I was surprised at myself for being a ble to dream in this kind of situation, somehow i did, and i was flashed into my nightmare once again. I was back in the weird foggy place, this time the fog felt thicker and cold against my face, and the area seemed to be darker than usual. The wind blew, and once more the strange feeling of a presence came over me. I turned and saw a silhouette once more, the fog cleared revealing at long last whom it was, it was... mother?

Somewhere, in a different time and place...





A woman walks down the streets in Al-Graros, a city in the outskirts of the bustling metropolis Khalid-dil. She had frenzied hair, long to her knees, her dirtied face and broken smile hide the beauty she once had. The dim lights shrouded in the thick fog of night, provides even more cover to the once beautiful figure that used to be the craving of many men and women alike. She walks unsteadily down the lonely, dank streets, laughing randomly at anything and everything that stirs her fancy. Repeating to herself,"my son shall awaken... He shall awaken... Soon..."
Suddenly she sees the silhouette of a man, she straightens herself. Wiping her face with a clean part of her sleeve, her eyes begin to shine with new fire, as if something stirred deep within her. With a shrug her hair fell into place on her shoulders, straight, smooth and silky; once again showing her long hidden beauty. Removing the overall that hid her attractive feminine curves, revealing an intricately designed dress, and a gorgeous body that would turn the heads of men anywhere.

Turning around a corner in the foggy streets, a heavily cloaked man walks briskly through the all consuming mist. Suddenly, he stops dead in his tracks. He calls out to what seems to be emptiness ahead of him. An empty howl echoes from his throat, a signal only for the initiated. Up ahead, a silhouette of a lady assembles itself in the fog. "So, the time is now?", asks the cloaked man in an empty yet deep voice. "Yes, he shall awaken to the summons."The silhouette answers, not implying any emotions. The man then tips his hat and walks off into the night, leaving the lady to recover her beauty and disposition. Another silhouette appears not too long after the man walks off, this time the lady walks towards it. As she stands next to it, the fog momentarily clears between them, in a smooth voice she says, "Son, you're here. Awaken now by the command of the seer."

Turning around, I saw that a ball had hit Kasumi in the face and Curtis was helping her up. Jonah on the other hand was fuming, I could see the anger burning in his eyes as he stood up to his full stature. A deadly pose for most people, his full 183 meters of height dominate most people just by staring them down. Now he used that full height to loom over a pair of dark shirted people. One of them had a bal in his hand and the other had obviously thrown the ball. From this distance their long squiggly hair covered most of their faces, however it wasn't hard to recognise that these were just ordinary street thugs. For they had unkempt hair, jagged teeth, and reek of foul smelling sewer wastes. I started walking up the stands, and I saw Jonah telling Curtis something as he moved towards the pair that was sniggering.
In a flash, the two black shirted guys were in front of Jonah and about to hit him when i shouted, "Stop!", the two guys then turned to look at me, from here i could see their full height was only around 5 foot 5 inches, they had untidy long black hair, stubbles, and their faces were sunken though fair.
"What do you want with my friend?"I asked,"Nothing, we just want his girlfriends haha." the taller guy answered with a snigger. A flex in his muscular body just before he appeared right in my face told me that he used a teleporter, a glint in his belt confirmed that it was from my company.
"Get lost we've got no time for the like of you." I answered, backing off from the black shirted guy's bad breath. I looked up and saw Jonah lying on the bench. His assaulter was laying his hands on Kasumi and had his hands in Curtis's hair as well.
"Hey show some respect and look at the guy who's about to hit you will ya?" A sudden blow to my face knocked out my sense of balance, struggling to regain it I placed a hand on a nearby bench. I turned and looked at the guy in front of me, just as he sent another blow into my stomach. Pain rushed through my body from my face and my stomach, my vision became white with anger, my veins starting pulsating with adrenaline as my mind contemplated how to strike back.

Elsewhere,

"Hi Curtis, ready to go for basketball?"
"Hey Jonah, hey Kasumi. You bet I am, I'm all set and raring to go."
Curtis gets up Jonah's blue Cadillac. Jonah then puts pedal to the metal and a surge of adrenaline pumping acceleration his all 3 passengers in his Cadillac. It was a modified prototype model that his company was testing, packed with a turbo boosted 600 horsepower engine capable of 0-100 in undder 4.2 seconds. Running purely on electricity, it could burn up to 6 hours of road time at max speeds. Stop by any point with a 3 pin consumer plug and you could charge it up to full in a matter of hours. Straightening his body as the car enters constant velocity on the highway Jonah gets slapped by both Curtis and Kasumi.

"Hey what was that for?"Jonah grunted in protest,"Reckless driving," came the short, curt and synchronous reply. Laughing it off, Jonah turned up the stereos and continued the drive. Within minutes, they arrive at the ball park. turning around a few bends to arrive at the parking lot they spot a red dodge viper vsx-270's with a charger hooked on its base.

"Look who's here!! He's always so early, I wonder why he wants the new prototype engineput into his car. He's always earlier than we are even without it."
"Stop complaining Jon, you have to avoid all those people in the office that's why."Answers Kasumi. They get down to the court and see Raymond warming up.

Hearing familiar voices I stood up and saw Jonah, Curtis and Kasumi up in the stands. Beckoning them to come down and join me i pointed to my bag at a corner of the court. I did a couple more stretches and headed to the side of the court to pick a basketball. Just as i was reaching for a ball, I heard a "thunk" followed by a scream.
