My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Aira's dad immediately noticed the weird shade of purple that covered all the entrances and windows of the building. The once rowdy celebration instantly turned into silence as the group tried to figure out what transpired. They looked at each other, thinking that one of them was trying to play an elaborate prank on the group. There was no one who was suspicious of them in the vicinity, and also, they were the only ones there. Who else could it be?

"What is going on?" One of Aira's dad's friends anxiously asked, prompting e everyone to look at each other once again while they try to figure out who blocked all the exits with a mysterious goo-like wall.

"If it's not us... then what we should do now is try to get away. You, try to jump through that purple thing." Aira's dad instructed one of his men. Since he was the main leader of the group, the others didn't have any choice but  to go through with his instructions. '

"A-a-all right, I'll do it. I have a defense-type superpower so maybe I should be able to take it." One of them suggested while raising his hand. He didn't know what would entail once he took a step into the void but he was willing to risk it. After all, it would all come to an end if they couldn't get out of there. They'll be dead anyway, Creaker would kill them before they could even give a testimony. Even before they get to the police, they'd be murdered in cold blood. That's why there was no escape for them if they won't be able to get out of the place.

With a gulp, the man held his breath before he did as he suggested. The moment he stepped in, he felt something hard hit his feet. His eyes were closed so he couldn't see where he ended up. Still, he somehow felt that he was still in the same place, just the overall atmosphere made him feel that way.

Opening his eyes, he realized that he was still in the room. 'What sorcery is this?' He asked in surprise. He may still be in the room along with everyone else, but he was on a different side.

"Portals, someone put up portals all around us. there's no way we can get out of here." Aira's dad bit his lips in frustration. No one in their group could negate a powerful superpower like teleportation or portal use.

"What do we do, boss?"

"Let's do what we can, there must be a way to get out of there."

Instead of thinking about his one and only daughter, the first thought that came to his mind was how they'd all get away from all the crimes they committed. Even though they were already backed into a corner, his first thought was to escape. There's not a shred of thought set aside for his daughter at all, as if she didn't even exist in the first place. One setback and Aira was instantly removed from the picture, washed away like a stain on a white shirt.

Suddenly, the temperature indoors started to drop drastically, and they shivered in the cold. Once again, they stared at each other to see if anyone amongst the group was playing a dirty prank, but such wasn't the case. No one had any idea where the coldness came from but one thing was for sure, they didn't like it.

Fortunately, one of them had a fire-type superpower but he was eventually overpowered by the cold. In the end, the only one he could keep warm was himself, and the others started suffering due to the cold. They felt like freezing to death, and their consciousness dwindled. Whoever was behind the portals and the sheer cold, he was one heartless bastard— or so that's what Aira's dad thought to himself.

.....

A few minutes later, the authorities got to the scene, as per Crispwisp's call. It didn't take long before everyone was taken into custody. Something like that couldn't be hidden from the public so the government had no choice but to release a statement about what happened. The use of Superpower Boosters and their distribution of it was once again brought to light by the public. No matter how much they tried to cover it up in the past few days, they knew it was inevitable that it would come out.

Once again, Satoshi's name was broadcasted in the news as one of the two people who managed to unearth the organization behind the incident. Of course, since his name wasn't anything new in the news, not a lot of people were surprised. In fact, there was only one person who was bewildered by the entire situation was none other than Crispwisp. 'How could he pull it off? What did he do?' He asked himself.

There were a lot of questions in his mind and some of those were answered when Aira's dad and his group came to the scene— or so that's what he thought. When he saw that all of them were shivering in the cold, he instantly assumed that Satoshi's superpower is ice-type and a powerful one at that. His guess was totally off the mark though.

"You did well," Satoshi said, patting Crispwisp on the back. Just like Crispwisp, he couldn't believe that Crispwisp could pull it off. It totally flew over his mind that what he did was way more outstanding than what Crispwisp achieved.

"I should say the same thing to you. How did you pull that off? Your ice powers are amazing! Who would've thought you have the ice superpower, you totally don't seem like the type of guy who has ice superpowers. Most superheroes I met with that kind of superpower are kind of cold... literally." He commented.

"Ah, uh yes... I guess?" Satoshi didn't know what to respond since his powers weren't really what Crispwisp thought it was. But then again, he didn't want to disappoint him since he seemed to be impressed by what he had just done. For now, Satoshi didn't want to ruin his moment. "So, where's Aira? Is she all right?"

"Yeah, she's over there." Crispwisp pointed his lips to one of the ambulances that got to the scene. There she was, sipping on a hot cup of cocoa.
