Rainy rubbed the area around her torso where the dragon tried to sink his fangs into her. "That Andre... I am gonna KILL him..." She looked up and nearly fell over backwards when she noticed how close Raymad was from her face. He grinned. "Andre is the least of your worries, my dear. We have plans to carry out." Velrien snorted. "Yeah, what plans?" Raymad stepped over to Velrien and said, "To rule this world, my friend. It WAS your idea in the first place." "MY idea was to just destroy everything, Mad Boy." "Then this is your chance!" Raymad instantly turned to Sky when he heard a little whimper. Indeed, Sky was trembling in fear and seemed to be staring at something in the woods. Raymad smirked and walked over to him. "What's wrong, squirt? See a baby bear? Don't worry, they can't even see y--" Raymad froze instantly and also seemed to be staring into the forest. Velrien looked at them. "Wow, that must be pretty big for a baby bear." Kitmit saw Raymad shudder slightly, and fear instantly rose into her chest as well. "I don't think they're looking at a bear..." Raymad seemed to be leaning back a bit and said in a tiny voice, "Run." Velrien raised one eyebrow. "What?" "Run... RUN!!!" Raymad quickly grabbed Sky's hand and started to run as fast as he could. "I don't wanna KNOW what it is!!," yelled Rainy as she chased after them. Seeing her "master's" fear, Ly instantly broke into a run as well, Kitmit 13 was dragged after her because of the magic. Kitmit began to follow as well, but stopped when she noticed Velrien wasn't following.
She looked back at him. He just stood, there not moving. Kitmit wanted to get away so badly, but she knew that she couldn't just leave him behind. She ran back and yelled, "Come on! What are you waiting for?!" But he wouldn't move. He seemed to be staring at something, his mouth hung open and his eyes showed nothing but pure terror. "Come ON!!" Kitmit grabbed his hand and began to run as fast as she could, just before there was a huge earth-shattering roar and the sound of trees breaking into splinters and rock being turned into rubble. She ran, trying to figure out where all the others had gone and feared for them as well. Sky was young and not used to such a thing happening. But she was especially afraid of how Rainy and Raymad would get along if they were separated for too long. They might get into a huge fight, and Sky would be in the middle of it all. Soon, the sounds of the huge monster began to fade away into nothing. Kitmit stopped running and looked at her surroundings, Velrien trembled and held onto her hand. It was still too quiet, where could the creature be? Then she heard the scream. It was Sky. After she heard the little one's scream, she heard a thundrous roar and the ground shook slightly. "Oh no..." At first, she jogged slighly, unsure that she should go to them. But soon broke into an all-out run. Velrien clutched onto her hand almost painfully, he was too afraid of being separated now.
It took a while, but they got closer and closer. As Kitmit was sure that they were about to find the others, or even their bodies, she was knocked to the ground hard. She screamed in both pain and fear, and was soon on her back and gasping from all of her running. She had dragged Velrien down with her by mistake. He was now beside her, shaking almost violently and whimpering a little. Kitmit listened as the heavy footsteps of the beast disappeared into the forest once more. Then her head felt strange, very fuzzy. She also felt something warm begin to drip down her face. Soon, Rainy's worried face appeared. She seemed to be calling Kitmit's name, but Kitmit could no longer hear anything. She felt Rainy shaking her, trying to make her snap out of it. But everything was going dark. Raymad's face appeared for a brief moment as well, he seemed to be panicking. Then, it was all gone. Nothing but the darkness that swirled around her in an invisible mist.

"...and now, your duty is to protect him. To train him. Be careful. He may be young, but he has a lot of power. He does not know how to use them, and he may be dangerous." "I understand." "Good." A man in a white cloak pushed in a few buttons on an old rusted keyboard and the huge metal door noisely slid open. The man walked over to a tube and smiled at the creature inside. "Damien, I would like you to meet your little brother. His name is... Velrien." Damien walked up to the tube and peered inside, seeing a small creature only about half his size inside. His odd body had several tubes and wires running from the machines and into him, a life support system. He had no limbs and no neck, just like Damien. Infact, he looked almost exactly like Damien exept he was so small. Purple torso with a white ring on his chest, white-gloved hands, yellow shoes, blond hair and a large nose. He also had a smilar little red bandana.
The man pressed a button and the greenish liquid inside the tube began to drain away. Velrien slowly slid to the floor, appearing to be in a sleep-like state. The man pressed another button and there was a slight buzzing sound, but the little creature opened his cute eyes. The first thing he saw was his older brother, Damien. Velrien sat up, sleepy, and shook his head to get the remaining liquid out of his hair and ears. Damien's vicious red eyes met the innocent blue ones of his younger brother, and he instantly felt his heart begin to melt. He may have been a creature made for evil, but even Damien had his limits. His younger brother was just too innocent to have to live a life like this. Soon, the tube began to lift up, releasing little Velrien. The man walked over and began to carefully pull the tubes and wires from his body.
The man turned to Damien and smiled. "Good luck, Damien. We are going to release the both of you into the canyon soon so you may train together for one week. I expect nothing but the best of you both when your time is up." Damien nodded. "Yes, Sir Razorbeard." Damien reached out toward Velrien. He looked at his hand for a moment, hesitant. But he then took his hand and was helped down from the platform. Velrien looked up at Damien and smiled, like he thought his older brother was the best thing in the world already. Damien got a strong urge to smile back down at him, but Razorbeard was watching. Almost like Razorbeard knew what Damien was thinking, he said, "Don't get too attached to him. Depending on his progress, he may not have a very long life at all. Understand?" Damien nodded. "Yes, Sir Razorbeard." "Good. Now, get to the Patrol Ship TYL-487. You leave immediatly." "Yes, Sir Razorbeard." Damien pulled along Velrien, who was now looking around with open-mouthed awe. Damien thought that his little brother was kind of cute. Besides Razorbeard, he had never met another living creature before. He wondered if all animals on the planet below were like this. Even if they are, you're the most special of all, Damien thought.

"Another one!! Woah, how many of us ARE there??" "Raymad, shut up!" Raymad looked back at Rainy. "Kill-joy." He walked over to her. At that moment, Rainy was finishing bandaging Kitmit's head. She was attacked by the creature who had chased them and she got a nasty gash to the head. Normally, she would have died. But Rainy used her powers as best as she could to try and heal her. It saved Kitmit's life, but now the rest had to be left up to time. "I coulda captured that Raymanian. He looked useful. Hey, here he comes!" "Here THEY come," Sky pointed out. Out of the forest, three Raymen appeared. Actually, two of them were female. The tallest of them had an icy blue colored torso with a silver ring on her chest. She also had purple shoes and a purple bandana. Her eyes were a beautiful blue, almost like Kitmit's. But they looked more like ice than crystal. She had bright blond hair, some had hung over her eyes in the now normal fashion, as with Rainy and Raymad.
Two other Raymanians held her hands. The one on her left was a boy, appearing to be about Sky's size and age. He had a lighter purple torso with a white ring, yellow shoes, a red bandana that seemed a little too big for him, dark blue eyes, and he had very long hair. It looked about the same as Rayman's, exept it was VERY long. Basically, he could make one killer Helicopter Hair attack. The Raymanian on her right seemed the same age of Sky as well, but she was slightly shorter than him. She had brown hair that went to where her shoulders would be and curled at the ends. She had a red bow in her pony tail and had sparkling sky blue eyes. Her torso was red with a white ring and she has red shoes as well.
Raymad instantly stood up, rubbing his hands together like he were plotting something evil. "Yes, now I won't have to work as hard..." The tallest looked at Raymad curiously as he got into a pouncing position. "GOTCHA-eh??" Raymad had jumped at them, but was somehow stopped in mid-air and now floated helplessly in front of them. The tallest merely nodded toward a tree, and Raymad flew at it and hit it with full force. Sky flinched. "THAT had to hurt." Rainy grinned. "Well, he deserved it. The nerve of him, kidnapping us for his evil plans..." Rainy turned her attention back to the newcomers as they began to walk toward her and Kitmit. "Uh... hi. I'm Rainy, and this is Kitmit. She... got hurt." The tallest looked down at Rainy, her face was completely expressionless. She let go of the two children and knelt down, then she placed her hand on Kitmit's forehead. Rainy watched in amazement as the Raywoman's hand began to glow a bright blue. When she took her hand away, the glow had engulfed Kitmit's entire body. When the glow died down, all of her injuries had completely healed. Rainy watched the Raywoman as she stood up. "Miss? Uh... who are you?" The Raywoman looked at Rainy, her icy eyes seemed to be peering right into Rainy's very soul. "The girl is Pyra, the boy is Windy. My name is Siana."
