Before reading.
I would like to tell that English is not my first language, so grammar errors are bound to happen at times. I will do my best do minimize them.
Please, enjoy my story… That sounded a little selfish.
"So… did you manage to… sleep yesterday?" A brown haired teenager asked his friend at the bus.
"Not much," The black haired boy said before yawning. "I'm guessing you didn't sleep either."
"Try to with your parents yelling about an earthquake." The teenager said. The black haired one just agreed to that. It was really believable.
Most people on the town did not sleep well on the last night due to a quick earthquake that happened on the town. It wasn't very strong and did not destroy any building, but was strong enough to shake things up and wake up the people, making them have enough adrenaline to not sleep for a while.
"My father said this region is not supposed to have any of these kinds of disasters. Or so told the man who sold our house back when he moved here." The brown haired teenager said and looked at the window.
"I guess so." The black haired said and yawned. "What I wouldn't do to get some sleep now."
"I'm surprised nothing fell apart, not even that place." The friend said and pointed at the large building visible through the window.
"Techorp(1)? Why?"
"It is a tall building, doesn't that mean an earthquake has higher chances of making it fall?"
"I… don't really know actually. Ask the teacher." The black haired boy said. The brunette shrugged and closed his eyes to try get some sleep.
The black haired one kept looking at the building in the distance. Techorp, one of the corporations with the worst name and with the largest fortune. It is about twenty-three years old and have a vast variety of electronics of high quality developed on their name. Larger than Microsoft and Sony combined. Their building on the town is just a center to administer deliveries on the state.
The dream of the boy with black hair is to work there someday as one of the higher ups. It is a very prestigious job on the town. Second only to mayor.
While gazing at the building, the boy for a moment saw a blur passing next to the bus. "Huh!?" He gasped surprised and blinked twice before thinking it was just his tiredness playing with his mind.
"I really need a map to guide me through this place." A bunny like critter commented to himself as it flies through the town, using his psychic powers to do so. "I… might have passed through this area before. Maybe I should return to the checkpoint and see if someone will come."
He stopped for a moment and looked to the sides. He doesn't remember where he came from. Genius. Hethen looked up at the high building and a shiver travelled through his spine.
"That place… definitely not where I came from. My head hurts just by looking at it. I hate being psychic. Such negative energy… Energy?" He then closed his eyes and started to concentrate. He detected 4 beacons of energy. "One of them must be my checkpoint." He commented and fly towards the nearest beacon.
On his way towards the beacon, he did not pay attention to the bus that was about to run over his small body and barely managed to dodge to the left.
"That could have hit me!" The bunny thing said to himself. "Do those metallic beasts eat those children inside their bodies or are the main population of this world parasites to the metallic beasts? Well, I shouldn't involve myself on the-" He stopped talking as soon as he felt a feeling that the beckon he was heading to just spawned a living being full of negative energy. "Shadow Pokemon…"
"I know everyone here is likely extremely tired, but we are still going to have class today and I won't have my pay cut for not teaching. Now stay behaved, for I have not found my pills before coming to school." The homeroom teacher stated to the students.
"With a personality like that, I wonder how she has not been fired yet. Do you think like that too Miles(2)?" The girl who sits behind the black haired boy asked him.
"She is the professor who cares the least about the students, so it is very easy to just leave the class and do whatever you want. Of course no one here will ever report her." Miles told her before letting a yawn.
"Did you also no sleep at night?" The girl asked. "Seeing everyone dead tired proves me right about sleeping at afternoon and staying awake the entire night is how humans should schedule their lives."
"Lily(3)... right now is not the right time for you to talk about thi-"
"Let me help you a little bit." Lily said and reach out for a small thermal bottle that she had kept beneath her chair. She opened it and threw the cold water inside on Miles' face. "Feel more awake now?"
"... Yes." He said angry and definitely awake.
"Good. Now be thankful, because that was all cold water that I had. Now I will have to drink warm water like everyone else." Lily said and leave her chair.
She walked straight to the door and the teacher shouted. "WHERE DO YO- Who cares? But could you bring me some coffee from the Teacher's Lounge"
"Whatever, Ma'am." Lily said before leaving.
Miles let out a sigh after his friend left. He was a little angry, but at least now he doesn't feel like about to sleep in class. Not that the teacher would mind.
But there will be P.E later today, so the newfound energy will be very useful.
Meanwhile, at an abandoned building away from the school, the rabbit from before was fighting a wolf creature that had a black coat of long fur the around its spline and tail while the rest of its body is covered of short, gray fur(4). The rabbit kept his distance on the air while attacking the earthbound enemy.
Ashes surrounded the floor as the rabbit attacks with fireballs. Eventually, he manages to shot one directly on the face of the critter and make it fall unconscious. Were it a being from Earth, it would have fall much sooner, but this one came from a place were you must be at least ten times tougher to have a chance of surviving the predators.
"I'm sorry." The rabbit said, looking sad over the knocked opponent. "It was not your choice to be like this. Your heart, shut. Your soul, trapped. Your mind, blank… I cannot save you, but I can release you from the pain… I'm so sorry." He said rubbing his little hand over the fur of the wolf. There were so many burn marks around its body. "It must have hurt so much… I'm so sorry."
Flames started to surge from the body of the fallen wolf and they quickly covered it completely for few seconds before extinguishing, leaving only ashes behind.
The rabbit started to cry over the ashes. It was the first time he had done such thing. It is what the superiors of his world do to those like the wolf, but he always tried to avoid the "mercy". But he is alone now. If he is don't do this, who will? He is the superior now. He must do this.
After twenty minutes of crying and saying how sorry he was, the rabbit moved to the second floor, where the beacon was located.
After finding it, he used his psychic powers to close the beacon.
To close the one way portal to the world he is in now.
