Mia Ikati: Origins

Mia violently coughs up blood as he flies back. Slamming through some trees and stopping against a rock. His eyes feel heavy as his throat is sore. He grits his teeth as he lays there unable to move.

"I really… Can't do anything… Can I?" Tears well up in his eyes as he slowly rises standing. His whole-body creaks in pain as he stands. A dominating aura in front of him as he wobbles a bit.

"Just because I'm weak… doesn't mean I should stop trying!" Mia bolts forward appearing beside the villain. His fist glows bright orange before becoming engulfed in blue flames. He swings his fist as the person grabs it. Mia's mouth violently fills with blood as he vomits it out. A hole ripped through the right side of his lower abdomen. Rapidly bleeding out.

"I guess… I can't… Win… Against you Akio…" Mia's eyes water as he falls to the ground. Looking up at a seemingly insane person his age. Mia's long blue hair flowing as he hits the ground. Akio had long white hair and a maniacal glare from his bloodshot eyes.

"How… did it… turn out like this…?" Mia's eyes slowly start losing their color as memories flash before his eyes.

"I guess… My life is flashing before my eyes… That must mean… this is the end for me…"

Mia's eyes jolt open as tears roll down his cheeks. He sits there as he looks around. Mia is sitting in the nurse's room. The preschool nurse walked into the room.

"Glad to see you awake… I was really concerned when I got a call from your teacher saying she found you passed out on the floor… What happened?" Mia sits on the edge of the bed as he looks at the nurse.

"I had this really bad headache… That's all I remember…" The nurse sits on the bed beside him. Sitting silently for a moment or two.

"Did you have a bad dream?... You seem slightly shaken up Mia?" Mia slowly nods his head.

"I was… actually… I can't even remember it…" There was silence as the nurse stood.

"Well then… Why don't we get you back to class?" Mia slowly nods as the nurse helps him down and the two walk out. Mia looks up at the nurse. Her long hair dyed pink contrasting her brown eyes.

Mia walks into the classroom as the Nurse walks over to talk with the teacher. Mia looks over and sees a new kid sitting in the corner of the classroom alone. His hair was black as he had dark dry eyes. He had tanned skin and a simple baggy T-shirt on. His hair combed to the left.

"Hi... w-what's your name?" Mia looked at the boy facing the ground. There was a long silence.

"You're not… afraid of me?" He looked up with dry eyes. Mia smiling brightly.

"No, Just cause you're sitting alone doesn't mean you yourself aren't nice..." The kid smiled slightly and looked back down.

"Right… M-my name is… Rue Achlys" It seemed as though he didn't like his name so Mia responded as he saw fit.

"Ok then, Nohan!" He smiled at his new 'best' friend who finally smiled.

"I guess we're friends now? Kat?..." They kept laughing at each other. Mia slightly confused by the new nickname.

"Thank you…" 

The nurse walks out as the teacher stands. She had long black hair and glasses over her blue eyes. Mia always wondered why he was so observant of people's appearances.

"Okay guys, it's time for lunch… Line up so we can head out" Everyone quickly rushes over to the teacher as Mia extends his hand out to Rue. Rue standing up by himself and walking away. Mia looks slightly confused as he runs over.

Mia sits at a table with Rue as the two eat in silence.

"Hey, mind if I have your apple juice?" Mia grabs his juice and turns around.

"Sure… here you go-" The girl knocks it out of his hand and onto the floor. The juice spilling out. Mia's eyes widen as tears form.

"What did you do that for-" Mia recognizes Chloe as she pushes him off of his seat and onto the floor. Mia's eyes widen as she jumps on top of him and punches him. Mia lets her hit him again before realizing everyone was watching. Mia quickly pushed her off of him. Chloe stumbles to her feet.

"What the-" Mia rises to his feet as he gulps. Getting into a fighting stance reminiscent of his father. Chloe's eyes widen as Mia steps forward. Mia copying his dad's punching form. flames spark off of Mia as his eyes go blank. Mia goes for the punch as everything freezes. Chloe barely dodges as Mia misses Chloe. In an instant all of the furniture flies into the wall knocking the kids sitting there to the ground. Mia's hair floats backwards as he falls to the ground with a headache. Chloe falls backwards in shock.

"What just… happened?" Rue was in shock at Mia and rushing over to him.

"He's just like me…" Rue clenches his fist on the floor as it slightly glows. The glow disappears as several teachers run over.
