Note: this is my first story so don't be surprised when there is a mess up or a sentence that doesn't quite make sense. With that being said, enjoy my story "The Crystal Squad"

Chapter 1: "Your somewhere starts today"

5:27...5:28...5:29...

"And at 6:10 we will start Roulas Roses" *click*

At that exact moment, Chrys snacked the snooze button on his alarm clock. Dammit, is it 5:30 all ready?" He thought. He then reached over and twisted his bedside lamp on. He clenched his eyes closed before forcing them to stare at the bright substance. Time to start a new day he groggily thought as he grabbed his towel to start his morning routine. He walked up to the mirror and wiped off the condensation, half expecting the teen looking back at him to look more awake than he was. I guess going to sleep at 10 rather than 1 wasn't all that helpful after all he thought to himself.

He then proceeded through the same process he had been doing for the past 5 years: wake up, shower, get dressed, brush, and saunter downstairs. He then remembered his mom telling him that she couldn't take him to the school with her today and that he would have to ride his bike. He let out a small groan before heading to the garage. As he opened the garage door he realized just how much junk was in the garage. Aren't people supposed to store cars in a garage he thought. He grabbed his bike and started pedaling down the street. He had a long journey ahead of him to the school.

Maybe I should get donuts for mom Chrys thought with a slight smile. He stopped by the new Krispy Kreme and got a bag which he shoved into his bag. As he headed towards his bike, he saw a man in a dark green jacket undo the lock on it.

"Hey!" Chrys yelled. At that moment, the man undid the bike lock and started running with the bike. "Get back here!" As the two ran, both failed to notice the small light in the sky gradually getting closer to the both of them. It wasn't untill it closer in view that Chrys and the man noticed it.

"What is that?" Chrys asked no one. As the chase continued he noticed that it was heading downward... directly towards him! He froze in place. He didn't know what to do. At this point both the man and Chrys were stopped and staring at the thing. By the time Chrys came to his senses it was to late.

"AGHHH!" He screamed in pain as the thing crashed into his chest. The thing burrowed itself into his chest so much so that it stuck halfway out of him. Chrys was almost immediately rendered unconscious as he he was shot into the pavement. After a few minutes Chrys struggled up out of the crater made by th impact of the thing. Upon closer inspection, the thing looked to be some sort of gem. It had a smooth shiny exterior and gave of an orange glow.

"Ughh...what happened?" Chrys asked as he got up in the miniature crater he made, still unknowing of the rock protruding from his chest.

"Uhhh, you want me to call n' ambulance or somethin" the guy wearing the green jacket asked.

"No, I want my bike back!" Chrys said.

"All yours kid. I ain't gonna steal from you after what just happened to ya." The guy said back and started to walk off. Chrys was cunfosed until he looked at his chest.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" He shouted in shock. He didn't know what to think. He was just hit my a rock the size of his torso, it buried deep into his chest, and yet he was completely fine with no scratches other than the dirt on his face. He should not be alive right now. What exactly was he hit with?!

He then noticed the giant hole in his sweatshirt. Crap. What was he going to do? He had a ComdeySportz shirt but that would make it look like he had... he had...boobs he thought with an embarrassed blush. What am I gonna do? He panicked. Wait, what if I use my backpack to cover it up. He the proceeded to put the backpack over his chest. I guess it's better then nothing. He then checked his watch. 7:05. "CRAP!"

He booked it over to school with only 2 minutes to spare. He burst into the theatre hallway to drop off the doughnut he got for his mom. He then proceeded to run at full speed to algebra II with no time to spare.

The rest of the day up to lunch went smoothly enough. He had a substitute in chemistry so he could keep the backpack over his chest. He wasn't doing anything in band so he was fine there. And luckily enough, he also had a sub in his ASL II class.

But then lunch rolled around.

"What's with the backpack?" Alex, Chrys' best friend asked.

"Uh... I just felt like wearing it" Chrys lied with a nervous smile.

"I'm not convinced." Alex said with a suspicious look on his face. "What's under the backpack?"

"N-nothing." Chrys stuttered out.

Alex pushed the backpack out of the way to reveal the bright orange gem. He gasped in shock as he saw the thing and Chrys quickly covered it back up and hushed Alex. Afeter a few moments Alex opened his mouth to speak again.

"What is that?" He asked with a slight stern tone

"To be honest I'm not sure. Today when I was on my way to school and then this thing just crashes into me." Chrys explained. Alex's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Can it do anything cool?" Alex excitedly asked.

"I don't know, but it has been giving off a glow and my palms and feet have burned slightly since it hit me this morning." Chrys said

"It's decided, we are going to meet in the practice marching field to test out the thing!" Alex exclaimed.

After school

Chrys walked out to the field where Alex was waiting with a couple of devices sticking out of his backpack. Chrys was wearing the same thing he was wearing during the day, minus the sweatshirt.

"Alright! Let's get this party started!" Alex said, a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Alex, what exactly are we going to do?" Chrys questioned nervously.

"We're going to test your new power of course!" He replied. "I have all the equipment to test your ability see what you can do. Speaking of which, punch this." He said while pulling out a small punching bag with some wires hanging out the back. Upon closer inspection, the bag looked to be hooked up to Alex's... Switch?

"Alex, why is the punching bag hooked up to your video game?" Chrys said with furrowed brows.

"That doesn't matter right now! Hit the bag!" Alex said. Chrys shrugged his shoulders and pulled back his arm. He then threw the punch as hard as he could at the bag. Alex looked at the screen like he wasn't satisfied with the results. "Looks like your power doesn't effect your physical attack. Alright nest I want to see if you got any faster."

Alex directed him to the end zone to start the run. Then he sat down relatively far away and pulled out a speed gun. "Go!" He shouted. Chrys took off as fast as he could to the other end zone. Alex activated the speed gun and char led the results. "7.84 mph at full speed... looks like it isn't speed related either." Chrys jogged back over and realized something.

"I'm not tired!" He exclaimed. " I figured I'd be out of breath but I'm perfectly fine and don't feel winded!"

"Huh." Alex said. "Judging by the size of that thing, it must've collided with your rib cage and hit most of your vital organ. That could only mean that the thing somehow fused with your body and is now regulating your body at an excellerated rate." All Chrys could do was cock his head. He didn't exactly understand all the science stuff coming out of Alex's mouth.

"Alright! Next test! I wanna see if you can fly. We'll start on the ground." Alex said. "Just try and see if you can float upward or propel your self off the ground. Take off your shoes so it doesn't hinder your ability if you have it.

To be honest, Chrys looked a little dumb with the face he was making and imagining he could fly. Nothing happened of course, but Alex had another idea. "Climbed up that light post." He said

Chrys hesitated but went through with it and climbed up it. He carefully stood up on top of the post and shook nervously as the wind slightly breezed against the post.

"A-are you s-sure this is a g-g-good idea?" He said with an obvious nervous manner. He didn't expect what came next: Alex shook the post, knocking him off balance and he fell off the post.

"AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh...ah?" Chrys screamed but then realized he should've hit the ground by the time he was done. He opened his eyes and unclenches his teeth before his mouth dropped in awe. Two beams of what he could only assume were light were keeping him from reaching a rather painful landing. He then thought about lowering the output and he floated closer to the ground before landing. Alex's eyes lit up brighter than the sun.

"That's so cool!!!" He yelled. "Try it again but try using it to push you off the ground." Chrys tried it and was surprised at how easy it was to activate it this time. He slowly and shakily pushed off the ground until he was about 5 feet in the air. He let off a nervous laughter before trying to push off farther.

"Wow! I can see the top of the school from up here!" Chrys shouted down to Alex before landing in a somewhat flashy manner.

"All right, if you can shoot it out of your feet then it's not unlikely that you can shoot it out of your hands. Try it out." Alex said.

Chrys felt something pushing out of his hands and then a beam of light launched out of his hand. Chrys gazed in awe for a few seconds before feeling a burning sensation in the spot we're He fired off the beam and pulled back his hand reflexively and looking at it. There was a small, nearly unnoticeable circle in his palm where he fired off the beam.

"Woah!" Alex exclaimed. "Wait a second wait a second!" He yelled as he pulled out an empty water bottle from his bag. "Try shooting that!" He tossed in the air and Chrys activated the hand beam at the bottle. When he turned it off again the bottle was very clearly gone and only ash remained.

"That's so cool!" Alex yelled. "Alright one more test." He said as he reached to pull something out of his backpack. Chrys was shocked to see a pocket knife come out of the bag, but decided not to move. Alex then without hesitation swung the knife at Chrys' cheek.

"Ow! What the hell!" Chrys yelled in anger as he went to put his hand over his wound, only to be surprised by the fact that no blood came out. Alex pulled out his phone and brought it to the camera to show him his face. The wound was fading away and resealing itself back up. "What in the name of..."

"Woah, you have regeneration powers too!" Alex exclaimed. "Alright I know I said the last test was the last but I want to try one more, try making something." Chrys then closed his eyes and imagined a wall in front of him. Alex gasped which made Chrys open his eyes. Chrys was startled to see a wall made of the same material as the rock in his chest. It had the same glow as the gem did.

"Can you get rid of it?" Alex asked, to which Chrys somehow made it poof into an orange dusty powder.

"What if you tried the same trick but tried to pull it out of your chest? Ooh! Ooh! Pull out a sword!" Alex said with enthusiasm. Chrys reaches toward the gem and imagined pulling out a sword from his chest. He knew it was working when he felt a handle form in his hand and then yanked from that handle, pulling out a katana style sword. Chrys made it poof like the wall and just stood there in disbelief as he realized all the things he just did.

"Wow, with that power, you could be a superhero!" Alex said excitedly before the smile faded from his face. "Oh wait, due to us somehow not having quirks like the rest of the world, Heroes are outlawed... But if you could go to U.A... oh wait, you'd need a lot of money to do that. Well then it looks like it's vigilantism for you buddy." Alex said as the smile returned to his face.

"Woah, woah, woah! Who said I was gonna be a hero?" Chrys said back.

"Well, I just figured since you admired the heroes of the world so much that you would try to become one yourself.." Alex said in a sheepish manner.

Chrys spent some time pondering that. There were upsides and downsides to trying to become a hero in America. If he try to become a hero, he would suffer through many hardships, but he would make his world a better place. If chose not to, nothing would change. He made up his mind.

"You know what? I'll do it. We have gone through to much to pass an opportunity for change. I'll do it, but I can't do it alone. Alex, I need your help." Chrys said with a determined expression resting on his face, his hand held out to Alex. Alex took it with no hesitation. "Now, can we do something about this rock in my chest. I can't go around in public like this."

Alex dug through his backpack and pulled out a small, flat, circular price of technology and tossed it at the gem. The gem then began to disappear and leave his chest exposed.

"That's a piece of technology that is been working on for a while. It can hide and remove the physical properties of something. I call it a stealth dot." Alex said with a proud expression on his face. Chrys was about to question why he would have something like this, but decided it was to convenient to pass up. He looked forward with a determined expression.

And thus began the legacy of the Crystal Squad.

Authors Notes:

That was less difficult than I anticipated. Now I'm hyped to do more and hope you guys are hyped too. Also, the U.A. thing is not a coincidence. This story and another story will both be related to it. Hope you all enjoy this in the future
