-March 2, 2018-

It was a bit breezy out but overall still warm enough to not wear snow clothes, but still wore jackets just in case.

Lincoln was looking at a wanted posters on the side of the bus stop shelter, especially the wanted of a man he personally knew. "So that's his full name? That must be such a mouthful." Lincoln thought.

Lincoln fought Aceterminator a couple weeks back, he was a jerk. Nobody would want to go up against him, unless they're One-Eyed Ja- Er, Ace Savvy now.

Okay, no more standing around, Lincoln stops looking at the poster and goes around the shelter. Lincoln wore blue jeans, gray socks with blue and red stripes, and white sports shoes with red stripes, next was his upper area clothes, a white tank top, a red Ace Savvy tee-shirt, and a orange zip up jacket with the sleeves are black, and a official Jack Of Spades backpack.

Lincoln walked along the sidewalk, ONC High was like blocks away but he insisted on walking there. It's so he could meet up with one of his lifelong best friends. Stella Salonga, whom y'all saw in the first chapter.

This time Stella wore her normal clothes, she wore a one strapped backpack, a white and red lululemon define jacket with the zipper out, she wore a light blue shirt with a white star in the middle, a long black skirt, white knee-high socks, a knee high green converse sneakers, the wristwatch on her right hand was now visible.

After walking, he then sees his blonde haired friend, she waved at him, after he walks straight up to her, he and her give each other a secret handshake. After doing so, they walked together towards where the school is.

"So Stella, how've you been?" Lincoln asked his childhood friend.

"Been fine, though after that little incident two days ago, Mom insisted on walking to the school and back home afterwards, i had to convince her to let you to do that instead." Stella explained.

"So, I have to walk you back home from now on?"

Stella nodded, Lincoln smiled.

"Well that's chief Salonga for you but that's great! That way I could spend more time with you before my duty calls."

Stella giggled. "You said duty."

Lincoln chuckled with her. "You're such a child."

"So are you."

"That's true." Lincoln agreed.

"So, Lincoln. Who's this girl you've been seen with, for the past week? She your girlfriend?" Stella had a smug smile after saying that last bit.

Lincoln noticed her smiling, he blushed in a bit of embarrassment. "Uh, Uh no! No she's not, she's my friend, we're just crime fighting partners, since... Uh we were eleven... Hold up, you've just now noticed?"

"Sorry. But still, I seriously doubt that, I think behind the public's eye, I think she would bend down and give you he-"

"Stella!" Lincoln's face was redder than Ronnie's hair.

"I'm just joshing you. I bet she's beautiful." Stella blushed at the thought of Ronnie Anne even though she doesn't really know what she looks like til she sees her first-hand.

Lincoln smiled, he knew that look, looks like she found herself liking another girl.

"Of course she's beautiful. You're going to love her, she has a wonderful personality, her being a latina. Being a redhead." Lincoln listed.

Stella mindlessly listened to his words, already thinking of her. Lincoln looked ahead, then he looked back at his best friend. "Well there she is, Stella. Feast your eyes on her."

Stella looked forward, the sight she saw was lovely, she stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes widen and looked like she was about to have a nosebleed, she wondered dost her eyes deceive her?

Ronnie Anne had dark tan skin, red hair worn in a ponytail, freckles on her cheeks, and two buck teeth that stick out of her mouth. She wore a purple and yellow zip-up hooded sweatshirt with a 'R' and 'W' on the center, blue jean shorts, a white tank top, and purple shoes with yellow socks worn high... Oh my gosh, this girl was beautiful.

So much so, that Stella had a nosebleed, she had come out of trace to cover her nose to make it stop. Ronnie Anne walked up to them, she and Lincoln shake hands.

"How are you doing Ronnie?" Lincoln asked.

"Started off to a good start. Mom didn't suspect a thing about last night."

"Yeah, she doesn't need to know."

"What are you guys talking about?" Stella asked, confused to what they were talking about?

Ronnie Anne was more worried about to who this skank was. "Who are you?" she asked.

"Oh! Ronnie, this is my best friend Stella, don't worry, she knows my secret and is keeping it safe."

Stella blushed and simply waved at Ronnie Anne.

Ronnie Anne did a big sigh in relief, she thought this girl was just a random person who overheard their conversation. Ronnie waved back at her and just walks into the school they were in front of. Stella was just giddy of meeting a cute girl of the latina. Lincoln puts his hand on Stella's shoulder.

"Sorry to disappoint, but she's what you call... A straight card." Lincoln broke the bad news.

"What's that mean...?"

Lincoln just looked at her as she put two and two together slowly. It took a few seconds till Stella figured out what he meant, the results was the disappointed "oh..." and facial expression. Lincoln pats her shoulder. "It's okay, there's plenty of fish in school. Especially a bunch of girls that might be L like your, bonus points for being in ONC City." There Stella gained a hopeful smile, he was right. "Thanks Lincoln."

"Don't mention it. Okay, it's almost time for first period, so we should probably go now."

"Yeah alright, okay."


Later

Later on, it was night time, Lincoln was on top of the school's roof, he had his mask beside him by his left hand. He was pondering... 'I miss you mom... Dad...'

Been months since their deaths and it's been the older sister's that's been taking care of them, despite getting over what happened the previous month, he still missed them... He wished he could've saved them... But if there's one thing of being a hero, it's that you cannot save everyone... Lincoln thought it'd be a matter of time before anymore people close to him would go next, whether it's his sister's, or Stella, or Clyde, or... Or Ronnie Anne... It's a lot on his mind...

However his pondering came to a stop once he heard a car...

He slipped on his mask and went over to check it out.

Ace went to another side of the roof and observed, he witnessed a van pulling into a nearby alley, definitely suspicious but he decided to stay put, see what they were trying to do, for all he knows, it could be harmless but he'd never know.


-Alleyway-

The black windowless van came up the alley and stopped, out comes a male, about late teens, wore a orangish yellow hoodie, white gloves and tennis shoes, orange jeans, and makeshift mask made out of a beanie and sunglasses, though he did wore a half face mask that included a voice changer. He wore metal gauntlets that were attached to a metal pack looking on his back, he also had metal boots that were also attached to the pack.

He held a note saying: 'Find the safe, recover the gem'. That was all it said, but he was given some proper instructions prior to arriving, so memory should serve here, he activated his gauntlets. In a city that actually has superheroes, now he was sort of doubtful that any of them would be around at this late, but he'd never know.


Ace witnessed the individual walking out of the alley... In those clothes and what appears to be gear on him? He's definitely a bad guy... Or good guy... Or girl... Nonetheless

Ace wanted to stop him right then and there... But then he realized... While honestly, he thought of Virtuoso Sharp nothing more than a crook, a villain wannabe. But what his father taught him is to never underestimate your enemies, this guy could be an associated with Sharp, so he decided to just observed and see what he was after, he turned around and ran over to an alternative enterance to the school: A vent. He opened it up and entered.


The armed individual blasted the doors open, small shards of glass were shattered on the floor, and the doors themselves had a bit of fire on them. The individual walked in and he walked around, he looked each room for a safe, didn't find anything. While all this happened, he had no idea he was being watched by our hero up in the ventilation system, he did have some small suspicion that he was being watched...

Eventually, he reached what appeared to be the principal's office, he entered and searched under the desk and he found a safe...

Not knowing the combination, he blew the safe door open...

In the process he made such a mess in the room, he looked inside and grabbed what he was after, he held it closer for inspection, it appeared to be to be a shard of a gemstone or a similar material, it was colored orange. He opened up a minuscule compartment on his belt and placed the shard inside. His gear powered up all of a sudden, the shard implying mystical nature. He smiled, now he had to report back to his employer.


Ace watched the whole thing from the vent, and it was only now he decided to take action, he moved out and opened a vent cover and exited out of the system.

The individual exited the room and then turned left towards the exit.

"Oh hello! Isn't a school night young man?" Ace Savvy asked in a jokingly manner.

The individual turned around to find Ace Savvy there. "I could very well say the same to you." He remarked. Ace pointed his right index finger towards him. "Who are you and why are you here?" Ace Savvy interrogated. "That's for me to know... And you to never." He pointed his gauntlets at him and fired his shard charged blasts at him.

Ace simply ducked from the blast and rolled towards him, stood in front of him, he jumps and knee kicks him in the chest, he landed and 360 crescent kicks him, this had no effect on the mystical individual, he simply charged up his right gauntlet and punches him, it was big enough impact to send Ace flying through the halls and hitting the lockers, the impact popped his right shoulder out of place. The individual stood at his place and was smug.

"I've heard: 'Beware The Ace Savvy'. That's humorous, I don't find anything to beware of than a young teen playing dress up."

Ace Savvy slowly stood up, he hit his shoulder on the locker to pop his shoulder back in place, it worked as he moved it around after a bit and grunting in small pain. Ace ran towards him, Individual charged both his gauntlets and pointed them at him and fired at him. Ace dodged the blasts left and right, he then grabs his beanie and pulled it down, blinding him. Ace then grabs his left gauntlet, with some effort, he crushes it a bit and detaches it from his hand and threw it away on the ground. Remembering from earlier, he pulled the tiny compartment open and takes the shard away from him. "I don't think this belongs to you. Yoink!" "Hey!"

Ace Savvy then he hastily turns him around, and started ripping wires off the pack, sparks were flying and not long after, it shut down completely. "NO!"

Ace then grabs him with both hands, picking him up and threw him left of him, Individual hit a window, cracking it and fell to the floor, dizzy. To him, yes, Ace Savvy Is Super Human, that theory's confirmed.

Ace Savvy walks over to him and picks him up to eye level. "Okay, who are you, who are you working for, and why do you need the thing you stole from that room." Ace Savvy asked. The Individual looked at him. "My name is MystBolt... Something I only now just came up. I work for someone by the name of 'Mr Virtuoso Sharp'."

Ace fist bumped at hearing the name. 'I fricking called it!'. "And I was assigned by him to recover the gem you took from me." Ace smugly smiles. "Well hoped you made you brief moments with it last..." Ace pulls a device and places it on his chest, it gave three rapid beeps before exploding... MystBolt had his eyes closed... He slowly opened them and saw that he was completely constricted by wires of sort, he struggles a bit, quickly finding it implausible to break out of, then Ace pulls out his grapple gun, he pulls out his grapple line, wraps it around him. "... Cause school's out for you." Ace joked.

Ace Savvy kicks him out the window, MystBolt then falls out from the second floor until he was stopped abruptly, he was now hanging, Ace then attaches the other end of the grapple to the metal edge of the window, as it was magnetic. Ace Savvy then facepalms and sighed. 'Really Linc? "Cause school's out for you"? That's so dumb! Gotta work on my quip game.' Ace then grabs another grapple line from his belt and reloaded his gun with it. Ace then looks at the damage; the broken window and the hanging struggling masked man, the messed up room of the principal's office, the broken doors and the glass on the floor, the fire on the doors seem to be put out. 'Hmm... This mean we'll have no school tomorrow? I doubt it, but hey, a boy can dream.' .

Ace Savvy walked out the school through the doors, he uses his grapple gun to move up to a rooftop, then he pulls out the shard and inspects it...

Then it hit Ace... He recognized it.


Over in a monitor room of sorts. Virtuoso Sharp saw the whole thing, MystBolt had a hidden camera on him... He felt extremely dissatisfied at the results.

"That's very disappointing... But no matter, I'll get my revenge soon enough, now let's see how this... 'Savvy Slayer' guy is worth paying."

Virtuoso Sharp was on a chair with wheels, he rolled to a computer window on a dark web, website. He was on an assassin page, and it seemed he found a worthy henchman...

Okay. Hi, I'm back, after a year of not writing, i'm back. I decided to rewrite this chapter: One, the attack on the school felt similar to a school shooting, I felt uncomfortable, Two, 2 OC's were featured in this chapter. I decided to dropped them permanently, Three, This was in need of a rewrite anyways. So yeah, if you can, give me your thoughts on the rewrite, give helpful criticism. Thanks. Gemintai out.
