Recommended song: Some really obscure ambient tune, by C418


13 February 2012

A young teen was sitting on a chair, he was being filmed.
"Hello there. Could you tell us a bit about yourself?" Somebody had asked him.
The kid inhaled and crossed his arms "My name is Thomas Jordan Steven. I have been an assistant of Super Rike since he was 9. Since his disappearance, my life has become much like that of a normal child, raised on education and increasing responsibility."
"Can you describe Super Rike before he went missing?"
"He was smart, like, out of this world smart. I knew he was an alien I just don't and perhaps now never will know which planet he originates from. He had superpowers which he says he got when he was 7. He could build portals that could defy anything and everything known to physics. You name it, he could make it happen."
'What do you know about his disappearance?"
"I know almost nothing. Earlier this year, one day, he just asked me to take me and my father Franklin to a place on Earth. He made sure we were financially stable and that we lived somewhere that we were somewhat used to before we met him. He seemed rather upset at the time."
"And then what happened?"
"Well, we couldn't return, it was one way transportation. Wherever we were, we were stuck there. We never heard from him again. Not long afterwards, there was controversy about his disappearance. We were only told what everyone was told. Super Rike was just gone, just like his brother Evil Rike did in 2010."
"What do you think was the reason of his disappearance?"
"To be honest, I couldn't tell you. I've been told so many things, I don't know what to believe anymore..."
He looked to his side.
"It might have to do with the fact that his family died in 2010 though."
"Could you tell us more about that?"
"Well, his parents were the first to die. It was early in the summer and we got news that his home planet has disappeared from every radar and scanner out there. He left and didn't come back until several months later concluding that it was gone, but he still didn't know how."
"But his brothers Evil Rike, the then retired villain and ExploRike, the neutral kid who wanted to see the wonders of Earth, they weren't on that planet then, were they?"
"They weren't, they died on an accident on Earth involving an experiment that they were conducting that went horribly wrong. They died not long before Super Rike returned to Earth."
"And what happened after that?"
"Hell, at least for him. You could clearly see that he was slowly losing his sanity. Me and my father actually started getting seriously worried."
"Is it true that you started seeing less and less of him before he went away completely?"
"Yes, it is. He had started seeing friends of his from another universe. I assume you're familiar with the Pokémon franchise?"
"Is that the video game series?"
"Yes. Well, he started seeing friends of his in a universe set with that theme. He even claims that he was responsible for Pokémon being made into a game in the first place, but I don't know if that was just him losing his sanity."
"Do you have an idea on what happened to him?"
"Well, some say that he's now dead. Others speculate that he now lives in his Pokémon world, and some say he left Earth."
"And do any of those seem more likely to you?"
"I doubt he'd just leave leave Earth like that. If he had, he probably would have come back by now."
"So you think he's dead?"
"I'm telling you, I don't know, I really have no clue."

"Okay, that's all we need to know for now, thank you for your time."
"That's okay." He said, looking down "It's not like I had a choice to come here or anything."
