My Heroes: A Hero's Journey
Brian's Journey part 1

Brian laid on his back on something soft as the sunlight hit his face. He squinted a bit and opened his eyes as a shadow fell over him, blocking the sun from above him.

"Morning sleepy head," a soft female voice said leaning over him, causing the shadow.

"Huh?" Brian moaned as he opened his eyes a lot more and looked around to see that he was lying on a beach with the sea waves brushing up against his bare feet. He then looked up at the beautiful woman looking over him. "Tea?"

"Yeah?" Tea replied as Brian sat up a bit and she saw the confused look on his face. "What is it darling?"

"Nothing," he relied as he realised he was worrying her.

"Good," Tea replied before she lent in and kissed him.

'Was it all just a freaky dream then?' Brian wondered to himself, and then looked back at Tea. "I can't believe I'm home," he whispered before he lent in for another kiss.

"Mum! Dad!" a kid yelled as he came running up to them.

"Hey, sweetheart," Tea greeted her son as he sat down next to him.

"William!" Brian responded as he hugged his son.

"Whoa dad, you act like you haven't seen me in ages, I only went down the market." the boy known as William replied as he broke out of his father's hug.

"Are you sure you're okay honey?" Tea asked as she put her hand on his forehead.

"I'm fine…no wait, I'm great!" he said as he put his arms around his wife's and son's shoulders and pulled them into a group hug, dragging them back down to the sand. They all laid there laughing until William brought out a bag.

"Oh dad, I got something for you down the market," William said as he gave the brown paper bag to Brian.

"Yeah? Thank you, let's see what it is," Brian said as he pulled out a black T-shirt out of the bag. "Wow, thanks son."

"Open it up!"

Brian did what his son said and opened the T-shirt up and held it up in front of him. But the smile on Brian's face faded as he saw a white skull on the black T-shirt.

Suddenly, storm clouds appeared above him as the thunder roared and the sky went dark.

"We'd better get out of here," Brian said, but when he looked around, neither Tea nor William were to be seen as he sat alone. "Tea? William?"

Brian suddenly jumped up a started running around, in hope of finding them. He could hear their laughter echoing through the air so he followed that.

He ran for ages until he stepped onto a dock and saw something horrifying. He started running towards it.

"No!" he yelled. Suddenly, from the sky above a bright white lighting bolt struck down directly at him.

"Ah!" Brian screamed as he suddenly woke up again and then heard voices.

"See I told ya it would work!

"Huh, you owe me five bucks then Bakura!"

"Oh all right,"

"Wha…what?" Brian moaned as a dark blonde female came into his view.

"Brian, are you all right?" she asked.

"Kir…Kirsty?" Brian said as he fully opened his eyes and sat up a little. He looked around to see he was not on a beach but the cold grey streets of what was left of Domino city and their lab. Surrounding Brian was Kirsty, who was bent down beside him, a women with long black hair and blue eyes, a man with long spiky blonde hair and violet eyes wearing black leather and a boy, much younger than the other two, with long purple/reddish hair and brown eyes but on his left side of his face but on the right side of his face was mechanic with a bit of blue machinery in the top of his skull and the rest of his body was all in the blue/white/grey machinery except for part on his arms were it showed his normal skin. Also, standing behind them was Bakura and Marik, who had seemed pleased about winning money off him. Suddenly, Brian realised something. "Whe…where's the others! Tea…" Brian said quickly as he tried to get up.

"Relax, Brian," Kirsty said as she stopped him, by forcing him to lay back on the ground with her powers. She then looked over to her right as Brian did as well, only to see his comrades on the floor unconscious.

"Tea, Ryou…Kaiba."
