Rinus Bolt was a newly graduated reporter. He was top of his class when he was in college and was also the most popular man in the whole school. He had a perfect look allowing him to be the blue-eyed boy. He was all tall, blonde, and handsome. His superpower was ‘lights!”

He could bend the lights to change their color. It allowed him to adjust the light as he wished. Thus, he had the best shots when he was shooting. He could make the background darker to clarify his image, and he was a good story writer too.

However, since he graduated from college, his luck turned sideways. No channel wanted him, and his worshippers from college no longer answered his calls. It was as if the world had forgotten him.

As the once apple of the eyes, he couldn’t take it. He was blessed with everything.. He got the look, skill, and power, which can make him shine more than anything. He was the lead, the prime. Not a street clown. But a hungry stomach listened to no persuasion. He became the street performer with the powers he had to pass the day.

Rinus looked at his reflection when he passed by a shop. He was wearing a stupid costume with a stupid mask. He was nowhere close to the glorious self when he was in college. He thought of suicide many times, but in the end, he beared with it.

When he was passing by the hospital close to his house, he noticed a teen in a hood. His instincts warned him about potential news, but he didn’t know where it was.

He then looked at the hooded teen and noticed him raising his head. He followed his sight and saw the flying shuttle speeding towards the hospital. He fished out his camera in less than a second and aimed at the flying shuttle.

The hooded teen standing between them was just background decor. His main target was a speeding shuttle, but all of a sudden, something amazing appeared on the scene.

The teen he deemed as background suddenly became covered in dark-reddish liquid. The liquid enveloped all over his body, and only his eyes could be seen. Rinus tried to capture his face, but the armor didn’t let him.

He saw the teen rooting his feet to the ground, his arms reached out. The flying shuttle hit him head-on but the impact wasn’t enough to move the teen.. He didn’t even take a step back as blood seeped through the armor. Crackings of bones were so loud they reverberated, it could be heard from where Rinus was standing.

The teen then used his last power to swing the shuttle towards the parking lot's direction. It crashed with other vehicles, blowing off some in the process.

Rinus used his powers to amplify the effects of the explosion. In the camera’s screen, it was at least ten times stronger than what was happening in the real scene.

It was then that three men got out of the shuttle. They were carrying the basic uniform of the infamous Starve Cleric.

Rinus used his ability to darken the environment, so only the three men and the teen in bloody armor could be seen.

The three assailants wanted to go around the teen on the ground, but then he stood once again and blocked the attackers' way.

The attackers, with no other choice, pulled out their weapons and fired bullets against the teen.

Rinus recorded every piece of detail with his ability. He adjusted the lights to create the maximum effect. Especially how they charged their monster orbs and how they fought. In the end, the teen lost the battle against the three and collapsed to the ground.

Rinus was dampened. He wanted the teen to fight to the death. Only then, the story he was shooting would be more interesting. His prayers were then answered, and a blue light surrounded the maroon armored teen.

A 3-meter radius of strong electric current was released from the armored teen's body. Rinus thought it to be the teen’s superpower. Because earlier, armor surrounded the teen’s body without pulling out the orb, which was an indication of Psychic Element.

The electricity was effective and knocked the attackers to the ground. Then one of them shouted to use superpowers, but before they could, flying cars were seen on the horizon. “ The army is here!”

It was then one of the three attackers pulled out a strange device. He kept it on hold in one hand, while his other two companions used fire and electric based superpowers to charge it. As they continued to unleash attacks, they noticed the predicament they were in. Nothing was happening to the device.

Rinus felt his back going cold. The potent ever-increasing energy in the device was forcing him to run for his life. When he saw the teen running away, he was sure that the device was dangerous. His guts told him to retreat immediately. He tried to capture the teen on screen. But he wasn’t sure if he should follow him or capture how the attackers got their asses kicked by the army.

He decided to stay and capture the whole scene.

When flying cars were still speeding, he saw one of the doors open. A handsome man with dark hair and blue eyes jumped out of the car. He drifted in the air, and sped towards the trio. When he was some distance near them, he pulled out an orb, turning it into an armor that covered his body. An invisible force was then released. It reached the trio, halting their attacks from charging the strange device. It suddenly shook. A white light burst, blinding their eyes.

Rinus recorded a series of lightning and fire, blasting the trio into ashes. When he captured the scene, it was soundless. The potent power of the explosion was enough to destroy half of the hospital, but it was confined in a small space around the three attackers. In no time at all, the sudden displosion came to an end. The three attackers were nowhere to be seen.

Rinus trembled on his knees. He distanced himself away from the area in fear of getting caught in the explosion, but the blast was stopped by an invisible barrier.

He then focused on the armored man, who removed his helmet, looking in the direction of the maroon armored teen who escaped before they arrived.

Rinus got stunned with mouth agape when the man undid his armor, revealing his face.

“Oh my god! It's Malcolm Cross!”
