  When we got back to base, Michael ran towards the nearest teacher who happened to be Emelda, and told her about the behemoth. She smiled at him and turned towards me.

  "A restless evil is stirring, getting stronger," she said, walking closer to me. "I myself can feel it, making the dark matter that courses through my veins twice as powerful as it once was. Even now I can feel it trying to break free. You are the only thing holding me back, Wyatt. Me and you could..."

  Harper loudly cleared her throat and dragged me off to the common room. Once we were in the door, she shoved me onto the couch.

  "What were you thinking!?" she yelled. "Why don't you ever turn her down? Don't you even care?"

  She turned on her heel and ran into her room crying. I watched her go, feeling a chorus of emotions ring through my body.

  Michael walked in and looked at me on the couch, sympathetic.

  "What'd I do?" I asked him.

  "It's not what you did, it's what you didn't do," Michael said, sitting across from me. "She's jealous of her. Scared would be the better term. Scared that Emelda will take you from her."

  "And what's that supposed to mean?"

  "It means she likes you, Wyatt," Michael said. "She loves you and doesn't want you hanging out with some other girl even IF it is to stop her from killing a bunch of people."

  I looked at Michael wondering when he had become so wise and knowledgeable about love. Years later when I asked him about it, he told me that he had been using an AI that was built into his flesh-watch, reading from a little speech it had cooked up.

  In that moment though, it was what I needed to hear. That night when I went to bed, I tossed and turned thinking about Harper and what I was going to do.

  The next morning was the last day of our weekend, so I decided to go do a little bit of training on the field outside our balcony. I didn't know why, I just felt like a good obstacle course.

  Once I got to my favorite obstacle, I started it before I realized that someone was already using it. It was Emelda.

  I tried to slink away but she saw me and ran over, tackling me with a hug.

  "Oh, Wyatt," she said, trying to kiss me on the cheek. "I love you, I love you, I love you."

  She tried to kiss me on the cheek again, but I pushed her away and told her to get off me. She backed away looking depressed. I felt bad but then I remembered Harper and recalled how this girl was just a monster. When I looked in her eyes I could see that the beast was fighting, struggling to get out. It was driving her insane.

  "I don't love you," I said as I walked away. "Leave me alone."

  Right as I said it I reached into my reserves and threw up a clear shield just in case. Darkness slammed into it and I stumbled.

  When I turned around, Emelda's eyes were pitch black and hatred was oozing out of her. I could feel the Dark Matter whispering of death into my ear.

  I quickly activated my armor and reinforced my shield. I was done letting her push me around. It was time to fight back.

  Immediately, I threw a spear of matter at her and watched in fear as her dark matter swallowed it up. Still, she stumbled a little bit so that was good.

  Then she tried to throw a spear at ME and I blocked it with a little bit of matter.

  At this point time felt like it was slowing down for me as hundreds of arrows of Dark Matter formed out of the air and fired at me. In half a second I broke into all three capsules that I hadn't broken into yet and let out a little bit of matter.

  The arrows dissipated without much effort at all and I still felt super powerful as a cyclone of pure, white matter was swirling around me. At this point Emelda was putting everything she had into me and my little cyclone was swallowing it up without too much effort.

  I felt like I had so many eyes as I watched kids coming out of their dorm rooms and fire their dark matter into my cyclone. The teachers even came and started to attack so that I started to waver.

  I sent out a ridiculous amount of matter at each teacher and it caused them all to collapse onto the ground. Even then I felt like I was going to burst from the pressure of energy forming inside me. I very well was about to kill myself with the amount of the stuff that I had tried to take on at one time.

  With some of my energy I put out Emelda like water hitting a little flame and used my power to blow through the top of the academy, hovering in space above it.

  My light was so bright at this point that you could literally see through the ground to the ocean under the surface.

  I was only sensing things as I felt machine guns and ships fly into my cacophony of matter. Nothing made it through.

  More and more matter joined the whirlwind until I realized that if any more escaped from me, I was going to blow the academy to shreds killing Harper and Michael.

  Finally, I reached out my senses and felt the large dark mass looming on the other side of the planet. I took all of my matter and tried my best to compress it into a little speck that I then threw towards the beast. The ground trembled as it hit the monster. With that done, I plunged down into the earth to avoid the bullets being shot at me.

  That night when I showed up in the cave the old man left me alone for some reason, even though I could feel that he was there watching me. That was fine though as I had a lot to think about.

  I wasn't sure that I even liked the power. What if it went to my head and I killed all my friends or something. The other thing I wasn't sure about was how I was using the matter in its pure form. What if it made me crazy and I started to kill everyone?

  As I thought about these things I felt a sensation come upon me of peace like it was telling me that the Matter wouldn't hurt me.

  With that lingering thought in my mind, I fell asleep.

  The next morning when I woke up I wasted no time in going up to the academy to check on Harper and Michael.

  As soon as I opened up the door, Harper was flying at me, tackling me to the floor with a hug. She literally had pinned me down onto the floor when she kissed me on the cheek leaving me staring into her eyes in shock.

  "I can't BELIEVE you," she said, her eyes shining with joy. "Did you really do that for me?"

  She went on to talk about how great I was at beating the crap out of Emelda and how I had absolutely destroyed her. She was just getting to the part about my little mini cyclone that I had created when the ground started to tremble.

  The whole building swayed and shook violently as I was thrown to the floor. After five minutes it stopped and I shakily got to my feet.

  "What in the world was that?" I said, incredulous. "They have earthquakes on this planet?"

  Michael shook his head.

  "I couldn't find anything on my flesh-watch," he said. "There is no record of any earthquake on Titan."

  "How long has this been going on?" I said.

  "Ever since you blasted that massive ball of matter into the sky," Harper said. "That thing caused the first tremble but I don't know why it hasn't stopped."

  I put my head into my hands and thought about it for a second. I came up empty. Who knew what it could be.

  "I could probably figure out what it is," Michael said and then got all quiet again.

  "What is it?" I said after a couple of minutes.

  "There is a control room in the academy that monitors all threats in the area," Michael said. "If you could break in there you should be able to see what is going on without too much trouble."

  I nodded my head. It should be easy enough. Walk in, walk out.

  "Isn't the security on that thing really tight though?" Harper said. "How's he going to get in there. Wyatt may be super powerful or whatever but he isn't exactly sneaky. Plus the warrant on his head has gotten quite a bit bigger after yesterday."

  I sighed and asked her how much bigger the warrant was. My eyes went wide when I heard her answer. I was considering turning MYSELF in now.

  "You really made quite the spectacle," Harper continued. "All the teachers combined couldn't make a dent in your little cyclone. They're scared, Wyatt. Really scared."

  I sighed because I knew that scared people can do desperate things much of which could probably get me killed.

  "Let's break into the control room then," I said. "And not think about these other things."

  Sadly, we couldn't do the actual operation until the weekend but I was going to go out and start collecting more matter in case I had to fight something again.

  That same night I went out with Harper and Michael to go track down some floadons. We were feeling good having tracked down some really big ones, when we stumbled upon one that was turning a horrible shade of black.

  "Get closer," I said looking at the camera from inside the airship. Harper and Michael were both looking over my shoulder, eyes wide. We had all seen this before when I had fought that floadon on the first day we had stumbled into the academy.

  "Can you get the matter from here?" Michael said. "I don't want to get the ship any closer. It's too risky."

  I reached out my consciousness and nabbed the matter the creature had and felt it sense that we were there. I looked down at the monitor and saw that the floadon had turned around to face us.

  "What'd you do?" Harper said looking at me with a panicked look in her eyes. I shrugged but then I felt what she must've been feeling.

  Fear. Hopelessness. Despair. Dread. All those feelings that I had felt when the dark lord's voice spoke in the ship with Austin were back. Not even the matter that I had could shield those feelings from me.

  As I looked at my friends, I realized that they were feeling this a whole lot worse than me. Probably tenfold. I was surprised they hadn't passed out yet.

  I looked away from them and faced the threat that was in front of me. Somehow, someway, the Dark Lord was on Titan. The man that had killed my parents, the man that had ripped my entire life away was here.

  I wanted to kill him.

  I broke into all of my reserves and felt myself grow with fiery passion and tangible power. I felt myself summoning my armor and bursting through the roof of the airship flying towards the floadon.

  Darkness came at me but I plunged right through it, my anger parting the darkness, plunging right towards the beast.

  I put Matter into my sword and felt it start to swell up to the point that I had to will it to stay and even then it was about to burst.

  Finally I got towards the skin of the floadon and plunged the sword in deep. Light exploded around me and suddenly I was flying through the air the opposite direction.

  I looked behind me at the creature, the beast and saw it exploding into a million pieces. I flew myself over to my ship and watched the carnage through the monitor.

  What I saw was not what I had expected to see.

  The floadon was in a million pieces but where the floadon had once been was a swirling cloud of darkness. A tangible, horrible being that shook the very foundation of existence.

  I found myself praying that it would go away because I knew deep inside that I was not ready to fight it yet.

  I held my breath as the creature slunk away into the forest below. I sunk back into the ship in relief. All the energy was taken out of me. That little encounter had been incredibly taxing on me and yet the actual thing I wanted to kill had gone untouched.

  Whatever I was doing right now, I had to step it up big time or else one day a fight would come and I would not be able to prevail.
