*Classmates are running down the halls screaming and bumping into each other, they run through the courtyard, some tripping and getting stepped on, the fire from the fire truck crashing into the school spreads*

Aiden: *he talks in his head as he runs down the hallway* I have to meet up with the class before it's too late! *As he turns to the right down the hall, he hears a loud explosion behind him, behind him is the library, the doors have windows, he turns to the library and sees through the windows, library walls were destroyed, as the smoke clears, the humanoid lights run in* Shit-!! *He runs to the library quickly, he sees a girl get picked up by a green humanoid light, it's around 8 feet tall, as soon as he opens the door, it makes its mouth big and bites her head off, his pupils shrink as he watches it eat her head, the monster throws her body through a window and turns to him, it sniffs at Aiden before screaming and running at him, it opens its mouth for a bite but the second it almost bites him, Aiden punches it with his right fidt, sending it flying back into a bookshelf, Aiden grits his teeth and growls* I don't know what you are, or coming from, but I'm sick of it. *The monster rolls around before standing up* I'm sure you things are linked to the powers as well. *He gets into an orthodox boxing stance, his right hand back with his left hand forward* Either way. *His pupils shrink like he is hyper focused* I'm going to find out what you are and save all of you from these monsters. *The green monster hisses as it runs at him, Aiden gritting his teeth before dashing at high speeds, leaving a crack in the floor, the monster opens his mouth and shoots his tongue out, Aiden dodges to the right, the tongue hits the floor making a whip sound on impact, Aiden quickly grabs the tongue with his left hand and pulls it towards him, making the monster fall towards him, Aiden pulls back his right fist and puts most of his strength into it and punches the monster out the building, before the monster can get up, Aiden runs, jumps and does a downward punch with his right fist on the monster's chest, making a crater around them, Aiden jumps off of him but before he can do anything, the monster sits up fast and shoots it's tongue out, hitting him on the chest, ripping his shirt, Aiden doesn't flinch, he runs at the monster, jumps up and punches it across the face with his left fist, mid punch, the monster punches him in the chest with it's left hand, Aiden's pupils shrink, he coughs up blood before flying into the school, he crashes into a bookshelf, he grunts as he holds his stomach, he stands up but as he does, multiple light monsters surround him* I-I really got myself into some trouble… *he sees kids outside the library getting ripped apart, he growls* Dammit… I can't just sit here and watch… *he takes a step forward with his left leg, stomping into the ground, making a crater* I'm making it home! *The monsters start to get close to him, they hiss and start smacking their lips* OUT OF MY WAY!! *he punches the ground with his right hand, sending a tsunami of rocks forward, knocking over the monsters, he runs through them, he runs for the door but before he can get out of the building, a blue monster shoots it's tongue out and wraps it around his stomach* HUH!? NO WAY!! *The monster lifts him up around 15 feet in the air and throws him into a shelf, Aiden grunts as he lays in the shelf, he looks up at the monsters running up to him, he slowly stands up* ALRIGHT!! YOU ASKED FOR IT!! *he pulls back his right fist, his pupils shrink like he's hyper focused, his fist flickers purple, all the monsters look nervous almost instantly, he throws the punch with all his might, punching a yellow monster in the head, making it explode, the monster falls over, all the other monsters step back, the body starts spazzing violently before having a golden aura come out of the neck and fade into the sky. Aiden's pupils shake as he stares at the body, he then remembers how Chadwick was apart of the monster and how a gold aura left the monster, Aiden starts talking in his head* W-was that… a person…? *He looks at his fist, it's covered in golden liquid* D-did I just kill someone…? *He starts to breathe hard* *his mind races as he starts to panic* S-shit… *he stumbles back away from the body* W-why wasn't I thinking…? *The monsters stare at him, they aren't attacking or growling* What the hell is going on…? *Out of nowhere someone comes running in, they jump off a table and stab a white monster around 8 feet tall in the head, making it scream, the person jumps off and watches the monster wiggle around before falling onto a shelf, Aiden looks over to see it's Rylet, he's holding a broken wooden ruler, Aiden's eyes light up with disbelief* RYLET!?

Rylet: *he looks annoyed* Why am I, the one without powers, saving the one with them!?

Aiden: I had it under control!

Rylet: That's why you are surrounded right? *He sees a blue monster sneaking up on Aiden, he throws the ruler and headshots the blue monster in the head, killing it* It's up to you now! Get it together!! *He runs away*

Aiden: *he quickly looks at Rylet with a worried face as he gets surrounded* But they are-!!

Rylet: Do you want to live!? *He grabs a chair and flips it over* It's now or never Aiden!! *He rips a leg off the chair* Whatever you are doing, you better stop thinking and fight!!

Aiden: *Aiden stares at a brown monster, he looks too nervous to kill it, it suddenly tackles him and has him pinned to the ground, Aiden slowly pushes it back and looks at it, there is a face within the light, it's hard to see, before he can do anything, it starts talking*

Monster(Brown): *it sounds similar to Chadwick's monster but with different people* Y-your not my mother…? You weren't my mother the entire time…? *Aiden stares at it with a worried impression* H-how could you lie to me mom…? *It's mouth opens slowly but as it opens it's mouth, the mouth becomes huge, big enough to fit a car tire in, it tries to bite Aiden but he catches the sides of the mouth and slowly pushes it back*

Aiden: S-stop! I don't want to harm you! *He is puts his right foot on its chest and kicks the monster off of him* Please! You have to fight it! *It twitches before attacking him, swinging its arms at him, Aiden blocks the barrage of attacks, he grunts before grabbing it's arms* FIGHT THE MONST-*suddenly the monster upper cuts him in the jaw with it's right foot, sending him flying into another monster, it's the white monster, it has golden blood like liquid coming from it's head, it picks him up by the neck and holds him up*

Rylet: This idiot!! *He runs over with the chair leg, he pulls it back like if he is going to throw it, revealing he sharpen the chair leg into spear, he throws it at the white monster, hitting it in the eye, it shrieks before pulling it out and throwing it to the side, it slowly starts to squeeze Aiden's neck, a purple glow comes from the entrance, Rylet turns around to see Monika glowing, she looks like she seen a ghost, her pupils are small and shaking* M-monika-!! *She slowly starts to tear up as she sees Aiden's body limp in the choke hold, she gets flashbacks of Gary on the floor*

Monika: *everything starts to move in slow motion, she talks to herself* I was too late to save Aiden… But I promised I would save all the people I care about… even the ones I don't know anything about… Aiden has always looked out for me and made sure I was alright, even if I was being clingy or acting crazy like saying he was my boyfriend after 5 minutes of meeting… No matter what it was, he was always nice to me… the least I could have done was protect him… but I didn't… I couldn't even keep that one promise… *she tears up more but before she can start crying, it turns into anger* How could I…? *She clenches her fist* How could I fail at the one thing I promised…? *Her fiery aura gets bigger, the monster's start to back away from her*

Rylet: *he gets a sweat drop on his head* M-monika...?

Monika: *she talks in her head still as she growls* HOW COULD I BE SO WEAK…? *the ground under her cracks*

Rylet: W-what the hell!?

Monika: *she talks out loud* I'm so sorry Aiden… *tears go down her face before burning away into steam* I'M SORRY!!!!! *as she screams, a huge pulse of purple fire comes out of the center of her chest, spreading the fire all over the library, Rylet quickly avoids the wave of fire by running behind a bookshelf, the white monster holding Aiden tries to block the fire with his back but it's scorches it's back, it screams as it drops Aiden, the other monsters are struck by the fire, the monsters are screaming in pain, some run away as others try to put out the fire by rubbing themselves on the ground or on the wall* *once she opens her eyes she gets scared as she realizes her emotions caused her to light the entire library on fire* D-did I do this…?

Rylet: *Rylet quickly runs out of his hiding spot and tries to encourage* Aiden isn't dead but he will be if you don't use that fire now!!

Monika: I don't know how to control it!!

Rylet: *he thinks to himself quickly* T-try holding your hand out and shoot it out of your palm!! Like a superhero!!

Monika: How would I do that!?

Rylet: Maybe try sending your hatred to your hand!! Do you ever stare at something when you are mad, thinking you can blow it up with your mind!? Do that with your hand!!

Monika: *she tries it, she raises her right hand and puts her left hand on her right arm, after a few seconds she grits her teeth and sends a fire ball out of it, towards a group of monster, completely destroying them* *she is beyond excited* H-haha!! I DID IT!! *She starts jumping with excitement*

Rylet: *his eyes light up* Nice job! Do it some more! Mainly that white one!

Monika: *she aims her right arm and fires, once the fire ball makes contact, the monster screams but is barely affected, the monster slowly starts getting taller and taller, around 15 feet tall, it looks at Monika and runs at her* Huh-!?

Rylet: S-shit!! Run!! *Monika makes a run for it, running out of the library and down the hall* *Rylet runs over to Aiden* Hey man, wake up! *He lifts up Aiden onto his knee and pats his face a bit* Come on!! Monika needs you!! *He shakes him* Come on Aiden!!

Aiden: *he grunts before opening his eyes* I-i'm sorry…

Rylet: We don't have time for sorrys!! Monika just saved your life!! You need to help her!! *Aiden can barely get up* A guy like you should be moving and saving people!! *Rylet quickly grabs his chair leg spear and runs out* We don't have time!!

Aiden: *he breathes hard before slowly walking to them*

Rylet: *Rylet runs to Monika, seeing her run outside the courtyard, he runs outside after her and the monster* HEY!! *he throws the spear as hard as he can, it stabs the monster in the back, the monster yelp before turning around, it starts to runs at Rylet, Rylet runs back into the building* Shit!! *He starts to run up the steps, while he's halfway up the steps, the monster charges through the wall and hits the stairs, causing them to collapse from under him, his pupils shrink as he falls down, the monster is about to grab Rylet but Monika shoots a fireball at it's back, it growls as it turns to Monika, before she can do anything, the monster makes its left arm longer and back hands Monika into a wall, sending her through it and into a classroom, Aiden sees them getting hurt, he stares and can't help but be disappointed in himself*

Aiden: *he talks in his head* How could I let this happen…? Why couldn't I attack them…? If only I had listened to Rylet, they wouldn't be getting hurt… *he grits his teeth* I'm tired… of watching my loved ones get hurt! *The monster towers over Rylet, it slowly raises its right foot but before it can stomp on him, the back of his left leg bends forward, making it fall back, as it falls to the ground, suddenly Aiden runs from it's legs and catches it, it's so heavy he slowly starts to bend his knees, almost getting crushed but he growls before lifting it up, he screams as he throws the monster outside, the monster tries to get up but before it can, Aiden runs and jumps onto of it and punches it in its chest, making it spit golden liquid up and cracking the ground, Aiden jumps off of it, the monster tries to talk*

Monster(White): *it slowly sits up* Why would daddy die…? Daddy said he would be back home before I knew it… why would daddy lie-*suddenly Aiden jumps up and punches it across the face with his right first so hard he makes the monster roll*

Aiden: I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE HUMAN OR NOT!!! *He stares it down* I'M GOING TO PUT YOU DOWN!! *the monster growls then hisses as it runs at him, he runs at it as well, Aiden talks to himself in his head* It knew that I wouldn't kill it because it has a person in it… these things are intelligent… it learned that in a few minutes… *the monster tries to punch downwards on him with it's left fist but Aiden dodges it, Aiden quickly grabs its left leg and pulls it back, making it stumble forward, he quickly jumps and kicks it in the back with his left leg, making it fall over, Aiden lands and breathes hard, the monster falls down but as it stands up, Aiden runs to the front of the monster and punches it across the face with his left fist before upper cutting it with his right and following it up with an all out right punch to its face, the monster is sent flying into the school, Aiden starts to breathe even harder* I'm not doing anything to it!! He will just tire me out and kill me! *Without expecting it, the monster's arm stretches from the smoke and wraps around Aiden, Aiden grunts as it squeezes him, it lifts him up and slams him into the ground, making him scream in pain, it slams him again, making his pupils fade, then it throws him into a classroom on the second story, Aiden lays in a pile of desks as the monster walks over to the building, the monster slowly grows to around 20 feet tall so it can see Aiden on the second story but as it sticks its head in the room, Aiden runs out of the smoke and punches it across the face with his right fist* YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! *he lets out a lethal left kick, sending the monster falling down, Aiden pulls back his right fist and goes for a heavy punch onto its face again as he falls, before Aiden can fall down and punch it, it quickly kicks its left leg up and kicks Aiden in the sky, Aiden grunts as he is sent flying an additional 20 feet into the sky, Aiden screams as he lands on the roof, falling through it into a classroom, he lays there completely exhausted, he grunts as he tries to stand up but can't, he crawls towards the window, he uses the window seal to help him up and looks outside of it, he sees the monster is heading towards him, Aiden feels useless before remembering his mom's words, "You better come back home. *She stands there quiet for a little before talking quietly* I don't want you dying on me, but I want you happy." Aiden is filled with determination, he slowly stands up, he opens the window and jumps out, landing completely fine even though it was a two story building* YOU WANNA TO FIGHT SOMEONE!? *he growls as he gets into his orthodox boxer stance* COME AND FIGHT ME!! LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE OUT OF IT!! *The monster is walking towards him, it suddenly gets hit with a heavy black ball of energy from it's right, causing it to fall over to its left into the school* H-huh…?

???: I will give it to you, kid! That's one hell of a stand! But I hope you don't mind me saving you from your final! *The voice comes from behind Aiden, Aiden turns to see that it's Marley with his hands in his pockets*

Aiden: W-who are you…? How did you do that? How did you also shoot him from the right and end up behind me-!?

Marley: So many questions, such little time! How about I get this one off your back and then we can talk?

Aiden: Um… *slowly dropping his stance* sure…

Marley: *he walks pass Aiden, patting his right shoulder* Alright fiend! show yourself so we can make this quick!

Aiden: Fiend…?

Marley: *the monster lunges at Marley from the smoke cloud caused by it crashing into the school but before it can do anything, Marley quickly jumps up and taps it's temple with his left hand, making it explode with a black aura, he lands and puts his hand back in his pocket* Easy as one two three! *Aiden stares in amazement* Now then! *He turns and looks at Aiden* Why do you have mabiki in your system but you didn't use it on the fiend? *Aiden looks confused but before he can answer, Marley continues* Well, I wouldn't say in your system, this type of mabiki feels new to me… I'm not sure what you are kid but I like it!

Aiden: *Aiden is very confused* I have so many questions…

Marley: And I can probably answer them all! Where do we start?

Aiden: W-with helping my friends… *as he points in there direction*

Marley: Oh you have friends? Are they alive?

Aiden: Why does that feel like an insult?

Marley: I don't know, why does it feel like an insult to you? You don't have friends?

Aiden: Hey, come on!

Marley: *makes a cringe face* Sorry for the touchy talk, let's go to them right now! But are they seriously alive? This place looks messed up, I would love for you to tell me what happened here!

Aiden: After we saved my friends.

Marley: *smiles* Someone trusts me pretty fast!

Aiden: After stopping a monster like that? You know something that I don't.

Marley: *chuckles* You are right about that! *They walk to Rylet and Monika*
