ENERGY

Chapter 18

"Wow.. that was surely something." Shawn said, rubbing the little burns on his skin. "That hurted a bit"

Earlia sighed. "I told you I wasn't going to go easy." She said. "And why didn't you hit me back?"

Shawn stood up, and brushed the dirt off his pants.

"I didn't want to fight back." He said. "Not this time."

Earlia folded her arms. "Next time, your face will be burned instead of your arms."

Shawn smiled.

"Aww, don't mess up my face." He said. "My face is already covered in scars.. I don't need anything else on my face."

It was getting dark outside, so they decided to go inside.

"I have a question for you.." Earlia said. "A long time ago...when we were younger, you said that you wanted to get revenge on someone. Who is that?"

Shawn sat down, and sighed.

"You know, I wanted to get revenge on my father, but he passed away." He said. "So now, I'm just wanting to help you get revenge on the people who caused you pain."

Earlia frowned. "I wasn't in pain. I was angry, and wanting to hurt him."

"You know darn well you weren't only feeling anger.." Shawn said. "And isn't anger pain too? Well, mental pain."

"How are you going to tell me what I feel?" Earlia said. "You weren't there when I found out, and you can't read my mind."

Shawn looked her straight in the eyes.

"Imagine the man who picked you up when you were homeless training you and making you stronger just to steal away your power. It started off good for you, but then it started to become painful. You went through so much pain everyday.. he started to not care for you anymore. And then when you ran outside, he told you to leave, and to not come back until you're strong enough to defeat him. That just shows he never cares for you at all."

Earlia gripped her pants in anger. She hated when people brought up her past. I mean any person would, right?

"I don't need you to say my whole story." She said. "Just shut up, and don't bring it up again."

"I shouldn't have said anything. " Shawn said. "Sorry."

"Yeah, whatever." Earlia said. "Listen, I'm going out on a little walk. And no, you cannot come. I want to be alone for a bit."

When she was on her walk she swore she heard some strange noises behind her, but she decided to ignore it. Maybe it was some sort of animal, but it didn't sound like an animal. It sounded like metal scraping against the sidewalk.

She thought for a moment what if it's him? Him as in Disaster. But he definitely wouldn't show up like this. And he wouldn't hide either.

Speaking of him, you've probably been wondering where he's been at, huh? Well today is the day I tell you.

He lives far away at his secret lab that nobody can get into. Even the strongest person cannot bring the doors down. Why? Because he doesn't want people to bother him and mess up his work. Even though he could end their life in one second.

Disaster was working on his all new project: a pill that can remove the Energy of a person.

Yes, that was what Disaster was working on. He has been working on this project for 5 years, and it still wasn't done.

And whenever he gets finished, he will test it out on someone. He wasn't sure who, but he had many choices. He could try it on the yellow energy guy, the blue energy guy, or even the purple energy girl..

But he wasn't going to meet Earlia just to take her power away. He wasn't really interested in that anymore. He wanted to see how strong she's gotten.. he wanted to see the look on her face when he appears in front of her, and he wanted to have a battle with her.

He had so many things to tell her. About his projects AND his plans.

After he would finish his project and some other things, he would finally show up in Energvillia and start the destruction.

He stood up from his work table, and started to walk down the long, white hallways.

"I cannot wait to especially see him." His voice echoed down the hallway.

You're probably wondering who "him" is, and why does Disaster wanted to see him? Well, lets save that for later.

Disaster stepped into a room and looked for the last ingredient for his project. Yes, all he needed was one more ingredient to complete his project.

He slipped on some ultra protection gloves, and searched through some drawers which were filled with different types of medicines and empty vaccines.

He realized that he had put the ingredient in a separate room. So he walked over to the room, unlocked the door, and stepped inside.

Cold air blew his hair, the lights in the room shined on his glasses. There was a large glass tube in front of him, and that was where the last ingredient was.

With a special key, he unlocked the glass tube and the sides of the glass tubes shrinked and vanished.

He slowly reached for the ingredient that was in a smaller glass tube filled with black and white glowing liquid.

"All I have to do is insert this substance into the pill," Disaster said. "And my project will complete." He laughed manically to himself and walked out of the room. He returned to his work table, and started to Inject the liquid into the medium sized pill. The pill was grey at first, but when the liquid was injected inside of it, it turned white, black, and started to glow.

"I'm going to test this out on someone." He said. "And if it goes well, I'll make multiple of these, and take every person's powers away!!"

He put the pill into a locked container where it would be safe and went into his office room.

He grinned creepily to himself and threw his hands up in the air.

"Soon, mass destruction will start!!" He yelled. "Be prepared, Energvillia!!"
