Yay for random ideas! Honestly, I think I'm getting for creative with my one-shots. Anyway, I don't know what I'm thinking, I just know I was thinking. But enough chit-chat, here's your one-shot.

An explosion. That's what had happened. To put it in further terms takes a bit of explaining...

You see, it was the War. Finally, things escalated and the Cold War exploded into a heated battle. It took place behind Castle Duncan, and everyone was there. Fire, TNT, sharp blows, and all other sorts of attacks left the mall devastatingly torn. The lower, less tense battle was being fought on the ground. There, others like Lomadia, Nilesy, Ravs, Martyn, and all the rest were there. The main battle was in the sky, and it involved three people: Lalna, Sjin, and Rythian. Here the explanation ends, and we return to the present.

Rythian shot fire from the Volcanic Amulet, narrowly missing its target. Sjin's laser gun was running out of juice, but still was being fired heavily. No casualties yet, but they had been going for hours. Adrenaline was beginning to slow, and pain was slowly making itself noticeable.

Zoey was on the ground, fighting with Super Jim, and mushrooms. Even the newly crowned King Daniel had showed up trod the final battle. She avoided a strike from a certain dwarf, and hit him with the flat side of Super Jim.

Finally, Lalna had decided enough was enough. He was finally shot out of the sky by Rythian, and his Quantum Armor was so full of arrows, chips, and burns that it was miracle it protected him the slightest. He had an escape route in mind, and had one last trick. Sure, it would mean sacrificing everything he knew and all of his friends, but it was for the greater good, right?

He pulled out a black remote, and found the activation switch. He had three anti-matter missiles pointed directly at the yard. He didn't hesitate to push the green button.

Something was miscalculated, however, because the missiles went up immediately. He didn't have time to think before they hit the ground and the world turned white.

And that is where we start, readers. This is not the end, but the beginning of a new adventure...

Zoey slowly opened her eyes. The dim light made it hard to tell, but it was the night sky. But something was wrong. Where were the stars? She could see the moon, but not the stars. Suddenly, she heard a strange noise, and saw a bright light.

Rythian had his...condition long enough to know what it was like to be teleported. But this was taking it to a whole new level. Every inch of him screamed with fiery pain, then it was over. He found himself slumped against something hard, and opened his eyes.

When his eyes adjusted to the light, he noticed the ground was covered with a gray substance, almost completely coated in it. What had happened? Was this it? Who had won? Questions like these raced through his mind as he struggled to his feet.

Maybe he shouldn't have tried so fast, because he was struck by a mixture of dizziness and pain. He looked on, and saw not far from him another coating of a different material on the ground. This time, it was black, with strange yellow lines drawn randomly at the center.

He saw something on the black stretch, a figure, with red hair...

Zoey! She was lying face up to the sky. Was she alive? He barely had time to think before a loud noise came into focus. He looked to his right, and saw a strange..machine on the black stretch. It was going right at Zoey! Without a moment's hesitation, he gathered the energy to teleport over to her, and pick her up, then teleported far away from the black stretch.

It was too soon to be using strength like that, and it taken a lot more out of him than usual. He slumped over, and closed his eyes once more.

Zoey felt a pull, then the whip of cold air before she was back on the ground again. She managed to get up, only to see a familiar Mage beside her. She saw he was asleep, and quickly shook him awake.

"Rythian! Rythian! Where are we? Did we win the war? Where's our dinosaur?" She waited forever for an answer.

"Zoey? You...You're alright?"

"I'm fine. A little tired, but perfectly fine! How about you? You look worse than I do!" He usually cheery voice showed concern at the last statement.

"I'll be alright." He then straightened himself up.

"Are you sure? Really, really, 100% sure?"

"Yes, Zoey, I'm fine." He then got up.

Zoey exhaled a breath she didn't know she was keeping. "Then where are we?" He looked her dead in the eye, and said,

"I have no idea."

Okay! This is a one-shot that will continue on! I hope you liked it! Please review, it helps me write faster. Honestly! Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that Aura Series will be updated on Friday, and I am making an official story on the song fics! It will be called: I Thought You Were Gone. I think. Actually, I need help with the title. I know! Put it in your review on what you think it should be called. Thanks for reading, this makes me happy to write this for you!
