The Ancient One's A Threat

Henry woke up the following day feeling refreshed and filled with vitality. Unfortunately, the bed they were on was broken from the middle during that night's exercise. He looked beside him and saw the fifteen years old girl sleeping peacefully and sighed to himself. He got out of bed and stretched as he went to the window and opened the blinds. His eyebrows rose as soon as he saw the police cars outside, the cops had trained their guns at the house but none of them dared to approach it. Henry soon found out why, behind the cops was the one man who gave him a hard time when he first awakened, Stryker. Henry wore his clothes leisurely then got out of the house, His eyes never left Stryker as he went towards him, the vehicles in his way pushed away by an invisible force but if one would look with a microscope one would see tiny electric sparks covering all the cars.

"Are you here to gloat?" Henry asked him once he was in front of him. Stryker had to throw back his head so that he could look straight into his eyes.

"You look bigger," Stryker said. "No, I am here to accept your surrender."

"Why would I do that?" Henry asked. As if waiting for that question, someone landed in front of Henry with a superhero landing. He slowly got up and put his hands on his waist in a superhero pose.

"Are you th villian that caused the death of twenty million humans?" he asked. Henry frowned at this his question.

"I don't know what you are talking about. The real villian is this guy, trying to kidnap a thirteen year old boy," Henry said and pointed at Stryker.

"I think you do know what we are talking about. You destroyed the Himalayas, extinguishing millions of lives both human and animals. You have also caused the change of the entire ecosystem, inducing a sharp increase in storms, floods, monsoons and many other things. You are a villian that should be put inside and never to see the light of day," the man said, ignoring what Henry said about Stryker. Henry looked at the man and suddenly felt a kind of semblance from him. Stryker smiled when he saw his look.

"Your clone. We didn't have any DNA on you before so this was out of question. But, you bled during your fight with the monk and we spent hours with Sentinel Services just to get a strand of it. Coincidentally, they also had a mutant that can make a perfect clone with just a strand if DNA. But we have two bags of soil full of your blood, so we can make limitless yous. This one is just a prototype..." Stryker was stopped by Henry slapping his clone so hard he exploded into a bloody mist.

"He's weak, too weak, like before I awekaned when I was fighting that Buddha possessed monk. You have to do better than that," Henry said with a smile but his words terrified Stryker to no end.

"I guess we can make more..."

"You don't understand what you have done to yourself, have you? If a farmer sees his sheep being slaughtered by mountain lions then takes his dogs to kill the lions but his dogs don't have a chance, do the mountain lions leave the farmer alone? No, they devour him along with his dogs. Now, who do think plays the role of the farmer here?" Henry asked him as his eyes started glowing blue. Stryker was so terrified he did not notice the air was becoming hot too. "You are incouragably stupid to come here." Blue plasma beams shot out of his eyes, ready to split Stryker into two but just then, the rune on Henry's chest glowed slightly and Henry was suddenly gone! Stryker felt his body suddenly become light but he fell to the ground as if it was heavy as lead. He looked down at his pants and saw a wet spot at his crotch.

"Wh...What just happened?" he asked out loud but noone was listening to him due to their shock and terror.

Henry appeared hundreds of miles away from Stryker and his beams destroyed a white wall in front of him. He frowned as he looked around and saw millitary men looking at him in surprise too. Just when he wanted to ask where he was, the whole building trembled followed by a roar. Henry looked through the walls and what he saw made his mind blank. A giant green man was wrecking havoc in the building, making easy work of the soldiers who came to stop him. Just then, an injured soldier came forward and ordered the soldiers to use foam on the green man.

"Holy Shit, is this Area 51?" Henry asked the soldiers he was in the same room with. The soldiers inholstered their guns and aimed at him.

"You must be a mutant! Do not move as we call the Sentinel Services to take you in!" one of them with the highest rank there warned him.

"This is so cool! I can't believe you have Shrek in your custody! But I don't remember him being so buff and angry!" Henry said in fascination. "I'm gonna go meet him." Before any of them spoke against it, Henry smashed through the wall and flew to where the green man was. Just as he smashed through the final wall, a grenade hit him on the chest and exploded, consuming the soldiers there in a fiery flame. Henry waved away the fire and smoke and was surprised to see the green man was still alive and unharmed. He frowned when he saw this.

"What are you?" he asked the giant man who threw a punch at him instead. Henry watched as the big, green, clenched knuckle came towards his face at a snail's pace and shook his head. He walked to his chest then punched him before everything started moving at the normal speed for him. The green man shot through the ceiling like it was fired from a cannon, leaving a wave of destruction till he was out and yet he was still going. Henry was surprised too.

"He didn't explode into chunks of meat!" he said before flying after him. The green man saw it was still going upwards then it suddenly clapped so hard the force from the expelled air made it start falling back down, accelerating the closer he came to the ground. Henry looked at him with a frown then his body was enveloped with swirling blue lights as the air before him started becoming hotter and hotter and the ground a couple of metres away started turning into magma. His eyes glowed blue and he was about to shoot beams if plasma at the approaching green man but the rune on his chest suddenly glowed once again and Henry disappeared, making the green man double back in surprise.

Henry appeared in a room that had a calming feeling but it was changed as soon as the heat coming from his body started taking effect. The walls glowed for a minute before they started melting together with the floor and that was before the beams shot out of his eyes that completely vaporised the melting walls, leaving a trail of hot lava that went for a few miles. Cold air rushed in to replace the vacuum left by the but it soon rose up as it was heated up then more cold air rushed in; that one beam almost formed a hurricane!

"Your opponent must have been one heck of a threat to throw this at him," Henry heard the voice of a woman behind him. He turned around and saw the bald woman from before looking at him.

"You!" he growled as his eyes glowed blue.

"You have the wrong impression of me, I am trying to help you," the woman said without hinting any fear or nervousness in his voice. Henry's eyes stopped glowing but he still looked at her warily.

"Who are you and what rune did you put on my chest?" he asked her.

"I am known by many names but the one I am fond of is The Ancient One. The rune on your chest is called the Threat Summoning Rune, mostly used on Demon Kings to teleport them to the nearby strongest being that can kill it. You left me no choice when you took off before I could explain things to you," she told him. Henry looked at the rune then back at her. "You are wondering why you were teleported to that raging green man before? I believe its because it is a creature born on emotions, anger. The angrier it becomes, the bigger and stronger it became until it becomes an existence that could destroy planets. But that attack of yours even though others could not feel it, was almost as hot as the surface of a red sun, you would have turned him into ashes so the rune was activated and you were sent to me. Now, we can have a chat about yourself and the future of this planet. Mind you, your questions will determine whether I have a cause to eliminate you from this universe. So, what would you do if both your parents were killed by these organisations that want to use your power for themselves?"

"I will destroy them together with everyone they are in bed with," Henry answered without missing a beat. The Ancient One frowned at this answer.

"Let me rephrase that. What will you do if you know a specific country voted to have your mothers killed so that no other person like you is ever born again?" she asked him.

"I will destroy the country," he answered, not missing a beat once again.

"Both answers can ascertain you are a threat to this planet,"

"Yet they reflect just how humans are greedy and selfish. Just because I am powerful the people in power want to kill my parents because they are afraid of me? Tell me, how are they not welcoming death?" he asked her.

"I am a protector of this planet, I make sure people don't just kill wantonly and get away with it.. "

"Why don't you just stop it before it all begins? Surely you would have saved the people who are going to die because of those leaders, right?"

"I can see the possible futures and messing with any of them is like spelling doom to everyone..."

"So you let them do their unspeakable deeds...Did you just say you can see the possible futures? Did anyone in those futures try to kill my mothers?" he suddenly asked, making the Ancient One almost regret saying that. She can see the future and she thought this future might be averted but he just had to be alert! "Tell me or I will level this place down!"

"I do not take positively to threats, young man," the Ancient One hissed at him. Henry's eyes narrowed too as he entered into a combat state. "But if you want to know then I can tell you who it is." Henry shook his head and started laughing.

"I am young but I am no fool. You must have seen how this conversation ends and you must have come with strategies to stop me from doing that. That makes you a dangerous existence to me because of your future sights. I am sure you must have seen what I do in the future and you have ways to stop me, don't you?"

"This is not going to end how you think it will end," she said as runes appeared on her hands.

"My mothers have always told me I should be patient, patience is a virtue. I agree with her that is why I know you don't know everything about me. When I awakened last time I got something I swore never to use in my life and I know I kept my own promise so you never knew of this power I have. It is not as earth shattering as the rest of my powers. It is something I think is in bedded in my DNA. I know for a fact I can get stronger through other means and I know some of the means. The voices in my head keep telling me something about Ki and how it helped my father become an unparalleled existence. I don't know who my father was but...Urgh, I am running out of words to say but I have enough juice to do it. Space Warp!" Henry suddenly shouted and the next moment, he was gone from the place he stood.
