Jeg vil da også lige sige at jeg har oprettet en forfatterprofil på Fyldepennen.dk og den kan du se Her:


Saving the Savior part 5

The door slammed open and made June turn in shock, she had been watching the great sea so far below her penthouse prison. She had been treated nicely by her capturers; they had given her food and drink, as well as a good bog she could spend her time with. But now the tide was about to change, she knew that, Maximilian knew that and somehow the chairman knew it too.
“So the rumors were true, I must say I never believed that you really existed.” Maximilian said as he walked into the room followed by 4 big thugs. “The ‘savior’ is in my possession, who could have known that this random girl picked op from the streets would be such a great asset to my plan?”
“Asset!?” Spat June “I will never help the likes of you!”
“From what I know you don’t have any choice, do you?” he said as he smiled one of his cold smiles. “Tie her up and leave the room.” He spat at the thugs who quickly did as they were told and left Maximilian with the now defenseless ‘savior’.

“The savior” funny thing really, how these names stick. After all he had given her that name himself, all those years ago. A twelve year old John had been walking home from a friend’s house. The sun had begun to set and the suburban houses were casting their shadows over the peaceful community. John was happy as he walked along the quiet road, even though the sun that was setting strait ahead was blinding him. He had had a wonderful day and he was certain that nothing could spoil his mood, well the bully’s hiding in the shadows were about to prove him wrong. They had been waiting for him, or any other person passing by for that matter. No one really knew why but they had a thing for beating up kids and this night they were looking for new meet. So there he was walking along the road, quietly humming a song he had heard in the radio before going to school. But that song was knocked out of his head as a fist came out of nowhere and knocked him out cold.

John woke up in an old warehouse. He did not remember how he had gotten there nor had how any clue to why he was tied to a chair. But it all became clear as his eyes started adapting to the darkness, these damn street thugs were bit unknown to him, he had seen their victims at school seen their scars and their black eyes, so he knew exactly what was coming for him.
The first fist sent stars into his vision and he would no doubt get a black eye from the next hit, except it never came. He saw the fist being drawn back and he saw it soar though the air towards him. But a moment before impact a bright red color blocked his sight and was immediately knocked aside by the powerful punch. It was a girl, a beautiful girl not older than John himself. Her skin was white and her hair was a beautiful shade of red. John would gladly have looked at her for hours on end, but sadly this was not the time. She landed hard on the concrete floor but she didn’t say a word, she received punch after punch by the thugs but she never cried.
But then they griped her by the hair and somehow she changed from that moment. In one swift movement she threw the bully off her like he was simply an irritating bug. Her hair and dress was blowing wildly around, even though there was no wind in the warehouse. The bully’s were shocked, never had any kid dared fight back and never EVER had a kid thrown any of them off. Furthermore this little brat was looking like she was possessed by some sort of demon. The fact that she was slowly and elegantly rising into the air did not make it better and they decided that the best thing to do was to leave. As they left and the two kids were alone, she slowly turned towards him, showing him 2 red glowing eyes. John panicked as he saw the eyes, who were this girl: a saving angel or an evil demon?
“Do you wish to receive the gift I am here to deliver?” her voice was a thundering symphony of beautiful voices, there was a divine tone that could not be denied.
“Yes.” John answered since he was not being able to say no to this scary yet beautiful voice.
“Then I shall grant you my gift.” Her voice died away as her eye fixed upon John. It was like a shockwave hit John in the face. John was knocked backwards as she screamed and fell to the ground.
John was losing consciousness as his body was changing his whole DNA structure. Just before everything went black he looked up on a shadowy figure entering the room. John pointed at the girl and muttered only one word before he passed out: “Savior”.
Later that young man gave her that title as he filed her in his archive of people with extraordinary abilities. The man would later return and tell John that he would one day become a hero, and that he should contact him when he got older. Upon leaving he gave John a tiny card, with only his name and a title written on it: Viktor Vidhen, famous Super Hero agent and inventor. It took John a couple of years to realized that Viktor had not pulled a prank on him and that he really did have super powers, and even longer to figure out that it was this girl that had given him his powers. The girl, who he knew only by the name he himself had given her, was nowhere to be found. The Savior would not bestow her gift to anyone for years to come.

The chairman finally arrived at the door he had been looking for. One of the guards he had fought before rescuing the heroes had tried to buy his life by giving away the place where June was held captive. Of course the chairman had never even considered killing him in the first place, but as a “thanks you for sharing” he decided not to break the poor guys nose.
“Head to the vest!” he had been shouting desperately as the chairman had been walking towards him with 10 unconscious guards behind him. ”The door is between the two black cabins, she’s in there! Please don’t kill me!”
Damn good thing he had been such a coward because there was no way he would have found it otherwise he would have walked right past the door. It blended in with the wall to perfection, only a small crack that was barely visible outlined it. It had no handle or knot, there was no keyhole visible either, and with only the small crack visible the door was practically invisible in the poor lighting.
There was probably some secret opening device hipped somewhere, but the chairman had always been more for the direct approach. Even the most secret of doors could be knocked in, at least that was the chairman’s theory, so he took a step back and slammed his shoulder against the door. It took 4 tries to break in the door but eventually it gave in and flew of its hinges and into the room. The door landed with a loud bang and the now open doorway revealed that 3 people where present in the room. In the front stood a smiling Maximilian with his hands behind his back, in a corner lay someone who was either dead or asleep, it was in the middle of the room the person who caught the chairman’s eye was. Tied to a chair and with cuts all over her face, June sat unconscious, drained of all her power, just at it had happened back when she had earned her name.
“Do not worry about her.” Maximilian said in a cold voice, his eyes locked at the Chairman. “You should worry about your own health for now.”
“What?” the chairman snorted. “You think you can take me on?”
“Yes I doubt you will present much of a challenge.” He grinned.
“Lets see how mighty you are after you get a taste of my powers.” The chairman reached out, expecting to find that little crack in reality his chairs came from, but where he usually found it no problem he found nothing this time. There was no reaction or energy, his powers were gone.
“Trying to do this?” Maximilian asked, snapped his fingers and had small chair appear out of nowhere.
“How the hell did you do that?” asked the Chairman in disbelief.
“Well isn’t it obvious? I just tortured this girl until her powers took over and she granted me an ability of my choice.”
“You did what?” the chairman asked trembling with anger.
“Tortured her, of course. That seemed to be the best way to awaken her power. So she granted me the power to steal the abilities of superheroes. You see without your good given super powers you aro nothing but a bunch of…”
That’s all he got to say before a fist found its way to his face, and knocked off his feat. The fat mastermind landed hard on his back as the chairless chairman started laughing like a maniac.
“So what if I don’t have I powers?” he laughed looking down at Maximilian who slowly got to his feat. “I had been fighting for years before I started using my powers. Fist fighting is nothing new to me!” The chairman slowly stopped laughing. “You on the other hand have no use of my power. You see: being able to create chairs doesn’t mean shit, if you don’t have the strength to use them as weapons. You can’t possibly beat me with your fat corpus and my powers.”
“You are correct!” Maximilian said as he summoned a comfy chair and sat himself in it. “Do you see the guy in the corner? His name was ‘Portal’, guess why.”
“Because he could make portals?”
“Correct. But here is the important fact: when I kill someone I keep his power. Have you ever heard about the infinite loop? Let me show you.” Maximilian snapped his fingers and suddenly two portals appeared in midair and a small chair appeared in between them. Due to the gravity of the planet, the chair was pulled into the portal below, only to come out of the top portal and fall into the low portal again. The Chairman looked in shock at the chair fell faster and faster.
“That is the infinite loop.” Said Maximilian. “Now look what happens when I move one of the portals.” Suddenly the top portal vanished and a portal appeared right in front of the chairman, who just managed to dive out of the way as a the chair zoomed out and smashed against the wall.
“With your power and my new power I am invincible.” Maximilian smiled as 4 more infinite looping chairs appeared out of nowhere. The chairman jumped left and right dodging flying chairs. There was only one way to do this, the Chairman thought. The chairman dodged left and stormed forward. Maximilian was still sitting in his chair shooting chairs at the chairman. But as the chairman stormed forward he panicked and sent all his 4 chairs zooming towards the chairman who dived under them, and shoulder tackled Maximilian as he jumped up from the ground. Maximilian was thrown backwards and slammed against the large seaside window, causing it to shatter into a thousand pieces. Maximilian fell down on all 4 as the chairman walked slowly over to him.
“You can’t beat me, using powers you have stolen.” The chairman said and kicked Maximilian into an upright position, where he gripped him with his left hand and held him upright.
“I’m going to kill you now.” The chairman said looking into Maximilian’s eyes. “I will do this because of what you have done, I will kill you like you killed John Franklin, I will kill you like you killed Jennie.” The Chairman drew his fist back and slammed it into Maximilian’s nose, sending him screaming though the window and down the cliff. If the 50 meter fall didn’t kill him, the cold water would.
The Chairman turned around as June came back to life; she looked up at the chairman and whispered:
“John?”
“John is dead. Not even the savior can bring him back to life; it is way too late for that.”
The chairman looked at the door as he heard running steps approaching and suddenly saw 4 heroes storming into the room.
“Your not used to being too late are you?” taunted the chairman to the four famous heroes.
“I see you made it” said Ninja girl coldly, her face all sliced up, probably from torture.
“Good job” said Nano-man a bit more cheerful, he looked pale and stiff he had properly not regained all his energy yet.
“Where is Maximilian?” asked DragonDemon and looked around in the room.
“Dead.” Answered the chairman, and Fire Fairy zoomed out of the broken window, disappearing for a few seconds, then returning with a grim look on her face. “The body is completely splattered over the rocks.” She said with disgust.
The chairman slowly got up and walked towards the door not looking at any of the heroes.
“Are you just going to leave like that?” asked Fire Fairy fiercely. “After you just slaughtered that guy.”
The chairman stopped in his tracks and turned his eyes at Fire Fairy with a gaze that made even her blood run cold.
“I am not part of S.U.P.E.R. I am a rouge hero on the run; I don’t answer to anyone, least of all you 4.”
“Why do all I give the gift end up hurt so badly?” whispered June as the chairman had left the room.


Long from there a man sat sipping to his wine, he had a funny feeling that the Chairman had died. He was sad for a moment until he realized that he had to be alive. “hmm, a French wine from the seventies I would say.” The Wine was Italian and from the nineties, but he would never know that and he didn’t really care anyway. In front of him 5 bodies that used to be group 39 was bleeding to death on his fine carpet.
“I wonder if I will be able to get the blood out.”

Spændende side, Fyldepennen dér. Skal dog ærligt indrømme, at jeg ikke har haft tid til at læse dine mange noveller, men bare det faktum, at du kan/gider skrive så meget er da helt klart positivt :)
