In a time not too long ago,
In a galaxy far, far away,
A star burned ever so brightly,
That it exhausted its own fuel reserve.
Resulting in the absence of nuclear fusion,
And due to this lack of energy generation,
The star ultimately collapsed,
Under its own intense gravitational force.
Creating a vacuum so powerful and void,
That it sucks the very light out of vision,
And no matter may escape it,
So out of fear, mortals thus call it..
-The Black Hole

Upon reaching LalaLand, Agent XX noticed rows and rows of shops selling the same equipment. The AirGear X1000. It is said that LalaLand is the only place that manufacture this type of equipment. Despite its size, it contains an engine powerful enough torque to move a car. And it is to be worn on the feet.
Agent XX slipped on a pair and in no time, he was practically dancing using the AirGear. Lily was not so adaptive because the last time she worn one of these was during her pre-teen years and the model was the primitive AirGear X200. Having mastered the art of AirGearing, Agent XX proceeded to tutor Lily. Lily learned quickly under his impressive guidance and the only drawback was her inability to brake.
After mastering the basic movement, they went on to scout the city for her family. As they were turning from the main road to the streets, Lily was unable to stop and crashed into Agent XX causing them both to fell. Lily was unscathed and this relieved Agent XX. But Agent XX fell on his old injury and he instinctively flinched but quickly, he regained his smiling expression to prevent Lily from worrying.
Agent XX tried out a few stunts but the streets were too rough to do so, thus they went to a nearby car park and Agent XX performed a little. Then a few cyborgs appeared and Agent XX got defensive and decided to strike them preemptively. Using his newfound abilities with AirGear, Agent XX was so agile that his motions were blurred to the naked eye.
Within a span of 5 seconds, all 7 cyborgs were deactivated with either a dismembered limb or torn in half. Fearing that they might have tracked them through the loud engine roar generated by the AirGear, the duo quickly abandoned their AirGears. The speed advantage is just not worth the trouble that it attracts, Agent XX thought.
Though Agent XX has his suit, he still harvests his energy from eating food. The suit is merely an amplification device for his normal body processes. Mobilizing the AirGear just too much for the two first-timers' mental and physical focus, resulting in their growling tummies.
The duo started scouring the town for any food-joints that might still have fresh food, and found and underground subway station which serves sandwiches. The ingredients were stored in sub-zero freezers, ensuring that their freshness is sealed in. Activating the robots serving at the food-joint, they started munching on the delicious sandwiches prepared for them. But Agent XX's sandwiches had some weird sauces that tingled his tastebuds, causing slight discomfort.
After their revitalizing meal, they headed back out into the city and realized that darkness now shrouds them. All was dead and silent, but Agent XX's sonar device picked up signals of waves clashing. Missing the cool sea breeze, Agent XX piggybacked Lily and dashed towards the beach. Resting on an improvised bench that Agent XX fashioned out of rocks and sticks, they started counting the number of nebulas they could see. Across the horizon, a shooting star flew and..
It turns out to be a plane.
P.S. I wanna hold your hand.

Picking up a signal on his sonar device, Agent XX switched direction to southwest. The signal got stronger and stronger, eventually leading Agent XX to a dark and wet alley. Activation his infrared vision, Agent XX detected slight motions within the shadows. As Agent XX approach the figure, he realise that there was no sign of any heartbeats. Puzzled, he continued approaching the target with caution. A flash of light blinded Agent XX and he instinctively ducked to the floor. Turning around, a huge gaping hole was formed on the wall behind him, with the edges still burning bright.
Agent XX lunged at the figure, only to crash into a cold, steel humanoid. With red glowing electronic eyes, the robot stared deep into the soul of Agent XX. Sensing danger, Agent XX gave the robot a good twist to the neck and dislodged its robotic head. The eyes on the face of the robot, seemingly lack of energy, are now 2 dark spheres. Throwing the head into a rubbish dump, Agent XX turned away from this menace and walked away.
After taking a few steps, a sudden surge of bone-shattering force rippled through Agent XX, sending him flying into the building across the street. Agent XX climbed out of the hole in the brick wall and saw the headless robot rampaging its way out of the alley. Then a thought of fear formed within Agent XX, what if there were more? The lady would be in grave danger! Ignoring this blind and mad robot, Agent XX activated X Speed and continued to search for the lady.
Climbing onto the roof of the nearest building, Agent XX leaped all over town. Finally, he caught sight of the lady running in the general direction of LalaLand. Catching up to her within a few strides, Agent XX landed silently beside her. "Hi", Agent XX said. The lady was shocked but smiled in response. Acknowledging it as a sign of acceptance, Agent XX took his place beside her. After about an hour of running, the lady stopped to rest. Agent XX tore his way into the provision shop nearby and returned to pass the lady a bottle of thirst quencher and once again, she responded with a smile. Pretty smile, Agent XX thought.
While the lady rested, Agent XX climbed to the roof of the building beside them to scout their path ahead. At least another six hours of running before they would reach LalaLand. Heading back down, Agent XX sat beside the lady. "I'm Agent XX, may I know your name?", Agent XX inquired. "Lily", she smiled. Handing Agent XX a piece of paper, she took to her feet and started walking towards LalaLand.
"Dear savior, I would like to thank you once again for having rescued me. If you would not mind, please accompany me to LalaLand. I would very much appreciate it."
-Lily
Agent XX smiled, ran to Lily's side and said, "At your service." Lily's response is once again, a smile. But it was okay, Agent XX liked the smile..
P.S. Is it okay for me to be doing this? I don't wanna hurt anyone.
