Pinehearst High-school,
Jeremy Milliard.
Wounded, shot on his stomach. Jeremy hides on the back of an oak tree. "Damn it! " Jeremy shouted. He's in agony because of the pain. "I can't run anymore…" He mumbled.
Suddenly a group of Armed men, circles him. Pointed a laser target on Jeremy's head. Guns point him, Jeremy breathes heavy and heavy because of the shocked.
"Jeremy Milliard... " A sinister voice grumbles behind the armed mens. "This will not happen, if you didn't run." The sinister voice said.
"If we didn't run away... " He said and he coughs, blood appears out of his mouth. "You'll still kill us, right? " He continues.
"Hmmmm? You're right about that." The sinister man said and he signaled his men by raising his hand.
The armed mens ready their fire and they started firing.
2 hours Earlier...
Lynco Stest POV
I asked jeremy to go there at 7:00 but damn it, i'm late! We have a meeting, to teach him how to run properly as a running back. I get my backpack and i quickly left the house. I called Jeremy and i thought he wouldn't answer but he sure answer fast.
"Hello? Lynco? Where are you?" He asked.
"Sorry, I'm a hour late because of my mom but I'm just a few blocks away." I explained.
"Okay! By the way, I'm warming up already, is it okay?" He asked.
"Yeah! That's good! Just wait for me! " i said and i ended the call.
I'm such a sorry guy, i almost forgot him,but thanks god He's there.he's really full of potential to become an ace.
When i got there, i saw him on the field standing on the left side 100yards. He stretch a little but in just a second, He started running. Could it be? Is he going to do my Hell's Sprint? I quickly get my stopwatch to record the time. And when i was about to start timing it.
" You made it already on the end zone...?" I mumbled.
Jeremy looks exhausted after the run, he turns around and he saw me watching him.
" Oh? Lynco? How long are you watching there? " he asked and he walks to the bench.
I also walk towards the bench and i drop my bag on purpose.
"How did you do it? " i asked him seriously.
"What?" He mumbled.
"That 600yards dash, it didn't even take too long for you to do that." I said
"Oh... So you saw it... Actually That's what I'm going to tell you. "
" Tell me what? " i asked
" I think... No, I'm an Evo. "
" Evolved Human? So your ability is..?" I asked.
" I'm a Speedster, i run so fast! What I'm trying to do before you came is running slow." He explained.
" When did your ability manifested?" I asked.
" When i catch that thief that stole Allea's bag . Yesterday night, when i got home , i tried to practice running, training myself. And... Whala!!! I ran fast." He explained.
