Dark Lightning
I give the bully a deadpan expression. Seriously, If you really want to act all cool like, you should have chosen a different job. Yes I did just say job. Middle schools these days... It's like everyone has a different job, cool, popular, nerd, loser, deadlast, potato... Actually, forget the last two. The former reminds me of Naruto, and the latter doesn't make much sense. Although I meant couch potato, potato reminds everyone of food. Then they'll get distracted, start thinking of how their hungry or something. Whatever, I'm not hungry to too bad. Ha. I confused you! Right? Am I right? The reason I'm talking like this is because there's infinite dimensions... And in one of them, I might have some kind of fiction story where I'm the main character and the story is a perfect biography of my life and stuff. I meant thinking. Thinking like this, not talking like this. Honestly. This is my mind, I'm allowed to ramble and make no sense. Because I'm the only one who will be affected... Except for that one dimension. Whatever, I should probably stop spacing out now... The bully looks mad. Better face the fireworks.
A fist comes flying at my face and collides at incredible power. I grimace. Well that's gonna leave a mark. I clutch my broken nose in annoyance. "Seriously? I loved that nose! I even named him Bob!"
As you (actually, It's I... Because you know, this is my thoughts and stuff. Except for that one dimension. It always goes back to that one dimension doesn't it?) Can tell, I am slightly insane. Nah, I'm perfectly sane. Just too lazy to act like it. Yup. That doesn't make sense? Well too bad, I might explain later, but theres really no point in explaining to my self, except for that one dimension...
I spin my pen, and throw it at the bully's face. As expected, the pen hits the bully's face and does nothing except make him angrier. I look around the classroom, and spot a pen being used by one of the nerds. Going to need to borrow this, Thanks Mr. Nerd person. Grabbing the pen, I throw it at the bully's face once again. The bully grabs the pen, and throws it at my face. Brilliant! Now the bully is copying me! I grab the pen that was thrown at me, and throw it back towards the bully.
Now you all from that one dimension may be wondering why exactly I was doing this. It was simple. Let me give you all an example that is not in any way mathematically correct. The bully has 100 hit points. I have 80 hit points. By throwing the pen at the bully, I inflict 0.0001 hit points of damage. If I keep throwing the pen, I can defeat him. It's like Minecraft. The bully's an iron golem and the pen is a wooden sword. If I keep throwing the pen and making sure I don't receive damage, I should win. I'm smart like that.
Of course, my best plans go out the window when the teacher enters the room to see me throwing pens at the bully's face. She looks angry that I'm supposedly picking on her prized student.
"Detention after school Nicholas! This is the fourth time I've had to tell you NOT to pick on Brant here! Any more and I will see to it that you are expelled!" The teacher gives me a harsh glare as I nod while wondering how many hit points she has and how I could defeat her with my wooden sword.
-~Two Years Later~-
I felt the cold forest air hit my face. I was running, running as fast as my legs could take me. My breathing was irregular, and I was breathing extremely fast. I wanted nothing more than to lay down and rest, but that wasn't possible in the woods. Especially with wolves chasing me. The wolves had pitch black fur, and they blended in with the shadows of the dark forest. I had no choice but to run until I found shelter or some help. If only my car hadn't broken down... I kept on running.
After a while, one of the wolves caught up to me, and tried to bite me. The wolf ripped a small layer of skin, and I felt the cool forest air. Going half hysterical, I kept running. I saw a sharp piece of wood, and out of desperation, grabbed it. At the same time, I crashed into a tree. Knowing that I had no chance of survival, I turned around, and threw the sharp piece of wood at the wolves. Out of sheer luck, the piece of wood hit four wolves and flew back into my hand. I waved the piece of wood around, in a threatening manner. The wolves snarled at the piece of wood, and slowly backed away. I frowned, wondering why they were scared of a piece of wood. After looking at it, I got a good idea why they were scared of it. Because of my haste in running from the wolves, I didn't notice that the piece of wood was actually shaped like a crude imitation of a lightning bolt, and it was made out of a material like obsidian. Just looking at it started to make me shiver. It had a dark aura around it, that seemed to suck all happiness away from you and made your worst memories appear. Part of me yelled to drop it and run, but it was my only weapon against wolves. Glaring at the lightning bolt for no reason, I brandished the weapon at the wolves. While pointing it at the wolves, I slowly headed back to my car. Finding my car was easy, because of the path that the wolves and
I had created while running. After getting into my car, I pressed the button that first read my fingerprint, then pressed the troubleshoot button. The car checked everything, and found that the car had no problems. Frowning I started the engine, and drove out of the forest.
Once I was out of the forest, It took a second to remember where I was headed. Right, The mysterious High School I thought. After all, that was probably the only high school that would accept me after getting expelled from so many, because of some misunderstandings. I continued driving the car, while stopping a few times to answer the phone and reassure my parents that I was ok, and to check in with a few games, and checking the map, I didn't want to accidentally go into the forest again. After a few hours, my car stopped again. This time, I didn't go out of the car, and simply tried to start the car again. Of course, that didn't work. I didn't want another wolf incident, so I brought the obsidian weapon with me when I exited my car. I decided to simply call it Dark Lightning. Once I was out of my car, I realized that the car simply might have one of those machines that freeze the car every few hours. I searched the car for freeze machines, and finally found the one that was stopping my car. It was an extremely expensive prank machine, so I didn't break it. Instead, I unscrewed it from the back
of my car, and put it inside my trunk of extremely useless stuff. After that, I tried to start up my car again. Of course, It worked. Thinking that whoever put that on my car and almost got me killed, I continued driving to the mysterious high school. After a few hours my car stopped again. Facepalming, this time I searched the car for a whole hour, and found a total of 4 devices. Frustrated, I unscrewed them as fast as possible. After unscrewing the machines that froze my car, I put them in my car, thinking that they were worth about one thousand dollars. After getting back into my car, I realized that I was extremely tired from being chased by the wolves. I put the car on auto, and went to sleep in the back of my car. Probably after a few hours I woke up, because my GPS told me that I was almost at the high school. I wondered if I was going to get kicked out of this high school too. A few min later, I reached the high school. The high school was a huge building, with a statue of a horse in front of the high school, and there was a giant
crater-like hole behind the statue. There were caution tapes all around the crater, and police swarming around the crater. I walked around the crater and entered the huge school. The school looked like a ordinary high school, but the people in the school had abnormal skin colors. blue, green, purple, all the colors that I could think of were there. I then realized that I had no idea how to get to the principals office. I decided to wander around and try to find the office. Thinking that the office was near the entrance of the high school, I only looked around the entrance of the high school for the office. After realizing that the office wasn't near the entrance, I decided to ask someone. Realizing that asking the wrong person could make me the schools most popular loser or something, I decided to ask someone who seemed nice enough not to tease me or tell other people. I spotted a girl who at first seemed nice and even smiled at me, but as I walked away I heard her whisper to another girl in the classic 'I am better than everyone else' tone. "wow, look, a new kid, any ideas on to get him kicked out of my school?"
Slowly backing away, I decided to avoid that girl as much as possible and not draw attention to myself. Of course, that plan messed up after I bumped into someone while backing away. I heard a few smirks and realized that at this rate I was going to be labeled as a bully victim. I looked behind me to see that the person I bumped into was a girl with black hair, with normal skin color. Deciding I should apologize, I said, "Sorry for bumping into you!" and ran off deciding not to embarrass myself anymore. Then, I felt a cold stone surface hit my face and blacked out with pain.
When I woke up, I had a huge headache and my head was throbbing with pain. I looked around to see that I was still in the place where I hit my head. I looked at what I hit my head on, and realized that it was a map of the school. I sighed and wondered why would anyone even need a map? Then after a few second of thought, I realized that I needed to use the map to find the principal's office. After looking at the map, I slowly headed towards the office.
I managed to get to the office without embarrassing myself any further. After reaching the door, I slightly smiled in triumph while reaching towards the door. It smashed into my face. This time my nose was bleeding, and I figured it would be a good idea to head in before anything else happens. After heading in, I saw the principal sitting in a work chair in a office/corner of the room. I decided to introduce myself. "Ummmmm my name is uh, it's Nicholas but some people call me Nick and that's perfectly fine but maybe since you're a teacher ooops sorry I meant principal of this school you should probably call me Nicholas because oh wait I already told you and uh, ya my name is Nicholas and it is nice too meet you" I managed to finish my rambling with a 'its nice too meet you' so I didn't seem like a complete idiot.
The principal of the school had hair with some colors of the rainbow, and had white skin. She had a kind smile on her face as she introduced herself. "Hello Nicholas, it's nice to meet you. My name is Principal Celestia."
"Uhhh I'm the new student at this school and wanted to know what to do." I said while trying not to stammer. After I said that, I realized that I probably stopped our conversation with that to the point sentence. Freaking out again, my arm involuntarily smashed into the door that was still open, and I fell to the floor and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was in a place that looked like a regular hospital room, except that there was a window to the school's field and I saw many students of Canterlot High playing outside. I realized that it was probably lunch time, and estimated that I spent at least 4 hours knocked out. I had bandages on my arm, head, and nose. Sighing, I realized this was probably my worst start in a high school so far, which meant I was most likely going to get kicked out of this one also. I was just about to step out of the bed when a quiet voice stopped me.
"Oh, Um, you shouldn't be moving around too much because it might make
your condition worse. Do you need anything?" I looked looked around and saw a girl with pink hair, and yellow color skin.
"Ok, I will stay in this bed, and no, I do not need anything, thanks for asking though." Wow.. I thought, this girl easily put me to ease.
"So, What's your name?" I asked her.
"My names Fluttershy, what's yours?"
"My names Nicholas"
I decided to start playing a random game on my phone, when she didn't answer. I looked through my games and saw one I haven't played for a while. It was Deer Hunter. After managing to shoot a few deer in the heart, I let out a small triumphant yell. Fluttershy decided to see what I was playing and freaked out. "Oh no, no the poor dears! Oh my gosh we need to help them! How did they get shot?" I decided not to answer that and moved onto a game that didn't involve any animals getting hurt. I thought that a violent game wouldn't be any good either, so I started playing a puzzle game. The puzzle game was called 3D puzzles, and used the phones 3D laser projector to project a bunch of pieces that could be used to make certain objects on my phone screen. After failing miserably a few times, Fluttershy came over and helped me on a few rounds. After she helped me, we took turns doing levels.
After about 20 minutes of playing that game together, the bell for the end of lunch rang and Fluttershy had to leave for class. I didn't have any classes because of my current injury. After about an hour of trying to stop being bored by playing Kingdoms At War, I decided to go outside a little. As soon as I stepped out of the bed, there was a loud noise and the door made a locking sound. Just to make sure, I tested the door, it was locked shut. After looking behind me, I saw how it worked. There was a motion sensor behind me that most likely triggered the door to be locked. There was a note attached to it that said,
Sorry, but you need your rest. ~Fluttershy
Sighing, I decided to get some rest and fell asleep in the bed. When I woke up, I saw Fluttershy playing levels of the 3D puzzle game with my phone. Smiling, I asked, "Need any help Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy looked up and replied, "That's what I should be asking you... How are you feeling? Do you need any help? Oh... And sorry for taking your phone without asking... You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up..."
Thinking that Fluttershy was the nicest girl in Canterlot High so far, I replied, "My heads hurting a bit but I'm ok, thanks for asking, and feel free to use my phone whenever you want."
Fluttershy had a happy expression on her face as she smiled in response to my offer.
Hours later, I woke up to the sound of chaos, literary, chaos. All I could hear were people screaming, freaking out, and running. Thinking this was bad, I quickly got my backpack, and ran outside. I saw people running around, and decided to follow the current of people. While running with everyone, I looked back and saw wolves. THE wolves. The wolves who chased me. I realized that they must have picked up on my scent and decided to follow me. I remembered the lightning bolt I had nicknamed "Dark Lightning." I was hesitant to use it, but I had no choice. Taking it out of my backpack, I held it in a way that I won't get cut and faced the wolves. My brain was yelling at me for being an idiot, but I threw Dark Lightning and like before, it hit the wolves, but this time did something weird. Instead of the usual Boomerang arc, It spun at extreme speeds and kept on hitting the wolves. After the wolves ran away with fear, Dark Lightning flew back into my hand. Realizing that this proved it was not an ordinary weapon I inspected it for any electronics, and only found a few small scratches on the weapon. Wait, did I just call it a weapon? Oh well, I suppose it kind of is a weapon. While deep in thought I didn't notice everyone crowding around me and asking about my "superior skills" with the weapon. I was about to say I didn't do anything with the weapon and that it hit the wolves by themselves, but I knew that was crazy... Maybe a huge amount of luck? Suddenly I remembered something about last week. When I was kicked out of my High School. I remember running, running as fast as possible, and I suddenly remembered blades flying. Wondering how I forgot, I tried to remember anything else. I couldn't remember. Thinking that this was the worst day of my life, I sighed and decided to go find a hotel and relax since school was over anyways.
I was wandering around the town trying to find a hotel, when I bumped into someone who I definitely didn't want to bump into...
The person that I bumped into, was a tan skinned man that was about 6' 6", with dark blonde hair, light blue eyes and an athletic build.
Speaking in a polite but formal tone, I said, "Hello brother"
As usual, I was instantly greeted by, "Don't know who you are. I do want the money that you owe me though"
Sighing, I gave him about 100 dollars in cash. I don't owe him any money, but if I refuse, I always get 'bad luck' when I'm walking around. Well, It's either that, or my brother decides to punch me. To be honest, I prefer bad luck since I might have a chance to avoid those rocks.
My brother says "Well, I'll be nice and take this, but tomorrow you have to double this!"
With that statement, he walked off into some kind of Nightclub.
End of part one, Next chapter will be more different!
