The Legend of Aiden by Aiden R. Ranks (books to read for 13 year olds TXT) 📖

he shouted.
A jet of energy that was hardly visible to the eye shot directly at the wall with massive force making the wall exploded sending a shock wave combined with dust and rubble. Aiden crouched and protected himself with his arms.
“It’s alright now, come let’s go.” said Sylvester walking over the rubble.
“Uncle, this is by far the strangest day ever.” said Aiden following close to him.
Sylvester smiled but the smile quickly faded. “Aiden, place your arm on my shoulder quickly.” said Sylvester as he pointed the blue want towards the sky while looking around for any surprises. Aiden without hesitating grabbed on to his shirt.
“Vuelo!” he said loudly.
Immediately Sylvester and Ace where engulfed in white smoke, the smoke quickly surrounded their bodies. The bodies of Ace and Sylvester became dust like smoke and where no longer solid, Aiden’s eyes where wide as ever as his body turned into the white smoke as well. In less than a second after their bodies had transformed into smoke, they rushed fast up into the sky like wind blowing dust and where out of sight.

Aiden’s shouts where loud as his sight blurred by with no detail his body felt lose as if splitting into many particles. He felt funny, his body was tingling everywhere and he had no control over anything. He screamed loud as his body tuned back to normal solid and crashed down hard on to the ground making a loud Thud sound followed with an ugh!
Aiden opened his eyes blinking repeatedly quick groaning in agony. Aiden focused hard, the first images to appear where of Sylvester holding Ace over his shoulders coming close to him and reaching out his arm. He stood up tumbling as Sylvester held on to his weight.
“Are you alright?” he asked patting him on the shoulder.
Aiden crouched over bending his knee’s breathing heavily and dazed.
“First time traveling with the Vuelo technique, is nauseating indeed, don’t worry you will be ok.” He said. “Now, get in the house, we have a lot to talk about.”
Aiden sat on the couch staring at the ceiling breathing smoothly wide eye. Ace had recovered now and sat on the opposite couch in front of Aiden. Sylvester sat right side of Ace. Ace glared at the floor rubbing the spot that was impacted by the green orb. Sylvester on the other hand rubbed his temples and sighed.
“Tell him, we have to it’s about time anyways.” said Ace.
Aiden turned to look at both of them still wide eyed. “What?” he asked. With a sigh, Sylvester began to speak. “Aiden, I want you to pay close attention to everything I’m about to tell you.”
Aiden leaned closer to listen carefully and said, “Alright, I’m listening?”
“What you experienced today was not of your world.” He said.
“Okay, that was pretty abnormal.” He said emphasizing on was.
Sylvester continued as Ace stood up and began to walk towards the window.
“Listen Aiden, Ace and I are not like ordinary people, we are, different in a way.” He said putting great amount of focus on his words.
“Pretty obvious uncle, what was that all about?” replied Aiden. “Aiden, there are two kind of worlds, you think your live in an ordinary life but your wrong, people like us are different in one particular way, we have special abilities.” He said. Aiden nodded.
“Aiden, you’re not so different either, in fact, you’re very valuable to say.” He said and Aiden recoiled back.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
Ace turned back and began to speak. “Aiden, we did not meet by accident, I was sent to find and keep you safe, and it was my mission.” He said staying close to the window.
“Wait what, why and from whom?”
“Ace and I were placed in a very important mission to keep you safe, Aiden; I’m not your uncle.” He said speaking smoothly.
“What!” replied Aiden shocked?
“Sorry Aiden, it was part of the plan to play the role of your uncle, we couldn’t find any other family members related to you.” He continued, “Aiden, we don’t know much about you, but we know your special.” said Sylvester.
Aiden still amazed looked down disappointed. “Much less do I that accident was crucial and mind blowing.” He replied. “How am I different, you said I’m different too?”
Sylvester was serious.
“There are certain kinds of people like us, called Energy Producers; we like to use EP, for short.” Aiden nodded.
“We, have the ability to generate energy, which is why we are called Energy Producers, we produce energy and use it in magnificent ways.”
“That is what I saw today, right?” said Aiden.
“Correct.”
Aiden was dumbfounded and was amazed; everything that Sylvester was saying was very hard for Aiden to swallow and to take in.
“Ok I see, now, what do I have to do with all this?” he asked. “Aiden, we have been keeping you safe because you are an Energy Producer as well.”
Aiden’s mouth dropped open; he could not believe what he had just heard. He stood up and sighed trying to decipher everything. He closed his eyes and chuckled. “This is all just a big joke, illusions.” He said.
“Aiden, you can’t deny the truth, you know what Sylvester has just told you is true, you know deep inside do to the fact that since after that accident you have experienced strange and unexplained experiences.” said Ace pulling the covers an inch to examine the outside.
Aiden was expressionless, he was quite. “I’m an EP.” He whispered.
“I can’t explain everything, only Master Kyoto can explain things better, he knows more about you then us.” said Sylvester.
“Who?” replied Aiden? “”Master Kyoto, is the very, most important and wise person you can ever meet, Kyoto Gatzu, watcher and leader of the Kyoto Training Academy.” said Ace.
“Kyoto is the principle of Academy, he is the one who sent us on this mission.” followed Sylvester. “Our main objective, to find you, keep you safe, and return you safe and sound back to the Academy once you have become a full fledge EP.” He said.
“Full fledge?” asked Aiden.
“You were born and EP to begin with, but your E-cells do not fully generate energy to be channeled completely until you reach a certain age.” said Sylvester.
“E-cells?” replied Aiden
Sylvester was about to speak but was interrupted by Ace. “We are going to have to end this chat early, said Aiden. Without hesitating Sylvester stood up and pulled out his blue stick.
“I hate to leave you with more questions than answers.” He said
“Oh sure, and oh the marvelous stick thing.” said Aiden. “That stick has been brutal.”
“This is not an ordinary stick, it’s an EP weapon, in this case a wand.” said Sylvester who was now next to Ace.
Both of them had a defensive expression and moved around the house window to window. Aiden was confused even more; he still didn’t understand much of the things Sylvester was saying. Ace glared carefully and began to inch closer to the glass trying to decipher whatever it was outside. Curious, Aiden quickly walked next to Ace and gazed over his shoulder to take a look himself. Aiden received a shock when he saw the dark figure standing under a street light.
This dark figure of a person seem to be the same one from the other night, Aiden received chills up his spine. The dark figure only stood still without moving staring at the house. Sylvester was now behind Aiden and groaned a few mumbles. Slowly more dark figures began to emerge from shadowy areas.
“They can’t get inside, I’ve place a powerful spell that shields us from dark elements.” said Sylvester proudly. “Who are they?” asked Aiden.
“These guys are nothing, they are just EP hunters.” said Ace. Aiden did not like the sound of that. “They were after me before I even knew anything about my rather special gift, Sylvester was there to save Me.” continued Ace.
“What do they do exactly?”
“They hunt for young EPs intending to kidnap or brain wash them, to get them to join them. They are recruiters and are foliated with the- Sylvester stopped speaking. “You will learn more in school.”
A dark figure walked into the light of the lamp and his features where ghastly, resembled the hobo man. He held what seemed to be a jewel of some kind and quickly waved it towards the window. The jewel fired a jet of purple light; the jet impacted an invisible wall making a slight explosion. The man groaned and cursed as he tried again. The same result repeated as many more man came rushing out of the darkness and began firing at the house. Aiden felt weak, as he began to walk backwards slowly.
“They can’t get in right?” asked Aiden.
“No, they can’t get in, at least not for a while.” He said.
Ace turned back at Sylvester and chuckled. “I think you should look outside.”
Aiden and Sylvester both looked outside and examined what was happening. The man fired away like there was no tomorrow, or desperate. The sad and terrifying part was that the invisible shield was now showing signs of weakness, for cracks began to appear in the air.
“We should probably just leave this place now.” said Sylvester turning back. “Follow me quick.”
Without hesitating Aiden followed Ace and Sylvester up the stairs and towards Sylvester’s room. Aiden felt excitement for he had never entered his room. Inside it seemed like an ordinary room except for the paper work everywhere and the weird objects and books. Sylvester quickly began picking up books and paper work and gestured for them to help clean up. All 3 quickly hurried and picked up random papers and books.
Downstairs a large sound of an explosion came ringing upstairs and all 3 knew what had happened, the force field was no more. “They will follow us if I use the Vuelo technique, there is too many, we are going to have to use the Energy Runner.”
Sylvester quickly grabbed a little device the size of a small box and pushed a button on it. A loud rumbling roaring sound began to get closer until finally the roof came crashing down as a big pod like metal device crashed through and landed in front of the 3. The metal object was big enough to fit 2 people, and had two wheels in front and one in the back, many wires connected from the top front to the bottom back.
A man came running up the stairs and Ace quickly fired at him as he came in through the door. The man flew across Aiden’s room and flew out the window. “Hop on.” said Sylvester as he jumped on in front seat, Ace jumped in on the back seat and Aiden confused squeezed himself with Ace.
“How exactly are we getting out of here?” shouted Aiden.
“With style.” replied Sylvester.
The machine with wheels quickly roared to life as Sylvester grabbed two steel bars in front of him. Without hesitating the machine fired fire like energy or power from under it and sent them flying up through the hole. Out from above the scene was beautiful to Aiden was amazed as the scenery of the houses and nigh sky where visible, but all joy went away as he saw black smoke like figures flying towards them.
“Better hold on Aiden.”
Sylvester gripped the steel bars with force as pure Energy was being sucked from his hands. Immediately the machine accelerated with maximum speed leaving behind the
