Well I have been getting a rapid influx of ideas of stories that I think may be good idea…at least in theory.
If you are reading this then may be expecting a slight change where ichika has a slight personality change or change in his history but only a small one. This is not small change I am going to drastically change the way this show goes but the plots will intersect at some points.
My name is Ichika Orimura, I am a normal 12 year old kid except that my sister happens to be one of the world's greatest I.S. pilots. An I.S. is a form of power armor that was meant for space travel but when governments of the world found that it was more advance then pretty much everything in their arsenal…well you can guess what happened. Any ways my sister Chifuyu-nee is an exceptional pilot according to judges, and that attracts attention both good and bad.
I have recently come into bad kind of attention seeing as I just woke up in the back of van with a guy holding a gun to my face. I could be worse they could have gotten my younger twin Madoka she went with her friends to watch Chifuyu-nee's tournament in Italy. Ah yes I forgot to mention that I.S. tournaments are popular probably as big as the Olympics if not bigger. I was about to go home and watch it but these guys pull up and knock me out for no reas… wait a moment.
The man who was holding a gun to my face chuckled a bit "sorry we had to be so rough kid" his voice lacked sympathy "but we have certain friends who don't want your pretty sister to win the I.S. tournament." So that was there plan the moment he said that I started to struggle but I was tied up tightly "don't try kid by some act of fate we were too late to get the message sadly this means were not getting paid so that means we need to make another profit off of you" this made me relieved that they couldn't accomplish their plans, but scared of what they were going to do with me now.
"Can it, dumbass." said the driver "we're here." The man with gun grabbed me by the back of the collar and dragged me out of the back of the van.
"Well, well," said a salty voice that could be identified with a stereotypical pirate "if it isn't the Shade Trio" the man who was driving the van looked like he was about to respond but the voice continued "Save it I know the drill, you screwed up a job again still have the hostage and want to make a quick profit off of it" the man sighed as the shade trio nodded "you guys are hopeless, well let me see it" the man who had a hold on me forced me around to the front me being tied up I tripped and landed on the ground "hmm, I'll give five hundred for him" said the pirate guy and he tossed over a wad of cash which the three kidnappers caught the pirate guy then turned to me "alright boy you're coming with me, I know some paramilitary groups in Africa looking for new blood" the man made gesture and another man this one being extremely ripped picked me up and carried me aboard a ship that was behind them.
After a few minutes I felt the ship lurch and move that's when it hit me I may never see my sisters again, you may be wondering why I am not worried about my parents well that's because they abandoned us at a young age and can rot in hell for all I care. Any ways still sad about my sisters and I felt tears come to my eyes.
We were a few miles out from the harbor and I got moved to a cell in the brig with me being the only occupant when the ship shook violently. "We're under attack" yelled crew member from the ships PA system "all gunners get to your station there is an I.S. out there, load the guns with the depleted-U rounds." Another explosion rocked the ship "come on boys we trained for this!"
Chifuyu P.O.V.
Damn it I am so frustrated. Someone came and stole my brother because I wasn't there to protect him, the frustration also grew knowing that because of me he is in the position he's in now. Luckily the German government intercepted a transmission between the kidnappers and their employers and tracked the kidnappers van to a harbor where one of their agents saw the transaction. So I chased them out to sea where I began attacking the ship.
It wasn't long before they returned fire with AA guns. I scoffed at this; did they really think that a normal gun could face against an I.S.? But I became shocked when a few bullets hit my shield causing significant damage. Shit, I need to be more careful around them. Several more bullets hit my shields causing me to pull back, this is odd normal pirates aren't this well trained.
Nameless Pirate captain POV
Damn and here I thought we made a good deal but what those three idiots forgot to mention that the kid was related to the world's greatest I.S. pilot Chifuyu Oriumura. The only thing keeping us alive is the fact she needs to get close to the ship to hurt us. Depleted uranium rounds, good investment captain good investment. But they were expensive and this was dragging on to long "Alright boys" I shouted out "get the disrupter rockets we are ending this now" Disruptor rockets another specialized ammo investment I made they were devised by various anti-government factions around the world to counter I.S., they work and needless to say the countries with I.S. capabilities made them illegal so they will have less issues during I.S. operations. Nothing a trip to your local black market dealer won't solve. Basically I sends out an EMP that shuts down I.S.'s for a few hours. High tech battle suit my ass.
"Disrupter rockets locked and ready captain!" informed one of my men, a feral grin spread across my face.
"FIRE" I shouted and four launchers simultaneously went off all going after that pestering I.S. "Gunners keep her boxed in I want these to hit anti-I.S. ammo is expensive" a resounding noise of cheers was heard around the deck as the rockets impacted the target shutting it down. "Good job boys you can expect a bonus by the end of the week!" another round of cheers went around.
A few hours later a crew member walked up to me nervously he's one of the green horns I hired at the beginning of the month. "Um, captain?" said rook nervously "W-we have a problem"
"What is it boy?" I demanded "spit it out!" he seemed fearful now.
"Well one of the I.S. earlier strikes damaged our ammo dump and well…" I had a bad idea of where this was going "some of our explosives have become unstable" I was about to respond when a bright light enveloped the ship. In my last moments of life I realized that the explosives went off and due to some investments are pretty high grade….we are not going to survive this.
The ARK a few days later, Nick Range
"hmmm…." I grumbled as I stared out into the vast ocean, I wonder if I'll ever see land. You may wonder why I think this. Well I'm on a place called the ARK it's a floating city made of advance technology mainly renewable sources of energy and a substance called arkoral I'm not to savy on the science behind but apparently its mutated coral that when it hardens it's ten times tougher than steel ten times lighter too. Well that's the deal in the original ark I'm in the 'guest' area made out cannibalized ships why? Well about forty years ago some environmentally odd things happened like crops didn't grow as much and sea levels rose some big businesses freaked out and claimed that the land was dying so everyone near a costal port or airport began looking for the ARK by whatever means they could. Even though the founders…people that paid for the ark… moved it thousands found it. Well forty years later everything is crapping out on us and no one has come looking so the founders in all their wisdom(sarcasm) claimed that everyone outside the ark is dead, water rations are getting smaller, guest are getting annoyed, security is getting edgy. Well I'm part of the group called the resistance we are a somewhat new group and it'll take a few years before we get operational, but our goals are to overthrow the founders, end water rationing, and search for life outside the ark. Someday this will happen and I'm going to be one of the people making it happen!
I'm an anger by the way it's a archetype in the resistance, I was one of the first to join up because I was so angry with the way the founders treat us so I got to be an anger job is to throw off security while the others set up so security doesn't crack down on them.
I looked out into the ocean again this time something catching my eye I pick up my somewhat dirty binoculars and look through them. "What the hell!" I shouted out there hanging on to a life saver was person. I quickly jumped on to a jet ski kept near the edge of the ARK and drove out to the person. When I got out there I was shocked that I was the just a kid. He looked like he was of Asian descent; I pulled him on to my jet ski along with the life saver and drove back to the ARK. Only thoughts in my head are that Chen will want to see him.
Ichika POV
I woke up in a dim room I could smell the ocean which would make sense being taken captive on a ship but I also smelled rust. I walked out the door I saw what looked like a city made out of messily stacked shipping containers "Where am I" I said to myself
"so you don't speak English" said a voice in English next to me "well good thing I brought Chang here" I turned and there was a Caucasian man in a baggy pants a hood with a bandana with a somewhat intimidating stitched smile covering his mouth sitting against the container I was in while I man who looked Chinese was standing next to him.
"Yeah, one problem with that" said the Chinese man looking down "I don't speak Japanese I speak Chinese"
"There's a difference!" said the Caucasian man while the chinese man sighed
"Yes Nick there's a difference" said Chang "Chinese comes from china Japanese comes from Japan"
"um I speak a little english" I said in the best English I could muster, and they both looked at me
"well that makes my job easier" said the one known as Nick he got up and stood at an impressive 5' 9" "my name is Nick my job is to escort you to Brother Chen"
"Wait" I said "can you tell me where I am"
"Container city" replied Nick as if I was suppose to know what it means "Pelgo 17?" still confused "the ARK?" what the hell? Surprise went over both of their faces and turned to each other and began muttering in some language I couldn't understand them but the tone of their voices sounded urgent. "Alright" said nick spinning around "we need you to see Chen now!" he then picked me up tossed me over his shoulders and ran off carrying me on his back with Chang close behind.
We ran for fifteen minutes straight which was impressive in my case because in gym after we take the 8-minute run everyone is panting while these two are hardly sweating. We came to a makeshift dwelling that didn't stick out in its surroundings. Nick opened the door while Chang kept watch "Where's Chen I have a kid from the outside world!"
"What!" came a unanimous reply in various accents "Nick if you are shitting us…"
"I'm not!" replied Nick setting me down "He had no idea what the ARK was!" he explained gesturing to me
"maybe he's mentally disabled" came a voice. I grumbled at that
"Then how does he know two languages" countered Nick, the guys looked at him apparently without a comeback
"What's this I hear about someone from the outside world" Came a voice that seemed kind but also demanded respect while carrying wisdom.
"Brother Chen!" came the awed voices of all who gathered
For those of you unfamiliar with brink which I think is least known among the two and Wikipedia gives too long of an explanation.
Brink takes place on the ARK a floating city created by the worlds geniuses funded by the worlds billionaires. Any ways it became a refugee center after sea waters rose causing global panic so thousands fled to the ARK. The refugees the ones who found it by chance are called guests they live in the slums, while those invited are called founders and live in luxury. Forty years later the ark is breaking down and tensions between the Guests and the Founder rose to the 'Brink' of civil war guests formed the resistance to escape the ark and look for life in the outside world and end water rationing while the founders and their Security force want to stop them.
Warning! I am going to make the founders a lot worse then they originally were.
