JOHN P.O.V.

I was going home after school as usual on a Friday: running as fast as I can to get home, nimbly dodging obstacles. Today a new kid had been introduced to the class. His name was Greg. As soon as I got outside the school, I saw him get ganged up on by the 3 school bullies.

"Come on man I didn't do anything to you, leave me alone." He said nervously.

"You didn't pay up, that's good enough for me." The leader replied.

"How was I supposed to know? I just got here!"

"Well now you know for next time."

These three were seniors so they were 3 years older than me or him. The leader was Bruce. He was the brains. The other 2 were the brothers Kyle and jack. They were the muscle. Bruce raised his fist to punch him, and that's when I started to intervene.

"Hey! Pick on someone your own size!"

The 3 laughed at me.

"Who? You? Your 3 years-" I interrupted him by sprinting at him and punching him in the stomach, winding him. Not letting him recover, I kneed him in the face. Then I kicked him 3 times in the face and stomach while he was down. I stared at the other 2 with my best 'test me' face. The brothers weren't looking at me however, they were staring at Bruce. He had a bloody nose, which was bent far from natural. He curled into Fetal position. They both noticed my death glare and ran as fast as they could away from me. Just then, a teacher came out, saw the damage, and called the police right away. Before Greg could thank me I was whisked into the principal's office. 5 Minutes later, the police and an ambulance arrived for Bruce. The police decided to interrogate me in the office.

"Kid," the first police officer said "Do you have any idea what you've done?"

"Of course." I said "I won. For me and all of his victims." The 3 police officers, staff and my mom and step dad were present when I said this, and ALL of them stared at me as if I was crazy. None of them spoke so I continued.

"You know, I didn't even have to switch personalities. Wouldn't have been worth the effort. And hell, if I wasn't going to 'die' as the officials are going to call it as soon as I step out of this school, then I would just sit here quietly, waiting for my punishment." I smirked as my eyes changed from ocean blue to sickly yellow to purple to blue again. They openly gaped.

"I wasn't kidding. I do have other personalities. Now if you'll excuse me, my 'death' awaits." I chuckled at the word death. If anything, it was a new life.

"Kid" the police officer called, "I don't know who you think you are, but if you think you are leaving after your 'confession' then you are sadly mistaken."

All I said was "Checkmate"

"What?" Was his smart reply.

"Aw, I thought you were the smart ones. You guys know, checkmate? Where no matter what you do, you always lose? That's what's happening now. I know what's going to happen. You are going to try to take me to an insane asylum, honestly, if I were you I would take myself to the crazy house, but that can't happen because I would be leaving. If you were to bring the asylum here, 3 things would happen: 1 no school, 2 news reporters would be here in less than 24 hours, and finally, and my personal favorite, she will go to our agreed contingency plan. Before I explain who 'she' is, I will tell you how we met. 2 weeks ago, today actually, I was coming from school, and I found this purple cube no bigger than that tissue box." I pointed to a box on the principal's desk.

"Anyway, when I went to touch it, I got sucked into it. When I woke up, I met her. I had been accidentally transported to the main hall of her palace just as she was walking in. After a very uncomfortable explanation and a lot of pain, we became friends. Then we struck a deal, if I left this world permanently, then I would be allowed to gaurd her and become a captain. I agreed. We settled on this day. I said that if I wasn't there by 4:00 pm, to send a task force of her best men, her elites. I went back the next day to give them the necessary information and equipment. In turn I was given part of the stock pile. Not much, just a 9 mm. handgun."

At the mention of the handgun, the officers pulled their Tasers on me and the others backed up significantly. It was kind of amusing since I didn't have it on me. I stared at them nonchalant then glanced at my watch. 3:45, perfect.

"Would you like me to tell you her name?" I asked.

"Sure." My mom answered me. Everyone was on edge.

"Her name was Cupa."

CUPA P.O.V

It was 3:55 by their time and my men were waiting for the signal to ignite the portal. I could tell that it was 3:55 because he gave me a watch to know when to start. I addressed my elites. They had guns as John called them. AK-47s, MP5s and M9 side arms. A couple had missile launchers just in case. They all had silencers attached. They had been briefed on the situation. They were to capture a boy by the name of John Faber. The callsign they were supposed to relay was 'explosive'. The counter-callsign was 'TNT'. However, if things got out of hand, he would say, blow it, which meant they had been discovered and they would blow the gas bombs. John had given her a map of the school and likely where the barriers would be. He also gave her escape routes. They were only to use the guns if shot at first. The difference between the elites and my other minions was that they had human like appearance. With all of their shapes instead of blocks, they were easily stronger than all of my other minions. However, something else made them perfect. Since they were human-ish, they could blend in. 4:00 and he hasn't shown. Time for plan B.

JOHN P.O.V.

In the previous 15 minutes, I had been strapped down to a wooden school chair and was waiting for the mental doctor to arrive. Just as a precaution, two police officers armed with handguns had been posted outside my door. As previously predicted, news reporters were dispatched to the school immediately. I had given Cupa the exact coordinates so the portal would be on the roof. I was expecting her any minute. Suddenly, two men in military outfits with creepers on them burst through the window on my right.

"Explosive!" One said. That was my cue.

"TNT" I replied. He cut off my bonds and I stood up. "Two guards by the door. Non - lethal take down only."

"Yes sir." They replied.

After the guards were taken care of, the leader of the 2 addressed a radio headset.

"Ma'am, we have him. Getting to extract now. Understood. Retrieval 1 out."

? P.O.V.

I watched the scene unfold through the view screen. The appearance of the armed men and his commanding them. Then he looked at the camera while his men disposed of the guards.

"To the person watching this, the reporters will want this. And to anyone else, I warned you, I am certainly crazy. No need for Amber alert, this isn't kidnapping, this is liberation. Plus, you would never find me anyway." He gave a crooked smile. He was given an M9 with silencer attached and he shot the camera. All we had now was audio.

"Let's move sir, she has been eagerly awaiting your arrival. In fact, she is on the roof herself." One of his men said.

"Well then," he replied. "Let's not keep the lady waiting."

He was right, the reporters would want this. I just hope this is never aired on TV…
