Chapter 2

“Well, here we are.”

The four young men were standing outside the airport, looking around at the small but beautiful land of Hawaii.

None of them had any luggage or personal belongings, only the clothing that they were currently wearing on their bodies.

“What should we do first?” Joan asked.

“Find a place to stay. Get some new clothes.” Tristan replied.

“Sounds like a plan.” Kenny said afterwards.

Jordan looked around, almost unbelieving that he was in the beautiful place he was in.

“Well I guess we gotta get going then. Can’t just stand around here forever.” Tristan said as he began to walk forward a few steps, then stopped and looked around.

“You have no idea where you’re going do you?” Kenny asked.

“No I do not.” Tristan replied.

“And here I was thinking you were some rich kid who had traveled the whole world.” Kenny said in a teasing tone.

“Oh please. I’ve been to Hawaii before, just not this island.” He replied.

“Way to brag.” Kenny joked.

Tristan pulled out his cellphone and began to type away, then lifted the phone to his ear.

“Who are you calling?” Joan asked.

Tristan held his finger up, the others all staying silent.

“Henry? It’s Tristan. No I’m not…well it’s complicated. Is the beach house available? Alright, thank you. We are at the Hana Airport. Yes I know. I know Henry. Take your time. There is no rush. Alright, that sounds perfect.”

Tristan hung up the phone.

“And?” Kenny asked.

“Butler is coming to get us next week so we can stay at a family beach house. Until then, we are here for a week.”

Tristan looked at Kenny and Joan standing shoulder to shoulder.

“Um…where’s Jordan?” Tristan asked.

Kenny and Joan both began to look around.

“He must’ve wandered off.” Joan said.

“Well we need to go find him.” Kenny replied.

“Why? I’m not his parent.” Tristan said.

“Because we should stick together until we get settled.” Kenny replied.

“Oh my God I did not plan on being a babysitter when we did this.” Tristan complained.

“Well too bad. We gotta find him.” Kenny said, taking off in one direction. Joan began to follow him until Kenny stopped.

“No, I go this way. You go that way.” Kenny pointed the opposite direction.

“Oh yeah, right.” Joan replied, turning around and walking quickly.

“I’m buying leashes for all of you.” Tristan said loudly as he turned around.

He took a few steps before bumping into two young men, dressed in leather outfits and looking seductively at Tristan.

“Nope. Not dealing with this.” Tristan turned around and began to walk quickly, typing on his phone as he did.

Jordan was wandering around the empty fields surrounding the small airport. He continued to walk aimlessly, unsure of where to go or what to do.

He eventually made his way to an area with beautiful trees and flowers. He walked into the covering quietly, looking around at the beauty.

The flowers were all sorts of colors and shapes, creating a beautiful field for him to admire.

Jordan reached out, feeling the flowers brush against his skin.

But as Jordan reached out, he could feel something strange happening in his body.

His eyes began to glow, his reaction seeming to become afraid and nervous as they did.

It didn’t make sense to him.

Lightning suddenly fired out from his hand, hitting the flowers and exploding into a violent burst of flames that sent him flying back.

Jordan was breathing very quickly, hyperventilating from fear and nervousness as he panicked, looking around.

There was a small, poorly maintained metal building nearby.

Jordan got up and ran to it as quickly as he could.

“Please! Help! There’s a fire!” He shouted as he ran through the front door.

The building was empty, nothing inside but a rundown room with a torn up floor, a wall missing, and holes in the roof.

Jordan was breathing even faster and shorter breaths, beginning to stumble as he grew more and more light headed.

“I need…need to find…a way…to help.”

Jordan fell over, sitting against the wall as his eyes began to water and his body began to shake.

He pulled his knees close to his chest, struggling to handle what had happened.

Tristan was walking around aimlessly, looking for something or someone to help him find Jordan.

Tristan sighed and began to scroll through his phone as he walked.

“Jordan, where are you?” He said not too loudly, as if faking that he was trying.

Tristan yawned, stopping and looking as if he was about to lay down on the ground.

But then he could smell something.

Something burning.

He looked up to see a massive cloud of black smoke overtaking the sky, blocking out the beautiful and serene blue. It overtook the white clouds and corrupted them into the same dark tint.

“Uh oh.” Tristan said softly.

Kenny was speed walking quickly, determined to find Jordan.

“Jordan!” He said loudly, looking around as he walked along the edge of a cliff, looking over and into the ocean just to be safe.

“Jordan! You here buddy?” He continued to yell.

As Kenny walked around, he kept looking out onto the silent ocean with the waves hitting the rock in an almost muted way.

He smiled, never thinking he would see such a beautiful view in his life.

“Well, this sure does feel nice.” He said softly, smiling before continuing to walk.

“Jordan!” He shouted.

He turned to look away from the coast, freezing as he saw a massive pillar of black smoke shooting into the air.

“Oh shit.” Kenny said, immediately taking off running as quickly as he could.

Joan was walking a different direction, continuing to walk towards a small beach full of people.

He immediately froze and looked around, thinking about turning around and walking back.

He swallowed hard and put his hands into his pockets as deep as he could.

“Alright…do it for Jordan.” He whispered.

Joan began to walk, going onto the sand which was dark, almost black with a large amount of black rocks everywhere.

Children were running around and loudly cheering and laughing.

Teenagers were loudly talking and laughing.

Everyone was in swim trunks and bikinis, showing a lot of skin while Joan was wearing dark blue jeans and a t-shirt.

He wasn’t looking at any of the people as he walked by.

He just looked down at the dark sand and moved.

“Woah! What’s that?” Somebody shouted loudly.

Joan was confused and lifted his gaze to see everyone facing the direction he came from. He slowly turned around, seeing a massive cloud of black smoke reaching up into the sky.

Joan’s face dropped and his eyes went wide.

People didn’t run away, instead standing still and staring at the massive plume of smoke.

Joan immediately began to sprint as quickly as he could towards the smoke.

Tristan made it to the large area of trees, flowers, and bushes all being consumed by a massive fire. The fire had expanded to the size of a football field, everything inside being turned to ash.

Tristan cracked his neck and closed his eyes to concentrate.

“What the **** is going on?” Kenny suddenly shouted.

Tristan groaned and opened his eyes, annoyed.

“It’s a giant fire dumbass! Can’t you see?” Tristan shouted back.

Tristan closed his eyes to focus again.

“Where’s Jordan?” Kenny shouted.

Tristan ignored him at first.

“Where is he?” Kenny shouted again as he walked closer to him.

“I don’t know man! Now shut up so I can put this fire out!” Kenny screamed.

Kenny sighed and looked around, seeing the abandoned building and quickly running to it.

Tristan’s eyes began to glow through his eyelids as he took long and deep breaths.

The flames were slowly beginning to shrink in size.

The hydrogen being drained out and pushing all of the air out with it, creating a growing vacuum that the fire began to die inside.

Tristan was taking more and longer, deeper breaths as he tried to focus with everything he had.

As he was using his power, his body was slowly beginning to grow thinner. His muscles were shrinking rapidly as his breathing began to hesitate and struggle.

“Fuck…” He groaned quietly.

Tristan had created a full vacuum, the fire almost completely gone as he kept the air out, a sphere of hydrogen blocking everything else.

“Tristan!” Joan shouted, grabbing Tristan as a way to slow him down from his fast running.

Tristan was forced forward from the force, his concentration broken as the sphere suddenly collapsed.

All of the air quickly rushed in, a massive explosion of fire and hot air rushing out in every direction. The forceful shockwave sent both Tristan and Joan flying back as the fire was now suddenly three times larger, a massive and uncontrollable flame overtaking everything nearby.

Inside of the abandoned building, Kenny ran inside and looked around.

“Well, that’s good. Nobody…”

Kenny turned and was about to run out the door again, but spotted Jordan curled up in a ball against the wall and on the floor.

“Jordan?” He shouted.

The building was suddenly consumed by a massive shockwave of hot air, the building shaking and the roof collapsing in on itself. The flame had grown large enough that it was beginning to overtake the wooden and metal as Kenny groaned. He turned to see the entire side of the house being obscured by a wall of flames. He looked around before seeing his hands on the dirty, concrete foundation of a floor.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. They began to glow through his eyelids when his entire body turned into concrete. He stood up just as the roof collapsed over him, the hot metal and wood breaking over his hard body. He ran to Jordan, who was still curled into an anxious ball.

“We gotta go!” Kenny screamed, picking Jordan up.

Jordan was balling heavily as he put his arm around Kenny’s shoulders.

He struggled to walk, his emotions so hard and heavy that they were weighing him down.

Kenny ran through the safe side of the building, through the missing wall and into the field.

He turned to see Tristan and Joan arguing and almost fighting as the fire grew larger and larger every second.

“God damn it!” Kenny shouted, picking Jordan up fully onto his back before running quickly.

“I had it under control !” Tristan screamed.

“I said I’m sorry!” Joan shouted back.

Tristan was getting red both from anger and the heat hitting his skin.

“Go away!” Tristan shouted.

Joan went silent and stepped back as Tristan looked at the giant inferno.

“Fuck. Okay, I have an idea.” Tristan said as he shut his eyes.

He was reaching back to the ocean, the waves beginning to move more aggressively and rapidly, The water began to group together and pull away from the shore, collecting together into a massive wave that was sitting still. Tristan began to move the wall closer to the land and fire, the wave racing at a high speed.

“What are you doing?” Kenny shouted.

Tristan gritted his teeth as he tried to keep his focus.

“Tristan is trying to put the flame out!” Joan shouted.

Tristan shut his eyes as tightly as he could.

His muscles were draining away so quickly as he was straining himself further than ever before.

The massive wave was beginning to block out the clean sky.

The sky became half black, hellish darkness. And the other half a shimmering and heavenly glow as the Sun reflected off the water moving through the air.

“AHHHHH!” Tristan screamed as the wave reached higher into the sky.

The people at the beach all screamed at the tidal wave seeming to come out of nowhere, trying their best to run to safety.

The massive wave finally crashed down violently, completely submerging the half of the island, the water racing to the Red Hill and Waihou Spring Trail, the water ending and sitting as still, harmless puddles.

But behind the limit, everything was buried under miles and miles of water.

The water very quickly raced back to the ocean, things becoming uncovered in about a minute.

Everyone was coughing violently.

Fish and other sea life were covering the ground, flopping around before quickly dying.

Kenny coughed hard, his body still concrete but soaked completely through. Kenny groaned as his body began to stiffen, preventing him from moving until he forced his body back to normal, collapsing to the ground and gasping for air.

Joan and Jordan were both violently coughing and vomiting the ocean water from their lungs.

Tristan was laying on the ground, his body incredibly thin and slender, almost like a skeleton laying on the soaking wet ground with flopping fish surrounding him.

The innocent citizens on the beach were all gasping and coughing violently.

Well, at least the ones that weren’t lying on the coast unmoving and unbreathing.

A massive fire that was spreading rapidly, immediately followed by half an island suddenly submerged under the ocean.
