"Stop right there bandit", an officer shouted. Because it was the council people I was robbing there were more officers. About three times the usual amount. I made it halfway across the bridge before I was surrounded by police. I stopped when I realized I was screwed. "Get down on your knees"! I got down on my knees and put my hands in the air. "Give us all the stolen items, toss them over"! "There are necklaces in my back dress, can I grab them"? One officer nodded his head. I slowly reached for the gun in the back of my dress. I quickly grabbed it, stood up, and shot three of the nine officers. One of them shot at me and I could see the bullets coming toward me.
This was it, the end of my life, 22 years of shit. Well, at least I went out with a bang. Yet I couldn't help but become overwhelmed with fear and nervousness. My eyes widened and I let out a small scream. Suddenly it was like time slowed down and a small explosion went off around me. The same thing happened 10 years ago. The bullets blew up and the officers fell. I quickly grabbed the stolen goods and ran back into Trap City. There it would be a maze trying to find me. 10 years ago when I was 12 I got into an accident that caused the death of my parents, and scars on my siblings and me. There's a scar on the left-hand side of my forehead from the 'accident'.
I was in my bedroom playing with Tayo and Shego. We were playing with a glass bottle and Tayo dropped it. The glass shards flew everywhere. I noticed one going for Shego's neck, and another for Tayo's chest. That's when it happened, the small explosion. That time it was larger and blew up the whole house. When I woke up my head was bleeding and all I could think about was finding my family. I found Tayo and Shego buried under some gravel. I looked around for my parents and they were nowhere to be seen.
Since that day I haven't seen them. I figured I was old enough and from there on out, I raised Shego and Tayo. When they turned 16 I allowed them to leave and start their team if they wanted. I don't see them much because I spend a lot of my time doing other things. When back in Trap City I went to my place and stared in the mirror. I stared into my blood-red eyes and wondered what was wrong with me. Now having these powers would have been normal if I was from RingTown. RingTown is divided into three sections and rulers. Each section is called a 'Ring' because of its circular shape.
The three Rings are run by a councilwoman, councilman, and president. Each Ring is a different lineage and holds the descendants of each. Each lineage has a different power. Councilwomen hold the power of speed which is passed down to them when they marry the councilman. Councilmen hold the power of super-strength, while the president's lineage ends up with random power or a mix of their parents. So the only way you have powers is if you're from RingTown. My parents are bandits, and so were their parents, and their's, so on and so forth. It would be a while before I could show my face in RingTown again. One to let things cool off and two to figure out what the hell is going on.
