Revealing the Truth

Kevin sighed heavily as he held the doorknob of his house , he felt sad and found it very hard to accept what he needed to go through . It was the last day that he could taste freedom .

The two weeks of fun and leisure with his friends are over , and as he steps into his house he couldn't help but predict and imagine what mayhem and chaos his " next chapter " holds .

" You're back , care for some chicken chop with extra chips ? I made it to perfection just for you . " John generously welcomed his little brother back home .

" Nah I'll pass ." Kevin replied with a deep sombre tone .

" Oh okay ...... " John reacted . He couldn't hide the tiny bit of a disappointment tone out of his mouth . He was surely curious as to why Kevin is suddenly all gloomy and unhappy , while the days before he was bright , happy and would react positively if John offers a meal or something like that . John thought that maybe Kevin got into a bad fight with a friend or somewhere around that .

The gloomy teenager walks into his room and straight into the bathroom . He aggresively washes his face . He stares down into the sink hole , then into the mirror , looking at himself .

" Just keep calm Kev , keep , fucking , calm .... how bad could it be . You've had enough training . You can do it . But ............. ah fuck it shut your mouth Kev , no excuses . You have to finish what you start . " he talked to himself .

After saying a few more words to his reflection , he decided to get on the laptop , to do some internet stuff like he always does on boring nights . It was 8 p.m.

He got onto Twitter , and tweeted out his feelings in less than 140 characters ,

" Well , moving on to another big chapter in life . Don't know what's coming but ready to face it ."

" Love who you have and appreciate them , they'll matter the most when you are away from them #feelingitnow "

"  Damn I want pizza ."

Those are some of the tweets he posted . His friends replied , curious as to what Kevin is talking about but he decided to not to tell them . After spending a few more hours on the internet , his eyes are starting to get watery from fatigue , and his body is just telling him to go to bed . He turned off his laptop and lays on the bed . He stares at his ceiling , a train of thoughts crowd his mind . What is waiting for him tomorrow ?

The following day

Suited up in his normal gym outfits , he enters Riley's house compound . The gates are left wide open as usual . He entered in the training area's entrance code and casually walks down the steps . Usually the lights would already be left open when he steps in but today the steps are covered in darkness . He doesn't mind it though . He runs his hands across the walls trying to locate the big switch opening the main spotlights of the training area .

Eventually his hand found the switch . But just before he could activate it , he felt something really strong hitting him in the back . It throwed him off a bit from the switch and before he could get back , an arm hit him in the throat really hard and tossed him way across the place . He think it’s a threat so he quickly charged electricity in both of his hands to counter back . The electricity really helped as it helped Kevin to see a silhouette charging super fast right at him .

He dodges the guy’s attack and the guy overshot quite far . As Kevin was getting ready to attack , the guy suddenly appears next to him . Kevin barely swerves away from the punch . The another one was coming from the back , Kevin stopped it with an arm lock and immediately attacked with a basic electric-charged punch . Then the arm he locked suddenly vanished and the next thing he knows , the guy was on his 7 o’clock direction . This time , the guy got the upper hand . He left Kevin with no time to react . The guy punched Kevin directly in the nose and then kicked him in the stomach , really really hard . It blasted Kevin off his feet and straight into the wall .The wall cracked . Kevin’s back was hurt real bad and he was trying his best to brush off the pain . He looked in front of him and the silhouette was getting closer and closer to him . It’s a person .  Kevin knows he needs to get back up to defend . Then the guy was spotted pulling out what seems to be a blade . He is planning to probably slaughter Kevin . The two are just 10 meters away from each other .

Luckily Kevin regained fighting status just in time and pressed on the defence . He put both of his palms on the ground and electricity start breaking out from the ground . It was going really fast and that forced the guy to escape further and further away . Even if he chose to appear near Kevin to attack like he did before , the electricity surrounding Kevin might be a problem . Kevin then stood up

“ WHO ARE YOU ?” he shouted .  The guy didn’t answer .

“ I’m giving you a fucking chance to speak !! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?”

Then the lights in the compound switched on . As the lights start to paint the place , Kevin finally get to see the face of the guy , and he was definitely in shock . It’s Riley .

“ RILEY ?! Why did you do that to me you prick !” Kevin looking very crossed .

“ As someone who loves training and challenges , I expected you to see that ambush as a training , you know , to improve your alertness and battle-ready aspect .”

“But you attacked me like you’re trying to kill me you shit !” Kevin replied .

“ That was precisely my intention . But I guess I underestimated you . I didn’t show effort because I thought you were gonna be an easy kill . That last move was impressive I have to say ” Riley’s tone suddenly changed . It’s a tone Kevin never heard . The atmosphere immediately changed .

“W-what do you mean by that ? You really were trying to kill me ?! What the fuck …” Kevin said as he deactivates the electricity around him .

“ Today , I have something to reveal to you .” Riley said in a very scary tone .

“ What is it ?! Tell me now !” Kevin shouted .

“ Well , it’s pointless for me to say words to build up your curiosity , so I’m just gonna cut to the chase . From this very moment onwards , you will be no one . Remember how I said that you will be the saviour to this world ? I fucking lied . SAVING THIS WORLDS WAS NEVER A THING I’M INTERESTED , EVEN A TINY BIT . I treated you like family , just to get you comfortable with me . Everything I did for you , was never sincere . It was all …… just so that I can USE you , to help me towards my goal . ” Riley revealed .

Kevin couldn’t believe what he heard . The guy who he trained with and befriended for over a month , is actually a bad guy . He thought Riley was someone who has respect-worthy intentions and dreams , but actually , he is the exact opposite .

He didn’t know what to reply .

“ Seems like you are lost for words .” Riley continued .

“ You , worthless , piece of shit . I trusted you eventhough you are someone I have never seen in my life . I got under your wings , hoping to fulfill and help you with your wise dreams . But it was all a fucking lie ?!” Kevin raged .

“ I never forced you to follow me . It was entirely your choice . You were dumb enough to follow me and believe that such a thing could be accomplished with just the two of us . I chose you only because you are easy to influence and persuade . But sometimes I doubt your wise thinking and decision making . Whether you can properly be a great tool or not .” Riley continues the reveal .

“ Fuck you and the way you think . I refuse to say that the decision I took was dumb . I believed that such a thing really can be achieved , regardless of how many people is involved in the process . I thought you would be a great leader towards that goal , but it turns out you’re nothing but a devil masked as a human .” Kevin continued . He was totally angry , disappointed and shocked at what Riley said and did .

“ Quit your nonsense , just admit you will fail . I am your teacher , you defeating me is not gonna happen . And after I’m finished with you , you will feel nothing . No pain , no suffering , no disappointment , no nothing . All you will know in this world are my orders . But before I do that , I will do one last test , which is , can you dance ? “ Riley continued .

*What Riley meant by dance is to fight with amazing style and precision . Dancing involves precision steps to string together a graceful set of moves , which can also relate to fighting which also , sometimes , requires a great series of continuous attacks to have better effect  on the target .

Kevin looked to the ground , then looked at Riley with a smirk .

“ Absolutely . My electric will overpower your speed .” Kevin said as he gets into a battle stance , all powered up for the fight .

Riley then grabbed his blade that is on his back and says “ Well then – “ With a strong gust of wind , Riley moves , quick like lightning , next to Kevin .

“ Let’s see how graceful your steps are “
