A/N: Helloo~! Welcome to my first posted fanfic! Yay! Ahem… Anyway, this isn't the first fanfic I've ever written, but it is the first one I've ever posted anywhere… yeah. Lol such a nerd. There is going to be a SYOC thing I'm going to try. Firstly because I just wanna see how it goes. Secondly because I'm too lazy to make up lots of OCs… Hey, at least I'm honest. So, this is going to be the prologue or just an introduction for some insight on how I write. Whatever. But, the next chapter will be for the SYOC thing. I don't know exactly what to call it, but information on SYOC will be in the next chapter. All right, now that that's finished, I hope you enjoy!

Prologue

It was storming. Not like thunder-and-lightning type of storming, it was worse. Something much, much worse.

Wizard City was falling.

Evil creatures were beginning to take over. Nasty creatures. From white see-through ones with open-mouthed faces, to tall ones with long, black robes and pumpkins for heads. Usually, for the level 24 Death wizard, these guys would be a piece of cake. But there were tons of them. More than you could count. They had taken almost all of Wizard City. All they had left were Ravenwood and the Commons. With Ravenwood almost completely taken over, they were losing badly. All the while, the only thing this Death wizard could think about, was finding her friends.

She had to find them. She had to make sure they were okay. In the midst of battle, she turned and ran. The sounds of battle surrounded her as she ran towards Ravenwood, the last place she saw them. She pushed her way through the screeching monsters and into the tunnel leading to Ravenwood. She heard a loud noise, like a humongous tree was being ripped from the ground. It was coming from the Death school. She turned to look and what she saw, would haunt her for the rest of her life.

The Death school was being ripped out of the ground.

She could see it in the distance as she ran. She ran as fast as she had ever ran. She automatically knew that that's where her friends were. It was an instinct. As she approached, she saw them. Three of them floating in the air beside, the one-and-only, Malistaire Drake.

Her mouth gaped. Why? It made no sense. She stood in front of the, now floating and crumbling, Death school. She looked up at some of her best friends. Some of her only friends. She looked at them, then at Malistaire.

She felt hatred twist in her stomach. She felt as if she was going to throw up. Yet she looked at them and screamed "Why would you do this? I thought you guys loved Wizard City? What happened to all the memories we made here? Don't you guys care!?" They didn't answer, so she continued. "Why are you doing this? What has he done to you!?" she screeched, venom lining her voice.

Now, they looked at her, hatred in they're glares. They'd never looked at her like that. There was something different about them, she realized. There eyes were different, plain. The same. Their movements were also the same, synchronized.

They reminded her of puppets.

Then, a bright flash of what looked light black lightning blocked her vision. She thought she heard someone laugh. Her vision cleared. They were gone, Death school and all.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed! I know it was really short, but rest assured, the other chapters will be longer! Its a fact. Alrighty then, cya!
