Knight Vs TechnoMaster: Michael

Chapter 10: Things get worse

Weeks after the incident at the Invention Competition, things didn't go so well for us.

The day after that incident, I was called to court to face charges about what had happened that fateful day. A lot of people came by to see me either in a good way or they wanted payback for me punching the Crown Prince.

The trial lasted for about two weeks and I heard everyone give out testaments and testimonies, some were true and others tried to make it so I belong in jail when in hindsight, the judges and the snotty rich people who were rivals and enemies of my grandfather should be the ones on trial.

One person even gave out a fake testimony saying I brought a gun to the place which was NOT true. I didn't even own a gun at the time and plus I wasn't that violent either. I only punched a few people and plus they weren't that hard.

But the judges didn't care, they wanted me out of there.

I was just lucky that the Royal Family who was also present at the trial didn't file charges for me punching Knight in the face, they were more sympathetic than most people were but even then, that didn't stop me from getting humiliated by the whole island.

After the trial was over, I was faced with a minor charge of instigating a riot and causing a fight and physical assault on a person of authority and government. And I was forced to pay a fine of 100 dollars. I was just glad I didn't get sent to prison.

The day I got out of the trial, I expected Aaron and Stacy to shout at me or even scold me for what I did that day and how I made things worse but funny enough, they actually did give me a lot of sympathy and they only cared about how I was ok.

But things didn't get any better after that.

The whole fight was broadcasted around the island and even the world that so many people saw the fight. And as far as I knew, that had a lot of negative feedback. I still remember opening my door when a few of my neighbors had raided my apartment and when Mr Green doubled our rent to 20 dollars.

Even when we walked by, people often spat at us, they ignored us, they bullied us, called us names, pushed us, I even remember a man who tried assault my sister and was only stopped by me after I punched him in the nose.

The whole island was against us before but this time, that fight made them show their true colors. It wasn't just anger, it was pure hatred. So many people often protested outside our room either inside the building or outside. And they threatened to drag us out and hang us and of course was too much for our liking.

And it wasn't just us, a few people who supported us even after the fight were also brutally assaulted and faced a lot of damage. It was as if the whole island was against all of us. The Royal Family did everything to stop this but that didn't even work because most of Parliament and the snooty Socialist Society had the peoples support.

This was getting worse and worse by the minute and it didn't even seem to go away. I wanted to stop them, I wanted to yell at them, I wanted to scream, I begged them countless times only for them to make the situation even worse and worse.

And one day, everything changed for me and my siblings. One that would ultimately change me as the man I am today.

One night, while we were all getting ready for bed, a masked man who was hired by a member of the Socialist Society had planned to kill us for money broke into our room and ravaged everything. His blade gave my sister a bad scar on her stomach that is still there to this day. The man eventually fled the scene of the crime and when I called the police and ambulance, they were of no help at all.

I rushed to the hospital as fast as I could but the hospital workers were not very friendly to us and wanted us out of the hospital even though there was only one guy with a broken arm and just two people with the cold. Luckily, one of the doctors, Dr Eddie, who was my mom's doctor when she gave birth to me, saw that my sister was in terrible condition and decided to help her out.

My sister survived. I was so happy that I cried happy tears and never wanted to let go. Dr Eddie had saved my sister so I gave him a hug too. But even after that happened, a lot of people didn't seem to care how my sister was close to the brink of dying and often bullied us even more. They called us so many names and even bullied us to an insane level.

This was the final straw. My family had already been humiliated and I just experienced three people who were very important to me die in my arms and my sister was close to being number 4 and all they could do was treat us like we weren't even human. This was it.

I had enough of their stupidity, their arrogance, and most of all: how they had humiliated my family for almost a decade. I was going to avenge my family and at that point, I didn't care anymore.

I didn't care if i was to kill somebody, I didn't care if I hurt innocent people, and I certainly didn't care who would be injured. The only i cared about was that these people would get the punishment they so righteously deserved.

I was going to wage war on Peace Island.
