there is willing to hide their identity to become a hero. But until that person comes, I'm gonna recruit some people along the way." I tell jordan.
Meanwhile, In the southside...
"Hey, west, did you hear? Marvelous Man took out Jeff, Morgan, Abe, and Don." My savage says. "What!" I said angrily flipping a table. "You know what, I told those dumbasses not to go and take some loot now, but did they listen, no. Now I'm the one who has to bail 'em out." Once the savage leaves the room, I take a some more of the serum. "Just you wait, I'm coming Marvelous Man."
