By Shirogami
Prologue
Year 2018, Japan
For almost 90 years, Japan is mostly under conquered of evil creatures, known as Kouma. After the defeat of Imperial Strike Force, Floral Team, leaded by Oogami Ichiro, The furious Koumas continues their attack upon the Imperial Theater. As a result, all members of Floral Team, even Commander Yoneda and Fujieda Ayame died in the glory of protecting Capital, but unfortunately, their effort was not well paid as their precious Capital was become the beginning point for Koumas' invasion upon the defenseless Japan, lead by the mad Ten Kai.
Since the powerful defensive team of Japan has failed in completing its duty, every people had become like runaways, or they will be Koumas' lunch, instead of brutal death. Now, in year 2018, human race has become less and less. Only the few who still survive the carnage live like rats between the wicked city which none of them will ever imagine - collapsed building, grassless lands, polluted gray sky and disliked monsters lurking around the place full of torn human bodies parts.
Chapter 1: Uninvited Guest
Somewhere within the crashed building, a group of youngsters, aged between 14 and 21 years old, are sitting around a campfire, along with their weapons like katana and gun.
"Damn it, how long are we going to be in this way?! Running like rats?!" the muscular, red haired and green coloured eye 19 years old teenager shouts.
"Calm down, Ryo, or 'they' will hear us." The one with silver long hair, bark blue coloured eye answers, while guarding their place with a rifle.
"Shut up and keep your damn watch! Kenchiro!" Ryo becomes frustrated and yells at the gunner.
"Both of you please..." a gentle voices speaks, by a teenager who has dark blue hair with a short pony tail, he is guarding his sleeping little sister. Ryo notices that the girl still resting, so he stops the argument and walks to the campfire.
"Eiji, how is she?" Ryo hands over a bowl of hot soup to the teenager who just stopped their argument.
"Not good, her forehead keeps burning and her body is weak. I... I just don't know what to do more..." The tiring Eiji answers in an upset tone as he holds his sister's hand tightly, as she is the only family he had been left after their parents were killed by those mindless monsters.
"I am sorry that we can't do anything, Eiji." Blowing a cloud of smoke from his mouth, Kenchiro bites back his cigarette and says.
"It's ok, after all, none of us has the knowledge of medication, and we also can't find any medicine around." Eiji speaks, as he doesn't blame anyone for his sister's condition. Each of them keeps silence in an upset mood.
Suddenly, footsteps come from the outside of their hiding place. Eiji quickly lays down his sister at somewhere safe, then unsheath his 4 feet long katana and join his friends for the incoming surprise; Ryo grabs his steel bat and Kenchiro gets in the good position for firing.
As the doorknob is turned, without second thoughts, Kenchiro fires a few shots towards the door. The silence comes again after some smokes flew through the holes from outside, but it doesn't put down their guard. Just when Kenchiro starts to reload his rifle, the silent door is kicked open, straightly flies and hit on Kenchiro. When the remaining Ryo and Eiji confuse for the happening, a shadow appears from the smokes he created and Ryo, on impulse, swing his bat on the enemy. Without any rush and steadily act, the shadow picks up a little rock nearby and hit on Ryo's hand, causing him drops his weapon.
In the mean time, Eiji stands in front of the place he placed his sister, with his katana points towards the shadow. Slowly, the stranger's appearance is being revealed by the campfire, which burns in front of him.
