Anyways, onto the story...

I have no idea what time it is, but I know that I should be sleeping right now, but I have to write down notes for Algebra. After I got tired of working on that hell spawn of a school subject, I decided to mess around with this weird looking toy gun that Mom had before she passed. I have no idea what this is because I searched the whole internet for something like this, but it doesn't appear on any of the sights. I paused what I was doing, hoping that I would hear something that will give the excuse to note do my homework assignment. And soon enough, I heard a pencil drop from the other side of the wall, Mateo and Izzie's room. Mateo must've been drawing again and fell asleep. I scoot out of my chair, and walked to their room as quietly as possible so I couldn't wake them up.

As I gotten closer, I heard a bit of electricity? 'That can't be right' I thought to myself as I slowly open the door and saw this hooded figure, with two bandaged horns, but one of them was broken, and pull the covers closer to Mateo, ensuring that he would stay asleep. Probably.

"Who are you?!" I asked in a hushed tone. "Me? Who are you?" He asked back, taking out what seems to be an hourglass. He also had eyes with red sclera, iris's that glowed a bright yellow, and had no pupil. "Okay, first of all, I asked you first; and second of all, you have weird arrow lodged in your shoulder." I pointed out, pointing to the arrow, that had purple electricity emitting from it, sticking in his shoulder.

He quietly winced in pain, reaching his free hand over to his right shoulder. Then, that arm had this black stuff start to corrupt his arm. "Holy, shit!" I whispered, covering my mouth in shock, not knowing what is happening. "Take this!" He said, tossing me the hourglass once his entire right arm was covered in whatever that was. "What am I supposed to do with this?!" I whispered-shouted when it landed in my hand. Then the corrupted arm tried to grab the hourglass from me.

We danced around as his arm tried to take the hourglass while the both of us were trying to keep that from happening. After a small while, I was leaning backwards, the hand with the hourglass just barely out the open window, and the other was holding the corrupt hand of the stranger back, and his free hand was on the window frame, trying to push himself away as he leaned over you. "Use the Adison Ray." He said. "The what-e-son?" I questioned. "The gun you have on your hip. Use it! It will stop the corruption!" He informed.

I kicked him away and instantly took the thing-a-ma-jig Ray as I saw that the corruption has spread to his right waist and half-way around his neck. I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger. I didn't feel, nor hear anything; concluding that everything was okay, I opened my eyes, and none of his body parts were corrupted anymore.

"Thank you, ma'am. Now- wait, where's the hourglass?" He asked. I looked down at my hands to realize that I didn't have the hourglass. "Uh... Whoops." I said, quickly running over towards the window, and the stranger following behind to see that it was on a dumpster lid. "Don't worry, I got this!" I said, pointing the ray gun at the hourglass. "Wai- Wha- Why?! What are you doing?" He asked, shocked and confused. "Sometimes, an idea that seems to be so dumb will be a good idea." I said, and then I fired. And it just made it worse; when it hit the hourglass, it made the hourglass ricochet off, bounced on the apartment buildings, hit a trash can, and when it hit the ground, it released a shockwave.
