I've been wanting to do this for a long time, and it feels so good to finally get around to it. This is gonna be fun!

Long ago, humanity made great strides in understanding science.

They were ready to introduce the next step of human evolution and creation.

The most powerful minds gathered voluntary subjects and began the first part of their project.

From there, the first generation of the beings simply referred to as "Ultra's" were born.

Within mere years, scientist were able to evolve from gifting individuals with great powers to being able to create life from scratch without any means of differentiating between born and manmade.

The Ultra's, as gifted as they were, were accepted into society and welcomed as any other human would.

But as time went on, equality for the Ultra's began to waver. No longer were they seen as any other individual, but treated as outsiders and experiments gone wrong.

This anger in them incited a war between humans and Ultra's.

Yet, despite the Ultra's feats, humanity's knowledge over them led them to to victory.

In a final act, humans used the very last of their resources from the experiments to seal the Ultra's away to the world below and created a shield that would ensure they would never escape.

Now, in the year 20XX…

The knowledge of the Ultra's remains nothing more than a myth and the location the Ultra's were sealed, Mt. Ebott, remains a mere mountain that very few dare to tread.

For it is said, those foolish enough to journey there…

Never return.

A soft groan echoed throughout the large empty space. The human figured laid in a pile of yellow flowers, slowly and shakily picked himself up. Rubbing his head, he looked up and the saw the faint light coming from the hole he fell from.

"Damnit… I must have fell in. Guess this is what I get for not listening to them."

Managing to stand himself up, dusting off his red and black jacket and black pants before he looked around him, darkness swallowing every corner save for a short path in front of him.

"Where… where am I?"

With no other option, he decided to head down the path. At the end, he found an opening and went inside. Darkness was all around him, save for a small light shinning down a few feet away from him. He walked up to it and found a woman in a blue dress and white boots sitting on a small patch of grass with her legs folded, her hands together and her eyes closed, looking like she was meditating.

"Um… excuse me?"

She opened her eyes and looked at him, bright yellow pupils staring at him, as she smiled, "Hi there! I'm Usui!"

She moved to stand up, but he was taken back when she instead started to levitate about a foot off the ground and eight more arms appeared from her back.

"No way… an Ultra?! I thought those were just a myth!"

"I haven't seen you before. Are you new to the Underground?"

"Uh… I guess so. I…"

"In fact, now that I look at you, you're a human, aren't you?" She cocked her head as she eyed him.

"Y-Yeah, I am."

"Then I guess I better teach you how we do things down here."

He was caught by surprise, "Really? You're actually going to help me?"

"Of course! If I let you go on completely clueless, there's no telling what will happen to you out here. Well, let's get started!"

Usui released a strange power that engulfed the remaining bit of light in darkness, and he was shocked to find both him and her body were now completely black and white.

"What the- What's going on?!"

"Don't worry, this is what we do here! Now, do you see that heart in front of you?"

He looked down and saw a bright red heart floating in front of him, the bright red hue surrounded it in a warmth and a comforting feeling. He reached out to touch it and found that it followed his hand movements. "W… What is this?"

"That's your soul, the very culmination of your being. Right now it's pretty weak, but I can help you make it strong by giving you LOVE."

"LOVE?"

"That's right! Here, I'll give you some LOVE," White petals appeared above her, "These little white friendliness pellets here will help you. Here, grab as many of them as you can with your soul!"

The pellets moved towards him and he reached his hand out, holding his soul out. But the moment the pellets touched the heart, his entire body was wracked in an intense pain. He screamed as he dropped to his knees, looking down at his body that was now covered in deep scratched, his heart was thudding in his chest and his breath was wracked. The light surrounding his soul had dimmed and he could have sworn he saw cracks forming in it.

"U… Usu-i…!"

When he looked back up at Usui, the warm happy smile on her face was replaced with a psychotic grin, her yellow pupils seeming to have shrunk.

A maniacal laugh erupted from her mouth, "You really are such an idiot! Why would anyone pass up an opportunity like this?!" An evil glint shinned in her eyes, "In this world, it's KILL or BE KILLED!"

His entire body was surrounded by the white pellets.

"NOW DIE!"

The pellets slowly closed in on him, up close they looked like small sharp blades. He tried move, but his entire body was numbed by the pain. He shut his eyes tight, the sound of Usui's crazed laughter filled his ears as he waited for the inevitable pain.

But it never came.

Instead, he felt his body enraptured by a warm sensation as the pain quickly dulled away, the cuts were healed and the tears in clothes were mended. He opened his eyes again and saw Usui with an utterly confused look on her face.

"W-What the..?"

Before she could react, a bolt of blue lightning came down and struck her in the back. She let out a scream and quickly fled. He picked up the sound of approaching footsteps coming closer along with a male voice.

"Talk about a terrible being, torturing an innocent, defenceless being."

The figure came into vision. It was a young man, clothed in simple jeans and shirt covered by a puffy jacket, a pair of headphones hanging on his neck and long hair went down his shoulders. His body was black and white, just like his. The man came close to him and held out his hand.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. My name's Aoba, I'm the caretaker of these ruins."

Seeing a genuine helpfulness in his eyes, he grabbed his hand as the strange field around them faded, the previous small field of grass returned and the color on his body was back. He saw the color return to Aoba, revealing most of his clothing to be blue, save for the slight white and yellow on his jacket, his hair to be light blue, the headphones on his neck a bright pink and his calming eyes to be a light olive green.

"I pass through the ruins everyday. You're the first human to fall here in a long time."

"This is where all those people who came to Mt. Ebott are? Wonder how many of them ran into Usui."

Aoba turned away and looked back at him, "Follow me, I'll guide you through the catacombs."

Feeling much more safer now, he followed after Aoba, hoping that things would be much more safer now and readying himself for whatever else he might find in the Underground.

Hope you all are excited for what is going to come. I sure am!
