The sound of music filled Y/n's ears as she walked through the streets. It was a fairly warm day and there was no rain in the weather forecast so she didn't feel the need to wear a coat. The streets were fairly quiet, especially for the time of day, It was rush hour after all so to see the streets looking somewhat dead felt a little strange. there was the odd car on the road, but they all looked like they were driving away from something considering the fact that they were all driving in the same direction.

In fact, Y/n was the only person walking in the direction she was. Everyone else looked to be walking away from something. Y/n took a moment to pause and look up from her phone. wait. they were running away from something. Why did it take her so long to realise? was she really that oblivious to her surroundings?

She took a moment to look around in confusion, furrowing her brow while trying to figure out what everyone was so scared of. Suddenly her phone began ringing in her hand, she unplugged her headphones and hung them around her neck before answering the call.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Y/n! Where are you right now?" the voice bellowed through the phone, it was her Mom and she sounded beyond panicked.

Y/n's face became even more confused. "I'm walking home! what's going on? why is everyone freaking out?" she asked.

"There's a villain attacking someone downtown! Get your ass home as soon as you can, I mean it Y/n. No funny business." Sora said, her tone firm and assertive.

"Yeah.. yeah okay. I'll be home soon."

Y/n ended the call and continued walking in the direction she was before, she could have taken the longer route but her mom said to be home ASAP, so what was the harm in carrying on going the way she was before? Y/n kept trying to justify her decision to walk in the direction everyone was running from but deep down she knew it was because she wanted to see what was going on with her own eyes.

After a few more minutes of walking she heard a particularly loud explosion, out of curiosity she rushed towards the sound only to be met with a crowd of people gathering round an alleyway. She took a few steps back and observed the scene with a dumbfounded look.

A huge sewage-green monster that seemed to be made entirely from a sludge-type fluid towered over everyone, it looked to be engulfing someone within its slime-filled body. The person being attacked was fighting back, and they were fighting back with all their strength. A multitude of explosions came from their hands as they clawed and scratched at the villain for dear life.

The explosions caused a plethora of fire to engulf the area, it was scattered everywhere.

Y/n gulped, fear coated her face in a disgusting display of horror. Her jaw fell slack and tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Her mouth and throat became dry and it felt like her lungs were filling with smoke and ash. She could feel the heat of the fire beating against her face, burning away at her skin. She wondered if anyone else could feel it since they were standing so much closer than her, why weren't they running? Couldn't they feel the way the fire was about to singe their skin?

At this very moment, it wasn't the villain she was scared of, it was the fire. The pure, angry and raging fire that burned away with pure hatred. It was born out of anger and fear, Y/n could feel as the fire burned away at everything it touched, it was born to destroy anything in its path. The way it made her bones and hands tingle was a clear sign. She felt connected to it in some weird way.
