Hilary walked through the dark unfamiliar city streets, still saddened by the fact that she may never see William again. How long had it been since they parted ways? Thirty minutes…Seven hours…Three days…She honestly didn't know. Time seemed to have slowed, her days that were once filled with such happy and wondrous moments, were replaced with an ever growing shadow.

She wrapped her arms around herself and started to think to herself. "William…It took me a while to understand why I wanted to keep you so close to me…but now I know…I…I love you…"

Hilary tried to fight back tears. "Why couldn't I have told him that myself. Now I may never get the chance. I hate this feeling…Even if I did tell him…Would he return my feelings…I am monster after all." Hilary thought back to William's kind words, how he was disgusted with the fact that Hilary had even considered herself a "monster".

Thinking of William warmed her heart. Thinking of the times she shared with him brought back happy memories but saddened her at the same time. "William wouldn't want me to think like that. He'd say something like how I should stay positive…and…and…" Hilary couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She walked down a dark alleyway and cried into her hands.

"I can't take much more of this. Not hearing your kind words. Not being able to talk with you and the others. You were the first person to make me feel human, and not like some mangy lab rat. I love him…" Hilary clenched her fists. "Okay! I'm going to do it! I'll get my life back no matter the cost! We'll discuss our school topics like we used to…Diana will talk about her plans for world domination…and Drake will talk about his favorite anime and manga. And I'll tell William how I feel…I'll do it!"

Hilary dried her tears and got up from the dark alleyway. She walked out, and just as she did she bumped into a passing pedestrian. Both of them were knocked to the ground. Hilary got up and looked at who she had bumped into. The sight before her had shocked her. The very person she had bumped into was the one and only anime otaku she had become friends with, Drake.

Drake looked like he had seen better days. His hair was messed and dirty, his clothes looked ragged and torn, and he seemed to have various bruises and scratches on his face and hands.

"Drake!? What happened to you!? You look awful!"

Drake got up and realized who spoke to him. "H-Hilary!? Oh Thank God! I've been looking everywhere for you! I have something urgent to tell you!"

"Give me a moment Drake; this will be quicker than you explaining yourself." Hilary entered Drake's memory trying to get a better understanding of what Drake was talking about. She stopped her search when she came across a particular memory. Rage overtook her and she grabbed Drake by the neck with a vector and pulled him into the dark alleyway. She then slammed him against a brick wall and tightened her grip on Drake.

"It was you!? You were the one who told them where I was!? How could you Drake?...I trusted you…Did you only see me as a monster?..."

"I'm sorry Hilary…"

Hilary smacked him against the brick wall again. "You make me go through all this! And all you have to say for yourself is, I'm sorry!?"

"Kruger lied to me!" Drake coughed out.

Hilary's blood boiled at the mere mention of the name.

"He told me you were potential danger…I didn't want to believe it…but…" Drake was unable to form more words due to Hilary's tight grip. Hilary loosened her grip enough to let him speak more clearly.

"He said he'd stop supporting my college fund if I didn't do it! I'm a smart student…But I come from a very poor family, I wasn't able to get a scholarship either…So I became an intern at Banodyne, they agreed to pay for my intuition if I worked for them. He told me about your powers and what you were capable of. I didn't know they were planning on killing you…Please believe me! Against my better judgment I told them where you were…But I want to try to fix my mistake…William's in great danger!!"

Hilary dropped Drake in shock. "What do you mean?..."

"The broadcast with William's parents…It was a setup…It's a trap to draw out William. The reporters work for Banodyne…They were holding the parents at gunpoint off screen. I've been doing some snooping around at Banodyne and I heard of their plan…I was hoping to get to you before the broadcast…But now that it's too late…We have to stop William from getting to his house! Kruger's planning on killing William!!"

Hilary grabbed him with her vectors. "I still don't trust you…But I need you to lead me to his house…You know where it is?" Drake nodded as he looked at the surrounding street signs.

"From here it should be…That way!" Drake said as he pointed in one direction.

Hilary leaped into the air, still holding onto Drake.

"Don't worry William…I'm coming."

William's vision slowly came back to him. He saw a blurred figure stand before him, he tried to move but found his hands were bound by something.

The figure got closer to him, his vision became clearer. He saw his captor's true self before him. A man with short dirty blonde hair, rectangular shaped glasses and a black business suit.

"Wakey, Wakey! So glad you could finally join us William."

"Wha-Who are you!?"

"Me!?...Oh no one of any significance…just your executioner. Hahaha! You should see the look on your face! Hahaha! It's priceless!!"

William wasn't sure if the man was being serious or just kidding around. "You still haven't told me your name."

"You're not exactly in a position to be asking ME questions…Well…guess there's no harm telling you…my name is…Nathanial Kruger."

The name triggered something in William. He felt a sudden anger surge through him. "Kruger!? You're the one who's responsible for making Hilary's life a living hell! You bastard!! I'll kill you!"

Kruger smacked William in the face with the large gun he held. "Now, now…No need to go losing your temper...Especially over that mangy dog Hilary. Listen…I'm on a tight schedule here so I'll get to the point. I want you to tell me where Hilary is…Do that…" He pointed his gun at William's parents, who were bound and gagged. "And I won't be forced to kill them." He said with devious smile on his face.

William took a quick moment to think. "Umm…I don't know where she is?..."

Kruger smacked William with his gun again. " Don't give me that…you little SHIT!" Kruger said in a much more serious tone.

William spat at Kruger's face.

"Have it your way little shit!" He pointed the gun at William's head.

William readied himself for what he knew was coming. He felt happy knowing that at least Hilary was far away from here.

At that moment he heard something. Kruger apparently heard it as well, because he turned around to see what the sound was. He saw a figure rush toward the window. It drew closer and closer until it broke through the glass.

"KRUUUUUGEEEEEERRRRR!!!!!" Hilary screamed at the top of her lungs.

Hilary grabbed Kruger by the neck and rammed him into the wall.

Within that small window of time, Kruger had been able to press his gun on Hilary's forehead. Both stood in a standstill. Kruger had his finger on the trigger ready to shoot, and Hilary had her vectors ready to impale him with a seconds notice.

"Did I ever tell you where I got this gun? Custom made for me. Specifically designed for use against vectors. Magnum…Powerful enough to pierce even vectors…No way you'll survive at this range.

Hilary snuck a vector to William and cut his binds. "How DARE you bring William into this!!"

William got up and over to untie his parents. Both were in extreme shock at what had happened. "Listen…Mom…Dad…You have to get out of here. I'll explain everything later…But first we need to get you to a safe place!"

Kruger laughed. "Oh look! He's leaving you. Just as I knew he would. Well he made the right choice. No one in their right mind would want to be close to you!" Kruger laughed again.

William gave Kruger a long hard look, but knew that it was best for him to leave with his parents, as much as it killed him.

Once he was outside, he noticed a figure standing outside his house. "D-Drake!? What are you doing here?"

"Hilary needed directions here…It's a long story…What happened inside?" Just as he asked that a shot rang throughout the house.

Kruger shot his gun. Hilary tried to avoid it , but was shot in the shoulder. She let out a scream and landed a few feet away. Kruger smirked. "See, no ones gonna come for the likes of you. I got sloppy with that lost shot, but this next shot won't miss."

Kruger raised his gun and prepared for the final shot. Hilary was in too much pain to think of what to do. The bullet wound in her shoulder slowed her movements a bit, it would take some time to heal, time she didn't have. She could try to block the bullet with her vectors, but as Kruger said, the gun was vector piercing.

Kruger out pressure on the gun's trigger. His shot was perfect. He needed only pull it and he would kill Hilary. A second before the trigger was pulled, Kruger was knocked to the ground. He felt pain swell up in his face, it all happened so fast. His glasses have been knocked off his face, but he could clearly see the figure that had knocked him down. William stood above him, his fists clenched in anger. He had snuck through the back entrance and knocked down Kruger, when he was so sure of himself that William would leave Hilary. This was his fatal flaw.

Kruger looked around for his gun as quickly he could. He found it had slid across the room and saw that someone else had held it. Drake stood in the house holding the gun, pointing it at Kruger.

For possibly the first time in Kruger's life, he had experienced true fear, not knowing whether he was going to live or die…

"Now wait just a minute Drake!! Let's talk this out like men!"

"You're not a man! You're a monster!! You lied to me and deceived me into betraying Hilary!! You deserve this!"

Hilary and William both stood quite, watching what Drake's next move would be.

The gun fired once again. The gun seemed to make a world ending crack when fired.

Kruger looked at the wall next to him and saw the gaping hole that had been made from the single explosive bullet. He stood there shaking on the floor.

Drake walked over to Hilary and handed her the gun, who promptly destroyed it with her vectors.

Drake walked away from Kruger. "Your not even worth killing…You piece of shit!"

Hilary stood over Kruger. "Kruger…it's over. You're finished." She raised her vector to kill him.

Kruger laughed again. Hilary was caught by surprise by Kruger's sudden laughing. "Rule one of being a Master! Always have a plan B!" Kruger said he as pulled out a mechanical switch and pressed it.

Michael came slamming down on the ground. His entrance had left a huge hole in the ceiling. He stood up, shaking occasionally for no apparent reason, a metal collar around his neck.

"Michael! Kill them! Kill all of them!"

Michael turned around slowly and looked at Kruger. "Why should I listen to a weakling like you?"

"Wha!? Are you turning on me now!?" Kruger held up the mechanical switch. "You forget with this I-" Kruger's hand was sliced off before he could finish his sentence. He saw it slowly drop to the floor.

"AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" Kruger grabbed his arm in pain and dropped to the floor.

"You didn't really think that THIS could hold me." Michael said as he pointed at the metal collar. Electricity surges out of the collar and shatters apart, falling to the ground.

"Don't get me wrong…I will kill you and everyone else here…But it'd be no fun if you died too quickly. But first of all…Hilary…"

Michael turned around and stares at Hilary. "Long time no see Hilary!"

Hilary was still in shock in having seen Michael again. "Y-You!...But…I killed you!"

"You didn't think a little electricity would kill me did you!? Thanks to that…I can do this!" Michael raised his vectors and shot high amounts of voltage from them.

"Hahaha!"

Hilary ducked for cover and avoided the voltage blast.

"I waited a long time for this." Michael gave another violent shake.

Michael leaped forth and pushed Hilary out of the house. He grabbed her with a vector and threw her onto the concrete street. Hilary quickly recovered and threw a car at Michael. Michael slices the car in two and leaps at Hilary. Before she has a time to react Michael uppercuts her and sends her flying into the air. He grabs her by the leg and throws her through air.

Hilary leaps backward trying to avoid his attacks. Hilary managed to grab onto Michael with her vectors, she turns around , while still in the air, and blasts Michael away with all her power. Hilary rushed forward to where Michael had crash landed.

Michael had landed within a nearby city, people were already panicking from seeing a man crash like a meteor into the ground. Hilary landed a few feet from Michael, staring him down. A dark rain cloud spread across the sky, as if it was the messenger of some unholy force. The bright day had, in an instant, became dark and foreboding.

Michael smirked. "Time to play."
