Prologue

Blood rained down from the sky in subtle commemoration of the soldiers who had given up their lives in battle. The ground was still moist with the sweat and tears of those still living, those still dying, the corpses still bleeding. All throughout the town, bodies lay scattered haphazardly as they began to decompose. The smell of death was far more than prevalent, spinning up as whirlwinds into the mournful skies above. Elderly couples clung to eachother in the dark hours, as the younger couples hid tight in eachother's arms for safety.
But in truth, nothing was safe. The tanks of enemy soldiers never ceased their treacherous rampage of the town. All day, every day, tanks, and cars, and horses, and even motorcycles stationed with soldiers drove down the streets. Each time the enemy forces did their rounds, ten more people were taken from their homes and loved ones. Just the day before, two boys, one aged sixteen and the other aged eleven, were taken from one of the wealthier orphanages. Before that, another two people, a brother and sister, went missing from the poorer area of town. No one was safe from the harsh reality of war.
The people captured would have been better off dead, as they rode in a large iron car with no windows and their hands shackled together. The air was tight, making it hard for the calm people to breathe and even harder for the more nervous passengers. Most of the people taken were to be killed, but a select few, perhaps around ten people, were shipped off to a refinery to become part of a madman's dream come true. ¹
The man's name was Pegasus J. Crawford, a big name in the gaming industry and an even bigger name among scientists. Upon graduation from a prestigious university in the Americas, however, he began to wonder what would happen if someone tried to create a new being- something he liked to call an Animan, or animal-human. Pegasus J. Crawford spent the next ten years experimenting different ways to fuse the two species together. One night, just after the New Year's of his eleventh year in research, he made a breakthrough in Animan research. He discovered that if he were to use the correct amount of metal and wiring in his creations, the chance of survival among his experiments would jump from 2% to 20%, results that made him determined to test out his theories on people world wide.
And that's what lead Pegasus J. Crawford to the small town of Chiisai, Japan.² He figured that if he were to keep the people quiet in a region of the world that no one really knew about, then no one with any form of political influence or power could stop him from carrying out his dream of playing God.
So, for the past month and a half, the people of Chiisai were plagued with fear and worry that they would be next; horror and disgust at what was happening to their fellow townspeople, and what might soon be happening to them.

1 - I don't like Pegasus.
2 - Chiisai is Japanese for small. I know it's not a real city, but this fanfiction is a mild AU, so please bear with me.
