Atsu never knew anything besides the world he grew up in. The orphanage he called home wasn't bad, but it was small. And where all the other orphans got adopted one by one he would wait for a family… possibly even his real father. He would dream about his parents every night… but never did find anything but a photo of him. Suddenly, just as Atsu put his father's photo away, he looked out the window to see a strong storm headed for Destiny Island. Atsu couldn't put his finger on why but something told him to go check on Daichi and Chika. He jumped out the window into the pile of palm leaves at the bottom of the fall.
Atsu found Daichi on the island. He was looking at the storm from the bent tree on the smaller island.
"Daichi! What are you doing!?" Atsu yelled over the wind.
"This isn't a storm… it's worse…" Daichi looked at Atsu with fear. "This is World Collision!" Atsu looked up at the sky that Daichi saw… and noticed a city hanging upside down coming closer and closer to the Island. "I'm gonna try and stop this, find Chika and get her to safety." Daichi jumped up and kept going into the city in the sky. Atsu took his advice and found Chika in the cave by the Waterfall.
"Chika!" Atsu yelled to get her attention. She turned around looking like she was asleep.
"At..su…shi…" there was a blast of wind and a flurry of dust and Chika was gone. Atsu ran outside…only to be pulled into the city in the sky. And watched as his world crumbled into darkness.
