“What did you just say?” his father spoke furiously, as his father grabbed his mother and began to threaten her.
“You heard me, that’s enough! Leave Mom out of this!” Aiden warned him.
Aiden’s father refused to listen and started to raise his hand towards his mother, Aiden intervened and punched his father preventing him from hurting her. They began to clash in a fight which resulted in a lot of havoc. His father recovered from that punch and grabbed Aiden, throwing him against furniture in the lounge. Aiden flew across the lounge hitting his head with glass and wood pieces of the furniture, making him unconscious on the lounge floor, in attempts to defend his mother from his father.

The vastness of the universe reappeared the exact same space trance sequence that Trixie and Veronica got before. Aiden looked at Mr. Universe and around him to see what was going on. The cosmic entity stared at Aiden and began to speak to him in his calm voice:
“You’ve done what you could to help your mother.”
“Is this real or some sort of trance going on? Whatever this is, get me out of it, so I can help my mother,” Aiden spoke desperately.
“You will be able to help your mother, if you are willing to pass these trials of mine,” Mr. Universe continued. “If you pass these trials, I will grant you abilities or powers that will help you defend your mother and others around you.”
Aiden thought deeply about this. He simply said; “Deal!”
The primordial entity began to ask his 3 questions, as Aiden answers them in order; “I desire that I can live freely, mainly Mom will be free of this mess. I wish my Mom and I can just not live in a restricted lifestyle or be under abuse or pressure anymore. I will use these abilities to teach the abusers and others if necessary, to show them what is actually right from wrong or wrong from right.”
Mr. Universe takes a while to think, since deep down he knew that Aiden is a tough human being, but he has suffered an abusive childhood, he simply says; “You have passed Mr. Alves.” The space dream sort of trance became blank black and faded away.

Bruised by glass shards and chips of wood from the furniture, Aiden’s cheeks were bleeding slightly as he woke up and got off the ground. He looked straight at his father with his mother, still he was furious at him. But uncontrollably, he experienced a sign of transformation that was beginning to happen in a blink of an eye. After a split second, his entire body including his clothes completely went invisible and he looked at his hands, seeing that they were entirely transparent, nothing to be seen. He was beginning to experience flashes of invisible light arrays that he could only see, as he was approaching his father.
“What the-?” his father spoke in a confusing manner as Aiden turned invisible entirely.
As Aiden approached his father, he spoke in an angered tone; “This will end now, no more!”
His father began to get scared and suddenly saw a piece of furniture that was hanging on the wall, beginning to collapse and head towards him, as Aiden struck with his invisible arrays of intangible attacks that could phase through any object. Aiden began to perform his invisible hidden attacks on his father.
SMACK! SMASH!
He struck his father on his stomach and face with his hidden attacks, which made him fall to the ground unconscious. He looked down and suddenly felt bad on what he just did, regretting it deep down. The hidden attacks involved arrays of invisible energy that only Aiden could see, as he performed these combative moves, with his invisibility, meaning he could even have attacks through phase able objects.
His invisibility turned off uncontrollably as his mother witnessed him, causing the mess in the lounge, and stopping his father. Aiden stared at his mother sadly and spoke: “I’m sorry Mom that I did this. Report this to the authorities that he has been messing with you and me all our lives. I’m sorry, I have to go, I don’t know what is happening to me now.”
Aiden took off as his mother started to feel sad as her son ran out of the house, she yelled “Aiden WAIT!” But it was too late, Aiden was already gone before she knew it, he probably turned invisible without even knowing.
Chapter 7
Metanite
Date: September 9th, 2020
The archers were gathered in a line formation as the tournament was about to start. Luis carried his quiver of arrows alongside with his bow, and crossbow too, for additional archery skills within the tournament. The sign at the archery tournament said, “Allentown’s Archery Tournament of 2020”, with families sitting and watching as the archers prepped themselves for the round of games. Luis nervously readied his bow and arrow as the round of the games began.
Luis was still wondering what was going on with Veronica and Trixie especially, since the last time he encountered them. Something strange was going on indeed, he thought. He really wished he were there to know what was going on truly but with this archery tournament in the way, he must attend it. The tournament was setup with a total of 4 matches, whereas 3 matches to help get to the finals in the entire tournament. Luis knew deep down that he remembered the words, never ever rely on just accuracy or precision alone, rely on both when shooting arrows towards the bullseye target. He approached the starting line. It was several meters from the target, and stood alongside his first opponent, Steve Miller.
The archery tournament was scored based on percentage of accuracy, of who has the best precision and accuracy on shooting the bullseye. Aiden had to
