#1 of Hidden Talents


Meh. It came a little late and I make this in hopes of making atleast three parts to it. BTW. There is a war coming and all of my characters shall be joing First Liuetenant Vanterro. It's the drop on the LAST OF MY FUTURE FANTASY FICS!!!! After that I will send out a journal/message saying that I am no longer doing fantasy fic and doing something different that i have been wanting to do for a long time. But once school starts up I'll be doing one probably each day again out of boredum. I always get my best ideas when in school and it really sucks cause it constantly nags me until I get home. Any who. Here it is if you haven't seen the frikken teaser. And no. The teaser isn't in this one. It will be in the next if I can hold off the urge to add it till after this one.

<hr/>

I walk into the school and glance around cautiously. This is my first day in college. I don't even have my abilities to manipulate an element around me. Every one is either walking around in a full elemental veil or just not caring if they have one around them. The rest just act like their cool and they don't even do it unles someone asks. Then there is usualy someone getting hurt. I passed by a few Fire manipulative twins and both looked at me, giggling. remember them as the hellfire twins. They don't wear cloathes because the hellfire that surrounds them shields their bodies from every body's eyes. I watched them float down the hall and disappear from view. I was taking a beginner's course. It was only for those who don't give a care about their powers or can't control them fully. I remember seeing someone burst into flames and completely vaporise themselves because they couldn't control it.

"Hey kid. What cho name?"

I turned my head to see a human girl standing next to me.

"I-it's Alastrius."

"Ok Alas. Could you hurry up an get ya stuff?"

I signed the form and headed down the hall to my first class. Well, atleast I don't have physical ed first. But I have beginner's class first. I walked into the room and set down my laptop on my desk. Opening it and linking to one of the classroom cables that ran along the floor. Th teacher sent a message to each person in the room. One of the laptops boomed loudly, "You've got mail!" He apologized and turned it down. I returned to my laptop and instead of opening up the e-mail she sent us I opened up a document that was meant for one of the advanced classes. I had been preparing for my abilities to come and have learned all the basics for each and every ability except for this new document that I came across while searching through old computer files after hacking into the school mainframe. It had been done by one of the teachers on the god element abilities. It was the basics of all the elements morphed into a single entity and that entity can control whichever he liked. It interrested me very much but it seemed like it was written before the Antraudo Blast back in 2153. The documents had been dated a day before that actually. As I read through the entire file at the end it had said in bold letters,

I have finally figured at the DNA structure to give a man these abilities. Anyone actually. By this time tomorrow I will have used the Antraudo on myself. It seems to be emenating a strange energy field when turned on. So I shall enter the chamber and see what it does to my DNA helix. If anyone were to ever get this message then that would mean I am dead. Triakei, signing out.

I quickly threw it in the trash bin to hide it as I marked the X through the message the teacher had sent me.

"Uhm. Alastrius. You haven't read the message I sent you did'nt you?"

"I have read every single file on every single element and ability Mrs. Warra."

"Are you saying that just so you can get out of this class or do you just hate me and like to toy with people?"

'm not kidding. I have no abilities yet so I-"

"No abilities? Hah!"

"I'm not kidding. I have no abilities to use. Not even a second form. I'm still just human."

"Mr. Red's office. Now."

I gave a sigh to her and picked my laptop up, putting it in my bag. The trip to M'r Red's office was short being how I new where it was. As I walked in he was reading a newspaper and didn't even acknowledge me.

"Ok sonny. Mrs. Warra sent me an e-mail saying that you are toying with her. I want you to stop it and read the e-mail. It's not even but an hour's read. What's so wrong with that?"

"But sir. I already have. Has she told you about my other grades? How I have straight A's in them all?"

"This sin't about your other classes."

"Sir. I respect you being how you can possibly expell me from my only chances at getting a college degree. But I am not lieing when I say, I have no abilities. Not even a second form. And for the past few years I have been reading the different abilities for each element. Today I just finished the last one about something called the God Element. That is the last one i found in the school's mainframe database and...I said Mainframe didn't I?"

Mr. Red. Gave a loud sigh then stood up, his coffee in hand.

"Mr. Ridano. You Have hacked...The school's mainframe?"

"...Yes sir."

"Then tell me. Who said you could download that data?"

"No one sir. If I were to prepare myself for when I get my-"

"Ahbububub. No. o. You have your abilitis already. Everyone is born with them. So I think you are hiding your abilities from us. So tell me. What makes you more special than the next guy?"

"I am not lieing!"

"And i am not waiting for my answer. Why are you constantly disobeying me, the president of this college. You are dealing with a man with a very short temper."

"Do an exoskeletal scan. I am purely human."

"Ok. If you're that persistent then I will have you scanned."

He took a long stick out of his drawer and flicked a switch. A greenish black light flickered on and he wavered it from the top of my head down to my legs. My bones were visible even to me.

"My word. How is this possible is out of my jurisdiction. So you are not kidding about anything you said. This is a remarkable discovery. It is as astoonishing as when my colleague Triakei had discovered this new age all those years ago."

"Did you say Triakei?"

"Why yes. I think the last time I saw him those fifty three years ago was when he disappeared out the front door of my house, saying he'll change everything."

"Sir.That was over a hundred years ago."

He froze. I could see his hand reaching under his desk. I backed up and showed my hands. I even puled the sleeves down and held them up.

"Whoa whoa. I promise you that all I did was find a message from him."

"What do you know?"

"The message is on my laptop."

"Show it to me or I press this button and the whole room goes ablaze."

"Well if it's that easy then ok."

I took out my laptop and put it on his desk. Opening the recycle bin the hacking program came up and I remember how I got it. I let out a nervous, "Uh", and closed it. The file on the god element was the only thing there. I opened it and the date appeared in the upper right hand corner.

"Twenty one fifty three. My word.And it is the day before he detonated it."

"But something actually went wrong. I read through the sequences of how it works further down. Then at the end he said he would gt inside and turn it on. Now, he made a mistake and didn't even know it. The shell he was using had a crack in it somewhere's along the line it was welded shut. You can see it in the hologram that it shows."

I scrolled down and the hologram popped back up. It was as big as the screen and there were words at the bottom as he spoke.

"Thing is when he got into the achine he had metal with him. the inside of it was pure glass. An insulating material. When it heated up it was like hitting a metal with microwaves. It must have exploded. The Antraudo blast was a mistake. But what happened to his body? It couldn't have just...disappeared."

"I remember these scientifics. He, by what I estimate as the best option, is dead. But if he isn't then there is a slight chance that he is still alive. But if he isn't then we all have the gene he created. The gene he was first given. Meaning the explosion didn't give us this. His vaporised body did. We all have the god particle in our DNA. I also looked at my NA and it unlike any DNA I've ever seen. It has a third helix. Giving it multiple god particles in each strand. I have reson to believe that they might all be cancelling each other out. That was done a year ago."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I prefer you explain it to every one. Well about me of course. Keep all of this secret. Triakei wanted to keep this secret for a reason. His work could help me with my DNA problem."

"If you think so then do it. By all means."

"Thank you sir. For everything."

"And thank you for finding me his file."

He pressed the button under his desk and felt the floor heat up. Before I could look down I felt the singe of heat surround me and painfully burning.

(0.=.0)

I looked at the laptop. It was green in color. I turned it to me and began reading the pages of info he jotted down. This human had kept everything in rder and studdied a lot. He shoudn't have ever gotten this info. I closed it then replaced it under the table in a compartment. I looked at my skin. I stayed the same human flesh. My personally weaved exosuit was amde to fill a persons shoes who goes through harsh conditions. Though it amazed me how it lasted the life of this old dragon. I stood up and swept up the ashes using a broom into the vent which under it actually lies a canister full of ashes from three other people. I can't keeep vaporizing people or someone is gonna find out.

(o.=.o)

I expected the singing fires to completely kill me but they hadn't. Only patches of my flesh was burnt. It still hurt but not all too much.

"Are you ok son?"

"Who are you?!"

I turned to my side and noticed a large skinny man wearing a torn lab coat. Aged labcoat to be exact. He had a five O' clock shadow and was wearing a pair of large glasses.

"I...Am Triakei. You aren't the only one here though."

I looked at him, stunned. Then before long I realized i was staring and looked around. There were atleast three other people here. Two women and a guy who was lazing on a chair, silently snoring. Both the girls were back to back and typing up what seemed like a code of sorts. Probably to each other. I turned my gaze back to Triakei. If he ven is Triakei.

"Are you the real Triakei?"

"No. Thats my code name. I am not supposed to tell you my name at all. We are the few humans left here. Well were. Like you we didn't have our abilities at birth. Now Those two girls are actually inside of those computers. what you see is holograms. And that guy over there isn't sleeping. He thinks scaring the shit out of us is funny. He can use his abilities to do ghostly things like walk through walls and disappear. But those are the basics. Me..."

The man changed into a more feminine form.

"I am Qonura. I, as you can see, shapeshift. But once again I can't tell you my name. Qonura is just another code name. I was the only person he didn't try to vaporize. That and i am your mother."

"Not true. My mother is a fire manipulant."

"Lets see. Your father left you and your mother you didn't even know because she was 'dead'. Died giving birth to you. I tell ya. Squeezing you out was a little painful. Oh. And my name isn't Berene. Yet again, sorry for yet another alias."

"Why help me?"

"Because The president of that college tried to kill you. What else proof do you need?"

"Touche. But still. What do you want with me?"

"You are an advanced manipulant. Usually its elements. But they are lucky. Theirs isn't as complicated. Our abilities allow us to do whatever the hell we want. Me, can use any element I can think of."

"So in a way you can use the god element."

"No. I am the god element. Elenara. Give 'em the shock."

A figure made of pure electricity came out of the computer next to me and touched me on the arm. Sparks flew and I didn't feel a thing. The sparks singed my jacket but didn't hurt me.

"No can do. He has already taken on the characteristics of the god element in the room. Your heat is starting to get noticeable too."

"The god element is in the air?"

"Yes. This is Point Zero. Where it all happened. Stick around for a while. You should be able to inhale enough of the god element to gain atleast a new body. Why don't you three take a hike?"

"No can do mistress el formatico.", the guy said.

"Again. Stop calling me that."

"Well. You definitely ain't gone fuck your own son. Thats for sure."

"Well I don't see you letting me go around in bed with you."

"Because I don't want to get fucked by you. Go find a dragon or another human. Cause while I'm still alive, no incest."

"Well then you little pervert."

"Eeh fuck you."

He disappears completely and Qonura stomps her foot. the pain of shifting bones catches my attention and I spit up blood as I bend over from the pain.

Well, what ya think? I started at 2 A.M. and ended at 4:30 A.M. a good two and a half hours. Now I sleep.
