PROLOGUE
"Peace in Edelstein!" Belle shouted to the top of her lungs.
"We will protect Edelstein because we are heroes!" Elex announced as his voice rose with every word.
"I want to be the Black Wings!" I joined in on our game of Mesorangers. They all stared at me, giving me every single kind of disagreement they could.
"You can't be a bad guy Yui, we're all Mesorangers and we're supposed to hate and beat the bad guys!" Is what Brighton told me, pointing his small finger in my face.
I gave him a good pout but gave up eventually and decided to be one of the Mesorangers'. After awhile of running around and stabbing lifeless stumps (because to us they're the Black Wings!). When the sun began to set and our water bottles were all empty, we decided to call it a day.
"We can continue this battle for justice later." Claudine yawned, stretching her arms. I nodded in agreement and jumped off the bench I was standing on, claiming justice.
"I still have to pick up an order from the bakery, so I'll go on ahead." I told them.
Claudine, Belle, Elex, Brighten and I all exchanged our goodbyes for the day and I headed off in the opposite direction. They were all neighbors while I lived in the other side of town, but since my side is filled with so much seniors, I always go to the other side where the park is and that's basically how I met the four of them.
On my way to pick up the bread my mom ordered, a chill flew up and down my spine and it caused me to shiver. I brushed it off though since I always got this kind of feeling when I was alone on this creepy sidewalk. I constantly feel like I'm being watched, and not by my reflection in the puddles. Halfway there, I reached into the back pocket of my jeans and took out the loose mesos that sat inside.
I accidentally dropped all of the coins and grumbled in frustration as I bent down and looked everywhere for the mesos that I dropped. I looked at the palm of my hand that held onto all the money I found so far and frowned. "This isn't enough for the sweet bread that mom wanted. That means I'm still missing some coins!" I continued to look around the street until I only had to find one more coin left. Suddenly, I saw something shining from not too far from where I was. "That must be the missing coin!" I exclaimed and ran over. It was the meso and I happily bent down to pick it up. Unfortunately, I was so overjoyed that I didn't realize that the coin I picked up was merely inches from a man that I had never seen before.
I stared at the man intently, but he only continued to smirk. "Hello?" I said, using a confused tone. "I'm not supposed to talk to strangers but if you have have a reason for standing in my way... Please tell me."
"She's perfect," The man whispered under his breath, but it was loud enough for me to hear.
"E-Excuse me?" I stuttered but I soon found myself unable to say anything else as rusty metal hands clutched over my mouth. My heart began to pound and I tried to scream but nobody was around to hear my muffled screams. I was able to turn my head slightly only to see two robots that hovered in the air, grabbing me out of force.
"Now, now. The more you restrain the more it's going to hurt." The man smirked and walked up to me, holding a device up to my face. Tears welled in my eyes from fear and confusion. The last thing I could hear was the sound of the coins falling out of my hands and the last thing I could see was a giant flash of light coming out of the strange device, and everything went black.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Since this is just the prologue, it was really short. When I post the actual chapters, I'll try to make them all long as I can. :)
