Connor looking into his fathers eyes with fear in his own, Greg looks down at Connor and asks him “Why are you scared? Come on in, it’s your home too you know” Connor slowly walks into the house being very cautious of everything that is around him. Greg leading the way towards the living room looks back at Connor with the biggest grin on his face, Connor looking into the eyes of terror, trembling at the sight of his dad. Connor walks into the living room seeing his mum break down into tears, at the sight of Connor walking into her eyesight. She runs over to Connor and gives him a big hug, tears gushing down her cheek and dripping down onto the floor. Connor’s eyes start to fill with tears but tries his hardest to not cry to not look weak in front of Greg. Greg grabs Connor’s shoulder and tells him “Come with me and I will show you something that you need to see.” Connor lets his mother go and looks her in the eyes, she looks back at him and nods. Connor decides to follow his father, they both start to walk down the hallway towards the backyard, Greg opens the door and says “Right this way” with a big smile on his face. Connor walks out the door, with Greg following, shutting the door behind him.
Connor turns around to look at Greg and asks him “What did you want to show me out here?” Greg replies “When you were escaping from my building you decided to jump out of the window of a skyscraper, do you know how you didn’t die?” “Honestly no” Connor responds. “Did someone talk to you, or tell you something when you were falling.” Greg asks. Connor was shocked by the words that Greg had said to him. He looks away from Greg and then quickly looks back over to him, and says “Yes.” Greg gets the biggest smile on his face and says very ominously “good.” “How long have you been hearing this voice?” Connor says “I don’t know I just remember seeing him one day and I just keep seeing him and hearing him.” Greg starts to look off into the distance and says to Connor “How were you able to transmit energy that fast and shoot it which happened to result in you destroying one of my walls.” He looks back over at Connor and he has disappeared, Greg starts to desperately fling his head around in an urge to try to find where Connor had run off to, but he couldn’t find him. Greg turns his back to go walk back inside and as he walks inside, his face drops at the sight of Connor sitting at the end of the hallway seeming to be waiting for him to come inside. Greg speed walks towards Connor and grabs him by the neck, lifting him off his feet and slamming him against the wall. Connor struggles to breath and smiles, while looking down at Greg, his chest starts to glow, his eyes turn into a bright neon green and he starts to be able to levitate. Greg lets his neck go but Connor doesn’t stop, he lifts his arm up reaching out to Gregs head, his veins start to glow the same neon green as it flows towards his palm. Connor’s palm now glowing a bright neon green, he tilts his head the right slightly and flexes his hands, which simultaneously releases a beam of concentrated energy out of his hand which shoots right past Gregs head and out the door. The beam of energy flying so far that it hits the mountains off into the distance, Greg turns to look at the mountains and sees the massive hole that Connor has carved out of the mountain. He falls to the ground on his back and starts to laugh as Connor starts to descend to the ground and his body goes back to normal. “So that’s how you did it” Greg laughs, Connor replies confused “What do you mean?” Greg, still laughing, says “You have a mark and a demon.” “You’re even better than what I could’ve ever imagined.”
Connor’s mum walks over to see the two of them and sees Greg down on the ground, she looks at him and then instantly looks away from him and says “Greg, get out of my house.” “What?” Greg replies. “Get out of my house!” She yells at him, Greg gets up from the ground, brushes the dirt off his suit jacket and walks out to the backyard, as he steps foot outside the house a big helicopter comes down from the sky and he steps up onto the helicopter. The helicopter flies away as Greg waves at Connor with a smile on his face so big that it sends shivers down the spine of Connor and his mother. Connor’s mum turns to him and gives him a big hug, Connor turns to his mum and says “I found somewhere that I think I have to go to” Connor’s mum confused says “What does that even mean?” “It means that I found a place that looks cool and I feel like there is someone there that I have to meet or something there that I have to go do.” Connor responds, “It sounds like you just don’t want to be around me” Connor’s mum replies, she blinks and takes a deep breath by the time that she opens her eyes again Connor had disappeared.
Connor in a flash appears at the front of the house, and starts to make his walk down the street to try find the mysterious alleyway that he had found on his way back from the facility that he had recently escaped from. Connor walking away from the house, now walking down the street looks up at the sky and starts to smile. He didn’t know why he was smiling but all he could think was that it was something to do with seeing his mother again. He looks back down at the pathway ahead of him and loses the smile on his face. He continues to walk this pathway checking every single alleyway to find the market again, Connor puts his head down as he walks by normal people of the town being hallucinated by his past experience thinking that they might be here to take him back to the facility. As he passes the people he puts his head back up and starts to hear a noise coming from behind him, he turns around to see his mum running at full speed straight for him yelling “You left me behind!” Connor turns back around and starts to walk a bit faster hoping that she won’t see him and end up passing him. Connor starts to speed up more and more but it isn’t enough to escape the grasp of his mother as she tackles him to the ground. “Why did you leave me back at the house!” Connor’s mum yells at Connor while standing over him. Connor is shocked that she caught up to him so fast, stays quiet and pretends to be dead on the ground. Connor’s mum reaches over to see Connor’s face and slaps him silly, hitting him back and forth until Connor stops pretending to be dead and opens his eyes. “Stop.” Connor yells in pain, Connor’s mum stops hitting him and starts to walk down the pathway away from Connor. Connor stays on the ground, his mum turns around to him and says “Are you coming or what?” Connor gets up and they both walk towards the alleyway.
Twenty minutes later they arrive at the alleyway that leads to the mysterious marketplace. Connor’s mum is a bit nervous about going down the alleyway and looks over at Connor, Connor looks back at her with a big smile on his face which makes his mum feel calm. They both look forward at the end of the alleyway and decide to move forward into the dark alleyway. The more they walk deeper into this dark, smokey, humid alleyway, they start to see more and more of this mysterious marketplace. The more they walk the more this mysterious marketplace turns into a marvellous masterpiece created by a God with little markets setup for the purpose of selling food. The closer they got the more they could smell this beautiful smell of the best food in the whole of The Grand Fifth. The moment they leave the alleyway and come into this beautiful area, they turn the corner and see that this masterpiece of craftsmanship was actually just a poster put on the wall. Their faces drop to see that even the smell of the food was fake and was masked by the scent of fruity flavoured air freshener. The marketplace is full of markets selling everything from swords to random liquids that young girls and old ladies call positions. Connor walks over to a board placed on the wall of a building, on the board there are 5 posters all saying wanted, the bounties ranged from fifteen thousand to 3 million dollars and the people in the bounty photos ranged from regular people to masked assassins. The both of them walk around this new found marketplace with frowns on their faces as they were fooled into thinking the marketplace was something amazing.
Connor walks down the street with his mum and ends up bumping into a man in a black jacket and black jeans, the man turns around to face Connor and visibly mad about Connor bumping into him and yells “Look where you’re going!” Connor smiles and starts to laugh as he looks away from the man he had just bumped into, the man grabs Connor’s shoulder and asks him “What’s so funny?” Connor turns to face the man and looks down at him even though he is only a couple centimetres shorter than him, smiles and says “Nothing, could you let my shoulder go or we’re going to have a problem.” The man replies “We already have a problem.” As he punches Connor square in the chin sending him flying across the marketplace and slamming into the wall of a building a kilometre away. The man looking at Connor with a big smile on his face turns around and as he turns Connor’s mum slaps him causing him to fall to the ground. The man gets up and as he gets up he sees Connor still in the rubble and on the ground so he smiles again, he looks away for a second and looks back to see that Connor had disappeared. The expression on the man's face turned from happy to shocked to scared, as he moved his head around trying to find Connor. He sees Connor’s mum trying to hit him again and grabs her arm blocking the slap and trying to use her as a human shield. Connor appears from behind him and grabs the top of his head, gripping his head harder and harder until he lets his mum go. The second that the man lets his mum go Connor lifts the man off the ground by gripping the top of his and then throws him into the ground making a crater in the ground. Connor turns to his mum and tells her “Get out of here” “I don’t want to leave you again” she responds, to which Connor retaliates “Get out of here or I’ll make you.” Connor’s mum nods her head and runs away and takes cover through one of the alleyways that connect to the marketplace on the other side from where they came in. Connor looks down at this man and removes his hand from his head, and moves back away from him. The man stands up and cracks his neck, Connor looks over at him and asks “Who are you?” The man looking away from Connor, smiles and laughs a little while saying “My name is Travis Brown” Connor smiles and says “So are you going to continue fighting or-” Connor gets cut off by Travis kicking Connor across the face knocking him to the ground. Connor on the ground puts his hands on the ground and pushes his body off the ground straight back up on his feet, instantly after he gets up Travis starts swinging punches with perfect form over and over with Connor dodging and blocking them all. Connor moves his head around at what seemed like light speed moving his head back and forwards around the punches thrown by Travis. A punch hits Connor in the side of the head which sends him flying, Connor being sent flying starts to lose consciousness, his eyes rolling to the back of his skull.
He loses consciousness, everything goes black, Oden appears in front of Connor and starts to whisper things to him that he can’t understand. It's almost as if he was speaking another language. Oden moves towards Connor, Oden grabs Connor’s head and picks him up and throws him into the ground. Waking Connor up by throwing Connor into the ground.
