	"What are you talking about?" Sammi asked giving a confused face. He bent over to get the book bag.
"We ne- I need you to power this heart under the tower."
"What tower?"
"The crystal one."
"I don't know what you are talking about. What crystal tower?" Sammi latched the top over the heart and gave it back to the girl. The girl looked at him and finally came to a conclusion.
"You were the one who got knocked into a coma from where it began. Aren't you?"
Sammi threw his hands up,"All I know is that my name is Sammi Shadow and I got sent into a coma after some accident!"
The girl stared at him."You don't know what happened while you were out."
Sammi face palmed. Breathing a large sigh he finally gave in.
"Can you please tell me what is going on?"
The girl's face became more relaxed.
"Sure. You might want to take a seat Mr.Shadow." Her light smile turned into a small frown as she looked down at the floor. Sammi took a seat on the cart and looked as if his mind was a small notebook, ready to take notes.
"Shadow, shadow. Why does that sound familiar? Its some other language. I think its..." her gaze lit up as she stared holes into Sammi."SOMBRA IS SPANISH FOR SHADOW!" she shouted.
Sammi looked confused,"Who is Sombra?"
A large rumble quaked the building.
"He must of followed me! We have to go!"
"Hmm, Hmm, Ha ha ha ha!" A deep voice laughed. A black fog started to flood the large room.They ran for the door, only to be stopped by a familiar soldier and a buff guy in dark blue jeans.
"Mark..." The girl stopped and stared. Sammi spotted an elevator and without thinking grabbed the girl's hand and ran for elevator. He quickly smashed the top floor button. The elevator was filled with the black fog immediately and the door slammed shut. 
"Don't breath it in!" the girl screamed as they struggled to get out. The unicorn formed  on the opposite side of the elevator, its maniacal smile staring down the two humans. All the girl did was raise her fists, ready to take on the world if she had to. Sammi couldn't help but cower in to a fetal position. King Sombra looked at Sammi and laughed.
"I would think you would have the bravery of your old man!" Sombra continued to laugh as it progressively died down. The girl feared this would happen, but it still hurt her to hear that. Sammi stood up and tried to knock open the doors. Be ended up just banging on the doors and the girl grabbed her knife. Sombra started his assault by just walking. He was just arms length when the doors opened. The two both fumbled out like tumble weeds.
The girl was on her feet in seconds, only to see a black fog exiting through a small hole in the elevator. An eerie laugh sounded though the halls.
"We need to move." The girl looked at Sammi. He was just standing up, giving a full moon view to the girl in the process. She nearly puked."Nice pimple you got there." she said. Sammi blushed and giggled
"Did you enjoy the view?" the girl rolled her eyes.
"My name is CJ by the way."
"What does it stand for?"
"I-I never knew. As a matter of fact, I never knew my parents. My dad joined the army in Europe to help against the Chinese."
"What was wrong with the Chinese?"
"They almost took Cordova as a territory in an attempt to take over Spain. Something about them being short on food supplies. But China is huge so I am confused on that. My mom apparently is related to some royalty so she left me in the Americas, ironically this all happened not too long after that."
Sammi looked as CJ to see that she had a tear form in her eye. He walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. CJ looked at Sammi, a small smile crept onto her face. Sammi looked down, pulling images and memories of his past.
"I only knew my mom. She always bragged who my dad was.'Great and powerful man" Sammi air quoted," After that incident in the elevator, I think I know what she meant." Sammi heard a reticent sniffle from CJ. Sammi then remembered something.
"My mom was always a braggart too. She could always do some kind of magic trick to cheer me up sometimes. Her name was Terrie. I think, I never did remember her name."
"Look" CJ started, wiping her nose with her arm."We need to move or our sorrow might become our downfall."
Sammi nodded in agreement and they started off the long hallway.
"We just need to find you a weapon." CJ teased with her knife as she threw it in the air and caught the handle while it landed.
"Be careful!" Sammi warned as he stepped a little to the side,"You don't want to cut yourself!"
"Hmm, i don't want to. I'm being awesome right know." at that, the knife came down and cut a nice slit down CJ's palm. She cried in pain as Sammi got caught off guard.
"I'll find something!" Sammi promised as he ran from room to room in search a bandage or two. Sammi came across a supply room. Inside was a small medical kit. It was a red velvet rectangle package with a white cross on its top.
"Aha!" he cheered as he picked it up. A blood curdling scream sounded as he dropped the pack. He crouched down to pick it up when he saw a paper in the corner of his eye. Showing interest, he picked it up before running out to CJ. She was standing in the door way where Sammi almost rammed. They both looked inside. A dead body lay towards the door. Maggots were all over and flies ran free. There were obviously signs that his spinal cord snapped. It seemed like the person was trying to get away from something. Looking up, Sammi noticed a huge hole in the window. He walked in, holding his arm to his nose to block the horrific smell.
"Sammi!" CJ whispered. He looked over to see CJ using her hand as a glove. He threw the kit to her. She ruffled through it, tearing through the patches and band aids. Sammi refocused on the window. A close inspection showed a small patch of white fur on a large spike of glass. Sammi carefully picked it up sniffed it. It smelled familiar. He walked over to CJ and took a big whiff. They were the same.
