Chapter 2: The day when everything changed

   We are on Earth in 2023, one of the current heroes was the only one still alive because the others died in a tragic battle. The battle was the result of a bad tactical decision made by the captain of their team, a surviving hero who was devastated by the death of his comrades. His name was Tracker. Scottish nationality and water elemental user, lower than average and already 70 years old. He had long reddish hair and a beard and grey locks. After the incident he tried to protect Purpura on his own, but he only lasted about 1 month. Then he decided to release the Goms to find a new hosts. But they would need to be found, so he approached the US government to organize a global hero-seeking operation, secretly of course, so that no one except his chosen heroes would know about it. The US government had long been aware of the existence of Purpura and Prásinos and of their conflict. No one but the US government knew about the two countries, but they explained it to the governments of all the countries the situation and eventually helped Purpura. Any human can be a host so all humans should be screened.

   Visiting Érd in Hungary, it was the middle of September, 7 o'clock in the morning, when an interesting boy's alarm clock went off. It was an average morning. He showered, brushed his teeth, got dressed and then had a quick breakfast with his family. The boy wanted to go to school, but his mother told him not to forget his lunch ticket. Then he started walking towards the school. The boy's name is Daniel, Daniel Takács. He was a 17-year-old boy, a little taller than average, with dark brown hair and short, but slightly longer hair. He walked to the local high school, as he lives not far from his school. He wasn't that popular, but he still has relatively many friends. And at the moment he didn't know what his future would be, but he was enjoying his life. He said hello to his friends at school, even Daniel's ex-girlfriend, because even though they broke up, they remained friends. He first two lessons were over, and then the school principal took to the loudspeaker. 

School principal: I ask everyone who is in the school building, including teachers, librarians and janitors, to leave the school yard immediately! Everyone is being screened as there is an epidemic approaching and it is possible that one of us is infected. I ask everyone to come out to the schoolyard immediately! On behalf of the screeners, thank you for your cooperation!

Everyone went out into the school yard, where there was a big white tent in the middle of the yard and the school principal asked everyone to line up and go into the tent one by one, in the meantime, he reassured everyone that it is just a test, and whoever was done could go back to their classroom. And they did, and quite quickly the people inside were screened. One of Daniel's friends came out of the tent, and Daniel in the line asked him:

Daniel: Yo dude! What's in there?

The friend: It was kinda weird. I went in and there were two doctors and a guy in a suit with sunglasses, they sat me down on a chair and poured some blue gelatinous substance on my palm and waited a while and they said I wasn't infected, I could go.

Daniel: Huh? For real? That sounds pretty stupid.

The friend: Yeah, it's stupid, but I don't really bother 'cause at least our class is cancelled.

Daniel: Maybe there's some kind of shooting going on,because there's no such thing as serious.

The queue went by pretty fast, and then it was Daniel's turn. When he entered the tent, there were really two doctors and a guy in a suit and sunglasses. Daniel didn't know how he felt about the whole situation. He sat down on the chair and without hesitation the doctors poured the blue gelatinous substance onto Daniel's hand. They waited a while, then one of the doctors said:
