Cold......oh so cold....

Ever since the incident had happened, the storm had been getting worse and worse. The temperature was dropping by the day. Last he knew it was below -100' degrees Celsius (or -148' degrees Fahrenheit). Icicles had formed along the roofing, the snow was becoming thicker and large enough to block the entrance, and the sheer cold itself felt like millions of tiny daggers piercing into the skin. Yet with all of that happening outside, that wasn't the reason he was cold.

Stab! Chop! Stab! Chop!

The reason was the fact that his body was being constantly stabbed and cut open. With the amount of blood he was losing, all of the remaining internal warmth had was being drained away in an instant.

" HAHAHAHAHA! We're gonna eat good tonight boys!"

"Look at all this shit this Fucker had! Ha, it's ours now!"

Why.... Why was this happening? He never did anything wrong to any of them... He had always kept his head down, never bothered anybody, always helped when he was called for something... and yet now here he was being brutalized by his own neighbors from his building.

Yet to him that wasn't the worse part. Oh no, the worst part of it all was that he had been deceived by the one he had longed for. She had come to him in need of "help", and he had opened his door to her... yet the next thing he knew was the feel of an aluminum metal bat smacking him right in the face.

With the blood rushing from his nose and mouth, he didn't see the group of men that barged in and ransacked his belongings. He could only lay there in shock as others had begun to tear his body apart for food. yet just before he passed away, he saw her one last time.

"Don't take this personally Mako *giggles* but this was what you were only good for~."

All of his life, he felt that he had suffered enough. He had lost his parents, lost his chance at a better life, lost his friends, and now it seemed that his life would be next on that list. He never wanted much. Just a chance to live his life to the fullest that it could get. Yet now that definitely wouldn't be happening.

"If I ever see any of them again...I'm gonna bring Hell with me."

That was his last thought as the light started to dim in his eyes. As the world all seemed dark to him now, he felt that this was it. Yet just as he thought he was going to pass on, he saw three golden bright lights. As the lights got closer, he could see they were like little golden balls of flame. Any normal person would probably be freaking out at this point, yet probably because he was dying, this was just normal?

He could feel the lights calling to him, almost as if they wanted him to grab one. As he reached out to them, he felt that they were each unique somehow, yet he couldn't tell how. So, without a second thought he opened his arms and snatched all three. Though that probably wasn't the best idea. The reason for that was that as soon as he touched all three, his hands started to burn from the touch.

From feeling dreadfully cold to now burning up like a volcano, he started to feel the immense heat surging through his body. It was if his insides were starting to burn up and were being melted. Almost like an overused lightbulb, his whole body started to glow brighter and brighter until finally-

Fwoom!

Mako: *Gasps*!!!!

He was back...

As Mako Tamashii regained his focus, he noticed that he was laying down in his bed. Quickly he stood up and noticed that all of his limbs and organs were still intact and that all his injuries were nowhere to be found.

After noticing that, he quickly ran to his bathroom and looked himself in the mirror.

Mako: *looking at his reflection* Holy crap, I'm really back!

Noticing his phone charging, he picked it up. When he turned it on, he noticed that the date read 'March 1st 20XX'. As he stared at his screen, he couldn't believe it. Somehow... in some way... in some form... he was back Nearly Three Months before the storm happened.

It was during June when all of a sudden, it started to snow. Most people thought nothing of it and just thought it was a unique opportunity. It wasn't until a meteorite had made impact on the Earth that shit started to get real. The climate changed drastically to where it was like a frozen ice age. Months later the climate would only get worse by the day. It was a Freezing Apocalyptic Nightmare.

Yet now, here he stood just 3 months before any of that happened. Whatever the case was, he was given a do over. Now with the information he had, of what's to come, he could prepare! He could make sure that this time-

A sudden realization came to Mako as he thought about it. It wasn't just the snowstorm that had to prepare for, but the others in it as well. He remembered all of those bastards that lived in his building and what they had put him through. Nearly every single one of them was nothing more than a selfish greedy waste of a human.... well, all except one.

Yet that wouldn't matter to him anymore when all of his preparations would be complete.

A/N: Imagine this but it's golden and there's three of them.

Mako: Ahh!

In another instant that same surging pain he had felt before had come back and hit him straight in the middle of his head. It was as if this the migraine of the century! The crazy part was that just as soon as it hit him, it went away just as quick.

Mako: *groans* Ugh! What the hell was that?

As Mako tried to get a grip on what the heck happened. He suddenly felt somehow... different. he didn't know how he was different, but he just knew that was the case. Before he could think about this further, he thought of three words in his mind.

Absorb. Online. Barrier.

"Absorb, Online, Barrier"? What could that mean?

Yet just as Mako thought about the word Absorb, he was about to wash up and brush his teeth. The very next moment, instead of grabbing his toothbrush, his hand glowed blue, and in almost a type of woosh type of motion, his toothbrush was gone.

Mako: *surprised* WHAT THE?!

Mako had always been an intelligent young man and had great grades in school. Yet none of that mattered as he just saw his hand somehow suck up his toothbrush! Yet instead of panicking he quickly calmed down and thought about the situation. If he was able to somehow absorb it, then maybe there was a way to bring it back... hold on.

As he thought further, the word Absorb came to him again. Thinking the opposite of the word, he concentrated and put his hand out. In the next moment his hand glowed blue again, but this time-

Plop!

The toothbrush came back! As he picked it up, he saw that it looked and felt the same.

Mako's Mind: Maybe it's some kind of storage ability? But what about those other two words?

As mako thought about the word Online, he all of a sudden had some weirs sense tingling in his mind. It was almost like a "Spidey Sense", well at least that's what he thought was best to describe it (he was also a geek and a nerd, sue him!)

A/N: Imagine it was like that

As he felt like this, he felt a connection growing. As he looked around, he noticed that the connection was to his cellphone. Wanting to see if it was true, Y/n decided to pick up his phone and see what was going on. Yet the moment his finger touched the phone, there was a sudden zap to his body.

zzzz!

As the static rushed through him, it was almost as if his mind was being pulled from his body and transported somewhere else. The proof of this was that now Mako saw what looked like the insides of a live circuit board!

When the sensation stopped, Y/N could feel all around him multiple electric currents. Looking more into it, he reached out and touched one of them. In another moment he was now looking back in the regular world, yet now instead looking at his phone, it was if he was the phone because he saw his body just standing like a statue with his eyes having the same odd pattern as the circuit board (The picture above just in his eyes).

Taking his hand away, he went to another current and touched it. In another moment he felt as he was transported somewhere else. When it stopped, he saw that now he was on his browser sight. When he reached out to it, he felt all of the things he had searched up all pop back up. Form places, questions, to pictures, to answers. It all went through his mind. Even certain things that he thought he deleted from his browser history popped up.

Mako: *blushing*!!

Not wanting to see any more of that, Mako thought on how he wanted all of this to stop. And in another moment, he was instantly out of that area all together and back to where he was standing in the world (which was his bathroom of course)

Mako: *breathes in and out* Whoa....

Whoa indeed. As he saw his pupils and irises, he noticed that they were back to normal. He picked up his phone again, and this time he was only holding it with no connection power of any kind.

Mako's Mind: So somehow, I was able to connect to my phone? Or was it more like I connected to the internet? Or was I able to connect to it since it was a electronic device that was online?

So many questions went through his mind as he tried to think about it. By this point Mako was excited on what this could mean. Now he somehow had gained powers, and not just one!

Speaking of which there was still one more he thought he had.

Mako's Mind: Barrier.

As he thought about this, he instantly noticed.... that nothing happened. He waited and waited but still nothing. Maybe the last one was just a dud?

Mako: Well, hey, two out of three isn't so ba- whoa!

Misplacing his footing on the matt in front of the bathroom counter, he slipped and fell back onto the bathroom floor.

Mako: Oof!

When his body was on the ground, he forgot that he had held onto his phone at the same time. He was only remembering that bit of detail now, since he had lost grip of it during his fall... so now his phone was about to hit him in the face.

Bracing for the impact, he closed his eyes. With one hand he tried to shield his face, while with his other he tried to stretch out his hand and see if he could catch his phone in a last attempt.

Yet what he didn't account for was the impact never happening.

Mako: Huh?

As he opened his eyes, he saw with his own eyes that his phone was in a cerulean circular type of barrier. It looked like that one forcefield he saw from the Incredibles!

Mako: *excited once again* Cool!

Yet not long after the little barrier disappeared, and his phone fell right into his hand. Now at this point Mako had too many questions about these powers. How they worked, what he could do with them, what their limits could be, and so much more.

Just as he thought about how his new powers could come in handy, he had an idea. This idea was one that was so big, so bad, so devious, that as he started to put in more details on it, he knew that it was so risky and dangerous, that in the end... it would work. In the end, with his newfound prep time and powers, he was going to make this upcoming apocalyptic storm his Bitch...along with all those that would get in his way~
