4:45 a.m.

The early morning sky is clear and the moon and the stars are still visibly bright. However, from the small city the moon is slightly obscured by a cliff on its borders. On the cliff a strange haze begins to converge. The haze, shaping itself, began to solidify.

From the haze materialized as a short slender person in a garb like that of a vagabond; a scruffy grey cloak that covered the man's face apart from his royal blue eyes, dusty black slacks, and a plain dark-blue shirt. His arms and legs was covered in dingy bandages, so much so that it was impossible to discern if it was even human.

The vagabond looked upon the city. His irises glows with azure light as he surveys the the city. His eyes darted from left to right as it looked over every building and the few person visible until it spied a certain van parked in front of a car wash. From how the vehicle's position he could see someone sleeping in the back. The person was a man clad in what seemed to be a white wife-beater and a pair of grey sweatpants.

The vagabond's body converted into mist and descended slowly from the cliff. The mist crept throughout Beach City all-the-while becoming so dense that most of the people outside couldn't see more than a few feet in front of them. The mist reached all the way to the edge of the pier and out over the beach.

4:58 a.m.

From inside the van one would not be able to see anything, but mist. Within the mist, however, the vagabond materialized. As he walked up to the van he peered inside and examined the sleeping man. The slumbering man was portly and had half a mullet, bald at the top, and a scruffy beard.

The vagabond looked from the man and up out of the mist. A small portion of the mist cleared up allowing him to see a small beach house atop a giant cliff sculpture of a four armed woman. He then faded into the mist as a streak of mist broke away and headed towards the beach house.

5:05 a.m.

The Sun began rising behind the cliff on the outskirt of the small city. Most of the mist thinned out and/or dissipated, but a small portion was grouped at the top of the cliff sculpture.

The vagabond materialized from the mist as it reached the beach house. He found himself standing just in front of the front door. And he just stood there. He made no movement to enter or to open the door just stood there as if pondering something.

From the windows he saw into the beach house. It seemed almost normal from what he could see, the only things that seemed out of place was the door-like protrusion in the stone wall at the back of the beach house and the large stone platform in front of it.

His curiosity strengthening the vagabond tried to open the door and, to his surprise, found that it was unlocked. He sauntered in and inspected the stone wall and platform near the back of the house.

He dared not step on the platform, but when he stepped in front of the door embedded into the stone wall a royal blue light shone from it. He was so captivated by this light that he didn't notice the slight noises coming from the bedroom.

The bedroom door squeaked open and a small husky boy walked out the room in some cat themed footie pajamas.

"Pearl, is that you?" the boy yawned, breaking the door's enthrallment on the vagabond. The door's light faded as vagabond looked at the boy. The boy looked at the vagabond noticed that he wasn't someone he knew.

"Who are you?" he asked panicking, "Why are you in our house?"

Before the vagabond could act the boy yelled.

"PEARL! AMETHYST! GARNET! INTRUDER ALERT!"

The vagabond was initially caught off guard, but looked around and noticed that there was only one bedroom. The vagabond was quite confused at the boy's outburst. Then the stone door began shining again, this time blinding the vagabond.

"Steven!" called a sweet voice, "What's going on!?"

The opened his eyes to see three beautiful women standing in front of him. One was small and slightly heavy with long, very pale, light-purple hair which covers her left eye, big lips and lilac-purple skin She wore a dark purple, no-sleeve tunic with a black bra strap showin, black leggings with a star shape cut out on her knees, and white boots. The vagabond noticed an amethyst gemstone embedded in her chest. She was slightly taller than the husky boy.

Another had thin bird-like body and pale white skin with a bluish tint. Her short hair was pastel orange and styled like a pixie cut. She has large light blue eyes and a cone shaped nose. Pearl wears a light blue tunic with a yellow star and large turquoise sash tied around her waist. She has pale orange short leggings, pink socks and turquoise shoes. She was much taller than the purple woman. She also had a gemstone, a large pearl embedded in her forehead.

The last, but tallest and most muscular one had dark skin and curly black hair that is styled into a cube-shaped afro. She wore futuristic shades that cover her eyes. She wears a black and red bodysuit with cube shoulder pads and a pink star on her chest. She also wears long black gloves. Her gem-stones are garnets embedded in her palms. She is twice as tall as the purple woman, putting her at around 7 feet tall.

The vagabond would have been enchanted by them if it wasn't for the fact that each one was holding a weapon. The purple one held a whip, the bluish-white one had a spear, and the darker one had two gauntlets on her arms. They found themselves face-to-face with the vagabond and noticed they never seen him before.

They were ready for a fight.
