Quahog, Rhode Island: February 14th
Sandman, real name: Nolan York the former Numbuh 2030, ran down the side of the collapsing Sector Q tree house. Sandman looked to his side, seeing a teen in what appeared to be purple and black knight armor with a cape, running down the side of the falling massive tree house with a flaming sword.
"So let me guess…" Sandman yelled as the tree house fell in the direction opposite of his house. "…It wasn't enough for Benedict to almost eradicate the entire Sector…but he had to go and have you cut down the tree as well!"
The teen ran towards Sandman, preparing to strike at the former KND operative. Sandman jumped forward, flying into the air and dodging the teen's strike. As Sandman landed, he spun around and squeezed the trigger of his gas gun, causing knock out gas to blow upwards at the teen. The teen ran through the gas, not breathing in.
"Who are you?" Sandman asked as the helipad of the tree house came crashing down behind them.
"I am Promethean!" the teen yelled as he ran after Sandman. "And I am your end!" The teen threw the flaming sword at Sandman's back.
Sandman spun around and kicked the sword in midair, sending it flying off in the distance. Sandman's action caused him to lose his balance, causing him to fall and start rolling down the side of the falling tree.
Promethean smiled behind his helmet. He jumped into the air and punched downward at Sandman. The tumbling envoy of Morpheus drew his grappling gun and pulled the trigger. The hook latched onto a falling 2x4 helicopter, allowing Sandman to dash away as he double clicked the trigger. Promethean's fist impacted the side of the tree. He grunted in anger as Sandman got away. He tried to pull his fist out of the tree, but to no avail, he found his armor caught on the bark.
"I'll get you Sandman!" Promethean exclaimed before the falling helipad crashed into him.
Sandman jumped off the plummeting 2x4 helicopter and aimed for a telephone pole. He pulled the trigger of the grapple gun, sending the hook attached to a cord at the telephone pole. He double clicked the trigger, causing the gun to retract the cord, sending him flying towards the telephone pole and off of the doomed 2x4 helicopter.
"Good-bye M.A.T.O.R.O." Sandman muttered as his former means of KND transportation exploded on impact with the ground. Sandman hit the ground and rolled into a wooden fence, crashing into it. Sandman staggered to his feet, holding his shoulder in pain. "Morpheus…that's smarts…" Sandman groaned in pain before noticing that the tree house had landed, crashing on the house on the other street. "…That sucks…"
A low beeping sound quickly took a hold of Sandman's attention. He looked to his wrist watch to see the time was now 8 o'clock. "Oh crud I'm late."
Across Town: 20 Minutes later
Kayla Valera sat alone at a table in a restaurant. She checked the time on her phone. She frowned, seeing he was twenty minutes late. "Really?" Kayla asked aloud. "He's late again…"
"Sorry Kayla." Kayla turned to see Nolan standing in slightly scuffed up clothing and a back pack. "That giant tree behind my house fell over."
"Wait, what happened?" Kayla asked, disbelievingly as Nolan took a seat across from her.
"Yeah, well…that tree behind my house got cut down and fell on the house behind mine…It wasn't pretty." Nolan said truthfully. "But besides that, I'm sorry I'm late Kayla." Nolan said, grabbing ahold of Kayla's hands and smiling.
"Apology accepted." Kayla smiled back. "So, business as usual then?"
"I buy you dinner, movie afterwards and then walk you home after showing you a good time plus dozens of compliments on your wonderful personality and telling you how much I adore you?" Nolan asked slyly causing Kayla to slightly blush.
Kayla was about to respond when her phone rang. She looked down at the caller I.D, frowning at who it was she answered it. "Hey Natalie…Yeah I'm on a date with Nolan…right now? Can't we do that tomorrow…ugh…fine…I'll be there."
Kayla ended the call and turned to Nolan sadly. "Nolan…I'm sorry but we'll have to reschedule…Natalie wants me and the others to help out with a project of hers."
Nolan nodded, accepting that Kayla had to go. Nolan smiled at Kayla before attempting a joke. "I guess this is payback for me always being late."
Kayla laughed, she smiled and got up from her seat. She kissed Nolan on the side of his cheek before taking off. "I love you."
"I love you too." Nolan smiled as he watched her walk away. Nolan sighed. He squeezed his temples, knowing too well that tomorrow was a school day. He looked out a window to his side. His eyes widened in horror as outside he saw noticed Holiday riding down the street on a horse, tossing exploding hearts at couples. "February 14th is a day of giving your heart to another! Enjoy these hearts! They may be your last!"
Nolan jumped up from his seat and rose his arm into the air. "Waiter! Check please!"
