The Celestial Zone.21 Fan Fic Chpt 3: I'm an ESPer now!?

Blogger's Notes: OK, i had just finished the first 2 chapters in one day and now i am starting on the next just 30mins since i posted chapter 2. Now, the focus here is that i couldn't resist and had to write a conclusion to the ESP TERMINATOR's fight with the ESP Sharks. Hopefully, it will be appealing enough for all my Readers and Readers-to-be. Thank you in advance. On with the story!

30mins ago, we were left with the mysterious old man being introduced as the ESP TERMINATOR. Will the rest of the ESP Sharks face the same fate as their fallen member? Well then, enough with the suspense, (I hope =p) and let's read on.

"Heh... I don't know about you guys but i think we should...RUN!!!!!" screamed Strangler.

Agreeing that it was a good idea, the remaining ESP Sharks bolted in different directions.

"He cant possibly catch all of us right?" Gonda shouted.

"True, I am but just 1 man but......Porvur!! Chekov!! Stop 2 of them, i will handle the last one!" ESP TERMINATOR raised his voice.

There were flashes from the different corners of the alleyway and Gonda flew back to the scene together with the other ESP Shark(I will call him Bob since i am too lazy to create a proper introduction for him). Strangler was the only one left and the ESP TERMINATOR promptly gave chase. Obviously, Strangler was not much of a challenge since only moments later after giving chase, the was that familiar phrase and flash that signifies a sealing.

Recovering back to their feet, Gonda and Bob faced their unseen assailants. Activating their individual powers, they attempted escape only to get blown back, again. This time though, J.Jay knew how the were attacked. One of the assailants could use lightning and the other some sort of explosive power.

After being knocked back twice in a row by such powerful forces, the 2 ESP Sharks stared in the direction of the ESP TERMINATOR groggily. They knew that their time as ESPers is up. Raising his hand, the ESP TERMINATOR prepared to perform another sealing when he paused and asked:

"Now i am giving you a second chance. Will you reform now and do something worthwhile with your powers or would you rather lose them?"

"We will change!! We swear!! Don't take away our powers..." they begged.

Putting down his hand, the ESP TERMINATOR said:

"Then from now on, the ESP Sharks is no more. But if i catch any of you doing evil with your powers again, I will not hesitate to seal your powers away for good. Now go."

Scrambling to their feet, Bob and Gonda picked up Syd and Louie, running off in terror. All the while, J.Jay stared wide-eyed at the entire spectacle, awestruck. Raising a hand, the ESP TERMINATOR helped J.Jay to his feet and brought him home.

For the next few days, J.Jay had to recuperate in his own room, not allowed by the ESP TERMINATOR to leave his room. during that time, the one that brought him his food was this heavily build fellow who has a large scar on his left cheek and a missing right eye. This I believe everyone would have guessed by now is Porvur.

Despite his fierce look, Porvur was really very gentle and soft spoken to J.Jay. He tried to cheer J.Jay up by keeping him company until he had to run an errand for the ESP TERMINATOR, of which he would keep J.Jay company the moment he got back.

When J.Jay became fit enough to leave bed, he was surprised at the TERMINATOR's insistence that he should not leave his room. So one night, he decided to sneak out of his room and went downstairs. Seeing his living room light on, he crept closer. What he heard later shocked him to the core.

"But teacher, we have to leave for our next assignment! We are 4 days late already!" that harsh and arrogant voice belonged to Chekov.

"Yes, but we cannot leave him in the hands of the towns people. You saw what they can do to his young mind." Porvur countered.

"Still..." Chekov began.

"Enough, the both of you. Your voices will wake the boy. I agree that we are already late. However, considering the boy's potential, we cannot leave him as it is. I will honor his mother's dying wish, to bring him to his relatives home in Singapore to be cared for. " came the fatherly voice of the TERMINATOR.

"I don't care! I am not going to some stupid country! I want my mother now!" screamed J.Jay from behind the wall.

Stunned, the trio spun around to see a weeping J.Jay staring at them.

The TERMINATOR smiled and walked over to the boy. Kneeling down, he patted his head and said:

"J.Jay, mommy is no longer on earth, she has gone to heaven, a good place..."

"But why didn't she take me with her?"

"That's because she cannot. You have so many things to do before you can go to heaven."

"But i already don't have a daddy, now my mommy is gone!!" J.Jay wailed even more loudly.

"J.Jay, my name is Achilles...If u want, let me be your father in your daddy's place. OK?" Hugging the boy tightly, the TERMINATOR softly whispered into the boy's ears. Before long, they managed to put J.Jay back to sleep.

"I am afraid we will have to stay here a while longer..." Achilles said.

"No choice I suppose..." grumbled Chekov.

"I understand teacher...I will do my best to convince the boy to change his mind..." Porvur said.

Smiling, Achilles said:

"I leave it to you then Porvur."

For the next few days, both Porvur and Achilles tried to comfort J.Jay. Although touched by Achilles and Porvur's unwavering attention to him, J.Jay became increasingly introvert. His young mind now scarred by the cruelties of life.

One day, Achilles went up to J.Jay's room and told him:

"Do you still remember WTB?"

"You know him?" J.Jay's eyes lit up at the mention and the strange man from his past.

"Yes, he and I are good friends and i just spoke to him about you."

"What did he say?"

"He said that he still remembers his promise to teach you how to do that trick he showed you. And he wants me to teach you in his place." Achilles smiled and sat beside J.Jay's bed.

"Really, you are going to teach me!?" Excited, J.Jay leaped in his bed.

"Ha ha ha...this is the most excited I have seen you since 2 weeks ago." Achilles laughed.

"However..." he continued. "There is a condition."

J.Jay frowned.

"What condition?" he asked.

"If I teach you, you must agree to go to your relatives house in Singapore. In life, we must be fair even if others are not. 1 thing for another. Do you understand?" Achilles said sternly.

After a period of thinking, J.Jay nodded his head.

"Agreed. So what are we waiting for?" he jumped out of bed and got dressed.

"OK. But everything must start from the basics..." Achilles began. And so another 2 weeks passed and J.Jay moved to Singapore and and Achilles stayed with him for 1 year while WTB took over some of his duties in exchange.

After that 1 year was up, Achilles had to leave the boy, reluctant as the boy was as he had left his post too long. But not before telling the boy the sentence that would change his fate forever..."You are an ESPer now just like WTB and I."
