I skate into the park when the moon rises and notice two things.

One: the park's empty.

Two: someone left their sunglasses in a chair.

I skate over to the sunglasses.

Oh, they're not sunglasses.

They're one of those new-fangled things people call EM Seers.

I put them on.

Amazing! I can see viruses and everything!

I take off my skates and sling them over my shoulder.

I can see roads…roads? And there's tons of Navis, too! Is this what they meant by overly active EM waves?

I walk to the place where fireworks were supposed to be launched from.

The machines are all here, they just have no ammo.

I touch one of the machines.

I can see it as though it's breathing…it's like it's trying to tell me something…

Too late I notice the blue being that circles behind me and touches my back.

Agh!

Darkness sets in.

Where…where am I? Am…am I dead? Electrocuted?

No.

Eek! Who are you?

"I am Omega-Xis. Open your eyes, human."

I open my eyes and find my TR is activated, with one drastic difference.

The monitor shows one object: the blue being that touched me.

It's a weird being, like one you'd see after a near-death experience, with glowing green "fur" and blue armored wrist guards and breastplate. His head reminds me of a dog or wolf.

"Who…who are you?" I ask, wondering what exactly it was.

"I told you." The being says, "I'm Omega-Xis, an AM-ian."

What?

"Why are you in my TR, then?" I say, standing up.

"Because you're the first one I ever saw since 200 years ago to have the same EM wave-length as I do," Omega-Xis says, "Now, who are you?"

"Layla, Layla Woods," I say, slightly confused now.

Omega-Xis nods and says, "Pleased to meet you. Now, what'd you say this thing was? A TR?"

"A Trans-Ring," I say, still wondering where this…thing…came from.

Omega-Xis nods and says, "Take those glasses, too. You'll need those."

I look and realize the sunglasses had fallen when I fainted.

I pick them up and say, "Why? Any reason?"

"Sooner or later, if they find me," Omega-Xis replies, "Now, you might want to get home. You were unconscious for a few hours, and it's midnight now."

Midnight!

I put the glasses on and put on my skates, muttering, "Gonna be late, gonna be late."

When I finish, I say, "I have to turn the TR off, or I'm not gonna be able to see."

"Go ahead," Omega-Xis says, "I can follow you with the EM roads."

The one thing I don't want you to do!
