Chapter one ~savior or slaver

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.
