A/N: Yikes, it's been a while! I've been pretty busy, so sorry about the huge delay. But hey, I'm back! And that's what matters, right? I'm probably going to revise this chapter in the future, as some points may seem vague or without enough detail. Or it may even seem rushed. I've tried to fit in as much as I can, to make up for the lack of updates.

For those who have been reading this story for a while, you may have realized that the original prologue has been removed. This is not a mistake. It was a writing and organizational error on my part, and I have other plans for it. For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, you'll figure out as the story progresses.

So that's all for my author's note. And again, sorry for the late update! I'll try to update sooner, but I won't make any promises. If you want to leave a review, you're going to have to PM me. Reason being is that because I removed the original prologue, you can't leave a review directly. I'll post your reviews up in my A/N for next chapter, and I'll also give you a reply.

Book I: It's Been Four Years

Chapter 4: Omega-Xis

All he could do was keep on running.

Geo made a great deal of effort to not break down crying to the sight of his father's photograph. He squeezed his eyes shut, only to accidentally run into someone. After being given a deadly glare, Geo hastily apologized and continued to run, ignoring the strange stares other people gave him.

He couldn't bear going back home for now – he didn't want to see his mother cry any longer. There was only place he could go.

Geo finally halted in front of a sign that read: 'Vista Point'. He slowly walked up the large staircase that stood before him, which led him to a large platform. Great evergreen trees stood in rows, the leaves flowing along with the brisk evening spring breeze. Vista Point used to be a well-known place where stargazers would come and gape upon the heavens. And it still is, though few people take the time to properly enjoy the activity.

The spiky haired teen walked to his usual spot, under a tree, and settled himself on the fresh grass. Whenever he would ever feel lonely, lost, or simply sad, he would always come here.

Here, at Vista Point, was the only place where Geo could be himself, and feel accepted, because there was usually no one but himself.

As he slowly inhaled the fresh air, he stared up at the starry night sky. He could make out a couple constellations, like Lyra and Gemini to name a few. Without knowing it, his hands trailed up to the green glasses resting on his forehead and lowered them to his eyes.

Through the green lenses, Geo's vision was introduced to a terrific sight. He could see all the EM Waves passing through air, each with a different pattern. Everyone used EM Radiation during 220x, though nobody could see it. Nobody, that is, except Geo and his special spectacles, which he called the Visualizer.

A small smile crept upon Geo's face. To him, all this – the stars and the EM Waves – were enchanting. It would amaze him and keep him in wonder every time. He would always dream about the planets beyond the stars, and all the infinite possibilities the universe holds.

As awestruck as he was, Geo was getting tired. It was the first of many days of school, and it would definitely take time to get used to. He slowly lowered his eyelids and began to slow his breathing. As he was falling a slumber, he could hear a faint melody filling the air…

"W-what's happening!"

Geo's little nap was interrupted by the ground's sudden shake. Trying to stand up, he tripped and fell on all fours, groaning. He felt himself and everything around him vibrate. With the Visualizer on, he could see that all the EM Waves flowing around him were jerking in all directions violently. Geo had never experienced an earthquake before, and he couldn't stop screaming.

From the corner of his eye, the boy could see something flash in the starry night sky. It flashed once, and then flashed again and again.

Is that a star? Geo gritted his teeth as he clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white.

The 'star' continued to flash, and it took Geo a while to notice that it was growing bigger by each flicker. As the ground began to rumble even more, Geo gasped, realizing that it wasn't growing bigger.

It was falling towards the earth.

That was when Geo really began to scream. From the looks of it, it looked like it was heading straight towards the boy! It soon began to appear bigger than Echo Ridge itself, and before Geo could squeeze his eyes shut, everything flashed before him.

Geo's ears were still buzzing when he opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was his Visualizer lying down on the ground next to him. Geo picked them up, dusting them off a little.

What was that? An asteroid? But if it was, then why is nothing damaged? An asteroid that size would've obliterated the continent! Geo slowly got up, observing that nothing in Vista Point, let alone Echo Ridge, attained a scratch. That was weird…

He wasn't hurt at all, and he stretched out any stiffness in his body. Suddenly, Geo noticed something even stranger. The EM Waves that were out of frequency during the earthquake were flowing naturally as usual, but some of them were flowing to something behind him. Curious, Geo turned around, only to be met with the most seemingly unearthly thing ever.

Geo couldn't describe whom, no, what it was. It seemed to look like some sort of a wolfish hound, but then again, it didn't. It was clad in blue armour, and EM Energy flowed constantly around him, forming green spikes and razor-pointed claws. It also hovered above the ground. A weird sound came out of Geo's mouth, sounding a bit like a soft girlish squeak.

It quickly spun around, revealing blood-red eyes and a pair of sharp fangs, causing Geo to jump. His heart was beating so fast that he could even hear it. It was as if the boy was so scared that he couldn't even scream and run.

The blue hound's sharp eyes narrowed on Geo's, causing a small drop of sweat to trickle down his face. It stared at the boy for a while, he said in a gruff voice, "You…can see me?"

If the fact that seeing an unknown creature was weird enough, then finding out that it could talk sure was! Geo gulped. "Ummm…"

The wolfish creature let out a growl. "I asked you, human, if you could see me?"

Geo felt a lump in his throat. He slowly nodded.

"How? How is that possible? I thought humans couldn't see EM Radiation."

"Well, i-it's these glasses, see," Geo said in a very shaky voice, pointing at the lenses covering his eyes. "With these on, I could see all EM and Z Waves."

Geo's eyes lit up. "Wait, hold on!" He quickly removed his Visualizer, and within a second, the creature vanished from his range of sight. Geo slowly put them back on, and as he guessed, the strange being reappeared.

"I, um, are…er, what are you?"

"I'd prefer a 'whom', thank you very much," the wolfish-hound said, snarling a bit. "My name is Omega-Xis, and as you've guessed, I'm made of purely EM Radiation. I'm from a planet in another galaxy far away from here, called…" Omega-Xis paused a while, his eyes darkening a bit. "…Planet FM."

Geo's eyes widened. He tensed up at the name. " 'Planet FM'!" he sputtered. "A-are you for real?"

Omega-Xis nodded. "Yes. I'm not surprised if you haven't heard of it. It –"

"No, I have! It's…" Geo stopped himself, grimacing a bit. Flashbacks of his father came to his mind, making him tense up. Wanting to change the subject, he asked, "Was it you that fell from the sky?"

Omega-Xis nodded. "Yeah, that was me. Sorry if I gave you a scare," he said, chuckling a little.

Geo groaned. 'Scared'? I thought I'd piss my pants…

Suddenly, Geo's thought was cut short to the sound of an explosion. The two quickly spun around to see a computer monitor near them on fire, electricity shooting out from it.

"Holy crap!" cried Geo. "How did that happen?"

Omega-Xis didn't reply, keeping his eyes on the computer monitor. Finally he spoke, "Hey, kid! Take a closer look at it!"

"What! I'm not going near that thing!"

"I didn't mean go near it! I told to look at it again! Try to look…through it!"

'Through it'? Confused, Geo narrowed his eyes on the control panel, not so sure what the alien was talking about. Suddenly, he could somehow see a faint outline of small moving figures inside of the monitor.

"I think I see what you're talking about! W-what are they?" Geo cried.

"Those are called EM Viruses. They're pesky little bastards that like to mess with anything electronic," replied Omega-Xis.

Geo was too scared to notice Omega-Xis' cursing. "W-what should we do? Should I call the fire department or something?"

Omega-Xis thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Don't do anything yet. I've an idea."

"Really?" said Geo.

The blue alien nodded. "Yeah, but I'm gonna have to ask a favour from you."

Geo's eyes widened. "W-what…?" The night seemed crazy enough for the 14-year-old teen, and to think he only came here to gaze upon the stars.

Omega-Xis rushed towards him, causing Geo to jump and startle back a bit. The FM-ian began to sniff at Geo, confusing the boy even further.

"Uh…?"

After a couple of seconds, Omega-Xis stopped. "Yeah, kid, you're perfect…you seem…compatible."

'Perfect'? 'Compatible'? "I'm sorry, what are you talking about?" Geo exclaimed, getting a little annoyed.

"Kay, I dunno how to say this, but this may hurt a little," said Omega-Xis, huffing a bit.

Before Geo could even think of replying, Omega-Xis transformed into a small ball of green light and flung itself into inside of Geo. A strange sensation followed as the light and EM Radiation began to envelop the boy's body. With a cry out, his body began to flash in different colours, blinding his own vision. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground, feeling EM Waves surround him.

"Kid, you alright?"

Geo noticed that Omega-Xis' voice was coming from somewhere on his arm, strangely enough. He looked at his left arm, only to find, at the time, the scariest thing ever.

"Whoa!" Geo exclaimed, leaping from the ground. He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Where his left hand used to be was Omega-Xis' head, which was looking right up at him.

And that wasn't the only thing he noticed. Geo saw that his entire body was fully clad in blue armour, similar to Omega-Xis' armour. Geo's chest plate had his star pendant stuck onto it. He looked down at his feet to see tightly attached dark blue boots, also noticing that dark blue gloves covered his right hand. A light blue line stretched from the bottom of his chest plate to the top of his boots. He raised his right hand and felt his face (afraid that if he lifted his left hand, Omega-Xis might for some reason bite him), noticing that a red visor covered his eyes. A blue helmet also sat in place, though there was a small space for his spiky hair to flow with the wind freely. With his peripheral vision, he could see red and white ear-muff-like objects covering over his ears. Oddly enough, he could still hear things clearly, if anything, even better.

"W-what did you do, Omega-Xis!" Geo exclaimed, confused and scared.

Omega-Xis looked up at him. "This, kid, is your EM Wave Form."
