Chapter 20 - The Beginning Of The End

We are then taken back 13 years in the past..of the current time.

We follow Erykah's brother "Rafik" and how he discovers the origin of his powers, and his destiny.

———

An African American boy is slanting on the wall of a building…smoking a cigarette.

"Yo Rafik!..it's about to start."

A guy says to Rafik.

"Cool."

We then see two African American boys entering into a building.

"Yo!…they're here."

People say among the crowd.

"Okay folks.. time to get this party started——our two competitors are here."

Rafik anddddddd treyyyyy."

An announcer says from above.

The crowd then starts screaming.

"And their opponents are—."

"Yohan and Thoka!!!!!."

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!."

The opposite crowd screams.

"Ok I want a clear clean fight——no bullshit, you got that you guys."

The referee says.

"Yeah whatever!."

Thoka says staring directly at Rafik.

"Begin."

———

Thoka and yohan fall back to the edge…Thoka uses his earth Abilities to raise and kick a rock towards rafik——Rafik immediately freezes the rock and starts throwing ice shards at Thoka…Thoka raises the ground to prevent the ice shards from touching him.

"Did you forget about me!!.."

Trey says as he comes behind Thoka..creating a gun out of thin air to shoot at him.

"Nah we didn't!!!."

Yohan says, throwing himself unto Trey in the form of a tiger…

"Bad kitty!!."

Trey says, creating a shield to block the teeth's from sinking into him.

Rafik then rushes towards Thoka with a sword made out of ice..Thoka weaves..and kicks rafik in the stomach.

"Face it…you're gonna loose Rafik."

Thoka says, smirking.

"We'll see about that."

Rafik, says charging at Thoka——Thoka swings at him with a sword made out of stone…but rafik slides under Thoka's leg.

"Hu-."

Before Thoka could even process the move…Rafik touches his back from below…freezing him instantly.

"I told you..we'll see about that."

Rafik says, smirking.

"It seems, Thoka has been taken down…we will count to 10 and if he doesn't respond..he's outtttt."

The commentator says.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,."

"Oh shit thoka…"

Yohan says as he transforms into a cheetah, and heads towards thoka to help him.

"You don't just walk away from a fight."

Trey says, creating a huge hammer, hitting yohan away.

"8."

"9."

"10!!!!!!."

"And with that Thoka is out!!…and yohan is the last man standing."

The announcer shouts.

"Y'all shouldn't have done that."

Yohan says.

"Shut the hell up Yohan..you're not winning a 2 vs 1."

Trey says.

———

"Watch me!!!."

Yohan says, immediately turning into a gorilla——charging towards Rafik and Trey.

"Damn I thought it was a 100 men vs 1 gorilla, not two guys vs 1."

Trey says, dodging the incoming attacks from Yohan.

Yohan punches rafik with the brute strength of a gorilla..but rafik catches the punch with his hand.

"Huh!!."

Yohan says surprised.

"Ice gauntlet dummy!!."

Rafik says, as he freezes his right hand, Trey then creates multiple chains and uses it to hold his other hand.

Rafik then jumps up in the air, makes a huge arm out of ice and punches Yohan in the face..knocking him out immediately.

"1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10!!!!!!"

"And Yohan is also eliminated!!..the winner is Rafik and Treyyyyyyy!!!."

The announcer shouts…the crowd then starts screaming also.

Twenty minutes after the fight ended!!

"Come on, Mr X awaits you."

A guy wearing an eyepatch says, pointing them to a room.

Rafik and Trey then enter inside the room.

"Rafik, Trey!!!——my best fighters..you know it's no suprise you won today!."

A man in an all white suit says, as he stands up from his chair.

"Our money X!!."

"Damn, I can't even have a casual talk, with my boys anymore."

X says, throwing $5000 cash each to rafik and Trey.

"Thanks."

Rafik says, as he and Trey to begin to walk out.

"Oh Yh..how's your mom now!!."

X asks in concern.

"She's okay!!."

 Rafik says, walking out of the door.

Rafik and Trey..then walk the streets back to Rafik's house.

"Damn Rafik..this is the most we've made in a single day!!."

Trey says.

"Yeah we're closer to our goal now!!."

Rafik says, crossing the road."

"Woo-hoo."

Trey says as he slaps a sign 

*sunflower by post Malone and swae lee playing in the background.*

Rafik and Trey then walk into their neighborhood..interacting with all the residents..as they're reaching Rafik's house.

"Knock..Knock."

A small girl opens the door and screams!!

"Big bro"

She says as she rushes and hugs him.

"Yo Erykah!!..how's it going."

Rafik says.

"Erykahhhhhh!."

Trey says, lifting her up and placing her on his shoulder.

"I got something for you."

Trey says, bringing out a star shaped necklace.

"You really bought it Trey!!."

Erykah says, wearing the necklace.

Rafik and Trey then enter into the room——you see immediately you enter the house.

———

"How is she?."

Rafik asks, as we see a woman bed ridden being fed by a nurse!!.

"She's stable…but she's not getting any better."

"She needs treatment in a real hospital!!!."

The nurse says, worried.

"I know that!!…by next week I'll have enough money to start her treatment."

"Please do..she can't last longer!!."

The nurse says.

Rafik then goes outside to catch some air.

While Trey plays with Erykah

"Ring..Ring."

Rafik's phone rings..he proceeds to answer it

"Yo Rafik"

"Wassup bones."

"I just got you a $300k job."

"Uh….!!"
