Ch. 2: Party Time?

Kazuto lied down on his bed in his dorm. He had nothing better to do now that testing was over. Kazuto Orihara was a tired man. No one told him that college was going to be difficult. MW University was one of the few colleges that students of Trinity Academy would go to. Just like the rest of his family and the people at the university, he has extraordinary powers. He has the power to create acid rain, control air pressure, and power vision.

His vision allows his to see through walls, see from far distances, and not be blinded by smoke, bright light, and absolute darkness. However, those abilities won't be useful if his eyes get damaged in any way. Also, he needs absolute concentration when controlling acid rain and air pressure. He cannot afford himself to get distracted. Because of that, he would become anti-social.

He wouldn't go to any parties that his "friends" would invite him to. Being an Orihara brings respect, but it also brings too much attention. Kazuto sighed. Things have not been the same since his father died. Kazuto knew Trystan tried his best, but he thought his brother could've done better. He started thinking about his family.

Skyzor was only five years younger than Kazuto. He has the ability to control the element of fire. Not only that, but he can also fly and project his body at different places. However, project himself requires Skyzor absolute concentration. It would leave his real body vulnerable.

Kazuto thought about Trystan. His second youngest brother had the power to control the element of shadows. Kazuto believed it was an amazing power, but he couldn't help but notice that Trystan was a bit darker than he used to be. Trystan also has magic. It was surprising to the family that Trystan was the only member to possess that ability.

Trystan's other power is mind control. All three of those powers make him dangerous, but Kazuto wasn't sure if Trystan was a threat to anybody or not. He always distance himself from the rest of the family. He would always see his brother with a girl.

Then Kazuto thought about Neo. He was the youngest of the family, only four years younger than Trystan. Neo was born only a few months before their father received that illness. Neo grew up not knowing his father. Kasume would always tell him stories about her and Joseph Orihara.

Neo has the power to control the element of earth. Just like Skyzor, Neo also has the power of flight. Yet, he was inexperienced and a bit naïve. Kazuto believed, however, that Neo has the potential to be a great leader. He would always see Neo lead his band of misfit friends.

As Kazuto was deep in his thoughts, he heard a buzzing noise coming from his pants. He took out his phone and saw that he received a text from Skyzor. Bro, get over here now. Mom has something for you. We're all here. Well, most of us. As Kazuto read the text, he thought what his mom has for him. He got up and walked out of his dorm, heading towards the manor.

'Mom did everything for us since Dad died,' he thought. 'I'm not going to let her down.'

Kasume looked at her two sons who stood in front of her. "Did he receive the text?" she asked. "He's on his way," answered Skyzor. "What about Trystan?" Kasume asked as she turned to Neo. "He didn't answer back," he replied.

Kasume sighed. She knew that Trystan was being distant towards them, but she hoped that he would show up. Seeing his mother's sadness, Skyzor spoke up. "We don't need him. He's a jerk who doesn't love his family. He doesn't need to be here."

"Don't talk about your brother that way!" Kasume shouted. Both Skyzor and Neo stood there stunned. "I know that he doesn't seem happy being with us, but he's just having some trouble. He's still guilty about not being able to save your father." "Face it Mom. He doesn't love us. He's going to leave us at the first chance he gets," Skyzor replied.

Kasume didn't know what to say. She wanted to prove Skyzor wrong, but she couldn't help but acknowledge his words. It was a mother's job to find out what is wrong with her children and fix that problem. She knew that she needed to help Trystan, but she didn't know how. She decided to wait for her two remaining boys to come home.

"Wow Senpai, you won again!" Violette was amazed as she saw Trystan continue to win more money. They were at a casino named Leprechaun's Hideout. She would always accompany Trystan here. Piles of coins flooded out of the slot machine Trystan was using. Violette bent down and started picking the coins.

This was the only place that Trystan enjoyed himself. He hated Skyzor, he couldn't stand Neo, he didn't see Kazuto as a brother, and he couldn't look at Kasume in the eyes any more. The only person that Trystan is comfortable is Violette. She respected him and saw him as more than a member of the Orihara family. Trystan took out his phone and looked at the time. He knew it was already time.

Playing slot machines, cards, and rolling dice may win Trystan countless amounts of money, but they weren't the main reason he would always come to this casino. The real reason why Trystan would come to this casino was because he was part of an exclusive group of the casino. The name of the group is called the Game Club.

The Game Club was a V.I.P. group that only the best members of the casino can join. The people in the group would usually hangout and chat. They would also snack on food and play games. It was basically where the members can just be themselves and not worry about anything.

Trystan was able to get into the casino by using mind control. Now as a member of the casino, he used magic to win games and earn him tons of money. All of the winnings attracted the attention of the Elite. The Elite were the top members of the casino and were the leaders of Game Club.

The Elite consisted of Sean, Jesse 1, Jesse 2, Ken'yu, Steven, Thorn, Abigail, and Pride. All members of the Elite have powers of their own. Sean is the leader of the Elite. He is able to read the minds of others, create force fields, and predict an opponent's next fighting move, as long as it's some form of martial arts or hand to hand combat.

When Sean first met Trystan, he used his mind reading powers to see why Trystan was winning so much. While he didn't like the fact that he was cheating, he decided to allow Trystan into Game Club and into the Elite. However, Trystan is not allowed to use his powers in Game Club meetings.

Jesse 1 and Jesse 2 were two very different people and were not related. The only thing they had in common was that they shared the same first name. Jesse 1 has the power to control metal, while Jesse 2 had the power to control electricity. Jesse 1 has short hair and more weight. Jesse 2 had shaggy hair and less weight.

Ken'yu has the power of telekinesis and the ability to heal others. Just like Neo, he also has the ability to control earth. Ken'yu was born in Japan, but later moved to the U.S. When he met Trystan, they instantly became friends. The Japanese native is known to be calm and serious, but he would sometimes joke around. He also started teaching Trystan Japanese.

Steven is quite intelligent. He is known to quickly build any type of technology. He is also a skilled hacker and is known to create computer viruses. Thorn is the oldest of the group. He is the only person in the group to be in their twenties. He is actually a werewolf and once transformed, he has enhanced strength, speed, agility, and a healing factor, as long as he isn't wounded by any silver weapons.

Abigail is the only female of Game Club, or she used to be until Trystan insisted that Violette joined. Abigail has the power to control blood. It is a rare ability, and she can only control her own blood. When she first saw Trystan, she immediately took a liking to him. However, when she realized he's Violette's senpai, she knew she would have some competition.

Pride is the most arrogant of the group. He is known to have the ability to control ice. He would always boast about how he would win games, only to lose. Nevertheless, he can be a cool guy.

"Okay Violette, let's cash in these coins. After that, we can go to the meeting," said Trystan. He was certain glad he joined Game Club and became the newest member of the Elite. "Alright Senpai," replied Violette. She is so happy whenever she sees Trystan happy. She just wished she can be the cause of that happiness.

Once they exchanged the coins for a large sum of cash, they entered the elevator that would take them to the Game Club room. Violette blushed as she realized how close she is to Trystan. Trystan received a text from Neo, asking him to come home. Trystan looked at the message before deleting it. "Something wrong Senpai?" asked Violette. "Nah. It's just nothing." Trystan answered back. The elevator door opened, and they both entered to the large room.

Skyzor scowled. He knew Trystan wouldn't arrive. 'He's probably just screwing around with that girl of his,' he thought. He always wondered why his mother continues to love him. Skyzor actually cared about his mother. Whenever Kazuto was busy with college, Skyzor would help his mother in whatever she needs.

He knew he wouldn't be around much longer to help her, so he thought that at least Trystan or Neo would. However, guessing that Trystan won't be an option, Neo would have to do.

Skyzor wants to go places. After he graduates from Trinity Academy, he plans on traveling around the world. In order to do that, he must make sure that his mother is in the right care. Kasume seems a bit more fragile now that Joseph Orihara died. Skyzor already lost one parent. He didn't want to lose another one.

15 minutes after he texted Kazuto, his older brother arrived. However, Kasume decided not to join the party and continued to wait for Trystan. Skyzor couldn't stand seeing how his younger brother is hurting their mother. He decided that when Trystan comes home, he would punish him severely.

Author's Note: Chapter 2 is finally done. Things are about to become intense between Skyzor and Trystan. Please feel free to review. Also, give me some advice and ideas on how to make the story better. I really want to do my best on my first story.
