Counterparts Collide

Things started out as a regular day in the bustling city of Lysiloma. The streets filled with the chattering of people and the skies with the birds fluttering. The busy city was, well, busy. Shops flaring up with the crowds of people, streets riddled with the everyday commute of it's people while Rin, A-on and Max where on their patrol, which they do everyday. Things seemed normal, or as normal as things get around the city, when suddenly an extremely loud crash was heard from the center of the city averting everyones attention to it. Giant clouds of smoke and dust now served as a veil around the center of the city, while crowds of people could be heard screaming.

Without a seconds thought A-on shouted " We have to go check what that is and help anyone that needs it!" Then began to take off for the direction of the crash, but was quickly stopped by Rin.

"WAIT!" Shouted Rin, with an angry tone.

A-on stopped immediately to look at Rin, but was completely surprised to see him so angry, but at the same time scared. His eyes showed a fiery rage, while his body began to shake slightly, almost like he was taking a step back.

"Go get AM, REN and Hazama! NOW!" shouted Rin yet again with an angry tone, though this time his voice seemed to crack just a bit. Rin's body felt as though thousands of needles were pricking him in every location, his breathing was becoming erratic as oxygen began to escape him. It seemed A-on and Max were unaffected, but Rin and a few others could feel the full brunt of the monstrous gathering of magical power coming from the loud crash. Some of the people were dropping like flies unable to handle the amount of magical aura being released and permeating the air.

Seeing Rin in such a panic, A-on alongside Max, rushed for the port. "Don't do anything stupid." said A-on before leaving for the port.

With A-on and Max now out of sight, Rin balled up a fist and with force, punched his forehead while screaming. Though he drew a little blood, he achieved his goal and stopped shaking altogether. His flames erupted around him with great force and then suddenly took off towards the sky, traversing through the air as a giant fireball at great speeds. In no time, he had made it to the center of the city where, Rin could sense the most gathering of magic. upon arriving he easily spotted the entity that was the cause of such atrocious and malicious magic. A small young man sporting black and purple clothing with one gold skull hanging on each side of his waist. Rin already on his guard was about to ask who he was, but the young man disappeared from sight.

"What is this place?" asked the mysterious young man who was now behind Rin.

''When did he? ''thought Rin, but quickly composed himself enough to ask who the young man was.

"The name is Mao." he replied and then continued to ask "Now, tell me. What world is this?"

Rin was a bit confused from the question. ''World?..what is he talking about? ''"What are you doing here?" asked Rin. But as soon as Rin finished his question, Mao appeared in front of him with his palm placed on Rin's chest.

"I believe I asked the first question." Replied Mao as he appeared in front of Rin and slightly pressed on Rin's chest with his palm, but created a shockwave that blasted Rin back crashing through several buildings and then proceeding to appear on the other side to catch him by the head mid flight while exiting one of the buildings. Holding him up by the head, Mao asked yet again. "Now, What world is this? The magic here and the magic of Earthland although similar, are very different."

''Earthland? ''Rin questioned himself. Before trying to free himself by gathering his fire on his feet and intended to kick Mao away, but was unable to, as Mao stopped Rin's fire engulfed foot, with one finger from his free hand.
