SCIENTIFIC PROTOTYPE BREAKERS

Prologue

This world is full of mysteries. Unknown creatures referred as Xenogenetic monsters or the Prototypes, the original form and counterpart existence of the different kinds of organisms living in the human world that lives in the alternate world called Elysium, was discovered when those creatures suddenly came out of nowhere and became friends with people that lasted for many years. Among the million kinds of Prototypes, only few of them are EX prototypes. They are the ones carrying an EX Reality Drive. They looked almost the same as the creatures in the human world except that the part that they can produce different kinds of supernatural phenomena explained by science depending on the type of Reality Drive they're carrying. They can become the greatest weapon depending on the user's capability in order to protect each other. Those who wield the powers of the prototypes are called Breakers. And this is where it all started, the biggest change of history where humans begin to manipulate science and power.

It was a fine day to begin the first day of school as a second year student. A certain boy with light brown hair was looking at the mirror in his own room. He could clearly see his own reflection in the mirror, revealing his red pair of eyes. He is Rin Kotarou Takemiya, a high school boy who is one of the many people who wields the power of the so-called Prototypes. Beside him is his sleeping partner, Ryuzakuro, which is a small black drake as big as a panther with purple-glowing spikes in its back. Rin was preparing for the first day of school when he suddenly thought of the incident in his past.

Rin woke up without having any memories about what happened. The only thing he remembers is his family. Several tubes were attached in his frail body. He was scared and didn't know what to do. He tried to get up but he didn't have enough strength to do it and his whole body was aching. Suddenly, he heard a man talking to someone outside the room.

"I don't know how it happened…but as far as we observed, some of his brain cells were destroyed. What I'm saying is…your child probably lost most of his memories. There is a big chance that he will never get his memories back due to the damages in his brain. Also, his reality drive was reset to zero, probably because of the side effects of his brain damage. It's up to him how to regain it back. That goes the same for his memories."

"Isn't there any other way? Please do something. I don't want to…I don't want him to forget!"

"Look, I'm not saying that he won't remember anymore. Like I said, there's still a chance that he will recover his memories. His life isn't in danger anymore. To be exact, he was saved by a miracle and we don't know how it happened. I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do about him anymore. Please excuse us." The doctor left together with his assistants, leaving the woman alone, crying in despair.

"If only I had stopped him before, he…he will not have to suffer and forget everyone."

Rin could hear his mother crying outside the room. He didn't know what to do. It was too much for him. He didn't want his mother to cry because of him. Why the hell did it happen anyway?! I don't want any of this! Damn!

He snapped back into reality when he heard his mother calling him.

"Rin, hurry up or you'll be late for school."

"Sorry, I spaced out. I'll be there in a minute."

Four years have passed since that incident happened. Some of his brain cells were destroyed after he got shot in the head for unknown reasons. He was brought by someone to the hospital with a bullet in his head. Thankfully, a miracle happened which brought him back to life when his heart stopped for almost half an hour. When he got out of the hospital, his mother took care of him since then and showed him everything they had about him in order to regain at least a few of his memories. He swore to his mother that he will never make her cry again. He studied very hard and worked himself to death which accidentally activated his forgotten ability called Reality Void when his life was put in danger during his training. According to the few people who knew about his power, he is the only one who had this ability; an ability that is said to negate any form of power and supernatural phenomena or it just looked like it can negate powers just as the rumors described it. The real nature of Reality Void was never discovered but someone saw him blocked a powerful ability four years ago and that's how the rumors spread and got its explanation. However, he just stayed silent and never said a word about it in order to live a normal life.

He felt slightly nervous for his return in his school. He was thinking about what to do when he encounters some of his friends he can't remember right now. He decided to ignore it for now and let the time decide what to do. "I can do this. I just need to act normally like any person does." He started to pack his things and went out of his room.

"Oh? Getting nervous, aren't you?" His sister said to him while serving breakfast. "You shouldn't worry too much about it. Here, let me give you a little encouragement." She attempted to kiss her big brother but she was quickly held back by his hand.

"Don't even try. I'm not interested in such inferiority complex. It's futile to give a try."

"Tch… Do you even know what you're saying? Fine! Oh, right." She took the lunchbox she was filling earlier and gave it to him. "Make sure you finish it without leaving anything."

"Yeah, yeah. Be good and take care of mother, okay?" She just nodded and smiled at him.

They talked about what to do when their father comes home. His father went to the Elysium to complete a class-S job after he finished training him. His father is one of the best rank-S researchers in the world. He even went to the deeper parts of the Elysium such as the Tartarus where only few can enter because of the unknown types of dangerous Prototypes that lived there. And this time, his dad managed to survive. He felt happy when he knew that their family will be together again.

"Hey big brother, don't even try fooling around with girls or else…" She showed an evil smile while clenching her fists.

He gulped. Bullets of sweat dropped in his head. As far as he can remember, his little sister was always attached to him until now. She would be the type of girl who would like to torture guys if they do anything foolish or disobeys her.

"O-okay, I know that already! You don't have to scare me."

"Hmph! Who knows what you'll do when you're already there. You might actually replace me with those… those evil girls! You're really cold-hearted, you stupid brother of mine!" She pretended to cry and weep in a corner.

"Whatever, Sis." He just sighed as he continued eating his breakfast. Then he suddenly remembered something.

"Hey Mizuki." Mizuki looked at him with her usual happy face. "Take care of Ryuzakuro while I'm still moving my things in the dorm. I'll bring him tomorrow." He looked at his Breaker playing together with his sister's ice-breathing cat which is also a Prototype.

"Okay. You can count on me. Of course, I will take care of him because he's Neko-chan's favorite playmate. You already know that." She gave him a wink and smiled. He just smiled back at her.

"Thank you. You also have to take care of yourself, okay?"

"No problem! I'm already old enough to handle such little problems. I'm stronger than you think, you know. I'll probably catch up with you in school later on. I'm enrolled in Tokugawa High too."

"Eh? I see…" He took a sip in his drink and looked at his sister. He suddenly spat his drink on the floor. He is always slow on picking things up and he only realized that now. "What?! You're enrolling in the same school as me?"

"Yup! And I'm going to spy you wherever you go." She grinned at him and showed her usual her victory sign.

"Why you… Well, don't tell me you're also going to live in a dormitory? Who will take care of mom?"

"Me, of course! I'm not staying in a dormitory since the school is just near. Unlike you who is a…nevermind. Teehee."

"Hmph! Whatever. You're getting in my nerves."

"You don't have to worry about me, Rinko-chan. Also, will you two stop teasing each other?"

"Yes!" They both replied quickly to their mother knowing that she isn't the type of mother who wouldn't give any crazy punishment when she becomes angry.

"Alright, I'm off. Thanks for the meal. Mizuki, See you later in school."

"Okay!"

After eating breakfast together with his mother and sister, he says goodbye to them and went out.
