Rena walked me out of the house down to the small clearing, where I saw the man I met earlier with a prosthetic arm, slashing at a training dummy. As I got closer I saw it was definitely not a fake arm. It had a wicked looking claw at the end of it, with a small hole in the middle, probably for exhaust of heat. An array of red wires ran up the length of it to his shoulder, and those were covered with small metal brackets evenly spaced out.

"What do you want." His voice startled me, and frankly scared me. He had this odd way that made his question sound like a statement instead. He hadn't looked away from his target either.

Rena, however, seemed unfazed by his cool attitude. She ran up frombehind him and looped her arms around his stomach, squeezing herself against him. "Raaaaaveeeennnn, don't be so rude! You're supposed to be nice to new people!"

"Hello, Rena." I could have sworn at that moment I saw his face get just the slightest bit softer, if only for a brief second. "Hello, new person."

Rena giggled and let go of him, wrapping her arm around me and walking me away. "That's about as nice as he gets, don't worry though, he's a nice guy." I looked at her questioningly, and she laughed. The hell is her definition of nice...

I let out a small yelp as I tripped and fell into a small pile of mud. I looked down and saw my clothes were covered in mud. I heard a loud laugh behind me.

"This clutz is going to be our new teamate?" I heard more laughter and turned around to meet it. I saw a small red-headed boy, with a sword strapped to his back. "Oi! Clutz! I'm Elsword, and I can walk perfectly fine!" He ran around a little to emphasize his point. He was jogging back to us, but was clothes lined by a small purple stick.

"Hey, Eldork, be nicer to people." A girl with short purple hair stepped on Elsword to walk up and over him, but he grabbed her leg and pulled her down. The next few minutes was a chorus of "Idiot!"'s, "Tomboy!"'s, and various other insults (along with a large dust cloud), until Rena walked over and grabbed them both by their collars.

"Now now...what did we talk about you two?" I could tell from the looks on their faces that the womans' friendly tone betrayed her murderous aura. They both pleaded forgiveness to Rena, over exaggerating a little bit, if you ask me.

After the two had stood up and brushed their clothes off, Elsword stalked away, grumbling to himself, while the girl stayed back and curtsied. "I'm Aisha, a pleasure to me-" She was cut off as a small rock hit her in the back of the head, and she ran off. "Elsword I will kill you with my bare hands!"

Rena let out a long sigh, before turning to me and saying "The one with cute-purple hair is Aisha," she leaned in a little closer, "and admittedly she IS a bit of a tomboy." She pointed to her chest to exaggerate her meaning. "The red-head was Elsword, if you didn't catch that. He's actually got a sister who's...well she's basically an older him." Her face got darker for only a second. "She's been missing for years now...poor kid." She quickly changed back to her usual demeanor, "Shall we continue?"

Rena showed me to the armory, where I would be picking my weapon for our travels. I looked over this massive room of...well, rusty and crappy weapons. But one in particular caught my eye, a large cannon. It was white with small black diamond-shaped holes. I went to pick it up only to see why I should never touch that cannon.

"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" I heard a voice cry out, before I felt an immense force tackle me to the ground.

As soon as I felt the person get off me, I flipped around and propped myself up on my elbows. A small girl stood next to the cannon frantically checking its ports and exhausts.

I felt Rena's hand pick me up off the ground. "I want you to meet Chung Sei-" she cut herself off, "Chung, he's a bit...eccentric about his cannon." I was about to ask her why she cut herself off, when a different question entered my mind.

"He?" I looked back at the gir-boy, the boy, and saw he hadn't even noticed the world outside his cannon. Rena had burst out in laughter, apparently this happened a lot. A small girl with white hair walked in however, and slapped Chung. She looked cool and calm while doing it, as if training a pet.

"You are being rude to our new ally, show respect and dignity to new people." She stepped forward and bowed slightly. Her movements were fluid and smooth, elegant, but it looked...programmed, almost. "I am Eve, heir to the Nasodian race," she gestured to Chung, "I apol-". She was cut off as Rena started pinching her cheeks. "Rena I have asked politely a multitude of times that you not perform this action.

"Eve you are just TOO cute, how could I not?"

Eve blushed lightly before turning away and walking out of the small shed. She beckoned to Chung on her way out, and he followed.

I looked to Rena, who was cleaning up the mess Chungs' outburst had made. "Nasodian?

Rena laughed, a melodic sound, and looped her arm around me, pulling me into a one-sided hug. "We have a LOT to talk about. Me and the girls will explain it in the springs later."

My face grew red "S-Springs? Can't we just...do I have to?" Rena gave a sort of...squeal almost.

"You and Aisha are both so cute, embarrassed about being nude." She drew "nude" out, and made me cringe inside on the reasons I had to not want to be in such a state with a woman like Rena. I glared at her chest as we walked back outside. Rena had stopped snickering, and walked me out to the training grounds again. "I can introduce you to Ara at the spring, she's meditating right now."

I tried to stutter out a thank you, but Rena slapped a hand to her forehead. "Crap! I'm supposed to make dinner!" I turned and looked to the sky, I hadn't even noticed the sun had gone down. Rena was sprinting back to the small home when I turned around. "We'll figure everything out for you later!"

I looked at Raven, still training his blade, at Elsword and Aisha still barking at each other, at Eve sitting in the grass, tinkering with her drones, at Chung sitting next to her, asking her technical questions. I held my hands up to my face and wonderedhow I would fit in with this group of...adventurers? I think that's what Glave called them.

The thought jolted through my head. How many of them knew about this? Which of them were actually from this world? Did I know any of these people? My thoughts drifted to...to...

...To who? I began to panic. I couldn't remember any of the names of the people I knew back home. My friends bright red hair stood out in my memory, a bully's psychotic eyes flashed through, but I couldn't remember any of them. My knees felt like jelly and I fell to the ground, almost ready to throw up. Where did I live? What was my name? Where did I go to school? What was I taking? Was I dream-

My rapid thoughts were silenced all at once by a metal hand on my shoulder. "The past will eat you alive if you think about it too much. You're here now. Make do with it." I turned around, watching Raven walk back to the house. I smiled softly, barely noticeable. I had a new found respect for the man who had treated me so coldly earlier.

Fuck it. I stood up and brushed the grass and dirt off my clothes, I looked like a mess. Whoever I was in the past is gone. I turned to the house, and knew that starting today, I would be a new person.

And the new girl would be damned if she was going to go crazy.

A/N: So...here it is? I took so much time to do it, sorry about that, easily distracted. But...yeah, enjoy and review!
