CHAPTER 3

So Jesse and Quintin were about to face off against one another with little indication of what to do Jesse thought to himself that he was at a major disadvantage as Quintin was on a whole other level and was probably the most powerful of the group but in order to have better control over his own power he needed the help of Quintin. Jesse said to Quintin through his mind “Okay I’ll take the first move but could you please keep my glasses safe I don’t want to end up breaking them” Quintin stayed quiet for a while Jesse thought that maybe he didn’t hear him so he was going to try again but before he could Dakota appeared from next to him grabbing the glasses off of his face and disappearing again Jesse didn’t question it the time was now to start this battle the time was now to prove himself.

Jesse started his hands that were by his side started to ignite and flames came out of them but the way that it was being used wasn’t just from his hands but all along his legs to so that he could prevent that area from burning instead of battling Quintin had a book just out of the way so that he could note down all of his friends skills and flaws, when Jesse came full speed at Quintin instead of dodging it he pushed him back with a wave of energy to blow him back, Jesse quickly recovered and without thinking he threw volleys of fire at him and none of which were even close to hitting him.

Jesse thought that if he kept on throwing attacks at him he would eventually hit him, Quintin had observed enough and knew that he wasn’t going to get any knew information unless he got on the offense so on the next barrage of fire balls Quintin stopped them in the middle of the assault and turned them back at Jesse, whilst Jesse now had to fend off the newly turned fireball he was running out of ideas on how to defeat him and then it came to him maybe he wasn’t just able to use fire as a projectile and he could use it in another way, Jesse had successfully avoided being hit by each of Quintin’s shots and was ready to take the offense with his newly formulated plan.

Jesse put his plan into action straight away by shooting another projectile of fire at him, Quintin caught it in the middle of the attack again but when he looked at Jesse both of his hands were on the ground and in the next second blue flames enveloped Quintin, Jesse wasn’t ready to see if he was okay yet because he knew that he had a way of preventing any harm to the other so whilst he had this window of time where Quintin wouldn’t be able to see he made a fire boosted charge towards him and Quintin took down his shield just in time for a rocket speeded fist straight to the face.

After that the smoke from Jesse’s fire had dissipated and Quintin was getting up from the ground the words he spoke after that were “Good job that was some fast thinking there I wouldn’t have been able to survive that if I didn’t take precaution earlier” Jesse then said “That was overwhelming so when do we start out training anyway?” Quintin sighed well we can start planning our combined attacks tomorrow for now I think we should get out of here because we just left burn marks all over the place and I think that is the teachers decide to pay attention for a second we will get in big trouble for this.

“Oh yeah” Jesse said, “I still need my glasses to see can I have them back?” Quintin stopped for a while and then Dakota came through a portal and handed them to him and said “Don’t worry not a scratch was left on them, also I have to commend you on your performance out there very unexpected indeed well I will be seeing you” Dakota then left and the portal disappeared. Jesse asked “So I’m guessing you have been using your power to talk to Dakota who has now got the power of portals” Quintin nodded and said “Is there anything else you need help clarifying because I can tell you anything you are missing from what has been going on” so Quintin proceeded to explain everything that has been happening to Jesse and what everyone’s power was to the best of his current information acquired.

Meanwhile with Elisa and Nathan, “COME ON WE HAVE TO TRY HARDER IF WE WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT OUR POWER IS” said Elisa, “But I don’t think we will find it out by sparring with each other” said Nathan, “What makes you think that?” Elisa said in a toned down voice, “Well it’s just it didn’t work the first five times what do you think will make it work now because we are even more tired out from out previous attempts how about we go with what we have been told and try to envision it happening?” said Nathan, “Well… I guess but what was mine again?” said Elisa, “Do you just have a death wish against me? It was your emotions don’t ask why try to imagine someone having their emotions changed” said Nathan, “Alright I will give it a try so you’re not feeling angry right now are you?” said Elisa, “No, wait what no don’t try it on me” said Nathan, “To late” said Elisa and then she envisioned Nathan becoming angry and out of nowhere a burst of red energy was emitting from Nathan, Elisa said “Well I guess we know what your power is now” as Nathan was destroying the area with singular punches it was clear that he was no longer in control of his own actions. Elisa envisioned his emotional state being happy and content it was successful but due to him being in such a state she used up the rest of her energy and passed out, Nathan also passed out due to over exerting himself.

Dakota came in and grabbed their bodies and took them through his portal on the other side of the portal was Dylan who was watching through a portal which was watching one of his friends training. The bell rang for the end of school and everyone was trying to find Dylan they asked Quintin and he said any moment now and he will be here, about ten seconds went by and he made his entrance through one of Dakota’s portals and said “You have probably been wanting to find me the only ones that were successfully able to get in contact with me were Dakota because he took me to his dimension called the grey space and Quintin was able to talk to me with his newly found power, I have been watching you all closely when you were learning about your powers I thought it would be best not to intervene as Quintin is the most helpful in this situation as my power would just cause more problems” Quintin spoke up and asked “What power do you even have anyway?” It was silent Dylan said in begrudgingly tone “What do you think I have?” Will said “We literally have no idea, that’s why we asked” in the next moment Dylan said “Fine you really want to know that bad look behind you” he turns around and doesn’t see anything and begins to say “Stop messing with me you tool there’s nothing” before he could finish his sentence he turned around and saw a tall figure that resembled that of an alien from an old movie, Will panicked and forcibly pushed himself away from it with his gravity manipulation, the alien then dissipated into a mist of shadows and Will said “What was that do you have to the power to summon aliens, DICK MOVE BRO DICK MOVE” Quintin who just had to see more of this asked Dylan “Can you demonstrate again on Jesse I have to see the limits of this power” so Dylan said “Very well sorry Jesse but your not going to like this” the next second a shadowy mist appeared at everyone’s feet and as it disappeared Jesse let out a scream, the floor was covered in rabbits. Quintin was observing this and seemed surprised to see the rabbits, “How could you Quintin I told you not to tell anybody” said Jesse, Quintin said “Impressive you can use the power of fears and form them into reality, I didn’t think that you would be able to use a power like that without prior knowledge of our fears, very interesting” Dylan said “Yeah I have the power of fear forming I can also put people into a state of having to face their worst fears” Naomi said “Hey I don’t mean to change the topic but do any of you know where Cat and Katie have gone off to?” Dakota said “I believe they went home after discovering their powers isn’t that right Dylan?” Dylan said “Yeah they did which brings me to my next point I think that we may need to be more prepared for the worst case scenario so I will let you all rest at home for today but tomorrow be ready and out the front by seven in the morning we all got that?” Quintin said “I will make sure to tell Katie and Cat they will be ready by tomorrow morning” Dylan said to everyone “Well I will see you tomorrow then” Dakota then went on to click his fingers and portals appeared under everyone and landed them out the front of their houses, Dylan said “Come on Dakota we have some serious planning to do” Dakota nodded as they walked into a portal leading to the greyspace.
