WHAT? AN UPDATE THIS SOON?

YES! It is. No, your not dreaming. I said I would try for once a month, and I mean that. It may end up being once every three weeks, you know, depending on if reviews inspire me or not…..

ANYWAY. Let's keep it up.

I stood next to Cole, who was busy touching the hair of a dead woman in an alley, for about ten seconds. She was blonde, in a purple shirt and jean shorts.

Cole got up quickly, grabbing his head with a surprised "Woah." I heard Moya over his speaker phone.

"What just happened?" She asked, business as ever.

"I had a vision. The reapers kidnapped Brandon. This is his wife Lynnae." Cole looked down the alley towards the street. "I can see the echo of someone running away." I didn't see anything, not even a change in the currents of the wind. It's not that I could see the currents, just more or less feel them, maybe up to twenty feet away.

Moya instructed us to follow it, and we set off.

"What does it look like Cole?" I asked as we jogged down the alley.

"Like, a greenish outline. C'mon, this way." He instructed as we went down an alley with a large puddle of gross water. Cole skirted around it while I jumped.

The amount of trash on the streets was appalling, though totally understandable. There was pieces of plastic, cans, and trash bags just carelessly thrown into corners.

We ran across a street and into another alleyway, this one curving to the right. In the distance I noticed a man in a large over coat, gun slanged across his shoulder.

"Cole!" I softly yelled as I grabbed him and tugged him behind some trashcans.

"It's just a reaper." He grumbled, annoyed.

"No. He looks different. It also feels a little different to. The currents in the air, they seem to almost avoid him, like he's surrounded by energy. Like you." I informed him as I spied on the reaper.

"Interesting." He stated, then proceeded to charge from our hiding place.

"Jesus, Cole!" I said, and ran after him. The reaper noticed us, got on his knees, and began to charge up his energy.

"Damn!" Cole yelled as a large line of explosions shot at him. It ran across the ground, creating little mountains of blue and black energy. Cole rolled out of the way.

In shock, I didn't move fast enough, and the blast hit me on the right side of my stomach. I flew back, landing heavily on the concrete.

"Ow, you bitch." I growled as I stood, grabbing my side. Cole was hitting it with bolts, but although it hurt, the reaper seemed to not care that much. Recharging, I ran behind a car, and used Gale Force. The car flew, did a few flips in the air, and landed right on top of the reaper. Cole ran up to me.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, let me just…" I raised my left hand to the sky, absorbing the lunar energy. A few seconds later, the pain had faded. "Man that's great, it's like a drug. Or coffee. Hey let's run a marathon!" I exclaimed, suddenly full of energy.

"Calm down. We'll be running anyway." He said, smirking. I followed him until we hit a gas station, and four more reapers. Thankfully, all these guys had were guns.

They opened fire, and missed a surprisingly large amount of times.

"I got right!" I called out, launching myself into the air. "WEEEEEEE!" I yelled as I smashed feet first into a Reaper. I turned to m left and used my Air Slash, knocking another on its back. A few well placed head shocks from Cole, and all of the reapers were writhing in pain on the ground. I brushed off my pants and followed Cole, who had already taken off down the alley to avoid my incessant rambling, which had worn off.

We turned right when Zeke called. I didn't catch much, but it was something about another conspiracy theory and apples. We came upon a power plant, packed with reapers.

"Not now Zeke!" I called, running up a metal ramp. There were two reapers up there, guns blaring. I used Gale Force, which somehow dislodged the bridge and we all fell. I landed on my feet, ran over, and kicked them as hard as I could, sending them flying.

I felt a hammer hit my shoulder and spun around, spotting another reaper on another bridge. I threw a Tornado Bomb, which sent him headfirst into a building. Then the electrical thing next to me exploded.

I was knocked off of my feet, my vision blurring. Slowly my body began to heal, which was sped up when I finally got enough sense back to raise my hands to the sky.

I sat up, breathing heavily. A reaper noticed me and turned his gun toward me, until he was blown back by a Shockwave. Cole ran over and helped me up.

"Let's go, these guys are pissing me off." I growled.

We mowed down a few more, but were given no more major trouble. Eventually we reached the substation, where a guy was standing.

He turned around and let out a blood curdling scream. I only had time to think "reaper" before my entire world lit up.

I awoke a few seconds later, coughing out dust. Cole was still passed out. I looked around, and noticed everything was darker. The lights in the distance had gone out as well. "Oh shit." I whispered, realizing what had happened. My phone buzzed.

"What the hell just happened? The entire Neon just went dark." She questioned.

"Yes, I am fine, thank you." I stated sarcastically. She didn't respond. "One of the reapers blew up a substation. Also, Cole hasn't woken up yet, so his healing use not be functioning right."

"His body must be reacting to the absence of electricity. See if you can wake him, man up, and find Carey. If we don't restore the power, the Reapers will be unstoppable." She hung up. I walked over to Cole and nudged him with my toe. He stirred a little, and lifted his head.

"Ow." He said as he sat up.

"Cole, we need to find Carey and turn on the substation. The power is out."

"God, my head feels like its in a vice."

"Yeah, because there's no power out here. C'mon." I helped him up. He slowly walked over to a manhole in the middle of the road. People were cowering in fear, knowing that reapers were even more dangerous since the power was out.

Cole lifted up the manhole, and looked at me pointedly.

"Ready?" He asked.

"This sucks." I complained, and jumped into the dark.

..

Yay another chapter done. I wanted to write a thousand words this time. Also, this story will probably have many chapters.

Oh boy. I hope you all enjoyed. Please let me know what you would like to see or how I can improve. Also let me know how much you love the story, which is the biggest inspiration for me to keep writing.

I know I'm thirsty, but we all are so meh.
