*Lucas turns of TV*
Mother: Lucas! Come in this room, I have something to show you!
*Lucas runs to the room*
Lucas: Yeah? What is it?
Dad: Lucas, what have I told you? Answer your mother in a more kindly manner.
Lucas: Yes, sir.
Mother: Ok, here is is!
*Hands Lucas a green materia*
Mother: The materia I
Lucas: AWESOME!!
Dad: Calm down!
Mother: Hey don't forget to give your sister hers!
Lucas: Alright...
*Hands Lucas another green materia*
*Lucas Runs up stairs to his sisters room shouting*
Dad: Lucas st-- ...Forget it, I tried!
Lucas: Hey Miya, look what we got!
*Holds up materia*
Miya: What now? Oh? Is that my Materia?
Lucas: Yup, here.
Miya: Cool, I can't wait until dad teaches us how to use it!
*Suddenly a large blast went off and the whole town shook*
Miya: Ughh!
Lucas: AHHH!
*Family falls to ground*
Dad: Mia, Lucas, Come down here!
*Shaking stops after about 15 seconds*
----
Miya and Lucas crawl down the stairs, still dizzy and full of fear. They are struggling to keep mobility and get up.
When they get to the bottom floor they find their mom and dad on the ground too.
---
Mom: Oh, my! Hurry, turn on the news!
*Lucas finally gets up and scurries right along*
----------------
The News Reporter struggles to stand and keep her balance up. "Ugh, hello town... It appears the beast has directly blasted the city with a
Bolt3 spell. Unfortunately, this beasts magic is far superior to a normal spellcaster. This beast contains the legendary *Crying Force* Materia
which has been hidden away for years under MAXIMUM security. Police are scouting the area for clues. We have turned off regular scheduled
programs to keep you updated on the beast. Repairs will start immediately"

Mom: Ok, so a monster did this!?
Dad: It appears so.
Mom: I'll go check the house outside..
*Mom runs outside*
Miya: Dad...this seems like a good time for you to teach us how to use our Materia.
Dad: Right, I will teach you this afternoon.
Lucas: Great....by the way....what's a "bolt3" spell.
Dad: Ah, yes. You see... "Bolt" is a magic attack as you know. As you travel longer with your Materia it will power up and more magic will be available. So Bolt will become Bolt2, and then...Bolt3.
Lucas: Cool!
*Mom comes back in*
Mom: Ok, it doesn't look like out house was damaged much...the windows are a bit cracked. But it still looks fine.
Miya:What a relief!
Dad: Well...this monster sure has become a silence to the calm.
