Hello guys(and gals) out there, this is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction. I do not own Kantai Collections, only my OCs.
I failed.
The last thing that I remembered before I crashed down to the earth wings too tired to lift myself anymore, thinking to myself that whatever happens to me next will be my fate as dark shadowy figures closed in on me and I braced myself for my final moments living.
My beautiful homeland of Ur had been invaded and also betrayed from the inside out. As I closed my eyes, I recounted everything that happened during the past few days...first starting with the mysterious black circular stone that fell from the middle of the sky one day, landing in the fields outside of the town
"Mom, Dad look at what I found!" I could clearly hear a neighbor's kid exclaim in finding the dark spherical object like it just happened, I could even recount what happened afterwards with the parents of the kid praising him about his discovery but that's what evertything started to go downhill, starting with the disappearance of the kid a few days afterwards. "It will be no big deal, son" I remembered my father saying, "Here and there, something like this happens. We'll find him soon enough." and just the next day, my dad, the men that went with him and also the kid's parents disappeared also without a trace.
At that point, I was starting to get uneasy and so were all of the neighboring families that lived next door to me, we're a close knit community so if one person goes missing, we'll all pitch in but this time it was different. This time it wasn't just a little boy or a little girl who got lost in the woods or something but dozens of people all in the span of a just a few days later.
Eoa The Brave consulted the Elder later on that day was the next victim and all of us were shocked, as he was one of the town's champions who fought in dozens of wars against warring tribes and lived to tell the tale. As a result, the Elder called on everyone that night for an emergency meeting, and as everyone gathered around the fireplace inside the Elder's home that night, the air was tense.
"What do we do?" I remembered one man asking, "What about my wife, my kids and my parents? I cannot even get a moment's rest without feeling that one of them would disappear like everyone else!" he said his face, tone and his actions obviously angry and personally I can agree with him to a degree.
It felt uneasy for everyone and anyone to sleep at night, and the words that the Elder spoke that night didn't really help either. "This incident shall be investigated, for surely there must be a cause to all of this madness. It must be something that we cannot know of yet." but what he said didn't address any of our problems and instead made everyone even more on edge.
"Elder, I can't even make money nowadays!" exclaimed Momma Gi, "Nobody wants to be near here, its like this place just died!"
We all call her Momma Gi but nobody knows her real name or of her background, according to the old people in this community it was years ago when she arrived and the Elder took her in.
Ever since then, the population of the community grew to be a small town then to a larger one, and we all owe it to Momma Gi. Simply put, she is a magnet when it comes to people.
So when she decided to speak up, we knew that something was wrong. However the Elder ignored her questions that night...and thats when things really started to go downhill.
The very next morning we found Momma Gi in her bed with a dark purple foam coming out of her mouth, ears and nose while her eyes were staring up at the ceiling.
Then there were plans for people to move out of here, and that same night, we found the Elder also in the same way. Eyes dilated, staring up in fear but purple foam coming out of the mouth, ears and nose.
That's where the sanity ended as people all over the town started reporting dark shadowy figures dressed in all black and how more and more people disappear every single day.
Until one day even my mom and my younger siblings disappeared, and seeing that the townspeople were correct about the figures in the shadows, I ran for my life. At first running and then flying but no matter how much I tried to get away... I never got that far away.
And that's where I am now, about 10 days later and going to die. I could sense at least a dozen of the figures as they walked out of the shadows and walk over towards me.
"No matter how much you try to run, you will never get away from me." It said in a monotonous voice. "My orders are to kill you, no exceptions."
I braced myself for my doom, I was actually going to die here all alone, the other shadowy figures circling me in an decagonal shape while the one that was closest to me drew its sword which it placed on my neck.
"Getting rid of you will fully eliminate the Vermillion clan." It said, still monotonous as usual, "You should be grateful that your death is likely going to be the last."
I wanted to scream, shout and much more but all that I could muster was a sharp raspy breath. "Dammit, its no use..." I thought to myself as the figure raised the sword high into tge air, the moonlight making the sword glint.
"...Then if I die, I'm going to take all of you with me!" I said in my thoughts as I gathered huge amounts of energy in one place, the shadowy figures weren't noticing so with the last of my strength.
I raspily muttered, " Burn to nothing, Flammenzündung." as a huge ball of bright yellow flames ignite in a circle around myself and rapidly gets larger, within seconds consumed both myself and all of the shadowy figures that surrounded me.
Hearing the sounds of the creatures screaming out in pain, I took one last deep breath, and since I could barely see... I used my Aura to "look" around to find that all of them had their life force extinguished except for one.
"Haha, that's what you get for messing with the Vermillion clan." I thought in my head, but in reality I can already tell that the last of them will probably finish the job that the first failed to accomplish.
"Avenging their deaths while killing you, it will be my greatest Honor" it said in the same monotonous voice as the first, but with a lower pitch.
Instead of bringing down the dagger, he raised his right hand as a dark ball of energy formed that had a purple glow to it.
"I'll have to be careful with you birdy, who knows if I am your next victim." The voice now clearly evidently male, stated. However before he had a chance, a matching purple portal forms above him.
"The higher up want you more, I'm taking it that you must be a very important thing for them to have in their possession." He stated as he grabs the back of my shirt as we felt lighter by the second, slowly lifting into the air.
That's all for the prologue, I'll see how it goes. Sort of simply dove into this.
