Fire sparked violently in his hand as he rushed in for a close strike
But—
A blur ,faster than Light itself.
The serpent's tail whipped across his body.
BOOM.
Jonathan was sent flying, his body crashing into the sand.
Jonathan: Gah—!
Pain exploded through him as if every bone in his body broken into pieces.
Jonathan: I… I can't… feel—
He froze.
Jonathan: …Wait…
A warmth spread through his chest.
Not pain.
Something else.
A golden glow flickered from within him—the same light from the hospital.
His breathing steadied.
His vision sharpened.
His body… was healing.
Jonathan: No…
He pushed himself up, shaking.
Jonathan: NO!
The energy surged stronger.
Jonathan: I WON'T DIE HERE!
The sand trembled around him as he stood.
Jonathan: I have a reason… a purpose… I just know it!
The serpent attacked again—
Multiple sand blasts fired toward him.
Jonathan moved.
Left.
Right.
Left again.
Faster.
Sharper.
Jonathan: I can see it…
His body moved on instinct.
Then—
In a flash—
He vanished.
And reappeared beside the serpent's head.
Jonathan: GOT YOU!
His fist ignited violently.
Jonathan: BLAZE BURN!
He slammed the attack directly into the serpent's face.
BOOM.
The serpent roared, shaking the entire dimension.
But it didn't fall.
Jonathan landed, breathing heavily.
Jonathan: …You're not going down…
The serpent turned, its massive eyes locking onto him once more.
Unshaken and unstoppable.
Jonathan clenched his fists.
Then—
A realization hit him.
Jonathan: …Fine.
As his hands unclenched,
He took a step forward.
Jonathan: If you won't go down…
His hand raised slowly.
Jonathan: I'LL JUST BECOME YOU!
He leapt high into the air, landing on the serpent's forehead.
Wind roared violently around him.
Jonathan closed his eyes.
Focused.
Jonathan: Come on… work…
Golden energy began to spread across the serpent's body.
At first Nothing happened.
Then—
It started pulling inward.
The serpent thrashed violently.
The sand storm spiraled out of control.
Jonathan: GRAAAAH!!
The pressure surged through his body.
Too much, too fast.
His veins burned.
His vision cracked with light.
Jonathan: I CAN'T—!
But he didn't stop.
The glow intensified then suddenly—
Everything collapsed inward.
The serpent's massive form began to break apart—
Turning into streams of energy—
Being pulled directly into Jonathan's hand.
The sand that was once roaring…. Has vanished.
Jonathan stood alone breathing heavily
Then—
Jonathan: AAAAHHH!!
He screamed, the power surging through him uncontrollably.
His body shook violently—
Then—
Silence.
Slow claps echoed behind him.
Clap… clap… clap…
Ed stepped forward.
Ed: Impressive.
Jonathan turned slowly.
Ed: You passed the test.
Ed continued walking, observing him closely.
Ed: Though… I expected you to destroy it.
He stopped in front of him.
Ed: But this… is far more interesting.
Jonathan: …What do you mean?
Ed's eyes narrowed slightly.
Ed: I was able to study you during the battle.
Jonathan frowned.
Jonathan: Study… me?
Ed: Yes.
A faint smile formed.
Ed: Whatever you absorb…
He gestured toward Jonathan's hand.
Ed: You don't just take whatever… it's more than that. You refine,enhance, and make it your own.
Jonathan looked down at his hand, still trembling.
Ed: You can return attacks with greater force, adapt abilities and even able to transform.
Ed stepped closer.
Ed: Your power isn't just a destructive skill
It's assimilation.
Jonathan: …Assimilation…?
Ed: That is what you are. Now that I've taken a good look at you.
I believe you are ready for high school. I will inform your parents the information at once. I'll teleport you to the school at once. Your teacher will be Dr.Dre. He is already aware of your arrival. Take care we will speak again soon.
As Jonthan gets Teleported infront of a school Ten times bigger than the school before. He looks at his hands.
Jonathan: Finally a calm moment. I feel stronger. Like I actually can do something with my life. I will try my hardest to do whatever I can. My fate begins let's do this.
Little did Jonathan know… his fate….. already started
