I wake up slowly, blurred vision, panting for my breath. I hear Alex, she’s yelling and fighting with all her might. She’s also… crying?

  Her team, all knocked out, some even lost their life in this battle. After watching Alex battle, I seem to forget I cannot help her.

  Why did it end up this way? Why did I have to be so useless? Why am I holding her back? WHY? WHY WHY WHY? …

  A purple aura emanates from my body, I feel a rush of energy surge through me. Alex turns and looks at me, as I glow purple. I can’t think, I move completely off instinct. I slowly get up, walk toward Alex and the Ogres. I look blankly at Alex, then at the Ogres, one looks directly back at me and the other swings its Axe at me.

  Alex yells, “WATCH OUT!”

  My head cocks towards her, then back to the ogre.. My hand reaches out and grabs the Axe that's swung at me, stopping it before it can hit me. The split second after catching it, I land a blow to the Ogre with my bare fist, sending it flying into a wall. I begin walking toward the second Ogre, it screams a battle cry and charges me. Balling its fist up, throwing a punch at me. I meet the Ogres fist with mine, sending a shockwave throughout the ruin awakening some of the team members that were knocked out. The Ogre throws another punch, me matching its moves I throw a second punch, this time with more power behind it. Sending another massive shockwave throughout the ruin as well as sending the Ogres arm off.

  As Alex and her team stares in shock, I throw one more punch at the Ogre, sending it flying into the other Ogre. Both now sitting there lifeless.

  Alex and her awake team members walk toward me, all with the look of confusion. Alex stares directly into my eyes and mutters, “Wha-” but that’s all I could hear before collapsing onto the ground.
