Inside the Gymnasium…
Kasumi stands on stage, she has the results of the voting polls.She looks nervous as she knows the situation:
"Okay guys, I am going to announce the winners of this year's Valentine’s Dance. Are you ready?"
"YYYEEAAHHH!!!" The crowd cheers with excitement, in the front, Aleister and Marjorie sit in the V.I.P table.In the back, Alejandro along with a purple haired girl sits worried for the results but he knows that something major is happening outside.
(CCCRRRAASSSHHH BBBBOOOMMM)
Outside the school building, a force field protecting the students is in place. In order to keep away the invading army of Sombras.Confronting the Sombras are three people; Jairo, Shion and Uriel….
"We must keep them away from the school…"Jairo says as he punches the Sombras who approach.
"I know...but they keep coming…" Shion replies as she casts spells with the help of her talisman.
(RRRAAAAWWW)
Dozens of Sombras charge towards the school, Uriel in his Charro form keeps attacking them one by one.
(SSSLLLAASSHHH)
"Shion, is your spell ready yet?"
"Just one more minute…"
Jairo continues to punch the Sombras; “I hope you’re ready, young Uriel...or otherwise we won’t hold long…”
Rain begins to fall with lightning striking down each second.
"I hope you're enjoying the party…"
"Damn you...Ian…" Uriel screams with anger, Ian has the hooded girl in his arms.
"Uriel Di Fiore...this will be your end…" Ian and Uriel charge with force clashing one more time…
(BBBBBBOOOOMMMM)
Kasumi opens the envelope with the names of the victor…
“Now then, here are you winners…”
(BADUMP BADUMP)
Alejandro and Valerie look at Kasumi. Alejandro closes his eyes as he thinks:
“I must win, or else, everyone will be expelled….come on…”
His heart beats faster as he wants to know the result, he feels very nervous that he only hears his heartbeat. Valerie grabs his hand tighter, he does the same as he thinks:
“WE GOT THIS, WE WILL WIN!”

Kasumi looks surprised as she says; “The winner of this year’s King and Queen of Valentines are…”
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
Alejandro hears the names, he opens his eyes and sees the crowd cheering, he looks at Valerie with tears in her eyes and she is looking at Kasumi, “Did I hear right?” Alejandro thinks to himself, Kasumi lowers her hand with the paper.
Alejandro looks at the paper with the names of the victors. His expression changes into a surprised one, however the names of the envelope are:
Aleister Lucifugus and Marjorie Bellerose
(YYYEEEAAAHHH)
The crowd cheers as the victors are Aleister and Marjorie. The couple goes up on stage and waves at the students.
“Thank you, thank you...we are so grateful that you chose us as your King and Queen, but let’s make a round of applause to Alejandro and Valerie who did their best to keep up with us.” Aleister says as everyone applauds the couple who lost.
-TCH- “It was obvious that they would lose...damn it…” Carlos says feeling rage, Chelsea looks worried as she replies; “Well, I guess we’ll be expelled…”
“Hahaha, serve him right...it’s great that Aleister won, right Uriel?” Victoria says to Uriel (Tiwa), he gets angry and let’s go of her arm aggressively as he says; “Shut up, you don’t know how hard Alejandro tried to win...but as I can see, you are only a selfish girl…”
“Wait, why are you saying that…”Victoria asks with tears in her eyes, Uriel (Tiwa) continues to explain; “I was right, you are an egocentric person and that’s why, Uriel will never go out with you…”
Victoria looks surprised. Uriel (Tiwa) walks away feeling angry as she thinks; “Damn it, I should’ve done more…”
Valerie cries as she says; “I’m sorry, I wasn’t good enough...and now you…” Alejandro wipes her tears away, and smiles; “Valerie, don’t feel bad, thank you for helping me...thank you for staying by my side...I swear to God that I am very happy that you chose me to be your partner…”

Valerie hugs him saying; “You dummy, I should be thanking you for choosing me…”
Alejandro takes out a piece of chocolate and says; “I wanted to give you this when we won...but tonight, I feel like I’ve won...happy Valentine’s day…”
Valerie takes it, and smiles at him; “Thank you…” Valerie kisses Alejandro’s cheek as a way of thanking him. Alejandro gets his face red, Uriel (Tiwa) sees them, his eyes fill with tears as he thinks; “Alejandro...why did you...choose her…”
Aleister looks at Marjorie; “It’s time to go, dear...the party’s over…”
“Ehh..why?” Marjorie looks at Aleister’s eyes who shine once again causing her to sleep. Aleister opens a portal and says; “This is going to get dangerous…”
(BBBBBOOOOOMMM)
A projectile hits the school destroying part of the wall, students begin to panic, “What’s happening?” Carlos and Chelsea look at the falling gruble, Victoria stands still looking at everyone running. A silhouette appears behind her and pushes her.
“Ouch, why did you…” She sees no one, and suddenly, a piece of the roof falls on top of her. “LOOK OUT” Uriel (Tiwa) pushes her away.
(CCCRRRAASSSHHH)
“Ouch, what happened here?” Victoria looks at something spinning towards her, it’s a ammulette that Tiwa had before. She grabs it and says; “What’s this...who pushed me…” Victoria soon freezes as she sees Uriel (Tiwa) below a column that fell from the ceiling.
Blood begins to come out as he is out cold. Suddenly, Victoria begins to have flashbacks of her parent’s death that night.
“NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!”
Alejandro sees Uriel (Tiwa), he runs towards her as he screams; “TTT III WWWAAA!” Valerie grabs his arm; “Wait…”
Valerie closes her eyes and lifts her arm, she releases purple mana as she chants; “Melodía de los Sueños” (Melody of Dreams)
(BADUMP)
Valerie releases purple waves that cover the entire gymnasium, suddenly, everyone falls asleep except for the members of HISTOREA.
Alejandro looks around thinking; “Incredible..she manages to put everyone to sleep…”
The shaking stops, Alejandro and Valerie run towards Tiwa who transforms back to normal.
Alejandro tries to lift the pillar; “COME ON, COME ONE...IT’S NO USE, I’M TOO WEAK!!”
Valerie is about to say something, however, Kasumi in her esper suit appears and stabs the pillar with her katana.
(BBBOOOOMMM)
The pillar shatters into many pieces. “SENPAI, WHAT DO WE DO?” Carlos and Chelsea run towards them. Chelsea sees Tiwa unconscious and runs towards her side; “TIWA, TIWA!”
“She will be alright...give me a moment…” Valerie puts her hand on Tiwa’s stomach, she releases purple manna as she chants; “CURACION” (Healing)
In a blink of an eye, Tiwa’s wounds heal completely and the blood she loses returns to her body.
“There’s no doubt that you are Maria’s daughter and Uriel’s sister…” Kasumi puts her hand on Valerie’s shoulder. Valerie smiles and replies; “Please don’t compare me with those two, compare them, I have a lot to learn…”
“My, oh my Kasumi, it seems that you are in a situation here…” Johanna, who is still awake, walks to them. Valerie looks at her and thinks; “The nurse, how did she avoid my spell?”
“Johanna, please take care of Tiwa, if this happens then that means, they need our help outside…”
“Very well...I have nothing else to do, besides...I don’t want that sexy Uriel to die so easily…”
Kasumi looks at Valerie and Alejandro; “You two, please stay here…”
Alejandro looks angry and replies; “But why? We can…” .
“NO IT’S TOO DANGEROUS! STAY HERE ALEJANDRO…”
“Very well…” Valerie answers to Kasumi. Alejandro has no choice but to also agree. Kasumi and her team leave towards the battlefield, Alejandro makes a fist as he looks at Tiwa thinking; “If only I was stronger…”

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
