Chapter 4
Here is chapter 4. The action is coming. OC photos are in title photo. Disclaimer time.
Me-I can't believe I'm saying this but Kai. Will you do it?
Kai-just to be clear. I get to say whatever I want?
Me-I don't see why not.
Kai-ok. Jack is stupid and ObsessedWithKickinItnLabRats doesn't own him. Or Kickin It, or the rest of theses stupid characters. Or the brands she mentions. Just her stupid OCs.
Me-really?
Kai-I can say whatever I want.
Me-I knew that would come back and bite me in the butt. Here's the chapter.
Jack's POV
I sat in the common room past 11. Mostly everyone went to bed. When it was 11:45 I was nervous because people were still in the common room. I didn't know what it meant, why someone wanted to talk to me in secret, but I wasn't going to question it. Just in case.
I decided to go to my bedroom and sneak out. I went into the bedroom. I saw Asher and Nyching sleeping. I quietly then slipped into the bathroom. I locked the door and went into the shower. I opened the sunroof and climbs out. I went over to the edge of the building, then I realized we were on the 4 floor. I looked around for some way to get down. I saw a pipe. I grabbed onto it and slid down. When I hit the ground it was 11:55. I ran to the temple. There was nobody inside.
I wandered around then sat down on a bench. The temple didn't look too much like a temple. Bo staffs and other weapons lined the walls. There was an altar at one end of the temple but it looked more like a training room. I heard a stick crack outside. I grabbed a nearby Bo staff and stood up. I took a stance and looked around. I saw four people in hoods enter in through one of each of the four doors. I slowly walked toward the center of the room, keeping my eye on each of them while I went.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked bravely, even though I was scared out of my mind
"Jackson Brewer" one of them started. His voice was disguised. I assumed they were all disguised. I turned to the one the was talking. I pointed my Bo staff at him. "Give yourself to is. Give us your inner power"
"What are you talking about?!" I asked.
"Come with us and give us your inner power!" Another shouted. I turned to him.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" I screamed at them.
"Screw this, get him!" The third yelled. All four of them charged at me. I swung the Bo staff around. They backed up a little, but not much. The one that seemed to be there leader grabbed the Bo staff and broke it over his knee. That was going to cause some issues. They continued to come at me.
The first one that charged at me, I ducked down and flipped him over my shoulder. The next one that attacked me, I kicked him in the stomach, grabbed his sleeves, and pinned his arms behind him. I pushed him into the rack of nun chucks. The third that came I just flat up kicked him where it hurt most. He fell to the ground and I don't think he was getting up any time soon. Then the fourth, the leader, I believe, came up from behind me with a Bo staff. He held the ends of the Bo staff and flung it over my head. He pinned me against him. I tried to get away but I couldn't. It's almost impossible to break a solid Bo stuff. I struggled but he was pulling me out of the temple. I knew if he got me out of there I was dead meat. I then felt a burst of energy. I stopped on the guy's foot and thruster my body forward. The Bo staff snapped in half, and I broke free. The two other guys charged at me. I clutched my fists to my chest then thrusted them both out when the guys were in range. When they collided with my fists a blinding flash of light came out of them. After that we all collapsed, including myself. The last thing I saw was a man come and picked me up.
Should I end it here? Nah. It's too short, and also I promised you some secrets revealed. So on with the chapter!
I woke up in a chair. I wasn't tied to it or anything so I jumped up and ran to the door.
"Jack relax. You're safe here" I turned around and saw Professer Hituchesen. Then I looked around. I was in his office.
"You...what happened?" I asked him.
"Jack. It seems that you are old enough now, to handle this, and I think the time being. It seems right"
"What are you walking about!? Who were those guys?! And what is my inner power?!" I started flipping out.
"Jack. Relax. Sadly, I do not have a full answer for you. There are some things I don't even understand"
"Yes. Get on with it"
"Your physical gifts don't come from you. They are an inner power. A power more powerful then the most powerful then the most powerful thing on the planet"
I was dumbfounded. An inner power?!
"You mean to say that all the karate training I've done since I was four years old was for nothing. I already knew that stuff?!"
"Yes" Professor Hituchese answered.
"While we're here is there anything else I don't know?! Was u abducted by aliens? Is darth vadar my father? Am I a merman?"
"Actually..." He started.
"Wait I'm a merman?!" I said in shock.
"No. I don't think so. There is a prophecy about you though"
"Well show it to me!" I shouted at him. I was tired of the secrets. I wanted to know everything. Professor Hituchese stood up and gestures for me to follow him. We left his office and walked down the hall. We left the building. It was still dark outside. He led me into the temple. He lit a torch ad led me to a wall with ancient Japanese symbols on it.
"What does that say?" I asked.
"It says,
A boy by the name of Jack,
Shall come to Otai,
Along with his inner power,
He will get into fights,
He will win all fights,
He will save Otai,
And the world,
From the ancient evil."
"Wait. So that's about me?" I asked.
"Yes. We knew it once we saw you. That you were the one. That you had to come here"
That was a lot to take in. I'm suppose to save the world, I'm 14! I looked at the symbols again then ran out of the temple. Back to the pipe. I climbed it then jumped back into the shower. I quietly opened the bathroom door and slipped under my covers. I then realized how tired I was. I easily drifted off to sleep.
I woke up from an awful dream. It was what had happened last night, except, they took me away. I got up and got dressed. I brushed my teeth and hair then left the room. I went into the common room. There was nobody there. I looked at the clock above the door. It was six am. I left the common room and took the back way downstairs. The cafeteria was mostly empty except for a few kids at the karate table. They're color was blue. They seemed nice enough but I was still going to sit at my own table. I picked up a plate and went over to the waffle bar. I picked up a fat Belgium waffle and put Nutella on it. I put some strawberries, blueberries, and bananas on the waffle. I folded it in half then moved on. I got an apple and a glass of water. I sat down at the table and took a bite out of it. It was the best waffle I had ever put in my mouth. Now I understand why everyone made a huge deal over the waffle bar.
When I was about halfway through my waffle Amy came down. She got her food then sat down across from me.
"Hi Jack" she said. Stabbing her pile of scrambled eggs.
"Hey Amy" I responded. We continued eating in an awkward silence.
"So. Do you like the waffles?" She asked me.
"Love" I said with a mouthful of waffle. Then there was an awkward silence. I finished my waffle and moved on to the apple.
"So how long have you been going here?" I asked her.
"About 2 years. If I were you, I'd take judo, Tai Kwon Do, and Kung Fu"
"I don't know what I'll take. I'm gonna think about it" I said back. Then I heard the back door open. Jeng Chi, and Asher came through. They got plates and went to get food. They came and sat down next to me.
"I think I'm gonna go eat somewhere else" Amy said once Jeng Chi sat down. I really want to know what happened between them. I finished my apple and stood up.
"I'm going to go get another waffle" I said and I walked over to the waffle bar. I got another waffle, this time with butter, syrup, and three pounds of whipped cream. I went back, sat down, and started eating.
"You hungry man?" Jeng Chi asked.
"Yes. And tired. I barely slept last night"
"What time did you come in?" Asher asked.
"Three am" I told them yawning.
"Why were you out that late?" Jeng Chi asked.
Then I saw Kai walk in alone.
"I'm gonna go find out" I said standing up. I walked over to Kai. Jeng Chi tried to stop me but I just ignored him.
"Hey Kai. Where were you last night?"
"Why do you care?" Kai asked me while getting his breakfast.
"I was just wondering why you lured me to the temple then attacked me"
"I was sleeping. Why would I attack you again when you embarrassed me earlier?" He asked me while stabbing a waffle way too hard.
"Revenge. Or to be embarrassed in front of just me"
"Really Jack? Really?" He asked me, then he left and sat down at his table. Now I feel like an idiot. Dumbfounded, I want back and sat down. I poked my waffle, wondering who had attacked me. The cafeteria started filling up. Nyching and Jeoug Soo came down hand in hand. It was killing me to know who attacked me, so I got up, threw out my breakfast, and left the room. I was heading toward the temple when Professor Hituchese caught up to me. Jeng Chi was with him.
"Jack. Please, just forget about last night. Jeng Chi is going to show you around"
"Ok. Lets go" I said. Jeng Chi started walking away. I stopped next to Professor Hituchese and said,"I will not be able to forget about last night"
Then I ran to catch up with Jeng Chi. I had to abandon my investigation so I wouldn't get lost. That's always a good thing. He showed me a lot of the back ways to things, he said that I'll get there quicker.
"Just stay with me for like the first week so I don't get totally lost"
"Sure. Anything for a friend."
Then there was an awkward silence I we walked down a back hallway. Then Jeng Chi asked,"what did Hituchese mean when he said forget about last night. What happened last night?"
"Oh. Nothing. Just Kai." I told him covering up. I didn't want to tell him. He bought it and we continued down the hallway.
When we finished the tour it was almost dark out. I considered waiting until tomorrow, but u couldn't. I'd be choosing classes all day. I went back to my room and pulled out my backpack. I just had an urge to open the drawer of my nightstand, even though I had put nothing in it. I pulled it open and gasped. First because the drawer a A LOT bigger then it looks. You could fit a 4 year old in there. Inside was a pocket knife, a flashlight, a coil of rope, a harness. I don't know who left them, or why, by they would come in handy. I piled all the stuff into my backpack and slipped my cell phone into my pocket. I went back into the bathroom, and into the shower. I opened the window and climbed out. I closed the window and ran across the roof. I put the harness on and tied the rope to it. I tied the other end to a smoke pipe on the roof. I threw the rest of the rope over the side of the building then I stepped off it. I walked down the side of the building then jumped onto the ground. That was definitely easier then climbing the pole. I took off the harness and ran to the temple.
When I got there I took out my flashlight. Before going inside I shined it around. I didn't see anyone so I went inside. I examined all the doors and around them for anything that might hint who those people were. There was nothing. I just decided to give up. I took one last survey of the area with my flashlight. I saw something shine under the destroyed nun chuck shelf. I ran over to it. I looked through the debris and found what looked like a belt buckle, but it wasn't a belt buckle. I picked it up and shined the flashlight on it. I didn't see anything on it. I decided to take it anyway. I ran from the temple and back to the school.
I put the harness back on and climbed up the building. Once I got to the top I packed up my backpack and ran back to my window. I opened it and jumped down into the shower. Then I heard running water. Then I heard someone knock on the door.
"Nyching! Get out of the bathroom!" I'm pretty sure it was Asher, said.
"No! I've gotta shower!" Nyching shouted back. I quickly grabbed the window frames and pulled myself out of the window just as Nyching got into the shower. I didn't like that image so I quickly, but quietly closed the window. I sat down next to the window and opened my phone. I heard the water start going then I started playing Candy Crush again. Still stuck on level 65. I just realized. I would have to wait until both Asher and Nyching were asleep before I could sneak in through the bathroom. And who knows how long that would be. I stood up and went across the top of the building. I found a window that led to the dining room. I opened it and dropped inside. Dinner was still being served. I grabbed a plate. There wasn't much left. I took a large turkey leg and a few sushi rolls. I sat down alone and ate. The cafeteria was empty. I looked at my watch. It was 10:59. Oh crap! I grabbed the turkey leg and ran out the back door. I charged up the stairs and down the hallway. I jumped through the door just as my watch turned. Everyone was staring at me. I guess I looked kinda weird. I had a half eaten turkey leg in my hand and I just dove through the door. I stood up and walked to my bedroom.
Once inside I threw the turkey leg out and washed my hands. Then I opened my desk drawer. That's where I had put the belt buckle. I took it out and looked it over. It was still just a blank, silver, belt buckle. Nothing out of the ordinary about it. I shone it directly under the light. The light reflected back and shone in my face. I dropped the belt buckle on the floor and rubbed my eyes.
"You ok man?" I heard someone I ask. I turned around. It was Asher. Nyching was with him.
"Yeah fine" I said, blinking rapidly.
"What's this?" Nyching asked, holding up the belt buckle.
"That-that is nothing" I said grabbing it. I threw it back in my desk drawer.
"Well obviously it's something" Asher said.
"Come on Jack! You can tell us!" Nyching begged.
"Fine" I said, "but you can't tell anyone"
"Got it" they both said.
"Ok, so last night someone, it could have been anyone, attacked me in the temple. They left this behind" I said, holding up the belt buckle,"now I'm trying to figure out who it belongs to, it's totally blank, I've shone it under the light and everything"
"Have you tried a UV light?" Nyching asked.
"Nyching" I started,"where are we going to get a UV light?"
"Amy has one" Asher said.
"What room is Amy in?" I asked.
"Twenty-three. She rooms with Jeong Soo. Go on. Just be careful. If you wake her up, she'll be moody"
"Right. Ok. So room twenty-three, and don't wake her up?" They both nodded.
"Ok. I'm going in" I said standing up. I walked out the door and down the hallway. When I got to her room I lightly knocked on the door.
"Amy?" I whispered. I heard someone get out of bed. She walked over and opened the door. It was dark inside and she had her phone in her hand.
"What do you, oh. Hey Jack" she said.
"Hey Amy. Is there any chance I could use your black light?" I asked her.
"Why do you need to use my black light?"
"It's a long story"
"What's a long story?" I heard someone ask. I looked past Amy and saw Jeoug Soo getting out of bed.
"Captain mysteries here, needs to use my black light" Amy told her. I smiled
"Why?" Jeoug Soo asked.
"It's a long story. A long story Jack is gonna tell us" Amy said with her arms folded.
"Ok. Fine. First you've gotta promise you can keep a secret"
The girls smiled at each other,"we promise"
"Ok. Lets go inside. Don't need anyone overhearing" I told them. We went into the bedroom and Jeoug Soo turned on the light.
"Ok. So last night some guys attacked me in the temple. They left this behind" I said holding up the belt buckle,"Asher and Nyching caught me with it and Nyching suggested I use a black light. Asher said you had one so here I am"
"Oh Nyching is so smart" Jeoug Soo said.
"Stop with the lovey dovey Jeoug Soo. I understand he's your boyfriend but not around me"
"Oh you haven't wanted to talk about love since you and Jeng Chi broke up! You used to talk about it all the time"
"Well now I know love is a cruel thing that will only hurt you" she said,"come on Jack. I'll show you the black light"
Amy guided me to her desk. She turned on a lamp. A blue light shone onto the desk. I slid the belt buckle under the light. Nothing. I flipped it over. Still nothing.
"Damn! I really thought I'd find something" I said disappointed. Then someone knocked on the door.
"Quickly Jack! Get under my bed! You're not suppose to be in here!" Amy hissed. I got on the floor and slid under the bed. Then I heard Amy open he door.
Amy's POV(you weren't expecting that were you?)
After Jack slid under my bed I opened the door. Outside were two hooded figures.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Where is Jackson?" One of them aske. Their voices were disguised.
"Jackson who? Micheal Jackson? Because he's dead, I wish he wasn't though, he was a great..."
"SHUTUP! I am aware of Micheal Jackson's death. But please. You know which Jackson I'm talking about. Jackson Brewer." He hissed the part. I looked at Jeoug Soo. She looked nervous. I don't understand why. We're black belts! Masters of 5 forms of martial arts. But I guess you could be a little nervous. I mean strange guys, in your bedroom, looking for your friend. A bit scary.
"I'll ask you one more time" the first one said, grabbing my arm,"Where. Is. Jackson. Brewer?"
Jack's POV
I heard the mechanical voices again. They were the guys that attacked me last night. I could only see there feet. Amy was trying to stall but she wasn't doing too well. I saw them backing up. I made the quick decision to help them. I slid out from under the end of the bed and stood up. I saw surprised at what I saw. One of the guys was holding Amy by the arm and the other had Jeoug Soo cornered in the corner.
"Jackson" the one holding Amy said,"it's. about. time."
"Let them go...hoodie guys!"
"Make us" he responded. I ran up and did a flying side kick into his chest. He went flying back. Jeoug Soo kicked the guys pinning her out into the middle of the room. She ran up next to us and we all took a stance.
"Bring it on, creeps" Amy said.
"Look. We don't want to hurt you two" the second guy said,"we just want Jack"
"He leaves. We leave." Amy said. Jeoug Soo nodded in agreement.
"You win this time Jack. But we'll be back" the first one said as they ran out.
"Nice one guys" Amy said.
"Wait. Where's the belt buckle?!" I asked. I ran out of the room. I saw the guys walking down the hall. I saw the belt buckle in one of their pockets. I walked slowly and quietly up behind them. I slipped the belt buckle out and I slid into my room. Asher and Nyching were waiting for me. Two minutes later Amy and Jeong Soo came in.
"Why are they here?" Asher asked.
"I don't care why they're here. I just care that they're here" Nyching said, taking Jeoug Soo in his arms. They started kissing we all turned around and pretended to barf.
"You guys done yet?" Amy asked. Nyching and Jeoug Soo broke apart and turned bright red.
"So there was nothing under the black night"
"Nothing?" Nyching asked.
"Absolutely nothing" Amy said.
"Might as well put this back" I said, walking toward my desk. Along the way I tripped over something and fell the belt buckle sprawled across the room.
"That's just great" I said sarcastically.
"No. Actually it is great. Look!" Jeoug Soo said, pointing at the belt buckle. It had broken open, and there was something inside.
Ha! Now I'm gonna make you wait a whole day to find out! Hahahaha! I'm so evil. Anyway, now Asher, Nyching, Amy, and Jeoug Soo know Jack's secret. Will Jeng Chi find out? That is a question I don't even know the answer to. So until the next chapter follow, favorite, and review! First person to review this chapter gets a sneak peel of chapter 5!
