Wu-fei sat down to a relaxing evening of reading by the fireside, but
suddenly tensed, ears keening to detect the faintest of noises. Then,
to his astonishment, the phone rang. This was the tiniest bit abnormal,
seeing as Wu-fei didn't have a phone of any type, be it a cell phone
cordless or wireless.

The ringing continued, to both his surprise and annoyment, for another
twenty minutes. Wu-fei decided that enough was enough and stepped out
into the brisk fall air, leaving the ringing behind.

Or so he thought.

The accursed ringing followed Wu-fei as he quickened his pace to escape.
Fear began to take control of Wu's mind as he raced along a deserted
street, increasing his pace until he could run no further. This obviously
took quite some time, seeing as Wu-fei is a seasoned warrior and Gundam
pilot(i.e. in shape). Mysteriously, the ringing faded to a dull whine as
soon as he had collapsed on the cold and now dew-moistened pavement. He
couldn't possibly have noticed this, seeing as he had blacked out.

The cheap bulb of the street light began to flicker in an odd fashion,
a morse code of light. Soon it's almost comforting light faded altogether,
leaving the quiet street in darkness.

The darkness grew as other streetlights near the area began to burn out,
one by one being snuffed out like candles in the wind(hehehe I know...)
The only light the block or so received was from the moon and stars.
At that moment, a front of cool air rushed in, bringing with it a mass of
black clouds which hid the silver light of the moon from the world.

Wu-fei shuddered and slowly opened his eyes to the darkness which had been
brought about his general location. While waiting for his eyes to grow
accustomed to the light, or lack thereof, he began to feel a great presence,
one that struck fear into the hearts of mortal man. Since Wu-fei was still
suffering from a lack of blood to his head, he disregarded this presence
for another one of those pounding migraines that he suffered from once in a
while.

"Wu-fei... I see you have come on time..." A man's voice sounded quietly
through the darkness. At this, Wu-fei jumped to his feet, waiting for the
coming attack.

"Who goes there!" His voice sounded hollow in the dark, chill night.

"You know who I am, Wu-fei... I am your best friend, and yet your worst
enemy..." The voice purred with anticipation at the coming realization
which Wu-fei would experience.

Panic rose in his throat as Wu-fei attempted to speak. Only a soft choking
noise came forth.

"You can't be here... I defeated you! You can't be real..." Wu-fei's voice
faded off as the figure to which the other voice belonged to approached.

While it approached, a street light flickered on in the distance, providing
minimal light. But this light was enough for Wu-fei to see, as it had put it,
his best friend and worst enemy. Wu-fei stumbled backwards in a lame attempt
to escape the creature, but to no avail. It leapt forwards to grab hold of
his arm, its eyes glowing a feral purple grape color. The freezy pop.

****************************************************************************

That was the last image that Wu-fei saw before he again lost consciousness.
What might have been hours, days, weeks or months later, he found himself in
a dull hospital wing on a grey day.

His limbs twitched with renewed life as he attempted to rise. This would prove
to be impossible, seeing as he had just been injected with a sedative which
wouldn't let him move for hours.

This turned out to be Wu-fei's greatest fear: the inability to move of his own
free will.

"Noooooo....." At that moment, two almost familiar characters entered the room,
their forms blurry at first but then focusing so sharply as to make Wu's head
spin.

"Oh my! He's awake!" This exclamation seemed to come from a young nurse, clad in
a pristine white uniform.

"Wu-fei! God, do you look like hell or what!" The more familiar voice of Duo
was registered by Wu-fei's brain as he attempted to speak.

"Mr. Maxwell, I must inform you that he has been dosed with a sedative which..."
Whatever else the nurse said to Duo faded away to the back of Wu's mind as he
drifted off into a drug induced slumber, the freezy pop's eyes poisoning the
silence.
