I've finally decided to start this story! Dina's New Life is officially ready for me to start on!
Now, if you read the final alternate ending, you'll know that Dina's friends are gone for good in this story. So now she has to make new friends. I am accepting OC's for Dina's friends! I have a few suggestions already, but more would still be appreciated. They can be for friends or enemies, so send in suggestions!
In this story, it's about a month later, and Dina is going back to school. (I didn't mention it, but this chapter will say that the rest of the story was during summer break. It was kind of implied by the fact that she's only 16, though.) How will her classmates react to everything that happened to her? Who will she meet along the way? Read to find out!
Let the story begin!
Chapter 1: Back to School
It's my first day of 10th grade. Unfortunately, I lost all my friends over summer break. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to find new friends. There are plenty of people who know me, but most of them aren't very nice. Maybe one of the new kids will accept me for who I am. (Even though I have a robotic leg, enhanced strength, and powers.) I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
I went to the office so I could get my schedule. As expected, the staff asked a bunch of questions about my leg. I was wearing shorts because of the weather, so everyone was able to see my robotic leg.
This could get annoying. I thought.
I decided to go to my first class early. I did this to avoid as much unnecessary attention as possible.
But, of course, that was impossible.
On my way there, a group of people that don't like me decided to block my path.
"Get out of my way!" I said. I was getting annoyed with people like them.
They laughed at me. "Try and make us!" one of them said.
An evil grin crossed my face. "Okay." I said. I put down my books and raised my hand to my side. I created a few electric arcs in my hand as a threat.
"What?!" the leader of the group said in shock. He started to back away. "Y-you can control electricity?!"
I nodded. "And if you don't move, I'll attack you with it!" I said.
"You wouldn't dare!" one shouted.
"Do you want to take that chance?" I asked in a threatening tone.
"You don't scare me!" he said.
"Well then maybe this will!" I said. I created an electric sword.
"Oh, no… Run!" he said. They all ran away. I reabsorbed the energy of the sword, then I walked to my class. I was right outside the room when I heard something.
"Hey!" someone said from behind me.
"Who-?" I said, surprised. I turned around.
I saw a light-skinned boy about my age, maybe slightly older. He had dark brown hair with a few lighter streaks, probably natural highlights. He wore glasses, but under them were bright blue eyes. He also had a small scar on his chin. He was very skinny, and he wore a black shirt and blue shorts. He actually looked kind of cute.
He walked over to me. "Hey, I saw what you did with those bullies back there." He said. "That was pretty cool!"
"Yeah, well, I need to keep my powers a secret if at all possible." I said
"Yeah, well, so do I." he said.
"What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Watch." He suddenly disappeared.
"Wha-?!" I exclaimed. "Where are you?"
"Up here!" he shouted. He was in a tall tree nearby.
"You can teleport?!" I asked.
He nodded. "I can also do this!" he said. He jumped out of the tree, which was about 20 feet up, landed safely, then jumped up and hovered. He then flew over to me. He slowly descended to the ground.
"Wait, did you just jump out of that tree without hurting yourself?!" I shouted in surprise. He nodded.
"I also flew over here." he said.
"How did you do that?!" I asked.
"You're not the only one with powers." He said. He noticed my leg. "What happened?"
"I'd rather not explain in detail, but let's just leave it at this: a tree fell on my leg, and a friend made me a new one." I explained.
"Who's the person who made it?" he asked. "I'd like to meet her, if possible."
I shook my head. "You can't." I said.
"Why not?" he asked.
"She's dead."
"Oh… I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay, you didn't know." I said. "I also have other powers similar to yours, by the way." I said, trying to change the subject.
"Really? Like what?" he asked.
"I can teleport." I said. "I can also fly, but that's just from my rocket boots. I can also run faster than a normal person, and my legs are super-strong."
"Nice! Show me the teleportation." He said.
"Okay…" I said. I teleported to the top of the tree, just like he did, then I jumped down. I landed safely, then ran as fast as I could over to him.
"Cool!" he said. "I also saw your lightning sword and power over electricity. I can control fire, water, air, ice, energy, and electricity. For some reason, I can't control earth."
"Really?!" I said. "Show me."
He summoned a fireball and threw it at the tree. Then he threw a water bomb to extinguish the fire. He made a wind blade and cut a branch off of the tree. He then froze the branch as it fell, so it shattered on impact with the ground. Then he created a bow and arrow of energy and fired it at the tree. It hit the tree and exploded, but he absorbed the blast so that it wouldn't cause a problem. Finally, he created an electric sword, then released it.
"Believe me now?" he said.
I simply stood there, frozen in amazement. I snapped out of it and nodded.
"But can you do this?" I said. I pulled out one of my tokens.
"You're not saying you can do the railgun attack, are you?!" he said.
I dropped the coin. "How do you know about that?!" I asked.
"I can do that, too!" he said. "Give me a token."
I tossed one of my tokens to him. Then I picked up the one I dropped.
"We should probably fire these where it won't do any damage, though." He said.
"Good idea." I replied.
"If the staff saw what I did, I'll be in huge trouble." He said.
As if right on cue, a staff member walked up to us.
"What was that?!" the staff member shouted.
"He was just showing me something." I replied.
"Well, if he tries to show off his powers again, he'll be expelled!" the staff member yelled. "Got it?!"
"Got it." we both said.
"Good." With that, he left.
"Jeez, he needs to calm down." I said.
"I know, but he's always like that." the boy said. "Hey by the way, what's your name?"
"My name's Dina." I replied.
"Dina… I think I've heard that name before." He said. "Wait, are you the fossil fighter who saved the world?!"
"How did you know?!" I asked.
"I heard that name on TV one time. It was shortly after the Caliosteo Cup ended." He replied.
"Anyways, what's your name?"
"My name is Jonathan. But I go by the nickname of 'Electromaster' because electricity is my favorite element to control. But you can call me whatever you want." He replied. "Hey, why don't we meet in the field after school to test our powers?"
"Sounds good to me!" I replied.
And with that, we split up to go to our classes.
It's the first day of the school year, and I've already made a new friend.
I think that was the longest of the starting chapters out of any of my stories. Anyways, Dina has already made a new friend! And yes, Jonathan is my fantasy self. I couldn't think of a better nickname, except maybe Tesla, so I just used the name I used. Anyways, I'll get more chapters up as soon as I can, so keep reading and reviewing!
