Oliver's Childhood-Present (First Person in American English)

          It all started when I was born. Born onto this planet known as Cor. My child ages 1-6 are pretty much unimportant simply because I was in my own little world as many other children who were of the ages 1-6. When I was seven, reality pretty much hit me at that point. I was always with my Mother and my Father. Gerald Dowell is my father, and Meralda Lafon is my mother. They would take me to school and back home. I was allowed to play outside with other kids; having lots of fun. My powers kicked in at this age, and that's when I discovered my power is a plasma. My power kicked in at one of the disturbing moments in my life. These bullies were trying to harm me and my friends, and piled with fear I raised my hands and released the energy within my body. Shocking the bullies with a powerful electrical charge.
          I was punished for violent use of my powers by the Authority. My dad was easily notified because he is a member of the Authority. My father understood I acted out in defense, and filled me in on the details about the Authority showing no tolerance to the actions of our family because of an infamous ancestor who tried to take over the planet, which inspired the law system we had. Later, I had to take classes that would find a placement in the world for me to work. The main choice of placement for me was energy provider. Most people who contained the powers that I have get placed in that particular position in life. I was fine with the decision, its not like it mattered to me. I did not want to contribute to the degradation of society by doing whatever I wanted with my powers.
          Clearly, that mindset has changed. During the time when I was eight years old, I started becoming curious about the world. Getting into scientific studies, becoming aware of the natural world around me. Most times I would spend studying different fields of science for my own enjoyment. My mother was too busy doing her job; and my father was doing his job, but some days he would be talking with some kid named Daniel.
          I performed well in my school, and was mostly admired for my intellect by my teachers, father, mother, and friends, however others were not interested in my brilliance. The other people who were not interested in me did not bother me as much because I was not born to impress. I still kept my head in the books. One day, the boy Daniel comes running in the house in a panic. Apparently, the Authority was after him. Daniel had turned out to burn down a hospital. I could not believe my ears for someone to do something that horrible, but during that time I was ignorant. Anyway, the Authority came for Daniel; they caught him and took him to the planet that contained those who broke the laws of Cor.
         The planet was known as the exile planet. It only came ever so centuries, which could be the reason Cor still contained people just doing whatever they wanted with their powers. I did not realize that Cor was full of people who just did whatever they wanted with their powers at that age. The time was soon to come when I realized the planet was more a mess than I thought. The day where a tragic event happened in my house caused the encouragement of me to become more aware of how things really are on Cor. My mom was with me in the kitchen helping me do regular household activities. My father was in the living room, watching television. A knock at the front door caught my father's attention, while me and my mother continued our activity. Then, an explosion blowing inward into our house caught me and my mother's attention. My mother told me to hide in the cabinet. I was small enough to fit, so I ran and hid in the cabinet. I left the cabinet cracked open a tiny bit to be able to hear what was going on. I heard aggressive talk in the living. I heard an angry boy say, "You let them take him, and you have done nothing about it. You know he never meant to burn that hospital down."
         My father said, "I know that, but there was nothing I could do. He was deeply in trouble that time, and the Authority has no tolerance for our family because of our infamous ancestor."
        Then I heard an angry girl say, "You're a member of the Authority. You should of tried your best to talk them out of taking him away."
        "Listen, everyone calm down.", I heard my mom say. The sound of a blade is heard, as if it were going through a body. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!", a loud scream coming from my father. Tears started pouring down my face with great fear in my mind. The blade sound is heard again, with the sound of something falling to the floor. I let the cabinet completely close slowly, when I heard footsteps coming towards the kitchen. I sat there, heart racing beyond normal beats. The footsteps started to fade. I still sat for hours in silence with fear. A couple hours later, the Authority were within the house. they found me curled up in the cabinet. They told me to go with them. I proceeded into the living room, and that's where I saw the most disturbing image any child could witness. My mother was slice in half at the waist with her organs spilled all over the floor. My father was decapitated on the floor. The tears of pain came with a loud shout, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DADDY! MOMMY!". The Authority members held me back from touching their dead bodies. Tears started flowing down my face like a river as they pulled me out of the house.
          Only place for me was an orphanage. The orphanage had learning sessions, food, and rooms where kids can sleep. I was ten years old at the time where I started noticing more and more about the disorder of our planet. A school was demolished by a person, people who had lesser powers than others were being robbed, I had plenty encounters with people bullying me because I was an orphan. Cor was a hellhole of a planet. Age thirteen was when I started to question the hellhole. I internally asked myself questions like "Why can't there be a world without all this disorder we bring upon ourselves? Wait, I already know why. People just love to do whatever they want even if it leads to the suffering of others. I do see the need for the Authority, but they fail to keep the disorder to a minimum. We need a stronger authority, but that simply just can not happen because the powers of the people can allow them to rebel anytime. Should we live in a world without powers? Yes, that's it, a world without powers will make it possible for a stronger Authority to exist. The strong authority will be able to keep the planet orderly. How I can be so sure that the authority will carry out the idea as planned without changing the plan? The only solution for that is I should take lead on my idea to make sure it goes as planned.". I decided to tell the idea to everyone, but was greeted with anger and few logical reasons on the impossibility of my request. I continued to share this idea into my teen years. I was only greeted with hatred, anger, and logical reasons on how my idea is impossible. The passionate people did not like the idea because they saw that as restriction of their freedom and their right to their powers. The logical people stated that there is no possible way to deprive people of their powers and get them to willingly give up their powers; forcing people to give up their powers would help, but people would not like that and rebel and we would still be left at the disadvantage of having no way to get rid of powers.
         It is true that people won't willingly give up their powers, as the passionate people demonstrated, and we indeed did not have anyway of getting rid of powers, however, I was determined to find a way to go through with my plan. I studied the anatomy of people, determine to find a way to take away powers. I thought of ways, but I needed to test them. I abducted people who hated me and people who were lawbreakers to test my ideas. Eventually, I found a way to deprive people of their powers. Then, I thought to myself , "How will I be able to be in charge of my plans with the possibility of someone over powering me and taking over, and they would change or scrap my plans?"
       The thought process made me think of a brilliant idea. I can try to find a way to extract people's powers and inject them into myself. The best thing about powers is that anybody can be born with the same ability so that should make it possible to extract powers and inject them into other people such as myself. Indeed my hypothesis turned out to be correct. I was able to extract powers and put them within myself. I continued the experiments for awhile, testing each new ability I put within myself. Eventually I was caught in my twenties. The Authority exiled me to the prison planet.
         I'll admit that the prison planet was much more peaceful than Cor, surprisingly. The prisoners had their freedom to do whatever they please, and created a system of their own. Their system was a Monarchy system. The exile planet had a tradition where they will challenge the strength of newbies to their planet. Indeed, I was challenged by many. When, I started to become noticed on the exile planet, eventually top fighters started to challenge me. Crane the Destroyer, Max the Soul Devourer, Dave Master of Storms, etc. The top fights were basically tournaments, the winner of the tournament would go on to fight the leader according to their system. I won the tournament and had to face Ender Victor; the leader of the exile planet who got his name by putting an end to the triumphs of those who won the tournament. I fought him, but I overpowered him and gain the title of leader status.
        When I became leader, I kept Ender as my right hand man for his brains. I had to make a way for people to want me to stay leader so I can gain an advantage to follow through on my unforgotten plan. I persuaded them to put an change the tournaments in a way where I can stay leader longer, and direct their attention to Cor with anger and jealousy. This made my plot to invade Cor and take it over, possible. My arrival on Cor with full body armor and my army was intimidating to the Authority. The Authority tried to confront me, but I launched war upon the planet, taking over sector by sector. I persuaded some people of Cor to join my side. Behind their backs, I would extract the powers of those who could surpass my power and inject the powers into me, and then I would kill that person to leave no witness of my actions to enhance my chances of being all powerful, this way nobody will ever try these tactics on me to gain authoritative power. I was using my army like pawns, they meant nothing to me because I knew as soon as we win the war, they were going to screw everything up. I decided to enslave half my army and half the people of Cor and kill the rest. I left only two people on Cor. Their names were Agalhoff and Diana, but I deprived them of their powers, and the knowledge contained within their brains and scattered their memories across the solar system, but some fell back to Cor into a plant and bonded with it. I also renamed them Adameth and Evena so that they won't naturally gain their memory back. The two of them would be the start of the New Generation Of Generations To Come. I taught them language and other skills to help them survive. I told them to never eat from the tree with the golden colored fruit, then I told them it could have unknown effects to their body and they should not let their curiosity get the best of them like it did me. I did not want to tell them that it contained their knowledge, because that could counter my plans to reshape their knowledge.
        I created a kingdom within the sky, and had my slaves reconstruct Cor. Some people were okay with me being the authority and some were not, like Ender and his friends from the exile planet. They tried to rebel against me, but failed when I shocked the living life out of them. I thought they were dead until I got a notified from Agalhoff and Diana stating that a talking snake convinced her to eat the golden colored fruit. Its obvious this was no snake since snakes do not talk. This was the work of Ender and one of his friends who I believe can change people into animals. Ender sent me a message through one of his friends telepathy powers. Ender stated there would be a battle where he will defeat me and become leader once again. I stated that the day when that war comes it will be known as the Time Of Devastation.
         Now, I sit in my thrown as the new generation lives on.
