A voice and a burning light starts shining through the darkness. "Aio. Aio. Aio! Hey! Wake up!!" Aio wakes up to seeing his best friend Jake Smith. Realizing that he's in his bedroom on the bottom bunk of the bed. "Jake, why are you waking me up so early? It's five o'clock in the morning. And it's my birthday." Aio tosses his blanket over his head. "I know. That's exactly why I'm waking you up." As he pulls aio out of the bed. "Let's go see the sunrise for your birthday." Jake had Blue eyes, blonde combed hair, black skin, wore a red tshirt with a blue jean jacket; and black jean pants. Aio had brown eyes, black spiky hair, white skin, wore a white tshirt; blue jean pants. Aio stands up and starts stretching. Looks at Jake with squinting eyes. "As long as the band joins us." replied aio referring to the rest of their friends.

     Later. Out on the plains of fields of long lush green grass. The sun starts to rise revealing the clear blue sky. Stands Aio with his friends and instruments. That begin to play music with the new day.

     (Aio speaking in dialogue.) "This is my world. In the year 2025, the world's first Gifted human arrived. This child had a superhuman ability, windshield wipers. This ability allowed him to have windshield wipers, wipe his eyeballs. News spread quickly. And the US Government were able to get their hands on the baby. They're scientist's started experiments on the poor child. One of the scientists in particular, was paid off to bring back information. Then later, a man that was kidnaped, had been returned to his family unharmed except for one thing. He had windshield wipers wiping his eyes too. The Man explained to the police that he had been experimented on. And he didn't know who the culprits were. He became known as the first one, The first Tainted. Then a week later. The next Gifted Child was born. And when the child clapped, a shockwave launched one of the doctor's checking on him into a wall. And once the story hit the news. People were terrified. Chaos roamed the streets around the world. Governments could only think of one way to stop it. They decided to combine the nations with each other. And formed a single gathered nation to stop the riots. To reinsure the population. The nations built a new city. Known as "Dragano City.'' The City of the Nation of the Dragano Alliance. But it only helped for a short time.

     A few weeks later. Terrorists attacked Dragano City. Holding the Government as prisoners not able to do anything. They feared for the Citizens lives. But then out of nowhere, a man appeared. He began to speak, "Be calm everyone. You see, the Chivalrous one's here to bring justice!" Then in the next moment, he was gone. One by one, he was saving everyone in danger from both the terrorist's and from the wreckage. Soon, the terrorist's were captured and the people celebrated that they had been saved. The last words he said before he left was, "Don't worry citizens, Hope endures for all time. Remember whatever comes, Chivalrous Heroes will always come to serve justice." Then he left. But because of his actions, as well as people randomly having Gifts come out of nowhere. The Government decided to make Heroes a real profession. As long as they followed the Moral Regulation Code. And through the first Hero, who everyone named the Chevalier. All sorts of people were inspired to become heroes. Including the world's Greatest hero, The Neon. From then until now, in the Year 2045. The world is a place where Heroes and Criminals live."

     Someone yells interrupting there playing, "What are you kids doing! Want to wake up the whole neighborhood?" It was Miss Lora. "Sorry Miss Lora." Replies Aio, knowing that she was upset. Miss lora sighs, "Well, come on. Breakfast is ready and getting cold." "Coming!" Replied aio and his friends as they headed inside. After breakfast three kids, Sally who's five, Jim who's six, and Jack who was eight; all wanted to go to town with Aio and Jake. "Sorry," said Jake. "But aio and I are just leaving to look for his birthday present. While you three have a special job." Jake whispers to their ears. "We need you guys to help Miss Lora with decorations before we get back." Jake speaks normally again. "Can you do that." As Jake smiles. Then they replied. "Ya." Jake replies. "Good." Then Aio says. "Thanks guys, whatever it is you're doing for me. I'm really thankful." Then Sally replies. "Big brother, we would do anything for you." Then Jim said. "She's right. You take care of us." Then Jack said. "And you really care about us, so we want to help you." Aio replies with happiness. "You guys. Alright stay out of trouble." Sally replies as the three start running inside smiling. "We will." Jack replies as well. "Leave it to us." Then Aio and Jake headed into town.

     At 11:55 am, Aio and Jake started heading back to the orphanage. When a bunch of ambulances and police cars speedly started passing them. "What's going on?" said Jake with a puzzled worried face. Aio was puzzled as well. So he looked and saw ahead of the cars. The police cars and ambulances were heading towards the orphanage. Immediately without a word. Aio started running as fast as he could. Dropping the groceries and his present behind him. Jake started running behind him. "Aio! Wait!" yelled jake. But Aio kept running until he reached the orphanage and then he stopped. The orphanage had caution tape all around it. And it was surrounded by police and paramedics. As well as two Ace Heroes (Professional Heroes), Jackhammer. And the ranked Number two of the top ten heroes, Eight. Jackhammer was a strong looking man. He had red spiky hair, light skin, orange overall straps, cation taped short sleeves, a belt with screw heads on it; and his legendary hydraulic jackhammer arms and legs. And Eight was also a strong looking. Not as much as jackhammer. But still strong and athletic. He also had white hair and a white suit. A Black eye sash covering. Along with black X stripes on his chest that meet with the number eight in the middle. And lastly, he had black gloves and boots. Jake caught up to aio breathing heavily and said. "What happened." Aio suddenly ran right past the police and right under the cation tape without stopping. And he kept running until an hydraulic arm came out in front of him. It was Jackhammer. He then took a knee in front of him with a concerned face and eyes. "Kid, are you from this orphanage?" asked jackhammer. Aio replied terrified. "Yes! Please?! Where are the other's?" Jackhammer looks at him sorrowful. "Sorry kid. We didn't get here in time." Jackhammer pauses and aio looks over his shoulder. "You see, there was a criminal. We don't know why he attacked this place. But, we don't believe he got what he came for. While the criminal was in a rage he…" Jackhammer couldn't finish his sentence. But he didn't have to. Aio saw the covered bodies that the police were carrying out. Everyone he knew at the orphanage except his best friend, was dead. Aio started screaming in pain. And Jake was frozen. But then, aio started to change from pain, to just pure rage while laughing crazily. Suddenly someone grabbed his shoulder. "Aio." Aio looked over his shoulder and couldn't believe his sight. It was the ranked number one Hero, The Neon. Neon had dark brown hair with green eyes. Was dressed in a black suit that came up to his face like a bandana. And he also had white stripes like a tiger. And lastly, his body was the size of Eight, except he was way more muscle toned. "Come on kid." Said Neon. "We should talk." Still in shock with a blank stare, Aio followed him. "Take the other kid, would ya Hammer?" "Sure, leave it to me" replied Jackhammer.

     Later, Neon took Aio to the police station. There he started to ask aio questions. "Kid, do you need anything? Is there something I can do for you?" Aio looks up from the table in pure rage. "Ya, you can bring back my friends!" Neon taken back from this, begins to speak in sorrow. "Forgive me, your right. I should have been there. I failed you as the Number one Ace Hero." Aio realizes Neon's regret. And that he is also punishing himself. "No. Forgive me, I am just enraged is all. I know it's not you or any of the Heroes fault." Then there was a long pause of silence. Aio then realizes something. "Hey, your Gift ability (Superhuman ability) is that you can use force energy shields (force fields) right!" Neon taken back by this. "Well yes. But that was out of the blew, why would you ask me that?" "Because, I want you to train me. I also can use force energy shields. But obviously not like you. I don't know if it is possible or not. But I need to try!" Neon was quiet for a moment. Then he opened up aio's personal file. "I read your file earlier. I know you never wanted to be a hero before. Instead you wanted to be a musician. So why start now? I want to know your reason. Is it because you want to bring justice to others? So people don't have to go through the pain that you just had to endure." Aio replies. "NO! I want to get the pieces of Crap that killed My Friends!" Neon could feel the pressure of Aio's words. And the face of rage he gave could kill a man with just one look. Neon was frozen for a second. But then he thought. "Even though his motivation is wrong.  He still was honest about it. And he was willing to tell me. Knowing I would probably say no to his answer. Should I take a chance with this kid. Can I trust in his past good nature. Or is their nothing I can do already." After debating with himself, he came to a decision. And said. "Alright, I will train you. Not because of your revenge however." Aio was taken back a little. "But because I am going to do my best to save you. Since I couldn't before. I promise to make a hero out of you yet. Oh, and just to let you know, this won't be easy."

     Later, up on the Mountains. "Uh. Neon where are we?" Says Aio, while Neon is leading him on a hike up a mountain. Aio continues "We've been hiking for an hour now." "Don't worry." Neon replied. "You'll get your revenge." "But I thought you aren't training me for that." Replied aio. "I'm not." Says Neon. "But I also know that you are not going to give up. Even if I tell you to. You'll still try." Aio started thinking to himself. "So he must be thinking that he can change my mind by learning the Heroes path. Good luck with that Hero Number one." Neon stops after climbing up over a cliff. Aio followed suit. "Were here." Says Neon. "Welcome to the training lodge." As aio laid his eyes on a run down lodge. Aio's mouth practically dropped to the ground. "You've got to be Kidding ME!!" He yelled. "You like it." Neon says with a mischievous grin. Aio starts shouting at neon. "No! I can't believe you would bring me up here for this!!" While aio is shouting. Neon was thinking about dinner. "I wonder if there is any fish in the pond down the hill still." Aio than quieted down. And neon began to speak again. "Now, enough joking around. You remember when I said this wasn't going to be easy." Aio then remembered. "Wait. Your saying?" "That's right." Replies neon. "You're training starts now. Well, I guess now is as good a time as any." Neon then takes off his bandana zipped to his suit. Aio's eyes slowly widen, and his mouth drops. Revealing the man who just adopted him. Neon begins to speak. "Hey kid. My real name is Aren Nelson. And I'm the Neon." Aio thinks back to the past after his talk with Neon at the police station. Before he left. Aio asked him what he needed to do to train with him. "Don't worry." Said neon. "I will take care of that." Then he left. Aio than sat and waited for his new Dad that had decided to adopt him. As he hears the doorbell ring. Then he meets his dad for the first time. "Aio." Aren says softly to aio. "My Name is Aren Nelson. I'm here to look after you." Then the police chief asked aren a question. "So. Are you going to send him to school?" Aren responds. "I think will take it slowly, I will have him with me for a year. Then I will send him to school." As they walked out of the police station. Aren got a phone call, and began to start running. "Where are you going?!" Aio asked. "Sorry!" Responded aren. "I have an errand to attend to! Neon already told me what you are doing! Stay safe and work hard!!" Aio then stopped moving and waited for Neon to come. A couple of minutes later. Neon arrived and said. "Alright, let's go." Then aio came back to reality. "I wondered why you and neon knew each other." Aio said. "Yah." Replies aren. "So that's why you gave me a year away from school." Aio said with realization. "Yes." Replies aren. "I also know that you are a grade ahead in school. So I'm making this year all about training. So hopefully by next year you will be able to join the Chevaliers Alma Mater for Heroes." "What?!" Replied aio. "That's the number one Hero school in the world!" "Hey!!" Yelled aren. "I thought you would do anything for your revenge!" Aio stopped to think. Aren continued. "If you are unwilling to push past your limits. You can kiss that Criminal that killed your family goodbye." "He's right." Aio thought. "If I am unwilling to do whatever it takes. My rage will never get the chance to be sated!!" "Alright!" Aio says out loud. "What do I need to do?!" Aren smiles and begins to speak. "Alright, first things first. We're going to start on strengthing your body and your Aura." "What's aura?" Aio says with a puzzled face. Aren frowns with a face of disappointment. "I guess will start with the basics. Aura, is a special energy force we receive in our bodies the moment we become Gifted or Tainted humans. Once we have this energy. We are able to use it in many different ways. And their are also different kinds of aura." "How many kinds?" Aio asks. "To many to count." Replies aren. "Luckily, scientist's we're able to collect information through blood tests. This allowed them to figure out who uses what type of aura. But I can give you a couple of examples. These examples are Enhancing, Physical, and Energy types of aura." "Who uses those types?" Aio asked. Aren begins to explain. "Actually, you've met all those who use those types. Jackhammer uses the physical type of aura." "Why?" Aio asked. "Because his aura changed his physical body." Says aren. "Is that why he has jackhammer arms and legs?" Aio asked. "Yes." Aren replied. "When physical types of aura fuse with the human body. It changes the human physiology in order to use the aura energy." "Who uses the enhancing type of aura?" Asks aio. "Eight." Replies aren. "His aura allows him to enhance his physical body to do superhuman feats under certain conditions. For example, enhanced speed and strength, etcetera." "What about the last type you said?" Aio asks with apuzzled face. Trying to remember the last aura type. "The last one would be me. Or you and me if you'd like. We use the energy type of aura. Typically, force energy shield types (force field types). Channel they're aura through their muscles out of they're arms, in order to form a bubble of protection." "Like this." Says aio as he makes a beautiful, big, and solid force energy shield (forcefield). Aren gasped in shock. And thought. "I knew he was strong. But I didn't think he would be this strong. He made a solid force energy shield in a blink of an eye. With just a description of it. He has great potential. Very impressive. But still!" Aren's face starts turning red with anger. "That's! Totally! WRONG!!" Aren yelled at the top of his lungs. Aio covering his head with his arms. As if he was fearing for his life. "W'What's the m' matter?" Aren sighed. "It's not your fault. But your doing exactly what everyone else does." Aio asks. "And that's wrong?" Aren replies. "Yes. Because you will only be a defensive fighter." Aio responds confidently. "Yes." Then like a bolt of lightning. Realization hits him. "But then I won't become powerful because I can't use offensive abilities." Aio speaks his thoughts out loud. Aren starts crying with pride and thought. "I didn't make the wrong choice, he will be a good pupil!" Aio grabs aren's arms and starts shaking him. "Pull yourself together!" Aio yells. Then aren wipes away his tears and says. "Right." Aio asks. "So, what do I need to do." Aren replies. "First, we need to check how much power and control you have over your force energy shield." Aio gets puzzled for a moment. "How do we do that." Aio asks. "Simple." Aren responds. "First get into a squatting position. Next, relax your shoulders pointing downward. Then have from your elbows to forearms pointing straight forward. And also have your hands make a fist with the back of them pointing down to the ground." Aio then proceeds to get into position. "Like this?" Aio asks. Aren proceeded to tweak aio's form in certain places. Then stops with a pleased smile and says. "There. That should do it." Aio starts thinking, then says out loud. "I'm feeling like I'm doing martial arts." "Of course." Replies aren. "Thanks to scientist's discovering aura. I was able to apply that information to my training." "What do you mean by, Apply?" Asked aio. "I came up with my training all on my own." Aren says proudly with a grin on his face. With a skeptical face, aio speaks to himself. "He must have read it out of a manga." "Anyways." Says aren. "Let's continue." Aio focuses. Aren begins to speak again. "Now I want you to close your eyes." Aio closes his eyes and just sees darkness. Aren continued. "Imagine a pool of energy swirling inside your stomach." Aio then sees a blue glowing electrified pool of Aura. "I see it!" Says aio. "Don't lose focus!" Replies aren. Aren continued. "Now, I want you to spread that energy throughout your entire body, by following the channels through your muscles."  Aio focused and started moving the energy a little bit. Following through the path of his muscles. Until he had it all circulated throughout his body. "More!" Says aren. "Fill it MORE!!" Aio kept filling, and filling more energy. Until aio started flickering blue electrical energy outside of his body. As well as being in pain. Then all the energy flooded into his body. "GOOD!!" Yelled aren, so aio could hear him. "I DON'T THINK I CAN CONTROL IT!!" Aio yelled. "JUST HOLD IT A LITTLE LONGER!!" Replies aren. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!" Yells aio in pain as blue electricity starts blasting out everywhere. And a blue glow starts appearing around aio. Than a bright white light coming from aio. Starts covering all the mountaintop. As well as aren. Aren tried covering his eyes with his arm from the light. Until it was just a flash. "BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!"

     An eighty year old Man and his wife are taking a nice walk on the bottom of the Mountain. "BANG!!!!!!!!!!!!" The old man and woman fell to the ground from an explosion. That came from the top of the Mountain. "GEORGE! GEORGE! What was that?!" Said the old woman as she helps george up "I don't know Barbara." Says george. "But frankly I don't want to know." As george and barbara are shaking. She nodded her head in agreement. George began to speak again. "Come on. Let's go before a Meteorite hits us. Or a tornado. Or whatever blazes is next!" "I hear you george, I hear you." Says barbara as they hobbled down the mountain as fast as they could.

     A little while later. Up at the top of the Mountain. Is a man standing over a kid. The kid was laying in a small crater. It was Aio. Aio kept hearing a voice. Then thought. "I know that voice." Aren speaking. "Hey!!" Aio continued thinking. "Who is that? It sounds like Aren." "Hey!! Kid!! Can you hear me!!" Called aren to aio. "Why are you being so loud." Aio replies. "Oh good. I was a little worried there." Says aren. "What happened?" Asks aio. "Well." Says aren tentatively. "You kind of ah, exploded." "WHAT!!" Yells aio. "YOU TOLD ME FIGURING OUT MY POWER AND CONTROL WOULD BE EASY!! YOU RISKED MY LIFE JUST NOW!!!" Aio keeps yelling with a bright red face in pure rage. Aren responds nonchalantly while getting hit by aio. "I said it was simple. I didn't say it would be easy." Aio sits down and pouts a little. "Well. You could have warned me." "I did." Replies aren. "Remember at the police station. I told you that it wouldn't be easy." Aio replies silently. "Well that wasn't a warning. That was like a pre'warning." Aren glares at aio in anger. Aio backs off and says. "Sorry, my bad." Aren sighs then says. "Well, how did it feel?" Aio begins to think, then speaks out loud to aren. "It was exhilarating. When I was in that state. I felt like I could make the strongest force energy shield (force field) in existence." "That's because you did." Replies aren. "But also, with not enough control over it. I would have exploded." Aio stated. "That is also correct." Aren said in agreement. "That's why the goal for this year is to increase your physical strength. The stronger you are, the easier it will be for your body to control that energy. To the point where you can control your first force energy shield layer right above the skin of your body." "What do you mean by force energy shield 'Layer?' (force field Layer)" Asked aio. Aren explains. "There are two different types of force energy shield layers. What I am teaching you now is the first layer." "What about the second layer?" Aio asks. "One step at a time." Answers aren. As he rubbed aio's hair while smiling. Aio wipes away aren's hand in annoyance. "But when we are done this year. You will be able to make this." Says  aren, as aio stands in shock with eyes wide open. And his jaw dropped to the ground, as he sees aren make the strongest. Most powerful force energy shield anyone has ever seen. And the force energy shield was perfectly layered right above his skin. The force energy shield was also glowing a beautiful Neon green color. "Now, let's get to training." Says aren.

     For the next year, aren had aio working from dusk till dawn. Whether it was raining heavily, lightning storms, sixty mile an hour winds, or even all of that weather combined; Aren made aio train. Even when he wasn't always around. Aren from time to time would leave in his Neon outfit. Aio figured he must have had to go save someone indanger. But if something life threatening happened. Luckily, Aern would intervene in those situations. He would just make a force energy shield around aio's body so that aio wouldn't get hurt. But all the while, aren would have his force energy shield protecting himself from all the weather as well. "He seems to be enjoying himself." Aio thought to himself. "But it doesn't matter! Whatever comes my way. I still will have my revenge! I can endure this!" With determination, aio always kept pressing forward. This always impressed aren. Then a couple of months pass.

     In the middle of winter. Aren is inside the lodge cooking dinner. Until a huge commotion happens when Aio slams open the door as he runs in yelling. "I did it! I DID IT!!" Aren looks at aio a little angrily. Aio quickly realized. When he slammed the door open. He caused aren to drop the pot of stew he made on himself. "Sorry." Says aio nervously. "What did you do." Asked aren in a deep sigh as he cleaned up the mess. "What?" Asks aio puzzled. "You said you did it. What did you do?" Aren asked, repeating himself. "Oh!" Says aio, remembering what he was going to say. "I was able to do the first layer!" Aio says in excitement. Aren makes a skeptical look and asks. "Show me." Then aio with all his might. Makes a thin neon blue force energy shield layer right above his skin. "Now can you teach me the next layer?" Asks aio. Aren walks up to aio. Than with a flick of his finger on aio's shield. It blows away. "Why did you do that?" Aio asked sadly as his shield blew away. "To make a point." Answers aren. "Your first layer is far too weak. I'll teach you the second layer after this year is over. I give you my word." "But isn't there a faster way?!" Complained aio. "Listen." Said aren. "The reason I'm not teaching you it. Is because your body isn't capable of handling it yet. If I tried to teach you the second layer now. Your body would explode from the inside out. And all that would be left of you is ashes." "Than why did you have me explode the first time?!" Says aio in frustration. Aren sighs then says. "The reason why I had you do it the first time. Was so that you could know how it felt. That way, you would understand what you needed to do. You can't run until you walk." "What's that mean?" Asks aio. "It's an expression." Answers aren. "It means that everything takes time to master. Take me for example. I was sixteen when I started my training. And it took me two years to master the first layer." "Two years?" Asked aio. "Yes." Answers aren as he looked down in the fireplace. Remembering all of those times. "Kids used to make fun of me at school. Since I couldn't fight at there level. Until I turned eighteen that is. And two years after that, I mastered the second layer." "You weren't the number one Hero at that time right?" Asks aio. "Yes." Answers aren. "I wasn't. It took me three more years of experience before that was possible." "Why are you telling me this?" Asked aio. "Because." Replies aren. "I'm letting you know that you're making incredible progress." "I need some fresh air." Says aio as he walked out of the room. Aio kept walking through the snow, thinking. "Will I ever get the chance to avenge Miss Lora and everyone else?" As aio came to a ledge at the bottom of the Mountain. He saw all of the bright lights coming from a large town. Aio thought. "Can you see the view Miss Lora and everyone. I hope so." Aio than closed his eyes, feeling at peace. Than the alarms go off from the town. Along with screams from both men and women. Aio then gets filled with rage as he hears all the sounds. He thought to himself. "A Criminal (Tainted/Gifted Villain) is attacking the town. Don't worry everyone. Let this criminals downfall. Be the first step for you to rest in peace.
