The Small Ladybug slowly woke up yawning as she stretched out turning to look up at Silver, she blinked a few times before suddenly hugging him, Silver barely managed to pry her arms off him and put her down. "What the heck are you doing here!?" He immediately regretted shouting as he noticed tears form in the corner of Tulips eyes "Y-you said you couldn't stay with us, S-so I thought I could.." she was on the verge of tears before silver put a hand on her shoulder to try to calm her down "h-hey please don't cry, I'm sorry I shouldn't have yelled you just surprised me"congrats silver you really have a way with children don't you?

After what felt like forever the Girl Finally calmed down and once she settled down silver spoke up again "Listen Tulip you know I can't let you stay with me it's too dangerous" Silver made a conscious effort to sound calm as he spoke though the uncertainty was evident in his tone, like he was afraid the slightest thing would cause her to break out in tears again.

"But that's why I'm here, your always saving the day Mr. Silver but then your all lonely that's not fair" How in the heck is a 3 year old this confident!? I'm 11 years older than her and she's ready to argue with me? The more he thought about the scenario the more he confused herself and simply sighed hanging his head in defeat. "Fine you can stay with me but right now we need to sleep" he was telling her what she wanted to her he would take her back in the morning he couldn't fly when he was this tired anyway. Tulip lay back in the bag he had found her in as he lay down the ground wasn't exactly the most comfortable place to sleep but he was fine with it after a few minutes he drifted off into a restless sleep.

There she was again that Cat, except were not in a flaming hell scape they were in a base? the ground was covered in a cold white substance he had never seen before, he noticed a blue light shimmering in the snow and when he reached down to pick it up she spoke "That's a chaos emerald, it's said this gem can transform your thoughts into power, Collect 7 and a miracle is supposed to happen. keep it as a lucky charm" lucky charm huh? all the luck in the world wouldn't help us now... his thoughts were interrupted as the cat turned away and began to walk away from him "Wait! who are you?" She simply kept on walking not even looking back until his vision faded to white with the snow

"who was she? where am I? what am I doing here? I need... I need to help her! I need to save her! Who was she? who did I need to save? someone precious... someone I couldn't forget! who was it? who was it!? Who!?"

"What's her name!?" Silver shouted as he woke up suddenly it was early in the morning it was just starting to get light and he knew he had been crying again, his outburst had evidently woken Tulip she practically fell out of the bag "Please don't yell Mr. Silver. it's scary" Silver felt a wave of Guilt wash over him as the young girl rubbed her eyes looking over to him noticing that he was crying "wh-whats wrong?"

"oh uh nothing" Silver said as he dried his tears on his arm trying to look strong he had done this his whole life he was physically strong sure but he was fragile emotionally and Tulip could see straight through him "Another Scary dream? grandpa says that when your scared you should tell someone what's wrong and see if they can help" silver chuckled slightly as he wiped away the rest of his tears "your grandpa sounds like a really smart guy... it's nothing important it's just in my dreams I'm still fighting in a fiery apocalypse but it's not the Ifrit it's something else and I have this partner she's a Cat and she's my best friend... but they just seem... so real, its like my brain is trying to tell me something but why does it have to be so dam cryptic? stupid brain" he smacked his forehead a couple times before he felt her arms around his arm stopping him "don't call your brain stupid, it's good brain" silver chuckled slightly before looking to the ground "Guess it's not cool to see your hero cry huh?" Silver smiled weakly before standing up. looking out over the morning sky, he suddenly lost his footing as the building began to shake. He instinctively picked up Tulip as he began to Levitate above the falling building he flew down only to find himself face to face with the Ifrit yet again

"Tulip... fly as fast as you can back to the retirement home, if I survive I'll meet you back there" Tulip wanted to say something but noticing the intensity in Silver's voice she nodded and began to fly away the Ifrit Opened its mouth and let loose a jet of fire towards the fleeing girl. Silver flew in between the Fire and Tulip throwing up a barrier before throwing a car at the creatures head, The creature turned its focus back to him and charged him.

If there was one advantage to the Ifrit being immortal it was that Silver had plenty of opportunities to learn about it and how best to fight it, The Ifrit charged him thoughtlessly like it had done so many times before he created a psychic barrier just as it got close enough causing it to smash its head against the wall of energy, the Ifrit roared and let lose fireball after fireball Silver was so preoccupied dodging he didn't notice how close he was to the Ifrit until he felt it's burning tail crash against his back sending him tumbling to the ground he found himself struggling to get up as the beast let lose a torrent of flames that threatened to engulf him, he put up a barrier with his last gasp of breath but he knew it wouldn't last for ever he just needed long enough to recover from that hit, He was surprised he didn't have any broken bones given how much bigger the creature was, he hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday, he barely got any restful sleep he was running on empty he couldn't keep this up...

"we agreed to save the world at any price!" that cats words ran through his head as he struggled against the flames why do I care so much about what a cat I don't know thinks!? he questioned as he felt the heat of the flames through his barrier, Suddenly he remembered earlier when Tulip was about to cry, I told her I'd meet her there if I survived... if I don't go would she cry? "No" silver stealed his resolve as he planted his feet firmly on the ground "I won't make her cry, I won't! especially not over something... This Stupid!" silver yelled as he condensed the barrier around himself, he flew through the Ifrits flames and emerged right in front of the creatures head delivering a kick to the Ifrits skull given how fast silver had been moving it was enough to send the beast crashing to the ground he knew it couldn't die but at the very least it should be immobile for a while.

Silver flew to a rooftop and collapsed in a heap his chest was on fire and he had an excruciating headache just a few consequences that came hand in hand with over using his power at some point he slipped into unconsciousness just hoping that he will wake up before the Ifrit Does.
