The nightmare begins
Seto Bridge, Japan
The evening sun slowly sank behind the vast island. Stars slowly blinked on as the intimidating sun hid, but it didn't get any cooler for most of Japan was currently going through an unusually high heat wave and naturally because they were not accustomed to it, the heat was slowly gnawing at the serene mentality of its many residents. In other words its hot and there losing it.
The bridge its self was over flowing with cars and many of its occupants were screaming and yelling at each other for no apparent reason. One man snapped and got out of his car then angrily jumped over cars towards a cab. The cab driver got out of his car and swung at the advancing man. The man stopped it with one hand and swung with the other lacerating the cab drivers right temple. Several people got out of their cars and started a brawl that quickly turned into a riot, that's when the gang-bangers showed up, making a calamity even worse. Quickly making there way through the cars, they opened doors and took anything that wasn't bolted down, others just broke windows and slashed tires. At one point one guy launched a lit Molotov quickly joined by a few others, one of them shattered under a car sending debris in all directions. No one seemed to notice that it was on fire and much less a small spark in the middle of all the rioters.
The small spark turned into a small white-bluish ball that then immediately turned into a two-mile sphere partly in the ground and then disappeared like it never happened. A freezing mist quickly rose and dissipated. A large six-foot crater in the bridge rested in the middle anything in it had gotten incinerated. Cars had large chunks neatly sliced off, a few had gotten their tanks sliced open the gasoline inside had evaporated. It took a moment for the people to realize that they were missing their arms and legs others were missing half or most of their entire bodies. One man got the entire front of his body burned off along with both his arms. People that were still alive started screaming, those that were less fortunate merely fell to the ground as their insides spilled into the freezing cold crater.
There was a soft "oh" that came from the crater. A young woman slowly walked out of the crater holding her twin sister in her arms. The one that was being carried was badly wounded, blood was dripping out of a gash on her head and staining her neon sky blue hair. She had several burn holes in her shirt and numerous bruises around her stomach, arms and a few about her face. Her name was Rain Excel and her sister Mouse Excel was noticeably trying to keep from panicking. Mouse was a little less beaten up than her sister who out of pride refused to scream in pain and instead she clenched her jaw and slowly exhaled in pain. She looked down at her with a worried expression "hold on"
Taking a reassuring breath, she gathered up her courage and walked up to a complete stranger. An old man in a shirt and kaki shorts nervously stood before her. She wasn't very tall, around five foot six and probably didn't weigh more than 110 pounds. Her eyes were the same color as her hair (neon sky blue) and somehow stood out from her pale skin. She had an athletic build and wore a black long sleeved shirt with white chibi wings on the back; on the rim of the sleeves they had a blue flame design, She had black baggy jeans and sneakers. Rain wore similar colors a small black shirt that had the letters C.O.B in bleeding red letters with hate crew underneath in white, black cargo pants and boots.
"Excuse me sir do you know where is the nearest hospital?" mouse asked awkwardly. The old man didn't say anything but he pointed towards the city. Mouse looked towards the direction he was pointing and then looked at him gave a small bow and smiled "thank you" and with that she made her way into the crowd and jumped on top of a car and effortlessly floated into the air. The old man looked on as she rose over 400 feet. There was a sound like a high-pitched discharge and everything turned red. Rains arm dropped to her side from exhaustion. Rain looked on with sadness as the bridge collapsed with all those people still on it, She just didn't understand why Rain had to do these things. She looked away and turned around towards the hospital and sighed in depression.
The beach, a few minutes earlier
Two girls sat on a sand dune and watched the sun set over the ocean. As the sun turned the sky into various shades of pink, purple and navy blue, the small blonde girl looked up at the taller brunette. She slowly and unsure of her self she took her hand. The brunette glanced at her with beautiful hazel eyes. The blonde softly gasped and looked away withdrawing her hand quickly, then stared at a small hermit crab scuttle about, her cheeks quickly flushing. The brunette watched her and smiled as she leaned towards her, put a slender hand on the side of the blonde's face and gently turned it towards her. She looked deeply into the blonde's sapphire colored eyes. She couldn't look away nor wanted to, she's been waiting for this moment ever since she met her a long time ago.
They both closed their eyes as the brunette slowly moved forward to give the blonde her very first kiss just as the sun in front of them set. There was an inaudible two-mile flash a few feet behind the couple that quickly disappeared. Two silhouettes quickly stepped out of the glass crater that had formed under them and with out a sound as to not interrupt the two girl that were sharing an intimate moment, leapt over the railing and crossed over to the street.
Kioku Hikubi sighed as he leaned against the railing. He wore a white denim jacket with black leather strips around the edges, but quickly stripped it off because of the heat. His black shirt was a high contrast to his blue jeans but made his dark tan skin stand out but it also made his long bicolor hair stand out even more. He had it split down the middle, turquoise at the roots and fades into violet near the ends.
Nei'ko clan-clan on the other hand was wearing a tight white shirt that had a purple logo saying "heartless" over a purple swirling heart split in two. The shirt was ripped at both shoulders like a tank top with sleeves, at the moment it was really dirty. She had on black camouflage cargo pants with numerous pockets and zippers. Her dark brown skin made a sharp contrast with her very long platinum white blonde hair, which was tied back in a ponytail.
She looked out before her, the huge city of people and skyscrapers stared back, It was both unsettling and intriguing. She looked at Ki with worry, She raised both hands to her chest and with her middle fingers she briefly placed them on her chest then flicked them upwards and waited with a questionable look mixed with worry. Ki shook his head and smirked with a shrug "I don't know" yet he replied in a comforting voice. "you hungry?" he asked. Nei'ko smiled made a fist and knocked on an invisible door twice. Ki smiled then took her hand as they made there way into the city.
Washu Hikubi walked through a pitch-black room, a stagnant smell in the air mixed with its humidity made it almost impossible to breath in. There was bone chilling scuttling sounds as she reached into her pocket for a penlight. There was a low hiss that reverberated off the invisible walls. She fumbled with the light, at some point it flicked on and a huge monster black as coal with armored exoskeleton that looked like it was dipped in slime with a long banana like head with no eyes, screamed in her face. Its inner jaws snapped at her. She fell back and dropped the light which hit the floor and shattered momentarily illuminating the room. Billions upon billions of creatures swarmed around her. She tried to back up but one of the monsters grabbed her ankle, instantly every one of the creatures swarmed over her like a black tidal wave and screamed in unison as they engulfed her drowning out her screams. Within seconds a mountain of monsters had formed over her. There was an explosion from within the mountain, all the screaming stopped and there was no sound. A second explosion and the world erupted in pain and screams.
Something quickly made its way towards the top of the mountain. On the very peak a thick beam shot through it sending some of the creatures toppling off. The beam widened incinerating any thing in its path. Slowly a silhouette rose from the middle of the beam carrying Washu in its arms bridal style. It rose a few feet and the beam got thinner until it was only a sliver of light, then it burst into electrical static. Dozens of creatures trampled over one another to get to her, screaming and slicing the air for her. The silhouette rose even higher without a care in the world. She looked at the shadow with awe. "thank yugh" she gasped and swallowed hard. The silhouette let her slowly slip from his arms an energy blade equally as slowly sliding out of her stomach. The blade broke into sparks as she started to fall towards the monsters.
She hit an armored exoskeleton hard and with a loud breaking sound. Immediately the monsters tore at her ripping her open, but she couldn't feel anything the blade had severed a pain receptor nerve. She watched the silhouette, slowly she rose a weak had reaching out towards him for help. "Why?" she coughed out blood and slowly closed her hand around him as he grew angelic wings and flew away. The last thing she saw was one of the creatures opening its mouth its inner jaws in one lighting fast motion clenching her forearm, the outer jaws ripping through her arm and splintering her bone and in a single tug ripping off her arm.
She was screaming when she woke up. She had been sleeping in her lab, dozed off at some point. She gasped for air as she franticly looked around searching her stomach for any spilling organs. After a moment she stopped, then slowly rubbed her arm to make sure it was really there, a moment of silence passed. She put a shaking hand to her mouth and cried the tears freely ran down her reddening cheeks. She wiped at her eyes but that caused her to cry even harder. In her vast laboratory there was no one to comfort her and she knew this.
