could jump,i pressed my green foot against the ground and
lifted very high and forward,landing right in front of the
running boy,making him halt to a stop. Catching me
unaware,he sent a straight punch into my chest,projecting me
backwards. I stopped after crashing into a tree heavily,destroy
ing the tree in the process. Just as the boy attempted to
escape again,Boyka flew in and sent him a strong punch that
smashed the boy against the ground. I got up and began
walking back to where the boy was. As i got to him and
raised my monster fist to punch him,he stopped me by
speaking up..
.
"Wait wait wait.....Don't do that....i don't mean any harm" He
said. I took few steps backwards and immediately began
morphing back into my normal self.
.
"Who are you?" Victor asked,mounting a strong electric field
around the boy to prevent him from escaping again. The boy
grunted a bit and slowly got up from the ground.
.
"My name is Lexi....Cybertron preferably" He said,settling to
staring at us one after another.
"Who the hell are you guys and how did you get here as well?
I've always been here but i haven't seen you all before"He
added,placing a hand over the spot where Boyka's punch got
him...his left shoulder.
.
"Same applies here...We haven't seen you before....We live
here so we deserve an answer from you i guess" Kenzie
said,folding her arms across her chest. I was standing right
beside her with a stern look on my face.
.
"Well,the question you asked me is kind of rhetorical....I can
only tell you guys my name which I've done....All other
answers you need might have to wait...You don't expect me
to trust strangers immediately" He said with a straight and
strong confidence. Judging from the way he spoke to us,one
would easily figure out he's actually not a average
human,even for him to have punched me the very first time.
.
"I know you're not supposed to trust us just like that but if it
may interest you to know,well we're not evil people as you
might think we are....If we're evil,then i guess you won't have
the privilege to stand with us here,speaking also" I
said,staring straight at the guy. He was staring back but takes
off his eyes and returns them at intervals.
.
"Okay okay....You all owe me an introduction in the first
place" He said,now putting up a toothy smile. Myself and
Kenzie exchanged glances and then,i started.
.
"Okay okay..My name is Arthur...she's Kenzie...That is Boyka
and the last is Victor" i said. Lexi smiled,returning a straight
gaze at me.
"What? Why are you staring at me?" I asked. He didn't say
anymore word but took off his gaze from my body. He then
checked a device strapped to his wrist and as he made to
speak,Boyka was faster.
.
"What are you looking at? What was that?" Boyka asked. Lexi
smiled and spoke up.
.
"It's a GPS technology watch....I use this for many
things,including...." He was saying then stopped speaking.
.
"Including what?" Kenzie countered. Lexi raised his eyebrows
and ended it with a slight chuckle.
.
"Never mind....That was a slip of the tongue....I'm not
supposed to tell you anything about myself yet" He said
curtly.
.
"Why were you pulling down trees with your bare hands?"
Victor threw another question at him. Lexi then turned back at
Victor.
.
"If you want an answer to that,you'll first clear this electric
field you used to cage me here on a spot" Lexi said. Victor
hesitated for a while then removed the electric field around
Lexi's position.
"Good....Now I'll tell you" He said,taking a dramatic pause. He
then brought out a device from his pocket and handed it over
to Kenzie.
.
"Here...Take this....You can locate my place with this
device....I really don't have enough time to start explaining
things to you guys right here....Come over and we'll get to
know each other extremely...I really need to go right now" He
said. Taking few steps forward,he took to flight,heading away
from the place.
.
"The son of a bitch can even fly....why was he running
before?" I said after he flew out of sight.
.
"He really wants to stress us earlier...That's definitely why he
was running in the first place but he got unlucky anyway"
Boyka said....
.
I headed back home after leaving my team's place. About the
strange new boy we found,we already scheduled a day to
actually locate his place as he told us to with the device he
gave us. We all agreed to be on a high pitched surveillance,lo
oking out for Brain Puncher in case he unleashes another of
his stupid games. I personally couldn't bear the everyday
news about dead people with missing brains...
Arriving home that day,i discovered my mom wasn't around.
Happy about that,i launched towards my room and slumped
unto my bed heavily. I heaved a sigh of relief and then sat
up,slowly pulling my shoes with my left hand while the right
hand rested on the bed. It was getting late already and i have
to be in readiness for college the next day. As i lay on my
bed,slowly taken by some gentle sleep,a strange sound
suddenly penetrated my ears,making me sprang up from my
bed into a sitting position. I began hearing distant yell and cry
for help but didn't see anyone beside or closer to my home.
Resorting to the fact that i had some sort of super hearing,i
got up from my bed and quickly put on my shoes again. I
then heard the sound of my mom's car that was just arriving
outside the house.
.
"Not now....this isn't a good idea...I can't allow my mom to
see me right now,else this won't be possible" i said and
began looking around my room for an escape route....Then
suddenly,my eyes caught the windows. I smiled at
myself,walked over there and opened it. As i heard the
house's front door open up,i jumped out of my
window,immediately landing outside . Without wasting time,i
broke into a run towards the direction where the yells and cries
were coming from. In no time,i arrived at the scene and saw
people running out of a nearby magnificent mall. I gnashed
my dentition angrily and headed for the door,accessing the
mall immediately. At first,i saw no one disturbing the
population but as i made to take another route inside the
mall,i sighed a strange creature. It was all black in colour with
a stretched white eye set. Couple of sharp pointed canines
stood out from its mouth alongside a long black tongue. It
was muscular all over with scary and thick external veins
dancing all over its body. To cut the long story short,its
appearance matched with that of Brain Puncher described by
Boyka and others.
.
"Oh fuck...The Brain Puncher??? I have to do something" i
muttered to myself. Suddenly,the creature sighted a little girl
clutching tightly to a table out of fear. It made some weird
sound and advanced towards the girl. Seeing this,i covered my
head with my hoodie to avoid my face being captured by the
mall cameras and ran up towards the direction to distract the
creature.
.
"Hey ugly beast.. .Take me instead,fucker...Take me!" I yelled.
The Brain Punched turned at me and growled.
.
"Oh shit...This isn't a goof idea" i jolted in slight fear as I've
never done something like that before,even though i had
abilities to fight it. The creature jumped at me and as it made
to tear me with its claws,i swiftly dodged it by sliding
underneath it. I balanced up behind him and as he turned,i
sent a skull breaking punch into his chest,sending it crashing
into a stand if jewelries inside the mall. By that time,the mall
was purely empty and citizen free as people had already
escaped to save their dear lives. I quickly ran to the little girl
and carried her. I jumped from where i was and landed beside
the mall's door. I told the girl to run and immediately she
broke into a run as fast as her little legs could carry her and
left the mall. While she was out,Brain Puncher had already
respawn himself. He made to go out after the girl but suddenly
before he could escape me,someone jumped down from the
upper floor of the mall ,sending the creature back with heavy
and strong kick on the chest. I settled myself and realized it
was Boyka on the move already. The Brain Punched got up
again and growled loudly,his voice echoed round the mall.
Myself and Boyka exchanged glances and charged at it at
thesame time. As we got closer,it growled again and swiftly
punched Boyka away. I tried retaliating the punch on him but
Brain Puncher as I've realized was very fast than we are. It
grabbed my fists,hauled me into the air and threw me at
another stand of goods inside the mall. Before me and Boyka
could respawn,The Brain Punched escaped the mall,jumping
very high and heading towards the roof of the mall where it
broke and escaped through. Shortly after that, I walked over to
where Boyka was. He was also covering his face with a ninja
mask to prevent identity revelation.
.
"That was fast....You seem to be good in accessing
situations...You were here even before he could kill anyone"
Boyka complimented as i got to him.
.
"Well,i was just home,trying to get some sleep when i sensed
this happening...Had to come over immediately" i replied.
Then immediately,we began heading police siren pulling up
outside.
.
"What the hell? We can't allow the cops see us....Let's leave"
i said. Boyka nodded the positive and together,we both
jumped and escaped through thesame place where Brain
Puncher passed through...
.
.
After escaping the mall,myself and Boyka walked back into
the streets,chatting as we moved on.
.
"Why are you the only one out here? Where's Kenzie and
Victor?" I asked,tucking my hands into my jacket side pocket.
.
"They're home....Just decided to take a walk into the city and
then i met with that situation" Boyka replied,taking a dramatic
pause.
"Man,that Brain Puncher is extremely fast....How can we even
defeat him like that?" He added. I chuckled a bit and then
stole a glance at him. It was very obvious that he's kinda
curious to figure out if i had anything in mind to say.
.
"We stand no chances against him....But what can help us
right now is finding a way to know his human form" I said.
Boyka nodded the positive and then patted me on the
shoulder.
