A/N: If you happen to be on , thanks for actually giving me a chance. No offense to most fanfiction writers, but your fanfics are overrated. Especially you and your cliched stories fanfiction9821. Take a look at your fanfics again. Seriously.
Enough ranting, let's get to the story. Reviews are appreciated, as I am want to improve on my writing skills. Especially ones with constructive criticism. And no, this is not a self-insert fic.
CHAPTER 1
SIEGE
Lives are never normal. In fact there is set normal. Any life is different in it's way, and normal only applies to one person's life. Even if your life feels the same as someone else, it will be different in some way. Some events can disturb the standard "normal" and lives can never be looked the same way again. This was one such event, but on a cosmic scale. This, was a Collision Event.
May 25th was the worst day to steal anything. Especially a gemstone providing power and electromagnetic properties. My name is Dexter Blair, but I prefer to be called Dax. And this is how a simple theft changed my life.
To give you an idea of what I was like, here's what I can remember/ obviously knew. I'm 15, I was a blonde haired guy at first, but I dyed it darker, because I thought it didn't show my personality. I was a little tall for my age, blue eyes, and other things. At the age of thirteen, I felt I had very little things, so I began my life of crime, pickpocketing and thieving. I had to hold myself back, since I didn't want to be in jail like any other criminal. Paying a bit more attention in school worked, giving me some smarts, besides street smarts.
Now to that event that happened. I was walking in a museum, mostly to entertain myself (since I had been grounded that day), and to steal something, if I was really bored. I got there by riding a bus. Walking to a section marked Valuables, I found an object that caught my attention. It wasn't very well guarded for some reason (just a glass box, but it was a little thick.), and there was a hastily typed up letter inside, spelling mistakes in few areas. It read:
" Mysterious Emerald(?)/ Gemstone
Found: 4- 13-12
This emerald fell out of the psy in Brooklyn, New Yok, unharmed. When taken to scintists to study, it almost edstroyed the equipment there. Now it is here for safe keepingf."
Suddenly a headache hit my brain, and images flashed by quickly, locations I had never seen, logos, symbols, images of creatures, a few familiar in some way. With some luck nobody noticed, and I grabbed a hammer out of my sweatshirt pocket, if I had to break some glass. I didn't know why I wanted to steal it at the time. If I had stole something much more valuable, I could make a bit more name for myself, although consequences would have to be faced. I threw my arm down to destroy the case, but I stopped once the emerald started glowing.
It shone brighter and brighter, until it sent out a blinding light, blinding everyone for a moment, shattering the case, and knocking security cameras. I wasn't blinded however, but to make up for that, fate hit me with intense pain. I doubled over, as it felt my bones and muscles like they were being stretched around, and many, many other things I'd rather not describe. After the pain subsided, I got up feeling a burst of energy i never had. Then I noticed I was suddenly holding the emerald and I had to make a getaway now that I was noticed by security.
I took off in a sprint, smacking into cases, past fossils, you know stuff you'd find in a museum. Then I took notice of how fast I was going. Everything seemed blurry to me. I didn't think I could go that fast ever, and no one else. People were staring at me, due to how fast I was running and other reasons I hadn't known at the time (which I will explain later.). I ran out of the museum into the city, smacking against a few cars, making a nice getaway.
Suddenly, I heard the blaring of sirens behind me. The cops were chasing me. Noticing some construction platforms I probably could use to get up higher and outsmart them. So I jumped and then, I went up and made it to the first floor without clinging onto and then climbing up. I continued up, startling construction workers, and attracting unwanted attraction.. I made it to the top of the building, but then I was surrounded, police officers, helicopters, you name it!
"Hand it over, and no one gets hurt you... thing!" said an officer over a megaphone. I wouldn't listen, as I hated how I couldn't just take something. For some reason I heard something like this in my head:
"...ald. It can turn any thought into power."
So I ended up wishing I could get away from these people mentally. and suddenly the emerald was glowing. It became so bright that it created a giant aura and destroyed all the cops, and I appeared in my home, on the. I was tired after that, and-of course fell asleep after a while.
A few hours later...
I got up from that nap to realize night was almost coming. I went to wash my face to notice I looked completely different. I looked like I came out of a cartoon. My head was much bigger than usual. My face was covered in an off-black color of fur except for my eyes, which had been blown up to the size of bowling balls, I had what appeared to be a tan muzzle, nose like some sort of mammal. I noticed my hands lacked fingernails and had fingerless gloves on them. And my hood had holes in it to make room for some new spiky hairstyle. I had no idea how it happened, and why. I turned on the news:
"In other news, a creature stole a gemstone from a local museum. He was traveling at a speed of what some people say might be 70 mph. We do not know what the origins of this thing are yet. More news at 7:00"
AN: Well how do you think that chapter was? Like I said before, review.
