“So she just ran around in circles and a blue orb appeared?”Nick asked.

“Yes from my understanding, but it still takes great power to run as fast as she did, I couldn’t even see a blur, she was going faster than the speed of light.” The man said.

“Wait, what is your name? We were never formally introduced.” Nick said.

Almost immediately after Nick asked, the man’s face was drained of all it’s color.

“I won’t tell you, I can’t tell you.” The man said.

“If you don’t I will know I can’t trust you.” Nick said.

“What did I tell you,” The man paused. “NEVER trust anyone.”

After the man finished he lunged for Nick. Nick rolled backwards, as he rolled, he kicked the window smashing it in the process. He rolled out of the window, and that is when he realized his mistake. He was falling from the eighth story of the building, he hadn’t realized he was that high. Nick found his only chance at this point, he needed to use his armour, he tried using it but it only appeared in certain places on his body. It would not be enough to protect him Thanks to the armour Nick landed unharmed on his feet. Nick looked up at the window he had fallen from. He saw the man’s face poking out of the window.

“I will get you eventually” The man said.

“No, you will never even see me again, I am returning to earth.” Nick yelled back.

Nick turned around and used his power once more, his forearms started glowing blue, the red in between his black plating started glowing a dark red. He bent over and ran as fast as he could in circles just like the man had explained, he ran around and around as a blue orb started to form but it was forming slowly, he could still see after images of his blurs as he ran. So he ran even faster than he had ever thought he could, He started losing sight of the blur and then his armour started to glow brighter. The orb became full and started forming what looked like a blue doorway. Once it had completely formed, Nick stopped running, he took a second to admire this portal and then stepped through it. Nick felt his body tug in all different directions, as if he was being pulled everywhere at once. He looked around to see what looked like a deep blue wave of water circling all around him like a tube. At the end of the tube was a bright white light, in the bright light was an image of Maya crying over a coffin not as hard as she was when he first saw her but still crying. He ran towards the light as it got closer he could feel his power being strained. That longer he was in the multidimensional pass the harder it was to keep open. He was almost there but he was also pushing his limits, he was a few feet away when the strain on his power was overwhelming. He closed his eyes took a leap of faith into the light making through just before it closed. He opened his eyes into a pitch black area, he could here someone crying near him but it was muffled. He tried moving but found he was in a box, that is when it hit him. He had returned to his body and he was in the coffin, which meant Maya was the one crying. He put his hands on the top of the coffin and pushed opening the coffin. Light streamed into the coffin, Maya jumped back with a yelp, tears still streaming down her face only slower.

“N-N-N-Nick?” Maya asked stuttering.

Nick sat up from his coffin using his arm to prop himself up.

“Yeah I am back.” Nick said.

“But… I killed you.” Maya said in disbelief.

“Yeah I know. And I had a hard time getting back.” Nick said.

“From where?” Maya asked.

“The after lands.” Nick said.

“The what now?” Maya asked.

“The after lands, it’s where you go after you die.” Nick said.

“Oh cool, was it fun there.” Maya asked.

“You could say that.” Nick said rubbing his stomach.

“Well my question is, how did you get back?” Maya asked.

“I found that Alan is not our only problem.” Nick said. “Lilith the fallen angel, she goes by the name Meezan. She attacked me, and torchured me, I almost didn’t escape.”

“Well you did and that is all that matters, if you don’t want to talk about what happened in the after lands you don’t have to.” Maya said.

“I will eventually once I shake some of the feeling and memories of the torture.” Nick said.

“Ok you better get some rest, I will inform Sophia and Rose that you are back. Wait, you never answered my question, how did you get back?” Maya asked.

“I used my power to open a Dimensional rift and passed through it, on the way here I had to hold open the rift and it completely drained of energy and my power, your right I do need some rest.” Nick said.

Let’s get you back home.” Maya said.

“That would be good.” Nick said as he passed out in the coffin.

Nick woke up in his room. He got up and crossed to the door, when he opened it he saw Maya, Sophia, and Rose sparring in the main room. Nick figured he could take them all out if he really wanted to. Unless if Maya had time to set up her power as she did when she killed him. Nick ran behind Maya and tapped her on the shoulder she turned around and gave him a hug.

“I am so glad you’re back.” Maya said.

“I am too.” Nick said. “Can I join?”

“I don’t know we are a few weeks of training ahead of you.” Rose said.

“I could totally beat all of you.” Nick said.

“You wanna bet, how about all of us one on one you in the training room.” Rose said.

“You’re on.” Nick said challengingly.

They all walked over to the training room and Rose and Maya went up to the observation deck and sat down at the window.

“So your first?” Nick asked.

“Yeah I guess I am.” Sophia said.

“Let’s just make this fast, I don’t want to hold you guys up from any plans you have this afternoon.” Nick said.

“The only plans I have is to defeat you.” Sophia said.

“Oh this round is already over.” Nick said.

Sophia ran at Nick fists ready. When she got close enough she swung and Nick moved to the side at speeds you can’t see. She swung again at him and he dodged again with ease. Nick made his move, he ran behind Sophia, picked her up and ran her into the observation deck. He then ran back and no one saw him do anything all they knew is she disappeared from one spot and appeared in another to fast for the eye to see. Sophia gave up when she realized she was in observation deck. Rose soon entered the training room and got into position to fight.

“I am your next opponent.” Rose said.
