The Grand Spectral

New Powers

The Old Man
Even as old as I was I still was not ready to die, death is so uncertain. You knew where you were going but you never knew if you would see those you love again. There was so much I was still uncertain of, things I wanted to do. How could I let this happen. My powers were weakening but I could have easily bested the DRC in battle. If I was going to die either way, I might as well give that boy a chance to live. I took a deep breath after giving a deep reflection on my life choices.
"WITH THE POWER PUMPING THROUGH MY VEINS, I THE GRAND SPECTRAL HEREBY PASS ON MY GIFTS TO ANOTHER VESSEL SO THEY MAY NOW TAKE MY SPOT AS THE GRAND SPECTRAL"
Landon Sunstone
The old man was screaming something and levatating, his body turned to pure light. I was the scariest yet coolest thing I had ever seen. Then the light faded and the man was still. Light than started coming out of his body and into mine. I felt the entire universe's energy source pumping through my veins. I started levatating and broke free of my restaints.
"Get the patient now, restrain him!" shouted one of the DRC employees.
My eyes and veins turned fully white and were glowing. They tried to grab me but I screamed and set them on fire. I did not mean to do that, I was just scared. What had happened, had the man given me his powers. I was lost in thought when one of the employees grabbed me and brought me back down to the ground. I was then immediately swarmed by employees. I was punched,kicked, stabbed but it did not hurt. All I wanted to do was escape. I closed my eyes and screamed. everyone was instantly blasted back 20 feet. My skin started glowing and burning. Everyone started running but it was too late. I had let out a massive explosion then everything went black.

7 hours later
I woken up and it was now night time.
There was fire and debris everywhere. The air reached out and tried to choke me. My ears were ringing with pain. The sky was black either from it being night time or from the smoke. There was a huge rock on top of my leg. I reached out and turned it to ash. It was hard to breathe and I needed to leave this place. I already knew I caused this explosion, but how much was destroyed? I did not mean to explode I did not know how to use these new powers. I wanted to leave I obviously could not walk, there was too much debris. I closed my eyes and thought of anywhere else. I felt something on my back and opened my eyes to realize I was flying, not levatating I mean full on flying. I had grown what looked like angel wings made of pure light. I soon as I realized I fell back to the ground. I hit my arm on a boulder causing severe pain. It took a couple of tries with some injuries but eventually I had the hang of flying. I was now flying over the part of california where I had been. I now realized just how much I had destroyed. Hundreds of miles of destruction. I cried but the hot air from the blast made it instantly dry up. I was now above the area of smoke which was above the cloud zone. Even in this moment of sadness the midnight air felt amazing on my skin. After escaping the blast radius I was actually relaxed. I had traveled as far away from the blast as possible. I ended up somewhere in Virginia. Very very far away from California where I lived. Even though I had almost perfected flying the same was not true for landing. I had decided to stop over an empty field so I would not hurt anyone. I tried to levitate down, but it was easier said than done. I then tried facing the ground and flying right into it. I crashed into the ground causing a small crater to form. I was not happy about the landing, but at least I was on the ground and safe.My wings evaporated away. I was hungry so I decided to walk until I found somewhere to eat. The first place I seen was a bar. I knew I would not be let in if I asked, so I would make them let me in. When I tried to walk I was stopped by the bouncer. When he told me I could not come in I gave him a death stare, afterwards I was obviously let in. He was scared by me because I was the Grand Spectral now.

When I walked in the bar I received looks of fear, admiration, greed, and disgust. I ignored them all. I walked to the counter, I realized I definitely was not presentable because of the blast.
"You are not welcome here Spectral" said the bartender angrily.
"Wait, I do not want any trouble just food." I said "Please, I will do anything."
"Hey 089, serve our special guest here." yelled the bartender angrily. As if on cue a robot with 089 painted on it came up to me.
"Ahh a Spectral, what would you like to order?" asked the robot waiter
"You're so cool, we do not have robots in california."I said with me tearing up thinking of my hometown. "Umm, just a salad without cheese or croutons and tea I guess."
"Thank you for ordering at Heartshire Bar, have a lovely night". This put a smile on my face. It helped my horrible day I had been having. The bartender returned to me with my food.
"Look I am sorry, I did not mean to be so harsh" the bartender said."I am just scared of Spectrals, but you seem different".
"Thanks, I sort of just became a spectral...long story."I said
"I have time, oh how rude of me I am Quinn." said the bartender who I know knew as Quinn. I laughed
"Well Quinn, I am Landon and as you can see I am a grand Spectral."He laughed. Me an him talked until the bar closed, he actually ended up being pretty cool. I informed Quinn of my abduction and how I accidentally blew up the entire city and maybe more. I have always been the type of person to tell it like it is, even in a bad situation. I told Quinn I had no where to go and he offered to let me stay at the bar until I could find somewhere else to stay.
"Thanks Quinn, see you tomorrow." I said.He left and went home.
That night I cried and cried until my eyes went dry. I had no idea if my mom or any of my friends at home were alive. My thoughts were confirmed the next morning when a news report from all across the U.S which we now called Safe Haven was on.
Some female news reported stated "California now completely destroyed, with an additional 50 miles of land and sea destroyed in every direction. There are no survivors from the blast. Officials from DRC say that this is the result of a rising Spectral". I immdiately started crying again, my poor mother, the withered old man, even Eli. They all deserved better.I knew one thing for sure every person from the DRC would be sorry for even being born. With that I left the bar to start a new life.

What did youbthink if this chaper?What about Landon's new powers. Also thanks to the people who ready this. I know I only have 11 reads so far but I just joined and that is a lot of reads for me. Have a good day and I love you all so much. The support so far is giving me ideas to keep writing. I will try to update every week day and take breaks on the weekend.
