NerfSonicRD: Hey, guys. Welcome to the origin story of my OC, Strike, as well as Dark Hunter's, Specter.

DarkHunter677: Hello. As my friend stated, this is the origin of our OCs, and how they came to be heroes. A couple of my OCs will be in this, but I don't know when they'll enter.

NerfSonicRD: That depends. Anyways, just before we get into the story, just to let you know, this is not the Strike from my other Fanfics. He was my second version. In fact, if any of you had seen some of my videos on my YouTube Channel, I've made videos about the first version of my character, Blue Strike. So this story will rather be about him. Well, that's all. Hope you enjoy.

The sun shined brightly through the sky on a peaceful afternoon. The citizens of Sunny City were enjoying their day. Traffic was normal as the citizens were walking around through the parks and neighborhoods.

In the middle of Sunny City, a large science facility known as O.M.E.G.A. Laboratories was preparing its particle accelerator for a massive project; the future. The accelerator was built to create abilities that people had never dreamt of before. The leader of the facility, Harold Taylor had planned from this project for years.

Harold Taylor was the Earth's very first trillionaire. He had over nine hundred trillion dollars. He built O.M.E.G.A. Labs to create the future. It was his family's dream, mostly the dream for Harold's son, Jarod Taylor.

Jarod Taylor was fifteen years old and very bright. His father was raising him really well. He took him to the best schools and on a lot of wonderful trips. Jarod was athletic, strong, very handsome to so many people, and he was really smart. He knew so much about science, history, he was an expert in playing guitar, piano, drums and other instruments, and he learned so much about the Earth. He was fascinated with people having superpowers.

Jarod had always made his parents really proud of him. He always got his schoolwork finished at school in time with very high marks. He won many different and challenging competitions with gold medals, cups, and other amazing rewards in some of his favorite sports, such as hockey, soccer, swimming and much more. He had a lot of training in every type of martial artists, as well as parkour and gymnastics. He even made so many cover songs with his music skills and always got a lot of people's entertainment.

Today, at Sunny High School, it was 12:50, and the students were in the cafeteria getting their lunch and sitting in the tables. One male student had just grabbed his food and went to find a table. This boy was Jarod. He was the school's most popular student.

Jarod found a table and sat down with his tray. Two of his best friends sat next to him, Ramona Jones and Dan Jackson.

Ramona Jones was Sunny School's greatest girl athlete. She had been a best friend with Jarod ever since she arrived in Grade 5. She was excellent at most sports, especially at swimming.

Dan Jackson was very skilled with technology and science. He knew Jarod ever since their years in Lower School. He had been fascinated with creating futuristic tech to improve people's lives.

"Hey, guys," Jarod said.

"Hey, Jarod," Ramona said as she drank her water, "So, I hear you're gonna leave in a few minutes?"

"Yep," Jarod said as he took a bite from his hotdog, "Another plane trip. Again."

"So, where you going this time?" Dan asked.

"Grand Cayman," Jarod answered, "It's my favorite place to visit. I've gone there a lot. I really like the nice beaches, and the same nice room I always get."

"Ah, right," Dan said, before he looked at his tray, "Oh, I forgot to get a drink. I'll be right back."

Dan went to get himself water. Jarod spoke, "Hey, Ramona."

"Yeah, Jarod?" Ramona asked.

"Today's a very, very big day," Jarod said, "My father's going to activate the particle accelerator at O.M.E.G.A. Labs… tonight."

As soon as Jarod had said that, Dan's new tray landed right next to Jarod's, and Dan was right in Jarod's face, "Did you just say particle accelerator?!"

"Whoa, chill, Dan," Jarod said as he pushed Dan away for space, "Yes, I did just say that.

"Yo, some of the others said that it's gonna bring the future straight to the present," Dan said, "And it actually starts tonight!"

"Dude, calm down," Ramona said, "We get it. And don't get me wrong, I'm really excited for it too. But why are you so excited about it?"

"Think about it," Dan said, "Once it activates, the future begins. New technology, new vehicles, and even more. I can hardly wait!"

"Heh, I actually never thought you'd be that fascinated," Jarod said.

"Hey, man," Dan said, "Your dad is a literal genius! I mean, have you even seen what technology he's already created?"

"Yeah, yeah," Jarod said, "I've been visiting O.M.E.G.A. Labs many times over."

Jarod then checked the clock and saw it was 1:00, "Oh, that's my cue. Sorry, guys. I gotta go. A taxi's coming to pick me up right now."

"Okay, Jarod," Ramona said, "Enjoy your trip."

"And Jarod," Dan called out, "Tell your dad I said hi!"

Jarod just chuckled as he dumped his tray. Then as he began to walk through the halls, most of the students waved hi to him. They knew who he was, and Jarod waved back to them. He went to his locker and backed up his stuff in his backpack. But as soon as he locked his locker, a pump male student with a greedy face walked up to him, Fred Ronald.

"Hey there, rich punk," Fred slapped Jarod's backpack onto the floor.

Jarod sighed, "Really, Fred? You still want to continue this?"

"You think that just because you're rich it means you can have all the attention you want?" Fred pointed at Jarod.

Jarod picked up his backpack, "Look, I don't try to get people's attention. I just like to say hi to them, and that's it. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go."

Jarod began to walk to the front door. Fred growled and he was about to walk after him, but then he felt a hand grab his shoulder. He looked and saw that Jarod's science teacher, Mr. Matt was watching.

"You, Mr. Ronald are coming with me to the principle's office," Mr. Matt said.

Fred grumbled as they went to the principle's office. Jarod went out the door and saw his taxi was waiting for him. The driver waved at him, "Jarod, I'm here to take you home. Let's go."

Jarod nodded as he approached the taxi. Then as he was about to open the door, a bunch of girls approached Jarod. They were fans of him.

"Hi, Jarod," one of the girls said, "Can we get your picture?"

Jarod smiled, "Sure."

Another girl took a selfie of her, some of her friends, and Jarod. And the girls all cheered that they got a picture of them with him. Jarod chuckled as he got in the front passenger seat of the taxi, "See ya, girls."

As the taxi drove away, the girls all waved and said bye to Jarod. As the taxi was driving through the city, Jarod was waving hi to anyone who saw him. As the taxi stopped at a red light next to Sunny Park, everyone could see Jarod and waved at him and took pictures. Jarod just smiled and waved.

When the light turned green, the taxi continued to drive around town. Everyone who saw Jarod in the taxi waved and smiled at him. When the taxi was driving next to a train, the driver and passengers waved at Jarod. Some of the girls on it squealed in excitement as Jarod smiled and winked at them.

Then the taxi began driving through a long tunnel. Once it came out of the other side, close by was Jarod's father's facility, O.M.E.G.A. Laboratories. It was the biggest science facility on the planet, and it was in the very center of Sunny City. It was long and round and had three separate buildings on it.

Jarod loved looking at the facility from his home. He could be able to see the entire building from there. Then his taxi began to drive up a small bridge that led to a hill where his mansion was. The mansion was massive. It had seven floors with a lot of windows each. The seventh floor had a balcony up at the top and the roof with benches, a table with chairs, and an advanced telescope.

The taxi stopped in front of the pathway that led straight to the front of the door. Jarod stepped out, "Thanks for the ride."

"No problem, Jarod," the taxi driver said, "Have a good night and a wonderful trip."

The taxi drove away. Jarod walked to the doors and opened them. He went inside and looked around the area. There were a lot of special features all over. A special piano was next to a glass wall with water running down inside it, next to a spiral stairway that led to the garage and workshop. The main stairway that was forward in front of Jarod had one doorway to the kitchen, and two other stairs that led upstairs. There were many pictures of Jarod's history from when he won those competitions, went on amazing trips and many more. There was also a shelf with many of Jarod's gold trophies and medals.

Then the doors to the kitchen opened and two adults walked out and down the stairs to Jarod. It was Harold and his wife Crista, Jarod's mother.

"Hey, Jarod," Harold said, "How was school today?"

"It was okay, as always," Jarod said, "No homework for me, again. And I've been admired by a lot of people on the way home."

"You've learned really well, sweetie," Crista said, "You should be proud of yourself."

"Oh, I am," Jarod said, "I always have been, always will be."

"Well, I'm glad you went through a good week once more, son," Harold said, "Because your trip with your mother is going to be better. Have a little rest, grab some dinner, and you'll be ready to go."

Jarod nodded as he went to his room. When he went in, he put down his backpack and sat down on his bed. He grabbed his laptop and decided to check out what was on the news. It showed him the things that were going to happen later. It had a picture of O.M.E.G.A. Labs at the top.

Jarod then looked out the door window that led to the balcony outside his room. He could see O.M.E.G.A. Labs and the whole city through it. He liked the view.

Jarod could a vibration in his pocket. He checked and saw that Dan was calling him on his phone. He answered, "Hey, Dan."

Dan was in a small science lab with a lot of equipment. He had some kind high-tech gauntlets and a mask on his working bench.

"Hey, Jarod," Dan said, "How you doing?"

"Just relaxing in my room," Jarod said, "Gonna leave for Grand Cayman in a few hours. Whatcha up to?"

"Oh, I'm just working on a little bit of a project I've been making for a while," Dan said as he put some pieces on one of his gauntlets.

"Really? Like what?" Jarod asked.

Dan took his phone and sat against a scanner to turn record what he was doing while Jarod was talking, "Check this out."

Jarod began watching as Dan showed him, "See, Jarod? I'm making some really cool gauntlets and a mask. When they're ready, I will be able to have cool abilities, like phasing and stuff like that."

"Nice," Jarod said, before he noticed a small round device next to Dan's project, "What's that next to them?"

"Oh, this?" Dan asked grabbing the device, "This is a shield generator. Want to see how it works?"

Dan activated the shield generator and sat it on the table. It then had a small blue energy shield around it. "Cool, huh?" Dan asked.

"Not bad," Jarod said.

Then the shield generator seemed like it was malfunctioning. Then the shield disappeared and a red text that said fail was above the generator.

"Huh?" Dan said, "This didn't happen before."

Dan was about to check the device. Jarod tried to speak, "Uh, bad idea, Dan."

But right as Dan was about to touch the generator, it suddenly went out with a FLASH! The generator flashed a blinding light with Dan yelping, "AAAAAAHHH!"

"Dan, you okay?" Jarod asked.

Dan moaned as he stood up covered in soot, "Eh, it's a work in progress. Look, I gotta go. And I need to be sure that when the particle accelerator goes online, it doesn't effect my work."

"Sure, see ya, Dan," Jarod hung up.

Then Jarod's door opened and Harold stepped in, "Jarod, I'm going to head to O.M.E.G.A. Labs to prepare the accelerator. Your mother has made you dinner."

"All right," Jarod said, "See ya, Dad."

"Have a good trip, son," Harold said as he left.

Jarod went downstairs to the dining room where his mother was waiting for him. Jarod sat down in his chair and Christa gave him a bowl of chicken noddle soup, "Here you go, sweetie," she said, "Be sure that once you finish, you get yourself ready for the trip."

"Sure thing, Mom," Jarod said.

Christa left as Jarod began having his soup. Later, at Sunny Airport, a small plane for Jarod and Christa arrived. One of the workers put their suitcases in the fuselage as Jarod and Christa got in the plane. Once the runway was clear, the plane began to take off.

A bit later, the plane was in the air, and Jarod and Christa were watching the news on the TV. Ramona's father, Jacob was reporting what was happening at O.M.E.G.A. Labs.

"This is Jacob Jones from Sunny City News," Jacob said, "Harold has now activated the particle accelerator at O.M.E.G.A. Labs as we speak. The future has begun."

Jarod was excited and Christa smiled, "Our dream is finally coming true, sweetie."

Then one of the pilots came to them, "Guys, we're starting to run into a storm. You're gonna need to take your seats and fasten your seatbelts."

Jarod could then feel his phone vibrating. He checked it and saw Dan was trying to call him. He answered, "Hey, Dan. You seeing the news?"

Strangely, at Dan's lab, everything was shaking around. Dan was panicking, "Jarod, you need to get out of your plane now! The accelerator exploded!"

"What?" Jarod asked, "What do you mean?"

"Look out your window!" Dan panicked.

Jarod looked out the window of the plane. His eyes widened when he saw a massive flash of light coming from his country and shooting into the sky. A massive wave of energy was spreading everywhere.

When Dan saw what was happening, he was shocked, "J-Jarod?"

"Dan, what is it?" Jarod asked.

"It's… it's…" Dan stammered.

All of a sudden, the wave of energy went through Dan's lab, breaking the window and forcing Dan to fly right into the table where his project was. As soon as he landed, the gauntlets somehow attached themselves to his lower arms and the mask was right on his face. Red electricity was crackling as Dan yelled in utter pain, "AAAAAAAHHH!"

Jarod could hear Dan screaming on the phone until it went out, "Dan? Dan! Are you okay!?"

Jarod then saw the energy coming right towards the plane, "GET DOWN!"

Christa and the pilots got down, but as soon as the energy surrounded the plane, the windows broke and some pieces flew at Jarod. Jarod covered himself before they hit him. Thunder and lightning was striking everywhere around the plane.

Jarod then saw some kind of blue light out of the windows right behind him. He turned around to see what it was, and then all of sudden, a massive lightning bolt struck through the window and hit Jarod in his chest, "AAAAAAAAHHH!"

Jarod was flown right into the roof of the plane and then landed back on the floor groaning in utter pain. "JAROD!" Christa said.

Christa ran to Jarod who tried to get up. One of the pilots came to them, "Christa, our engines are destroyed! We're gonna crash!"

Christa then saw an open locker with a parachute, "Not all of us."

Christa went to the locker and grabbed the parachute. She quickly helped Jarod put it on. The second pilot yelled, "Christa, what the hell are you doing!? That's the only parachute we have!"

"If anyone's gonna make it out of this, it's gonna be my son!" Christa yelled back.

Christa got Jarod up and brought him to the nearest door. But as soon as she tried to open it, the first pilot suddenly pulled out a pistol from his jacket. Jarod, Christa, and the other pilot gasped in shock.

"I'm afraid we all know that's not an option," the pilot said pointing the gun as Christa and Jarod, "Your father's cash will be mine, Jarod."

The other pilot suddenly grabbed the first one from behind and pulled the gun back. As they struggled with each other, the pilot shouted, "Quick, get him out of here!"

Christa opened the door and the wind was blowing hard through.

"Mom?" Jarod asked.

"I'm sorry, Jarod," Christa said as she had tears in her eyes, "I love you."

Christa pushed Jarod out of the plane as it began to fall down. "MOM, NO!" Jarod yelled.

Jarod quickly grabbed the cord and pulled it. The parachute popped out of the bag and slowed Jarod down from falling.

The armed pilot growled, "NO!"

The pilot then shot Christa in the chest and the other pilot in the head, "AHH!"

Christa groaned in pain as the pilot went to the front. He tried to turn the plane, but it didn't work. He could see through the window that the plane was heading straight for the ocean.

The pilot growled before he said, "For the Claw."

The plane crashed into the water, and then KABOOM! It exploded with its pieces flying everywhere. Jarod had a waterfall of tears in his eyes, "No. Mom."

Then a piece of the plane's right wing was flying right at Jarod. It cut the ropes attacked to the parachute. Jarod began to fall down to the water, "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

Jarod landed in the water with a massive splash. Underwater, Jarod was unconscious, but then something began to happen. Mysterious whitish blue energy was circling him as there was some kind of whitish blue glow on Jarod's chest.

A strange whitish blue glowing symbol was appearing on Jarod's chest. It was a symbol of a lightning bolt with a ring around it with the tips of the bolt striking out. Whatever had happened to Jarod, his life was about to change forever.
