Chapter 3

As Barry's body was trembling with fear the camera in hand was not stable therefore it couldn't really get a clear glimpse of what it was recording.All that was on Barry's mind was to run and don't turn this scenario into a Subway Surfers game.Barry took a deep breath and started backing away slowly from Jason or whatever the hell he was. He already started feeling relieved as he was getting closer to the fence.The fence was a bit taller than him but it was made a height he could jump over into his neighbour's lawn.With adrenaline pulsating in his veins, he took a deep breath and just as he was about to turn his back,Jason dashed towards his side and growled meaning he shouldn't try anything stupid.Then the thing that Barry had seen in every How To Train Your Dragon movie finally clicked to his head.Then he started,
"Jason,look man I know you're in there.It's me your bro, Barry."
Jason still wasn't convinced.
"And as much as I know you wanna hurt me, please don't cause even if that thing is you,Jason Thomas is still inside and I know you can fight the power inside you.Just become Jason Thomas and not this man-hurting monster." Then to Barry's surprise,the growls started getting lower and slower.

Then slowly and gradually the fur on Jason's body started disappearing.The claws were also retracting,then the yellow eyes turned back into Jason's warm blue eyes. He finally stood up straight and was rubbing his head.
"Dude, what happened?"Barry gave a sigh of relief and closed the camera."Finally got everything on camera and now we can show you the 'transformation'. Barry made his fingers into quotation marks and the two boys went into the house. "Again,you didn't answer my question."Barry smiled at Jason."Wait till the movie starts,"he said as he hooked up the camera to his computer just as the video started playing. Jason saw all that happened from the time Barry insulted him to the transformation then to him becoming a human again.

"Wow,"Jason said,"am I this vicious?"
"Well you almost slaughtered me, and probably licked my bones after you had shredded me to pieces so yes you are this vicious,"Barry said with that sarcastic look on his face. Smart ass,Jason thought.
"So all this,"Jason paused gesturing towards the computer,"we caused by your making me angry."I am awesome,Jason thought to himself."But the thing we really need to figure out is not why but what."The boys both stared at the computer as they watched the 'transformation'."Barry I believe it's time we head to the library,"Jason said as he cracked his knuckles."Or we could just Google it here. With super fast Wi-Fi nothing's impossible." Barry Googled the Thomas family tree and opened the search result on Wiki."Dude you're not gonna believe your eyes when you see this. Says here that your family belonged to a group of protectors and defenders each all different in their own kind." Barry scrolls down as they see a very old picture of people which was probably taken in the 17th century. Below they see a caption which read,The Thomas Family. Jason's eyes diverted to the other side of the page as he started reading.

"Not known is much about the Thomas family but if there is one thing the people of the ancient world could confirm was that this supernatural race of humans were the defenders of Earth."
Jason looked at Barry with a weird smile."Did you hear that dude,my family's from a race of defenders. Booyah!"
"They consisted of angel-like creatures and cat-like creatures,"he continued,"the prophecy that was to be fulfilled was that the last descendant of the Thomas family ,Jason Theodore Thomas,the Imperiax,the last descendant of the Thomas Family." The boys look at themselves.I'm the Imperiax,Jason thought to himself. Then the last thing that caught their eyes was the picture of the Imperiax. Which looked exactly like the one Jason had been some minutes ago. Jason rubbed his forehead and sat down on Barry's plush and comfy armchair. He let himself sink into the armchair.What a nice way to think about how your family came from a race of defenders."Really hard to believe isn't it,"Barry said standing up from the computer as he turned it off."But firstly how did they get the picture of me." "Ancient race of defenders and prophecy,"Barry said,"but defending the world from what?" "I dunno,"Jason shrugged. A thought came to Barry's head."How bout a dramatic entrance with fans and shades and fog machines to school tomorrow." "Yeah and we'll walk in slow-mo only us knowing I'm an ancient defender." "You just read my mind bro." The boys fist-bumped and Jason told him he'll see him in school tomorrow. That night Jason slept with a smile. Tomorrow's gonna be lit,he thought before he slept off.
