The Boss laid on the ground for several moments, digging his fingers deeper in the ground, until it bled. Slowly, but surely, lifted his head to eye of the fleeing group. Redness appeared in his eyes, a burst of electricity flung out of his body, causing the debris to float as he slowly stands on his two legs—something he has not done in centuries. Standing tall, the Boss of LEMONs had a goal in mind and he was not going to slip in his hands by a bunch of outsiders. He opened his mouth and uttered a single word.
“Freeze.”
Everything around him and the fleeing group turned pitch black. Windows, doors, the fallen LEMONs, disappeared from this reality. Asuza, Iceik, Bob, Vox, Nicori, Liza, Lyrik and Seto… their bodies froze in place. There were absolutely no movements from them—none at all. The incredible powers that the Boss revealed, the forgotten power, psychic, display his powerful will and determination to accomplish his goal, despite his aging body.
Psionic: The Ultimate Rival Against Magic
Psionic, otherwise known as psychic, is a powerful mental ability that comes with a variety of powers including telekinesis, foresight, mind control, etc. The first appearance of such ability was when the Boss suddenly emerged in Empire State when he declared himself as an antithesis to the Empire State and vowed to overthrow the government with blood and destruction—to spite Image Man. He introduces the world of an incredible power, the power of psychic, which requires a heavy concentration of the mind. Unlike magic that relies on spells and the knowledge the world, psionic is a mental manifestation—it ca be achieved by sure will prowess alone. Due to its nature, Psionic became a rival towards Magic—psionic is the manifestation of willpower, something that even magic cannot overcome—even the mightiest forms of magic held by beings with pure or chaotic energy.
It can prevent spells, stop magic from invading their minds and shred through their barriers. Even the highest form of magic by under pure and chaotic energy can be rival by psychic users. They were able to reign supreme, as the LEMONs bested the Heroes Organization in numerous ways; the Boss earned the title, Psychic King, due to his destructive energy.
However, as of recent years, very few are psychics exist nowadays. The status of LEMONs, currently, is shells of their former selves. Psychic powers require immeasurable concentration mentally and physically—and the overused of them causes the body to falter overtime. Anymore would result in death, in which why the current cast of LEMONs, normally punks, search for other abilities.
Liza’s eyes could not even move slightly; an unpleasant feeling emerged from her stomach of how much she want to uttered a single sound, but the restrictions placed on her body, prevent her to do so.
Iceik’s fur reacted radically upon the Boss’ psionic abilities. His fur puffed up, making him looking like a giant fur ball as his eyes were covered with hair.
The only thing the gang can hope for was a quick death, but this was not in the interest of the Boss. He strives for something greater than lives.
“Ceiling.”
The Boss uttered another one, chilling word. Instantly, majority of the people slammed to the ceiling. Asuza slammed onto the ceiling near a hole—an entrance to the upper floors. Lyrik slammed onto the ceiling, with Liza on top on him. Seto, Bob and Vox were near each other, while a broken pipe in the abdomen seemingly stabbed Iceik; however, he could not let out a scream, no matter how much he wanted to. As the blood dripped onto the floor, Nicori was the only one that did not fly onto the ceiling.
“Come.”
The Boss uttered another word as Nicori instantly came within the Boss’ grasp, as the latter held the former’s arm. Before the kid can uttered a word, the Boss places his index finger on his mouth, telling him to be silence. “Do not make any noises, other than screams, child.” The Boss snapped Nicori’s arms 3 times.
