Chapter one: a new world.
"Well that was a rough day." Sachika Tsutano said.
"Does that even need to be said? Three detentions each and we got caught in the rain during P.E!" said Amelia Hashira, her adopted sister.
"Uhhggg, please don't make it any worse by reminding me!"
"Okay, okay, sorry." Amelia apologized. She then brightened up and said:
"Well, that can't stop us from going home!"
Grabbing Sachika by the arm, she pulled her along the pavement.
"Oh yeah! We got episode two of Attack on Titan to watch!"
"Even if the books aren't in the library yet, we can watch the anime series!"
Sachika heard someone on their left, a little girl, say:
"Wait up nii-san!"
The girl had fallen in the road while chasing her brother, and he was now going over to help her up.
Suddenly, a car came racing down the T-junction, well over the speed limit.
Sachika darted forward and pulled the girl to her feet, while Amelia shoved the brother to the side like a freight train.
They only had time to try and get to the pavement, before the driver hit the brakes in vain and crushed them under the wheel.
The last thing they saw was the horrified and angry faces of the siblings they had rescued.
-Line break! -
Floating. The two girls were floating in a black, seemingly never-ending, space.
There were several lights no bigger than a speck of dust, but emitting soft glows of constantly changing colors, which was soothing to watch, and felt pleasantly warm.
"Welcome you two!" a girl dressed in a shrine maiden outfit had suddenly appeared next to the two. "I must say, that was a valiant act!" she flipped upside down to look at the two confused girls.
"What happened?!" Sachika yelled at the shrine maiden.
"Where are we?! What are you gonna do to us?!" Amelia added.
"well, aren't you eager!" she laughed lightly and teleported to behind the two girls.
"to answer your questions, you died in a car crash after saving two siblings,-" the sisters exchanged horrified looks, "you are in spirit zero and I'm going to give you three choices."
"Well what are those choices?!" Sachika yelled hysterically. "I don't want to be dead, or in this zero whatever place!"
"calm down!" Amelia said, restraining Sachika.
"listen, the choices are your own, you can choose either, but no swapping."
Three bright portals appeared at the wave of the shrine maidens hand; one blue, one white and one gold.
"the blue will take you to heaven where you will have all you need. The white will take you home for three days more."
"and the gold…?" Sachika and Amelia chorused.
"well, the gold will take you to a universe of your choosing."
The maiden flipped onto her back in the space.
"but your choices if you wouldn't mind."
Sachika turned around and floated back a few paces, Amelia following.
"a-are we really-?"
"dead? Yes… why did we pause when we got up?! We could have lived!" Sachika sobbed, knees to her chin and tears pouring down her face.
"Sachi..!"
"no! we were too careless! I, I don't … wanna be dead…"
"Sachika Fuyuko Tsutano!" Amelia yelled; stunning Sachika into silence.
"we may be dead, but we have 2 choices to live again! To live 3 days with loved ones, friends and family or to brave a new world!"
"b-but-"
"BUT NOTHING! WE SHOULD CHOOSE BETWEEN THOSE TWO, LIKE IT OR NOT!"
"then I choose to live in a new world."
"don't you want to see your mother and father again?"
"yes, but knowing I would die three days later would make it painful to look at their faces… I wouldn't be able to bear it…"
"well I'll go with you!" at Sachika's surprised and tear stained face she added "we may not be related, but we're sisters, and I will follow you everywhere."
"but don't you want to see them?"
"what did I just ask?"
"r-right… "
"shall we tell the girl? Or do you not want to go to a new universe?"
Sachika paused and then said confidently "lets go to where we've always wanted!"
The shrine maiden popped into their space, startling the girls slighty.
"well? Where do you want to go?"
"we want to go to-"
Meanwhile…
A dark brown haired boy was crying; his hand held below his chin as he stared unseeingly at it, on a boat with many on-board to a safer place.
"it's all over…" he thought.
"humanity is done for, and we are gonna be eaten by them… I'll never be able to go home! In the end all I could do was be stubborn, and now mom's gone! Why…?"
Rage burning in his eyes, he stood up abruptly, knocking the arm of the ravenette next to him.
"Eren?" she said which caught the attention of the blond boy next to him.
"I'm gonna destroy them! EVERY LAST ONE OF THOSE ANIMALS… THAT'S ON THIS EARTH!"
