Chapter 10 - UNLEASHED AND UNBOUND

At the spectators area, where Nasir's family was seated, his father Abbas was getting more and more upset with his situation and he was starting to make a scene while Bilkisu tried to calm him down.

 

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOTHING?!" Abbas screamed.

 

"am I supposed to tolerate this disrespect?!" he asked again loudly.

 

"I didn't say that. But you should know actions have consequences. You go around filling yourself to the brim with alcohol, then you just show up today and start making plans with them as if nothing happened." Bilkisu argued.

 

"they've seen EVERYTHING! Everything you've done, especially Nasir." she continued.

 

"see this ape! Because hand touch you small you de complain." Abbas snared.

 

"you think say to be family man na mumu work? Being with you is very hard, that's why I drink, to cope with the tragedy that is YOU and these bastards that came from your wretched womb!" he shouted.

 

Bilkisu's eyes weld up with tears, Asma and Shamsiyya stayed in shock as they heard this. People were looking and whispering to themselves, even Ahmad could here the commotion and his attention was drawn to them, just then Nasir got up and started running towards them as the argument continued.

 

"this was a mistake, I shouldn't have brought you here…" Bilkisu stated.

 

"... Nasir said the truth… you don't deserve to be called a father." she said.

 

Abbas' eyes widened in anger as he got up quickly from his chair, just as he raised his hand to hit Bilkisu, Nasir ran in and pushed him away from her making him fall into the row of people behind him.

 

Everyone watched in shock as the incident went down, gasps and whispers filled the air as Nasir stood on guard. Abbas staggered to his feet, the strength of his overwhelming him. He finally got back up he look completely feral, veins bulged from his forehead and all across his neck and his face was completely red. Nasir made his stance firm, ready to fight, Abbas lunged at Nasir and just before he could get to him, two teachers and a security man tackled him to the ground and restrained him. They bundled and picked him up as he shouted incoherent words at Nasir, they carried him away as Bilkisu and her daughters continued crying and Nasir just watched him in utter disdain and then went to his family to comfort them.

 

A few moments had past and everyone was still reeling from the incident just as the final parade came to an end. The only thing left was to take the photo for the winning house with their trophy and then the event closes, as they get ready to take the photo Bala starts putting more pressure on Ahmad to get a reaction out of him… and it was working.

 

"... so your friend get mind? Whats up with his…" Bala teased as Ahmad interrupted.

 

"don't even try it, just shut up so we can get through this rubbish, we still have put everything back after the picture." Ahmad snared.

 

"chill out bro, I was just surprised that he could even fight, the guy doesn't do much so it was mad to see him fetch that man like that." Bala said.

 

"whatever you think keep it to yourself, I'm not interested." Ahmad growled.

 

"ok ok ok fine then, I get it…" as Bala was about to continue, he spotted Ahmad's mom in the spectators area. An idea popped in his head as he grew a maniacal grin.

 

"... kai, is that your mom?" he asked. Ahmad's eyes widened in rage as he turned to look at Bala.

 

"bro chill! I'm not trying to vex you, but for real though, you must resemble your dad cause chai!" Bala said.

 

"I am WARNING you! Keep your mouth shut." Ahmad threatened as his eyes started glowing slightly and his grip tightened on the pole he was holding.

 

"(chuckles) yeah its true, from your reaction I'm sure you took after your dad…" Bala continued.

 

"... (grinds his teeth)…" as Ahmad tries to restrain himself, Sadiq had spotted their interaction and new trouble was coming.

 

"... shit, we have another problem." he said.

 

"what… what is it?" Umar asked.

 

"look now." Sadiq instructed as he pointed to Ahmad. The pole he was holding was starting to turn red, the same thing with his eyes.

 

"... this can't happen, why did they put those two together? This is going to spoil our whole thing." Umar panicked, Zainab also looked and spotted Ahmad and his anger appeased her as she smiled maniacally.

 

"we need to get them away from each other, where's Nasir?" Umar asked.

 

"you de craze? After what just happened you want to add him to all this?" Sadiq restrained.

 

"... urgh, then you have to do something, pour water on them or something!" Umar said.

 

"... uhmm, let me try something…" Sadiq said as he start walking fast towards Ahmad and Bala.

 

"(not on my watch.)"

 

Just before he could get anywhere Zainab used telekenisis and pushed Sadiq to the ground without moving a single muscle. Sadiq fell with thud hitting a few chairs on his way down, Umar stood dumbfounded as to how Sadiq could fall like that, he goes to check on him and just then…

 

"... I remember the first time we fought in primary 4, after Mr.Martins flogged us, your mom talked to me when she came to pick you…" Bala continued to infuriate Ahmad.

 

"... she sat me down on one of the desks and was preaching to me… and I remember the only thing I could really focus on…" he explained.

 

"... was how BIG her boobs were bro. Your pops really had fun guy." Bala said. Upon hearing this Ahmad's eyes glowed bright red and he let go of the pole he was holding.

 

"oh and speaking of which… where is your dad?…" he asked. Ahmad's flames grew as his rage overwhelmed him.

 

"... and here… we … GO!" Bala said as he also charged up his powers.

 

Ahmad's flames blazes all around, his eyes glowing crimson and the ground under him bursting into flames. People started to run away in fear while some stayed in shock of what was happening, Nasir was on his way out of the school already but when the red light shined everywhere and people running away and screaming, he made his way to the event ground. Sadiq and Umar stood in place, partly praying that this wasn't happening. Ahmad's mother stood and was in tears when she saw her son in this form.

 

Bala also began to charge up, his eyes glowed purple and lightning sparks flew everywhere, the two stared each other down, charging up their powers as the ground shook and a storm began to form in the clouds. Ahmad generated a red fire aura around him and started pulsing, the heat was felt all around the field, it was like a heatwave.

 

With there fists balled up and powers charged, Ahmad and Bala leaped at each other and their fists collided with a powerful explosion, the two rivals were covered in fire and lightning as they battled each other within, they threw punches simultaneously both connecting with the others knuckles. Bala kicked Ahmad's leg forcing him to lose balance, he then follows up with another kick to the gut sending Ahmad flying into the yellow house canopy and this makes it burst into flames upon impact, Ahmad explodes out of the fire and shoots a fire ball at Bala, Bala jumps out of the way and fires a lightning blast at Ahmad but he also evades. Ahmad charges up and forms two fire balls in both hands, he fires them and continues to fire them rapidly at Bala. Bala evades them swiftly but Ahmad is not letting up, he continues to move around evading fireballs until he jumps into the air in an attempt to avoid an explosion but is caught by a few fireballs, causing another explosion forcing him to fall to the ground.

 

"(scoffs) your better than I thought you would be." Bala said as he got back up off the ground. Ahmad just glares at him with eyes glowing with fire. Bala leaps back at Ahmad and the battle rages on.

 

As the fight continues, the drone has been recording everything that has happened up until now, Agent Layi had his jaw on the floor watching what was happening, he snaps out of it and immediately calls for Agent Kolawole. When he arrived, he was shown the footage.

 

"this is perfect…how long before our units can mobilize?" he asked.

 

"In a few minutes sir." Agent Layi answered.

 

"good, have them move in the school and neutralize those Nucrons!" Agent Kolawole instructed.

 

"inside the school? Sir we can't…" Agent Layi was interrupted.

 

"this has gone passed any ruling or law in existence, tell them to move in and neutralize them NOW! Before they destroy the school." Agent Kolawole commanded.

 

"... yes sir." Agent Layi complied.

 

As the battle continues, everyone else stood back watching the two rivals try to destroy each other. Ahmad's screams of rage fill the air with every punch or kick he throws, Bala maintaining the maniacal grin he had since the beginning of the battle. The dark clouds hover in the air with purple lightning crashing all over the place, walls of fire grow higher and stronger as the battle continues with no end in sight.

 

Just outside the school, G arrives and is greeted with the uncanny scene of Ahmad and Bala's battle, his eyes widen in shock, his worst fear has come true and it was even worse than he thought. G zooms up and stops infront of the gates, with no one in sight, he decides to open the gate and let himself in, he heads straight to the field to stop Ahmad before its too late, little did he know, it was already too late.

 

Bala fires a massive lightning blast at Ahmad who tries to shield himself but the force is too much and he is flying across the field then manages to catch himself by blowing fire on the ground and slowing himself down and landing safely on the ground. Ahmad grins at Bala and the two stare each other down, they then leap at each other once again but just before they could collide G arrived on the scene…

 

"AHMAD!!!" he screamed amidst the loud storms, crashing lightning and burning grounds. Ahmad turned to look at G, taking his attention away from his rival, this allowed Bala to land a vicious blow on Ahmad's face.

 

Ahmad fell to the ground, his ear ringing as he laid there but he quickly shakes it off and gets back up to continue his fight. G watches in shock at Ahmad defying him, he turns and sees Sadiq and Umar just standing their watching the fight.

 

"what the hell are you doing still standing their? stop them!" G commanded. Sadiq and Umar looked at each other.

 

"NOW!" G screamed and they immediately jump into action.

 

Umar generated a large rock from the ground blocking Ahmad and Bala from getting to each other, Sadiq and Nasir follow up by using their water and air powers to push Ahmad and Bala back. The two were sent flying across the school grounds, Nasir maintained his force on Bala, knowing that he was the catalyst for this whole ordeal. After putting out the flames, Sadiq went to Ahmad and tried to calm him down. Zainab who watching this whole time decides to be the herald of chaos one more time and used one of her unknown powers to get behind Umar and knock him out by just putting her hand on his head momentarily, Umar lost all function of his body, his eyes close instantly and he fell to the ground like a bag of rice. Zainab then used her telekinesis to choke Nasir, this forced him to let up on Bala and Bala took this advantage and shot Nasir with a lightning blast sending him flying away and crashing into the pile of trash bins.

 

Sadiq saw this and was about to attack Bala but was stopped in his tracks by Zainab with her telekinesis. As he struggled to breath, he turned and spotted Zainab smiling sadistically, he immediately knew what was happening but passed out unable to do anything. Zainab disappeared behind one of the poles of the green house canopy and leaving Bala and Ahmad to continue their fight. Ahmad got up as he witnessed his friend fall to the ground, before he could do anything, Bala attacked him with a barrage of lightning blasts, he jumps away to avoid them and lands on the other side of the event ground.

 

"Ahmad! Stop this now!" get…" G screamed when a lightning blast fired infront of him. Bala grinned as he stood arrogantly in the distance.

 

"how dare you?!" Ahmad grunted.

 

"Ernnrrahhhh!" Ahmad screamed as his anger grew, his flames got bigger, his eyes bright red and the area around him bursting into flames, he put both fists together and started charging a fireball, as his anger grew, his power kept on rising, charging up the ball with more fire power as it grows. Bala smiled and followed suit, charging up his own lightning blast. The storm got bigger and darker, it began to rain and the earth began to shake as these two powerhouses prepared to collide with each other.

 

"show me your power Kuso! Show me your… POWEEEERRRR!!!!!" Bala screamed as he fired the powerfull lightning blast at Ahmad.

 

"you attack my friends, my mentor and you disrespect my parents, you'll regret what you did today… you will PAAAYYYYY!!!!!" Ahmad screamed as he also fired his fire blast at Bala.

 

The two elemental beams were ready to collide, destroying everything in their path … but before it they could clash, Ahmad and Bala were attacked and covered by a black laser beam. The two fell to the ground, their blasts and aura's dissipating as they were enveloped by this mysterious laser. At the origin of the beam was a bazooka-like canon, behind this canon was a man dressed in covert tactical uniform, with a weapon on every part of his body, his face covered with a mask and helmet, exerting a cold demeanor. It was the task force, meant to capture all Nucrons who were at large, and they were here for Ahmad, Bala and the others.

 

The task force quickly apprehended G and sedated him, they also gathered up the other boys and thought they were already passed out, they sedated them anyway. Ahmad and Bala were still being blasted with this black beam, they were writhing in agony, it was as if the beam was tearing them apart from the inside. They slowly started to loose consciousness, they were fading fast, Ahmad tried to fight back but it was no use, he was in too much pain to use his powers, he tries to move but was barely able to lift his body. He is then able to move to his side and lay on his back, when he turns to his right he spots his mom on the ground in tears looking weak, his eyes well up with tears as he realizes what he has done. A member of the task force walks up to Ahmad's mom and helps her up, when she wants to go to him she is stopped but when she tries to resist, she is electrocuted and she passes out in the arms of the task force officer. Ahmad's rage spikes and fire begins to exude from his body, the task force officer is stunned at Ahmad's perseverance but is undeterred and turns the canon's dial up to 5 and Ahmad's power is quickly shutdown and he passes out after a few seconds.

 

The task force gather all of them up and hall them into a black van and one of them radios in on their earpiece.

 

"sir, the task is complete. We have all the boys including their mentor, with an additional Nucron with lightning powers." he reported.

 

"excellent! Take them to base and have them be prepared for shipping, no delays, we're sending them to to the Island." the man on the other side commanded.

 

"yes sir." the task force member answered. They close the van doors and take them to their base where they will be shipped to the Nucron holding facility.
