Chapter I: Tenno & Alex

        I’m glad that I got to spend the day with you., said Tenno. I’m glad you had a good time., said Alex. Tenno slightly looked at Alex. She’s so beautiful. I want to ask her to date me, but I just can’t say it., thought Tenno. Are we going back to your place?, asked Alex. Yeah, we can go to my place., said Tenno.

        The sun was setting. Tenno pulled out his key, and unlocked his door. Ladies first., said Tenno. Look at you being all nice., said Alex. Well, It’s an instinct., said Tenno. What? That doesn’t even… you know what, I don’t… nevermind. You’re so random., laughed Alex. Tenno laughed, and closed the door behind him.

        So, do you want to watch a movie?, asked Tenno. Yeah, sure., said Alex. Alex sat on the couch. Tenno walked to the kitchen. Tenno, I have a question for you., said Alex. Tenno looked over at Alex. Yeah, what is it?, asked Tenno. If you have a kid in the future, what would you name them?, asked Alex. What the hell! That’s the most random question!, thought Tenno. We’ll, what would you name them?, asked Alex. Oh, um… I’d probably name him after me. Tenno the second, or Tenno Jr., said Tenno.

        Really, you’d name him after yourself?, asked Alex. Probably not. I just kinda thought too fast., said Tenno. Tenno walked towards Alex with a bowl of popcorn. So, what would you really name your kid?, asked Alex. Hm, let me think., said Tenno. Tenno put the bowl of popcorn on the couch. What name would it be?, thought Tenno. Tenno put his finger in the air. Oh, I’d probably name him Kenno., said Tenno. Hm, that’s not too bad of a name. It’s just your name but replace the t with a k., said Alex. Tenno picked up the remote. Yeah. Anyways, what do you want to watch?, asked Tenno. I don’t know, what do you wanna watch?, asked Alex. Damn, she always pushed choices on me., thought Tenno. Tenno looked at the tv. Ooh, let’s watch Moonlight, that’s my favorite movie., said Alex.

Chapter II: Bedtime

        Alex. Hey, are you awake?, asked Tenno. Alex didn’t answer. Damn, it really took one hour for you to fall asleep., said Tenno. Alex was cuddled with Tenno. I need to use the bathroom, but she’s wrapped around me. If I try to move her, she’ll probably wake up., thought Tenno. Tenno slowly moved Alex’s arm. Sheesh, please don’t wake up., thought Tenno. Tenno slowly slipped out of her grasp.

        Ugh, finally. Now I can go to the bathroom., thought Tenno. Tenno walked to the bathroom. Tenno turned the lights on, and closed the door. Tenno looked in the mirror. Damn, I’m handsome., said Tenno. Tenno posed in the mirror. Look at me… oh I really do need to pee., said Tenno.

        Tenno left the bathroom. Man, I feel so much better., said Tenno. Tenno walked back to the couch. Still asleep. I guess I’ll bring her to my bed where It’s more comfortable., said Tenno. Tenno slowly picked Alex up. Alex began moving. Tenno froze up. Stop! Stop moving! I don’t want this to look weird!, thought Tenno. Alex stopped moving. Phew!, whispered Tenno.

        Tenno put Alex on the other side of his bed. Tenno turned around, and looked at the clock. Hm, It’s past eleven. I guess I’ll go to bed., said Tenno. Tenno took his shirt off, and threw it in the corner. Tenno sat on the bed, then laid down. I’m definitely forgetting to do something, but what is it?, thought Tenno. Tenno looked at the roof. No! I have to get up to turn the lights off., thought Tenno. Tenno grunted, and got up to turn off the lights.

        Tenno laid back down, and got under the covers. Tenno, thanks for putting me in bed., said Alex. Tenno jumped up. Ah!, shouted Tenno. What’s wrong?, asked Alex. You scared me! At least move around to let me know that you’re awake!, said Tenno. Oh, sorry., laughed Alex. Tenno laid back down. Goodnight., said Alex. Yeah, goodnight., said Tenno. Tenno and Alex closed their eyes.

Chapter III: Reunited

        Tenno opened his eyes. What is causing me to wake up? Why did I just wake up all of a sudden?, thought Tenno. Tenno looked over at his clock. It’s six in the morning. I don’t feel like I slept at all. I don’t even feel tired., thought Tenno. Tenno pushed the covers off, and sat up. I must be dreaming. I really don’t feel like I slept., thought Tenno. Tenno stood up, and walked to the bathroom.

        Tenno looked in the mirror. I can’t remember if the sun was rising, or if it was still dark. Why can’t I remember anything?, thought Tenno. Tenno left the bathroom, and walked to the kitchen.

        The ground began to rumble. What’s this? Why is the ground shaking? Is it a small earthquake?, thought Tenno. The ground rumbled even more. No, something bad is going to happen. I sense danger approaching., said Tenno. Tenno opened his drawer, and grabbed a large knife. Tenno put the knife behind his back.

        Tenno rushed to his room, pushing the door open. Alex!, shouted Tenno. Alex was already sitting up. Tenno, what’s going on? Is there an earthquake?, asked Alex. It can’t be. I sense danger coming., said Tenno. The rumbling got uncontrollable. Damn, get ready., said Tenno. Tenno pulled the knife out. Alex got out of bed, and ran towards Tenno.

        The window next to Tenno’s bed shattered. Two people jumped in the house. Hey! Get out! Who are you!, shouted Tenno. Another person jumped in the house. This person was different. They looked like they were on fire. Hello, Tenno. We meet again., said the person that looked like they were on fire. Who are you!, yelled Tenno. You really don’t remember me? I am Flamelurker. These two men are Vore and Tendo., said Flamelurker. Why are you here?, asked Tenno. Flamelurker began to laugh. Do you remember the Miashi attack? That whole attack was caused by me. I am responsible for trying to make the Genn family disappear., said Flamelurker.

Chapter IV: Target Acquired

        No… no it can’t be. You were the one to start this?, asked Tenno. Mhm, I wiped your entire family. All of the Genn’s were wiped out, except for a few of them., said Flamelurker. Who are the survivors? All I know is that nobody survived, and that’s what I’ll always believe., said Tenno. Well if that’s what you believe, there’s no point at telling you who lived., said Flamelurker. Flamelurker tapped on Vore and Tendo’s shoulder. The two men nodded, and walked towards Tenno and Alex.

        Alex, get out of here. I’ll hold them back., said Tenno. Can’t you use your Oni to wipe them?, asked Alex. I refuse to use that. I will only use it if I really need to., said Tenno. Vore pulled out a small blade. Come here, we just want the girl. We’ll allow you to live., said Vore. Hell no! If she goes, I’ll go., said Tenno.
