The morning had just vomited out the sun into the sky and lit up a bright sensation to the world.
Kelvin Mulosola, who was only the least bravest, courageous and reliable man in the family of the Mussah's woke up with a weird feeling. The young lad, as clarified before was lazy, in reliable, weak and stupid as well.
All the family members called him the big failure, for he came from glory to shame, and had nothing left in him but the love of drawing freehand comics. He believed that there was a world only he could control, a world where he was a man of honor and greatness, a place where everyone respected him and loved him for who he was.
As so to keep this feeling alive, he'd wake up every morning and start drawing, sometimes preparing for school...as he was on this particular day.
The young lad sat at the back of the bus, looking at the window, seeing the flower fields and trees fall back from front to the back. He hated school and that was a fact that he could not hide. He hated having to wake up every morning and preparing to go to learn something that he never even wanted to. This had intimidated him for almost most of his life, but he had no choice, after all, he was was only a silver spoon in a queen size kitchen.
Kelvin reached the gate of the school and said to himself, "if only it was a comic". He had thought that he would change things if it were to happen, in fact, Kelvin held these words every day ever since he learned to realize that school was like a prison for him, it was his solemn wish.
He walked toward the school gate with hatred and neglence, and he noticed some diffence in this day from all days... There was a beggar sitting on the front of the gate, begging children that entered the academy.
Other people literally show that they were ignoring the helpless man on purpose and they called him useless and stupid. Kelvin could relate to the pain of the name calling... As a matter of fact, he felt pity about it and wanted to help him.
The young lad had a K500 in his pocket, which was not enough to feed a fully grown man for long but that was what he had, per as to remember the position he had in his family.
'sir, I know it might not be enough to help you for the whole day, but all I have is K500, which was bound to be my lunch money for the whole week" (particularly speaking, K500 is only used to buy fries that are worth K400, and this was just a plain old Wednesday, which means that the young lady himself was in a tight position).
The old man looked at him in the eyes and said "son of Joseph, you are blessed, and your wish would be granted".
Kelvin was surprised, "sir, how did you know my name?, are you from where I stay?" he asked.
"I am the being, at the center of the universe, if you want restoration... Come, come to me... Follow me, come" said the old man as his voice faintly disappeared along with him. Kelvin was shocked.
He looked around and saw no one, and thought he might be hillusinating, but he certainly went inside compass with a chill in his spine.
He walked up to class,sat down and took his comic book... Well, he drew a free hand comic in an activity pad. And he was almost about to finish the book. But to his surprise, the book was empty.
It came as a shock to him and he was confused. "maybe I took the wrong book" he thought to himself.
After about 30 minutes later he comfirmed that he took the right book and the book was somehow blank for no reason.
The confused lad sat for the first two hours in class thinking about how the book became blank and paid less attention to the teacher who was teaching geography, Map reading.
A while later, the bell rang and it was break time. He took off and went to the office to ask if they might have any Intel of the man who sat on the school gate, he suspected the man to be the cause of his misfortune, for in his country, they believed that misfortune was brought by witches and wizards, sometimes sorcerers and sorcereces, and as a major problem in Africa, they tend to believe that it's mostly the elderly that engage in these types of acts.
So he assumed that the old man was a wizard and might have intentionally sat there to beg for money from kids as to steal their destiny.
Unfortunately, the staff members of the office had no idea who the man in question was and in fact, they didn't even see a begger on the gate, nor did the rest of the students. Kelvin was puzzled.
After the brainstorm, he went back into class, breaktime was over... As he was in class, he accidentally got caught up in the eyes of Naomi... A very attractive fair skinned girl. She was smiling and blushing upon seeing him. He was blushing too, but apparently, there was Chiku, the school bully, and unf the girl's boyfriend and he was very hot tempered.
He walked up to Kelvin and gave him a big blow on the face. The whole class crushed into whispers and murmurs aloud and caught the attention of the other classes, and at the same time Kelvin fell to the ground.
Chiku and his henchmen laughed sinisterly and chiku spat on him... "did you think that we were just going to ignore you glancing at my girl like that? Do you think that she likes you? A looser like you... You stink! Get out of my way!!"
Chiku walked up to his girlfriend and grabbed her by the waist and said proudly, "she is my girl... And if anyone tries to get close to her, I will personally break your bones!"
The whole class shattered in fear, meanwhile, the young lad was still on the ground, filling in the anger that the guy had injected in his heart.
But Kelvin unlike the hooligan was a young man of virtue, he stood up strongly and sat down and ultered no word. And the arrogant bafoon, went back to his seat and everything was normal again for a while.
"BOOOooOoM!!!!!", "what's that sound!?" said the teacher as he falls down out of the ground shake.
"class 3 has exploded! There seem to be falling bombs from the sky!", "splat!" the head of the student reporter goes blown up by a bullet from a pistol pointed right behind him.
"we are here to take the chosen one!", screamed the man who was entering the class with high authority.
"ple... Please sir! Don't hurt us!"
Bang!... Sounds the gun as the bargaining whimp's head fall quarter ground... The students shout in fear girls terrified, but the young man Kelvin looks as vivid as he always is... Chiku looks at him and think of himself superior.
" you don't scare me! I am strong enough to handle you!", says chiku as he drafts forward to attack the villain.
Bang! The bullet hits directly on his leg, probably the villain aimed at his leg for preservance. "come with me, according to your courage, I can tell that you have the heart of a lion... You tend to be the chosen one, and your school will be saved because of you!", said the man as he rests chiku's hand on his shoulder.
Chiku felt superior, he claimed," may all join me in salvation, followed by my girlfriend, the love of my life, Naomi, but if I may ask, what will the school be saved from? "
" Hahaha! You haven't got the slightest idea of what is happening?! Truely, African countries are shallow and absent in the world movement! ", exclaimed the supposed villain.
Chiku noticed that he had brought insult to the country, but could not contront the white man with authority but submitted with his shame." Sir can you please enlighten us? ". The man glabbed chiku and put his arm up on his shoulder as he supported him up. "the UFO are invading earth... And we were helpless at first but an interceptor came to our rescue, oh how lucky we were", said the man and continued, "but as we rode the interceptor, it took us to the mothership where we met the leaders... Apparently they were not the owners of the ship... They said, the ship's owner died in the void... And his soul was trapped in the star that flew across galaxies and landed on this planet decades ago, and his spirit reincarnated in the body of a human... Honestly speaking after searching the whole globe. The mothership's core generated an excess amount of energy upon reaching here.. Proving that the chose one might be here ". Said the man proudly.
" so what makes you so sure that he is the chosen one? ", asked Kelvin in a doubtful way.
" the courage, we have been told not to underestimate his courage, and bravery... He stood up to me with nothing but bare hands even though he knew that I had an advantage because of the weapons i have, so I say, his courage brought him to me", said the man with praise...
"even dogs can bark at a lion, that doesn't mean that he is the one you are looking for", said Kelvin arrogantly.
"shut up, punk!" said chiku as he sprinted toward Kevin's direction and hit him with a stingy blow and both fall down.
'clap, clap, clap' sings the strangers palms as he helps chiku up... "truely, you are the chosen one, he who has power has leadership", said the man as he helped chiku outside to the interceptor, "men! Help the rest into the interceptor..... Leave the unconscious one behind, he will only show you down... We have found the chosen one. It's time to return to the mothership".
Kelvin was left there unconscious and alone...
Soon after the interceptor left the earth's atmosphere, Kelvin woke up, the school had been leveled to the ground, everything set ablaze. It was a mystery how he had survived.
"dang it!, so I am the only one left. I should have known that the hatred he had for me will come at the cost of my life... I should control myself hence forth",narrated Kelvin to himself as he walks his way out of the school compus.
He walked a distant until he reached shopprite, a famous shopping center of the city. And to his surprise, the place was as quiet as the grave in halloween holidays. He had the thought of venturing in and exploring the great shop.
Meanwhile, inside was an ugly green humanoid, masculine, tall and armed. The weapons though not clearly identified but by the looks of it was surely a weapon of mass destruction. Behind the counter, 7 victims, crying and shivering, pleading for freedom...
Suddenly, Kelvin walked into the shop by mere luck using the back door and with a glance guessed the sight to be bizarre and hid himself.
He was very cautious as he walked slowly close to the counter and hid behind the snack shelves. The perimeter was covered with 3 of these humanoids and they were all on the same position, they seemed to have been conversing.
Kelvin picked up a glass crack and reflected in the light from window into one of the victims eyes, she saw him and nodded, what remained was for Kelvin to take action and save them by any means possible.
The interceptor reached the mothership in ample time and they were received in with a grand welcoming feast. Every citizen in the Orb city (a city built in the ship, settlement capability about the population of 24 million extended families, but at this point, the ship only accommodated 40% of the population).
Everyone was there, ready to greet the chosen one. The ship was very jolly as everyone was excited. The news about the chosen one spread all over the mothership, everyone came there.
General : may we all stand as we await the entrance of the Great one!
The trumpets were blown upon the entrance of the M0f1 interceptor... Everyone began to applaud, soldiers sangs, and the sound of great chear was heard all over the great ship.
The passengers of the M0f1 descended and they were helped by the leughtenant to the base where most of them were ushered to change clothes by the maids and head for the dining room where as chiku and his girlfriend were taken to the chamber king's bedroom... This was surely an aboud of the chosen one.
After being bathed by the maids and being healed of his early wound by the cell atomizer in his bedroom, he was was dressed by the maids in high order military garment and was given a space ring, one which functions were not known. While Naomi was dressed in royal attractive garment.
And both were led to the higher table of the counsel. Regarded as the VIP section.
General : greetings to the chosen one!
All:greetings to the chosen one!!!
Chiku profoundly and proudly waved at the crowd.
General : it is time to dine, as we all wait for the confirmation of the chosen one to the mother server.
At this time on earth, Malawi, Blantyre, people were trapped as Kelvin hid in seclusion trying to figure out how to help the people.
He realized that he was opposite an alcohol section. He jumped to the other side and froze behind the black lebel cottage. Luckily he had a lighter in his pocket. (he was a profound stoner/smoker).
As the three armed humanoids were still conversing, he tore a part of his shirt and soaked it in alcohol and then took a bottle of highly concentrated alcohol and tied it to the top of of it... He lit up the piece of cloth and threw it exactly on the midle of the three humanoids.
'BOooOoM!!', the bottle exploded and the humanoids were on fire. They screached as they ran hay wire until they died. At this time Kelvin ran to untie the new aquintances and seek knowledge of the crisis at hand. They were a total of seven people now, three boys and four girls. Namely Sarah, Tina, Natasha, Diana and Kelvin, David and John.
David and John were just about 20 years old, and they were celebrating Sarah's birthday, who was David's sister and had added her years to 19 years old, accompanied by her friends Tina, 20 years old, Natasha, 18 years old and Diana 23 years old.
Sooner than later it was around 4 in the afternoon and they were just about done collecting possible resources for survival. The phone line was cut off, and there were dead bodies all over, surely it wasn't only this side of the town that was affected. Cars were not usable at this point cause the roads were crowded with crashed cars full of corpses.
They set of with traveling bags loaded with food and other items for survival and hed to the nearest mountain, according to Kevin's hypothesis, it'd be safer there for the time being because it is not an obvious place to find humans in there.
Meanwhile, in space...
"it's now time for the chosen one to unlock the system of the mothership to confirm his worth!", said the sage as he stood in front of the congregation.
"what is he talking about?", asked chiku. "the ring you are wearing is a connection between you and the mother ship's core. It will penetrate your skin and connect with your mind, if you are the chosen one, the code to unite the core with man is in your head and you will be able to open all the hidden and locked features of the ship... Basically saying, you own this thing, haha... Just remember to put me in a good position when you are lord of the ship ", said the man proudly." by the way, my name is Gregory ", said the man.
" I am chikumbutso, and don't worry about it, I will appoint you my personal assistant ". Assured chiku.
The sage escorted chiku to the center of the mothership, people all over the ship were watching from the screen as their chosen one went to grant access to the ship.
The main importance of the ceremony was to get access to unaccessible features of the ship. Meaning to say the ship was open but not fully. Departments as the main weapons, interstellar thrusters, escape pods, cultivation docks and AI android manufacture was seized and not functional. Therefore, they needed a code.
As detailed in the ship's functional database, the owner of the ship sealed it with his DNA pattern and Devine instinct. Therefore, a person can't open it even if he matches the owner. But the owner himself.
So after a long times search, finally, the chosen one was found. The complete reincarnation of the owner of the ship, the bravest and courageous (so said the the prophecy).
Chiku walked into the center of the ship's chamber, facing the core face to face. As he approached it, it started glowing, everyone watching it was ecstatic. It was a magnificent scene, he felt high of himself and felt proud. With a proud smirk he reached out and touched the core of the ship.
Surprised as everyone, the ship started rumbling, the core started shaking.
"is that the power of the chosen one?", "are we going to die?", "is the ship rejecting him?", these were various questions from various people who were shocked by the reaction of the core
Suddenly the ship shut down. The core went dormant.
"step away from the core!", screamed the sage.
Chiku withdrew his hand, and then the ship went back online, and the core was alive but with a feint light. Everyone was disappointed....more especially, the man who brought him there. He was ashamed of himself for being cocky and acting all majestic for nothing.
"Gregory Harper!", called out the commander, "where did you dig out this culprit of a man? This piece of shit not only pretend to be the chosen one, but his life line was so poor that it started draining power from the power core! This man is an Outcast! He must be sent back to the land of the lunatics whose being invaded! ", commanded the commander.
Chiku was frightened, and he was surprised by the way he was being treated by the commander, it was as if she was waiting for him to be proved wrong by the core to her advantage. Soldiers came from all corners and strangled him, and Naomi stood there in fear and tears.
"wait!", commanded the general. "this core... It has been over a year since we lost our lord, and it's been that long since we saw it emit light like this, surely the chosen one, the" real "chosen one is definitely in this sector. Perhaps the culprit can help us with a few stages? Gregory!
" sire", answers Gregory as he approaches the general.
"take the culprit, let him lead you to the chosen one. And make sure you come back only when you find him, understood?!".
"Affirmative!", answers Gregory. "chiku, follow me!" commands Gregory in a despising way as he led him to the interceptor.
Naomi was told to stay and wait for her prince charming to save the day.
At that time time on earth, Kelvin was staring at the moon.
"what are you doing here all alone at this time of the night?", asked Natasha.
"I am just looking at the moon... Wondering." answered Kelvin in a cool and calm manner.
Kelvin was a cool and smart guy... At least that's what Natasha thought about him... He was the ideal person to date with.
"how old are you Kelvin?", asked Natasha.
"18.....why ask though?" replied Kelvin in a confused manner.
"no special reason, I just want to know how old an interesting guy like you is, because it's not likely to see an immature man think of alcohol as an explosive material, instead, they'd rather drink it. But you... You saved our life with a bottle of alcohol... That's something else. "
" honestly speaking, I am not as good as you mention, I am just an opmistic guy and about the alcohol bottle bomb, I took it in an comic... 'survive on the desert island with beauties', it's fun though... I suppose you shouldn't judge the book by it's name either, it's not perverted. "clarified Kelvin.
" haha, so you read comics? ".
" yeah, any problem with that? ".
" no, you just reminded me of my late brother... He used to love those ".
" oh, he's dead? Am sorry... I didn't know ".
" it's okay, I thought it was kind of weird at first, but I realized that he was actually learning something from it... He died saving my life... He was a martial arts cultivator... But as you know, people don't take it seriously these parts of the world, but if it wasn't for him... I would have been dead along with him. I am proud of him... You should too. "
Kelvin looked at Natasha, tears were dripping down her cheeks.
Don't worry... He lives in your heart". Said Kelvin as he reaches out and hugs Natasha.
Natasha felt warm and tender... She felt as if her brother was alive and he was there with her. She started weeping. On the other hand, Kelvin thought to himself while she was weeping in his arms, 'this was a bad idea... You took advantage of my sympathy.'
Kelvin carried her to her tent, dropped her there and left quietly. He went further than his tent to a tree, a pine tree... He wanted to see the situation. Of the city at night.
"holy shit!!!, they are coming!!!," shout Kelvin. "everyone!! evacuate to the cave over there!," said Kelvin while pointing to an isolated cave.
At a distance, ships were heading to their location, they seemed to might have been able to track them.
As fast as they ran, Kelvin was thinking to himself, 'how can they track us? The humanoids at the shop literally died and didn't see where we were headed, can it be....?!' "everyone! Throw your phones away!" what?! Asked David in reply to what Kelvin had commanded. "Just do it if you want to leave alive! Declared Kelvin.
Everyone threw their phones away as they ran into the cave and hid behind rocks.
" shhhh" whispered Kelvin to calm the heavy breathing his dead weights were giving out.
Suddenly, the UFO's stood at the entrance of the cave, he was scanning the the cave for possible life forms. Just before his scan radar hit John, another humanoid appeared behind to distract him. He brought the phones the guys had threw away, and the way they were communicating, though a foreign language, one could tell they were sure that the signal they were tracking was the dispossessed phones.
The humanoids left. Smashing the phones behind them.
"sigh, they are gone" said Kelvin in an assuring manner.
"haha, bro Kelvin, you are so brilliant! How did you know that they were tracking our phones?" asked John.
"isn't it quite obvious, you guys are probably sons and daughters of big shots in the city, probably your phones don't lack data bundles, so you probably use the internet most often and it's estimated that your phone GPS were visible and location prune on the net, so the UFO 's probably used that opportunity to track us" answered Kelvin in the most easiest way he could put it.
"yeah, now to think of it, I was actually using Google maps to make sure that we are really going the right direction to the mountains" stated Diana as she was feeling dumb folded by Kevin's explanation.
"see? Stated Kelvin looking at the others as they felt they were totally the same.
'why would you need Google map when you can clearly see the mountain in front of you?' said Kelvin to himself 'pffft, nobles'.
The interceptor had just landed at the school when they realized that Kelvin was not there.
"why are we here exactly? Asked chiku for the fifth time.
" to search for clues! The signal lit to show the chosen one being around here first time I got here, but because of your stupidity being mistaken as courage, I failed to get the real chosen one! Answered Gregory in an angry manner.
" you blame me? Don't blame me! All I did was to act according to the way a leader should! Answered chiku angrily.
" damn it! Just shut up and let me think, and don't dare ask me why we are here again, or else I will make sure your fate is the same as that insolent brat that died here earlier!
" speaking of which, where is his corpse? All the people that died here's corpses are here, why not his? And you can't say that he survived, this place was burned to the ground when he fell unconscious and there was no survivor left around here. Who could have taken his corpse? Asked chiku.
Finally, it had hit Gregory's brain. "holy crap, of course! He was the chosen one!
" what? That brat? Asked chiku, shocked and dumb folded.
"indeed, the arrogance, courage, the words he said, brave, speaking in a manner to defend a title that wasn't even his, but figured that it certainly didn't belong to someone as stupid as you. He saw through you and acted like he was inferior to you, only because he was trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts. And he actually survived the explosion just now, certainly. He is the chosen one". Said Gregory as he held a thought of ambitious determination.
Chiku had seen that Gregory was probably thinking of finding the chosen one and talking him into favoring him as he had done before, but the assumption that Kelvin was the chosen one, that was totally a puzzle he couldn't solve.
"we must find him to better our chances in Orb city, let's look for clues or any form of life near by.
The guys started searching, Gregory searching for Kelvin as the chosen one, while Chiku searching for Kelvin as a corpse being treated by someone close to him.
Meanwhile, while these two were looking for their own form of Kelvin, back in the mother ship, something had happened.
The core had started glowing again, and this time, even brighter. The earth had rotated and the location of the ship was directly above Ndirande mountain.
"all troops dispatch, the core hasn't glit like this for a long time now. Definitely it must be the chosen one!"commanded the general.
Troops in three interceptors dispatched and flew to earth, the citizens of Orb city escorting them with eyes of hope and good will.
"general, the ship only has k47's as weapons, we have a total of 57 units, but these are the only weapons.... Secondary weapons are inaccessible, and we are just about drifting close to the battle dome. It's not long until the Burgedons reach us, moreover we can't escape, cause the mega thrusters are locked.
"don't worry my dear subordinate, lord Krypto is coming". Said the general in a calm manner.
The interceptors reached earth's atmosphere, and were descending.
"(in foreghn language) master, the advanced humans have breached the atmosphere, the probes await your command." said Galanta.
"let no vehicle land" ordered Kori'nh the commander.
Probes dispatched from the alien ship onto the interceptors, firing missiles and bullets, and the interceptors started taking hits.
Pilot of interceptor 01:"over! We are under attack sir!"
Pilot of interceptor 02:"Mayday, Mayday, we are hit!"
Pilot of interceptor 03:"general! Possibly I might survive but it's a negative we will deliver the chosen one!
" damn! They know we are trying to reach lord Krypto, they want to stop us from reaching him before the war."said the general.
" what shall we do General? "asked the commander.
" honestly, I do not know "answered the general with poor expression.
At that time Kelvin was in the cave with his friends.
" I am so hungry "said Natasha.
" so why are you telling us? "asked John in a unpleasant manner.
" I don't know, aren't you supposed to be a man? You are responsible for us right now, you are older than me" replied Natasha.
"hah, even if I were to find food right now, I'd rather eat it myself" said John in a proud way.
"shut up John" said David in an angry way, "we are all starving and we are all trapped in here, don't pester us just because we are men, we are all at fault, everyone must contribute".
Diana for the first time looked at Kelvin, he seemed to be in a deep state of thought.
"maybe Kelvin has a plan?" asked Diana out of curiosity.
Kelvin looked at David intensively.
"you smoke don't you?" asked Kelvin.
"y-yeah, why do you ask?" replied David.
Kelvin reached his hand out.
"so, can I borrow your lighter?" said Kelvin to David.
"how do you know that I have one?" asked David.
"dude, you are a rich kid" said Kelvin with a authentic obvious face.
David handed over his lighter. Kelvin took it and gathered some twigs and put them on top of a hole at the opening of the cave. He lit the twigs and took a knife from his pocket.
The guys were surprised as they saw mice running out from the hole. Kelvin stabbed them as they sprung out, one by one, though there were some misses but he managed to catch about six of them.
Then the rest gathered sticks and blazed up the fire and started roasting them.
"you guys eat up. I am not hungry". Said Kelvin to his friends.
"after eating, we should go down hill to pick our bags, it should be safe out there at night, we don't have wild animals in this part of the world.
At that time, the pilot of interceptor 03 had just regained consciousness.
" ugh, God, my head hurts. Thank God I am alive." thought to himself.
The pilot started checking signals of the mother ship in his crushed interceptor, but there was no signal. He then picked up a survival pack and got off the interceptor.
Meanwhile Gregory and Chiku had searched for Kelvin around the school areas, and went as far as shopprite. They went inside the shops searching each one of them and found no one, only a few dead humanoids.
"what happened here? Who could have killed these bastards? And by the looks of it, they seem to have been burnt by some explosive substance." asked chiku.
"you are asking someone who is just arriving here along with you and clearly stating what I can clearly see with my eyes. Why don't you work on your intelligence for a change?" scolded Gregory.
"whatever, but I know the explosion took place over there" said chiku, pointing to where the explosion set off.
"at least now you have assumpted something as someone who is of a higher caliber, the explosion indeed took place over here. We should probably check out the security footage" suggested Gregory.
The two streamed through the footage, and finally came to a conclusion.
"I knew it! Haha, that kid is the chosen one"screamed Gregory in a jolly manner.
" but how? He is not even scratched to any form of burning, didn't you blow the whole school down when we were leaving? How is he alive and with no scratch at all? "asked the puzzled chiku.
" it seems like you are not getting it, he is the chosen one, his healing capabilities are above human understanding. "answered Gregory in a profound manner.
" I know but...even his clothes are unscathed, how? "asked chiku.
" you can never underestimate the power of the chosen one. "answered Gregory.
They continued to watch the footage.
" look, they took camping gear, so obviously they headed to the hills. We should be able to tail them and find them before dawn. "said Gregory.
'seems that the brat is the chosen one, I can't seem to stand the fact that I will be a subordinate to him' thought chiku to himself as they left for the mountains." he must die ".
