Krimzon Knight:Act One:Dead
The school bell rang,dismissing the students,all with plans of things to do with their time.Our story begins here,as we follow our unlikely hero,15 year old Kyo.

* * *

Kyo is at a crossroads.He has a choice to make.He wanted to go to the local arcade with his friends.On the other hand,he was always told to go home from school to his mother.He was having to decide between right and wrong.

"She doesn't need me.Kyo said to himself,"but i dont want to disobey her.It will only be a couple minutes.There will be no harm in doing it, right?"Kyo stopped walking and turned around.He stared at the clock in the middle of the school that said 5:00."I'll leave now and be home by 5:45 after 30 minutes of playing.I mean what is the harm in leaving for a few minutes?"With that thought,he left for the arcade.He never knew how wrong he was.

* * *

Summer was washing dishes.After finishing washing the pile of dishes in the sink,she turned around and looked to check the clock to see the time.It said 5:20.This worried her.

"Where could Kyo be?He's usually here by 5:10,"she said.Summer was Kyo's mother.She had blonde hair down to the middle of her back.She was 31 years old and as beautiful as a rose.Obviously Summer wasn't Kyo's blood mother.She adopted him when he was 2.She has cared for him making sure he is safe and always happy."Well,"she said,"maybe its time for him to get some responsibility.He is old now and I have been a little over-protective of him."

Summer began organizing the dinner table.She was bout to put a flower in a vase on the table,when she heard a knock on the door.She went to the door still carrying the vase.She opened the door and saw a woman standing there in a black cloak.It was 5:30 at the time.

"May i help you,"Summer said.

The woman raised a gun."I'm sorry,Summer."

Kyo was glad to have come to be with his friends.It was great just playing games and not doing chores.It was too great.Kyo had so much fun he lost track of time.The time was 5:35 and to make it on time,he'd have to leave then.So he left for his house.

Kyo ran out of the arcade and onward home.He knew he could make it if he ran.He passed street corner after street corner until he looked at his watch.He was making good time and was only five minutes away.Since he was making good time,he stopped to catch his breath.Suddenly,two cop cars sped past him and towards his own house.Seeing this,Kyo forgot how exhausted he was and ran home.

When he got to his house,he saw a crowd there."Why are there so many people here?Mom,"he yelled,trying to find her."Let me through!"he yelled as he tried to get past the flock of people.Kyo saw an officer there and asked,"What has happened here?Why are there so many people on my lawn?"

"I'm sorry.You might want to go inside and check this out,"the officer said with a grim face.

Hearing this,Kyo ran inside and prepared for the worst.He slipped and almost fell.He looked down to see what the problem was.What he saw was gruesome and terrible.the thing he almost slipped on was blood.The blood came from a body at the center of the splatter.Kyo found Summer at the center of the pool of blood next a broke vase on the floor.He couldn't believe his eyes.Kyo fell down to his knees in the puddle of blood and looked at the body.It had 8 gun shots in it.Kyo got up and ran.He just wanted to run far from that place.The memories of his childhood were just flashing back to him.As Kyo ran,he cried.Kyo ran to a cave in an inactive volcano.This was where he would usually go when he was feeling down or a disaster happened and he needed to think alone.

* * *

Kyo sat down on the floor in the cave.He couldn't believe what he saw there at his house.Kyo was trying to block out the image of her body but he couldn't.

Kyo screamed,"Why did you have to leave me!Why did you die?!Why wasn't i there to protect you?!I should've been there for you,mom."Kyo burst into tears about what happened.Suddenly,a pice of the wall next to him broke off and lava came out."Looks like I'll join you very shortly mom.It's my turn to kick the bucket now,"Kyo said.

"Are you really in that much of a hurry to die,young man,"asked a mysterious voice.

"What the hell just said that,"yelled Kyo.

"Watch your language Kyo,"yelled the mysterious voice,"I am the great Ghani and I am going to give you a choice.You can die here in the lava,or you can agree to my offer.Hold on a second though."With that said,Ghani snapped into vision and could be seen by Kyo.Ghani was an old woman with many beads and necklaces around her.She wore blue jeans and a black shirt.She had a bandana covering her white hair.

Kyo replied,"Ok.What is your offer?"

"I ask that you save my world.I can bless you with the powers to do it.I'll save you but you must save a world,"said Ghani.

"And if i say no,"asked Kyo smugly.

Ghani snapped her fingers and the lava continued to flow once again.."I guess you do want to die then."

"Ok.I'll join now how are you going to save me?"

Ghani grinned,"Close your eyes and dont think about the lava i guess."

"What?!Noooooo,"yelled Kyo but it was too late.Kyo was now engulfed in the lava.
