I walk along the sidewalk on Saturday night. I put the hood up on my black hoodie and shove my hands in my pockets. I walk silently, the only noise being my shoes hitting the pavement. I see a figure up ahead standing directly under a streetlight. I continue walking assuming that this person is harmless, and if they aren't, well, they better hope that I don't feel completely merciless tonight. I get close enough to the streetlight to see that Samael is the one standing there. Wait, where's Kyden? I turn around swiftly only to be hit with a blue fireball. I stumble backward and Samael catches me. He holds me there. Kyden walks up to me, his snake eyes glowing blue. He smirks at me. "Goodnight, brother," He says conjuring a fireball.

My whole life just changed in one day. I was kidnapped by a scientist gone rogue. Experimented on with nanotechnology that could change the world as we know it. Not everyone survived these experiments. My system rejected the nano treatment, and whenever this happened, the patient died. Somehow I survived. Now I have to find a way to save my friend and several others that were taken with me. Things change when a new organization with intentions of taking all the power arises. I find that I have to work together with someone I thought was the enemy to save everybody. I learn the hard way that you can't save them all. My name is Shaun McGee and this is my story.

"You're staying here, Xander!" my mother shouts. "I'm eighteen now you can't keep me here any longer!" I roar at her conjuring an energy ball. "Xander, you wouldn't," my mother whispers scared. "Try me," I say menacingly.
