4 Pain and Rage.

Emotions suck. They are horrible. You can feel like you're on top of the world one minute, and then feel like your heart has been ripped out of your chest the next. That's what I currently feel like.

7 years have passed, Its currently 2007 and I am 12. My hair has become a lighter brown and grown to around my mid/upper back. My eyes have become livelier and brighter thanks to my more expressive emotions and my body has also changed. I am around 160 (5"3) cm tall which is quite tall for a 12 year old who has not yet started pubity. My muscles are also quite toned thanks to my dragon fruit, I am not muscly but I am quite toned.

My birthday was a few months ago and we had a small celebration between our close friends. Me, my parents, Ollie, Tommy, Laurel, Sarah (Laurels sister), and a few others. It was nice and peaceful. I loved it.

I discovered that I have a lot more emotions than I did a few years ago. My emotional range has expanded so now I am around 70% of a normal persons range. I can smile, laugh, tease, joke and sometimes cry and this was one of the times I felt joy, just a celebration with my family and close friends.

During these last 7 years, I continued to train, practice my music and my drawings. I managed to defeat the second level training dummy when I was 10 and am working on the 3rd level. My control of the elements have progressed massively, like I can now create around 150 light spears at once and my lightning progressed to around 20 million volts. I also practised using several weapons and mastered a few of them. I became extremely profficient in the daggers and the same with a sword. I can use several others too, like the spear, axe, hammers, bows. I haven't tried to use any type of gun since I would rather rely on myself. Plus guns without any type of energy cannot harm me.

My music continued to become better and better and I sang a few songs from my past life which I found out don't exist here. Like Bob Marley. How in gods name he doesn't exist baffled me, since he was someone I would have loved to meet. But I became like a mini celebrity due to my songs. They actually became quite famous which isn't suprising since it's Bob Marley.

The reason I am not more famous is because no one knows who I am, I posted the songs anonymously, so my identity is a mystery, with many creating conspiracy's.

My art also advanced a lot. I have several paintings that sold for a lot of money and 1 of them is placed in a museum. Why? I have no idea. I just drew a picture of Kaido in his dragon form surrounded by bodies and it became a sensation.

We found out the one responsible for the attack 7 years ago. It was a CEO hoping to run for mayor of the city. His company was no where next to the same level as ours or malcolms and so he became desperate thinking that he would fail in his election since he wasn't rich enough.

*sigh* idiot.

When he found out about the party, he thought it was his chance to take out a few of his enemies and hit them with a major set back so he hired several men to kidnap important people and then use them for ransom. I was included in the list since I was a weakness to the queens apparently. Once he was given his ransom of outrageous amounts, he intended to sell the people he kidnapped so that they companies would have no choice but to focus on finding their family rather than finding him. A stupid second generation rich idiot who drove his fathers hard work into the ground within a matter of years.

I began my training for the company when I was 7. My parents began to take me to the company so I could learn firsthand. I was tutored by them at home and also completed a college deploma for business when I was 9. I did it online and passed with flying colours, becoming a hit once more. I also soaked up all the information my parents taught me, and became more and more knowledgeable on how to run a business. Unfortunetely I had to wait until I was 18.

I did however become invested in stocks, over the past 3 years I have made a few dozen millions from stocks alone. Which my parents placed into a private account for me and I began to invest in companies I belived would do well. One of such was Wayne industries. 4 years ago it was revealed that Thomas and Martha Wayne were killed, leaving Bruce Wayne as the only successor. The company took a major hit in stocks, but I never thought for a second that a company twice as rich as Queen consolidated would fall so I invested 50 million. 3 years later, my investment was trippled earning me 160 million, due to the company being run by a man named Lucious Fox.

Of course, not all of it has been amazing. Several things have happened over the past few years that destroyed my image of the perfect family. I noticed father would often come home late, sometimes not at all, claiming he was busy at work. Malcolm and mother were still good friends and he would often come round the house. He would look at me with apprehension but otherwise he was kind. I had the feeling that his smile was either fake or forced though. Mother was also close with Walter.

Oliver was dating Laurel. We found out the next morning after our stay at the hotel when we found him in Laurels bed. Tommy looked jealous but still smiled and congratulated them none the less. The problem was 2 years ago, when I found Laurels sister in his room. Neither saw me, but I saw them clearly. I realised my brother was a scumbag.

I still love him all the same, but it doesn't change that he is terrible when it comes to relationships. This was when my perfect family shattered as I realised not everthing was sunshine and rainbows and that there are actually clouds that are overshadowed by the rainbow and the gold hidden at the bottom of it.

Overall it has been an eventful few years.... Until a weeks ago.

Over the past few weeks, I noticed father had a solemn look on his face. Almost like something bad was going to happen. I just assumed there were problems at the company so I tried to help the best ways I could. Doing less important paperwork for him and bringing him refreshments if he was too busy.

Mother was also quite distant over the last few weeks. No longer waking me up in the morning, which at first I was thankful for, but after I while I began to question why. She also no longer gave me hugs, she would just smile at me but I could tell it was a smile laced with worry. I once again assumed something bad was happening with the company since just because I have emotions, doesn't mean I understand them.

Even when I asked they just said they were fine and that they are sorry for worrying me. So I just tried my best to not be a burden and to help them with whatever I could.

1 week ago, father said he was going on a business trip to China. He said he was going to take the queens gambit instead of the jet since he wants to relax. I aksed if I could go since it was a business trip but he refused. He said that there was no need for me to worry and that it would be boring since I don't even understand chinese and so I relented and decided to stay.

Ollie however, was allowed to go with him after he begged. Father thought it was a good idea for him to get some first hand experience and finally take an interest in the company. So it was decided that me and mother would run the company whilst he was away.

The day father and Ollie were supposed to set off, me and mother gathered at the docks intending to send them of with a smile. Whilst we were at the docks, I spotted sarah hiding. At first I wondered why but when I saw Ollie smile at her and her smile back, I immediately knew.

It was even worse when Laurel showed up and Ollie walked over and kissed her before saying goodbye to her and her family. Sarah just watched from the side before she looked over at us and we made eye contact. I stared at her with an emotionless face and she must have been intimidated since she flinched before looking away. After that I saw she had snuck onto the Gambit but I did no effort to stop her. I know I should have but if I had to chose between my brothers happiness and Laurels, I would choose his. But even I know this is fucked up and my emotional range is only half as his.

Eventually, both father and Ollie came and said goodbye to me and mother before they both boarded the ship. Me and mother waited for a while until we could no longer see the ship before we both returned home and like this 3 days past. We hadn't heard anything from them for 3 days.

We both just assumed it was because of bad weather but when I woke up on saturday morning and turned on the TV, the news came on and the headlines caused me to drop the cup I was holding.

BREAKING NEWS: THE QUEENS GAMBIT, CURRENTLY BOARDED BY BOTH OLIVER AND ROBERT QUEEN, HAS SUNK.

"The Queens Gambit, the yacht owned by the famous Queens family, was caught up in a storm and has sunk in the North China sea. No bodies where recovered and the passengers are suspected to be dead with a survival rate of less than 5%. Search parties are scouring the area where the yacht was suspected of sinking, looking for any signs of life... Oh hold on, we just got a report that it was confirmed that Sarah Lance was also aboard the ship and is also currenlty missing." said the male reporter but I was no longer paying attention.

Instead my hands quickly found themselves on my chest as I began to hyperventilate and stuggled to breathe. The second I saw the headline, I felt as if a dam had broken in my head and all the emotions that had been supressed over the years hit me at once.

Pain. Sadness. Guilt. Depression. Hopelessness.

All began to bounce around in my head and I began to struggle to even think straight. If I had been thinking straight, I may have gone to try and find them, search for them using my powers, at least recover their bodies, but unfortunately the only thing I could focus on was the emotions destroying me from within.

I fell to my knees onto the glass, tears streaming down my face as I threw my head back and I let it all out.

I screamed.

With everything I could.

I felt so broken, so useless, so hopeless.

All these powers and I can't even save my family.

I continued to scream for what felt like minutes.

I felt my throat contract as my voice sounded so hoarse. I didn't know whether to cry, scream, sob or whimper. I only knew that screaming was the only sort of release I currently had. Clouds began to gather around a 15 mile radius of our house. 5 miles from the city.

Eventually, my mother came running into the room after hearing the noise and when she saw my state she dropped the food she had and ran towards me before stopping when she saw the news. The more she read the more she paled and eventually she also fell to her knees before tears began to spill from her eyes and her eyes also dimmed, like she had just lost the world itself.

Lightning began to drop all around the outside of the city. People began to run and hide in buildings but not everyone was so lucky. Some people on the way to the city or leaving the city were caught in the crossfire of my rage. Some cars were hit, some people were caught in the collateral of broken buildings and trees.

Eventually, I could no longer handle the pure despair and overwhelming emotions I felt and I passed out. Unfortunately, that was not the end. I woke up not even seconds later, but this time in the training grounds where I continued to wail until I could no more.

Then after experiencing all that despair, it channelled into something else. Rage. My eyes transformed into that of a dragons and my skin turned into pure black scales. My fingers into claws and a dragon horn in the centre of my forehead and i grew around a foot taller.

I began to lash out at the world around me. Punching whatever I could. Soon I made my way into the city were I began to destroy buildings and eventually the city itself. Seeing as I had nothing else to destroy I then ordered 10 of the dummy's at level 5 to attack me.

I knew I could not defeat them. In fact I probably cannot harm them but that is what I need to release the bone crushing amount of rage I feel at this moment. I also knew they could not harm me. Fun fact is that whilst I can only harm the dummy at level 3, anything below the 6th level cannot harm me, since my defense is too strong.

Thus, all 10 of the dummies launched at me with sonic booms accompanying them and 10 craters being made on the floor. They all surounded me and began to throw punches and kicks but I just grabbed the closest one and punched it in the chest as hard as I could. The dummy flew back and hit another one, which caught the dummy and threw it back at me, sending me pummeling towards the ground.

I righted myself in mid-air and landed on my feet in a small crater, before covering myself in lightning and appearing behind one in a flash. I covered my fist in lightning that I condensed as much as possible, that burned at around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit and punched the dummy in the back with explosive strength and speed.

Surprisingly, I felt my fist sink into the dummy an inch or two before it was sent spinning into the ground and when the dust cleared up I saw it had a fist shaped burn mark on its back. I quickly condensed 4 flaming wings on my back (2 on each side) so I could stay airborne and then continued to release all the bubbling anger in my chest.

fighting for what felt like days.
