Prologue

It was a rainy and cold afternoon, but Tobu "Boom" Lemgo wasn't worried about the weather. He looked at his watch as it read 12:07. He looked outside the window of the rental condo he was temporarily staying at, taking a quick note of the weather.

Boom was usually patient but it was very urgent for what needed to be done. He did not have time to wait around and was worried. Suddenly, a loud knock was heard from the outdoors. He walked towards the door and asked who is it.

"The powers will be protected." a female voice replied, as he opened the door and welcomed her inside.

"Do you have what is needed? This can not go into the wrong hands. We need to guard this secret no matter what it takes." Boom explained to her with a serious tone.

"Yes, I have the essence and can assure you as well that not only was I not followed, but I too will guard this secret to the very end." the woman replied back showing him a vial inside of a small case.

Good, he thought, as long as Youden doesn't get this then I can end what needs to be finished. He took the case from her hands before giving his thanks and allowing her to leave. Once she left, Boom took the essence and put it inside a safe. He walked outside from the back with the safe in hand and towards the ocean behind the condo. He heaved the safe into a rowboat already there and kicked the boat out to sea. The power of it created a 20-foot wave and the boat was well distanced off of the coast. He then checked around the beach until he saw a good enough sized boulder and threw it towards the boat with simple ease. There was a loud crack before what was ever left of the boat and the boulder sunk into the depths below. Boom watched the area for a few minutes making sure the deed was done, before getting up and leaving to find and end Youden. No matter what it takes, he told himself, I will finish him once and for all.
