This is my second fic and my first in Needless.

Will be a long story.

EDIT: Improved and thx for the reviews!

Another long day at school. He fingered with his pen, spinning round and round and letting it carelessly fall once in a while. Around him, these people, these classmates, continue to chatter on mindlessly. Usual topics are about love and the current events. And by current events, he meant the Needless incursions.

His hand absent-mindedly reached for the locket tied firmly around his neck. A memento. For someone he has lost to them. Them. The Needless. His fist clenched in rage, he surpressed his anger in vain. His teachers always said he had anger management issues. They were right but he didn't give a damn.

"Fenris? You Okay?" A girl familiar to him called out as she laid a chair beside his for a seat. "Are you angry?"

Fortunately, Aldous can be angry with anybody but Kaysin. A girl who had transferred to Black Spot Saint Academy just 2 months ago. She always got his name wrong, calling his Fenris, but he never minded. She was one of the few, or maybe the only one, who listened to him and her words never failed to calm him down a notch. "Nothing, just thinking about the Needless attacks. Looking at how many they have killed, you can't really believe why so many here would actually support them. Are they mad?"

"Maybe they see the Needless as hope. You do know about the corruption here. Propaganda, radios, even the Net has been choked full of bad mouthing of the Needless. Too full."

"It ain't propaganda if it ain't false. Needless are vicious no matter what. They deserve to die. All of them with no exceptions"

"So if I were a Needless, would you kill me?" Aldous gawked. He realized he had been trapped again by her and quickly took back his words.

"I mean, you're different, Kay." "How different, Mr Fen?"

Aldous, caught at a loss of words, kept quiet for now. Personally, he hated Needless for their power. Their almightiness. Once, his entire family were terrorized by a Needless. He remembered his dad's words in his mind:

Know this son. Remember how 'great power comes great responsibility'. Well a Needless doesn't follow that.

A load of wolfs trying to hide in the sheep's clothing of supposed justice, the Needless. The devastation they caused in the most recent attacks is unforgivable. "So if you hate them so much, tell me who you hate the most?" Kaysin popped a question.

"Only one in particular. Adam Blade…their strongest."

"Why?"

"Why? Because he's a monster damn it! He is said to have took down two whole blocks in a single blow and I've heard that he had personally ravaged over 200 people in the recent atatck. Some say he even humiliated several girls. So the guy is both a monster and a pedophile, with no sense of respect."

"That's what you heard. Have you met him?"

"If I met him, I'll be dead. And I ain't. So, no. Can we talk about something else?"

"What about? Love, like others, or what?"

"No love, thank you. I've listened one too many love tragedies, you expert anti-Cupid." They laughed at his joke as the bell rang signaling the end of school. The tense atmosphere had dispersed with their talk and they continued on while they exit the building. "You going home on your own?" Aldous inquired as they walked down to the school square, a large cement assembly place.

"Yep. But I can see you…" Rumble….

Aldous and Kay looked in shock, along with many others as the ground began to split. And by split, it didn't physically split. It was like someone created a giant whirlpool of stone. But the hole itself seemed to appear in and out, as if the fabric of space itself was being tampered with. And when the hole appeared, a group of armored figures appeared from within. Their steps disturbed the whirlpool, or rather, the manipulated space, creating pool-like ripples. Once through, the figure on the left-most, a short girl with wavy yellow hair, relaxed her fist and the square returned to its normal form. A Needless.

"Kusaki. Any signal of Needless here?" The tallest one, cloaked, in the group's fore spoke out to his supposed subordinate, a stubby bespectacled engineer wielding an unusual scanner.

"Yes we have comfirmation."

"What is the meaning of this?" The school's principal rushed up to the group, his clothes as fine as ever. "Why has Simeon stepped in here?" He was extremely hasty, even desperate, as his medium form shivered in the group's presence.

Aldous stood watching. "Simeon? The pharmaceutical group in power. Impossible! They have a Needless! It can't be!" Thoughts race through his mind as the principal continued to discuss with the group.

"….you can't do this. It's not good for publicity. Maybe you can do this after…."

"If you won't cooperate, move out the way..." The tall man gestured to his right-hand man and the man removed his hood, revealing a heavily scarred bald head with vicious eyes. Really vicious eyes. The scarred one still towered the principal and gave him a little push.

The principal flew out of the way, into the wall nearest Aldous and Kaysin. Aldous covered Kaysin from the debris, as the mangled body of his former principal lied in three pieces, all embedded in the wall. "Another one! And they killed our principal. Why? Isn't Simeon the good guys?" Aldous glared at the tall man and witness the eyes hidden under the hood. A deep blood-red. One strikingly similar to the one he hates the most. Adam Blade.

"So which child is the Needless?" The tall one inquired his busy engineer and the scanner suddenly pointed at Aldous and Kaysin some distance away from them. It gave a shrill "deeee".

"Which one?" "The girl, definitely that girl with the yellow hair." Aldous, eyes-widened, glanced at the one he was covering. Kaysin is a Needless? It can't be! He had known her for so long and has never seen her use powers at all. If she was a Needless, he would have known. Besides the school itself practises a strict no-Needless policy. If a Needless was found, they would hand it over to the authorities by now. She couldn't be a Needless. The ground shook as Aldous noticed the scarred man approach them, his stature threatening. "...Fenris...help...me. I'm…..not…..a…..Needless…" Kaysin mumbled in fear as she clung on to him. Her eyes were teary and her teeth was chattering away.

"I can't let them hurt her." Aldous resolved. Once he noticed that Blade is among them, he knew what was going on. These are actually not Simeon operatives. These are Needless rebels as a disguise. Adam Blade is among them. And it explains the presence of Needless and the murder of the principal. Most importantly, he can't let them touch Kaysin. "STOP!" Aldous rushed himself at the scarred one. But it was futile. The man was way stronger than him. With a hand, he grabbed Aldous by the collar before throwing t

"Argh!" He felt himself being thrown to one side as the scarred one barely even acknowledged him. The Needless adanced towards Kay with slow deliberate steps. "No…..don't….touch….her…."Aldous murmured as he struggled up, his chest hurting from the impact and his breath knocked out of him.

No,the man was almost upon her. he could kill her. He must stop him. He needs power. He needs power to stop them. The power to stop Needless.

He needs to be Needless.

With that thought, Aldous immediately felt something rush into him and his mind became to click, like a well-oiled machine. It took hold and he noticed that he no longer could understand what he was doing. Numerous concepts, energy, heat, transmission, absorption came to him all at once. If he was himself, he would have been overwhelmed. But he is not himself. At the same time, the floor around him began to have a layer of spreading ice and the air began to fill with thick mist. "What the hell?" The scarred one turned to Aldous, sensing the sudden temperature drop. "You're the Needless!"

"Kusaki!" The tall one gasped. "I'm not getting any readings from him. The scanner is not picking any fragment energy. He shouldn't be… He couldn't be…" The enginner double-checked his equipment again and again.

"Fenris….?" Kaysin managed to speak.

But he couldn't hear her. In his mind, he could feel something building up inside him. Got to channel it somewhere. Somewhere. But where? His hand. As naturally as if he had done this move thousands of times, Aldous raised his clenched fist, straightened his arm and pointed it at the scarred one.

Energy lines began forming around his entire forearm and he watched, his mind calmly working its way to control the build-up. His fist, its vessels protruding and visisble began to glow a white-bright. He could feel the pressure he was exerting behind him, as a draft could be heard, and recognised the flow of the wind running from this concentration of energy. The ice continued to spread and even take shape, forming ice crystals everywhere except in front of him.

Inside his heart, he could feel his rage build, both choking him and motivating him. Right now, anger management no longer mattered and he allowed himself to dwell in this blinding ira. His rage at the Needless. His rage at the destruction. His rage at this world.

His rage at himself. Target locked.
