The Light that Blinds the day
Chapter 5: The Day Earth Would Freeze In Place
"My name...what is my name?" I could hear a voice say in my head. "I'm not sure...I don't even know who you are, or what you look like. I can't help you." I reply back to the voice. "But you have to. It's your destiny." The voice says rather demandingly. "I don't have to do shit, so you can shut your trap." I summoned my Keyblade, looking around me. The area was noticeably dark. "You can't see me...you can't feel me...you can only hear me." The voice turned into an evil sounding voice. "I will freeze the Earth and all who inhabit it, and you won't be able to stop me." The voice said with a laugh so evil I cringed. That was when I woke up. Sweaty, and still shocked at what I heard, I got off of my car hood and walked inside the apartment. Everyone else was still asleep, so I decided to grab myself some breakfast. Microwavable pancakes. Who doesn't love those? While waiting for my pancakes, I decided to watch a little T.V., so I turn it on. Tom and Jerry was showing on Boomerang (admit it, classic cartoons are better than the modern ones). The noise of Tom running into a pot woke up Max, and he walked into the living room. "Morning Max." I say, keeping an optimistic look on my face. "Morning...I guess." Max shrugged and walked into the kitchen. He saw the microwaved pancakes I was making. "Pancakes that can be microwaved?" Max tilted his head. "Yeah, why not?" I chuckle. "Do you want some?" "Sure. I'm pretty hungry right now." Max grinned. Today seemed like it would be a normal day, until the T.V. randomly shut itself off. "What the...how?" I ran over to the T.V. to examine it, inside and out. "No frayed cord, everything inside the T.V. seems to be functioning normally, but nothing's happening when I push the remote…" I think hard about the situation. My phone began to ring, and I answer it. "Hello? This is BeatMax." I say in my more casual but somewhat formal voice. "BeatMax, grab your friends and come to the police station. It's urgent." I recognized that voice. It was Vince. "We'll be there in 10 minutes." I say, and then hung up on him. Alex and Andrew woke up, rubbing their eyes. "Mmm...what's going on?" Alex asks in a tired sounding voice. He sounded like he had stayed up all night.
"Well, Vince just called us to go to the police station." I tell everyone. "And I think it might have something to do with the T.V.s across the world." "Why? What's wrong with the T.V.?" Andrew asked. "Go see for yourself." I point to the T.V.. Andrew went to turn the T.V. on, but it didn't come on. "What the…" Andrew looked back at me. "Everything with the T.V. is fine, inside and out. I'm pretty sure other people's T.V.s have done the same thing." I reassure him. "Then we have no choice but to go talk to Vince." Max nodded. "We'd better move. We'll go on foot since the police station is only 2 minutes away." I cross my arms. The rest nodded and we began to run toward the police station.
"So all of the T.V.s aren't working?" I ask Vince after he explained the situation to Max, Alex, and Andrew. "That's right. Nothing wrong with em, but they just won't turn on." Vince crossed his arms. "This seems serious. I wonder if it has something to do with my dream?" I thought and pondered on it for a while. "Why not we go investigate a bit now? Maybe we can find out more." I suggested. "Sounds like a fine idea. We'll take my car." Vince chimed. The five got into the car, and began to drive on the road, when they noticed something strange. Every car on the road was frozen. Max got out of the car and looked at the people in the car. They were frozen. Max checked every car on the road. Every single person there was frozen. Max ran back to the car, in a sweat. "Everyone's frozen!" Max says in a panic. "Say wha?" Andrew looks at him a little confused. "Let me see for myself." I say, getting out of the car. I go to a nearby car and look into the car through the window. To my surprise, Max was right. The person in the car was frozen. I begin to sweat nervously, looking around. "That guy...in my dream. He was right. But...I don't have any leads as to who he could be. He didn't sound familiar at all. Maybe I should just keep this a secret and investigate by myself. I don't want to risk my friends getting hurt." I thought. I walk back to Vince's car calmly. "Max is right. Every single person is frozen." "This is awful…" Vince rubs his head, trying to compromise what happened. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go somewhere. I'll be gone for a while." I say, grabbing my bag from the trunk of Vince's car. "Go where?" Max asked. "I can't say for sure I know, but I'll know when I'm there." I say with intent in my eyes. "Stay with Vince. He'll take care of you." I add. "Be safe out there, though there...really isn't much to be safe from, except self injury." Alex says, a little worried. "Thanks. See you guys soon." I wave at them, then dash off. "Since I can't drive on the road, I may as well fly, or glide." I think to myself, then start to glide low on the ground. "I can't tell them the dream I had, otherwise they'd grow suspicious. This is something I have to do on my own." I thought. "It's for their own good. And I already have powers, so whatever this is, I'm sure I can stop it on my own." I continued thinking. As I came to the road, I increased my height, until I was flying high in the sky. Next stop, Japan.
