This storyis a Super Power AU where all six knights have different abilities. Also, in this AU, the tenkai planet does not exist, and they do not have core bricks.
Also Beni is Ceylan's adoptive sister, moving on!
In and out
In and out
That's what happens to everyone whose ever even been about twenty feet close to me. They come into my life without warning, and just as quickly leave it. It's just like that. That's how it happened with my school friends, my parents, and my foster brother Ceylan and his family just a few years ago.
I probably forgot to introduce myself in my own rambling, so I'll get to that now
My name is Beni. I am fifteen years old, I have long pink hair that falls into two twin tails near the ends and turquoise eyes that are almost always half open even if I'm not tired. I'm short and a bit thin but not scrawny or flat, and I'm almost always avoided or ignored by everyone else around me. I guess that's what comes with being different than everyone else. I also don't tend to show much affection or close bonds to other people, which is why I don't really catch other people's interest if I show none.
No one is ever really near me long enough to develop any attachment or closeness to me, or vice versa
After my mother abandoned me with my father when I was only an infant, almost a decade later I ran away from him. I was only eight years old, with an extreme paranoia of everything and everyone around me.
Eventually I was "rescued" by authorities and put in the custody of a Foster Center before getting adopted a few years later by the Jones family.
They were nice, and overall a fairly normal and caring family, but I only lasted almost halve a year with them before they were unable to take proper care of me, and by that I mean I could not be properly protected under their care.
Now here I am a few years later: living in a large mansion in the middle of a thick coniferous forest at least fifty miles away from the nearest city of Benham.
Though I will admit that I am not completely alone, nor am I the only person living here in the mansion. I have two other companions, both boys. Their names are Chooki Mason and Guren Nash. They also live here, but they arrived at the mansion one month before I did.
Chooki is a good few inches taller than me. He has earthy green eyes and spiky blond hair framing the front of his face, with dark brunette hair grown just long enough to be pulled back into a low ponytail. He's a fairly athletic guy, and tends to go out a lot and exercise and practice sports.
His personality is calm and patient, though I doubt he's capable of actually keeping up a good conversation with me. As far as I've seen, he has yet to be so far as rude or mean to me. He's not uncomfortable with me by any means, that's not an issue for either of us, but he does have difficulties trying to get accustomed with others, to be more specific my unresponsive and otherwise cold appearance and behavior. I'd personally count him as more of an acquaintance than as an actual friend.
Guren is in the middle of us in terms of height. While he is taller than me, he's still shorter than Chooki. The front of his hair is a bright red, and the back of it is a deep brown. He also has dark, navy blue eyes. Guren is a very optimistic type, and it's very easy for others to befriend him quickly.
He enjoys playing video games, and almost always hangs out with Chooki when he's not doing anything else. He used to try to get to know me better, but then he backed off a bit after I almost(practically did) punched him in the gut for asking me about my family background. He didn't know better, but now he knows better than to pry on my past.
But we're not JUST three young adolescents living together in a hidden mansion all by ourselves, oh no. That would, to be simply put, have no logical explanation for it. And it would have quite a few flaws.
There is one other person who actually takes care of us and being held responsible for our wellbeing, they sort of like an adult guardian if you will.
And that guardian is Blair Scarponi.
Blair is twenty five years old, and has pretty mid-length platinum-silver hair and hazel eyes. She tends to be very serious about keeping an eye over Chooki, Guren, and I, and she's very keen on making sure we don't get into any trouble, but she could be laid back if the opportunity came. She also has a habit of training me more in self defense, as well as learning to fend for myself. Her main priority is to keep us safe and away from any harm or danger that could come.
Of course, Chooki and Guren don't get as much training from her as I do, seeing as how neither of them really need it as much as I do, so Chooki tends to just sit near the corner of the room and sometimes watch from the sidelines while we train one-on-one, occasionally stating a fumble or mistake that either Blair or I made, but he also knows when to keep quiet. Guren never stays long enough to watch our sessions and would go off to do something else, like eat a snack or go for a walk around the mansion.
But Blair being responsible for us is one thing. As for why the four of us were living in a manor in the middle of nowhere training was whole other topic.
Blair's part of an small organization known as S.P.E.E.D.(Special Protective, Extensive and Exclusive Defense) that handles "rare" cases where children are unable to be taken care of by anyone, and I mean anyone. With rare in quotation marks meaning that this is what's legally on paper for the sake of simple avoidance of any overly complicated explanation of the actual reasons of the organization. Though she never explained it, I figured by first glance when I first met Blair that this organization did not just handle impossible kids, it goes farther than that.
Blair does not handle Chooki, Guren and I simply because we are problematic teens who're too much of a hassle for anyone to handle.
Blair handles us because we have extremely special, and very strong powers.
She told me herself in the beginning, when I had first met her that we were here because of this. This also applied to the boys as well, as hard as it is to believe. Because our abilities are too grand and powerful for its knowledge of them to fall in the wrong hands, we were put under the care and observance of her organization. This also explains the isolated environment and seclusion from any public area or open population.
Blair explained the situation to us a few days after I first arrived. Therefor, we had to go through training, and very different training paths. Where as my training was more of a hands on physical and emotional path of control training, Chooki's was based more on mental and psychological control. Guren's training was a bit of everything mixed into being all emotionally, physically, and mentally in control of his abilities.
See, Chooki has the power of invisibility and teleportation. He can disappear at any given moment and reappear at the most unexpected places. in one second he could be in the kitchen getting a snack, and in the next he could be sitting in the main living room lounging on the couch, then he'll be in another room a second later. This happens by choice or if Chooki's startled.
After a while, you eventually get used to seeing him vanish completely and pop up some place else. But teleporting and remaining invisible for long periods of time takes a large toll on Chooki's energy, and he's constantly needing rest, snacks, and breaks to keep his energy levels constant. Blair even keeps a tracker on him just to make sure he's still in the building, and not gone outside of the property grounds.
Guren has the ability to control fire and bend it to his will, to a certain extent. Any sort of friction gives him the ability to start and create a flame in his hands, or any part of his body. But because fire is still not 100% controllable, it's sometimes difficult for Guren to fully keep it in check. There have been numerous instances where he's had to pull the fire alarm and activate the fire sprinklers because he'd accidentally set fire to a piece of furniture, or something else in the building.
Long story short, now he's required to wear flame-proof clothing almost 24/7 as well as have Blair make everything in the mansion flame-resistant as well. Whenever he's using the training room, all the A.C.'s are turned off and the whole room is barricaded to keep any accidental open fires from spreading.
Blair herself has no special powers, or any unique abilities, so sometimes she has a hard time training the three of us to control our own powers when she herself has nothing to go by. There no book on how to train or control these abilities. But she has an immense amount of determination, and she strives to do better every time she trains with any or all of us.
My powers, unfortunately, aren't as simple as Guren's fire bending or as fancy as Chooki's invisibility and teleportation.
I can summon and control shadows. That fact alone is enough to cause and instill fear to anyone and everyone who's not me. Any shadow is at the will for me to use, and because we're in the middle of a very heavy forest, there's never a limit of shadows for me to use. Even inside with all the lighting there's always something casting a shadow for me to take and bend.
There's a lot of things I can do with shadows: I can camouflage and stay hidden in my surroundings, use them to keep a person grounded where they stand, send them out and patrol my surroundings, travel at inhumane speeds within them, even collect them in a ball and attack with the amount of cold energy put into them.
But, that's not to say that having these powers come with no limits. All powers come at a price, and that price is generally not worth the powers bestowed on us.
These powers are both a blessing a curse. For me it's more of the latter.
We normally tend to be so careful about keeping everything about ourselves and our location a secret, so it shouldn't have come as a big surprise to any of us when, eventually, we became careless, and let the smallest of mistakes fall out of the safety and protection of the mansion.
But really, I should have expected this to happen.
I should have never expected this little sanctuary to stay safe. I should have never believed that this peaceful safe spot, this little haven of protection would hide me forever, or Chooki and Guren for that matter. I should have never gotten my hopes up in my desperation that I'll be free from both my past and myself.
And yet, that's exactly what I did.
Me and my weak feelings.
Note: This story is not set in stone, and I may or may not finish it completely. Just so I don't get anyone's hopes up when there's not updates to it.
I remind every one that I do this in my limited free time, and can stop whenever I feel I do not want to,or cannot keep writing this story.
I also don't have a stable schedule, so updates could come as short as a few days, or as long as a few months in between.
And please don't ask bout my other story, it's a bit complicated, and that story will be on hold until further notice.
Any-who, Later!~CoolBreeze15
