Today is the day. That everything can get fixed or broken. Today is the day my plan needs to work. The day I remove all suspicion of myself. The day where I felt like everything was going to go wrong. The day I couldn't stop my racing heartbeat.
"You okay Jack?" Mark asked me, gently placing a hand on my shoulder. I took a deep breath, clearing my mind and smiling at him.
"Just nervous. What if I mess up. Or forget what I'm doing?" I asked, memories of my childhood flashing through my head. Times before my life was pulled right out from under me.
"Don't worry. You'll do great," he said before turning to greet Bob and Wade. Prefect, everyone is now here. I looked up at the top of the apartment building me and Mark lived in, taking another deep breath before walking behind everyone else with my head down.
We were heading to school where the auditions for the tournament's were occurring. We were super early so we were slowly walking and discussing what was going to happen but I was counting down the seconds on my head until my plan was going to begin.

"DUCK!" I heard someone across the street shout as a truck came flying at us. I telekinetically stopped it but it was soon split down the centre with a wave of fire, pushing me back a little.
I easily recognized Felix's suit as I dropped the now smouldering pieces of the truck and took a step back. Mark rushed forward, trying to throw a sound wave at Felix, who simply raised his hand and Mark's hands went to his head. I knew he was messing with his mind and turned to the others with a fake fearful expression they easily bought.
"Just keep back and be careful okay," Bob said with a gentle smile. I nodded quickly and ducked behind a car. I peeked past it and saw Cry and Bob fighting, Cry easily winning due to Bob's technological state of matter. A loud crash was heard to the side and I saw Wade get thrown into the side of a building.
Something inside me made me feel terrible for what was happening. They were my friends... They all were. But this had to be done. I had a mission to do. I watched as Mark stumbled backwards, Felix clearly having finished messing with his mind, and let out a growl.
"What did you do to my head?" Mark yelled at Felix.
"I observed," Felix said, his voice sounding different through his mask. That's when I stepped forward and through a wave of telekinesis at him, throwing him back and into a nearby car. He let out a growl as his eyes locked on me and I felt him in my head. I let him enter, pretending to be in pain as my body shook.
"He's still suspicious and so are the others. The spy isn't here. You need to do your thing now or this won't work," he said in my head. I let my legs give way as I fell to my hands and knees, gasping for air as his mind left mine.
"You are weak," Felix said darkly. "You all are."
That's when me and him used dark magic at the same time, him to make a building crumble and me to create a shadowed image of me that soon formed a complete copy of me in my suit, fully formed and everything.
"The small one won't make it," my copy said darkly. I looked at it with wide eyes and tried to scramble away but with half my energy in the shadow I couldn't move quickly. This worked well as the copy of me raised its hands and created a dark ring around me.
It was a technique dark magic welders used to steal another's magic but I was able to modify it to transfer my mind into a shadowed image of myself to make it real. It caused my actual body to fall unconscious and I need someone with telepathy to wake me when my mind returns but it means I can use dark magic without anyone actually sensing it even though my entire structure is dark magic.
It also means Mark and his friends will see I'm not the spy and will get them off my back. And Felix jumbled Mark's mind so he only thinks it's a possibility but will loose proper thought of it before he gets suspicious.
I felt my mind being tugged from my body as shadows shot through me, taking my breath away with my mind and travelling into the shadowed embodiment of me. I watched as my real body fell limp as Mark, Bob and Wade watched in horror. I turned to Mark with a smirk, feeling my emotions drain and the darkness take over.
"You're next," I growled, feeling a grin cross my lips as the fear of all three showed as surges of red on their chests. "You're all afraid. I love It."
I shadow jumped right in front of Mark and grabbed him by the neck, jumping us on top of the apartment building except right over the edge where I flew straight down with Mark's head pointing towards the ground.
"Who... are.. You?" Mark gasped out as the wind rushed past us.
"Your biggest threat," I said, letting an evil smirk show in my words as we hit the ground, by we I mean Mark because I shadow jumped away a second before I touched the ground. Because of my high concentration of dark magic and the fact that Felix jumbled with Mark's head moments before Mark would have forgotten how to use his powers for the next, 10 seconds? Gives me plenty of time to deal with the other two.
"Mark!" I heard Wade shout from behind me. I turned to him and through a wave of shadows at him, knocking the air from his lungs and leaving him to crumple to the ground. I then turned to Bob, who was trying to wake up my unconscious body. He stood up and tried to tried to shock me with electrical currents but I simply shoved him back with shadowy telekinesis and jumbled his attack with magic.
He let out a groan and by then Mark had stumbled to his feet and was grabbing his shoulder while Wade was climbing to his feet while grabbing his waist. Ken and Cry were now behind me as I stood beside Felix.
"Don't get in the way of our plans again," I growled out, shadow jumping everyone away and letting my mind return to my body. Mark would have gained his powers by now and should wake me up.
I felt the familiar tug of waking up from it, similar to the times Felix had woken me from these and let out a gasp for air. And let my eyes shoot open. I was glad my mind doesn't open when I'm woken up or everything would have been for nothing; cause I immediately felt Mark trying to press into my mind but was able to push him aside with ease and closed my eyes again, feeling the immense wave of pain. I need a nurse...
