Above these clouds, I thought things would be different. I assumed it would be filled with vicious  people, filled with ruthless war, ruled by a tyrannical man that wished only death to middle earth. I have found no such things up here, only a peaceful civilization that seems to thrive independently. Its strange, all these people don't know why their city is so foggy, nor do they know how far they are in the sky. 

Whatever the case, I continued my flight around Airun. Soaring past buildings as I heard a strange ringing in my ear, I suddenly heard someone over comms.

"Dan!"

I quickly spun mid air, arming my defenders... but there was no one there. I stalled in the air, looking around. There was no one, this voice was awfully familiar.

"Dan it's me! Lilly! I uploaded myself into your wrist thing!"

"You did what?"

"That's what I did when I said that "through me" whatever, did the others not give you some sort of ability whenever they did that?"

I thought, when Nemesis appeared to me, I survived that explosion. When my other self appeared to me, I could control fire.

"T-they did..."

"Yeah try me out! Just look at something and tell me to analyze it!"

I looked around, looking at the dome shaped building I crashed the roof of.

"Tell me about that then."

"Hmmm... well... ah! This building is called the "House Lunar". It's apparently a window into a world where laws and its people have fallen apart. It's a simulation to the people up here, but as you know it's really just a big screen that comes from the moon over Middle earth. It's actually closed tomorrow because of repairs."

"Probably because of the roof, and I remember when Promise exploded she left a mark on the moon over Middle earth. That could be it too, for once I wish she's the only thing I need to worry about."

"Well, you should get a move on! Those buildings to the north should be The Erun Manufacturing Company! You can make it before dark."

I nodded to Lilly, who I imagined to be right beside me. I fired my jets, taking flight with a slight stall. Soaring through the air, I tested the limits of my speed. I went low to the ground, where the cloudy roads resided. I caused the smoke to clear, the small amount of citizens watched me blow past. Yknow what, might as well spread a message. I went onto my wrist and loaded up a couple of Promises songs I asked Brandon to put onto my wrist controller. Swiping on the screen, multiple small speakers clicked into place on my back. They began to blare Promises music, my jets screeching through the air as I gained elevation. I was nearing the spire that was the EMC Tower. I smiled, looking at the array of buildings. Surrounding the tall tower were 5 smaller towers all connected with each other like a circled star. Starting to circle the array of stoic towers from a high elevation, a voice came over my comms.

"Unregistered Pilot, you are ordered to land on landing pad C immediately."

I looked around, the lights on one of the 5 landing pads placed on every tower started to flash red, signaling me. I quickly cut my engines and lost elevation, now seeing a crowed beginning to form on the strip leading to the pad. I fired my engines again, now slowing myself as I landed on a knee with a loud clang. I stood, my wings folding into my pack as I cut my music. I kept my identity hidden, my scarf, mask, and goggles concealed me. Multiple armored men marched out, 6 of them. They walked in unison before splitting into two to make way for a commanding officer. Walking forward now, was a familiar face.
