Hey this is the beta of the original story, which AliasPseudo was an incredibley amazing person and looked it over for me. I hope you enjoy!

Kira was bored.
Really bored.
In fact she was so bored that she was contemplating playing a prank on her cousin Lily, who was also her house mate, but decided against. The last time she played a prank on Lily she ended up having to be with John "Probie Executioner" Steiner during one of her certification runs on the ambulance. Speaking of Steiner he was the reason Kira didn't want to go to the fire house; today was probie initiation day and she didn't feel like watching the hot head rookies get their heads deflated. It was also Wednesday, and that meant no classes or activities until at least five.
Just great.
With a great big huff Kira rose from the beat up blue couch, the cop show only had the officers crouching and hiding, not the shot out Kira was hoping for. Maybe eating a sandwich would alleviate her boredom. Hey, who said hungry college students thought in a logical manner, she almost made it to the fridge.
Key word 'almost' because just then her living room exploded.
.:o0o:.
Well actually 'saying' her living room exploded isn't completely true; there were explosions, but no living room.
You heard me right: Kira's living room disappeared and left a raging battle field in its wake.
Kira fell on her ass as a rocket flew over her head. The violent blast of an explosion sent her flying. Her long blonde hair was charred at the ends and her right arm had major road rash. But that didn't even register in Kira's mind; her firefighter training pushed her to move away from the danger. She spied a mainly intact building at her two o'clock and bolted. She tried to back paddle away from a huge machine's foot, but her foot slipped from underneath her.
'That's impossible. T-h-he technology doesn't exist.' In her three and half years of studying electrical and mechanical engineering she had never seen a machine that massive work.
A gigantic, humanoid, mobile, war machine.
Kira tried to shuffle backwards on the ground, but it was too late. The war machine had spotted her its hand was enclosing on her. 'Oh my god, I'm going to die.' Was her last thought before an explosion outside of the hand knocked her out.
