" Where the hell is the Initiator, Lexi?"

Rays of anger radiated from Skylar's raging eyes onto Lexi. If looks could kill, she'd be a cold, murdered corpse laying in a casket. Lexi turned away and closed her eyes.

" Where is it!"

" I dropped it!"

Smack.

Lexi placed a hand on her cheek that was now glowing red. She began to whimper as tears flowed down from her eyes. She wanted to wipe them away, scared that he would see her weakness. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

" Skylar..."

Lexi felt droplets of rain tap her head. The crackling sound of thunder followed soon after.

" W-We should probably get back."

Skylar sighed and shoved his hands into his coat pockets, " Shit. What are we going to tell the doctor now."

...

" He's how old?"

" He's sixteen."

" Oh my god, you little slut," a girl laughed, " You like a Junior? You know better than that!"

Katie flipped her long, brunette hair and shrugged her shoulders, " First of all, I don't like him. Second of all, it's only a two year age difference. Calm down."

" Heh, yeah, ok. Hey everyone, Katie Herron's d-"

" We got a problem here?"

The girl felt a strong hand rest upon her shoulder. She turned around and flinched when she saw who it was. The boy was fairly taller than her. His free hand ran through his nicely combed brown hair. She looked into his emerald green eyes before swiftly pulling away.

" Hi, I'm Ryan. Katie's friend."

" Ryan? Ryan Rogers? Captain of the football team?"

" C'mon, Katie. The bell rang, and I don't have practice today."

With a smirk, Katie waved at Carrie and walked towards.

" But before we go," Ryan added, " We are not dating. We're just friends, and last I checked, there's no age requirement on friendship. You get it?"

Carrie's eyes narrowed as she nodded in agreement. Ryan turned around and gave her a thumbs up.

" Good."

...

" You did what?"

" A trap went off. We were running out of the cave, and Lexi dropped it."

The dying lights flickered on and off in the dimly lit room. The doctor sighed and pulled out a briefcase.

" Dammit, Doctor!" Skylar continued, " If we would've went back to get it, we would've been killed!"

" You didn't lose the Omega Initiator,"

The doctor unlocked the briefcase to reveal two ancient artifacts.

" I had already recovered the Initiator weeks ago. I planted one there to simply test your skills."

Skylar stared at the Doctor with the same murderous, disdainful glare that he gave Lexi, " Son of a-"

The doctor laughed, " You always were a gullible one, Skylar. Now take the Omega Initiator."

Cautiously, Skylar grabbed the device and held it in his hands. He stared at it, observing every nook and cranny of the artifact. It was belt-like, but weighed much more than one. The sides of the belt were a blood red, with silver metallic center and two curving, golden blades protruding from the top and bottom respectively.

" So this is the device that my ancestors built?"

" Yes," the Doctor said, " The Alpha and Omega Initiators were protected by your ancestors thousands of years ago."

The Doctor stood up and began to slowly pace around the room, " No one truly knows the origins of these machines, " he said, " Legends say that they were created by ancient gods known as Kuuga and Agito. Kuuga, the god of Strength, and Agito, the god of Light."

The doctor stood close to Skylar, " But once again, no one really knows their origins, but that's why we are doing these research expeditions, Skylar," he continued, " And that's why you have been given the Omega Initiator. You have a heart that shines brighter than gold. The heart of a hero."

" I'm no hero." Skylar said.

" You are. You will see in due time, but only if you accept the power you've been granted."

Skylar sighed. Reluctantly, he buckled the belt around his waist.

" Now breath in, and accept the power."

Skylar unclenched his fists and took a deep breath in, " I accept the power."

...

" Kill it! Kill it!"

" Throw it into the fire!"

" He's almost dead!"

The toxic, engulfing smell of smoke filled the room and blinded all that were in it.

" No! No, stop it!"

The faint sounds of a girl's cries could be heard through the sound of crackling sparks and burning infernos. All she could see was the radiant aura standing before her.

" Come on! I-I'll get you to safety!"

" There they are! Kill them both!"

The girl saw a blade come with range. She screamed in fear as the blade was no more than an inch away from her neck.

Her fear ridden eyes popped open. It was as if she had seen a demon. She was unable to move, petrified. Her vision of death and scarred her. She tried to return to her slumber, but the fear of returning to her nightmare prevented her from going back to sleep. She pulled out her phone and began to type.

" Ryan. The nightmares are back again..."
