Chapter 6:
Lyceus Awaits
The 3 members were Ramos, Riley Grayson and Justin Case. All of them were unique in their own aspects.
According to the digging Axcel had done following were their abilities, personalities and overall profiles:
Ramos was an unmarried 35 years old. His extemely arrogant and self centered personality made him incompatible with most people. He always used to brag about himself and his skills which people in general did not like. Ramos was a good person at heart, his actual problem was that he was extremely bad at expressing himself or his point so due to his behaviour and actions at times people would think he was selfish and that he only cared for himself. Another reason that he was hated was because he usually didn't listen to others. He only respected and listened to Nathan Gale just like the other members. They all saw Nathan like a father figure. When no one understood Ramos Nathan did. Besides that Nathan was the only one that could tame a man like Ramos.
Nathan saw the potential in Ramos and became the one to give him a suit when he was in his 20s. Ramos's suit was fully orange and an exception to his suit was that it was bigger than normal suits. He had the ability to harden any part of his suit and he could grow spikes on his knuckles. Another one of his abilities was that he could shutdown suits temporarily after 5 punches. He was a very formidable fighter and no one in the team except Nathan could rival his raw strength.
Riley Grayson was 22 years old, one of the youngest team member. Her personality was honest, humble and straightforward but different and always serious. Riley was always determined to complete the missions Nathan gave them. As she was good at everything she tried to do most people around her were either jealous of her or stayed friends with her to gain benefits. By time she became more and more unfit in the society. She used to get bullied at school and get betrayed by friends. Her parents were very supportive of her. They loved her dearly and acknowledged her but at times she got mentally unstable and felt lonely.
It all changed when Nathan acknowledged her accomplishments and gave her a suit. Although she was now more seperated from the society by being a suit wearer she didn't care anymore. Now she had new friends who actually cared for her. Riley's suit was fully silver and an exception to her suit was that her blasters were different from other ones. She had the ability to control and create sounds and vibrations using her blasters and her supersonic scream could even bend metals. She also had superhearing. Her abilities were very useful and advantageous for the team and her.
Justin Case was 23 years old, also one of the youngest team members. His personality was honest and kind. He had very good humour and had a high tolerance level. He always tried to act cool and filled his personality with cool stuff. He found Nathan and the team very cool and considered Nathan his cool big bro. His parents died when he was still a 9 years old kid so he became an outsider and got bullied for it. Despite always tried to be cool he always felt lonely and sad inside, being cool was his escape to all that.
When Justin was 15 he tried to sneak into a city there he saw Nathan in action. He found Nathan really cool and thats how he got obsessed with cool things. Justin called Nathan when he was about to go back. Justin appreciated him and looked excited. Nathan found him as an interesting kid so he took him back with him and gave him a suit to join the team. He found Nathan and the team very cool and considered Nathan his cool big bro so he was really happy with this opportunity. Justin's suit was fully light green and an exception to his suit was that his blasters were also different from other ones. He had the ability to create portals from his blasters anytime. This would help them travel faster to far away places. He would have to think of the place himself or channel the place from someone else's mind. He could also teleport to places that he could see nearby whenever he wanted to and with as many people. He could also use the portals and teleportation in combat but ofcourse he needed a weapon so he used an advanced sword to fight.
Justin and Riley were in a relationship and hoping to be married soon. They were the light of eachother's life and loved eachother deeply. Both were honest and made up for the things the other lacked. They also made eachother stable and happy. They were like the pieces of jigsaw pieces that fit in perfectly together. They fell in love with each other since the moment they saw eachother.
Axcel[on the mic]: William evacuate right now! You can't fight right now especially when they are three.
William: No! I am not going anywhere until the mission is completed.
*William turned off the mic*
Ramos: So you are the one they call Lyceus, the one who took out Linda. I wonder if you are actually tough.
William: Come and find out.
Ramos: i like your energy lad but it won't help you. Let's get over with this shall we.
The three attacked William at the same time. William was having a lot of trouble fighting not 1, not 2 but 3 suit wearers. He was taking a lot of damage, one of his arms even broke when Ramos punched it. He had gotten punched by Ramos 2 times if he got punched 3 more times he would be done for. Another problem was that his mind was blurry because of all the sounds and vibrations caused by Riley. Even if he dodged or regained consciousness Justin would hit him out of his sense right out of nowhere by teleporting. He was unable to attack or defend.
Ramos: So you were a weak one to begin. Your ability to manipulate gravity is overpowered but you still can't use it to its fullest. I wonder why they had trouble bringing you in.
Justin and Riley: Let's just bring him in you know talk less work more.
Ramos: All right. All right. Let's do this.
*William turned on the mic*
William: I guess I will have to use it.
Axcel[on the mic]: I warned you. Now I hate to say it but its the only so use it.
*Axcel turned off the mic*
After that William turned off his pain and everything went to being a bit blur for him so he lost control. After that when Ramos was about to punch him William punched him back head on. Even though Ramos hardened that part of his suit it had cracked and Ramos was sent flying. After that the moment Justin teleported William grabbed Justin by his neck using his broken arm and slammed in the ground before he could use a portal on him. Riley got furious and used her supersonic scream. William wasn't feeling anything on his body but his ears were creating a bit of problem for him and his head was hurting from all the sounds and vibrations. Its true that William couldn't feel at the moment but his brain was getting damaged which no matter what would effect him and his actions.
William: You b*tch. You think I need ears to defeat you.
Riley: Wait... What are you about to do? What kind of a monster are you?
William punched both of his own ears using gravity so hard that he became deaf, ofcourse for a while as he was regenerating at a really high speed. He used gravity to travel faster and was in front of Riley in no time. Riley wasn't even able to react and William punched her into the ground senseless.
William: This f*cking mouth of yours has been causing me a lot of trouble.
He grasped her neck with both his hands and choked her till she was unconcious. Right at that moment Justin got up and used his sword to hit William but it wasn't doing any damage effective enough to stop William. William got pissed off. He grabbed one arm of Justin and kicked his leg so hard that it broke. Then he let go of Justin and watched him fall to the ground. Justin had already created a portal when he was on ground before so the moment Ramos came through it was to his surprise that William was actually this strong. He understood the true ability and danger of Lyceus. He harden his fist as much as he could and punched William's face with his spiked knuckles.
Ramos: I hope that gets the job done. What the...
Ramos was surprised that William's face and ears were healing in no time and he was standing just fine.
Ramos: Ok if that's not gonna end it maybe the remaining two punches might shut you down.
Ramos quickly delivered two more punches while William was fully regenerating. It was to his surprise that the suit did shutdown and unable him to use claws and gravity but William was still regenerating and feeling no pain. William tried to punch away from Ramos but failed. Ramos delivered him as many punches as he could but even though they did weaken William they weren't enough to stop him. The powered back up in no time. William was regaining a bit of control and he knew he can't hang in anymore or his body would give up so he used one his claws to scratch the face of Ramos. From all the punches William took he was almost completely back to his senses now and he was feeling a lot of pain so he used his mind with difficulty and took the business man with him using gravity.
Ramos was filled with rage by his escape but he knew he couldn't chase him as he had to help his team members, Riley and Justin first.
William got back to Axcel with the business man. Axcel asked William to sleep. Axcel's last words to William before William slept were that "We need a team".
*Next morning*
William: Did you get anything out of the business man.
Axcel: Yup a lot in fact I have more information that we can use in our plans now so just rest easy.
William: Also you were right we do need a team to complete our goal.
Axcel(shocked): Hey! Are you serious?
William: Yeah, why?
Axcel(happily): No reason just asking. I will get right onto it but for now focus on your exams, they are literally next month. I will find suitable members and check their profiles. We will gather out team in summer vacation and i have decided our team will be named Argonauts.
