I glanced over towards Mike, who was shaking his head in thought. The path towards the hillside was nothing major, but considering the police...clearly he felt that it was complicated.

"Mike, c'mon..." I sighed, gripping his arm and tugging at it. "Let's just go." All he could do was shake his head with a heavy sigh.

"I can't, I dunno why..." He lead me over to a rock where we ducked, as he began to explain. "I just feel like something's preventing me from leaving until the cops move." We sat and waited for a few more hours, before one officer's eyes closed, just sighing and shaking his head in frustration.

"No one's gonna steal a big flamin' rock," he said, "Let's get out of here." His partner agreeing, and they began their quick trek south towards the station within the commercial section of Onett. Grabing my hand, we snuck to the side, a soft humming sounding out behind us.

"Mike," I whispered in a nervous tone. "D..do you hear that?" He nodded slowly as the drone grew louder, deeper. A small burst of light shot out from the gravel, as a tiny insect scattered the pebbles that came with it.

"It's some kind of Super-Bee!" Mike exclaimed quietly, clearly as astonished as I.

"A bee I am not." the insect responded, beginning a tale of how he came. "I am from ten years in the future. And in the future, all is devastation..." And then the bug began about a chosen boy, and how he believed that Mike was the chosen boy of the story. It then began about the Gigyas, and clearly Mike's memory clicked around when this part was told.

"Hey, you told that SAME story to Ness, who apparently did this years ago!" The bug shook its head, and said he knew nothing of a Ness. "But I'm positive I've heard that story before..."

I eventually lost concentration on the conversation between this bee and Mike, only before Mike looked to me and nodded. I turned, to see a stray dog, just snarling at us. It lunged at me, but a smack to the head stopped it and knocked it to the pavement...yet it only temporarily stunned it. A moment passed before it was back on its feet. Mike slammed the stick he grabbed down on it, and with a mild whimpered was snarling once more. Lunging at us again, I slammed a side kick into the animal's stomache, which finally then set it running off. Mike smiled as I grinned lightly.

"See? Told you these muscles weren't just for show.." I said, making a quick flex as he kissed my lips.

"Thanks, 'Xena'..." We then turned and walked towards the hill, the grass damp with dew. By the looks of it, Mike almost forgot about Buzzbuzz.

"GO NO FURTHER." a machine-operated voice boomed. My bones were chilled by this deepness. "YOU SHALL NOT PASS THIS CHECKPOINT."

"Don't take him so lightly," Buzzbuzz explained, "He's a Starman."

"Oh," Mike said sarcastically, smirking. "So if I touch him, I become invicible?" I lightly chuckled for the Super Mario reference he made.

"Not quite..." he answered, clearly peeved deep down. "If you touch it, you'll be incinerated by his Fire PSI."

"His Fire....wha-now?" I asked, clearly confused. A flame burst above my head, as Buzzbuzz dashed in front of his, raising his small arms and grumbling.

"THAT." the Starman answered, clearly taunting me for my 'ignorance'. "PSI SHIELD GAMMA!" By that, we were all enveloped in a bright light. "I WILL NOT GO EASY ON YOU." I was confused now. This Starman had telekinetic abilities...and I'll be burned if I attempted anything physical. Gulping, I stepped back, almost not knowing what to do in this living hell.
