MY CELESTIAL SYSTEM

AFFIXANE FALLS

"Argh, school!." Jim complained and with a sigh, began walking down a crowded halllway.

He had been so excited earlier that he had forgotten he had to go to school first, Amy had left to get class a while ago and left Jim now that she's gone, he would have to walk to his class alone, though it wasn't really a long walk Jim always felt like that was the longest walk of the day, because once Amy leaves, he had lost his shield, leaving him open to the forces of nature.

"Trashbag!"
"Piece of shit"
"Weakling"

He would hear all sorts of names as he traversed that hallway to his class usually he liked having Amy around because if she was there, they dare not say a thing, only her glare could give you a heart attack however Jim was too meek or as they would say -An easy target-.

Eventually though, he got to class, taking his seat at the back hidden from the class, he sighed.

"Soon this will all be over." He assured himself.
The teacher walked in soon after, he was a young man around his late twenties, blonde hair and dark pupils, every other thing seemed plain as he was clad in a black suit, his gaze swept across the class resting on Jim for a second before shifting and he cleared his throat and began talking. The lesson had begun.

Jim had a forlorn look on his face not really thinking about anything in particular, he couldn't even concentrate on the lesson and soon enough, the bell rang.

It was time to go home.

"Hey, Jim." Amy called as she ran up to him towards the gates of the academy.
"Were you gonna leave without me?" She pouted.
"What?, No! How could I?... It's just... Amy, look I don't feel so good today, it almost as if something bad's gonna happen anytime." Jim said.
"Hey, don't talk like that, it's your birthday remember? Let's go home I bet they're waiting." Amy said as she dragged him off.
Walking out of the school, they saw their parents waiting outside standing in front of a levitating car.

"Hey kids!" Samantha called out and they headed towards her.
"Hop right in." Joe said with a smile, they got in and without wasting any tim, Joe sent the car forward.
'I wonder what kind of ability I would get, perhaps something cool like lightening or something.' Jim thought as he smiled to himself.

'But I would really prefer...'
*BOOM!!!* An explosion went off from somewhere far ahead and their car suddenly stopped, it wasn't only thiers though, all the cars seemed to be down.

"What's happening!?" Joe exclaimed with a puzzled expression.

"Um... Dad?, What is that?" Amy asked as she pointed out of the window towards the sky.

'Huh?' Joe thought
"Honey? What's going on?" Samantha asked worriedly.

Joe didn't say a thing but rather stepped out of the car and looked up, he was a military personnel, he had seen this before, last time he did he came face to face with death he reminisced as he touched the scar on his cheek terrible memories flowed into his head like a wave.
"Why?... No..." His face fell, his heart dropped as cold sweat gathered on his back, turning to his family, he sprung into action.
"Everyone out now!" He yelled and they all got out, when Jim looked up, he finally saw it. It was a ship, A spaceship, A scarls ship.

"We gotta run. Now! Hurry!" Joe said hurriedly, people had already started making a run for it as the once peaceful city plunged into a state of frenzy.

"What about the city's protective forcefield?" Jim asked as they ran hoping to get to a safezone or at least a public bunker.

"That explosion from earlier must have messed it up, now we're open!" Joe said as beads of sweat ran down his face, not from exhaustion though, but from fear. If he had been on the battlefield it would have been a different case, but here he was with his wife and children how were they meant to escape this?.

*THOOM!!!*
"ARGH!!!" Joe screamed as he got violently flung backwards and crashed into a nearby car.

"DAD!!!" Amy screamed as her eyes widened with horror.

Looking up at what had caused the commotion, the debris settled and the exterior of a metallic black pod was seen standing.

*THOOM!*
*THOOM!*
*THOOM!*

Several pods dropped in different places as Well.

*THISSHH!*

the lid came off and white fog was emitted from the pod and a dark scale covered arm gripped the rim of the pod and a figure emerged.
Easily doubling the size of a human, a menacing figure stood covered in scales and had glowing red eyes with a single horn protruding from the top of it's head. The figure turned to look at the frightened family and an evil grin appeared on his face revealing a row of dangerously razor sharp teeth as it proceeded to approach them, however before it could take a step forward, a metallic fist crashed into it's head sending it reeling backwards.

"DAD!!" Jim exclaimed as he tried to run towards his Father who stood with one of his arms metal and blood dripped from his mouth only to get pulled back in the collar by Samantha. Joe was a C5 rank hardening ability user there was nothing Jim could possibly do to help.

"Now you two stay put okay? Your dad and I will take care of this." She didn't sound too encouraging though.
She placed her hands on their heads and smiled wryly, Jim shuddered, while Amy was too shaken to even process what was going on.

Soon, Samantha's hands emitted a soft pink radiance and they both disappeared completely.

"Huh?"Jim had a complicated look on his face as he couldn't see his hands or anything in fact. He was invisible.

"Mom..." He croaked his voice hoarse and a lump in his throat.
He knew exactly what had happened, his mom was a D2 Invisibility ability user, this was her special move, she could turn someone or something invisible, but if she does, she couldn't go invisible herself. Although the Invisibility instilled in the object or person is absolute in the sense that you could not smell, sense or feel the person or object but she would become vulnerable.

"Mom..." He said as he watched her back getting farther away from him.

"Mom..."
