Sevyon looked around and asscessed his surroundings. "Where the heck am I?" He asked himself. His vision was very blurry. He tried to stand up, but his legs were shaky and he fell back onto the ground. He sat and thought. "I just got pulled through that black stuff... Well, at least I'm not dead... I don't think..." As his vision began to clear, he caught sight of something more beautiful than anything he had ever seen. He was in a valley, but it was in the shape of a bowl. All around him were the biggest most magnificent mountains he had ever seen. The mountains were covered in forest. To his left there was a large body of water that glinted the beautiful bright warm sunlight. Then he noticed, it wasn't just warm. It was hot! Extremely hot. He looked back at the pool and something strange caught his eye. "Well I'll be darned..." The pool wasn't reflecting light from the sun, it was reflecting light from three suns! "Amazing! There is no way I'm still on earth!" He said out loud. He then noticed his throat was dry. "I need some water." He concluded. He tested the strength of his legs again. They were still shaky, but he could walk. He began to make his way towards the water.
Rangorax awoke. He felt strange. He looked at his body. "Madre de hijos!" He exclaimed. His legs were jointed together with screws! He felt his skin. It was no longer skin. It was plastic! Rangorax screamed. "I've been turned into some mutant frankenstein!"
"No you haven't" came a voice from behind him. Rangorax turned around. There was a cowboy standing there. He had a badge that said sheriff. Whoever it was, he was wrong.
"Yes I have!" Rangorax exclaimed.
"No you haven't" the cowboy said.
"Yes I HAVE!" Rangorax yelled. The cowboy began to get frustrated.
"No you haven't!" He shouted.
"Then what am I?" Rangorax yelled back yet again.
"You are a child's play thing!" The cowboy exclaimed. Rangorax looked over his body again. Realization set in.
"I'm... a toy..." He said as he passed out from shock.
Kerjov opened her eyes slowly, then shrieked. She was surrounded by various types of animals. She jumped up, and they all ran away. When they did, she noticed something strange. The animals were screaming with human voices, and they were all running on two feet. "Those arent' animals." She said to herself. "Those are little boys in animals costumes. She though abuot chasing them, but they were long gone, and she had no idea where she was. It could be a trap. They also had the homefield advantage on a chase.
Rain poured down on the stone street. A body lay there in the middle of the road. Anyone would have thought him to be dead. Yet, his body stirred. His eyes opened. He became aware of his drenched clothes and body. His arms lifted up his body and he stood. He searched his thoughts. He remembered nothing. He had no recolection of anything prior to then. He didnt' even know his name. he did not feel scared or sad though. Oddly enough, he didn't feel anything. He couldn't. He took in his situation. He was in a large city. All the lights were off. It must have been late. He didn't know what to do or where to go. He suddenly became aware of something else. He could sense an enourmous power somewhere nearby. Where was it coming from? He honed in his senses and suddenly realized. "I have this great power!" As hard as the man tried though, he couldn't seem to tap into this great power. "I must find somewhere secluded to teach myself to use my power." He began running through the city. He could see one ominous mountain rising above all the buildings in the city. He concluded that was where he would discover his power.
Two men dressed in red robes walked along the forest. The two men were discussing a dream they had both shared. In the dream, they had been commanded by the Surpreme One to take care of one who He would direct them to. It had been a strange week for the two men. First, their home had been destroyed by some type of strange black creature, and now they were trying to follow a direct command from the Surpreme One. Since they had nowhere to live, they decided to just make their way through the mountains into the Great Bowl, wihch was a very secluded pool where followers of the Surpreme One often went to pray. They figured that through fervant prayer, the Surpreme one would show them the boy. It would be much easier than that.
"Look!" One of the men said. They had reached a clearing in the trees of the forest and they could see the Great Bowl. There was a young man drinking from it. A mile north up, on another mountain directly oppisite the two men, they could see a large horde of the black creatures marching towards the Great Bowl. The Surpreme One had apparently made the job of finding the boy easy enough. Now they had to protect him.

Chapter 5
The creatures surrounded the small band of humans. All looked hopeless. Thankfully for them, looks can be deceiving. There was a loud sound that seemed to come from everywhere at once. The sound is hard to describe, though it can be done best by saying that it sounded like the largest door in the world opening. Both the army of monsters and the small posse of humans looked around to see where it came from. They all saw it at once. The sight that lay before there eyes was unlike anything any of the humans had seen before, however, the monsters had seen it many times, and it seemed to trigger something in them. The antennae on the black ant things began wiggling even more wildly. The flying creatures beat their wings and flew faster. No longer did the monsters seem to care about the humans though. Their focus was on the new sight. Something had appeared in the sky.
“Well I’ll be…” Johan said. “THAT IS TOTALLY WICKED!”
“What in the world?” Mommy said. All of them had their heads cocked back and were looking at the new sight. It appeared to be exactly what the sound they heard had been like. It was almost as if the largest door in the entire world had been opened up in the sky. Inside the door, a plasma like substance seemed to swirl. The substance changed various colors.
“Just like a video game.” Rangorax said under his breath. The substance that swirled inside that massive door seemed to go on infinitely. The only other thing inside the giant “room” in the sky was a massive column. If a player of a video game or a sci-fi fan would have looked at it, he could have told you what it was. That’s exactly what happened.
“It looks like some sort of energy core” The three boys all said at once.
“What makes you say that?” Kerjov asked.
“Just trust us.” Rangorax said.
“What is it an energy core for?” Mommy asked. Nobody answered. The monsters were intently focused on getting to that core. Not only the monsters that had surrounded the people, but the monsters from all over the city. There were literally millions of the things flying or crawling towards the core. The ones that crawled began to levitate when they neared the door.
“What are they doing?” Mommy wondered out loud.
“Whatever it is, it can’t be good.” Sevyon said. He was righter than he possibly could have imagined. No one had time to do anything though. The monsters reached the massive core. They began slashing and beating it savagely. The earth trembled.
“Could that energy core be what I think it is?” Sevyon wondered. Above their heads an amazing sight perspired. The most beautiful meteor shower ever witnessed was happening. The chunks of space rock flew through the sky at amazing speeds with brilliant colors. If it weren’t for the situation, Rangorax might have said something romantic to Kerjov, but he felt it would be a little out of place. The earth began to quake more. Time seemed to slow down to Sevyon. The sky got dark. It became so dark that the meteor shower could no longer be viewed. He looked the other people around him. There were small pools of a dark substance forming at each of their feet.
“What the heck!?” He yelled. He couldn’t hear his voice over the earthquake. A black mist began to rise from the pools and envelop each of the parties standing in them. Sevyon turned around to look at Mommy and Johan. They were already gone. He turned to look at Kerjov and as he did she vanished. He turned to his best friend. He too was being sucked up by the black mist. Sevyon tried to run towards his long time companion. His feet wouldn’t move! He looked down and suddenly realized that one of the pools had formed around him as well. The mist was rising all around him. He stretched out his arm towards Rangorax.
“Grab me!” He yelled though his voice was inaudible. Rangorax seemed ot get the message anyway though. Rangorax too reached out his hand to Sevyon. They both missed each other on the first try. They were standing too far away. They stretched harder. The whole time the mist was gathering around both of them. Sevyon could feel it. It was an odd feeling. As he breathed the black substance in, it seemed to grab a hold of him and was almost as if it was pulling him. A very strange feeling indeed. The two successfully grasped each others hands. They tried to pull themselves close to each other, but they didn’t succeed. The pull of the darkness was too hard. With a sudden pull, the boys hands were separated and darkness covered Sevyon’s vision. He yelled out to no avail. Everything went black. His time on earth was up.
“Well I’ll be…” Johan said. “THAT IS TOTALLY WICKED!”
“What in the world?” Mommy said. All of them had their heads cocked back and were looking at the new sight. It appeared to be exactly what the sound they heard had been like.

Chapter 4
“Those guys are really starting to get on my nerves.” Rangorax said.
“Amen” Sevyon agreed. They minivan was flying down the road at least 50mph. Mommy wasn’t worried about speeding. It wasn’t like any policeman were going to pull them over, and it wasn’t like they were going to hit anyone else. She had already made it up in her mind that they were the only living people on the planet.
“Where are we going Mommy?” Johan asked.
“Anywhere to get away from those things. She replied. They reached the highway. “I think we should swing by the grocery store and see if we can grab some supplies.”
“Do we have any money?” Rangorax asked.
“Something tells me that we won’t have to pay for it.” Sevyon said. Weird concept. They didn’t have to pay anybody for anything because there wasn’t anybody. Kerjov groaned.
“Are you awake honey?” Mommy asked her daughter in a sweet tone.
“My head is killing me…” She moaned.
“Do you remember what happened to your arm?” Johan asked. “It was stinking sweet Mommy! She picked up Dad’s old hockey stick and went commando on those little beasties!”
“I don’t remember that…” She said. Her voice was soft from being weak. “All I remember was one of those things jumping on my arm and slashing it. Then another one jumped on my head and everything went black…”
“That’s when I grabbed the hockey stick and beat them off of her. They disappeared. It was really cool!” Johan exclaimed.
“Well good work little buddy. You saved your sister’s life.” Sevyon said while he gave Johan a high five. Kerjov sat up and looked at the two boys. She obviously had not been aware of their presence.
“Who are...” She started to ask, but her mother cut her short.
“These two boys are Sevyon and Rangorax. They saved our lives a little bit ago. Sevyon single-handedly covered our retreat from the basement. We owe are lives to these boys. This van we are riding in is theirs also. They have guns with them too.” Kerjov looked at Rangorax and then Sevyon. Sevyon turned his head. He could never get himself to look a girl in the eyes. They made him nervous. Rangorax smiled at her and held out his hand.
“Pleased to meet you.” He greeted. She shook his hand and held out hers for Sevyon to shake. He reached over and shook it with a pitiful weak shake while keeping his eyes on the ground. Sevyon did not mean to appear rude, but his entire life girls had made him squeamish. Just then something smashed into the window. Glass flew all over the interior of the van. They swerved.
“What was that?” Johan asked excitedly. No one had to answer his question. They looked out the shattered window at a large almost dragon like creature. It had it’s claws extended and it flew at the van again at an incredibly high speed. Rangorax thought fast. Out came the shotgun. BLAM! It disappeared.
“I’m glad that’s over.” Rangorax then replied.
“I don’t think so.” Sevyon said while pointing out the window. There was a massive flock of the creatures flying parallel with the minivan. Sevyon pulled out his rifle and began firing with his buddy Rangorax. The things just kept coming. Eventually there were so many that they began kicking the van with their feet. The two boys could no longer keep them all away.
“Mommy!” Rangorax yelled.
“Are you talking to me?” Johan’s mother asked.
“No time for formal introductions right now. Hold this!” He handed her a pistol. She smashed the drivers side window down and began firing at the ones that were blocking her view of the road while trying to drive with her other hand.
“I could use one” Kerjov offered. Sevyon looked at her in a weird way that seemed to say something like… “Girls can’t use guns.” Rangorax saw the possible confrontation coming and pulled the gun from Sevyon’s pocket and handed it to her. Kerjov smiled at Rangorax who smiled back. Sevyon sighed to himself. Rangorax always was the ladies man. He wondered why.
Kerjov began firing out the window with amazing accuracy. She had to have been trained with one of these things, but the beasts began pouring down harder and harder. The small army couldn’t keep the gianormous flock of the things away. A group of them slammed into the side of the van. Mommy swerved. Another group began to charge. Mommy saw this one coming and swung the van to the side just in time. Unfortunately she didn’t see the other group coming from the opposite side. She slammed the van right into them as they charged. The van flipped while still going 80 down the highway. Everyone inside screamed. It came to a stop. Everybody climbed out of the vehicle and checked themselves for injuries. They were all fine. The van was totaled though. As they looked around at their surroundings, that could be a problem. All throughout the sky they could see the dragon-like beasts and in the road surrounding them were thousands of the small ant-like beasts.
“I knew this wasn’t my day.” Sevyon thought to himself.
“Amen” Sevyon agreed. They minivan was flying down the road at least 50mph. Mommy wasn’t worried about speeding. It wasn’t like any policeman were going to pull them over, and it wasn’t like they were going to hit anyone else. She had already made it up in her mind that they were the only living people on the planet.

Chapter 3
There were at least 50 of the things gathered in the basement and more were pouring down by the second. They started to close in on him. “Eat lead!” he roared while blasting the creatures to oblivion with his duel pistol armada. He started to lessen their numbers, but more and more kept pouring down the stairs. CLICK CLICK CLICK went the pistols. “Why now?” he asked himself. He looked around for some cover. He spotted some. “If you don’t have what you want, make it.” That was one of his mottos his dad had told him since he was young. Sevyon then ran over to a dining table in the corner of the basement and pulled it out, flipped it sideways and flung it down. He dropped behind it and began refilling his armament. A creature jumped over the table and landed on Sevyon. He grabbed it, stood up, and flung it back at its companions then quickly went back to reloading. Thankfully the creatures didn’t seem intelligent enough to just charge him and take him by numbers, nevertheless, they did keep pressing slowly towards the table. Sevyon slid the second cartridge back into his pistol. He could hear the creatures very close on the other side of his makeshift cover. “Head’s up!” He yelled as he kicked the table into the mass. He left no time to retaliate as he began firing immediately after. The monsters were stunned by the table hitting them and began to fall back as they were wasted by pistol fire. He stopped only for a second as he reached over and grabbed one of the chairs that had been at the table and flung it at the beasts as well. Things were once again going his way when a felt something grab his leg. “What in the world?” He looked down and as he did he saw the full situation. Not only were the monsters pouring down the stairs, but now they were coming in from the exit where the rest of the people had left. There was no escape. “Oh SNAP!” He yelled at the top of his lungs. He kicked the creature off of his leg and began firing at the monsters gathering on both sides of him, one gun for each side. Once again the dreaded sound reached Sevyon’s ears. CLICK CLICK CLICK… “I have got to get out of here…” A monster lept at him, but he clubbed it with the pistol. He had to make a plan. He looked at the rest of the furniture that was in the basement, then back around him at the surrounding creatures. “I’ve got it” He said to himself. He pocketed both the pistols we was wielding and rushed over to the couch. “Eat this you filthy stinks!” He yelled as he grabbed the couch and slid it across the floor towards the back door, charging the creatures like a battering ram. “Like bowling if you could control the ball” Sevyon thought to himself as the smashed the creatures down with his battering ram. Soon he was out the door. He pushed the couch out of his way and began sprinting around the house towards the front yard. He heard a shotgun shot. Sevyon sighed. Not more. Not now. He grabbed both of his pistols and held them like clubs. When he got to the front of the house he took the situation in. Mommy was in the driver’s seat of the van firing Sevyon’s rifle out the window. Not only did she know how to use it, she was making good use of it. Rangorax was on top of the van firing down. The creatures were coming out from the house and making their way towards the van. “Open Sesame!” Sevyon yelled. Johan opened up the side door. A monster jumped up onto the van, but Sevyon got there and clubbed it over the head with his weapon. He jumped in and slammed the door hard. Rangorax swung down through the window in the passenger’s seat. The van was already running and Mommy threw it into gear and put the pedal to the metal. The tires squealed and the van sped off down the street with the monsters left in their dust. They were safe. For Now.

Chapter 2
The boys had walked their neighborhood with no signs of life. They gathered back at Sevyon’s house. It was only 1 P.M. The boys had been slient since checking the last house. Sevyon decided to break the silence.
“We should see if the news is on.” He said. They had already tried to phone 911, but the phone line was dead. The power must have been dead to because the tv didn’t come on. They sat in silence some more.
“What happened last night was local only right?” Rangorax asked himself out loud.
“There’s no way on earth that these creatures spread all over the world and destroyed everything.” Sevyon replied.
“There’s no way on earth it could have happened locally either.” Rangorax countered. “A black portal just opened up in the sky and odd, black, ant-like aliens poured out if it and started eating everyone and destroying everything… No one would have believed that was possible this morning. It sounds too much like something off the Sci-Fi channel or a video game.”
“Don’t be so doomsdayish man. Everyone can’t be dead… It’s not like we are the only ones alive… are we?” Sevyon asked. They both sat in silence. “We have to look for more survivors. Let’s get a vehicle.” The boys went down to Sevyon’s garage where Sevyon’s mom’s minivan was still in tact. His dad’s pickup which had been parked outside the house was demolished. It had probably created the explosion Sevyon heard earlier.
The boys got in the van.
“So, where to?” Sevyon asked.
“Just start driving man. Look for the least damaged part of town you can find.” Rangorax suggested. Sevyon took his suggestion.
After driving around for nearly 2 hours, they were on the complete opposite side of town than when they first started. Everywhere they went, things looked the same. Devastation everywhere.
“Let’s try this street” Rangorax suggested.
“Whatever…” Sevyon replied. He pulled the van down the street and continued the drive. The boys drove slowly with the windows down so they could hear any signs of life. So far, that too had produced no success. What had once been a completely peaceful neighborhood full of children playing hide-and-go-seek and similar games had now become a ruin. Rangorax was about to suggest another area of town when he heard a noise. It sounded like a human voice. Sevyon didn’t seem to notice it. He heard it again.
“Help!” it cried from somewhere down the street where they had previously been driving. Sevyon heard it this time. He shifted the van into reverse and sped towards the sound. There was a woman, in her late 30’s to early 40’s standing out in the front lawn of one of the houses. Sevyon pulled into the driveway. The woman was covered in dirt, sweat, and blood. She had obviously done her fair share of battle with the creatures. When the boys got out of the car she rushed them as if they were the last living people on earth. If the boys would have thought about it, they might have been.
“Come inside! Hurry!” she said while she pulled them towards the house. The boys had a hard time staying on their feet the lady was going so fast. When they got inside (the obliteration was identical to every house they’d seen so far) she led them down a hallway. All the doors in the hallway were smashed down, but one remained in tact. The woman banged on the door and called to someone on the other side. “Let me in! It’s your mother and I have others!” There was noise on the other side of the door as if large objects were being moved. The door opened a short time later. The greeter was a young boy about 10 years old. His face was also dirtied as if he had been through quite a struggle. When he saw the other two boys his face lit up bright.
“They have guns! Can I use one?” He asked eagerly. His mother laughed.
“Hello Johan, I’m glad to see you to” she said while she gave him a hug. Johan lauged. “Where is your sister?”
“She’s downstairs sleeping. She’s tired and her arm is bleeding pretty bad.” The mother immediately rushed past her son down the stairs and around the corner.
“So what’s your names?” Johan asked.
“Well, I’m Sevyon”
“And I’m Rangorax.” The two replied.
“We’ll my name’s Johan and I’m the man of this house. My daddy left when I was little and ever since, I’ve had to be the man.” He said this with a smile on his face, but the boys felt pity for the young child absent of his father. “The woman you met was my mom. Her name is Mommy. I’m not allowed to call her by her real name. My sister is downstairs and her name is Kerjov. She’s 15 and gets pimples that she doesn’t…”
“How about we go see her?” Rangorax interrupted the youngster.
“Okay, but she’ll be mad because she’s all dirty and she doesn’t like boys to see her like that.” Johan said while he walked down the stairs and motioned for the other two to follow him. The duo followed the young boy around the corner which opened up into a large room. On a couch in the corner was the girl that the boys assumed to be Kerjov. She was either sleeping or unconscious. Her arm was tied up in a blood-soaked towel. Mommy was standing over her trying to stop the bleeding by applying pressure. The boys walked closer. Sevyon was about to say something when…
CRASH! Something flew down the stairs. It was the door that used to block the top. Johan screamed.
“We have to get back to the van!” Sevyon yelled above the noise of the creatures toppling down the stairs. “Is there some other way to get outside?” He asked Johan’s mother. She pointed across the room to a glass door which led to a walk about patio. “Let’s go!” He ordered. Rangorax picked up Kerjov and Johan’s mom picked up her son. Sevyon turned the safety off his pistol. “Hey Rangor…” He started to ask, but Rangorax had read his mind. Rangorax pulled out his pistol and threw it to his friend. “I’ll cover you guys!” he called over his shoulder while he turned and faced the beasts. The others turned and ran. “Well… this is my battle now…” He said to himself.
“We should see if the news is on.” He said. They had already tried to phone 911, but the phone line was dead. The power must have been dead to because the tv didn’t come on. They sat in silence some more.
“What happened last night was local only right?” Rangorax asked himself out loud.
“There’s no way on earth that these creatures spread all over the world and destroyed everything.” Sevyon replied.
“There’s no way on earth it could have happened locally either.” Rangorax countered. “A black portal just opened up in the sky and odd, black, ant-like aliens poured out if it and started eating everyone and destroying everything… No one would have believed that was possible this morning. It sounds too much like something off the Sci-Fi channel or a video game.”
“Don’t be so doomsdayish man. Everyone can’t be dead… It’s not like we are the only ones alive… are we?” Sevyon asked. They both sat in silence. “We have to look for more survivors. Let’s get a vehicle.” The boys went down to Sevyon’s garage where Sevyon’s mom’s minivan was still in tact. His dad’s pickup which had been parked outside the house was demolished. It had probably created the explosion Sevyon heard earlier.
The boys got in the van.
“So, where to?” Sevyon asked.
“Just start driving man. Look for the least damaged part of town you can find.” Rangorax suggested. Sevyon took his suggestion.
After driving around for nearly 2 hours, they were on the complete opposite side of town than when they first started. Everywhere they went, things looked the same. Devastation everywhere.
“Let’s try this street” Rangorax suggested.
“Whatever…” Sevyon replied. He pulled the van down the street and continued the drive. The boys drove slowly with the windows down so they could hear any signs of life. So far, that too had produced no success. What had once been a completely peaceful neighborhood full of children playing hide-and-go-seek and similar games had now become a ruin. Rangorax was about to suggest another area of town when he heard a noise. It sounded like a human voice. Sevyon didn’t seem to notice it. He heard it again.
“Help!” it cried from somewhere down the street where they had previously been driving. Sevyon heard it this time. He shifted the van into reverse and sped towards the sound. There was a woman, in her late 30’s to early 40’s standing out in the front lawn of one of the houses. Sevyon pulled into the driveway. The woman was covered in dirt, sweat, and blood. She had obviously done her fair share of battle with the creatures. When the boys got out of the car she rushed them as if they were the last living people on earth. If the boys would have thought about it, they might have been.
“Come inside! Hurry!” she said while she pulled them towards the house. The boys had a hard time staying on their feet the lady was going so fast. When they got inside (the obliteration was identical to every house they’d seen so far) she led them down a hallway. All the doors in the hallway were smashed down, but one remained in tact. The woman banged on the door and called to someone on the other side. “Let me in! It’s your mother and I have others!” There was noise on the other side of the door as if large objects were being moved. The door opened a short time later. The greeter was a young boy about 10 years old. His face was also dirtied as if he had been through quite a struggle. When he saw the other two boys his face lit up bright.
“They have guns! Can I use one?” He asked eagerly. His mother laughed.
“Hello Johan, I’m glad to see you to” she said while she gave him a hug. Johan lauged. “Where is your sister?”
“She’s downstairs sleeping. She’s tired and her arm is bleeding pretty bad.” The mother immediately rushed past her son down the stairs and around the corner.
“So what’s your names?” Johan asked.
“Well, I’m Sevyon”
“And I’m Rangorax.” The two replied.
“We’ll my name’s Johan and I’m the man of this house. My daddy left when I was little and ever since, I’ve had to be the man.” He said this with a smile on his face, but the boys felt pity for the young child absent of his father. “The woman you met was my mom. Her name is Mommy. I’m not allowed to call her by her real name. My sister is downstairs and her name is Kerjov. She’s 15 and gets pimples that she doesn’t…”
“How about we go see her?” Rangorax interrupted the youngster.
“Okay, but she’ll be mad because she’s all dirty and she doesn’t like boys to see her like that.” Johan said while he walked down the stairs and motioned for the other two to follow him. The duo followed the young boy around the corner which opened up into a large room. On a couch in the corner was the girl that the boys assumed to be Kerjov. She was either sleeping or unconscious. Her arm was tied up in a blood-soaked towel. Mommy was standing over her trying to stop the bleeding by applying pressure. The boys walked closer. Sevyon was about to say something when…
CRASH! Something flew down the stairs. It was the door that used to block the top. Johan screamed.
“We have to get back to the van!” Sevyon yelled above the noise of the creatures toppling down the stairs. “Is there some other way to get outside?” He asked Johan’s mother. She pointed across the room to a glass door which led to a walk about patio. “Let’s go!” He ordered. Rangorax picked up Kerjov and Johan’s mom picked up her son. Sevyon turned the safety off his pistol. “Hey Rangor…” He started to ask, but Rangorax had read his mind. Rangorax pulled out his pistol and threw it to his friend. “I’ll cover you guys!” he called over his shoulder while he turned and faced the beasts. The others turned and ran. “Well… this is my battle now…” He said to himself.

Chapter 1
Crash! The sound of glass shattering and something exploding filled the air.
“What the heck was that?!?” Sevyon asked himself. He jumped out of bed and looked at the clock on his shelf. “Eleven A.M., but its still dark outside…” BAM! Sevyon’s door snapped in half and small dark creatures began filling the room. They looked a little bit like large ants with giant yellow eyes. They had antennae on their heads which wiggled wildly. “I’ve got to be dreaming.” I’ve got to be dreaming Sevyon thought to himself, but not for long… One of the creatures leapt at him. Sevyon ducked and ran to his window. One of the little beasts jumped on his back and began clawing at it. “AUGHH!” Sevyon screamed. More of them jumped on him. Sevyon had an idea. He kicked one of the creatures off of his feet, and jumped as hard as he could out the window. (Sevyon’s room was located on the second floor of a rather large two story house so the fall was rather dangerous.) The window shattered and Sevyon and his parasites fell. During the fall Sevyon tried to pry to beasts off to no avail. Upon impact on the ground (which Sevyon skillfully forced on the creatures rather than himself) the monsters grips on him loosened. Sevyon took his chance, got up, and sprinted down the street. While running he looked around. The creatures were everywhere! People screaming filled Sevyon’s mind. “What is going on here?” He wondered. Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of something in the sky. He looked up. “Whoa!” He exclaimed when he saw the massive black hole in the sky. Pouring from it were more of the small black creatures. “What are those things?...” The odd black creatures crawled about four limbs. They had two back limbs like legs and two front ones like arms. The beings seemed to have an odd talent. They could latten their body and slide along the ground in a two-dimensional manner. That wasn’t the weirdest part about them though. When they had grabbed onto Sevyon’s back, he noticed that the creatures didn’t stink. While that in itself was not weird, the texture of their skin was. It wasn’t furry like one would expect, nor was it leathery. It was something entirely unexplainable.
Further up the street Sevyon saw a police car driving. “Yes!” Sevyon exclaimed. “Finally some help!” But unfortunately for Sevyon, the policeman was soon to be no more. One of the little beasties flung himself at the cars tires and slashed them. The car skidded and 20 or so of the monsters slammed their bodies into the car which then rolled. The policeman climbed out of the car window. Sevyon ran over to try and help, but it was of no avail. The next thing Sevyon saw would be the weirdest to date. A mass of the beasts jumped on to policeman. They seemed to all be headed for his chest. The victim attempted to pull out his gun and shoot the devils, but his arm was cut by the claws of one and the gun skidded across the road. Sevyon could no longer see the policeman. All he saw was a pile of the little black, ant-like entities. Then something strange happened. Something glowing levitated into the air. It glowed a pinkish glow and was the shape of a heart. It turned black after a moment and vanished. “What in the world?” Upon the vanishing of the heart, the monsters climbed away and where Sevyon expected to see a mangled body, there was nothing. “They are him…” Sevyon thought. The creatures soon found another victim. They all turned their eyes to Sevyon. “Oh dirt…” Sevyon looked around for something to defend himself with and spotted the recently departed policeman’s gun lying in the road. He dashed towards it, picked it up, and turned around. Chu-chink went the pistol as Sevyon pulled the action. One of the beings sprang at him. BLAM BLAM BLAM!!! “What…?” Sevyon said out loud. Instead of leaving a body like Sevyon expected, the bullets had penetrated the creature’s head and the monster vaporized. “How weird is that?” But at least he could get rid of them. 15 or so of the creatures came at him. They were so close… he couldn’t miss. BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM CLICK CLICK CLICK! “Blast it all!” Sevyon exclaimed out loud. The creatures that remained began to form a circle around him. “This is not my day.” When all seemed to be lost…
“Yo Sevyon! Catch!” Yelled a voice behind Sevyon. Sevyon looked over. His best friend Rangorax threw a 12 gauge at him. Sevyon deftly caught it. Chu-chink. BOOM! Chu-chink, BOOM! After a couple more shots, Sevyon had cleared the area.
“Dude! You saved my tail!” Sevyon exclaimed while he clasped Rangorax’s hand and bumped shoulders with him.” Rangorax didn’t look too happy.
“My parents… they’re…” He couldn’t finish. His head went down. Sevyon put his hand around his old friend. There wasn’t much time for grief. A group of the little demons had grouped down the street and were coming towards them.
“Let’s go back to my house. We’ll see if my parents will know what to do.” Sevyon suggested. The boys walked down the street towards Sevyon’s house. A couple of random monsters noticed them, but were easily dispatched of. The beasts seemed to be more focused on something else.
Upon arrival at Sevyon’s house, the damage that had been done sunk in. The windows were all shattered and the door was busted down. Sevyon instinctively ran up to his parents room with his friend close behind.
“Mom! Dad!” he called. No answer.
“Check this.” Rangorax said as he pointed at a rifle in the floor. The rifle bad been in Sevyon’s family for many years. It was his father’s. Ammunition was scattered all over the floor. Sevyon looked at his parents bed. The blankets were shredded, a lamp was broken, everything was destroyed. Sevyon dropped to his knees.
“Noooooooooo!” He screamed. Rangorax sat down beside him. Through his own tear clouded eyes Sevyon saw that his buddy was crying to. These two boys were the closest things to brothers that they had. They were both only children, but knew what it was like to have a brother in each other. The longer they sat there the more the grief of the loss grew. Realization set in. They mourned for some time over an hour before they thought about the present.
“What do we do now?” Rangorax asked.
“Well, we can’t just sit here.” Sevyon replied. “Let’s go look for more survivors. We’ll bring some guns and ammo and stuff and we’ll find other people that can help us.” The boys then both armed themselves for their mission; Sevyon with his father’s rifle and the policeman’s pistol (Which he reloaded) and Rangorax with his shotgun and one of Sevyon’s father’s pistols. They pocketed some ammo and left the house.
“Let’s kick this pig.” Rangorax said as they walked out the door.
“What the heck was that?!?” Sevyon asked himself. He jumped out of bed and looked at the clock on his shelf. “Eleven A.M., but its still dark outside…” BAM! Sevyon’s door snapped in half and small dark creatures began filling the room. They looked a little bit like large ants with giant yellow eyes.

The Beginning
The last post was taken from the true Ansem's report #3. Since the passing of Ansem, the worlds were saved and peace was restored. Many people know that story, however, what people do not know is that there were others that were important in the restoration of peace. There was another keyblade master who aided in the salvation of the worlds. His name, was Sevyon. I will tell his tell in as much detail as possible that the worlds may know the complete story. I have taken on a form in the void as Ansem did in order to find out my information. I shall begin retelling the tale to you as best as I can...
DiZ
Having exiled me, what could Xehanort be aiming for?
Have everyone's smiling faces gone?
As the light of hope has faded, I will now walk along with the dadrkness.
In the world of nothingness to which I have been exiled.
Darkness within nothingness...
"Darkness in Zero"
Therefore, I will take the name "DiZ".
I will cast aside the exile's name "Ansem"... and have my revenge.
