C4 Chapter 4: Mother

Everyone at the scene was completely shocked by what just occurred.

A man with glowing purple eyes had just shown up from nowhere and pushed their car 'gently' with his leg, in the process killing eight men including the black-suited leader gruesomely.

Also claiming to be some god or something. Teddy and the rest of the armed men were completely flabbergasted. But seriously, no one would react to a man pushing a car out like it was a weightless skateboard normally.

"Hmm, I've already suppressed my strength so much. Everything just feels like cardboard these days," Jurdelious muttered to himself.

If other people heard him, they would most likely piss their pants. How much of his strength was he suppressing and how strong was he exactly?

Teddy and the rest of the men stood rooted to the spot, "what! wait... what just happened?" he said as his mind tried to explain what he just saw.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Jurdelious voice woke him from his stupor. " Normally, I would take part in the carnage you cause, but this time... " He looked at the men with an uncaring but also menacing smile,"... Let's just say you were born early. No war can happen in this country, at least not yet. "

When Teddy heard the last part, he immediately discarded all thoughts. As a former military personnel turned mercenary, he was very familiar with resistant forces.

An enemy was in front of him, one that wanted to actively foil their plans. There was only one ending for this kind of person.

"Waste em." the men didn't need to be told twice. The suited men brought out handguns while the armored men aimed their rifles at Jurdelious.

*RATATATATATATA.....*

The sounds of guns being fired with no restraint filled the night but they were doomed to be disappointed.

Jurdelious watched calmly as bullets rained on him but he just remained in the same position as the bullets just bounced off his body, even his clothes remained undamaged.

His expression did not change but the glow in his eyes increased in intensity.

*sigh*

With arms behind his back, his feet left the ground. He floated upwards with small pieces of stone following along until he was three meters off the ground. He gave off an oppressive feeling as he stood midair.

The men down below were now filled with true terror. This man kicked a car with such force that it broke through a wall, he stood there tanking bullets like it was a breeze, and now he's flying like those comic book characters. It was kinda cool, but the way he was looking at them like they were dead meat was what scared them.

*ZTZTZTZ..*

Two purple beams of energy burst out of his eyes with explosive force. Before anybody could react, four of the armed terrorist men were turned to ash.

*silence*

Teddy was stunned, what was going on this night? But he wasn't the leader of this terrorist group for nothing, In an instant, he made a risky decision.

"Fire!" he shouted. In this weird scenario, only their firearms could give them a sense of confidence. Another rain of bullets once again hit Jurdelious.

Using the opportunity, probably hoping that this self-proclaimed god was distracted, he opened one of the crates in front of him revealing a rocket launcher. Loading the rocket in, he aimed like a professional and launched, all of this happening in less than five seconds.

*FWOOSH!!* The rocket flew out leaving a fiery smoky trail behind it.

As the rocket got close to Jurdelious, to him, time seemed to slow down in his perspective.

When the rocket was in front of him, it just stopped in mid-air. The rocket wasn't the only thing that stopped though.

He simply stretched out his hand and grabbed it. It wasn't that time slowed down, it's that Jurdelious was just too fast.

He aimed the rocket downwards right in the middle of the shocked and frozen men.

*BOOM*

Teddy, thinking that his diversion worked started to rush to a car and heard the sound of an explosion. Not bothering to check on his men because of the lingering fear which had sprung up inside of him. He immediately got into the car and drove off.

*ZTZTZTZ...*

The zapping sound that mixed with the cries of his men allowed him to guess their fate. But he didn't look back, gritting his teeth he sped away.

...

Jurdelious looked at the piles of ash and dead bodies on the ground then glanced at the speeding car that was moving further away.

"Giving him a false hope? well, I tried it and I won't lie, it's kinda interesting" As he said so, he flew towards the old lorry on the ground.

Placing his right hand at the side, he gripped the edge of the truck. His fingers pierced into the metal body like it was paper causing a cranking sound to echo out.

He flexed his arms, raising the car, the way one would raise a pillow, and like a frisbee, he threw it towards the moving car in the distance.

...

Teddy had already noticed a large object moving towards him through the side mirror. He wasn't going to escape this, he just knew it " is this how I die, I don't even understand what is happening..."

He calmly closed his eyes and let whatever was coming come.

...

Jurdelious watched as an explosion went off in the distance. "That seems a bit overkill."

None of the men present that night knew the cause of their deaths

*a Few weeks later*

Al'ravee and his 'Cousin', Ris, could be seen sitting in a black car with the latter in the driver's seat.

" You've been quite jumpy.". Ris said as he kept his eyes on the road.

Al'ravee rolled his eyes inwardly. Of All people to come to pick him up from school, it just had to be his cousin. The one who he hadn't even met the uncle or aunty responsible for bringing him into the world.

His father looked threatening even when asleep with his buff appearance while this cousin of his looked like he had been an athlete for a long time. '. Is it in the genes? Was I adopted?'

" Honestly I don't know, maybe I need to go to some mental hospital or something" He spoke out jokingly.

Ris looked at him as if whatever was in front of the still-moving car had no meaning. Al'ravee didn't notice though, his head was kept down."Do you know why?" Said Ris.

Al'ravee remained silent for a moment. 'Please don't say hormones or puberty.'

" Hehe, hormones obviously." Ris reminded him.

Al'ravee finally said something."Just stop. If you call having a verbal challenge with my teacher hormones, then you must not be from this planet." Ravee said unceremoniously.

Before Ris could interject though, Ravee continued talking. Starring at the teacher as he talked... It just put me off..... I was genuinely irritated by just looking at him. I felt a need, an urge...to completely shut him up..... no, it's kinda hard to explain. It was just too strong, it felt like I was going insane.... like I was right to do what I did..... "

" Hmm, already this intense huh?" Ris murmured to himself. " And you decided that the best way to handle whatever that was, was to start a verbal assault, Kinda sounds like the outburst of an overly emotional teenager. And you earned yourself suspension".

Al'ravee remained silent. Ris looked back in front of him before finally smiling.

" You know... Your father once had the same problem". Ris said. "It's not like I was there. My 'father' told me."

Al'ravee looked at him with one eyebrow raised in a questioning gaze, something he had learned from his mother. " So this is actually not my fault, I actually inherited it, wait so this runs in the family? Here I was thinking was adopted."

*cough*

Ris didn't answer him. " Your father had what you may call an unhealthy urge to break something in his early years. He could hardly hold something in his hand without testing if he could crush it.

Filled with youthful vigor, he would see a building and the first thing that would come to his mind was how to bring it down."

"Isn't that a bad thing?" Ravee said.

Ris paused as he recalled memories and smiled, before continuing. " Eventually he took advice from one of the few people he respected and started meditation. It helped him in being able to go on for years, but whenever he finally let loose... it wasn't even funny then."

Al'ravee tried to understand what he said.

"Wait, so this is hereditary, so my dad also had it, so I'm some kind of special guy huh, so all I need is some kind of Meditation," Al'ravee said with a smirk.

" Yes, yes, I don't know, and probably the last one depends. It worked for your dad" Ris said while shrugging his shoulders.

In Al'ravee's mind, his father probably used to be some kind of overachieving demolition expert.

"Hmm, you said that he finally let loose, but I've known him my whole life and he was even in a bad mood when he accidentally spoilt the remote" Al'ravee said with one of those bored are-you-joking-with-me looks.

Ris just laughed. " Of course, the meditation isn't the only thing holding him down."

" Oh really, what could possibly stop him," Al'ravee said in a mocking tone, not entirely believing what Ris was saying. Have you seen that guy? seriously.

Ris smiled and replied. "Your mother."
