I remember the drive that we had to take
Remember the miles that made my heart shake
I remember the feel of loss in the air
Remember the sight of you everywhere
Insanity killed me and I never let it go
No I never let it go

Like you, nothings forever
Like you, somethings just die
Like you, I am no better
Like you, we wait and see because

Like me, the struggle is real
The struggle is real
The struggle is real
Like me, the struggle is real
The struggle is real
The struggle is real
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Like me, like me, like me
The struggle is real
The struggle is real
The struggle is real
Like me
Like me, like me, like me

(The Struggle-Blacklite District)

Moto walked to Taiyo's family. He was nervous to give them the news, even though he knew they wouldn't remember Taiyo.

Moto knocked on their house door.

"Knock knock Moto Moto is here." He tried to smile.

Taiyo's dad opened the door.

"Hey there Mr. Rīdā. Everything good?" Mr. Kenshi said.

"Um about that...you may not remember but..." Moto was cut off.

"Moto!" A little girl ran up to him. "Where is Taiyo?" She asked.

"Oh no." Moto put his hand on her shoulder and looked directly at her. "You just had a massive burden out on your shoulders little one."

"What?" She looked a little scared.

"Moto what are you talking about. Where is Taiyo?" Mr. Kenshi said sternly.

"How?!" Moto was stunned Mr. Kenshi remembered.

"What do you mean "how"? WHERE IS MY SON?!" He yelled.

"O-on a mission sir." Moto sweatdropped.

"When will he be back?" Taiyo's sister asked.

"We're not sure. This is a new kind of mission so...he won't be back soon." Moto said.

"We understand." Mr. Kenshi said. "Let's go in little one."

"Yes daddy." They both walked in.

"Kanata!" Moto quickly ran to Kanata.

"What is Moto? Where's the fire?" Kanata asked.

"He's alive! Taiyo is alive!" Moto said smiling.

"How do you know for sure?"

"His family remembers him." Moto pointed in the direction he came from

"Taiyo fell to the earth. He is powerful but I don't think even he could take on all those devil beetles on his own." Kanata said.

"But he's alive. We should help him!" Moto shouted.

"We can't help him. We won't be able to get down there. He's as good as dead already."

"You're right." Moto walked away.

—————

Taiyo was leaning against a small rock trying to stay hidden.

"There is almost nowhere to hide with so many devil beetles." He looked around.

Devil beetles were everywhere. Taiyo counted 1 trillion and counting.

Is this how I die? Down here, eaten by these insects. I'll be forgotten...memento mori. Taiyo thought.

Devil beetles crawled towards Taiyo.

"Here we go." He flew into the air. "Exitium!" He shot as a large group of devil beetles.

Three chimera took flight in the sky and all got ready to fire.

Taiyo closed his eyes and held his katana up. Fire and ashes were circling him. He opened his eyes as they burned with a deep orange.

"Internitionem!!" He yelled as loud as he could and torched the entire area, he also destroyed the three chimera. Taiyo was breathing heavily as he went back to normal.

Behind him a chimera rose from the ashes and charged up a shot. Taiyo turned around.

"Oh...come...on." He said between breathes.

The chimera shot at Taiyo.

Goodbye team. Goodbye sister, father, friends. Goodbye Gale Whitale...you made the best steak. The beam was shot.

Taiyo brought his sword up trying to split the beam and send it in opposite directions.

"I WILL NOT DIE HERE!!" He flew to the chimera and went straight through it as the chimera exploded.

Six years later...

Taiyo looked up towards the sky. His clothes were torn apart. Dry blood was matted in his hair and blood came down his arm.

"I'm coming home." He said as he limped to a group of devil beetles getting ready for flight.

He secretly hopped onto one as they all took off into the air. Taiyo hanged on as Mistgun came into view.

Home. Taiyo smiled.

A couple of sky wizards came into view. Taiyo recognized them as Chloe and Lloyd.

I better let hem know I'm here. Taiyo jumped off the devil beetle he was riding and barely floated in the air.

"Exitium!!" He shot with his remaining magic at the group of beetles as he started to fall again.

Lloyd and Chloe both caught Taiyo.

"Hey guys." Taiyo coughed. "Did you miss me." Taiyo slowly closed his eyes as Lloyd and Chloe flew home to the infirmary and other sky wizards came to fight the devil beetles.

Hey
I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
Hey
I don't wanna miss you everyday
I don't wanna watch you fade away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling
I cannot know that you're falling

I don't wanna know that you're not here
It doesn't feel right without you near
I know it'll traumatize me
Terrify me, horrify me
I don't wanna lay awake at night
Full of regret, hanging on too tight
I know it'll traumatize me
Terrify me, horrify me

Hey, won't you wait for me?
Hey, won't you stay?

Hey
I don't wanna watch you slip away
I don't wanna watch you go away
I don't wanna know that you're falling
