Ultimate Power Ch.17

I made sure that all would go good as I next appeared near the House of Representatives. I had already memorized the faces of those I'd use as I sat and waited.

The first, a man about forty, walked near me then turned and walked to sit across from me. The next appeared a few minutes later, I had chosen, aged fifty, as they were both packing.

They looked at each other as I put who they were to attack in their minds. They arose and walked into their building; I hit the bushes and changed my face.

I then left, appearing back in the cabin as I sat with dad. He was watching C-SPAN as I watched as the two that I had met walked up to two others each.

They then pulled their guns, shot the two in front of them, then themselves. It had taken barely thirty seconds before six were now dead.

Dad shook his head as pandemonium erupted with cops and soldiers running in. I just snuggled up to dad and fell asleep.

When I awoke, I felt the House of Representatives and the panic that was gripping it. I also could feel that parts of the senate were also in a panic.

Things actually went crazier when two senators were found dead in their homes. I sighed as that was only seven of the twenty-four that were at the root of this.

I reached out finding what I thought was the main four, only to find they weren't the ones in charge. A few minutes between the two senators got me the name of one of the main bastards.

Again, the news went almost rabid when another five senators were found dead the next day. The proof, though, of nefarious activities though, turned even more heads. This prompted the president to attempt to call me. Yeah, wasn't happening.

Though, it damned near scared the hell out of him when he appeared out in the dessert, alone. I somewhat popped in with a canopy and two seats, and I didn't look the same.

The panicked man looked around to try and find where he was. "You're in more trouble than you," he started.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up, sit and relax? No, they don't know where you are, and all tracking devices aren't working 'til I allow it," I said as the man stared at me.

"What the hell do you want!" he nearly shouted as I pointed at him, then a chair and he was in it. I thought the look of terror on his face was worth a hell of a lot as I took a picture.

The sincere smile I had on my face seemed to scare him even more. "Now, asshole shall we try again? I really don't want you to suffer," I said as a pitcher of water appeared. Then I stared at him with a severe stern look. "Though that can be arranged after all the pain your idiot ass caused."

I held up a hand, stopping him as a tablet appeared, and I played him ordering the deaths of several people. I also showed him the cancel orders that allowed them to live.

He started to sneer at me as he said, "You're playing an extremely dangerous game."

I shook my head, "No, you are. I can be anyone anywhere and you'll never know it. Also, the Ultimate killer you sent after me? He's done, especially after he tried to kill me first several times," I said.

The idiot of a blond president sighed as he said, "I am a businessman. We can make a deal." His mouth dropped open as I shook my head.

"As a businessman, I'm sure you're aware of the term Breach of Contract?" I said as the idiot blond president's face twisted into fury.

"There was no breach," he started as I started to play a video.

"This is going to EVERY news agency. I know that you own a few and a lot of people don't believe them. I just want the American people that you took an oath to protect, to see that you don't really care about them," I said.

A look of extreme fury appeared on his face again as he whispered, "You won't get away with this."

"What is the truth that you have buried deeper than most thought? Yes, I know where the bodies and the proof are." I then turned to the side and said, "I also know who the senators and congressmen that are involved. The seven that died, they are just the tip, if you don't sever all ties with the government, well. I think you can see where this is going, ok goodbye."

As the idiot blonde vanished, I suddenly morphed into him. "I hope that this country can survive the idiot that we had for a leader, well enjoy."

I appeared in D. C. where there was a sense of extreme panic. The leader of the senate side of this mess was leaving the city as fast as he could. He was also passing by me a few moments after I appeared.

This time, the car was rolling to a stop not far past me, the driver trying to exit the vehicle. It veered off the highway and struck a huge elm tree crumpling like an aluminum can.

I smiled as I knew that the Senator was dead just as he had desired when he couldn't get his way. I walked away as several emergency service vehicles arrived.

When I arrived back in the cabin, dad was watching the satellite, shaking his head. "So, twenty-four, eh? How many have perished?"

I dropped my head as I whispered, "Only nine and one was one of the two leading this. I," I stopped as I swallowed. "I really need to get a good number of the rest. There are still too many that think that they are above the law and almost everyone. It almost feels as if they think they are god."

"I do believe that is called a god complex. At least ninety percent of doctors and most lawyers have it. It's a shame that they think that they are right no matter how wrong they are," dad said, shaking his head.

I looked up to see dad smiling at me with a look of pride on his face. I saw another high-ranking congressman on television as I reached out and his heart stopped.

They tried CPR though it didn't matter as his heart had almost exploded. I looked at dad as I nodded, "That's ten now, though the main one is still out there." Then I saw another as I made what sounded like a rifle shot, and he dropped with bleeding pouring from his chest.

The chaos continued as proof of their misdeeds appeared in all eleven. Also, I managed to get another two congressmen before C-SPAN went offline.

Well, I thought that was fourteen, more than half though the main instigator was still out there. I had gotten quite a few but the rest I was going to have to deal with personally.

In the next two days, they tried to entrench themselves, though I got five more of the senators. Finally, the temp Senate majority went on television asking what needed to happen for this to stop.

A message appeared behind him that listed three names that were to be investigated and jailed in disgrace. They had a week before it would start again.

That's when a congressman died in his home. A note said that he was number eight. That was when number nine appeared an hour later in his home.

Chaos, of course, ruled as the idiot president had every agency trying to find the male that I had projected. No one had even tried to ask what was left of their secret Psi project, had they, I'd been found out.

The tall man had a semi idea but still had no proof and was still severely injured. They were scared enough as all but three of the ultras were left and they were in hiding.

Basically, the idiot of a blond president was as powerless as he was clueless. I mean the human spirit is indomitable but when faced with a safe way out, they usually take it.

I almost laughed as every agency tried to find us to no avail for two weeks. In the main time another two, a congressman and a Senator, died, making it twenty.

This was almost the straw that broke the back of the government. I appeared on the president's computer screen.

"There are four left one that is the main one behind all this. I guarantee when he dies? It may take quite a few with him. Here's the info on him, find him, punish him or I damn sure will. Oh, just so YOU know, had you not gone after me? None of this would have happened. Remember, I'm not done with you!" I said as his computer started to smoke, and the fire alarms went off.

I watched as closely as possible and cheered when the two senators were arrested. A week later, a congressman resigned and was arrested.

That left the main piece of filth that I was slowly, very slowly releasing proof on. At first, he was able to refute it, a week later, videos were released. It showing him in several questionable meetings and illegal deals.

Dad and I laughed as he was led away in handcuffs. A confident smile on his lips 'til a reporter showed him a video of him with several underage minors. I believe that the count was ten the last I heard.

Then next, I appeared on the computer of the president, he had his head on his desk, all alone. "Now, you idiotic moron all your little yes boys are gone. You are the last, and I'm happy to release the real shit that you have been doing," I said as the man at the desk was reduced to tears.

"What do you want? I'm sorry I'm," he started, then I interrupted him.

"Not good enough, not near enough, especially when I know that your ass doesn't mean it. You have had so many people that have projected you as this great person." I drew very close, "We both know that you aren't worth the effort it would take to kill you."

I left the man wallowing in his pain as I released just one video. There was an almost immediate call for his immediate impeachment a few hours later.

I collapsed next to dad as I started to worry about the last three ultras. I wasn't sure if they'd come after me but I wanted to make sure.

It took me a few hours, but I found each of them a great distance away from each other. I contacted the females first with an idea.

It was something that had come to me after I had battled the ultimate. I appeared beside Shasha as she was suddenly on guard and firing at me. I sighed as I held up a hand.

Shasha started glaring at me as I sat. "I have a proposal for you," she said.

"Why should I believe a word you say after you killed so many of us," she said with a sneer.

I sighed as I spoke, "Yes, I did, especially seeing that they were insane killers. I know that had you not been as strong as you were they would have tried to use you."

This caused Shasha to jerk away from me. "Not even the leader knows that," then she sighed. "What is this proposal that you have?"

"I can now shut your powers off, though I am not sure if they can come back yet. I can also block you from the others so that they can't control you again," I told her.

I saw the smirk cross her features, then, she remembered something. "The last time you did there was a great amount of pain. I'd rather die than go through that again, so if that is what you are promising, then just kill me OK?" A sincere Shasha said.

"No, that was blocking them though they were still there trying to get out. With this, I will actually turn them off permanently as far as I know," I said.

"So, you don't know. How long have you had this ability?" she asked, staring at me accusingly.

I looked at her rather sheepishly and almost whispered, "Uh, a few hours?"

Shasha's eyes went large as she started to shake her head. "You want me to be a guinea pig for you to play doctor and experiment on?! I think that I will pass most definitely."

I sighed as she hadn't realized that I had shut her telepathic ability off. Thatv was 'til she tried to call the others and got nothing.

"I knew that I could do it now I know for certain," I said to her with a little smile on my lips. "You might also notice that no one can feel you."

This caused her mouth to drop open as she felt nothing from the other two and nothing was coming from her. She slowly turned toward me as tears were in her eyes. "Do you, do you think I can be a normal human again?" she asked.

"Well, it is possible, let's go somewhere else," I said as I touched her and we vanished across the country. As soon as we appeared, she dropped to her knees and evacuated her stomach. Shit! Sorry forgot not many can take that."

After she finally stopped, she gasped and asked, "Is it that bad for you?"

"No, I am used to it and feel no mill effects," I said.

She smirked and looked at me, "Good ability, though it sucks if we all feel that bad after."

I started to remove almost all her abilities but two. These I saw were natural and would kill her if they were removed.

When I informed her of this, she had tears in her eyes as she started to dance. "Oh my god, I haven't felt this normal in decades." She turned to me and hugged me, which shocked me. I told her I'd check back soon and left.

I checked in with dad, who smiled at the news that Shasha had wanted to be free. "Well," he started, "That's one less thing to worry you. Are you going after the second most powerful?"

"Yes, as soon as I can," I said, then stumbled a bit walking past dad. He immediately grabbed me before I hit the floor with my face.

He picked me up and put me in the bed with a sweet kiss. "Rest hon, go later or tomorrow, it obviously used more energy than you thought."

I shook my head as I was trying, struggling to get up, then nodded. "Ok dad, I'll just take a little," then I was out a moment later.

Dad chuckled a bit as he sat and watched the chaos that was now Washington D. C. There were now people taking a very deep look at every Senator and Congressman.

I didn't know it yet, but a great many people were jailed in the days after what I done. I, of course, was oblivious to all this as I was actually out for two of those days.

It was only a few hours after I awoke that I was surprisingly contacted by Margaret. I have been watching the news with all of the arrests of the Senators and congressman. Was that you? She asked.

I smiled as I replied Yes, it was, there is only a few left and the president is the last main one.

Margaret seemed to gasp in my mind as I could feel the worry that she had. Please be careful, you're the only true friend that I have, even though I don't really know who you are.

I smiled to my self again as I thought back to her. When this is gone, and you know, I feel you might not want to know me any longer. I pray that it isn't true, but I have faced the reality that my family is all that I will ever have.

I will also pray that I am not like that not after you saved me and my daughter. "I remember and won't forget what you did.

I smiled again as I broke contact, feeling the slight despair that washed over me. I was blind and slightly plump with an acne-scarred face, no, no one but family wanted me.

I could see and feel that dad sensed that I was feeling down more. For so long, I had believed in me and dad to now suddenly be feeling as depressed as I was.

At least I had helped them though I wasn't sure about others. I had killed quite a few that believed that I was so far below them.

Homicidal manics that thought that killing was all there was in their world. I shouldn't feel bad about ridding the world of them, but I was feeling so dirty right now.

Dad held me tighter as the tears started to flow as I hadn't really thought of the ramifications of this. Questions ran through my mind was I die in the wool killer or not.

The more I thought about it, the more that I felt that I wasn't. I didn't crave this or actually want to do this. I had done it to survive as they wouldn't hesitate to kill me.

Those thoughts and the fact that Dad was naked beside me actually improved my mood greatly. Well, that and the plate of food that dad had brought that was making my stomach growl.

I saw that he had made my absolute favorite chicken meal that I attacked with gusto. I finished it far faster than I thought I would and set the plate down. I started to call dad for more, then saw him standing there with another over full plate.

I barely thanked him as I attacked it with just as much vigor. I looked up to seeing dad at the door with another very full plate. My stomach growled again, causing him to chuckle.

"I figured you'd be damn near starving as you hadn't eaten for a few days. Go on then, I have plenty as I haven't eaten much, worrying over you," dad said.

I could only nod as tears started, then I tucked in with just as much energy. I believe that I managed four full plates that I still barely felt when I finished.

Me and dad sat then at the kitchen table as we discussed how I was going to tackle the second strongest. As per the fact that she was nothing like Shasha was.

According to dad, she was more of a hard ass than almost any other that had been in the group. Though as I thought about it, all the hard asses that I had met appreciated honesty more than anything.

I conveyed this to dad, who was very hesitant about the whole plan. "I have a tendency to trust a lot of what you suggest, but I remember her," dad said.

I sighed and nodded my head as I then listened to what he knew of the woman. I kissed him, then vanished, I appeared in a small cabin a hell of a way from where ours was.

Kattra was sitting there calmly drinking a cup of tea as she watched me. She finished her tea, then nodded to me, "I am ready for death as I have been for a long time."

The shock on my face made her smile as she slowly shook her head. "Actually, I'm not here for that," I said. "I wanted to offer you a deal that would benefit the both of us."

"Ah yes, then you are here to kill me. That I see would benefit the both of us, you would not have the problem of me. I would finally have the peace that I have craved for decades," she said, resigned that she was going to die.

I smiled, which caused her to close her eyes and cross her arms over her chest. I tapped her on her arm as her surprised eyes flew open.

"What if I could give you another more pleasant option?" I asked her.

She sighed as she stared at me, "I know that you are here to kill me. Just like you did, my good friend Shasha."

Now the big, tough woman had actual tears falling from her eyes. I shook my head as I opened a window to show Shasha sitting at a table.

"NO!" Kattra almost yelled when she saw Shasha, "No, it's not possible! I felt her cease to exist she, she's gone." Kattra whispered as renewed tears started to fall.

I pushed her chin up as I had been working on her a little more than I had Shasha. "She's alive as you will be, I removed all her abilities." I said as she looked at me like I had lost my mind.

Kayyra shook her head in disbelief. "No one has that ability, though it would be a dream come true."

"I smiled as I felt that I was finished. "Tell me, can you feel any other Psi? Can you talk to them or hear them?"

Again, she looked at me like I had lost my mind as she shook her head, then her eyes flew wide. "I, I can't hear them, I can't hear anyone!" Like Shasha, she started to dance across the floor.

"We need to go, so I'll take you to Shasha, but the travel will make you sick," I said as she grabbed a large tin, handed it to me, then grabbed her hand as we vanished.

As I was afraid, as soon as we appeared, Kattra fell to her knees and lost all the tea she had drunk. A movement behind us caught my eyes as Shasha appeared.

"Ka, Kattra? Is it really you?" Shasha whispered in non-belief as she came slowly forward.

"Shasha? Shasha!!" Kattra said as she weakly got off the ground to hug her friend.

Shasha looked over Kattra's shoulder, "Is she finished?"

I touched Kattra's head as I felt that, like Shasha, she had two different abilities that I couldn't touch. "She is now," which made Kattra star at me.

"I didn't think it was possible," as she nearly knocked me over with a hug. "Thank you so much." I nodded as I vanished back to dad.
