*Aiden stares at Isaac in disbelief*

Isaac: Are you alright?

Rylet: *Rylet stares, his pupils are small, sweat going down his temple*

Aiden: *Aiden is starting to freak out* I just… I just…

Isaac: *he lowers his helping hand and stands up straight* Is that not normal with your girlfriend? I can keep a secret.

Aiden: *Monika runs over and hugs Aiden's right arm, Aiden's pupils shrink as he quickly pulls his arm away and stands up with a growl* What the hell are you!?

Monika: *stays sitting on the ground* I can ask you the same. *She points to the sidewalk that is cracked* How are you able to do that? Aren't you the same as me?

Aiden: What the hell are you talking about?

Monika: *she slowly stands up* I have this weird gift now. *She glows purple* *the three boys back up from her nervously*

Rylet: *Rylet puts his left hand in front of Aiden to protect him* What the hell is that!? Explain now!

Isaac: *Isaac puts his hands up in a surrendering manner* Look look look! I just had the wrong message about Aiden! It was a simple misunderstanding!

Aiden: *Aiden lowers Rylet's hand with his left hand* Don't worry, she's not being aggressive so I see no reason to panic. I know this is some spooky shit but pinch yourself, this is real. So the best we can do is just try and understand what has happened to her.

Isaac: *pinches himself, letting out a yelp*

Rylet: *his eyes narrow with sweat on his temple* I don't trust her one bit, Aiden! This is some supernatural shit and the last thing I need is you getting hurt!

Aiden: *he turns to Rylet* Hey, it's alright. I can handle this if anything goes wrong.

Rylet: *he sweats more* Are you sure?

Aiden: *smiles* I got it under control. *He turns and looks at Monika* So when did this all begin?

Monika: *she starts to have a sweatdrop go down the side of her face while she scratches the back of her head with her right hand* Well… *shows a flashback of her a few years ago* I was in the same situation as you… sorta… seven years ago I met my boyfriend. He was the son of my mom's best friend. Being friends, our parents wanted us to be best friends as well. So we were forced to hangout 24/7, everything. Going to school, lunch, afterschool, his mom would let him stay the night so we could get closer until eventually we actually did become friends. He made sure no one picked on me, even going as far to bully the bullies back. He would make sure I held his hand when we crossed the street, made sure my food was warm before eating it, anything you name he probably did. He was very over protective… *she pauses before continuing* Until recently… A few days before I met you, he told me he didn't want to be with me because I was too needy but I barely talked to him, we were together for so long and went through so much together that I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt like a sword was going through my heart. I felt a piece of me die at that moment. Once he was done, I ran home without looking back once, crying every step there. I told my mom what had happened once I got there, she told me that it would be alright and that we were always together growing up so he was probably upset. *She starts to tear up, her voice starts to crack* Until I learned that he left me for someone else, because he got bored of me… I couldn't handle the harsh reality of what just happened so I started crying and crying, until something came over me. I had the sudden urge to make sure no one ever feels that horrible pain. *The flashback ends* So that's when I met you Aiden! I made it my life's goal to make sure no one is hurting over losing a loved one! I refuse to let you suffer! *Suddenly her purple fire aura gets bigger* *the boys take a few steps back fast* *She looks around surprised from the aura expanding* Huh?

Aiden: *he sweats nervously as he looks at her aura* Your aura, it's gotten bigger!

Monika: *she looks at herself to see the aura getting bigger, she gets scared* I shouldn't have done this! I don't know how to control it yet!

Rylet: And you let it out!?

Aiden: *he starts to think with his left hand on his chin with his eyes closed* If there is a possible way, maybe if you think about something it can go away. You said your goal was to never let anyone experience that pain and your aura grew! Maybe if you understand that you will work to that goal, it goes back inside.

Monika: *she closes her eyes and thinks to herself, suddenly her aura fades away, she slowly opens her eyes* Huh? *She looks around to see it gone* It worked!

Rylet: Nice catch Aiden, I thought we were going to get ourselves into some trouble.

Aiden: Whatever this power is, it goes off your emotions. So I'm going to need you to calm down alright.

Monika: *she nods* I understand, I'm sorry for what I caused, I'm just all over the place and I would like to apologize for it.

Aiden: I accept it.

Rylet: Not accepted. *The boys quickly look at each other fast*

Aiden: Huh!?

Rylet: Huh!?

Rylet: Are you mad Aiden!? She could have killed us!

Aiden: But she didn't! We understand how her powers work! We need to help her find out what this power is, what if we can learn it?

Monika: It would be helpful for you guys, let me show you what I can do. *She walks over to the sidewalk Aiden broke, she crouches next to it and puts her hand right in the middle of the crack webbing, she closes her eyes, she grunts before the fiery purple aura comes out of her hand and covers the sidewalk, repairing it* *she stands up, turns and smiles at Aiden* I can fix stuff! *Aiden and Rylet stare in amazement*

Rylet: So that's how you fixed Isaac's face. Unbelievable… Do you think there are more people like you out there?

Isaac: *laying on the ground with foam coming out of his mouth, gargling* I-is this real life…? W-what is life…? Am I d-dreaming…

Aiden: *Turns to Isaac fast* Ah shit, I think Isaac has lost his mind!

Rylet: We should probably get him out of here before he gets us in trouble.

Aiden: Agreed. *The boys pick him up* We will figure this out Monika. If we can figure it out, you can change the world. *The boys start walking Isaac out of the area* We will talk more later.

Monika: Okay! *She follows them*

May 5th Tuesday 7:00 A.M.

Location- Unknown Place In Texas

*There Is A Huge Science Lab, Around 5 Stories Tall. There Is An Underground Station, Inside Shows Two Scientists Working Near Pods Big Enough To Hold People In Them. Both Are Wearing White Lab Coats With Dark Blue Pants With 60s Black Leather Oxford Shoes*

Scientist 1: *Race- White, has messy blonde hair, Age- 51* *slams his right fist on a table him and the other scientist are sitting at* We cannot allow that to happen! *He stands up, Around 5'3* Think about all the lives you are putting at risk! All of them! Do you not understand the actions you have suggested?

Scientist 2: *Race- Japanese, has messy black hair as well, Age- 35* *His arms are crossed, he smiles as he pushes his hair back* You're such a dramatic little man Nakota. What are a few casualties to improving the world?

Nakota: *slams both hands on the table* Whaaaaat!?

Scientist 2: *he sighs before crossing his arms, closing his eyes and putting his head down, after a few seconds, he raises his head and smiles* Explain to me what's so bad then?

Nakota: *his eyes widen with his pupils small* Huuuuh!? *He grabs his head with both of his hands and closes his eyes, letting out a frustrated sigh* What do you mean!? You threatened to kill hundreds if not thousands of people for your plan! I get what you are trying to accomplish, but that is not what our research is about! We are here to learn about this so-called "Kura" of yours, to use it to move mankind to the next age! Not your silly little scheme Kokuna!

Kokuna: Do you not believe in awakening more people with Kura? Don't we also need fiends to continue our research? Fiends come from awakening one's Kura. Why not awaken more people? It will help us in the long run.

Nakota: You must really want the world to end! Do you really want Kura to end up in the wrong hands!? You and this stupid plan is nothing but a bunch of rubbish!

Kokuna: *loses smile and stares at him* You are soft Nakota… Nothing but a weak, pathetic, small man…

Nakota: That is enough out of you Kokuna! Now you shut that mouth and make sure your plans do not leave this room! You cause a scene with this plan, it is your head that is on the line! *He storms out of the room*

Kokuna: *lowers his head with his eyes closed and arms crossed, he sits there for a bit before uncrossing his arms and standing up, around 6'1* Old piece of shit… *starts walking over to one of the pods with a figure in it* He doesn't know a damn thing he's talking about. Our people need this more than he can ever imagine. *He wipes it to reveal a humanoid figure that is made up of purple light, it looks up, deforms it's face, opens its mouth with hundreds of teeth, two tongues and lets out a loud screech, He smiles at the creature* Maybe I should resort to the satellite for you, my creatures. Either way, you will be shown to the public, one way or another.

May 6th Wednesday 7:30 A.M.

*Aiden Walks Out Of His Apartment With His Bag In His Left Hand Over His Left Shoulder, As He Walks Out His Mother Throws His Lunch Money Bag At Him, You Can Hear His Mom Yelling At Him, Aiden Rolls His Eyes As He Is Closing The Door But Before He Can Close The Door, He Is Suddenly Struck With A Spoon She Threw*

Aiden: Mom, stop it! *He crouches and picks up the spoon with his right hand, stands up he points it at her* You don't have to hit me with your spoons everytime I mess up! I'm in highschool!

Aiden's Mom: *Japanese, Age- 34, Height- 5'7, Maroon hair in a ponytail, she's wearing white pants with a baby blue wool shirt* Oh boy you better start acting like it! *She snatches her spoon from him and pops him three times on the head in a rapid session, the first across the left side of his face, another across the right side of his face and the final hit is on top of his head* Go on! Before you're late and make me more mad!

Aiden: *he rubs the top of his head* Alright alright! *He jogs down the steps fast, Rylet is waiting for him at the bottom of the step* Sorry man. I kinda stayed up late looking into these superpowers Monika has and look what I found. *He pulls out his phone to show Rylet a news article, "Man Kills Everyone In Street Gang With 'Superman' Strength"* Do you think this is the same power? *They start walking out of the apartment complex*

Rylet: It's a stretch only because we don't know what these powers have to offer. Super strength sounds more like you.

Aiden: *he turns to a chibi with tears* Don't say that. I don't like being classified with these freaks.

Rylet: Well it's true. Maybe these are your people.

Aiden: *his chibi version starts crying* HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!

Rylet: *he turns to Aiden and raises his voice at him* Grow up! You know what I mean!

Aiden: *chuckles* Yeah yeah. I know. I just don't want to be known as a freak like them.

Rylet: Face it Aiden, you have this super strength that gives off the same vibe as Monika's healing power. If you're a freak then you're a freak. Don't let that stop you from being who you are.

Aiden: *Aiden looks down with thoughts going through his head before looking straight ahead with a smile* Yeah you are right. I shouldn't be ashamed or scared to be something that I am. If anything this is like finding more family members. These people are just like me who probably went through the same things as me.

Rylet: *smiles* That's the spirit. Never forget that.

Aiden: *he throws his right hand in the air and yells* I'm ugly and I'm proud!

Rylet: *he pulls his coat over his face with a blush* Can you stop that!?

Aiden: Why can't I be proud of it then?

Rylet: Maybe because you are ugly? *He grabs Aiden's right hand with his right hand and pulls it down*

Aiden: Jeez man, how could you hype me up but shut me down too… *he pulls his phone out again and shows Rylet as he pulls his coat away from his face* But I wasn't done with this article yet. Look. *He scrolls down on the article to show the details. "Man Under The Name Richard Deamhan Has Disappeared After Killing The Entire Local Street Gang Known As 'The Devil's Revenants. Witnesses Say Deamhan Stormed In Yelling Before Punching One Of The Gang Member's Head Off. Deamhan Preceded To Storm The Gang's Hideout By Himself. Gunshots Were Fired But Before The Witnesses Knew It, He Walked Out Uninjured And With The Head Of Their Leader, Lion Amadáin In Hand. But Before Authorities Could Show Up, A Black Male Showed Up And Had An Altercation With Deamhan. After The Altercation, The Black Male And Deamhan Left, Never To Be Seen Again. If Seen Anywhere, Please Run Away And Call The Authorities."*

Rylet: *Rylet stops walking, he starts to sweat from reading it* The Devil's Revenants are gone…?

Aiden: *stares at Rylet with a serious face, he nods* Yeah. Not a single one alive. *He puts his phone away* Wait, wasn't Lion your father's friend…?

Rylet: Yeah… He… He took my father in when he had nothing…

Aiden: *Aiden's eyes widen* Is your father okay!?

Rylet: *gets lost in his thoughts before closing his eyes and starts walking again* Who cares?

Aiden: Hey! *He light jogs to Rylet* Rylet wait! *He catches up on his right* Rylet! *Rylet ignores Aiden* *Aiden grabs Rylet's right arm with his right arm* Hey, talk to me!

Rylet: *pulls his arms away* Drop it Aiden!

Aiden: *shocked* Huh…? *He stands there staring at Rylet walk away*

Monika: *walks up to his right* Is he alright?

Aiden: I… I don't know… *suddenly he realizes, he jumps ahead and turns around to look at her* Wait! What the hell are you doing here!?

Monika: Oh! I live in the same apartment complex! *Points to it with her left thumb over her shoulder*

Aiden: *blinks twice before sighing with his eyes closed* Jesus, I can't escape you huh?

Monika: *pouts* Jeez, I said I was sorry.

Aiden: Sorry sorry! I'm just not ready for my life to get weird. *He turns and starts walking to Rylet* But first I have to make this right with Rylet.

Monika: *speed walks behind him* What happened?

Aiden: Touchy subject. It was my fault, but I'm going to make it right.
