Chapter 10 - Avoid the Sun
"I had a great time with you today, Sol." Sol glanced at her and smiled. "Me too." They walked closely, side by side in the thick crowds. Sol stopped. Kimiko saw every muscle in his body tense. She looked at him. Sol was looking out in the crowd near a club. Kimiko saw a man get out of a limo. A woman was by his side and so were two security guards. "What is it?" she asked. Then she recognized him. The man from her dream. Kaga. "Stay here, Kimiko." Sol said gently brushing past her, not losing sight of the man. "No, no. NO! SOL!" she called after him. Sol approaced the bouncer as Kimiko despretately tried to push herself past the increasing numbers of people. Sol was stopped by him. He argued and tried to force his way through and the larger bouncer pushed him. Kimiko saw him assume a fighting stance.
The next time the bouncer reached out Sol's voice filled the street. "SUN!" The large man screamed and grabbed his eyes. Sol then kicked him high and hard into his chin. The bouncer had a glass jaw and collapsed unconcious instantly. People in the street and the club began to scream. "No, Sol!" Kimiko screamed to no avail. Sol calmly proceeded past the fallen bouncer. Kimiko caught up to him at this time and tried grabbing him. "Stop, we can get the cops! Don't do this!" Nothing reached him. He just kept walking. She then saw Kaga nod to the two security guards. They both approached. Kimiko backed off but Sol continued. The whole room seemed to slow down. One of the two security guards with a pair of brass knuckles took a swing at Sol. Sol dodged, letting the arm sail past his head and then caught it with his left hand. The man's face contorted in pain as Sol twisted the arm and then punched the back of his elbow, causing the joint to shatter. The man fell screaming. "NO!" she cried again. Before the other man had a chance to react, Sol soared into him, his knee hitting the man in the groin. As the man keeled over, Sol hit him in the stomach. Then Sun charged punch hit so hard, the guard was lifted off his feet. He hit a table and shattered it. Sol's eyes locked on Kaga's.
Kaga's girlfriend screamed and ran from his side, leaving him sitting on the couch. Sol slowly walked up the few steps which seperated him from the higher level. Kaga tried to keep a complacent and calm face but Kimiko could tell he was abosolutely terrified. A few feet from Sol, he stood and pulled a pistol. NO! Kimiko thought. She focused her mind. "FIRE!" she yelled as a ray of orange fury left her finger tips and wrapped around the armed hand. Kaga yelped in pain and turned his hand just as he pulled the trigger.

BLAM
The round slowly left the gun and seemed to linger in mid air before it found it's target. Sol winced as the bullet ripped past his side, tearing a gash in it and throwing a stream of blood in the direction of it's path. In a flash, Sol caught the gun and with his right arm and punched into the man's ribs with his other. The man crashed into the couch with a crack from his ribs. In the instant Kaga had hit, Sol had reversed the gun. He aproached the stunned man and placed the barrel on his forehead. "SOL! NO!" Kimiko screamed. Sol's face turned to Kimiko's. Tears streamed down his face.
