Chapter One, (1)
In the last few days since the dream of the three heroes, Zan began see worry amongst themselves. The only time they were not worried, was when they began to feel reconnected with the world outside. The world outside Zan's home.
This is not their home anymore. They were amongst the foulest city dwellers of all. It happened over night. The once superb neighborhood became frequentedness and anti-solitude.
There were many punks out there. Too many to count. Some living next door to the location of the heroes.
Zan, Blaze, Axel, and Skate kept quiet, for fear they would be discovered in the heat of the chaos around them. No person could escape the law, correct? Then, why were there so many criminals on the rebound in their takeover of the city?
Of course, the other rationale was this: The Syndicate had control of the police force. This meant, in hindsight, the police force may, or may never, have been in control of anyone and anything. It must have always been the Syndicate who were in control of everything. Even, if this meant outing themselves as the leader of society.

Chapter Two, ( 2)
Zan, Blaze, Axel, and Skate, each dressed covertly, with their original, physical-warping armors, left Zan's, once-filled-with-life, home, in the seed of the night. The moon, completely filled, beamed with brilliance upon the city of the once respected city. The landscape dim-lit and dangerous, yet there was hope: the heroes.
Their armor was once something heroic, though, this night, they went punk. Their armor, beamed graffiti, yet they looked like they were also not from their own part of town; out-of-towners were not welcomed in the city. They met many glares, yet started a fight anyway.
Blaze, with infinite strength, caused an eruption of psycho power. The punks nearby, within feet of her fell to their demise. The streets, within a radius of five feet, littered with dozens of criminals, the only punks in town.
Then, in a flash, the aura of her own energy flashed to life. A glazing hue. White with the type of flare only visible when staring at the sun; no true color except blindness. At the ends of the energy, trickling with electric-like residue, the light faded, into bluish sparks of lightning, ever so small, ever so thin, ever so bright.
Blaze felt a sense of completeness, as those who took the city she lived in, never knew what was waiting. Her own type of skill left her alone for a brief second, enough time to give herself hope that everything will be normal. She never let go of this feeling again.
Skate, never thought she would witness Blazes power, swaying ever so slightly, as her energy exploded all around her. Blazes own type of technique caused Skate to turn around to see her, feeling oxygen trembling around her own body. A light emerging so bright from where Blaze stood. The instant Skate saw Blaze, she smiled.
Skate decided to try her own power: This Is Not A Smile. There wasn't enough time left for Skate to try and begin a new tactic which required six seconds to complete. She left her Diameter Phone at Zan's home, wondering how many punks were searching for it, in a seconds notice; (The number of punks exceeded well over 111). Skate pressed a button located on her ring finger and, in no time at all, Zan's home exploded into fiery debris.

Chapter Three, (3)
Skate, in her new power, began to close her eyes. She perceived her own aura, locating the auras of others around her, and opened her eyes. Her glimpse led own her own style of view, making for a real visual change to those who saw her. She now had burning white eyeballs, exuding physical energy. Her own aura began to decimate the street on which the heroes were located. The heroes were spared.
Chaos reigned for a brief moment. Nothing stood still, yet everything did. Just for an entire moment.
In this moment, Skate walked through time without consequence. She led the heroes by shoulder to a safer location, away from her exploding energy. Once a block from Skate's original location, she let go of time and warped within herself. The heroes never saw her again.

When, in the end, Skate decided to leave, she left a note for every hero. She decided to never return. Her note read:
"Please, be warned, you are not going to die easily. I saw myself reappear in my dream. I am alive and well. Don't worry. I am safe and at complete tranquility. Please, shed no sorrowful tears. I will live here for eternity. I am loved. I am now home. Safe and sound. Goodbye."
Time reappeared, and the heroes were in a new position. No punk stood. To their surprise, Skate was nowhere to be seen.
The heroes knew what could have happened judging from the decimation of what was once a punk-riddened street. They had only one minute to fell for Skate's disappearance. They each collided with one another, holding each other closely, sobbing.
END BOOK TWO, (2).
