Silva watched as Kaneda and Kei stared at the world they were unlucky enough to miss.

"You two, it's time to get to business. Do you see that school over there?"

"Which school? There are too many of them." Kei had ordered him to be more specific.

"The preschool. Over here." Silva descended towards the ground. His feet touched the ground. He motioned for them to follow.

"What does a school have to do with Akira?"

"He went here. Look, I don't have much time. Come."

Kaneda opened the front door and held it for the others.

"Ehem... as you can see, This is the preschool where I first met Akira."

"In preschool? Then what you just told me earlier makes no sense. It doesn't add up."

"I brought the power from inside him. I was his trainer."

Silva opened a door to reveal a small, dark room. Inside stood a man and a small boy.
The small boy was ordered to pick up American code by the man. Soon, a message became audible on the radio next to the boy.

"Knicks beat Rockets, 65-40."

The man didn't seem satisfied, because he hit the small boy and told him to find something important. Soon after, voices were heard.

"Yes. We'll bomb them using the best weapon mankind has to offer. Lieutenant, how many weeks do we have until the bomb is ready?"

"Sir, it will be ready sooner than expected..."

"How soon?"

"Tomorrow, Mr. President. Sir, my wife and I are having our first-"

"That is not important. What is important is the total annihilation of our enemy, Japan."

"Yessir, I understand, sir."

"So you are the man that hit Akira?" Kei asked.

"Yes. I am deeply sorry for it. I pushed him... too far... He wanted so much to please me." Silva stared into the ceiling. "Also, because of that intercepted message, we were forced to put Akira in the front line, so that no civilian lives were lost. Now I must bring you to the next chapter of this story."

Silva snapped his fingers, and they were transported to yet another time.

"Where are we now?"

Silva paused a moment. "Look in the sky."

What appeared to be an F-16 fighter jet was visible at the horizon. It appeared to be dropping the aforementioned bomb. It fell, inexorably, towards the ground.

"Watch closely, now."

A beam of light sailed through the bomb. It resulted in a gigantic explosion. The whole city was covered in a blanket of light. Soon, it cleared up, and the entire city was reduced to dust. The explosion left no trace of the civilian bodies.

"Continue to watch, Kaneda. Every part to this is important."

Kaneda stopped picking his nose.

A small boy emerged from the rubble and assessed the damage. His eyes appeared shaky, for he seemed to have realized what happened. The man seemed to come out of nowhere.

"Akira, you did obliterate the bomb, right?"

Akira looked up at him, his face in tears. "I tried... it was... the only way. It was so...powerful... it hurt."

"That's okay. I know that you tried your best. You must be tired from the whole ordeal."

The man's left hand twitched. "I have a reward for you, Akira. Come with me."

Akira tried his best to follow the man, but he was so tired. He collapsed at his feet. The man lifted him up and carried him. He uncovered a flight of stairs leading to an underground bunker, and carried Akira inside.

"Where are we, mister?"

The man didn't answer. He set Akira onto the nearby bed, and started to push buttons on the nearby machine.
"Mister?"

The man turned his face towards Akira, and smirked.

"Mister? Mister, what are you doing to me?"

"You shall never see me in hell..."

The bed moved backwards into a chamber with Akira still in it. The door slammed shut, and the man finished inputting information. Once he was finished, he began to go insane.

"What have I done? He was just a child! A child of FOUR!"

Silva then spoke. "That is why I have come to undo the done. I came to terms with my wrongdoing, but the final step is to finally resurrect Akira, and destroy the Great Destroyer."
