unOrdinary Champions 2: The Red Darkness

Chapter 26: Reveal and Battle

John's POV:

"John you have been acting strange lately, what's wrong?" Seraphina asked me.

"I-I don't want to tell you." I closed up.

"Why not? I have always been your friend and you always could trust me." She pleaded.

Not always.

"It just seems a little horrible but it's for the better." I said.

"OK and? What is it?" She asked.

I sighed and sat down in the grass for a minute. I looked out to the horizon and I said "I'm joining Phoenix, I want to destroy Spectre, I want to destroy this way of life and I want to build a New Reality."

"Phoenix?! Isn't Emerson against that and where Sanderson is from?!" Seraphina exclaimed. "You've got to be kidding me!"

"But here me out, Phoenix has the technology to LITERALLY overwrite out existing reality. It can change history, inventions, ideas and even humans themselves. In an instant they claim they can create a peaceful and happy new world." I explained to her. "You have to trust me on this, maybe you should join too."

"But your friend who you had killed by an accident of rage, was AGAINST people like that and Phoenix is a fork of EMBER! And you saw Sanderson, he's insane!" Seraphina reminded me. "Are you out of your mind?!"

"I'll deal with Emerson when the time comes, for now I'm going with Phoenix. They have new head now so I'm putting faith on this New Reality." I got up and turned away. "I can see you're angry with me so I'm going home"

If only she could see, I want to prove to her that we together can live happily ever after in a New Reality. I'll accomplish it and make our lives flourish.

"If you join Phoenix, I will never forgive you!" Seraphina got angered. "How could you do this?!"

"For better, Sera."

"If you join Phoenix I'm breaking up with you!" She started to get teary-eyed.

I looked at her coldly." I've had enough hard shit in my life to be immune to that threat. I'm done with all of it, once it's finished you will see I was right. I still love you Sera and became of it I'm going to help build the reality."

I walked away from her and she froze time in a fit of rage against me.

I looked at her and turned on my own powers and EASILY overrided her.

I twitched my eye and with a blink I deactivated her ability.

"John what the fuck is going on?!" She exclaimed.

She looked at me in shock that I even could do that let alone over ride her time powers.

I put my hands in my pocket and started to walk away. "You no longer even have the chance to beat me now."

That's how I broke up with the Ace of Wellston, and how I proclaimed my alliance with Phoenix.

This New Reality better be worth shit.

The next day, Wellston High. Sanderson's POV:

I arrived at school wondering what I should do today. I didn't really feel like actually learning or eating for that matter.

Ugh I HATE school, why couldn't Dr. Orville just download the entire Wikipedia onto my brain or something?!

It had been a while since I started wondering shit and I even forgot that I had taken class that day. Time really does fly when you no longer care about anything.

After that I returned to the halls heading for the gym area, I notice a lot of things as I was going there: Skyla and Reese talking alot with their new friend Keziah, Emerson and Fiora discussing something rather serious and John was literally avoiding Seraphina.

Did something happen that I didn't notice? Huh must be me, I better keep an alert on them two though. They're strong enough to take down EMBER and DARKLORD themselves, I'm sure they can get Phoenix down too. I'm just one defense with an unstable ability.

That's when I remembered that I was supposed to get the DIRT EASY position of Jack.

( Insert evil laugh cause I can't do that right. )

But how am I going to get it easily? A lot of people hate me lately so I can't do the typical "walk up to a slut and ask them to a title match." Stuff.

I had to think of an idea to get Reese to fight me specifically, I don't want anyone else involved.

Immediately I had a bright idea, it would be difficult to execute but it will work.

I waited for the other god tiers to leave the area naturally and I eyed Reese and her friends.

But for some reason, she herself decided to part with them and head a different direction.

Different class maybe?

That's why I found my opportunity, I ran up to her and hit her in the back with an energy blow.

She feel down to ground and picked herself up. "What in the hell was that for?!"

I held up an energy ball in my hand. "I need your position, but I knew you would deny a title match with me so I'm doing it by force." I sneered.

"Hmph, coming for that Jack since you're too WEAK to fight the King himself?!" She looked at me, glaring at me.

"I may not be as strong as the King but if I were you, I would be scared as shit. I'm basically him with some minor drawbacks." I revved up an energy rift.

She swirled severa substances around her and glared. "You got some nerve..."

"Even Emerson could kill you easily." I smiled. "So can I."
