A playground. Now Kitai was on a playground, filled with kids laughing, running, dancing and just flat out having fun. All of the little children seemed to be having fun. All except one. There was one kid that seemed to be an odd-one-out, he was just walking around, looking down at the ground in front of him. Kitai approached the boy, and asked him for his name. The little boy didn't respond. He didn't seem to be the one to talk to strangers, or to anyone at that. He just kept walking, and whispering something as well. Kitai moved his ear down towards the boy to hear what he was saying.

"Suicide..."

Kitai once again immediately rose up from his bed. He was gasping for air, as if someone had just tried to drown him and was also sweating profusely. "Ok... these dreams seriously need to stop." He rose out of the bed, and looked at his clock. The clock read 9:27 AM. Kitai slept for eleven and a half hours? Thats strange... he usually can barely manage to sleep for nine hours, and yet eleven hours? "Why has my life gotten so strange as of late?"

He quickly changed, and then walked out of his room, then he was greeted by his brother who stormed towards the bathroom. "Time for your thirty minute shower?" Kitai yelled to him.

"Oh shutup. I take as long as I please."

"Suit yourself..." Kitai wondered downstairs, pulled out a slice of bread, and smeared peanut butter all over it. He reached for a bottle of jelly in the cupboard, and smeared that over the bread as well. Then he got another slice of bread, and made an old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Kitai sighed, yet another dull morning. "How delightful." He ate his sandwich rather apathetically. "I know something odd is going to happen today... I can feel it." And then he remembered that he was going to go to Rea's house today. "Eh, how'd I almost forget that." He hit himself on the head. "Jeez I'm absent-minded today..." He decided to watch TV for half an hour until his brother was done taking his shower.

Kitai finished taking his shower and also dressing up as well. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, but this was an anime t-shirt, different from his normal. His shirt was colored dark red with "Gundam Seed" written on the front. On the back was a picture of one of Kitai's favorite Gundams, the Aegis. Kitai headed towards the door, ready to leave. But his brother stopped him.

"Hey, Kai."

Kitai turned around. "What is it, Monte?"

Monte was the name of Kitai's eldest brother, the one that takes thirty minute showers. Monte then threw Kitai a cell phone. "You'll probably need one, so might as well have it on hand. The number is written on the back on masking tape."

"Thanks." was Kitai's reply as he looked at the number.

"Just don't do anything stupid. Our parents were worried when they heard about the incident."

Kitai didn't acknowledge the last statement, instead he turned around and walked out the door. His four wings emerged once again, and he set off. Worried. His parents never did that before. Why would they start now? Another question he would most likely not receive an answer to, something he had grown accustomed to. He sighed. He was getting used to many things. For instance, flying around. He finally got the hang of flying, and Kitai actually doesn't wobble around anymore, he flew perfectly straight now. Kitai glanced at his watch to check the time. It was 10:42 AM, way too early to meet up with Steven, since he would be in school. Delaware time is two hours ahead of Arizona time, so that would mean he could catch Steven six hours. What would he do for six hours? Kitai found Delaware boring though, and he didn't really feel like talking to his friends right now, because he knew they'd just ask about how Kitai managed to do what he did. So, to Arizona it was.

Kitai landed in Phoenix, Arizona, the city where Rea lived. It was only 9:27 AM. "Time travel doesn't seem as interesting as people make it sound." He walked deep into the city, ready to waste five hours in the corporate jungle. "Nothing better to do anyway..." He sighed again. He was getting used to sighing frequently as well.

After successfully wasting three and a half hours of his life, he started to search for the school where Steven and Rea went to. It was actually quite an easy target to find, for the buses had already started to gather at the school, and a few parents in their cars were buzzing around the building as well. Kitai walked towards the school, but still had an hour to blow off. He didn't feel like going shopping, and already had lunch. There was not much left for him to do, until something strange happened.

Out of nowhere, a storm of enormous earthy-black stones came hurling towards the city of Phoenix. The meteors crashed into skycrapers, buildings, anything, knocking them over, and leveling it in the process. Cold steel met rock-hard boulders. The boulders won out, and the steel buildings collapsed one after another. The people screamed in fear as many of them were either crushed by the blow of the crashes, or fell from the windows of the buildings. Others just ran away in fear. Kitai gasped in horror.

"What the hell..." were the only words he found.

The largest meteor continued to roll after its initial impact, and also continued to destroy anything in its path, until it finally stopped. Everyone thought the horror was over, but it most definitely was not. The 300-foot wide stone began to shake, as if it were alive. But it was alive. It then began to levitate, without any outside force aiding it. The other boulders seemed to react to this, and they too, started to float, and gravitated toward the largest stone. The boulders formed a golem figure, something people thought they would only see in movies. Then the stones flashed an ominous light, and suddenly a dark green fire covered the stones, almost as if it was the glue bonding the meteorites together, making sure they would not fall apart. Two black fires appeared on the stone that appeared to be the head, marking the eyes. An unsettling crimson fired marked the abomination's mouth. Like a primal ape would, the infernal being began to beat its chest, and many loud, piercing roars bellowed from its fiery mouth.

"Where is Cyril when you need him damnit?" Kitai couldn't think he could take such a beast alone, but he had to try, even without Cyril's help. But Cyril was well aware of the beast, but could not do anything about it. He had more important matters of his own to take care of.

Kitai's wings emerged from his back, his sword appeared from his hand, and he called upon his blue spheres once more. He flew up to the monster's face, and used one of his spheres. "Occult Impaction!"

Kitai's attack struck the beast's face, and was knocked back a few meters, but no damage was visible. The monster was furious, and threw a punch straight for Kitai. Kitai jumped, landed on the behemoth's arm, and started to dash towards the head. Kitai let out a loud battle cry.

"I've got you!" he screamed, and slashed the monster's head. The monster was oblivious to Kitai's attack, as it felt nothing. His head turned to meet Kitai's face, opened its mouth, and a large stream of fiery death erupted from the opening. Kitai was in the direct pathway of the stream of lava, with no chance to dodge. He was blown back a good mile, but only because an obstruction had stopped him. The blast knocked Kitai into a building, and he crashed through the glass, making the wounds even worse.

Kitai spit out blood, and got up. The beast thought that it was done with Kitai, but didn't realize he had gotten up.

The room Kitai had crashed into had one occupant, a middle-aged man who was covering his head with his arms, and was filled with fear. He looked over at Kitai, and was even more shocked when he saw the teenager rise up.

"Bastard." Kitai brushed his torn clothes off. His pants were ripped eveywhere, and only the waist part remained intact. His shirt was no more, the fire had engulfed it. "I liked that shirt too." Kitai's wings fanned out, and he regained his lost sphere. He darted straight for the beast, intent on slaying it. The man fainted when he saw the boy fly away with his wings.

The beast was running amuck in the town, breathing its molten breath everywhere, incinerating anything on site, or crushing it with brute force. It truly seemed to be a scene out of a movie. Then Kitai reached the monster's back, and he screamed yet again, "Occult Impaction!"

This blow was more powerful than the previous, and the monster's chest was blown forward, dragging the other appendages along for the ride. Kitai Snapped in front of the beast, and let out another Occult Impaction. The beast was playing tennis, and it was the ball. Then Kitai rushed to the monster with his wings, and launched another Occult Impaction at its head, launching it upwards, with its body vertical as if it had been dealt a lethal uppercut. Kitai ascended faster than the monster was from the blow, and he greeted the infernal beast's head with yet another Occult Impaction, this time, the beast was aimed straight for the ground. It screamed in pain as the fourth blow was dealt, but the scream was drowned out as it smashed into the ground.

Kitai groaned. "Don't tell me that I'm going to get used to killing things like this too." He was worn out, the fire had burned much of his skin, and it didn't help that Kitai was over-exerting himself. Then Kitai noticed something. There were glowing insignas at each spot where an appendage would meet the chest.

Suddenly the behemoth awoke from its slumber. It shook a bit, until it regained its stamina, and waved its right arm, smacking Kitai to the side, batting him out of the sky. Kitai was knocked several thousand feet away from the creature, and landed on his stomach with a loud thud. Kitai pushed himself up, and spat out more blood, gasping for air. His burns and bruises were much worse now.

"Damnit, I'm definitely not gonna get used to this." He managed to stand up, and started to rethink his assault, while the monster continued its assault on the city. "I obviously can't damage it like any normal being, and it did have some odd emblems burned into the stone at some parts." He remembered a faint energy radiating from those same spots when he was attacking the monster. "Well, I guess I better put an end to this." Kitai clasped his sword to put it sword away, and resummoned his spheres. His eyes were determined, and each hand had clenched a sphere now. He flew towards the monster, using his auxilary pair of wings, and as he reached the monster, the familiar feeling of his fiery spheres emerged, and he let loose those burning embers at the site of the lowest two insignas.

The behemoth writhed in pain as the blue fire met its weakpoint, and staggered around a bit. But Kitai would not allow the monster to recover. He quickly elevated himself more, and launched more spheres at the point where the arms met the chest. The monster could not take the pain anymore, and quickly turned around, lashing out to whatever was in the sky at that point with its bulky arms. Kitai managed to dodge the attack by using Snap once more, and now he was far behind the monster, ready for his last attack. He summoned his angelic orb, and called upon his sword once again. He waved it to his backside, let out a battlecry, and began to glow an awesome red aura. He put forth more energy into his sword, and his sword now emitted a powerful red aura as well. He was ready now. He charged towards the monster that was flailing around like a chicken thats lost its head. Just before Kitai reached the infernal coals of the monster, he gripped his sword tighter, and hurled it straight for the neck's insigna with all of his might.

The monster screamed again, as it was forced forward by the impact.

Kitai bolted upward, and extended his right leg, aiming it straight for his sword that was jammed into the weak spot. Kitai yelled out loud, as loud as his throat would let him. "DIE YOU BASTARD!"

His foot met the sword's hilt, and to the monster, it felt as though a planet just smashed into him. The monster was overcome with too much pain, and fell to its knees. The screaming was so loud that glass shattered, and cars and civilians were knocked away from the waves of it. The beast gripped its head to try and ease the pain.

Then there was a pause. An odd silence.

The monster fell to the ground. The ominous green fires were now a pale white, and then dissapeared from sight. The large boulders turned to ashes, and the monster was no longer in existance.

Pandemonium uproared in the city. The people were experiencing so many different emotions at once. Pain, confusion, sadness, happiness, despair. Too many emotions to name. Ambulances were rushing back and forth, trying to get as many injured people to the hospital. Firefighters were attempting to rescue anyone from buildings that were felled by the behemoth. Police were making an effort to settle everyone down.

Kitai landed, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was still gasping for air, and it didn't help that his wounds hurt very badly. He walked over to the school, which was conveniently only a block away from where he landed. He saw Steven looking in awe at the ground-zero that was made just a few moments ago. As Steven saw Kitai walking toward him, he started to run towards him.

Steven screamed to Kitai, "Kai. Kai! What the hell just happened?"

"I don't know." Kitai let out another sigh of relief. "But more importantly, where's Rea's house?"

Steven was angered by this. "More importantly?" He retorted. "Half of the city was just demolished, and you can only think of Rea?" If Kitai wasn't injured, Steven would've punched him straight in the face.

Kitai answered the insult with an evil glare aimed at Steven's angered eyes. "Where's Rea's house?" There was a hint of annoyance and anger in Kitai's voice as he made his statement. "I'm only in Arizona because of Rea. If I wasn't here, the city would've been gone by now. Now take me to Rea's house."

Steven still had something to say though. "Rea's house? We need to get you to the hospital first. Look at yourself."

Kitai already knew the condition he was in. "Rea's house." Kitai was clearly pissed off at this point. "Now."

There was no use trying to argue with Kitai, as he was right. If he wasn't going to meet Rea today, the monster would've just run rampant around, with no one to stop it. But still, Kitai could've waited an hour or so to go to the hospital and get his wounds looked at. Reluctantly, Steven brought Kitai over to his broken down pick-up truck. He started the ignition.

"Get in. It's easier if I just drive you." Steven examined Kitai. "I doubt you want to walk in the condition you're in anyway."

Steven and Kitai left the city in shambles, with people running around everywhere. Order would not be restored for a long time. There was a strange silence in the car, Kitai only wanted to talk to Rea at that point, and Steven found nothing to say. It felt awkward meeting someone you've only talked to online, and then not saying anything to them.

After a short drive, they were at Rea's house. Steven drove up the driveway, and let Kitai out. They headed towards the door together.

"Good luck!" yelled Steven. He stepped back a bit so Rea wouldn't see him when she answered the door.

"Yea, whatever." Kitai mumbled. He wanted to talk to Rea, and only Rea.

He walked over to the frontdoor, and hit the doorbell.

ding dong

No one came. Again, he hit it.

ding dong

He heard movement inside. Someone was walking down the stairs, slowly at that.

After waiting for a brief moment, the door swung open, and Kitai was greeted by a familiar face that he's seen before, but only in pictures.

"Rea... I'm here." Kitai stated.

Rea was in shock... Kitai? Kitai was here? There were no reports that Kitai had gotten out of the hospital, as the media wasn't allowed to release any, so few people knew Kitai wasn't in the hospital.

"K... Kitai?" Then Rea remembered how unkept she looked. Her cheeks were flushed, and showed signs of massive crying. Her hair was in tangles, seeming to go in every direction. And she was also still in her sleeping clothes. She moved her head to the side, trying to avoid any direct stares. "Hi..." she said in a coy manner.

And in a split-second, something hit Rea. She looked forward. Kitai was hugging her.

"Rea... I finally get to see you. I am so very, very happy." Kitai was crying in joy. He finally met the girl he's loved for so long, but yet never met prior to this moment. Rea's only response was to embrace him.

There they stood. Kitai and Rebecca, hugging each other, they were content with that. They had finally met each other, and hugging seemed to be the thing they wanted to do most.

After a few minutes, Kitai broke the silence. "Rea... I love you." Kitai could not stay awake though. He was in great pain, and he wanted, no, he needed rest. He managed to say a few last words before passing out. "Rea, let me rest here, please..." And with that, Kitai fell asleep, asleep in Rea's arms.

Rea looked down upon the sleeping Kitai. Her slender hands worked their way over his sweet, beautiful face, committing it to memory for all eternity. There was nothing that could be said. It wasn't because Kitai was unconscious, but rather because no words could capture the beauty of his body pressed up against hers. She smiled. For once, she was happy.

"I love you," she whispered softly to his sleeping form. "I love you."
