I wake up staring at my alarm clock, which reads 6 o'clock.
"Woke up early today, I guess," I say out loud. I can go to the corner store and buy some snacks before I get to school," I say to myself groggily, getting out of bed. I brush my teeth, shower, comb my hair, and wear clothes. I slowly walk down the stairs and put on my shoes. After getting ready, I grabbed my bike, kicked up the stand, and got moving. I glanced at my watch; the time was 6:30. While on my bike in the morning, I always loved taking a break to watch the sunrise. The sunrise, sunset, and stars were always beautiful if you took the time to adore them.
While on the way, I saw a little girl being chased by a huge dog. At first, I thought it was a wolf, so I rushed in and threw the bike at the dog to gain attention. The dog started to chase me, so I ran to the alleyway and jumped from wall to wall to the roof. I checked to see if the girl was gone, and she was. So I sat and watched the sunrise until the dog left.
"Why was there a random wolf in the street' I jumped down and hopped back on my bike, then rode to the store. I walked in and picked up the things I wanted
"Is that all?" The cashier said in a rather laconic tone. I grabbed a candy bar and a sweet and refreshing watermelon iced tea.
"Just these," I say
"That will be 2 dollars." I handed him two bucks and took my leave. On my way out, I bump into an old guy. He looks about 20 years older than me. The man was dressed in all black with a ski mask over his face, and in the corner of my eye, I saw a shiny metallic surface in his hand. My mind raced 300 miles per minute.
"What am I going to do? Can I fight him? What if I get somebody killed? What if I get myself killed? I don't want to die!"
"Stay right here," he says with a quiet but commanding tone, and that snapped me out of my shock.
A knot forms in my throat, and my heart beats in the rhythm of my thoughts racing at 500 miles per hour, tears start to build in my eyes.
" I don't want to die," I mumble. I started hyperventilating, I could barely gather my thoughts, let alone catch my breath. Out of nowhere, the man begins laughing maniacally; he throws off his mask. He is a white guy with black hair. The look in his eyes was horrifying. There was a bomb strapped to his face. The man had a flow of tears gushing down his face, and when I looked at the gun again, it was bolted to his hand. When I finally gathered my thoughts, I looked at the cashier; he seemed about 16 and was frozen with fear. I screamed at him, telling him to run. I saw a timer on the bomb out of the corner of my eye; it read about 30 seconds. The man was still screaming. The cashier was already gone. Then I knew I could run now, but when I started feeling a sharp grip on my ankle, I looked back, and the timer read 15 seconds. So I just accepted my fate and opened the iced tea, took a deep exaggerated sip, and let out a sigh. I looked at the timer again, and it showed 3,2,1,0
I woke up on the floor, not feeling bruised or battered in the slightest.
"What the hell is happenin'?" I scream. I get up and check myself for injuries. The weird thing is that I'm completely fine, but my clothes are tattered and torn like I was mauled by a bear. I got up and stretched, picked up my iced tea and the other things I bought last night, and took another sip of the beverage.
" god damn, it's scorching now" I started walking home, then On the way, I saw another person on the street so I called to them, but strangely, they just ran past. I just assumed they were wearing headphones. I'm 18, about 6 feet tall, and black. This city is Brooklyn, New York, so I'm pretty easy to miss with so many people like me.
I finally see my house at the end of the street, so I start to pick up the pace. When I stepped onto the pavement, I ended up in front of the doorstep. I go to open the door and fall through the door.
"What the hell is happening!" I scream. I proceed to pick myself up and walk to the kitchen.
"I'm starving," I say out loud. I look and see my brother crying
"What happened?" I say he didn't respond.
"Nobody can hear you." I fell over in shock. In front of me was a rather short black girl dressed in a white suit and black tie with gray lines running through the whole suit.
"What are you doing here, who are you, what do you mean nobody can hear me?" I stammer out frantically.
" You're dead," she says very blandly.
" Before I send you to the afterlife, can you tell me if you have seen a huge monster, probably taller than an average building, around?"
"If it's a monster that big, isn't it easy to find?"
"They are very fast," she said in a very matter-of-fact tone. Then, all of a sudden, I feel the ground shake and hear a deafening scream. Out of thin air, a huge monster punches my chest in, and I fly into a wall.
"How am I still alive?" I say while gasping for air. I see the girl fighting the huge monster with a Glock 19, until I see the monster grab her, throw her to the floor, and go to step on her.
"Can you let a little girl die trying to save you?" an unknown voice says in the back of my mind
" Will you let her die? Will you let her hospitality go to waste?" the voice says.
"But what can I do? I can't fight a monster like that!"
"Shut up! Will your pride let you sit back and watch like an afraid little child?
"Yes, you're right, as you are right now you can't, but with my help you can. " With that, I was transported into a forest right by a lake.
"This is where my dad and I used to hunt before he died," I say out loud, thinking nobody can hear me.
"You're right," the mysterious man says. I turned around to see an angel, but he had no halo. He was black and had a deep orange suit with a white shirt underneath. He had a black tie on and had his hands behind his back.
"Are you the one who was talking in my head?" I say
"Yes I am, my name is Yunus. I am your gun, bullet, and sword."
"My gun, what do you mean gun? I have no gun?"
"Yes, you do, and I am the gun you have. I am your spiritual gun, the way you fight back. I am your pride hidden within. I am your strength. Together, we can fight the kaiju. I am here to protect you from external and internal enemies. Together, we can take on the world.
No longer will you be cowering in the corner alone and afraid," Yasir says, and tears begin to flow down my face.
"I will not be your protector. I will be more. I will be your weapon, your mentor, your teacher, and your friend."
"For now, help me save the girl who saved me. By the way, how do I find this gun?" I say
"All you do is imagine a gun in your hand," and I will be there.
"Thank you so much, Yunus, but how will I get back?" Yunus walks up to me and puts hands on my back and says
"Put your life in my hands, and as well I will put my life in yours and the world will bend to our will." I come back to the real world to see the girl losing to the Kaiju. I form the gun, there was two guns in my hands both pistols alot thicker then a normal pastol.
"You will hear my name through the heavens." "My life is in your hands, Yunus." I take a step to run at the huge hulking monster, and suddenly, I'm in the air in front of the monster's face. I bring the gun infront of my and take a shot.
"Bang," I say in a calm tone, and a giant laser flies out of the barrel of the gun and blows the monster's arm right off.
"Damn what is with that recoil" I scream while flying back. I turn and shoot the gun the other way, flying towards the monster and narrowly dodging a giant arm. I put my two guns right to his head, and again I say
"BANG"
"That god," I say, seeing a huge hole in the monster's face. Thud! Then everything turns black.
I wake up staring at my alarm clock, which reads 6 o'clock.
