3 With great powers come great..

Tyler fell to the floor knocked out.

"That's twice in one day," said Oliver fixing his sleeve whilst walking away smiling. "Bastard,"

Oliver walked down the staircase wiping the dust off his shirt The voice in his head was very familiar.

"It sounded just like Diablo!" Oliver concluded aloud.

He looked at his arms.

"Was there always something moving throughout him? If so, why the hell did he ever not notice it? "

Oliver reached the bottom of the staircase and decided to leave that problem for later, what class was it, and more importantly what time?

Oliver looked at his watch.

"Four o'clock, huh?" said Oliver in a disregarded manner. "I missed every single class but Power Training. The class should be out in the field,"

Oliver walked out of the staircase and opened a door leading outside. There he saw the class, and a bunch of random classes also taking the class at the same time. Sami was striking and beating a punching bag with a fiery fist. Ryan and Max were doing fighting exercises, and everyone else was doing their thing. Sami glanced away for a second and saw Oliver.

"Oi!" He Said happily running up to him. "You missed every class but the fun one!"

"Yeah, I did didn't I," said Oliver shaking Sami's hand.

"And about Tyler, I taught him a lesson, I've unlocked my abilities as well! Fire and water."

"Yeah, I saw you punching that bag. But what's with the uniform everyone is wearing?" asked Oliver.

"Hey!" called the male instructor. "Sami get back to your exercise. You must be Oliver," he said looking at Olive. "Come this way I'll show you what we're doing,"

Oliver followed him a bit reluctantly, he smelled like Doritos.

"This is "Power Training,". It's your obligation to take this seriously. There are ranks throughout the school which will one, give you respect, two go in your record showing that you were a good student. The ranks are from bottom to top, first are the "Pawns" which would be you at the moment, then are "Rooks", And after that are "Knights" there are 7 Knights after the Knights are the Guardians," said the proctor as Oliver followed him. "Guardians have jobs which are to help the ministry protect Horizon and also help the Chairmen or guard them. The reason for this is that Chairmen are at the top of the ladder, there are two Chairmen, and Chairmen can be overthrown. And the same goes for the Guardians and Knights. Understood?"

"Yeah I think so," responded Oliver.

"Good, now tell me what your ability is,"

Oliver stared at him blankly.

"I'm not so sure, I'm pretty sure it has to do with lightning or electricity," stated Oliver trying to keep up with the teacher's fast pace.

"In that case- follow me,"

Oliver followed the proctor who led him to a student who was practicing on a punching bag and had a uniform different from everyone else.

"Oliver, this is Isen Rye, Isen, this is Oliver Joseph,"

"Nice to meet you, Oliver," said Isen.

"Nice to meet you as well Isen," said Oliver shaking his hand.

"It seems," said the proctor to Isen. "That he has a lightning ability of the sort, it may be in your interest to train him,"

"Really!" said Isen taking off his gloves.

"Well, we'll see, show us something Oliver," said the proctor.

Oliver looked at Isen then at the punching bag behind him, Isen followed Oliver's sight and eventually saw that he was looking at the bag.

"What're you planning to do?" asked Isen as he moved out of the way.

Oliver didn't say anything, he didn't feel that power he did before when he fought with Tyler. How was he supposed to awaken that now? Oliver thought about it for a moment, he closed his eyes and inhaled the air and felt a slight tingle on his fingertips. Constant energy just moving around his body like a snake curling around your arm. Oliver felt the vigorous power literally just traveling through his veins. His pulse a steady beat.

"Badum-Badum...Tsk!" A lightning spark!

He could feel the electricity just solemnly sparking around him. A sudden Irradiation dispersed out of his limbs, a circle of lightning surrounded him keeping him half obscure.

Isen left his mouth hanging in the perplexed manner that was shown on his face.

The instructor had the same face as Isen, aghast.

Slowly all the students that were far around the field stopped training, only to incredulously watch the occurring events.

Oliver opened his eyes, which were glowing a bright cyanosis color. The lightning that surrounded him now joined in with the wind around him. The sudden gush of wind hacked some of the grass under Oliver's feet, leaving a few thin shreds of grass.

Then Oliver raised his fist as if slowly picking up a heavy dumbbell. The electricity as if feeling this movement reacted and shot up to his arm.

Then all of the lightning and wind that was spinning around him all scattered and formed around Oliver's hand, and it slowly disappeared into nothing until Oliver's hand just had its normal color.

The crowd that had formed behind Oliver from before slowly started applauding. But Oliver didn't turn around to grin and then pulled his arm back and then shot it forward punching the air in front of the punching bag.

Everything happened in unison. The wind rushed, and the thunder rolled.

A blast of lightning radiated through the air and hit the punching bag completely demolishing it- and annihilating straight through it.

The bolt had erratically spun in every direction in front of Oliver.

Then the energy finally slowly died out.

Everyone was quiet for a second.

"Well that was bloody amazing!" shouted Sami in the crowd.

"Yeah!" said a student.

"A gosh-darned firework!" yelled another.

Suddenly everyone felt converse-able.

Isen patted Oliver's shoulder and grinned.

"I'll take him!"

—————

Isen chose to help Oliver train at school, and he explained to Oliver that his ability was "White Lightning." Which is why he was interested in Oliver. According to him, lightning is a rare ability and has infinite variations. But these variations must be unlocked, but no one knows how to unlock a lightning variation, not even Isen himself does.

"Alright," Said Isen. "Lightning is different from any other power, instead of harnessing it like other abilities. You must be worthy of it or destined. And you're one of the two. Which means you will slowly unlock your powers given the right training, understand?"

"Yes," answered Oliver. "But one thing, why is your uniform different from other students?"

"Oh, that's because I'm a Guardian, I get to choose a special uniform for me," said Isen making a face that said, "What? You didn't know?"

—————

"Alright," said Isen. "Attack me,"

Oliver didn't hesitate since Isen was a guardian.

He swung at Isen, but Isen moved in lightning fast speed and counter-attacked Oliver hitting him in the stomach.

Oliver stepped back. Isen was no pushover. If he wanted to win, he has to win this tactically.

Isen unleashed a flurry of attacks, Oliver adapted and dodged or blocked. Suddenly noise around him faded, he could only hear Isen moving, a faint pulse. And he felt vibrations on the ground, as Isen moved Oliver saw him in slow motion. As if this was a Matrix scene or something. Oliver grabbed Isen's arm and punched him in the face then followed up with a blow to the stomach.

Isen fell to the floor.

"Cut-" said Isen while groaning. "That was amazing, you're the only Pawn that ever hit me. How did you suddenly focus so well?"

"I don't know," Said Oliver. "Edward told me that I have enhanced senses, but lightning fast reflexes are new,"

"Wait," said Isen as Oliver helped him up. "You know Edward?"

"Yeah, the man with the swished back Bradley Cooper looking hair," said Oliver.

"That's a weird coincidence, he is my trainer! He may be able to train you as well if you want I can ask him," said Isen excitedly.

"I'll just stick to getting slapped around by you," Said Oliver.

—————

For the next few days, Oliver trained with Isen. He met all his teachers. And Sami just continued training as well. Max and Ryan always made a joke or prank in the middle of class.

Ryan, Max, Oliver, Sami, Gugs, Alyss, and Fionna made a team. Ryan was the leader.

But Max and Ryan always got points taken off from their teams because of their jokes.

Isen was in a different team with higher rankers. Oliver heard that he was in a team with a Chairman!

Tyler, Doolin, And Dirk didn't stop annoying Oliver and Sami. But this time a bunch of higher ranks kept helping them, at least Sami and Oliver could fight back.

One day after school, Alyss and Fionna made a suggestion of going to the city.

"Yes," Oliver was all in. "Let's explore!"

"Okay, I'm down as well," said Sami.

"Us as well," said Chris walking with Ryan, Ashley, and Max.

"Alright," said Oliver. "I'm going to go invite Isen,"

Oliver walked across the large field and found Isen training.

"Yo Isen, you wanna go to the city with Sami and everyone?" asked Oliver.

Isen Thought about it for a moment.

"I have to train," said Isen reluctantly.

"Cmon," said Oliver. "I know deep down you want to go..."

"Fine," said Isen. "Only because today is Friday,"

Oliver and the gang left Mid-Horizon, walked to the bridge and went to the City of Horizon. The city was massive! The streets were amazingly clean, it was like Manhattan multiplied by a hundred! There was a lot of electric cars and holographic television.

They went to restaurants, but then they decided to go to the one and only Mall of Horizon.

Once Oliver and the others got there they decided to split up, Sami wanted shoes, Ryan and Max wanted to resupply on something, but Oliver knew it was something mischievous. Ashley, Fionna, and Chris wanted to go to the arcade, and Alyss and Oliver were still thinking about what they were going to do.

"I guess I'll just go buy clothes," Said Oliver.

"Alright," said Alyss following. "Wait up,"

Oliver looked at all the clothes. There was such a massive choice of selection and so many clothes.

Oliver walked up to a leather jacket,

"It's not bad, I do need a replacement for my leather jacket," Oliver thought. "But I'll just get an overcoat,"

Alyss and Oliver took turns in each section, they didn't want to risk getting lost in such a large mall with no signs. Though all the citizens just knew their way around.

"How about this?" Asked Alyss holding something up.

"If it looks good, you like it and can afford it. You get it," said Oliver laughing.

"Yeah, but this thing costs.." said Alyss checking the price tag. "373 dollars?! That's way too much for me!"

Oliver looked at the clothes then at Alyss.

"I mean, I can get it for you," said Oliver.

"Thanks but no, I can't have you use that much money on me," said Alyss.

"She doesn't know that Sami and I are rich," Thought Oliver.

-Authors note: Oliver's rich xD

"Really, it's fine," said Oliver.

"Thanks but no thanks," said Alyss. "I can just-"

Oliver grabbed the clothes and put them in a cart.

"Let's go," and started walking away, "You're gonna get lost if you just stand there,"

Alyss tried stopping Oliver but he was too persistent. After they bought a bunch of clothes they went to the fountain where the gang planned to meet up.

Oliver spotted a few people suspiciously putting on masks.

Suddenly sound around Oliver faded, just like how it happened before. Oliver heard guns cocking, and an individual bringing up the gun and pointing it at a guard. Oliver somehow knew that the guard was 10 feet behind him, and the man raising the gun was 120 feet away from the guard. Oliver felt vibrations and knew that Sami and the gang were still shopping. Oliver smelled the gunpowder as the criminal pulled the trigger.

"No!" shouted Oliver blasting a lightning bolt to intercept the bullet.

But to Oliver's despair, he was too late. The bullet struck the guard, and Oliver saw all this in another level. The gore of it was almost enough to puke.

The Guard fell down, Oliver's lightning bolt smashed the wall, people started screaming and running but almost instantly other individuals blocked the exits.

"No one goes anywhere," said a man in a red suit jumping off an escalator and in front of me.

"You're annoying," he said punching Oliver's face.

Oliver fell to the ground, but whilst falling he spun around and threw a lightning bolt at the man but missed.

His goons aimed at me,

"Just take him out," said the man in Red. "I don't want some dramatic movie scene where I say he's "mine,"

Men from all sides aimed at Oliver, Oliver gave a mild smile. Now, this really felt like a Matrix scene.

Oliver lightning dashed into the air and formed a lightning sword. His eyes glowing blue and a surge of power flowing through his veins.

The bullets whizzed through the air. Oliver saw a red line for each bullet to show where he was being shot at. Oliver moved his sword throughout the air quickly slashing and dodging bullets. One bullet came dangerously close to Oliver's head but Oliver clutched the bullet with his left hand and landed about 10 feet from where he was. The goons froze and looked at their master.

"You're good, but not good enough," said the man in red holding Alyss.

"Surrender, or she's dead,"

"Okay," said Oliver putting down his sword, he then flicked the bullet in the air acting like he was getting rid of it. As the bullet flew through the air and landed right above Oliver's thumb, Oliver concentrated all of his power on his hand and flicked the bullet which flew at the speed of light hitting the man in red.

The man in red fell to the ground, the goons were shocked for a few seconds then they all charged at Oliver.

"What the!" Exclaimed Oliver.

A wave of white energy slammed into the enemy and Isen warped in front of Oliver.

"You shouldn't have done that," he said.

Suddenly Oliver heard sirens outside the mall. An officer came in and saw all these people on the floor and aimed at Oliver. "Freeze! Don't move or I'll shoot!"

"Damn it," said Isen. "I think you're going to have to listen to him,"

"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!, turn around slowly!" said the officer.

"Alright," said someone walking up behind the officer.

"Who are-" the officer looked up and saw Edward walking with his badge pulled out. "I'm with the Ministry, leave this issue to me,"

The officer stayed.

"What are you waiting for! I said I'm with the ministry, it's your obligation to listen to me!"

The officer backed down, "Okay,"

—————

Edward let Oliver's friends go after questioning them. He told Sami and the gang to head back to Horizon. Sami looked at Oliver, "Just go, I'll be fine," assured Oliver. Sami nodded.

Almost immediately after the gang left, Ministry officials came.

"Alright, Isen. Care to explain what the heck happened here?" asked Edward.

Isen stood a bit straighter. "Well, I was tired of training and went to have fun with Oliver and his friends. Then suddenly these.. these miscreants came in! Oliver fought them off and took out their leader. Then just as he was rushed by a dozen of them I came in to end the fight,"

Suddenly a ministry official shouted pointing at Oliver, "Hey, you!"

"Oh crud," mumbled Edward. "Isen, lead Oliver to my house, I'll distract the Ministry if they get ahold of Oliver... then he's done for."

—————

Isen grabbed Oliver and warped, bringing Oliver with him.

"What is going on Isen?" asked Oliver.

Isen continued running.

"The Ministry is breached, villains have all control over it, Edward was ordered by the King to infiltrate the Ministry, so far we don't know their plans. We just know that they need you,"

"What about Sami and the others?" Asked Oliver staying calm, not that hundreds of people were after him, didn't scare him, but he knew how to assess situations.

"They're safe at Horizon, but you're going to have to lay low in Edwards house, understand? Don't go outside once we make it there,"

Oliver nodded and kept running.

Suddenly noise faded away and the same things happened over again, Oliver turned around to see hundreds of villains causing total mayhem looking for someone probably him, one of them looked Oliver's way and shot a bullet at Isen.

"Oh SHIT! Isen, warp!!!"

Isen looked back as he slowly faded away, "Grab on!!"

Oliver grabbed his shirt and warped alongside Isen.

—————

They reappeared in front of a massive mansion. Oliver asked Isen if this was actually Edwards house.

Isen just groaned. "Warping far distances is tiring,"

Oliver looked at Isen and just shook his head. He was about to climb the few steps that led to the front door of the house.

Then Edward appeared in front of Oliver.

He groaned and clutched his arm.

"From now on, you stay here try not to contact anyone, let's get inside guys. I'll explain everything. Yes, Diablo as well."

Oliver stepped in and closed the door behind him.

Isen showed Oliver to his room,

"You have to stay in this house, until all this over," said Isen with a serious tone.

Oliver's heard that like twenty times already and was tired of it. He just wanted an elaborate explanation!

Oliver stepped out of the room to go to the living room.

"Oh by the way," called Isen. "Oliver, what does… Erratically mean?"

Oliver stopped walking. "I mean- do I look like a dictionary?"

Isen just laughed.
