And here, our story begins.

Screaming and panic filled terror traverses through the street as the slobbering villain bellowed a howl of hunger. But little did he know, his huge exterior and rows of sharp teeth could not seduce what was to come above. I soared down and prepared a landing punch, with the force of the hardened void in my hand. I pulled back, extended my reach, and from the soaring sky, the pavement caves and the monsters head cracked. He screamed with horror as the lights went out. I expected a lot of cheers and sighs as I defeated the monster, and his corpse laid in a smoking heap on the hot pavement. But, they stood in shock.

“THE MONSTERS OWN LEADER KILLED IT!”

“HOW RUTHLESS!”

“GET AWAY! HE’LL KILL US!”

Confused, I stood there. But nonetheless, I hopped from the corpse and walked towards them in an attempt to explain, but like a flash, I was tackled, and apprehended by an unknown force. They cheered in delight as I was flung from the street to the middle of the lake with incredible force. While in the air, I extended my hand, and a pillar of void reached to my. I turned my hand into a long tentacle and grabbed on. I lept up, and looked. Oh, perfect. Number One Hero, Grandboom, has zoomed and stolen my spotlight. He can summon fire in numerous quantities, which explains how he tackled and flew me to drown.

“I’ve never seen a villain quite as obnoxiously stupid as you. Who might you be?” He says, in a haughty tone

“I-villain? No sir, I tried to help those people.”

“But… your abilities. I’ve only seen countless villains past use that, and I know when I see a villain.”

“I can assure you sir, I mean no harm.” My heart beat in my chest like thunder asunder. I was presumed a villain for my abilities?

“Even so…” He trailed off. The people looked at him with awe and might. A couple people started recording and pointing their phones and cameras directly at me.

“No. The abilities you wield are to powerful to be wielded with the people in mind. Give up being a hero now, or I will see to it you are made to quit. If you become a villain, I’ll kill you anyways.”

“So, umm, lose-lose?”

“Yes. Or you win and don’t “lose-lose” your life”

“With all due respect sir, It’s been my dream to be a hero all my life. I idolized your predecessor, Univar. I can’t quit”

I hadn’t noticed, but more heroes showed up as I talked. A and B ranking heroes, mainly.

“Then for this, I apologize. You seem like a capable young man. Maybe you’ll survive.”

In an instant, he charged, with intent to explode me instead of fight me. I rose a wall, and he crashed into it. His Will didn’t falter, and he kept charging. He kept going into it, and the wall cracked, but didn’t break. I prepared a punch, and he broke through. I punched, and he flew against the bottom wall of the pier. The crowd of heroines and heroes, and civilians all gasped in awe.

“Leave him. Hell will come in time.”

The next day, the papers arrived. They claimed I was neutral, not villainous or good. Neutral Powers are considered the most dangerous of all, because their actions are seen as a flip, to switch. I am not a hero, or a villain. I’m the worst kind of intersection.
