We're trying our best to manage.
Lady Green heart has been missing for a while. Three years to be exact. Matter of fact, all the CPU's have been missing for quite a while. With our guardians being gone for this long, we have been relying on the CPU candidates to protect us from extreme threats. Except for Leanbox. In case you don't know, Leanbox is the only nation in Gamindustri that doesn't have a CPU candidate. Because of this, we have been relying on our oracle, Chika. Chika does a good job of keeping up and running during this crisis. She recently have been putting on a lot of concerts with 5bp (Our Idol) To keep everyone in Leanbox distracted from the crisis that is currently happening. Cave, one of our strongest people in Leanbox, was part of the Leanbox SMD and kept Leanbox protected from monsters all over the place. No matter what kind of monster it was, Cave always won. Even though Lady Green heart was gone, everything was still going smoothly for Leanbox.
Until all three of them left.
Chika, 5bp, and Cave all left with the CPU candidates to go find Vert, our CPU. As soon as they left, Tensions started rising between the citizens and the Leanbox government when the Government wouldn't give Leanbox Citizens answers about what happened to their beloved leaders. Monster attacks became more common in Leanbox. Although the Leanbox military seemed to handle most of them, more and more damage is slowly being done to Leanbox. In the end, citizens are really hoping that everyone just comes back.
I am personally one of those citizens. My name is Trigger. I am 17 years old and I have a combo of blonde shaggy hair that reaches my ears along with emerald colored eyes. Because I'm an engineer for Leanbox, I used to wear suits and tuxedos all the time. But because of all the monster attacks, I have recently started wearing light green sport sweatshirts so I can run faster and not sweat as much when I'm fighting. Also because of the monsters, me and a lot of other engineers have been supplying weapons to Leanbox citizens so they keep themselves defended from monsters until the military shows up. To keep my family safe, I have built myself two high tech full auto pistols. I have a basic family of four. A mother, a father, My beloved younger sister, and finally me. Luckily, the day was done and I was at home relaxing from a busy day.
Jenjen, my younger sister, ran up to me and started shaking me back and forth.
"TRIGGER! WE'VE GOT AN EMERGENCY!" She screamed into my ears. I grabbed my dual pistols.
"What is it Jenjen? Another horde of dogoos?" I asked, ready for anything.
"Worst!" She screamed. "We're out of ICE CREAM!"
...
...
...
That was the most anticlimactic thing I've heard all day.
"Why do I even listen to you? All you talk about is ice cream." I responded.
"Trigger please take me to get some Ice cream." She begged with puppy eyes.
"No." I flat out said.
"Trigger please?"
"No."
"Trigger please?"
"No."
"TRIGGER PLEASE DO IT NOW!"
"NOOO!" I screamed.
Jenjen is a 15 year old very energetic girl that would do anything and I mean ANYTHING for icecream. She's nice most of the time. Until she sees or gets a craving for icecream. She has blond pigtails that reach all the way down to her waist along with green eyes. She wears pink and black striped socks that come all the way up to her thighs and meets the short pink skirt she always wears. She wears a white button down shirt that comes with a pink tie to go with the rest of her outfit.
I felt a hand go on my shoulder and I turned around to find the culprit. It was my mother.
"Trigger, both you and I know that you're sister won't stop until you get her that ice cream. It's not dark outside yet so for the sake of this entire family, please take her out to get some ice cream." She told me in a soft but stern voice.
"Mom we're spoiling her with all this ice cream. She's gonna get fat from all of that food! And the worst part is that she doesn't even care!" I argued.
"It's true I don't!" Jejen agreed with me.
"Please just get it over with and take her out to downtown." My mom said in a tired voice.
"Fine, but when she has four chins, this will be on you! Come on sis, let's go." I said defeated.
"Yay! I always win when it comes to ice cream!" Jenjen exclaimed.
"Nobody cares, sis." I retaliated
"You obviously do, since you're buying me ice cream!" She roasted me.
…Why do I have to be related to her? Out of all the girls in Gamindustri, why her?
About two hours later we arrive at a ice cream stand in the heart of downtown Leanbox. Since we close to downtown, It wasn't that hard to get to. The owner of the ice cream stand sees us and immediately recognized me and Jenjen and waved at us.
"Hey Trigger! Did Jenjen roast you again?" He asked. I laughed and gave him the middle finger.
"Figures. What would you like, Jenjen?" The owner asked.
Jenjen then looks at the menu above her and starts ordering.
"I'll have…..A number 3…. A number 5…. Two number 9s…."
Did I mention my sister's nickname is "The Wallet Crusher?" I may be an engineer, but my wallet was still scared of my sister.
My Wallet was then saved from being destroyed by my sister when a huge explosion occurred in the distance. We all jumped and turned around. The poor owner dropped the ice creams he had made for my sister. I then did what any reasonable brother would do and pulled out my dual pistols and pointed them towards the explosion. Jenjen started to hug me VERY tightly. She tend to do this whenever she's worried. I try my best to calm her down, but I started to panic when I saw what came next.
When I took a closer look at the fiery explosion, I felt a deadly chill run down my spine. I saw very large wings going through the fire. The unmistakeable shape of the wings was what sent everyone around me into a frenzy. That was the shape of an ancient dragon. A big one too. The military was immediately sent into a scramble. They started setting turrets and vehicles up everywhere around the basilicom. Without any of the CPUs or Chika, 5bp, or cave, this dragon would not be easily defeated.
I quickly took my sister's hand and bolted for the basilicom. The basilicom was the most heavily guarded place in Leanbox, so it was the most safe place in the entire nation. A Lot of the other citizens had the same idea as me. It appeared things were going to work out, for the Leanbox soldiers were letting people inside. As they took my sister in, I turned around to look at what was currently happening. That's when the situation went from bad to worst. I saw that the ancient dragon wasn't alone. It turns out there was FOUR MORE ancient dragons behind. Smaller, but still dragons. If I was gonna keep my sister safe, we were going to need to go deeper into the basilicom. Still holding her hand, I quickly drag her through a series of doors before the soldiers could tell us not to do so. I honestly had no idea where I was going. All I knew the deeper inside, the more of a chance we had for survival. We eventually find a big metal door. It was as if it was guarding something important. If something was being guarded in that room, then me and my sister would be guarded as well if we were inside that room. So we did not hesitate to open the door and sprint inside.
It was a very peculiar room. The room itself was huge. It was a circle shaped room that was made of what appeared to be metal. There were green walkways leading to the center of the room. In the center seemed to be the light source of this room. The light source seemed to be some sort of green crystal. The Crystal was raised up on some sort of tall pedestal. The light made the entire room glow with a very soft green. My sister then grabbed me very tightly and started panicking.
"TRIGGER! Do you know what this!?" She whispered/screamed into my ears.
"Not at all, but I think we're safe now, Jenjen. So please try to stay calm." I replied, trying to keep her calm.
"Trigger, that's the Leanbox Sharicite! We really shouldn't be here!" She replied.
Sharicite? I'm not sure what a sharicite was. Whatever it is, it looks very important.
Just then, a violent vibration from the surface shook us and we fell on the ground. The military and dragon's battle was raging on above ground. I stand up and I pick up my sister so I can try to get her closer to the wall for safety. But that's when the unexpected happened.
A much more violent vibration hit us and we fell again. I try to get up but I notice a piece of metal fall next to me. I then look up and see that the sharicite has toppled over. I pushed my sister out of the way. She safely got out of range of the sharicite, however, everything went black for me.
Now don't get the wrong idea, I didn't get knocked out or anything. Everything went black for me because I was covered by rubble and the sharicite. But not everything was all dandy. Beneath all the rubble, I couldn't move anything. I was stuck.
"TRIGGER! TRIGGER! OMYGOSH OMYGOSH OMYGOSH ARE YOU OK?!" I hear my sister screaming.
As I was about to attempt to respond, something strange started happening. The sharcicite that was on top of me started glowing green. At first it was a very soft glow.
Then it got brighter.
Then brighter...
Brighter...
BRIGHTER...
BRIGHTER!
Until my whole vision was covered with green. What happened next was very painful. I felt my arms and legs extending. ACTUALLY EXTENDING! I was growing bigger by the second. I scream at the top of my lungs due to the excruciating pain I was experiencing from this.
After about ten seconds of this, the green light finally decides to leave me alone. But it soon replaced with a bright white light. I was prepared for more pain, but it turns out it was just my sister removing the rubble from me. When she finally got enough off me to see my face and body, her eyes went wide. She looked absolutely shocked. She didn't say anything. She just sat there with her knees on me and her hands over her mouth.
"You looked you've seen a ghost or something. Did the rubble really mess up my perfect face that bad, sis?" I jokingly ask, trying to lighten the mood.
"Oh my gosh" She whispered with her hands still over her mouth. "You sound just like Trigger, But you look so different." She whispered
"Uhhhh... Sis? What's going on? What are you talking about...?" I questioned worrying.
"You're not him..." She whispered. "You can't be him...But you call me sis just like he does..." She said with her eyes still wide.
As I was trying process what was happening, I heard rapids and larges amounts of footsteps heading towards us. Help must be coming!
The metal doors slam open and loads of soldiers flood into the room.
"Civilians are not permitted in the sharicite room! Put your hands in the air now!" The soldiers started shouting at us. Jenjen stood up off of me and slowly put her hands up. With that look on her face, she was clearly scarred for life.
I find the strength to stand up and I do so. I immediately regret doing so. When I get up, the soldier's' eyes went wide at me. They all started shouting at me.
"ON THE GROUND!"
"GET ON THE GROUND NOW!"
"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!" The soldiers wouldn't stop shouting at me. That's when I saw something weird. A HUD appeared in front of me. A very high tech one too. The HUD identified the soldiers and told me their names. THEIR NAMES! It even told me what weapons they were holding. I figured at this point, I had to be wearing some pair of high tech goggles or a high tech visor. Even though I'm an engineer, this is beyond anything I've ever seen.
"DON'T YOU DARE THINK ABOUT FLYING AWAY!" They shouted.
Flying...away..? I was so confused. I thought that maybe I there was something in that ice cream. But then again, I never ate it. So what were they talking about? I then proceed to look behind me just in case they were somehow talking to someone behind me. When I looked behind me, I almost fainted.
On my back was cybernetic wings that seemed to be emitting some sort of green plasma. They were small, but still wings. Think of dragon wings but where the skin was suppose to be, there was green plasma.
I turned back to the soldiers and they were a whole lot closer than I remember. In fact that was the last thing I remembered before I was stabbed by a taser and blacked out.
...
I woke up in a strapped to a chair. A comfy chair, But I was still strapped down. I jerk my head up and looked around. I was in a dark room. I couldn't see anything. The HUD I had earlier was now gone. So were my wings. I felt like I was back to normal. I was somewhat relived. But I still had the problem of being tied to the chair.
I then heard the sound of a door opening then I heard the sound of high heels walking towards me.
"Listen." I start. "Things around here are getting kind of kinky and believe me when I say that normally, I don't mind that kind of stuff. But see I have more concerns for my sister and my own safety." I remarked.
The footsteps stumbled. "I-I-I assure you this is nothing kinky! Someone as great as me wouldn't do anything with some gross man like you!" A startled voice said.
I recognize that voice from somewhere...
"And don't worry about your sister. She is at your home with your family being supervised by SMD." The voice said. I recognize the voice.
"Forgive me for asking, but aren't you the oracle of Leanbox or something like that?" I question. I seriously think this is Chika. Then suddenly it hit me.
"WAIT A MINUTE MY FAMILY IS BEING WATCHED BY LEANBOX SMD?! WHY?! WHATS GOING ON HERE!?" I screamed. I was now having a extreme mixture of worrieness and fury.
Chika quietly chuckles. "Yes. It is I. The one and only beautiful oracle of Leanbox; Chi-"
"WHATS GOING ON HERE?!" I repeated again. I was getting tired of this girl's crap.
"That's what I should be asking you. I mean you DID just become the CPU candidate of Leanbox." She casually said.
WHAT...THE...ACTUAL...CRAP?!
