Makishima barely had time to register what was happening as he slammed into Reno. He felt more than saw the world rip around them as he listened to Reno's words and slammed his eyes shut. He held on tightly to Reno not even daring to scream though a small squeak escaped him as he felt his stomach jump up from his navel to his throat as they fell through space. The wind was knocked out of him as they both landed in a hard heap on the dusty red earth of Reno's home and even then he didn't open his eyes right away. What he noticed first was the heat. This was no English heat, and certainly no night.

He opened his eyes slowly to be greeted by bright daylight and earth the color of copper. His eyes widened and he straightened up slowly, legs falling to either side of Reno's waist as he looked around at the world they had landed in. This sure as hell wasn't England or anywhere else on Earth that Makishima knew of. His head swiveled around to look at their surroundings and in the distance he could see a city. Though Reno had never given any concrete details or pictures of the world he lived in Makishima knew that he must be looking at Midgard.

"What..." It was the only word Makishima could get out as he was in far too much shock to process much else. How had they gotten here? What happened to England? What was going on? There were too many questions in Makishima's head and he felt his heart start to hammer in his chest and his breath shallow as he started to panic. What the hell had happened?!
