Chapter 26: Out of the shadows

Jameson sometimes wondered if the power of John was seeing the future. His son sometimes talked like a prophet and it felt really weird to him.

"Dad don't worry. Pay attention to the news of Culver University but no need to act on it. Just act normal and don't raise any suspicions now. Only Harlem is what that matters." John said with confidence.

Jameson didn't say anything to it and few more days went by as usual. But suddenly a startling news started revolving in the internet and now even proper videos came out. Jameson was shocked when he saw the video from Culver University.

It was a green colored humanoid larger than twice the size of a human being ravaging military vehicles and went on a rampage. This video really scared Jameson. At the beginning he thought it might be a monster little more powerful than human being but after what he saw he hardly believed his eyes.

This was almost like an invincible monster and maybe only a nuclear explosion can kill it. John asked him to act as normal so this time he didn't run to home. But as soon his work ended he took Hotshot and went home. For the first time he felt having Hotshot gave him a sense of security. He was scared because according to the hints of John there might be a situation with that monster in Harlem.

After returning home he immediately called John and informed him. "So the trajectory is same as I hoped for. Don't worry dad he isn't a bad guy. He is just a child who is little confused. It's fine." John assured Jameson after watching his dad being a little scared for the first time.

"Then why did you tell me to watch over Harlem. Don't you mean that this guy will wreak havoc there?" Jameson asked with confusion.

"Dad a hero will always need a villain to prove himself. Don't you understand that? Haven't you seen the script of the movie that is going to come out in a few weeks? Harlem will be his rise. Well that's what is supposed to happen. Dad whatever you shoot in Harlem don't spread it. Keep it absolutely safe and secure. This will be useful during negotiation if required" John said.

"Negotiation? With whom? With this green monster?" Jameson was more confused now.

"No Dad. It can be used with certain people if required".

Jameson didn't ask any more questions as he felt stressed by listening to his son's prophetic blabbering. He just informed the team about his requirements and asked them to only record various situations in Harlem and not have any contact. Since it was the work of John, Jameson sent most of his employees for this job.

May 2nd, 2008

It was a normal night in Harlem but suddenly there was havoc in the streets. Suddenly a huge humanoid monster of green with a contrast of black could be seen in the streets. It's size was almost the same as the monster that appeared in Culver university but this one had spinal bones outgrowing from his back and bones from the elbow joints.

Jameson when he got the videos from his employees about this new monster, he immediately called John about it and gave the information about this new monster.

"So finally it's time for action. I have worked hard and made all necessary preparations for this day. Let the great era begin." John said excitedly. He immediately changed himself to a character from Naruto world. This character had a long white cloak with fire designs at the end and written "Yondaime Hokage" in Japanese.

Yes it was the famous yellow flash of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, one of the favorite character from Naruto for John. As soon as he changed he disappeared from his place and appeared in Harlem. Few days ago he left a flying god thunder mark at a building at the center of Harlem.

John leapt over buildings to avoid cameras and approached the place where Abomination was in rampage. He saw a half damaged US military Humvee driving backwards and Abomination approaching it fast.

"It won't be fun if I use Minato to fight this. Let me change myself." After saying this his character changed.

As Abomination was almost approaching the Humvee, Abomination felt a sharp pain on his back. It felt like four sharp and big needles had entered from his back in the body. Even though there was only rage in his mind he still could feel pain. He pulled out one of the needles to ease his pain.

After pulling it out he saw swords shaped like a needle with a red handle and a small yellow end. He was instantly angry as he felt insulted by getting hurt by such a flimsy item and broke it instantly.

Then he turned back to see who was courageous enough to hurt him.
