Chapter 1:
And his Name was Todd
Mr. and Mrs. Collins slowly walked up to the crater. Only moments ago, something had flown over there house and crashed into the field nearby. The crater was very deep, but not as hot as it should have been. And down in the center of the crater a small metal pod slowly opened. And from it, they heard crying…
Fifteen years later…
"I'm off for school mom, see you later." And out the door went Todd. The school was about a mile from his house so he always ran, and every day he seemed to get faster and faster. Todd is 16, and a fire haired youth with muscles that bulged through his shirt. He had always been strong. So much so that some at school were afraid of him. Others were jealous of his skill. So many avoided him when ever possible, but he got used to it. The thing that frightened some was the fact that he tended to have a short fuse. . He did have some friends though. Nick didn't care about the fact that he was so strong. He thought that Todd was a nice and reasonable guy, and he knew that he could keep the temper calm most of the time.
"Hey Todd, what's up?" said Nick
"Oh, not much. How are you?"
"Same."
"Up for working out at the gym after school today."
"Sure, I will see you at three."
"You got it."
Classes never went well for Todd. He was just not much good at things like history and algebra. So he was always struggling to keep even a C average in his classes. The thing that always helped his gpa was his gym grade, and the fact that teachers treat him leniently since he was the starting quarterback for the football team. He was also the captain of the martial arts club, where no one could even touch him.
After class he headed for the gym, where he saw Nick was already there, and he began to stretch. The two went to the machines. Nick could never believe how much Todd was able to handle. He had been able to go up to 450 on free weights, and even more on some of the machines. Nick was lucky if he could get 250. He sometimes felt intimidated. But he knew that Todd was still his friend.
Then Brad came over toward them. Brad was the second string Q, and he always resented the fact that Todd was starter.
"So Todd, you think you are so tough, why don't you prove it to me in the ring? I have been waiting to fight you."
Todd had been expecting this for a while. He knew that Brad wanted to be starter, and Brad probably thought that if he could beat him up, it would make him starter. Not like it would happen.
"Fine man, whatever. If you want me to kick your ass like I do in sparring practice it is fine by me. But we do this right, got it. Hey Coach! We need you to ref a match for us."
"Sure Todd. The ring is set up. You want a point match or a free match."
"Just a free match coach. We want to settle some of our differences and this is a way to do it. We won't kill each other, I promise." He gave the coach a grin with that last statement. The coach understood full well what was going on, and he knew that there was no way he could stop this fight from happening, so he figured he would just let it, even if he already knew that Brad didn't have a chance.
The two guys got into there gis and they entered the ring. The teams never used gloves or headgear, they always fought with control, but this was a full contact fight. The coach checked both of them. Once he was sure that they were both ready he yelled, "BEGIN."
Brad dashed straight for Todd with a kicked prepped, but Todd easily side stepped it and sent a chop to the back of Brad's head. Brad fell like a ton of bricks. He slowly started to stagger to his feet.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"
"I just did."
"I am gunna kill you." And with that Brad charged at Todd with the intent of beating him senseless. Todd let him come, and just before he would have been tackled, he grabbed Brad by the front of his gi, leaned back and through him out the ring and beyond. Brad finally landed over 50 feet out of the ring. And he was not getting up. One of Brad's fiends went over to him, and could tell he was still breathing, but he was not conscious and he looked pretty bruised, not to mention a very large bump on the back of his head. "He should be okay, but I think we should get him to the clinic."
"Good. Get him down there." Responded the coach.
The coach walked over to where Todd was standing in the ring, not even breathing hard. The coach was gaping. He couldn't believe that Brad had lost that easily. It didn't seem possible. But there was Todd, not even scratched.
"Son, how did you do that?"
"I just did it that's all." Replied Todd.
"But that first hit, I didn't even see you dodge. One moment you were in front of him, the next, you were on his left. How did you do that?
"I moved, that was all. Well I'll see you later coach I think I had enough of a work out for the day. Later Nick."
"See you tomorrow Todd."
Todd decided that he would just walk home. Half way there he saw something really odd. A woman was standing on the side walk leaning against a tree. what was weird was that she was wearing a jacket that said Capsule Corp, and Capsule Corp is the richest company in the world. And only a few employees and family members ever wore that logo. She turned and looked right at him.
"Hi, are you Todd."
