Birth of Trezziak

Chapter Two: Power

They said he would never do anything good for the world. They teased him about everything. The way he looked, the way he dressed, the way he acted. They thought he had no brain. He was dumb, but not that dumb. He had feelings. The people he thought were his friends made fun of him behind his back. The only true friend he had was Eric, a dorky looking orphan that was supposed to be Maxum Man's sidekick, if Maxum Man was around, that was. Eric was the only that truly cared for Trevor. But that would soon change.

Trevor was walking home from the Sidekick Academy. "Trevor!" Eric shouted, running after Trevor as fast as his chubby legs could carry him. "What is it, Eric?" Trevor asked. Eric looked worried. "Why have you looked so sad lately?" Trevor looked away. "I-It's nothing. Don't worry about it..." Eric looked at Trevor with a face that showed that he didn't believe him, but he didn't say anything.

Suddenly, a loud scream was heard. And it sounded like a couple of girls. Trevor ran to where the scream came from. "Wait!" Eric yelled.

They then recognized the girls. They were Kitty and Vana. "Great. Just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse." Vana snarked. Trevor looked to see what was there. There was nothing there, or so he thought.

Something hit him from behind, which caught him by surprise. He couldn't tell what it was. But whatever it was, he needed to defeat it.

After he had that thought, he charged, yelling at the top of his lungs. The mysterious creature screeched, and swiped long, sharp claws across the bridge of Trevor's nose, drops of blood splashing onto the hard ground. Trevor landed rather awkwardly, and then slowly got up.

He charged again, and aimed a hard punch at the creature's jaw. The creature screeched, and swiftly ran into the shadows. He then looked at Vana and Kitty. "You're safe now." Trevor helped the girls up. Eric ran towards him. "Wow! That fight was awesome! You were awesome!" Vana rolled her eyes, then spoke up. "I'd have to agree with Eric on this one, unfortunately." Kitty, who didn't speak one word during most of this encounter, spoke up too. "I didn't know you had it in you!" She then noticed the fresh, bleeding scar across the bridge of Trevor's nose. "Uh... you're bleeding." she pointed out.

"No need to tell me." Trevor replied. A smirk came across his face. "I already know."

The rest of the day was normal, but Trevor couldn't keep his mind off of what happened that afternoon. That thought still occupied his mind when he went to sleep that night.

A mysterious voice cut into Trevor's dream. "Trevor Maxwell Troublemeyer." Trevor snarled. "Who are you? And how do you know my name?" The voice chuckled. "Because I am God." A flash blinded Trevor, causing Trevor to shrink back in fear. "Do you know how you changed the mind of the girls today?" Trevor scoffed. "Well, duh. They like me now." He then looked around. "Why are you talking to me, anyway? Am I dead?" "Not at all." A blue crystal suddenly appeared in front of Trevor.

"I have picked you and two others as the chosen ones." Trevor raised an eyebrow. "Chosen ones? Dude, what are we chosen to save?" The voice had a bit of amusement in it by this point. "You will see. I have chosen the Power Crystal for you, for saving the lives of those two girls, and thus earning their trust." The crystal flew into Trevor. He scrunched up in pain, as he started bleeding from the mouth. Then the pain left him.

Trevor woke up screaming.

He grasped his chest. It felt unusually warm, like he was... bleeding? He then looked down. There was indeed blood on his hands. He got out of bed, and looked in the mirror. There was a new wound on his chest. He yelped in surprise. Meanwhile, Heeza was watching him from his holy kingdom, his expression dark. "I'm sorry about the pain the crystal caused you, Trevor Troublemeyer, but that is just what the Power Crystal does when it enters your body." His eyes narrowed. "Use your powers well."
