72 Tears of Fury

After Ryan was taken away, Kyle, Samaria, and Lemonjello came together to talk.

"How did you know about us?" Lemonjello asked.

"I knew about Samaria, she and I have been bullied by Ryan since we were kids. It was a logical step to ask if there were others who were suffering from similar problems. I figured the Stellar Support Center was a good place to look for his victims. After some investigation, I discovered the two others," Kyle explained to the happy friends standing before him.

"Taking credit for all of my hard work, eh, kid?" Gramps chimed in.

"What do you want me to do? Tell them about my system Grandpa?" Kyle asked.

"Good point," Gramps admitted.

"But when I talked to you on the first day back to school you seemed surprised that I went to the same school as you," Lemonjello said.

"True, I didn't know you went here. I didn't start doing my research until after Ryan and I set the fight date.

I knew he was stealing my powers and I wanted to know exactly what I should expect when he and I fought. That's when I discovered who the other four were."

"I'm happy you found out, did you get a boost in your strength?" Samira asked.

"I did," Lemonjello said.

"Yeah, that's what the technique I used does. It released our captured injuries and then returned to its source."

"Where did you get that technique from?" Samira asked.

"Dr. Yu, of course, he was very interested in helping. He even identified who Ryan's other four victims were. He told me he just put everything together when I called to ask about Samira.

"Amazing, you're like Sherlock Holmes!" Lemonjellos said.

"Does that make you Dr. Watson?" Kyle asked with a laugh.

"Why can't I be Dr. Watson?" Samira asked.

"Because you're obviously Mrs. Hudson. Speaking of Mrs. Hudson, would you mind fetching me some tea?" Kyle laughed with his friends.

"You're such a sexist," she declared.

"Fine, you've won, you're Dr. Watson and Lemonjello is Mrs. Hudson."

"Oh no, did you just make the black guy your servant?" Lemonjello asked.

"I..." Kyle froze for a moment.

"Just kidding, man," He laughed. Kyle and Samira also started laughing awkwardly.

"What should we do now?" Samira asked.

"I guess it's time to go home, do you guys want to come over?" Kyle asked.

"Sure," Samira said.

"Yeah, that'd be a blast," Lemonjello said.

The three friends left and found Kyle's mother in the parking lot. She was waiting for her son. After Samira and Lemonjello got permission from their parents, they went to Kyle's house.

********

Ryan never came back to school. The staff had to take him to the hospital. The trauma of having all of his powers removed was too much for him.

After he got out of the hospital he learned he was kicked out of school for intentionally harming other students.

His continuous harming and bullying of other students were called vicious and heartless. A note was made in his personal file.

He was forbidden from entering the Military or join ever getting a superhero license. He was forced to wear special gloves to prevent him from stealing others' powers.

He also had to visit with a doctor every month to confirm he has not stolen any more powers. Losing all of his friends and being isolated from others only made Ryan more hostile.

Finally, Ryan couldn't take it anymore and demanded that his mother take him to see his father, Adalbert Austen, A.K.A. Mister Planet.

His father had been in jail for most of Ryan's life. It was when he was taken to jail when Ryan was in elementary school that Ryan started bullying other kids.

The prison was the most modern prisons on the planet. It was created to specially deal with those with powers. Some of the world's most powerful villains were locked away in it.

Ryan sat in the visitor's waiting area. When it was his time, he was lead into a special room where his father would be brought in. Ryan recognized it as the interrogation room he visited in the past.

It was called a visitation room, but it was also used as an interrogation room. The one-way mirror could be raised and lowered as the situation required. Gas could instantly fill the room.

There were even hidden weapons that would automatically attack and incapacitate the prisoner. Kyle waited a good thirty minutes before his father was finally brought into the room.

Mr. Austin entered the room with huge heavy cuffs that surrounded his forearms and calves. He shuffled in and was placed in a chair with clamps.

The man was massive stand 6' 5" with bulging muscles all over his body. Once he was secured, the guards left and Ryan was left to face his father alone.

"You've grown since I saw you last," Mr. Austin said.

"Yeah, you look the same," Ryan said.

"Did you come here to spit on your father?" Mr. Austin asked.

"No, I came to tell you I've reached a decision. No one is going to make me change my mind, not even you," he said.

Mister Austin raised his eyebrow as he listened to his son's words.

"Sounds like you've made a serious decision if even I don't have a say in it," he said.

"I'm done with playing nice," Ryan said.

"Kyle Kane and the school have taken everything from me. I don't have my power anymore, but I'm going to get it back. When I do, I'll let this world feel the rath of the Savage King.

They'll beg and grovel before me. Every single one of those teachers and the Principal especially will suffer.

I'm going to kill Kyle and everyone he cares about, and then I'm going to take over this world. You can't stop me and don't even try.

I'm going to get even stronger powers than the ones they took from me!" Ryan screamed. Tears came out of his eyes. These weren't tears of sadness, but tears of fury.

"Son, why would I try to stop you? I've been waiting for this day for so long. Not only won't I stop you, but I'm also going to help you," Mr. Austin laughed evilly and broke his restraints.

The weapons in the ceiling dropped and started firing at him, but everything bounced off of him. With a wave of his hand, he destroyed all of the weapons in the room.

Another wave of his hands sliced through the observation and the people in the room who were watching.

Mr. Austin looked up at the ceiling and energy beams shot through the roof. He grabbed his son and flew out of the prison.

"My son has good ambitions, Dad hasn't done anything for you for a while. It's time for some father and son time," Mr. Austin said as he looked at his son.

Ryan was surprised, but soon his face came to match the vicious stare of his father.

"I always knew you weren't some weakling rotting in jail. You are truly my father," Ryan said.

"You are truly my son," Mr. Austin said.

Father and son flew quickly and disappeared over the horizon.

The news that evening would report the escape of Mister Planet, the former hero. Many heroes tried to stop him, but he tore through them like they were little more than tissue paper.

Many heroes died to Mister Planet that day. It was the day Mister Planet revealed his true self to the world.

Now, everyone knew that Ryan and his father were cut from the same clothes. Wolves in sheep's clothing.

Kyle could only watch the news. He realized he would face Ryan again one day, and he better be prepared.
