What The Luck!? Chapter 242
Advertisement
"Come on then. Let's see what you can do now. I can already see you have bulked your muscle up a little." Coach Winters did not miss the fact that the gloves were weighted and that Art appeared to also have a second weighted shirt underneath his gym shirt. She was glad someone was working harder for more strength.
"Here I come." Art fell in to his stiff and straight stance. He was going to follow the previous advice and attack first to dictate the flow of battle.
Arty focused on the boxing techniques he had been learning first. He sent out speed jabs even though he had weights on his body. This was already impressive but not at all a challenge for coach Winters. She was too fast and easily able to block any hit, until he changed things up.
He used his super power to suddenly increase the speed of one hit after the other confusing her at his pace. This was a strategy he had received from many hours of watching his training videos at night when his friends thought he had been asleep.
Coach Winters easily adjusted to this and focused on to dodging more. She couldn't imagine how his punches were changing from such a powerful hit to a light jab. Luckily, she remembered his super power and surmised the make up of the gloves.
"Fancy tools you have there, but those gloves won't always be on your hands." With her speed coach Winters moved to Arts' side and unleashed a similar string of punches to match Art's technique.
"I can do the same thing without gloves! What about you? Can you control your body that well?" This wasn't a taunt by any means but a serious question she wanted Art to think about.

Instead of just sitting there and giving up Art copied the spin of Ashers' and turned to face her with a hard heel kick. His movements made the sound stiff but very efficient.
He may have lacked the force needed to take her down but it did force coach Winters to block.
But when Art tried to retract his leg he found that she had grabbed it and was stepping back and turning herself. This force caused him to lose balance and fall in to his back at her mercy.
"You have gotten stronger, but you lack control of your own body. Focus on that before you only focus on your super power." The advice was simple enough and something Art could easily work on.
"Jane, you are next." Coach Winters was not about to stop the momentum. She had one interesting student left and wanted to see what had changed.
"Can I be excused if I am late for my next class? My super power comes with a drawback I am not accustomed to yet." This question alone made coach Winters question what had changed. She could not recall this drawback in the student record.
"That is fine. I can give you a slip." At this Jane ran to the side of the gym and pulled out an adrenaline protein drink from a bag she had dropped there earlier. She needed a better method to have this when she needed it in the future.
"Switch to Adrenalin tablets. They will have a similar effect but no protein to help fix whatever you are about to do to your body." This suggestion was ideal for a super hero moving around in light weight gear. The only downside was the recovery would be slower.

"Thank you, I will look for some after school today." Jane was thankful for the instant solution to her problem. Truth be told, she had yet to look for anything other than the adrenalin protein shakes. Having another option was going to be much better. "Please prepare yourself." Jane gave the warning as she used her super power to its' full ability.
Coach Winters had expected a shifting ability since the adrenaline protein shake showed up. However, this did not diminish the surprise from Janes' change. " You definitely have more muscle mass like that and a tougher skin. Those nails are also a worry." Coach Winters was talking to herself more than anything so she could make a proper judgment.
She became stuck on the flowing hair that appeared to be alive like snacks but not actually doing anything. The effect alone would intimidate opponents if it was used correctly. But what really made Coach Winters wonder, was what changed in Janes' ability to stop people in place?
Jane did not warn any further and sped forward. She had much faster speed than before she left camp and was able to nearly match Coach Winters. However, the reflexes were not as developed as the veteran martial artist and her kick was easily countered.
Jane was not done yet though, she slashed out with her nails forcing Coach Winters to back off. This was an attack that Jane was getting more comfortable using and was glad to have an opponent that was so much stronger than her to test on. "Oh, trying to scratch? That may be allowed but is fairly dangerous. You should be prepared for equal reactions."
Coach Winters pushed forward and dodged the next kick from Jane. She was about to unleash a series of jabs to throw Jane off and tester her skin's defense, but Jane quickly flipped up her mask and froze Coach Winters in place.
Jane used this as a chance to kick out. Normally turning her face like this would just free anyone affected by her gaze but with her shifted form it slowed the affected person significantly after they were released. This alone gave Jane the perfect opening to kick Coach Winters in the chest and send her rolling back.
In a few seconds, coach Winters returned to her normal speed and had stood back up heading back at Jane. "That is an interesting trick, but don't think I need to see you to take you out." She pushed forward and swept a leg under Jane causing her to hit the ground. In second coach Winters had Jane pinned. No matter what she tried her strength only seemed to cause the grip to become tighter on her.

Contact First
2039 - Earth A narrow beam energy signal appeared aimed squarely at earth from the TRAPPIST system. The communication consisted of a layered set of repeating data over several thousand wavelengths. Over the next few months scientists discovered that the lower wavelengths carried an encoded numerical language which could then be used to interpret the more complicated messages carried on the higher wavelengths. After half a year of painstaking work the signal was fully decoded. It described a small satellite launched along a precise trajectory towards the fourth planet of our solar system. Included was a package of advanced research that humanity would need to have ready in order to receive the satellite and decelerate it safely. The alien data provided the kick that humanity needed to turn from petty squabbling and unite to explore the final frontier. Major government and corporate leaders worked together to create the framework for the United Federation of Sol. UFS spaceports went from scaffolding to daily launches in every major city around the globe. Ships floated like dandelion seeds, spreading on solar wind to grow into colonies. 2397 - Mars orbit, Egeria Station The command center was a hive of activity as checks were conducted and systems initialized. Scientists flitted by like mayflies as communicators beeped and holoscreens spat out green tinted readouts. Nervous energy was thick in the air as everyone anticipated the culmination of over three hundred years of work. Massive fusion reactors under the planet's surface thrummed with barely restrained power as energy fed into a gleaming metallic maze criss crossing the planet. Metal fingers reached up, overshadowing the mighty olympus mons and trying to grab the stars. All over the solar system, people quickly turned to look as gigantic energy lances shot from the dusty fourth planet. Two years later. The same people that clapped loudly at the successful activation of project Hermes now wait with baited breath. A silver capsule trailing bright photonic sails is captured by a net of grav beams and guided with care bordering on reverence into the station. Holoscreens across the headquarters project an image of the sleek craft settling in the bay. Data connections are established and the holoscreens blink to white. Slowly an image forms on the screen. Across the headquarters people stare in wonder as a wholly alien face stares back. "Contact established. Welcome to the universe."

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write.
