30: Chase
The trio dove towards the city. Sparx slowed down his momentum by forcing his feet on the wall. The skid marks he caused were discharging small bits of electricity. He yelled a cry of joy as they all fell. Wing looked at Sparx, “So what’s the plan, boss?” Sparx looked at both of them and said, “I’m going after Reyn, you guys back me up if others come.” They both...
29: Fuck
Sparx immediately sprinted back to his home. Wing found the strength in him to ignore the pain in his wing to pick up Spirit and take to the air with one great flap of his wings. Instead of taking the conventional route home, they both zig-zagged through the alleys of the city to get there faster. Once they would make it to the V.E.S.P. government building, it would be a straight shot to their...
28: Realization
Sparx stared at his home. He wondered why it pointed at it. Or what it knows…
Wing was trudging through the snow to the city center. How does Sparx do it, he thought as he walked. “Wing!” He turned and saw Spirit staggering his way. He looked at her legs and saw three large incisions on each thigh. “Emily!!” She tried to run his way, but fell in the snow. Wing ran...
27: Encounter II
The shadow immediately lunged for Sparx before he could say one of his witty remarks. What was strange about it’s movement was that it’s legs seemed to have melted into a pool of darkness, then slithers quickly wherever there is no light. It struck Sparx across his face, then punched him in the stomach. Sparx bent over to catch his breath, but the shadow kneed him in his stomach once...
26: Brother
Wing sped towards the ice-cold south part of Velah City. What he saw shocked him. The streets were paved with ice, the buildings were covered in snow, and it seemed as though civilians and the parked vehicles were frozen solid. But what was weird were the civilians. They looked like they were trying to run from something. Or someone.
Wing saw a person standing in the middle of the street. He...
25: Roth
Spike and Rush both turned to the voice. Spirit walked out from behind the bins with claws bared. “I think I recall telling both of you that if I saw you guys again,” she closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them, revealing her eyes that are now pitch black with yellow pupils, “I would kill you both.” Spike laughed, “A familiar face! Haha I’ve been meaning...
24: Separate
It took a few minutes for Sparx to get up. Wing and Spirit were outside on the roof staring out into the city. “Get up”, Wing yelled. He threw a rock at Sparx and it landed on his head. He tumbled off the couch and staggered to where they were standing. Once he saw the city, he straightened up.
The city was under terror. To the north, the rich side, there was something zooming all...
23: Shit
“I just talked with Fiego”, Sparx told Wing. “What!”, he said almost too loudly. Luckily, Reyn and Spirit were out again. Wing put down his soda, “Why didn’t you tell me? I could have helped you out”, he asked. “I had to do it myself. And wouldn’t have helped if you came either, he ran at the last second”, Sparx sounded a little down....
15: Cold
Sparx blasted his usual current before touching ground. He did his forward flip and started walking to Market in East. He always has the same route in his head: keep heading east while passing through Capital Center. Sparx loves to pass through the uptight center of Velah City. He listens to the corporate and politician’s critiques and judgements while Sparx laughs his soul away.
“Hey! Are you...
22: Delay
The time for Sparx’s decision had come. He decided it would be best for everyone that they wouldn’t know about the talk he had with Fiego. So on the fifth month, he ran to the east warehouse Fiego told him to be at.
Once he arrived, Sparx started to hesitate. His heart started to beat faster than usual. He was scared, though he never liked to admit it. So he did what he does best,...
21: Chat
The trio decided to teach Reyn the basics of their life for the next month. Wing would tell her whether to fight or run, depending on the situation. Sparx would teach her how to fight. Spirit would tell her the facts that run Velah City’s hypocritical society. They also decided that, for her own safety, Reyn would not be allowed to venture by herself unless someone were to go with her.
A...
20: Assimilate
“First thing….” Sparx turned to Wing, “what’s first?” “In order for her to not get caught,” Spirit started, “she has to blend in with the crowd. First thing is clothes. She’ll have to borrow some of mine until we buy some more, since we have enough money now.” She left the room with Reyn to get some old clothes.
...
19: Help
They all stood silently for the second time this week. Sparx’s mind was racing with all the events that had happened. Reyn just sat there, still shaking. “I was going to tell you guys,” she said, “but you beat me to it.” Wing couldn’t take it anymore. “Why does your own brother hate you? It bullshit.” Reyn replied with “he doesn’t hate...
18: Shock
“All that aside”, Sparx said while recovering, “I have stuff to tell you guys.” Spirit sat on the couch with Reyn, while Wing stood in the entrance next to Sparx while wiping his eyes from laughing. “Have you guys ever realized we have not seen a freeq since.. “, he hesitated, ” …that night?” Reyn looked confused, and also looked like she was...
17: Ha
After a short friendly argument with the store owner, Sparx went home with empty pockets. Too much action in one day, he thought as he ran towards the building. Instead of taking the stairs, Sparx came up with a better idea. Instead of slowing down, he sped up. At the last second, Sparx shifted his velocity upwards by stepping on the building’s wall and pushing himself up. He did this with...
16: Heat
Sparx walked out in the scorching heat with a bag of food. He couldn’t wait to get home and tell the rest about what happened. Just as he was about to run back, a fireball stopped him in his tracks. The shock from this made him drop the bag. Now he got a little annoyed. That was perfectly good artificial food that was wasted.
The city’s meat supply is almost extinct. There are very...
14: Guest
Once they got home, the clouds were almost their usual shade of grey. Sparx snuck to the top the old-fashioned way (stairs). Because of this, they both killed a few hours time jumping broken staircases, and if not jumping, running their way to the top.
When they made it, the eastern border started becoming brighter. “Oh shit,” Sparx said, “I had food duty yesterday.” He...
13: Hello
An almost cloudless night fell. After his pointless walk, Sparx had come home to hope the lovers were done wrestling. Seeing the door close and hearing silence gave him a sense of peace. Since it was such a rare night, Sparx walked out on the roof and sat on the edge.
He looked down and saw the city. Whenever a night like this came along, the city itself became an artificial sun. Humans would...
12: Acceptance (duh)
The tension in the room could have been cut with a fork. It was so quiet, everyone’s thoughts were audible.
Sparx couldn’t tell what Wing was feeling because his hair was covering his eyes while he was looking down. Spirit was rubbing her teary eyes. Everyone was startled when Wing started saying, “So you could have stopped that thing we just fought?” Spirit kept her eyes...
11: Impossible
So let me catch up in what had happened in the past few minutes. First of all, I got these demonic abilities from Necro, the messenger from Hell. I killed my parents and ran off. He found me and said that I would live my life soulless now. I challenged him on a double-or-nothing battle. But if were to win, and a really big IF, Necro would trade his own soul for mine and keep his end of the...
10: Risk
What else could I think or say other than nothing? I was so stunned after the slaughter that I almost passed out when he said that. “W-why? That wasn’t part of our deal, was it?” He laughed (more like coughed his heart out). “As usual, you humans refuse to at least glimpse at some very important information that could very well decide your life.” I was confused and I...
9: Memories
When he returned home, Sparx was met with uneasy gazes from his comrades. “Sparx, we need to talk”, Wing muttered. “Alright, I’ll leave you two alone”, he replied. Just as he was about to leave, Spirit called him back and said that it was for both his and Wing’s ears. “Oh, okay”, Sparx sat down in front of them. “What about?” Spirit...
8: Encounter
He stared at the menacing creature. It had all the same features as Sparx, except everything was shaded in. And it’s eyes, everything about them was like an omen. It had no pupils and were bleached white.
Sparx examined his shady reflection with awe. After close study, he suddenly crouched, expecting it to lunge at him. “What are you”, Sparx asked. It gave no response except...
7: Forward
Years passed, and the crew found a new home on top of a 50-story abandoned building. No one spoke of what happened on that fateful day, although Spirit occasionally asked what happened after she blacked out. Sparx and Wing decided to keep it a secret.
Sparx grew into his adolescent body fully; his messy jet-black hair standing wherever it can stand, his arms and legs still bony but powerful and...
6: What
Spirit came out of the bushes looking like she saw a ghost. “Emily, get back,” Wing struggled to say. She was paler than usual, and her eyeballs were red and pupil black. All Spirit did was turn towards Spike and Rush and pointed to them. Not with a finger. With a barb that replaced her finger. “You guys would be wise to leave,” she uttered. “And if we dont,”...
5: First Fight
“The Home’s on fire!” That’s all that Sparx’s mind echoed as he and Wing raced home. “Where’s Spirit?” Sparx yelled through the wind. Wing replied, “She went home to take care of some business. She said she would meet us there.”
As they reached home, Sparx couldn’t help but notice the feeling of being watched. He looked up at a...
4: First Flight
Sparx was destroying his food when a slightly older child went up to him and said, “Damn kid, you eat like a pro” he chuckled. Embarassed, Sparx looked down and apologized. “Hey you dont have to say sorry bro, its cool.” He smiled, ” The names Wing, the fastest Avia [Flyt] there ever were.” Sparx looked up at and studied Wing. He was about not much taller than...
3: Origin
Sparx, along with the other kids, was not an average human child. His kind were called “freeqs” obviously for their supernatural abilities and their capability to stop aging in their adolescent to their late 10’s. There were different types, Flytes, Breakers, Infernoes, etc. They get these abilities through hereditary genes, but few have gained them through experiencing a very...
2: Begin
Sparx was, is, and always will be an orphan. His father, he heard, was a great man. His mother…
He was left on the doorstep of “Light Futures Orphanariam For The Gifted” by another pair of foster parents. It was a dark and rainy night, like usual. The old woman opened the door to the sound of laughter. “Oh my, you poor thing. Lets get you in here and out of the...
1: Welcome
Sparx doesnt have what you would call a normal life. He doesnt wake up to a mother or father, to the smell of eggs and bacon, the sounds of birds chirping happily. He wakes up through the wind whistling through his spiky jet-black hair. The sounds of sirens and gunshots in the air cloud his mind. For a skinny kid wearing the only thing he has in his possession, hes the only one who has the right...
