Chapter 5- Day before the Day begins
"Well it seems it is almost time for the school dance, and school is reopening today!" Minion declared. He packed his things felling much better then he did that day he found out a small amount about himself. "If today is what Bobby told me it would be like then it is gonna be a blast."
Minion decided not to talk the bus; he was going to fly the best he could. Minion grabbed his backpack and started running and the he focused all of his thoughts on him gliding in the air. Concentrating his entire mind on his feet he leapt of the ground, and feel back on the ground with a merciless thud. "What the hell," Minion thought. He tried again, not worrying about his feet, just thinking about getting into the air. He lost track of how fast he was running. Soon his feet lifted of the ground. Before he knew it he was gliding higher and higher.
"Shea! This is a piece O pie! Or was it cake? Oh well. I can't wait to show Erica! Oh…damn it! She isn't going to see me after today ever… I'll visit her sometime."
Minion landed near his school and a group of thugs waited for launch money. "Just far enough for nobody to see me." Minion thought. The thugs move in closer to Minion and stared at him, finally one of them spoke, "Well, hand it over. You know the drill."
"Common and get it."
"If that's the way it's gonna go down no problem."
One of the thugs charged in at Minion, his arm raised ready to fight. Minion stood steady, until he was just in range, then with one strike Minion sunk his arm in the thug's abs. His mouth dropped, his eyes bloodied, and he fell to the tar unaware of what just happened.
"No way." Said the impressed leader, not knowing what he was about to get himself into. "Just luck, try me on eh?"
"You're making a mistake, but it is your life, this time I will kill." Minion warned.
"AARRRHHHH!!" The leader of the group charged the same reckless way that his underling did.
"Bad mistake!" Minion quickly went into a box chamber stance (his legs moved into the shape of a box, both bent equally) and then he prepared to use a spinning back hock kick, he moved his foot to his knee, quickly turning his back to the charging moron and sprung and kicked. The leader was hit in the jaw, dazed. Minion fallowed up with a well-placed backhand strike to the face, the thug was hit about three feet back wards and fell to the ground.
"I'm not done with you!" Minion yelled as he leapt forward towards the downed thug, his arm poised to kill. But then Minion stopped right by the thugs face.
"You're… You're not human!" the crazed leader yelled.
"Well just between me and you, your right." Minion said with a look in his eyes. "But then that's the last thing you'll ever hear. Good night." Minion threw his hand up then down, mashing his hand into the thug's face.
The rest of the gang scattered. Minion walked quietly to school. Hands in his pocket, he wondered how he was so… comfortable with killing. He never really gave it much thought until now. He tried not to think about it, but it kept running back into his head.
Then a madding thought stopped Minion in his tracks, his body shacking, heart pounding. He blinked and saw an image of a young warrior, standing proud. For some reason this boy scared Minion to his knees. Then a sudden blast pounded into the boy's chest. Minion awoke from his daze with a snap. What was that blast? It was so bright, seemingly of full of energy?
Minion arrived at school on time and proceeded through school until his math teacher started yelling at him for being late to class:
"Where were you? I am afraid you will have to get a late slip, you should be on time!"
"Fuck off." Minion said as he took his seat.
"What was that?" the teacher said sharply to Minion.
"Fuck off. Or do you old hags need hearing aids?"
"You just earned your self a weeks worth of detention and a call home. And ill alert the headmaster if you don't take your seat and behave like a gentleman!"
"Call all you want." Minion said sort of feed up.
Math went on slowly, but minion didn't mind, he was trying to use his power to see through clothes. It was working very much…
*************
Minion's attitude had changed so much after he discovered his new powers. He started to thing why he didn't kill everyone and take over the world. No one was possibly stronger then him he thought. He decided not to try to rule the world because a small thought of Bobby being stronger then he popped into his mind. He seemed so calm when he was using his powers. Natural even, like he was born and raised with this strange power, like he had seen this kind of power before.
Something else came into his head…Dance. That was his pick up. The school dance, the last place Minion would ever see Erika, as a guarantee. Tomorrow…
