Trey: Sup Micheal, hey A.K.
Alma: Stop calling me that!
Trey: Why not? It's your initials.
Alma: My name is Alma Keade Garcia!
Trey: A.K.A., A.K.
Micheal: Any sign of your sister yet, Alma?
Alma: ......No, not yet. But I'm still looking
Trey: You have a sister??
Alma: *Exasperated sigh* For the thousandth time Trey...yes.
Trey: And...what was her name again?
Alma: Let's just drop the subject.
Micheal: Have your powers come yet?
Trey: She doesn't have any powers Micheal.
Micheal: Well, she has the birthmark.
Trey: True, but she can't move at mach speeds, or have slightly inhuman strength.
Alma: I am 14 and I still don't have any powers, but that doesn't mean-.
Trey: Have you even met your collaborator?
Alma: No...I don't have one.
Trey: Therefore...no powers.
Micheal: It could be dormant.
Trey: Yeah, yeah you think you're so smart.
Micheal: *Grins* I am
Trey: ....Shut up.
Alma: You two are weird.

(They arrive downtown and other people start to make room as well as avoid them.)

Alma: why do regular humans fear you guys so much?
Trey: Who cares?
Micheal: It's the weakness in their hearts.
Alma: But you're just like them.
Trey: I wouldn't say that. Screw the norms. They could all suck it.
Alma: Hey! I'm one of those norms! And so are your parents.
Trey: And yet the human masses segregated you and our families along with us.
Alma: It's so sad. They create separate facilities for you guys.
Trey: Sad? We get our own buildings. That cuts customers down 90%.
Alma: You like this segregation?
Trey: I can't say that...but it is what it is.

(As they enter a mall, they pass a sleeping person. Trey stops for a moment next to them.)

Alma: What is it?

(The person was hooded and his face could not be seen)

Trey: Heh, it's nothing

(They enter the mall. In a completely separate state, a man of a supernatural origin, much like Trey, is being pursued by a woman unknown to him. The woman finally chases him down and corners him.)

Man: Wait! Wait!
?: I'm sorry, but youre a plague to society.
Man: A plague? How?
?: You people...plague our world.
Man: But...I don't understand. You're one of us!
?: It will be my time soon enough, but for now, I will rid everyone else like us.

(The woman conjures water from the moisture in the air. She steps forward at mach 1 to the man and places her hand over his chest and fills the man's lungs with water, drowning him.Back over at the mall, Trey and the others walk out of the mall. Micheal bought machine parts while Alma had bought clothes. Trey decided to buy nothing as he was disinterested in the trip.)

Trey: Typical girl, buying clothes.
Alma: Shut up!

(Alma punches Trey in the face multiple times at high speeds. Trey, slightly affected by the punches groans.)

Trey: That's also why I call you A.K.

(Suddenly, Trey ducks his head as a double edged katana whizzes over him.)

Alma: What the-!?

(Micheal pulls Alma back as the hooded person reveals itself.)

Trey: So, you're back.
Micheal: You know him?
Trey: Of course. His name is Zellos.

(Zellos removes his hood. He was light skinned and tall. His hair was black and shoulder length. His birthmark is in the shape of a full moon on the side of his neck. He spoke very monotone and seemed tired at all times. Usually disinterested in the events around him. Unless for...certain causes.)

Zellos: Are you ready to die?
Trey: I knew it was yo lazy behind sleeping in front of the mall.
Alma: What's Zellos' deal?
Micheal: Well...

-------------------------------------

(Flash back to a preschool in a segregated school system.)

Zellos: Mmm, time to eat this pudding cup.
Trey: Nope.

(The pudding cup disappeared. Trey returned over to Zellos with pudding on his face. Zellos growled in anger.)

------------------------------------

(Back to the present.)

Trey: I can't believe you're still sour about that.
Zellos: It was chocolate.
Trey: Hahaha that is just petty. But if you want to fight, again, you know I will be more than happy to oblige.

(Trey draws his knife. In a burst of flame it forms into a 6 in wide 4 ft long broadsword that is black in color with an orange colored edge.)

Micheal: You're going to fight here...in public...?
Trey: Why not? It's gonna be fun!

(Trey slams his sword onto the ground and a tall wave of flame in a V-shape rushes toward Zellos. Zellos scoffs and slashes the wave in half. He then realizes Trey used the opportunity to move in closer using mach speed.)

Zellos: Only mach one? What a joke.

(Zellos takes a step and two consecutive sonic booms erupt.)

Trey: Mach two?? Dang.

(Zellos appears behind Trey as mist starts to fill the area.)

Zellos: Abisu Tenshi: Crescent moon.

(Zellos vanishes in the mist.)

Trey: Not gonna work!

(Trey's eyes begin to glow as his vision turns to thermal.)

Trey: I'll find you using your own body heat- wait what!?

(Trey sees multiple bodies of heat through the mist.)

Zellos: The power of crescent moon can shape any illusion. Thermal vision can be easily tricked...

(Zellos then appears next to Trey.)

Zellos: And can make you see multiple bodies of heat...Abisu Tenshi: Half moon.

(Zellos then raises his sword above his head.)
