I am running away from two pursuers. Both are much older than me. They are 10 and I'm only 4. I got some free bread from someplace called a Bakery. But the older boys saw me and wanted it. I can't give it to them. I need to bring this to the orphanage. I try and cut through the back alley behind some place called Locksmith Raider. I run at the fence and try and push the bag through the small hole. Suddenly my face is pushed into the fence as the bag is taken from me. "Finders Keepers. Besides not like it'll be any use to you. Your too scrawny to be of any use for this bread. But what the hell I don't like rasins so I'll let you have this." He holds out a biscuit with raisins baked into it. I reach to grab it but he suddenly slaps me. "I didn't hear you say anything. Better thank me or I'll keep it. It's better for Dog food anyway." No! If I don't get it Sora will be mad I didn't bring anything for him. "Please give it to me. I have nothing more to eat. Please I beg you." I personally hate myself for being so weak. One day I'm going to join the Empire and Kill these guys. He throws the biscut to the ground and runs off. I pick it up and dust it off. I put I the pocket of my overalls and crawl trough the hole.

After a short run though the city using the route Sora taught me I get back to the... Well it's called an orphanage but the place is falling apart. No way we could be adopted from a place like this. I walk in and am suddenly hugged by Sora. "Mina! I knew I could count on you! So where's the goods?" I look at the ground in shame as tears well up in my eyes. "They were stolen from me." He looks at me. "You at least tried to get yourself something right?" He at least sounds sympathetic. "Well I got something for you." I reach in my pocket and hand him the biscuit. "What about you?" I look at him. Looks like he got in another fight. His blue sweatshirt is all ruffled and his pants are covered in dirt. "You look like you got beat up again so you need it more than I." He gets into fights too often. The reason I think is because some of the adults treat him differently because they say he's Aryan. Then again while he gets special treatment I'm ignored. Maybe because my hair and eyes are red? Or is it my tom-boyishness? Whatever it is I don't like it. "Well I may look beaten but at least I don't look like I got shot at with a hose. Did you forget that the Locksmith's place has the worlds longest lasting puddle?" I nod and wipe the tears from my eyes. "Well don't be too upset. If we join the empire I'll be able to take vengeance on them for you." Sora is pretty sweet sometimes. He hands me half the biscuit. "Eat up. You know how unreliable these adults are." I take the biscuit and nibble on it. It's pretty good. The aftertaste is kinda bitter but I can't complain. If I do I might not get any dinner. "Mina you should probably run off and change." Sora has a good suggestion But I don't have anything to change into. "Sora my laundry isn't doable until tomorrow." His cheeks turn pinkish. I have an extra set of clothes thanks to the stupid adults." Sora hands me a blue sweatshirt and black jeans.

I run to the bathroom and take off my overalls. My panties aren't wet at least. I take off my red shirt and put on Sora's blue sweatshirt. I put on the black jeans suprisingly easally. I thought Sora's clothes wouldn't fit but they fit very well. I walk out and throw my clothes on my pile, have a quick dinner of soup and a piece of bread. After that its lights out. As soon as the head adult declairs lights out we hear a loud boom and a lots of bangs. As the night draws on the sounds grow louder. I get into Sora's bed and get as close as possible to his chest. Suddenly I see green,red, blue, and orange lights come in through the cracked and broken windows. The silence reigns over the room. Suddenly there is a set of three knocks that are deafeningly loud. I flinch and pull myself closer to Sora. "Sora I'm scared." I whisper to him. "What is it?! We're closed!" I hear the head adult yell. Sora puts his hand behind me. "I'm scared too... But I'll protect you." He reaches in the pocket of his jeans with his other hand. I hear the Doors of the orphanage open. "Can't you read you freak?! We're closed! If you want an Orphan come back tomorrow! The empire won't be here for their pick until next week." With that she slams the door and the night continued in silence.

When I wake up I hear the door get knocked on again. The head adult answers now wearing her suit. I wore a similar one to mama's funeral. She's talking on her cellular phone. "Yeah. Fucking bitch is suing me for traumatizing her kid. She Adopted her... Don't worry I'm on my way... I'll pick up the schematics when I see you." She pulls the phone from her ear and puts it in her pocket. She opens the door as it gets knocked on. "Sorry orphanage is closed. Lawsuit circumstances... Come in. Take a look at my wares." The Adult leads three figures wearing big coats into the main area. We apparently slept in. Sora doesn't seem to mind. One of the three figures is pointing some glowing thingie at the head adult. "I'm looking to relieve you of the problem children. I need only two." The figure with the glowing thingie sounds like a man. The glowing thingie looks kind of like a sideways L. The head adult seems to be scared. "Well if your looking for problem children then I have just the perfect pair." She suddenly walks over and holds me up. "Scrawny, weak, a tad underweight, and is very tomboyish it seems." I'm troubled? I'll show you troubled! I start trying to squirm out of her grip. "Let me go! I'm gonna join the empire! Let me go!" She looks at me. "What are you talking about? The empire would never let you join. Your too weak to be of any use to them." I go limp. I won't ever be able to join the empire? Why must everything in life seem so sharp it hurts to even go near it? "Hey put Mina down this instant!" Sora? I look to see sora pointing something at the adult. "That's the other one Sora. A bit of a pain,scrawny but fiesty, has an authority issue." As she's calmly telling them this I hear a Bang. The adult drops me as she holds her shoulder in pain. "I told you bitch! Now step away from her!" She simply stands and looks at the figures. "Well? You want him. Go get him." The figure sighs and two lasers leave the glowing thingie. One hits the adult and the other hits Sora. I try and run to Sora but suddenly feel really tired. Everything turns black.

When I wake up I'm in the back of a van. The van is out of the area I'm familiar with. The city is all shiny and reflecty now. "You awake?" I hear a womans voice. I look to see a adult with blue hair smiling at me. "Don't worry we're the good guys okay? My name is Minami. Maybe we can be friends." She's really pretty... No! Have to stay focused! "Where is Sora?! Tell me!" I yell at her half forgetting that I'm in a seat-belt. "Don't worry Sora is nice and safe. He's been asleep ever since the commander shot him...Okay that was worse than I meant. The commander used the stun function on you both. That horrid woman I can't be sure. Still what was your friend doing with a gun?" She looks at me... Why the hell is she asking me? "Whats a Gun?" I seriously ask her. She looks surprised. "You mean to tell me you don't know what a gun is? Well that's a good thing I guess considering your location. Fine." She reaches to her side and pulls out the glowing thingie that the other guy had back at the orphanage except it has a lightning bolt instead of an hourglass. "This is my gun. I prefer the Cobalt ammo over the others. The one that was used on you guys is called Chaser. Another ammo I like for its defensive capabilities is Flame. I may have to learn how to use Plasma and Chaser eventually but I'll see if I can't delay it longer. After all Chaser is unstable and Plasma isn't very powerful. Sure good oppressive fire but I like the Cobalt better." This woman is very odd. "Arg where are we? Is this the van to heaven?" Sora woke up! He was next to me this whole time? "No this isn't a van to heaven. Your still alive. Your on your way to your new home." Sora suddenly seems worried and feels his pockets. He suddenly pulls out his pocket knife and points it at Minami who is next to me. "Put your weapon back woman! Don't you dare bring out your gun around Mina again!" She puts her gun back to her side. Sora puts his kinife away. "By the way kids. As soon as we arrive at your new home I want you to call me Big Sis. After all I'm going to take on the role of your big sister." Doesn't sound horrible. "Okay sure." I say almost immediately. I never had a sister. "No way in hell." Sora says crankily. "Why not Sora? Miss Minami seems nice. I don't see what's wrong with doing as she asks." Come on Sora! Do it! "Never will I call her Sister!" Now Sora is just being mean. "Why not? Tell me Sora!" I'm not going to stop until I get an answer. "Because she was killed! My Big Sister was killed and By the Earth Military no less. Thats why I wanted to join the empire. To overthrow the Earth government and build a respectful military that gives a damn about who they kill!" Silence reigns for like a million forevers before Minami talks again. "Then you get your chance. Except instead of building the perfect military you are the perfect military." Did I hear that right? "What do you mean 'you are the perfect military'?" Sora and me can't be the perfect military... I don't even know what perfect military means. "Well my associates have done research and your brainwaves are disturbingly close the the legendary heroes. So as cold as it sounds we're adopting you for your brains." I don't know how something can sound cold but my back is cold all of a sudden. "So your adopting us to be killing machines? I'm game." Sora... How can you be so calm about all this? "Well we won't send you into the field right away. We will raise you to the best of my ability. Though I can't garentee how your training will go I can promise to be the best big sister. Oh it seems we're here. Take a look at your new home. 3YE The Third Eye." Sora and me look out the window to see a giant angel holding a really big sword.

So our new home will be protected by the angel...
