Fighting boy and the first fight

chapter 7: Jordan Meets Abandam

 James' last words at the end of the meeting echoed through Jordan's brain 'be careful who you trust.' Jordan knew he could trust Michael, they had been friends since they were in diapers, and Maddison was only 1, and she was going to be the rainbow queen, so she was trustworthy too.

The time between recess and lunch was painful and slow, from Lucinda's angry male like screams to Neil Dailish stealing the answers from Jordan's worksheet.

Jordan was glad when lunch finally came around. He ran through a gap between two purple bricked buildings located on the west side of the school, on the other end of the passage was a small upward hill with dead grass, leading up to a red-bricked building that housed toilets. This area used to be part of the school grounds, but no longer was, the abandoned toilet building was a big shaped dome, with two entrances on opposite sides, the whole place was spooky and empty. Usually, every time Jordan went to the abandoned toilets there would be many people queuing; This is because Max Myron works inside telling fortunes and horoscopes, Max must have closed shop because Jordan stood in a deserted area.

Jordan ran into the toilets with high anticipation, the second he entered, he was overwhelmed by the smell of mould and rusting iron pipes. Jordan looked down the staircase in front of him. There used to be a janitorial closet down there.

The passage beyond the staircase was bright with rainbow colours. The portal to Max's workplace was still open, but why? Jordan didn't see any customers, and there was even a sign on the door you would usually have to open to get access to the staircase that said 'gone out, be back soon.'

It seemed that Max was having a private conversation with someone, but had forgotten to close the portal behind him. Jordan's curiosity peaked, he wondered who Max wanted to talk to in secret, and why in private? Who could have something so important to say that only Max should know, or maybe, yes that was it, an idea clicked in Jordan's mind, cogs were turning in Jordan's mind, whoever Max was meeting wasn't telling Max information, but perhaps the informant was Max!

Jordan ran down the steps and hid in a shady spot just before the rainbow hallway; voices were travelling through the portal and down the hall. One was a dark voice, it sounded as if the man was sick, or the voice was synthesised hiding its origin, the other sound was Max's voice.

"I need to defeat that boy, and all the other six, but at least the boy, with one out of the way, the rest have no hope of defeating me." Said the unknown voice.

"We have to talk later, sir!" Max replied back.

"why?" Asked the distorted voice.

"someone's here!"

"Then let's begin plan 148." After the mysterious voice said this, Max pressed a switch; this was similar to hanging up the phone.

"Whoever is there, come out, don't be afraid," Max yelled out, and then Jordan came in. "Oh, Jordan, my son, you're here, I wasn't expecting you."

"Ha," Jordan giggled. "I thought you were supposed to be a psychic."

"Yeah, but even a psychic can't predict everything."

"Oh?" Jordan replied sarcastically.

"What are you doing here anyway?"

"Who were you talking to?" After Jordan asked this Max broke out in a sweat, thinking good and hard, and remembered what his boss said earlier in their conversation before Jordan went to lunch. 'He can't detect evil people or fly yet.'

"He was my boss; he said we needed to defeat Felix Black and his six associates. Max finally replied, making sure he wasn't showing any signs that he was lying. Jordan smiled and hugged him and smiled.

"I knew I could trust you," Jordan stated, and then left. He went back and played on the playground.

"Yes," Max mumbled to himself, after Jordan was long gone, "trust me!"

The sun shone brightly on the playground, Jordan was happily messing about on the equipment, going from the monkey bars to the swings, and finally to a slide, but then, trouble again.

The burning sensation on his knee happened again; it was the sign of danger approaching, his birthmark was glowing red through his school pants, Jordan's top priority was to transform and protect the earthlings, Mysteryms and Ascossians.

Suddenly a forest near the school swayed violently, and then a surface crack grew towards his location.

The earth split violently, causing a vast chasm, which sucked up the monkey bars; fortunately, no one was using them at the time, a man rose up on a levitating platform made out of dirt, clay, stone and other earthly deposits.

The man was wearing brown Egyptian robes; he covered his head with a brown hood.

"Who are you!" Jordan shouted, hoping that the man on the platform could hear him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I am Abandam Alopen, or translated into English 'abandon all hope,' and I'm here to defeat 'Fighting Boy' Pyronought."

"Well," said Jordan, being overconfident, despite the fact that he almost died twice, but Jordan saw what Abandam could do, Abandam had earth powers, but Jordan had heat power. "You've come to the right place," Jordan continued, "but I'm afraid your timing is imperfect." Jordan then transformed with a burst of red light.

Fighting Boy stood in the same place as Jordan was just a few seconds earlier. Abandam summoned an ungodly mass of land and threw it at Fighting Boy.

Jordan heated it up which dried it out, and then he incinerated it. Abandam threw all types of earthy objects at him, Jordan cremated them all with his extreme heat. Jordan then threw a massive fireball at Abandam, but Abandam put up an earthy shield, which a huge mistake, the shield got destroyed by the enormous heat of Jordan's fireball, there was no way that someone with earth powers could ever defeat a person with massive fire powers.

Abandam had no other choice; he fled for his life! He ran in the direction of Hescultran.

Jordan went back to his human form after he thought of powering down, and everyone cheered at their hero, Abandam had left a giant chasm, surely Someone would come along and fix it.
