The Near Future III. Battle

[Instrumental]

[Plot]
Finally, the light turns green and the boy peels away

I
As he rounds the next bend, he comes upon four men attacking a girl by the side of the road. Instinctively, he slams on the brakes and jumps out of his car to try and defend her

The four men turn on him with vacant expressions, and begin to advance

Outnumbered and weaponless
The boy nonetheless decides to stay and fight
If nothing else, he hopes his sacrifice might
Give the girl time to escape
He raises his fists, prepared to go down swinging
When all of a sudden a strange blue light flares out from his palms
And an alien symbol blazes to life on the back of his hands
The four attackers pause for a moment, taken aback
Then they charge

Ii
What should have been a quick defeat
Somehow turns out to be a fair fight
With his hands radiating blue fire
The boy finds himself in control of skills and
Powers he has never possessed, and by sheer force of will
He is able to keep his four attackers at bay

Iii
The men pause, reevaluating the boy
Then they advance again
This time at full force, in a chaotic attack formation
Designed to maximise the advantage of their numbers
As he considers the girl these men have been attacking
The boy's fury begins to rise
Who are these strange men
And why do they think they can get away with
Hurting this defenceless girl?

Iv
Suddenly, the light starts surging forth from his hands
Completely overpowering his attackers
Dealing blows that send them flying into the air

All at once they cease their onslaught
The four men share a look
Then in unison, they flee
Panting, the boy turns around to find that the girl has remained, staring at him in utter confusion
As his adrenaline recedes
He suddenly realises that even though she is battered and bruised
She is the single most beautiful girl he has ever seen

Then, just as he opens his mouth to speak
She leaps up and runs away into the night
He stands there stunned, as the blue light emanating from his hands begins to flicker, then fades away altogether

Finally gathering his wits, the boy runs after the girl
But she disappeared without a trace
He walks back to his car and spends the rest of the night driving around
Searching desperately for any sign of her
But it's no use
The sun is rising, and the girl is gone
