Symphogear of the Wind
Chapter 1: The Runaway
The past give us insight to how far humanity has evolved. But it can also teach us and give us aid. For without past knowledge we might have never learned about many things we know today. The past can pave a way to the future, this is the same in this universe. As it starts as many Ubisoft do. It starts with a loss of life.
We are Uneru
Ask yourself this. How would you react when you see you're parents killed? "Son...Run." What would go through you're head? This is quite sudden I know, but life will never allow you to take things easy. My name is Kosuki Uneru I'm 6 years old and only a few seconds ago I just became an orphan, and now on the run. Turning tail I start to run for my life. I rush out into the city streets people around me scared out of their lives.
Boss:(points to Uneru) Get the kid! We can't let him escape!
Goon: You heard him! Get after him!
Running as fast as I can, I speed past and onto the busy streets. "Help me! Help me!" A van comes out of the same alleyway that my parents died. The window opens up as guys start to open fire on me. I jump into a building, as they start gunning at the building. As I lay there I start to remember back to how this all happened.
A few hours earlier
It was just another day in a hot summer day. Both of my parents are detectives in the police, and are often busy with their work. So I have a care taker at home most of the time. My parents had promised me a trip to a museum, that day. It was at the museum that I learn of the world's darkness.
Uneru:(tugs) Come on dad! I want to see the samurai armor!
Dad:(chuckles) Ok ok. I'm coming! I won't be going anywhere.
Mom:(smiles) He seems to have your endless reservoir energy.
"Come on!" I say grabbing my mom's hand and bringing them inside. I peer into the museum, and we head inside. Looking around my eyes just seem to gaze everywhere. "Hmm? Ah! There you two are!" I turn around to see the police chief walk up to us. "Chief? Why are you here?"
Chief:(smiles) I wanted to tell you something personally.(looks to Uneru) Is he your son?
Dad:(nods) Yeah.
Chief:(rubs him on the head) Heh heh. Looks just like ya. But I need to talk to your parents privately.
"How about you go check out the samurai armor." My dad recommends as I give a quick nod and I head to the Edo history hall.
We are observer
The two walk into a separate hall of the museum where Kazanari Yatsuhiro waits for them. "Mr. and Miss. Kosuki." The two bow to him, "Yatsuhiro san. Is this about "that" sir?" Yatsuhiro silently nods. "Chief leave us." The chief gives a small bow as he leaves, walking over to the entrance he takes out his phone and dials a number.
Chief: Hey it's me... Yeah I need a hit. It's those two. Ok good. Yes it's gonna be there, don't worry if anyone tells them you can kill them as well.
Yatsuhiro:(looks at painting) I know this is not the best place to talk about this. But I fear that you're time is growing short. The Yami no Sakimori gang is on the move.
Dad: What do you mean?
Yatsuhiro:(sighs) There activity has been changing. They have been smuggling in weapons from out of the country. There selling them across the blackmarket.
Mom: My god. You think that they are gonna come for us soon? It's because of us that their activities have been made known to the public and the crackdown of many there operations.
Yatsuhiro:(Looks to the two) It's a high possibility. You haven't seen the end of this. I would recommend that you spend as much time with your son as you can. It may be you're last.
Dad: ….(puts a hand on Yatsuhiro's shoulder) We'll do that. But we may also be gone, we need someone to take care of our son. Our families will have to go into hiding. There won't be anyone else to take care of him but you.
Yatsu:(-I decided to shorten this) I'm not sure.
Dad:(Smiles) I know you can do this. You have a daughter don't you? It may be good for someone to be her friend.
Yatsuhiro pauses. Then with a sigh he nods, "Good. Now we are gonna go and have a fun day with our son." Dad says as the two head back to meet their son. Yatsuhiro looks at a painting, he clenches his fist. "Please may the three of you be safe."
Back in the present We are Uneru
After that we were attacked by a gang in an alleyway. The Police Chief was in on it and had ordered the attack. Which brings me back to now. The bullets stop. "Hurry! Sweep the building! Shoot on sight." I hear from outside as I crawl under a desk and curled up. As I get under I crush a piece of glass under my foot. "What was that?" I put a hand over my mouth to keep as quiet as possible. "It came from over here." I hold my breath. Please don't look under here. Please don't look under here. Then I hear something...It sounds like singing.

(Starts playing: Knights of the Wind by Crush 40)
A gust of wind blows from inside. Wait. Wind? Inside? "What the? Is this wind?" One of the goons say. A goon jumps over the desk, I make a small gasp. The guy turns around and spots me. "Hey! He's over here.(aims gun) Night Night." But as he's about to shoot a gust of wind knocks over the desk and me, and his shot hits the desk. "Crap tha-" Another gust of wind knocks him into a pillar knocking him out. Out walks from the shadow a man donned in white armor. The armor looks like a knight's armor but much more modern. His eyes are bright red. I don't know why I didn't notice it before.
?:(singing) And I live! To rule by the sword~ Slashing through the every inch of the power~ The power in you.
Goon:(aims gun) You son of a!
The goon opens fire on the man. The man puts up his arm as the wind blocks the bullets. "What the fu-?" The man reaches on his back, their in it's sheath is a blade. Taking it out, he slices the air as it launches the goon into a wall. "That's all of them." The man says, he turn to me and walks over to me. I start moving back up against a wall.
(End of theme)
Man:(stops) I'm scaring you. Heh of course you would. You just saw your parents killed. Now you know of this worlds cruelty.
Uneru:(looks down at ground) Everyone I know. All the guys at the station, they were all in on this! I won't trust anyone anymore!(tears up) Even you!
The man just chuckled as he walks over and pats me on the head. "Don't say that. There are still many people who you can trust. And you will meet them soon. You will choose your fate from here on out. And still have much of a future ahead of you." The man stands up and police cars drive up. The man glances at them...then back to me. "Let it be your will, that will show you, salvation to your new life." As he says that the wind picks up again and it wraps around the man. After a moment the wind settles down and I'm left alone. Police bust into the building and run over to me.
Officer:(puts a hand on Uneru's shoulder) Are you ok.
Uneru:(nods) I'm...ok.
Location change: Police station
I sit alone on a chair. "Hey! Let go of me!" I look up as the officers who were in on the gang work are being dragged away. "You son of a bitch!" The officers yell as the see me. I just look away trying to not look at them. "Move along you Corrupt fuck." Another non-corrupt officer says dragging them away. A figure walks up to me, and I look up to look at him.
Yatsu:(walks up) Well done. From your testimony, the extent of their gangs control has been shown. The Yami no Sakimori will soon be behind bars.(turns to Uneru) I'm sorry I haven't introduce myself. My name is Kazanari Yatsuhiro, and I'm the older brother to your new father.
Uneru:(looks at Yatsu) Why?
Yatsu:(raises an eyebrow) What?
Uneru:(starts to cry) Why did they do that? They were supposed to help people? Aren't they?
Yatsu:(face saddens) I'm sorry to say but... People can be bought. That is how people are corrupted, anger, sadness, greed, lust, gluttony, pride, envy, and sloth. The world is sad that way. But our will must be strong to stand with others. Only then will we be strong.
I jump out of my seat and wrap my arms around the man as I cry. The Yatsuhiro wraps his arms around me, "It's gonna be ok now." After a few seconds we break off, and I look back down. "Is something wrong?" "Just remembering the man who saved me."
Yatsu:(raises an eyebrow) By the man who saved you?
Uneru:(nods) A knight in white armor, he controlled the wind. He was the one who stopped the goons from hurting me. He told me that my will alone, will give me Salvation?
Yatsu:(looks at Uneru) Perhaps it's his way of telling you to defend and steel yourself to the darkness of the world.
Uneru:(looks up) What?
Yatsu:(looks to Uneru) The world is home to a lot of good, and evil. (smiles stands up) Now come. We're going home now.
I follow Yatsuhiro, I'm leaded out to a fancy car. A man in a suit opens the door for us. "Sir." He says, and the two of us get inside. "Take us home. Please feel free to sleep it's been a long day." I lay my head against the wall of the car, and I start to doze off, but with tears in my eyes. I feel a hand caress my head, as I fall asleep. "It's going to be ok...Sleep your sadness away." and I fall asleep.
End of chapter 1
