My Anima
Hey guys, its been a while since I wrote anything. I got this idea when I was listening to songs and daydreaming about what I'm gonna write for another SxS based story. This one is a little longer than the ones I did before so bear with me on the stuff. I hope you enjoy it and yes feedback is always welcome. D
Prologue again…
Chapter One: The Boy that Fell from the Heavens.
Earth was not as peaceful back then 15 years ago. Back then there was no violence… no war. Ever since the people living on the eastern side, as we now call Eastern Alliance, of Earth started researching dangerous technology it shattered the balance of this land. Earthquakes, volcanoes and all the natural disasters you can think of have changed this land. Today, Earth is nothing but two small continents closely connected together. The eastern side is where the Eastern Alliance resides and the western side is where the country of Orb exists.
Orb is the country that brings evidence on how Earth was like 15 years ago. Beautiful plateaus, lakes and cities, also green grasslands that stretches miles beyond your view. Mesmerizing forests that creates the true nature of what it was Earth. The cities and villages blend this natural background with them. The citizens of Orb are skilled in magic and the knowledge of telekinesis and psychic abilities. Their buildings are powered by large mana crystals and also using the force of nature to aid them. Orb's military are mainly composed of mages and psychics. Many of these people are volunteers who are willing to serve the country. In their heart their main goal is to bring back the peace of Earth 15 years before the crisis happened. . Some people are boring with special gifts known as "anima". This ability is greatly welcomed in the military of Orb. By using this "anima", one need years of training to achieve this climax. Most of our main characters will have a special "anima" except the main protagonist (oh really?) and one of the supporting characters.
The country where the Eastern Alliance group resides is the contrast of how ORB is. Almost all of the land is covered with factories and production sites. Pollution is high there because of the factories. Eastern Alliance specializes in machinery. They believe that machines are the future to Earth and they would do anything to achieve their goal and stop anyone from resisting. Their buildings are tall and high climbing high into the heavens. The people living in Orb are afraid that someday these tall structures might collapse and land on top of them. The Eastern Alliance's military consists of mechanical weapons from guns to mechs (Gundam mechs like but smaller… just to make it fair for Orb haha).
So it is between the battle of magic or machinery. Restoring Earth back to the original or turning Earth into a nightmare. In the story we will be focusing mostly on the characters at Orb (since they are the protagonist ha) and examine the different quests they take to achieve a peaceful future.
"Hey guys!" a brown haired boy wearing a elegant robe and a staff shouted towards his group of friends.
"Yo! Haven't seen you in a long time," His navy blue haired boy wearing shining armour armed with a giant sword replied, "Hows your magic skills?"
"Ohh… its been the same since last time" The brown haired boy replied with as sigh.
"Oh my goodness, you gotta be joking me? Are you serious Kira?" The blue haired boy shouted back, "You are like top mage in the academy and you still say you are not good enough?"
"Well… I don't want to be overconfident in myself Athrun." Kira scratched his head and laughed. Athrun laughed with him.
"So… you are doing pretty well with that sword of yours? Mr. Knight In Shining Armour?" Kira teased.
"Hey…don't call me that. I'm sick of hearing those rumors again." Athrun replied.
"Well ever since u protected Cagalli from that Zaku you became famous" Kira laughed.
"Yeah… well… A man has to protect the lady with all cost right?" Athrun laughed. Kira nodded and smiled.
"Hey speaking of Cagalli… where is she?" Athrun asked Kira.
"Well… she and Lacus are like… you know… shopping…for girly stuff." Kira blushed.
"Wow… you still act like a little kid huh?" Athrun teased, "Maybe I should teach you a lesson." He unsheathed his sword.
"Well… if you get second degree burns all over you, don't blame me ok?" Kira teased back.
"Fine… we shall arrange a day to duel. I want to see if you improved or not" Athrun commanded. Kira nodded happily.
After waiting for an hour… the girls are finally back from shopping.
"Hey boys!" The pink haired Lacus wearing a dress and the blonde Cagalli wearing her casual clothes shouted at the boys.
"Hey your back," Athrun replied, "Took you long enough. What were u doing there?"
Cagalli bonks Athrun on the head with her fists, "None of your business!" Lacus giggled.
"So anyways… I guess we got to set up camp right now. It's getting really late and I'm really hungry." Kira's stomach gurgled.
"hehe… I bought you your favourite food." Lacus smiles at Kira. Kira smiles back and blushed.
"So boys, what were you doing when we were away?" Lacus asked.
"Oh we just talked about some stuff… you know… boy stuff." Kira replied.
"You two didn't do any fighting right?" Lacus asked again.
"No, no." Kira replied honestly.
"Good… remember last time when you two dueled?" Cagalli butted in, "you almost wrecked the whole academy"
Kira and Athrun were looking down, trying not to think about what happened 10 years ago.
"Oh hey guys, where's Dan?" Cagalli asked.
"Danny?" Kira replied, "Oh he's everywhere. Last time I talked to him, he said that he went to the woods to grab some fresh fruits"
"Oh ok… hope he comes back safely" Lacus said.
"Ah he will be ok, he knows how to handle things even though he doesn't have an anima." Athrun said, "He's a skilled guy. No worries about him."
"Hey Athrun, remember not to speak of the word anima next to him. He gets really depressed…" Kira whispered.
"Gotcha!" Athrun smiled and winked.
After a few hours…
"Hmm guys its getting dark… I think we should go sleep now." Kira yawned.
"Wait, before we go, let's look at the stars. They are really beautiful." Lacus suggested.
"Hmm… sure why not" Athrun agreed.
A few minutes later…
"Hey guys… don't u think that star… looks amazingly bright?" Cagalli pointed.
"Where?" Everyone asked.
"There." Cagalli pointed up towards the sky.
"Hey you're right… maybe it's a lucky star haha" Athrun replied.
"Hmm lets all make a wish shall we?" Lacus suggested. Everyone nodded.
Surprisingly, everyone wished that someday the world will be back to normal again. What a coincidence haha.
"Hmm I'm done!" Cagalli responded.
"Me too." Everyone replied.
"Hey … uh guys?" Kira said suddenly.
"Yeah?" Athrun responded.
"That star… it looks like its moving…"
"You're kidding right? Let me take a look…. Hey… you are right! That star…is moving…"
"What? Let me see!" Cagalli and Lacus shouted, "Oh my, you are right."
"Guys! It's heading towards us!" Kira shouted.
"No… it looks like it is heading towards the forest where Dan is!" Athrun corrected.
"Oh no… everyone lie down face forward on the ground now! The thing is gonna hit the ground soon!" Cagalli screamed.
Everyone did what Cagalli said. After a few moments the object hit the forest sending a blinding white light that can be seen all over ORB and Eastern Alliance. Eastern Alliance got suspicious of the object and is now sending troops to check it out.
"Guys… everyone ok?" Kira asked. Everyone nodded.
"Ok… we gotta move, E.A is gonna be searching that area soon. Lets get there before we do. Grab your weapons and move out! I hope Dan gets there sooner…and I hope he is ok…" Cagalli said.
Few minutes before the crash, deep into the forest…
"Crap, I'm lost in this damn forest. I thought I had the road memorized correctly but man this place sucks!" Dan complains while holding a bag of fruits. He is wearing his casual clothes and is armed with two specially designed pistols made by himself. Dan is a machinist who was a friend with Kira and the gang but got separated when Earth changed. He lived in secret in E.A slowly developing his skills in smithing and machinery so he can use these skills against their makers.
"Oh well, I guess I have to shoot a flare to call for help." Dan drops his bag of fruits and takes out one of his pistol to load a flare ammo.
As he was about to shoot the bullet he saw a white light.
"Woah! Is that a spotlight or something? Am I saved?" Dan gasps for a sign of relief but suddenly the white light grew bigger and bigger.
"Wait… that not a spotlight… it's…." Dan quickly dropped down on the floor and ducked for cover.
Moments later he saw a blinding white light for a few minutes, then he stood up, brush the dust off his clothes.
"That was close… hey the forest is still here! Nice!" Dan said.
Just as everything was looking all good for him he turned around.
"Oh man…" He gasped.
He was standing at the edge of a crater where the object was not far from him. The object wrecked a part of the forest, mostly everything in that radius got vapourized.
"Man… if I was a few inches closer… my legs would be gone by now…" He said.
He begin to walk towards the center of the crater to examine what was the object that crashed into the forest. The land is so heated up that his shoes began to melt, but correctly jumping around saved his shoes from being completely wiped out.
As he arrives closer to the object, the land starts to cool down a bit more.
"That's weird… a few minutes ago it was still hot. Now the land is at normal temperature. Strange, very strange." Dan said.
As he walks closer, the object is becoming more visible. As he was a few inches away he dropped his jaw.
"No way…" he said.
On the ground a boy was laying there face down on the floor. Beside him was a sword but that sword was the strangest sword Dan has ever seen. The boy didn't move at first but he started to make some small movements with his hand. Dan checked his heart to see if he is alive. All of a sudden, the black haired boy opened his eyes, his red eyes glaring at the ground then at Dan.
"Where… am…I?" He asked.
Guess who that is? Well thats just the first chapter. First chapter is always boring I guess lol. Make sure to RxR please D and I'll do my second chapter soon )
