Tyson Gale was having a calm, uneventful stroll in the park after unpacking all his things in his dorm. His thumbs were hooked nonchalantly in his pants' front pockets and he had an overall laid back stature. He looked around casually from behind his aviators. Some people in silly looking red and blue hats were beginning a snow ball fight off to Ty's right. A man was proposing to his expectedly glowing and excited now-fiancée off to Ty's left.

Two days ago, he would've had to worry about receiving a worried call from his mother asking where he was and what he was doing. Upon thinking that, Ty was overcome by a wave of freedom. He didn't have to listen to his parents's every word and wait on them hand and foot anymore since they were 6760 miles away.

Ty's heart surged and his head rushed with the freedom. He wanted to scream triumphantly and would have, had his body not started tingling and the man proposing to his girlfriend suddenly turned into a monster eying the girlfriend hungrily. Ty swallowed and felt his pupils dilate in fear.

He made for the nearest bench. He sat in it and slumped forward and clenched his head. He started rocking back and forth, his slightly bulky winter coat making crinkling noises as he moved. If one looked close enough at his shoes, they would be able to see the vague outline of clenched toes.

He began quietly mumbling to himself too. No one around would be able to hear it, but even if they could, all they would hear would be unintelligible, incoherent babbling. It would seem random to any passerby, but if someone listened long enough and paid enough attention, they would discover the sounds were being repeated.

What Ty had begun seeing, anyone else would classify as an LSD trip. Ty, on the other hand, recognized it for what it was. He was having an anxiety attack and his illusions were getting out of control and backlashing. The illusions were nothing defined, such as a tree being on fire, but things were simply mildly or wildly distorted from their true appearance. So instead of looking at the nauseating images, Ty had his eyes closed tight.

Ty's vision wasn't the only thing affected; far from it. All four other senses were acting up as well. The string of sounds Ty was mumbling were actually sounds Ty was hearing. His senses of taste and smell tasted and smelled random things. Sometimes they were pleasant, sometimes they were worse than sewage.

But the actual physical sensations Ty was feeling were the worst. Nothing Ty could do could numb those. The sensations ranged from pure ecstasy all the way to excruciating pain. At both extremes, Ty had to resist the urge to scream which was why he was repeating the sounds he heard with astonishing accuracy and quickness.

Ty wanted desperately for someone to pierce through the veil of illusions and interact with him because that was the only way he could come back to reality in a timely manner. Of course, someone could be trying to see if he was okay now but he wouldn't know. His perception of the outside world was completely skewed.

Balls, Ty through through the illusory haze. Not again.

A few moments after that Ty would find something hard planted over the back of his head. If he even bothered to examine it my touching it, he'd feel something like a flat piece of metal, plastered under a big piece of something leathery. Had he decided to investigate even further, scratching the flat part of the metal material would yield some soil remains. Well, look no further because-

Izumi with his hood on was standing there behind the bench, one of his foot on top of the seemingly despairing kid's head. While to others this may be considered rude, unnatural and stupid, to him, it's a way of alleviating boredom, randomly pissing people off. Of course, he had absolutely no idea on how the guy in the bench would react. And that's the thrill of it. "Don't mind me. Just needed a place to rest my legs. Been walking for miles," He said nonchalantly.

((Sorry it's taken so long. I've been busy.))

The outside world abruptly rushed back to Ty as he was gracelessly shoved forward by someone's foot. Everything twisted and whirled and distorted back into place in nauseating fashion. Ty felt dizzy for a brief moment and choked back bile. He blinked and pushed his sunglasses back up his nose.

He grasped the leg sprouting from the boot and pulled it off his head and stood up. To his dismay, he heard rocks and clumps of dirt fall onto the bench. His heart fluttered slightly and threatened to give him another attack. He took a deep breath to calm himself. "Watch the hair, douche bag," he said.

Ty turned around and looked Izumi in the face. Ty's glasses obscured his studying eyes. The kid was short, probably a first or second year. Judging from the look on the kid's face, he was taking some delight from this which, in turn, suggested he did it a lot. Ty's eyes narrowed defensively.

Ty brushed off the back of his head with one hand and stuck the other halfway in his pants' pocket to try and warm up his fingers. The other hand followed shortly after. "I supposed I have to thank you for saving me from myself then, huh?" he said.

The expectant grin dropped from his face as he got a 'thank you' instead of the more usual and expected RAEG. "You're boring," He said, as he hopped over the bench and dropped himself on it, crossing his legs and arms with a look of disappointment on his face. "I did that for some thrill and you had to ruin it with such lackluster response," A big and so very obvious sigh escaped his mouth. "Granted, it's not normal to have someone thanking you for resting a foot on their head, so I suppose that's a bit intriguing. What's the matter, girlfriend cheated on your?" He said, followed by a sardonic snicker.

Ty eyed Izumi dubiously. Apparently, Izumi had wanted Ty to react badly. Ty shoved down a mischievous grin; now he had all the more reason to be bland and boring. He considered something for a moment. After I blow off some steam about these goddamned powers, he thought.

Ty sat down carefully and slowly and crossed his hands in his lap. He even managed his face into a placated mask. "Nothing too big. Just illusion powers that take any opportunity to backfire," he said in a monotone. "Boring ol' stuff like that."

...Well that just completely subverted any attempts at being boring and bland. Nothing more standoffish than a guy talking about his powers like they're an every day thing, he thought. With that thought in mind, Ty threw his arms back to rest on the back of the bench and crossed his right leg over his left and otherwise just making kind of a big deal out of himself.

"Hurm...? Illusion?" He wondered, stroking his chin pensively. That was actually kinda new to him, seeing as he had never met any illusion based powers before. Despite having met with a helluva lot of power users since he got here. Maybe it's just him. Or maybe... they're actually using their illusion powers right now, hiding their existence from everyone in the whole world, plotting devious plans to take over the entire galaxy!

He laughed off the thought. That's just stupid, while being actually kinda plausible.

"Now, you said something about an illusion power backfiring," Said Izumi, as he raised his palm over his head. "And, if I remember the general rule of illusion (that is, something I made up), if the victim's disturbed by something from the real world, the illusion would break," He said with a strangely cheery and innocent voice, but accompanying it was a malevolent and sadistic aura. "Don't mind me, my hand slipped,"

The moment he said that his hand, no. More like his FIST flung to the side with as much force as a roundhouse kick aiming to dent the guy's nose.

Whaaaat? He's just helping him out with his backfiring illusion power problem~

Ty leaned back to avoid Izumi's hand. His mouth twisted into a shape that conveyed his growing contempt for the boy. His eyes likely did a mysterious transformation too.

And they did. Izumi even got to see them because Ty didn't lean back far enough and got his glasses knocked off.

The force of the swing alone warped them slightly and popped one of the lenses out of its frame. Hitting the ground cracked the one still in the frame and the free lens skidded across the ground. Of course, that was all omniscient observation from the writer since Ty stopped paying attention after he felt his glasses move at all.

The look of contempt had quickly changed into one of anger. Ty latched on to Izumi's wrist and made solid eye contact with Izumi.

The ground began shaking violently. Ty released his grasp on Izumi and walked away after scooping up the remains of his glasses and walking away. The group of people beginning a snow ball fight ran scared; as did everyone else in the park. However, Izumi would find himself frozen in place if he tried to move.

With one large tremor, the ground beneath the bench yawned open and Izumi and the bench fell in. At this point, Izumi once more had full control over his body so he could fully experience the helplessness of free fall.

The depths of the chasm rumbled. The chasm belched lava up from its depths which quickly engulfed Izumi and did all the stuff lava does to a human.

Meanwhile, back in reality, Ty sat uneventfully on the bench holding some random kid's wrist and staring deeply into the kid's eyes. It actually looked sort of creepy and pedophilic.

Ah. He never expected it to be that easy, anyway. But from the looks of it, he did 'help' him. See? He's all angry and pissed off that Izumi tried to throw a fist right at his face. Well, he did complain a bit about his illusion powers backfiring and all. So, taking his minds off for something like taking revenge must've helped him suppress the illusion powers gone wild, right? Oh, he is such a good person-

The ground rumbled, everyone around scampered from the place in fright, there was a sudden air of danger and urgency. No way, an earthquake, right now? No doubt, Japan is very prone to earthquake, but for it to happen right here, right now? This is bad right? Of course it is. Is there really any reason to ask? Initial response would be to run, but there's really no where to run to in an earthquake. It's moot, wherever you go. In fact it might as well be better to just stay in the open like this.

Not to mention, he couldn't move even if he wanted to. And WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING? He wanted to scream out to the retreating figure of the seventeen year old boy, but, yeah. his body is completely frozen, to the point that he couldn't even move his lips. ...hold on, isn't it kinda strange...?

He didn't have time to dwell on that thought, because a large chasm suddenly formed right under him with a powerful and deafening roar. He couldn't even react, he couldn't even jump out of the way. The only option was to fall through the endless abyss, not even able to scream out of shock. He was falling, falling... into a pit of lava... it was hot, hothothothothot... he was burning, melting... he's dying... dying.. dy-

"OKAY, YOU WENT TOO FAR!!!"


Out of pure willpower he wrenched himself back into reality, and wrenched his hand away from the grip of the seventeen year old boy, brought it up over his head, and this time, swung it down with as much force as a sledgehammer right on his head to smash his skulls and hopefully mash his brains as well. "You really think something half-assed like that is gonna fool me?!" Well, it wasn't really that hard to realize it's an illusion. It's just the process of realizing it that's hard, what with being far too preoccupied with whatever he's feeling. The overwhelming pain and fear was used to mask the effect of reality discrepancy. Realize, that NO ONE, would walk about so nonchalantly in an earthquake like that. And he was SUPPOSED TO DIE, the moment he fell into the lava pit.

He was breathing heavily, panting, even. He was sweating profusely, no doubt from the heat sensation he got from the lava. But some of it was cold sweat and his body was shaking slightly. That was frikkin' terrifying, but he's not gonna actually admit that. And right now, he's not feeling fear, he's feeling anger as well.

When Izumi's hand went into the air, Ty rolled off onto the ground. His shoulder shouted dully in pain when it slammed into the ground, but Ty figured that was better than being hit by Izumi after what he did to Ty's glasses. He rolled onto his feet and stood up, brushing his arm off. He unzipped his jacket slightly and casually retrieved another pair of aviators and put them on and zipped his jacket back up.

"Don't touch the glasses," Ty said threateningly. "But really, you think it mattered if you broke free of that? I mean, all I really wanted was for you to experience pain." Ty thought of something for a moment. "For that matter, what even happened to you? I didn't really think past "pain"."

Meanwhile, somewhere deep in the recesses of Ty's brain, Ty was thinking he had some seriously fucked up priorities.
