We waited until it was dark and rendezvous at the agreed location.

Jake and Ellie were finally happy to get me into their clique again but I really just wanted to kick some drug dealers butt tonight.

Even though we were friends, we just weren't in the same level again. Doesn't mean I don't love and appreciate them.

We wore random clothes so not to attract any unnecessary attention. But, we did bring our superhero gear and our licenses clipped to our chest.

It felt weird holding onto my skateboard again, I would drop it from time to time but I remember when I used to hold tight not wanting to let it go.

Of course I don't care about that skateboard any longer, I'd rather hold onto the Forever Core instead.

We hid behind one of the few cars in a deserted parking lot of a warehouse.

The warehouse has no lights outside but was perfectly luminated on the inside, that's how you know we shouldn't be there for any reason.

We waited and waited until our target arrived.

    Ring, Ring, Ring. My alarm clock went off, pulling the sleep away from my eyes. It was the same time every morning — 6:15 a.m.I dragged the sheets away from my body and dismounted the bed. The mental exhaustion I had the previous day had worn off so I was feeling as fresh as a newly plucked apple, ready to continue my quest at becoming the strongest hero there is and will ever be. Was I delusional?. No, with the Forever Core it was possible. I just have to be consistent and show up. I walked slowly into the kitchen, the light was on so it took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust. My next few actions were all instinctively, because it had become a normality since the day of my second enlightenment event. A banana, cracked an egg, a cup of milk and a second cup of orange juice. It wasn't much, but it contained the necessary nutrients to sustain my body. "Your up early today!... As usual..." A familiar voice called making its way into the kitchen as I sat on the table to enjoy my

    I dropped from the sky like a meteor, crashing onto the shattered asphalt. The impact cracked the ground beneath me, kicking up dust and debris as the scattered remains of buildings groaned under the weight of their own destruction. I hated this. Villains. They always loved destruction. They tore through anything and everything in their path just to fulfill their own twisted desires. The sight of collapsed homes, the distant cries of survivors, the smell of burnt cars. They didn’t care about the families that lived here. The children. The dreams that had taken years to build, now reduced to nothing in a matter of seconds. I will destroy all of them if I have to because with each villain I erase, I become stronger. The Forever Core jeered inside me as I walked briskly, observing my environment. I stopped in my tracks when an ominous scream rang out into the air. Almost instinctively, I spun around in search of the origin of the scream. Was someone in danger? I ha

    "Come Out!" I ordered. My rocket boosters kicked in. But unfortunately for me, Blood Jaw had already caught up and he grabbed my ankle right when I was about to blast off in retreat. Planting his feet firmly to the ground, he spun around and flung me so hard I bounced a total of ten times before hitting a brick wall. "What the f*ck" I couldn't believe what just happened. Did I just loose in a battle of speed to a ten ton gorilla-crocodile?This is the power of a full blown B-Class villain.I glanced up trying to get to my feet, and just like before. Blood Jaw sprinted swiftly with twice as much speed into me. Driving me half way through the wall. From then on, he rained endless punches on my body like I was a punching bag. Not less than a nanosecond wasted for the next punch to come in. 'aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!''What is this...''What is this fresh inspiration!''Is this death?'My eyes rolled upwards only revealing the white as I took in the damage Blood Jaw dealt on my body. Ju

    I had no armor on. No protection whatsoever from what could happen next. Tch! How could I be so careless, I was so focused on keeping my secret identity that I forgot about being the hero. In that split second, I thought it was the end of my journey with the Forever Core. Maybe I wasn't cut out to be the 'worthy vessel' Q'urtona was hoping for. My brain suddenly went on autopilot and jerked backwards barely evading the slashing attack of the villains sharp claws. His claws caught me right on the cheek with a dreadful slash and blood began to dribble out. I staggered back in pain, holding my face as if preventing it from slicing in half. A while had passed since I felt raw pain originating from my flesh, since my second enlightenment event, since the faithful day i died. Almost. I glanced up at the villain as he began to take slow, controlled steps towards me. Seemingly elated by his attack, he grinned from ear to ear exposing his razor sharp teeth. I had to do something to sa

    Ominous.Yes, that was the word for it. Ominous.It bothered me, of all the superheroes wanting to prove themselves and climb up the ladder of fame.No one, nobody was capable of taking down a bunch of B-CLASS Villains that were rampaging through the city without remorse.My mind raced as I dashed across the zebra crossing and immediately made a beeline for a secluded alley so I could transform.I needed to get there. And fast!My sneakers skid across the asphalt road as I toppled over a few trash cans when I entered the alley."Initiate!"I commanded.That familiar hum resonated in my veins as energy pulsated from the Forever Core in my chest.Golden liquid metal spread from the chest piece engulfing my body gradually and in a matter of seconds.[Initiation Complete]Sector E was a few kilometers away and every second wasted translated to one more life taken."Come out."The rocket boosters at the sole of my feet powered up with a steady pace and soon after I was in the air.Moving l
