? POV

As I stood on a hill, just five miles outside of the city, I could see the apartment I just recently visited. I looked at my watch and saw that it was just turning 5:00, soon the city will start to wake. I pulled out a small device from my pocket and held it in my hand, I looked up and towards the apartment one last time and glanced behind me to see if my guest was still there. Then I pressed the button on the switch, a bright light erupted from in front of the apartment. Just as quickly as it appeared it dissapeared, I smiled as I put the device back in my pocket and replaced it with another device. I pressed the button on that one and, just like before, a bright light shown. Only this time it was in front of me, I paused just for a moment and looked into the light. The world past this light was tattered and in war, it was a waste of land and it makes me sick every time I think about it. Yet, it was home and it needs a good kick in the rear, I thought of Leo and Aeris then. I wonder if they are up to the task of fixing this world, I know it will fix them. I left my trance and started towards the light, I dropped my device on the ground right before the light then I took one step and entered in the light.

Pantsmans POV

It was a quite night, too quiet, I knew that something big was about to happen. I was jumping from roof top to roof top, inspecting the city, waiting for the moment crime would strike. Two hours passed and nothing happened, I looked at my watch and it said it was 12:00.

"Hmmm, crime normally strikes by now," I looked around and still saw nothing, What s going on?"

I looked down a saw a figure moving down the street, I jumped off the building I was on and tried to get closer to this stranger. He did not appear evil, but I could not get a good look at him because it was so dark. I followed him for hours and he led me all the way out of the city and up onto a small hill that overlooks the city. I jumped into a tree and hid myself from him, I looked up and saw Leo and Aeris apartment. I also noticed he was staring at their apartment, I did not know what to think or what to do so i just waited.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out some kind of device, I leaned forward to get a better look. He glanced my way and I froze in my tracks, there is no way he saw me, he looked forward again. I let out my breath and keep watching, he pressed the button and just then a bright light shown and covered Leo and Aeris' apartment. The light disappeared and my jaw dropped, their apartment it was gone. I looked back toward the man just as he used a second device, light shot up in front of him and he walked into it. I jumped out of hiding and lunged towards the light, but it was gone.

"Crap," I said as I picked myself off the ground, then I noticed that he left the device he used behind. I snatched it up and slipped it in my pocket, I looked towards Leo and Aeris' apartment, or where it used to be, and I started to run towards it. Praying that they were both still there and unharmed in any way.

Aeris POV

It is moments like this where I really enjoy Leo's company, I opened my eyes and lifted my head from Leo's chest. I looked over at him and smiled, his mouth was slightly open and his head was buried into his pillow. I looked at the clock and it said 2:53, it was too early for me to get up and I wanted to enjoy this moment for a little while longer. I put my head back on Leo's chest and started to run my paw through his fur. He started to purr, I looked up and saw that he was still asleep. I closed my eyes and listened to his purring and it was not long till I fell asleep again.

Aeris' Dream I opened my eyes and I had no clue where I was.

"Hello..." I yelled, but no one answered.

I started to walk down the hallway, and saw that it was all filled with dark and disturbing things.

"Where am I?" I wondered as I opened the door at the end of the hall. It lead to a huge room and in the middle of the room was a pit filled with some sort of liquid, lava I think, I walked towards the pit. Suddenly the pit dissapeared, I backed up only to trip over something behind me, as I hit the ground I looked up. I saw something in the air, it was falling towards me, I reached up and caught it. I looked at what I caught and my heart skipped a beat, it was a blue bell attached to a collar.

"Leo," I said as I jumped up and looked around, "LEO..." No answer.

I looked at the bell again and saw that there was a piece of paper inside of it. I took it out and opened it up, it said 'Aeris, I am sorry for everything I have ever done to you. Please forgive me...I Love you. Signed Leo' I started to panic. I looked around and only saw one thing, a body diving towards the pit.

"LLLLLLEEEOOOOO," I screamed as I ran towards the pit but I was too late, his body hit the lava and light erupted everywhere.

I jumped up and screamed, this caused Leo to wake up, looking around confused and worried.

"Aeris," he said getting out of bed and coming towards me, What is it, what s the matter?"

I just started to cry as I grabbed him and cried into his shoulder.

"Shhh its ok, I was just a dream," he gently rubbed my pack and held me close, Don t worry, I am here." He looked over to the clock and said," Come, it is still pretty early, let s get some more sleep."

I looked over towards the clock and saw that it was close to 5:00, he guided me towards the bed and helped me in. He climbed in next to me and held me close, I grabbed a hold of him and held on to him.

"Don't worry Aeris, I m not going anywhere," and just as he said that a bright light flashed and coved both of us.

"Leo," I screamed!

"Aer..." that was all he could say, the light vanished and I jumped out of the bed. I looked around and Leo was gone.

"Leo?" I said as I slowly looked around.

"Leo is not here," A voice said.

I spun around and saw a strange looking man, he was dressed in all black and he had on a mask that covers most of his face.(Excluding his mouth, chin, and blue eyes).

"Who are you and what have you done with Leo," I yelled charging at him. I threw a punch at him but all I hit was air, I turned around and he was just standing there, I swung my foot at him and once again hit nothing but air.

"Can you stop that please?" I turned and saw him standing by the window.

"I will ask again, who are you and where is Leo?" I yelled at him ready to attack again if he moved.

"Leo is fine...or at least he is at this moment, there is no telling what will find him within the next few hours." he said as he stared out the window.

"What do you mean," i asked?

"This world can be a very dangerous place," he explained.

"This world?" I said, just then I looked out the window and saw what he was talking about. The apartment was in some type of jungle, and gigantic mountains stood on the horizon. "Where am I," I asked him?

"All will be answered soon," He said, When you exit this apartment, head straight, follow the path and it will lead you to your friend." He took two steps back then said, "Stay on the path, do not travel at night, and stay away from the locals." Then he vanished from the room.

In his place was a bow, with a quiver full of arrows, there was a note attached to it that said. For your protection, the quiver is enchanted so it will never run out,' I picked up the bow and it turned pink.

"Cool," I said as I started for the door, I ran out of the apartment and onto the path, Don t worry Leo, I am coming."

? POV

I watched Aeris run down the path, the bow I left with her in her hands and the quiver on her back.

I looked up and said, "We might have some hope yet." I turned and picked up a sword, enchanted to never become dull. I Look back towards the path and started to walk down it.

Then I said to myself, "It is time to visit a certain gray cat."
