Author's Note: This is my first time writing a fanfic, so please do tell me if I make any mistakes. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy it.
"Ugh... my head hurts... Where... am I?"
Feeling the ground around her, a young little girl opens her eyes slowly as the smell of charred fleshed and smoke enter her nose
Wait, charred flesh and smoke?
Recognizing these otherwordly foreign stenches, she opened her eyes like a scalded cat.
The first thing she saw was a hand. A hand underneath a pile of rubble in a pool of dark red. It wasn't just any hand. On the ring finger of the hand rests a diamond with a familiar gold band attached to it.
Recognizing whose hand it was, she crawled slowly through the concrete ground, staining her clothes with brown and red in the process.
As she made her way to it, tears started flowing from eyes.
Clasping the hand with her own, she croaked hoarsely as she started sniffling a bit.
"Momma? *sniff* are you *sniff* alright?"
Her question was only met with silence as the blood reached her up to the end of her shirt.
If her mom's dead, where is everyone else?
Despite fearing that she already knew the answer to her question, she slowly lifted her body, using her arms and legs to support her weight.
Gazing at her surroundings, she gasped in horror as she beheld the sight around her.
Burning wrecks of rubble and steel, which she recognized were once buildings, surrounded her. Some still remain standing, albeit damaged. Corpses were strewn across everywhere, from the pavement to in between the rubble.
But the most terrifying of all was the things that caused it, the Honkai.
Beasts of white and purple roaming around, causing destruction whereever they go. Pale-skinned zombies blindly walking around, clothed in black and orange or sometimes red, with their weapons on hand.
She fell on her knees, cowering in fear of such terrifying creatures.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the hand of her deceased mother slowly turning pale, similar to those zombies she just saw moments ago.
The young girl dressed in a pair of shorts and a shirt, gazed silently in confusion as a black and orange scythe materialized in front of the hand.
Recognizing it as the same weapon that some of those zombies were using, she froze in horror as the now-pale hand of her mother grabbed the scythe's handle as the rubble started rising up.
From a distance, an enraged roar echoed across the city, snapping the girl back to her senses.
Trusting her instincts, the young light brown-haired girl got up her feet and began to run in the direction of the enraged roar.
Rising to her full height, a freshly converted Honkai Zombie dressed in orange and black locked her eyes to the little girl, who happened to be the nearest living creature nearby.
Bounding after the little girl, the Honkai Zombie dashed towards her prey.
The little girl on the other hand, dashed straigth to the nearest path clear of Honkai Beasts and Zombies, which happened to be an alleyway.
The little girl silently thought inside of her head about her current objectives
"It seems like the city itself is not safe at the moment. I should probably try to get out of here as soon as possible."
The little girl then took a quick turn to the left as the zombie tried to pounce on her, which the Honkai Zombie did not expect, causing it to overshoot a bit and slam it's scythe to the ground, acting as an anchor to stop the Honkai Zombie from smashing to the ground.
"If I can lose that zombie, I should be at least safe for now"
Thought the little girl as she glanced back to see if the zombie was still pursuing her.
To her horror, she saw the zombie pulling out her scythe from the ground and staring back at her.
As the zombie began to chase for her rabidly, she faced her front and to her surprise, saw that she was gonna end up on the streets once more.
A Honkai Beast suddenly appeared in front of the alley as it slowly walked on it's way two front arms and it's two smaller legs.
It hasn't seem to notice her though.
"No other choice, I just have to hope that it doesn't notice me."
Suddenly, her instincts kicked in and she felt something fast with a sharp edge moving towards her. Instictively, she side-stepped to the left and a large scythe came crashing down the ground.
Had it hit her, it would have sliced through her back like paper.
"How did that thing catch up to me so fast!?"
The sound of the scythe crashing into the ground had also alerted the Honkai Beast on the pavement outside of the alley.
The Beast then roared loudly, forcing the little girl to cover her ears.
The amount of time it took for the Honkai Beast to scream was enough for the Honkai Zombie to recover and slash the litlle girl sideways with her scythe.
Utilizing her small height to her advantage, the little girl ducked and continued running straight to the Honkai Beast.
The Honkai Beast was enraged and used its two stubby front legs to smash through the walls of the two buildings forming the alley, in an attempt to gain some space so that it maybe able to smash her when she gets close, inadvertently send some pieces of concrete down the little girl's direction.
However, the little girl dodged them all as she kept running straight towards the Honkai Beast as it recovers from it's own attack. The Honkai Zombie on the other hand, got hit by the bricks the Honkai Beast sent flying, momentarily stunning it as a brick flew to its head.
By the time the Honkai Zombie came to be, the little girl was already beneath Honkai Beast who then has just recovered from ita earlier attack.
Out of desperation, the Honkai Beast tried to jump and smash the little girl using it's own weight. As it jumped up, the little girl saw its back legs lift from the ground.
Taking this chance, the little girl jumped across the pavement, straight into the asphalt, grinding her forearm and legs against the asphalt, causing pain and some abrasions along her upper thighs and forearm as the Honkai Beast slammed into the pavement.
The shockwave, generated by the Honkai Beast smashing into the pavement sent the little girl tumbling and rolling to the middle of the road. The shockwave also destroyed the walls close to the Honkai Beast on both buildings that were forming the alley, causing parts of the two buildings to collapse as the shockwave had destroyed the support pillars holding those parts of the two buildings apart.
The concrete debris buried the Honkai Beast as it gave out a shrill cry.
Despite being sent flying by the shockwave by some meters, the little girl was still alive, albeit with some broken bones.
Thankfully, her spine was intact but the rest could not be said to the rest of her body. Her right arm was dislocated, which caused her to yelp as she landed on the ground, due to her correcting her stance midair to avoid damaging her neck or spine, the right side of her head is bleeding and her right ribcage is fractured on the side while her right hipbone was shattered. Most of the damge was to the right side of her body as she landed on the ground with the right side of her body.
An intense amount of pain erupted on the right side of her body, causing her to scream in pain as she felt her bones break, fracture and get dislocated.
All of this hasn't gone unnoticed.
The sound of the building collapsing and the cry of the Honkai Beast had caught the attention of the nearby Honkai in the vincinity. In addition to that, her scream had also garnered the attention of some of the Honkai within the nearby street and buildings, even on the air.
The little girl could barely open her eyes due to the intense pain that had caused her to black out moments ago.
"Is this the end for me?" She asked herself as she heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching rapidly to her position
"I wish I was born somewhere better for once" She lamented as she close her eyes and heard the sound of metal being dragged through the asphalt, followed by the sound of flesh being cut by something fast and sharp.
This was the end of Miho's life.
