Chapter 1: BeginningsZero's P.o.V.
It was a sunny day here on Ceresia Island. My brother were enjoying the feel of warm sand on our backs as we relaxed at the beach. "You know what Hub?" I asked, opening my left eye to look at my younger brother. "What is it Zero-nii-san?" He always called me that. I am his older brother after all. "I'm just itching to spar right now. How does that sound to you?" He simply grinned and sat up before answering. "You got it Zero-nii-san! Our usual rules and bet?" Whenever we sparred, we'd always limit then number of hits we would take before one of us loses, this way neither of us gets hurt too badly. Also, we'd always make a bet that the loser would have to cook dinner. I'd usually win, but today I felt was going to be different. I stood up and pulled out my wooden katana, which is what I used each time. This was going to be fun!
Hub's P.o.V.
This was going to be a great match! I was feeling confident today as I pulled out my wooden broadsword, my favorite weapon. It was pretty big, so it was hard to control, but I was used to the weight so I'm able to wield it easily. "Bring it on Zero-nii-san! I'm not going to lose this time!" It's true, I always lost our spars, but I'm okay with it. I looked at my brother. He was standing tall at 5'7'' while I'm only three inches shorter than him. A warm breeze passed by, causing his spiky brown hair toflow through the wind. I caught a glimpse of green near the small beach hut where we'd camp out often and smiled softly. It was Amy, our best friend. She is a year younger than Zero at age 15, and a year older than me. She was pretty good at hiding, though whenever a wind blew by, her long green hair would flow through the wind and give away her location. I decided to give her a real match to watch. I had a crush on her, even though I know her heart is set on Zero. "Here I com Zero-nii-san!" I swung my broadsword at him and the spar began…
Zero's P.o.V.
I rolled to the side to dodge Hub's powerful swing and charged at him, I slashed at him vertically only for it to be blocked quickly. "I'll never get used to how you can wield that thing so easily, Hub." He grinned before shoving me back and slashing at me horizontally. I simply jumped up and landed on the blade of his sword and ran at him. This was his one weakness. Whenever he swung at me horizontally, I'd be able to land on his blade and have a clear path to strike him. "Too slow Hub!" I slashed at him once more, this time it striking his head. I jumped off before he could flip his sword and make me lose my balance. I rolled on landing to dodge another swipe from his large wooden broadsword. I turned and dashed at him again and slashed horizontally this time. He performed a vertical slash only to have our blades lock in a stalemate. "You're getting better, but you're not quite good enough yet!" I sidestepped, pulling my blade from the stalemate. Hub wasn't expecting this and lost his balance from the built up force of his swing. I then began to slash at him rapidly, each attack hitting without a problem. "Teriaah!" I called out as I delivered the finishing blow. The spar was over. I won.
Hub's P.o.V.
"Darn…. It…" I said as I fell Backwards. I had lost again. My brother is just too good! Looks like I'd be cooking dinner tonight. He walked up to me and held out his hand to me. I smiled and took his hand as he pulled me up. "Thanks Zero-nii-san." He just grinned and put his hands behind his head. "No problem bro!" We both turned to hear a clapping from near the hut. Amy had stepped out of hiding and was walking over to us. She didn't use a sword, instead she'd use a kendama to fight. "Great job guys! That was one of the best spars yet!" She said in her cheerful voice. Zero grinned and I just blushed and looked away nervously. "That's another win for Zero!" She said glomping my brother again. I laughed as he landed on his butt, I may be jealous, but it was pretty funny to see my brother be taken down by a single glomp.
Zero's P.o.V.
"GAH!" I yelled as I fell backwards from the glomp. Amy was always this affectionate. "It's amazing. I can't take you down with my broadsword, but a single glomp can!" Hub laughed as he said this. It was pretty funny. Amy was just getting off of me when I noticed the sky was turning dark. "Huh? Is it night time already?" Amy and Hub looked up also. "No. It's only 12:51 PM! And I don't remember seeing anything about a storm in the weather forecast." Amy looked frightened and clinged to me. That's when I saw it. A giant hole had opened up in the sky! The winds began to kick up and reached a deadly speed. We were sent air-borne by the wind and went flying towards the hole. "EVERYONE! HOLD HANDS! DON'T LET GO NO MATTER WHAT!" I yelled over the winds as we were sucked into the hole. We tried to stay together, but we were torn apart by the winds. "HUB! AMY!" I yelled out as they were sucked in two different directions. I was enveloped by darkness as I was sent further into the hole. I couldn't breathe. My vision went blurry before everything blacked out. I had lost consciousness…
