"Come on! Just try it, I bet you'll definitely win!" Those were the words you had said to convince your best friend, Phobos, to join the local Tech and Science fair. Little did you know that this was the worst decision you had ever made.

Like some sort of comic book, at the end of the Tech and Science fair, villains crashed in and announced they were going to kidnap the winner to join them. That was when Phobos was stolen away from you. For two years, no one knew what state he was in, the villains just proudly proclaiming that he was making all their equipment for them.

Now, two years later, you finally get to have your friend back. Most of the information wasn't released to the public, but the villain group had been defeated and Phobos was found alive and rescued. You did have to wait a few days though, apparently he was a bit wary now, well that's what they said. After he was deemed healthy, you were allowed to see him in the hospital.

You opened the door to his room quietly and walked in. Phobos sat on his bed staring out the window only to jump and suddenly face the door, his eyes wide.
