A mother is screaming. She quickly hands her child to another, before running off to join the fight. The toddler pleads for their mother not to go, for it knew that fate that would behold the mother if she left. The woman ran off, coaxing the child to follow her, to run and not look back. Meanwhile, the toddler's best friend is taken, unnoticed by the rest. This child's name was Jackie, and the one who was taken was named Kuro. This, was during Heaven's Fall.
Jackie woke up, gasping for breath. He hated when he had dreams like this, of his younger days. Jackie can hardly remember their face, let alone their voice. Kuro was fading rather quickly from his mind and that really scared him.
Suddenly a knock a his door shocked him back into reality. "Jack! Inaho, Calm, and Inko are all waiting for you!" Muttering a few curses under his breath, the 16 year old quickly got dressed and ran down the stairs. "You've really got to set your alarm clock, Jack!" His mother says. Rolling his eyes, Jack grabs a piece of toast before kissing his mom and running out the door. "Be Safe!" She yells, waving.
Jackie quickly falls into stride with his 3 friends, at least trying to make casual small talk. "So, what's on the agenda for today?" He asks, looking to Inko. Jack often forgot his classes, relying on his friend to remind him. "We have basic training, again, before going to see the arrival of the princesses." Inko says, annoyance slightly tinging her voice. "Sorry." Jack mutters, and they walk the rest of the way in silence.
In Jack's opinion, the car could have been better guarded. Yes, there were a few escorts, but if these princesses were really such big deals, shouldn't they have higher security? "Look! They're coming!" Calm points, making the others focus on a small, black limo. It seemed peaceful. Almost too peaceful. Like the calm before a storm. Suddenly, The 4 are blasted back onto the ground thankfully unhurt. "What the hell was that?!" Jack yells, rubbing at his eyes. Looking on the other side of the bridge, he felt his heart stop and his blood run cold.
Bombs, more like missiles, were headed towards the limo in which the princesses were currently in. Sadly one of the missiles hit, throwing the place into chaos. The teenagers were shoved out, people were screaming, and it was all out next few moments were very confusing, as multiple Kataphrakt units were dropped onto the ground, and people were being told to evacuate the area.
Jack, Inaho, Calm, and Inko were thrown into duty. They were to stay inside the lift cars, and look for civilians to pick up. They had to stop once or twice, no big deal. Suddenly, the car came to a halt, throwing Jack off the seat, and onto the floor. Okay oW. He thought, moving to the front to get a grip on the situation. They were suddenly stopped by one of the Kataphrakts, and were told to turn around and get to the damn ferries already! One of the enemy's was chasing them. It was huge, way bigger than the normal ones. Then again, their Kataphrakts were green, not purple right? Having to resort to driving under an overpass to escape the damn thing, Jackie sighed; this was going to be a really, really long day, wasn't it? Looking around, he no longer spotted Inaho. "Hey Calm. Where did Inaho go?" He asks, slightly concerned for his friend. "Up on the roof…" Calm trails off, as they both race for the hatch. "Inaho! Thank God!" He says, sighing. However, there was still one person missing…
