After the Explosion
Chapter 1: A Capital in Ruins
As the sun rises to a beatiful day, it shines down on a destroyed city. There are damaged buildings, highways destroyed, and a massive hole of water; Neo Tokyo. Just hours earlier in the night, the city was destroyed by Akira when Takashi used his powers break the glass in order to stop Tetsuo. Akira was a child with physic powers that destroyed the original Tokyo many years ago and ignited World War III. Now, the capital that had replaced the original was clearly in ruins. Millions of people dead in just a matter of hours.
The massive hole of water was (what used to be) the Olympic Stadium. Neo-Tokyo was selected to host the 2020 Olympics. It was also the site where Akira's remains were contained, and the battle between Tetsuo and Kei. Now, it's nothing but just simply full of water along with the areas surrounding it. As for the city itself, most parts were destroyed or ultimately wiped out from the map. Despite this, there were parts where the mighty tall buildings still stand along with the roads and streets.
Meanwhile, outside Neo-Tokyo, Colonel Shikishima was outside the tunnel in which one of the Espers told him to go into to survive. He walked out, astonished to see what is left of the city. Then suddenly, a helicopter pops-up out of nowhere. It was the Japanese army.
The Colonel looks up at the helicopter landing in the middle of the road. A door open
"Sir!" says one of the members. He follows orders, and get's on. They give the Colonel a salute when he boarded. The door closes. Shorty after, the helicopter takes off and starts flying over the destroyed city.
"Any of you got info on what happened?" said the Colonel.
"We'll explain en route." said one of the members.
