Shallow: About sixteen years ago, it was a great battle between good and evil, during the final attack the blast grew exponentially and fused the two together. They were not happy about this and decided to come up with a plan in order to break apart from each other. When they finally came up with creating a powerful being they had no idea how much power they had put into it in the first place, and that's how I was made. I was a being made of unlimited power, so much power, that my when my creators split apart they tried to destroy me. They could not defeat me but I didn't want to hurt them so I created a portal and escaped to earth. When I made it to earth, I split my being into two parts. One part was good and the other part was evil. However, when the energy split they were unstable, so as they were traveling, small shards of energy started to fall off and entered people's bodies, but me, being the main energy, looked for a host of pure heart. Then my good energy ended up finding you, and part of it found Alexis. It was the only way to keep myself hidden from my creators. So now, you have to defeat my other half, so that I can never become whole again.

Henry: So what does that mean exactly?

Shallow: It means that there are people out there, with powers like yours, that will either help you, or try to kill you.

Henry: Oh.

Alexis: Wait, what?

Henry: Are you ok Alexis?

Alexis: Does it look like i'm ok?

Shallow: Well there's that, and the government is trying to kill you.

Alexis: ok, so what, am I just gonna have to run for the rest of my life.

Henry: Alexis, calm down.

Alexis: How can I!

Henry: Because you don't have a choice! The only thing that you can do now, is live. So now, I'm gonna make a promise to you. So, I promise to protect you no matter what.

Alexis: Henry.

Henry: I may be weak on my own, but, I'm strong with my friends. Alexis, will you be my friend?

Alexis: Uh, yeah.

Henry: Then it's settled, Shallow.

Shallow: Yeah.

Henry: Where can we go to get some training?

Shallow: Hm, there is an eastern monk temple in japan, find a man named Shinsetsuna Kokoro. I sense my energy in him, so just ask him about me, and he should help you. Hm, that's strange.

Henry: What, what is it?

Shallow: I sense another presence of my energy, and it's a girl.

Henry: I think that it's better if we find out who she is ourselves.

Shallow: If you say so.

Henry: Alena, Shallow.

Alena: Yes.

Shallow: Yeah.

Henry: Thank you.

Shallow and Alena: Right.

Henry: Lets get out of here.

Alexis: Ok.

We opened our eyes and we were back in my living room.

Henry: We should get some rest, follow me.

Alexis: sure.

We walked to the back room where my bed was.

Henry: You'll sleep in here, I'm gonna go sleep on the couch.

As I turned away, I was grabbed by the end of my right sleeve.

Alexis: Wait! I...

Henry: Let me guess, you don't want to be left alone.

She nodded yes and I got a chair and sat in the room.

Henry: I'll stay here until you fall asleep, is that ok?

Alexis: um, I, yes.

Henry: Then it's settled, now please, get some sleep.

Alexis got in the bed and I sat there ready to defend her from anything.
