01: Apocalypse Omen

"Come on!" called Ryan "They're coming!"

Kimiko gasped for air as Ryan pulled her through the metal corridors. She wanted to run as fast as she could, but her legs were beginning to cramp up. She whimpered as she stumbled and fell to the ground. She looked behind her as she heard the sound of a hundred people charge down the corridors towards them; she was quickly pulled back to her feet and down the corridor, their footsteps echoed on the metal floors. She knew if they stopped running, they would die. She tried to run, but her legs kept collapsing under her, even if she was full of energy, her body won't let her run, not after what the both of them had just witnessed. Ryan punched a button on the wall and a metal door slid open, he put his arms around Kimiko's waist and pulled her into the room after him. He punched a button on the other side, closing and locking the door behind them. He sighed with relief and exhaustion as he collapsed against a wall. He turned his head towards a thick glass window, planet Earth glowed a brilliant blue below them as it floated through a sea of stars. Ryan sighed as he pushed his face against the glass, how he wished to be off this orbiting space station and back on that planet where he and Kimiko can live in peace. He looked over at Kimiko, who was on her knees crying her eyes out. Ryan bent down next to her, wrapping his arms around her.

"Hush Kimiko…" said Ryan as he rested her head on his shoulder, "It's going to be alright…"

"No, it's not…" cried Kimiko "We're dead; we're going to die…Just like Omi, Raimundo, and Clay…everyone's dead and we're next!"

Ryan felt tears sting his eyes as he hugged her tightly to his chest, in the last hour the both of them had seen all their friends brutally murdered by that…that monster. There was a sudden banging noise on the door that made Kimiko squeal in fear.

"Ryan…" cried Kimiko as she hid behind Ryan, "This is it…I'd just like to say I love you…"

"Me too…" said Ryan as he stood up, "We'll face the end together, and we'll go out fighting!"

There was a crash as the metal door came down, and men in black uniforms and metal masks came swarming in and surrounded them like insects.

"Ready?" said Ryan as he and Kimiko stood back to back. Kimiko nodded as they both reached to their arms, activating their elemental Wu.

"Cat's Eye Draco!" yelled Kimiko "Sparrow Arrow!"

She swung her arms, sending a wave of fire balls at her enemies. They screamed in pain as their bodies melted into purple slime.

"Tesla Dynamo!" yelled Ryan "Sejoer Lzaas Blade!"

He shot his arms forward, his hands melted into liquid metal. Sparks flew from his hands as a wave of metal shot forward, turning into two razor sharp metal spikes that skewered and cut his enemies into purple dust. He spun his body around, his Wudai weapon turned Ryan's hands into two razor sharp blades that sliced through his enemies like a helicopter blade. He leapt above his enemies, there were too many to count, but he knew he would take half of them out before he died.

He swung his metal sword hands down, turning a group of enemies into purple puree. He sighed as he fought off his enemies and looked over at Kimiko. She was holding two sparrows in her fists, mashing someone's body into purple slime. He smiled as he gazed at her body, even in the heat of battle; she still looked as sexy as ever, and so beautiful. His eyes widened as he saw someone come up behind her with a sword.

"Kimiko! Look out!" cried Ryan. Kimiko immediately spun around and sprayed the person with fire. He smiled at her as she winked back at him, she suddenly gasped as horror spread across her face. Before she could scream out, Ryan felt a cold blade shot through his back, he winced in pain as he fell to his knees. Four more swords slashed through his body as he fell to the floor, splashing in his own blood.

"RYAN!" screamed Kimiko as she ran towards him, "NO!"

"Kim…Look…out…" groaned Ryan. Someone swung his sword at her; it hit her chest and sliced right through her body, cutting her nearly in two. She didn't even scream in pain as she fell to the floor, dead. Tears fell from Ryan's eyes as he looked at her lifeless body; it was all over for them. He closed his eyes as he wished for the end, which was delivered by a swift slice through the neck, removing his head.

Ryan gasped as he sat up in bed, sweat blinding him. He groaned as he rested his head in his arms, remembering it was only a dream. He kept telling himself it was only a dream, but it seemed so real. He looked down to his side, Kimiko was fast asleep with her arm draped across his chest, her hand interlocked with his and she was breathing softly with a content smile fixed on her face. He sighed sadly as he removed her hands from around him. He lent over her, kissing her ever so gently on the lips, he then grabbed his dressing gown and walked off to bathroom. He switched the tap on and splashed his face with cold water; he wished he could wash the memory of the dream away as easily as he could wash his sweat away. He looked up at the mirror; he hated what he could see staring back at him with bloodshot eyes. Bags hung under his eyes because of the restless nights he has had. He sighed as he looked back at the mirror and saw someone standing in the doorway behind him. His breath became shaky as he felt the soft touch of his girlfriend's hands move across his chest and her arms hold him tight.

"You have the dream again?" said Kimiko. Ryan said nothing, he closed his eyes and nodded as he lent over the sink.

"Ryan…" said Kimiko as she rubbed his back, "What is going on? This is the tenth time this month you have woken up because of this dream"

Ryan shuddered as he looked up at her with distressed eyes, her bottom lip began to quiver as she put her arms around him, hugging him tight as she rested her head on his.

"My poor Ryan…" said Kimiko as she stroked his face, a tear rolled down her cheek, "Why are you suffering like this?"

"I don't know Kimiko…" said Ryan "I don't know…"

She began to breathe heavily as she looked at him with watery eyes.

"Ryan…" sobbed Kimiko as she rested her head on his chest, tears dripped onto his and her pyjamas, "What's the point of getting Master Fung to let me sleep with you, if you can't even spend one night where you don't wake up by my side…"

"I'm sorry Kimiko" said Ryan as he put a hand under her chin and raised her head, "I can't help it…I want to stay by your side, I love you…"

Kimiko cried as she put her hands around his neck and kissed him. She snivelled as she nuzzled her head on his neck. They stayed there in each others arms for a few minutes as they both calmed down.

"Shall we go back to bed?" said Kimiko as she ran a hand across his chest, massaging it gently. Ryan sighed sadly again as he lowered his head.

"I don't want to sleep" said Ryan "I can't face the dream…"

Kimiko smiled as she put her hand in his.

"Don't worry" said Kimiko as she kissed him on the cheek, "I'll be there for you, just like you're here for me"

Ryan smiled back as she gently led him out of the bathroom and led him back to the dormitory. They both went into her room and got into her bed; Kimiko sighed as she rested her whole body against his and gently lowered her head onto his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him. She smiled as she felt his arms move around her. She kissed him goodnight and snuggled down to sleep.

"What does this repeating dream mean?" said Kimiko as her eyes became heavy. Ryan sighed as he nuzzled his head lovingly on hers, running his hand through her raven black hair. He waited until she was asleep before he looked out the window; the moon cast a soothing light through her window.

"It's an omen…" whispered Ryan "Something really bad is going to happen…Everyone we know will suffer…But I promise you Kimiko, I will make sure nothing bad will ever happens to you…Ever"

That's the first chapter! What do you think will happen? R&R…
