A New Uprising

Chapter 1: coincidence or chance?

Jays pov:

It was a fine Friday morning. The sun was shining, and the birds were chirping happy songs near an old run-down place within the Region now dubbed as Old Empire City. The door to the old home is opened by a thin and young-looking man who then walks out the door. That man is Jay Maximus, but he is better known by people as the Thunderbolt Hero, X-Static. I look up at the sun "Man what I nice day." I say with a smile as an azure light passes through body. Once the light disappears, I am in my hero outfit with an aura of small and constant sparks around me. I smile "Let's go!" I exclaim and enter Supersonic Bolt Mode and run off towards New Empire City while moving at the speed of sound. As I arrive seconds later, I look at my hand "Am I getting old?" I ask myself before giggling "Nah!" I exclaim as I jump to look for any crimes around the city. About 20 minutes after, I have stopped a total of 6 crimes which some of them included a heist, a mugging, and a break-in. I rush to an alleyway and change back into civilian clothes. I then walk out and look at a list "I really have not bought milk I'm a while..." I tell myself as I walk towards the nearest store to get some groceries.

searching through the jiffy store in the snack area. "what the hell is this?" I ask softly looking at a bag of some kind of chips. I look up at another snack bag. 'finally, something I am familiar with' i set down the foreign chips to pick up a small bag of Cheetos. walking to the back where the coolers are located with drinks in it. scanning through it and spying a water bottle I gently open the glass door and quickly grab the water bottle out closing the door. moving the white locks on my shoulder and keeping my head down walking swiftly towards the cashier

Jay's P.O.V:

I rush around the store, quickly getting the items on my list and filling up my cart with food. I get to the back area shortly after I pick up a bag of Flaming Hot Lays. I look through the coolers and see that there is only one gallon of milk left. I sigh "Oh well, lucky me." I sat as I open the cooler door and put the milk jug in the cart. I then head to the cashier and groan upon seeing the long line. I grumble and stand at the very back of the line and pull out my phone "This is going to take a while." I comment as I scroll through the news to see if any crimes are occurring.

??? Pov:

as I'm waiting in the line I heard a man speak. "this is going to take a while." sighing I walk towards the requester as two others had left the line only me and some man in the line now. "hello!" the cashier said as she smiles as I set down the two items I held. "hello." I smiled back my voice sweet and gentle as I pull out a 5$ bill and hands it to her. "uh, will this be all?" I nod "and out of a 5, ok here's your change back" she hands me 2 ones and 30 cents." she looks at my eyes. "your eyes, there, beautiful" she starts talking a little louder. "there's the most beautiful shade of blue and gold, do you have contacts in??" I look up at her fully. "no ma'am, there naturally like this." the cashier gawked at me and started to laugh hasaricly. as I took my food and left quickly looking like a blur of white hue disappearing away.

Jay's P.O.V:

I skim through the news seeing that the city appears to be calm causing me to let out a small sigh. I look in front of me upon noting that the cashier has raised her voice and is complementing the person in front of me. I grunt in think it's nothing until the cashier mentions blue and gold eyes. I suddenly look up {Blue and gold eyes?...there's only one person who has eyes those colors}goes through my mind. Just as I am about to think about it some more, the cashier's laughter breaks my train of thought. The person in front of me then takes her items and leaves quickly, only a blur of white light can be seen. {Tch, you're overthinking it} I mentally tell myself as I put my items on the conveyor belt and pay for them. Shortly after, I walk outside with plenty of bags full of groceries "Man what a peaceful day." I say and start walking towards the bridge that separated Old Empire City from its rebuilt counterpart. I arrive eventually and sat down on the bridge railing while putting my stuff down "Maybe I should've gone with Toshinori and the others to Europe, but then again, I never really liked traveling, plus who would take care of the city?" I ask myself and let out a sigh "Oh well, time to hit the old blown up trail." I say as I pick up the groceries and begin walking home.

??? Pov:

I open the bag of chips. and slowly pop one in my mouth walking down the main road just wondering around the city. 'never realized how I missed small places.' I think as I finish the bag of Cheetos and folding it up into a small roll, shoving it into my ripped jeans pockets. opening the water and taking a chug here and there. still wandering around I pull my long curly bang in front of my face and the rest behind me. 'i really need to shower again my hairs getting grease' i fiddled with a small strand

Jay's P.O.V:

I continue to make my way home when suddenly, my phone off, notifying me that there is a crime ongoing in the middle of New Empire City. I sigh and enter Supersonic Bolt Mode and rush home to put my groceries away when I make my hero outfit appear and I rush towards the scene. As I make my way onto the scene, I notice that people seem to be running away from the incident, except for one person. I pass the person and continue to make my way towards the center of the city "Looks like Stone Edge freed himself...again" I say as I stop at the wreckage and see the huge stone man look at me. "X-Static, you fight me again?!" he exclaims. I sigh "Does prison not offer grammar lessons?" I asked causing him to start attacking me by launching several stone spikes towards me. I easily evade them all and starts attacking him by using my Proton Finger Beams. Stone Edge falls back a bit and growls while holding his face "How dare you! Why you attack face?!" he screams out. I smirk "You aren't getting smarter, pal, and I'm about to prove it!" I confidently exclaim as I prepare for battle.
