The Year 2017; 10 yrs before the attacks.
The Mariana Trench; the deepest point of the world's entire oceans, located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean. Multiple sea creatures claimed that part of the ocean their home; Flatfishes, Benthocodons, Anglerfishes, lots of deep sea fishes practically. But there is also something else that lives in the dark space:
The Abyssals
The Marianas was also the home of the one's the brought Humanity to its knees, living in massive buildings constructed out of reefs, corals, and rocks. It was like a living civilization down there, where the word above never bothered them, and the abyssals never bothered them. At that time, the abyssals felt like they were imprisoned in their own home, unable to head up to the surface and feel the warmth of the sun. As each days passed, their curiosity of the human world grew stronger, and so they headed up to the surface, where the peaceful, and calm human world that they knew, was nothing but a lie. The kind and docile humans they once thought, were nothing but merciless and brutal. They started killing the abyssals, thinking they were there to wreck havoc, but what they didn't know that their actions ushered forth the age of war.
"They never meant to hurt anyone!"
"But the humans attacked first!"
"No, this was all wrong!"
"You keep on saying that, but you know that it was their fault!"
Soon after, war broke out within the abyssal ranks, and they were soon divided in half; some believed that they could live peacefully with the humans, whilst some opposed to the idea. And so, the one's who wanted to coexist with the humans, hid from the other abyssals, to cease the fighting and bloodshed of their own people; but before they did, their leader, an abyssal by the name of Adelina, told one of the humans, a girl with long blue hair, brown eyes- an admiral who was one of the ones in charge of the Fleet Girls Project; that one day, when hope seem to be lost, and the world has been plunged into complete darkness, the great dragon will come save them.
We now live in a darkened and divided world, where danger lurks every corner. In this time, it is easy to give up to hopelessness- but what we need is not what you think; something that takes away our lives, a springtime of new faith- the flames of the dragon. Though, it may not be the savior we want-
It may be the savior we NEED...
[The Flames Will Be Our Savior]- Chapter 2:We Meet Again.
Across the gray turned ocean; emerging from the silver lining, was the sun; it's brilliant, amber-glow gracing the darkened sky with numerous colors. A light shade of pink tinted the smothered clouds, and a darker shade of pink dominating the horizon. The black space of the night was slowly shifting into the vast, light blue that belonged to the day. It was the start of a new day, another day to find the rest of the Akumas; 10 individuals that contain a portion of Zeref's powers, as now commonly as 'The Akumas', officially dubbed by Zeref.
Natsu exited his make-shift tent- quickly built, and made out of large, rotting branches, with a worn-out cover draping over the top and acts as the roof. Sitting near the fire pit; that Natsu had erected from the millions of stone that made up the shore of Pleasure Bay Beach, was the abyssal- or now called, Chinatsu. She was the first of the Akumas that Natsu had found; an escaped experiment that was known to the 'white coats' or scientists, as 'Humanity's Retribution', as she was able to use Zeref's power of instantly killing all that he desired. A day earlier, Chinatsu had tried to kill Natsu, but Zeref was able to shield Natsu from the wave of miasma and cancel out the attack. Now, the young-figured abyssal; after learning of Natsu's mission and intentions, she decided to aid him, in hopes of finding her abyssal family.
Chinatsu was staring at her hands intently, and Natsu noticed why. A tiny, flickering flame danced on top of her palms, swaying gently side-to-side. Chinatsu was concentrating on trying to make the flame grow bigger that, she didn't notice Natsu towering over, watching her like a crow as she muttered several phrases like 'C'mon' or 'you can do it'. Eventually, the fire grew to the size of a coke bottle, illuminating the shadowed features of Chinatsu's face. Chinatsu stared at the flame, a wave of accomplishment and pride surged through her. So distraught at her achievement, the latter did not even notice Natsu tapping her shoulder. The dragon slayer sighed; a mischievous thought came to his mind. Flames engulfed his entire right hand, and we a smirk, he placed his hand on top of Chinatsu's shoulder.
The abyssal barely noticed what Natsu had done, but the only thing she noticed was the familiar scent of smoke infiltrating her nose, and actual smoke coming from her shoulder. She turned her head and almost panicked as she caught sight of her burning clothes- and probably her skin too. "S-Shit!" Chinatsu cursed, swatting her shoulder in an attempt to put out the tiny fire. That's when she saw Natsu, standing there, hands on hips, a smirk planted on his face; he looked proud for whatever he had done. She quickly realized it was Natsu who had set her clothes on fire. Chinatsu flew into a fit of rage.
"Woah, woah calm down," Natsu said, motioning his hands in a downward fashion, as Chinatsu began to aim her triple gun mounts at the latter's head. "It's just clothes, we can go find you a new hoodie". Chinatsu paused, knowing that the boy's statements were true. Why go angry for a piece of clothing that could just be easily be replaced by another? Taking, deep breaths, she pushed out the anger and let peace come into her mind. "Maybe you're hungry, there's some Snickers bar in the tent, you're not you when you're hungry" At this point, Natsu looked at the author and gave the weird 16-yr old highschooler a wink.
"Who were youwinkingto?" Chinatsu asked, looking visibly confused.
"No one you needed to know" Natsu responded. Chinatsu shook her head, already trying to forget the strange ordeal. She unsteadily got to her feet and set her course to the tent, where there should be food awaiting her.
Natsu watched, as the abyssal entered the tent. He drew in a quick breath, turning towards the ugly scenery of Boston's apocalyptic nature. Suddenly, Shadow burst from the over-grown shrubbery, landing near the fire pit. A dead rabbit- or what appeared to be a rabbit as it had been mauled so much that you can't even tell that it's a rabbit. Shadow dropped the rabbit in front of Natsu, and gingerly patted it, as if she was motioning Natsu to eat it. Natsu chuckled, bending down to Shadow's height and patting her head.
"Ah, it looks like you're doing fine" A voice made itself heard. He looked up, and radiant, yellow light overwhelmed his vision. After a while, it disappeared, and Natsu found himself staring eye-to-eye with a girl that looked exactly like Chinatsu; except this girl had longer hair and was more voluptuous than the abyssal. Instead of one single tail, swishing behind the girl were two, massive tails, each with heads attached to the ends. To his horror, he realized it was an abyssal, one that may not be as docile or calm as Chinatsu right now. "Nice to see you again, Natsu". Natsu could feel that time had stopped around them. He looked up, and he saw the birds the flew overhead completely still, with their wings still outstretched. There was no noise - it was if only silence existed.
"Who are you, and how did you know my name?" Natsu demanded, preparing his magic as he forgot his weapons back in the tent. The abyssal merely giggled in reply, expecting Natsu to already know the answer. "No seriously, I don't know who the fuck you are and how the fuck do you know my name".
The girl turned crestfallen. "Aw man, you don't remember me?" Natsu narrowed his eyes. Upon closer inspection, the abyssal did look familiar. He continued to examine the abyssal, trying to join the pieces all together. Suddenly, a memory from 3 years ago, when he first came to the post-apocalyptic world, triggered in his mind.
/
3 years ago...
The freezing waters of the Pacific Ocean splashed against the body of Natsu Dragneel. Floating in the middle of nowhere, with no one around, and with only the clouds to keep him company. Yeah, things were off to a great start.Ugh, why did they teleported me in the middle of the FUCKING OCEANNatsupondered.He heard the noise of the water splashing- no that was an understatement, it sounded more like a boat sailing; with the exception of the engine noises, mixed with what sounded like if you skated across the water. Thinking it was just a bunch of fishermen, he ignored it. The noises became louder and closer, to the point that Natsu decided to check what the hell it was. As he opened his eyes, the familiar sound of the roaring engines of aircraft filled the twilight sky, followed by the sound of explosions and guns firing.Great, he thought he ended up in a tranquil ocean, but in truth, he actually spawned in the middle of a battlefield.
A dozen of aircraft jet across the sky, in attempts to hold back one another. The blasts of some of the aircraft exploding illuminated the dark space above. Natsu saw that some of the planes looked strange; they looked like white spheres with huge mouths- and on the top and bottom of the mouths were jagged teeth, two horns protruded from the top of its head, and there two holes in the side of it- the reminiscence of eyes, emitting a strange red glow. Not only that some of the planes were weird, but all, even the normal-looking ones, looked minuscule compared to an actual real aircraft.
Wanting to see more of the action, Natsu lifted his head ever so slightly, and he saw the unbelievable, maybe. There was a girl with ghostly pale skin, long black hair reaching down to her knees, and two humungous tails, twice as big as her, swaying behind her in a slow motion. In each tail, there was an eyeless head joined to the end. One of the tail's head opened its mouth and a squadron of the strange aircraft was released from it.
"Damnit, thekanmususare here, and what's worst, there's a fuckin' kid here in the middle of nowhere" Natsu heard the girl cursed. Hearing her calling him a kid angered him.
"Hey, who the hell are you calling a kid?" Natsu demanded. "From what I can see, you're the one who looks like a kid!" The girl jumped slightly; hearing the tone of Natsu's voice surprised her a little bit. She was shocked to see that the seemingly-unconscious boy was actually awake, and heard every word she spoke. Slowly, the girl turned to look at Natsu, and she found him standing on the water'surface with a stoic expression on his face.
"So...you were awake..." The girl chuckled sheepishly. "Well, shit"
A moment later, something struck her, causing a huge, brightly lit explosion that could have been seen for miles, and blinding anyone who looked at it. The force of the impact sent massive waves straight towards Natsu, sending him falling back towards the water. The waves swallowed himup,and plunged himtothe world below. He struggled to swim up to surface, flailing his arms around in attempts to get back up. He was getting more tired, and every move was more futile. His lungs screamed for air, as his visions started to darkened. Natsu was sure he was going to die, and he just arrived in the world, and the only thing he saw was war.
You will not die, not right now anywaysA voice whispered in his ears. Suddenly, he felt someone or something grabbing onto his shirt and pulling him up. He coughed out water, with a bit of blood mixed in it, and opened his eyes. He was greeted with the smiling face of the girl...and the annoying light of the goddamn sun.
Natsu felt kinda relieved that the girl had survived the blast and was there to rescue him. The girl had used one of her tails to pull him up to the surface. "Looks like you were in big trouble" The girl joked. The girl released Natsu from the tail's mouth, and he landed on the water bottoms first. "Sorry' bout that 'splosion, but...right now, we should 'scape" The girl informed him. The girl turned her back towardsNatsu,and looked towards the horizon. "There will be more comin', and if ya' don't wanna die, I suggest you should come with me"
"Yeah, but who are you anyways?" Natsu asked as he stood up. The girl grinned, extending out her hand for a handshake.
"Name's Alpha, nice to meet ya'...um...".
Natsu reached out for the girl's hand and shook it. "Natsu, Natsu Dragneel"
/
"Alpha...you're alive?" Natsu gasped, unable to hide the happiness of seeing his friend once again. Alpha- one of the few abyssals that believed that the war between them and humanity was pointless. "h-how..?"
"Welcome to ethereal plane, bud- well that was what Zeref had said" Alpha muttered the last part.
"What do you mean 'ethereal' plane, and how did you come back to life?" Natsu asked, getting irritated more by every minute.
Alpha chuckled. "I've been brought back to life by Zeref to aid you in your quest" She explained. "And it seems like you've found my sister"
"Wait..Chinatsu's your sister?" Natsu said in disbelief.
Alpha nodded. "Though I don't know why you're calling her Chinatsu, its suppose to be Beta..." She muttered. "Well anyways, I am here to warn you that, the second one has arrived, but she won't be as easy as Chinatsu or Beta, as it will be hard to earn her and allies'' trust" Natsu had finally begun to notice that Alpha was fading away, and everything was slowly starting to move again. "Hmm..looks like my time is up, I will see you around Natsu" She turned her back and before she could take a step, Natsu managed to yell out,
"Wait! Alpha!"
"Hmm?" Alpha looked back at Natsu. "Yes, what is it?"
"Sorry for getting you killed, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be dead in the first place" Natsu apologized, remembering the abyssal's bitter fate from 2 years ago; struck down by her own kind, leaving Natsu to carry her death in his conscience. Alpha smiled and Natsu could see one single tear escaping from her eye and rolling off her cheek. (A/N:Wellthat was quick)
"So you still feel guilty about that time, huh?" Natsu nodded, feeling his eyes getting stung by the tears that started to fill it. "Eh, don't worry bout' it, it wasn't your fault, it was that stupid, heretic whore" Alpha reminded him, before completely fading away. Time had started moving again, the birds above him flew down to the city, and the waves splashed onto the shore in a strong force. The clouds overhead started to move, and Natsu could hear Shadow's barks.
Chinatsu exited the tent holding a bag of Cheetos. "Hey, uh there wasn't ant snickers in the tent, so I decided to eat this, is that ok?" She threw a couple of the spicy cheese puffs into her mouth and munched on them. "Damn these are-" She froze, noticing the tiny droplets of tears emptying from his eyes. "Yo dude...you alright?" Natsu managed a nod before wiping the tears with his sleeves.
"Yeah I'm alright, it's nothing" Natsu reassured her. "Now, should we start packing up and go to that lab you mentioned" The response the latter got was a simple nod. Chinatsu went back inside the tent to fetch their things with Shadow. Natsu extinguished the fire pit before destroying since it wouldn't be needed anymore.
Then suddenly, the noise of something heavy collapsing nearby caught his attention. Thinking it was nothing, he goes back demolishing the fire pit. Whatever that was, it wasn't left ignored for long as Shadow immediately dashed towards the direction it came from.
"Shadow!" Natsu yelled. He had forgotten about what he was supposed to be doing and ran after the black wolf. A moment later, he arrived at a parking lot clear of any debris of cars, which was surprising for him, as it looked perfectly clean with no cracks of dried blood on it at all. Then he spotted the large black plane parked in the middle. The landing ramp started to open, revealing the passengers inside. One of them stood up- the leader, Natsu guessed, as it looked like to him that controlled authority, seeing that he wore an outfit fit for a leader, and bore a proud and confident expression. The man looked back at the passengers and gave a curt nod to a group of soldiers armed with multiple guns sitting close to each other. One of them nodded; a man with dirty blonde, shaggy hair and green eyes, and exited the plane- the others followed suit.
Before they could spot him, Natsu quickly hid behind a concrete pillar. He took a little peek, and saw more people leaving the plane. Some of the ones that were exiting the plane were girls wearing weird, and exotic clothing, with guns extending from a metal backpack-like contraption that was strapped to their backs- some carried hand-held cannons/guns.
One of the girls that the metal contraption- one with long, ivory hair and wearing a revised miko uniform, seemed to know that Natsu was there, as she was glaring at the concrete pillar. Natsu sunk back to his hiding spot, and prayed that the silver headed girl didn't notice him.
"One of the Akumas is with them" Zeref's voice rang in Natsu's thoughts.
"Wait...seriously?" Natsu whispered back. The silver-headed girl started to move, following the others towards...the beach. "Shit! I've got to stop them before they spot Chinatsu!" As the group disappeared into the city and from Natsu's sight, the latter exited from his hiding spot, and headed down the road the group entered.
"Don't hurt them" Zeref stated. "Or you might kill the Akuma"
"Then what am I supposed to do!?" Natsu retorted, running past series of small buildings.
"Scare them, perhaps?" Natsu stopped as he thought that Zeref's idea may be a good one.
"Hmm...sounds interesting, what's the plan then?" Natsu asked.
"Ok...the plan is..."
Burry and the kanmusus had managed to safely arrive at Boston, and now they were heading down towards the last known location of Experiment HOPE. It was a hassle indeed, as there will be a lot of obstacles in the way, the first being not be spooked by every slight creaks and whistles of the decaying buildings and the wind blowing. Burry sighs, and pulled out a black pipe with his name engraved in it from his pocket and lighting it. He takes a big drag, before blowing tiny rings of smoke into the air.
"Man, this place is so depressing" Missouri muttered, trying to get rid of a black gooey substance from the bottom of her footwear. "And it stinks"
The fog that filled the streets of Boston began to grow thicker, and before they know it, they couldn't see anything, even each other, as the fog had blocked all their visions. Then there came a wolf's howl, coming from somewhere nearby. Mysterious whispers saying brief sentences could be heard, adding to their fears even more.
"Hey! What the hell is going on!?" One of the soldiers demanded taking out a Glock 17MB and pointed it at a direction. Then, he felt a rush of wind, and he found himself staring at the sky, and feeling the cold, hard ground against his back.
"Will-!" The soldier that cried was down on the ground. One by one, the soldiers were being knocked out, whilst the kanmusus were left unarmed. The fog started to part, and the kanmusus found themselves in a slightly barren, wide-open space, free of hindrances and blockages- it would have been fit for an arena of some sort. The fog surrounded them like a wall, and as they tried touching it, it felt solid. All the men, excluding Burry were either knocked out cold, or disappeared.
"Ok, can someone please tell me what's going on?" Lexington demanded.
"What do you want?" Came a voice . A silhouette of a man appeared in the fog.
Burry stepped forward "Who are you?!" He demanded. The figure started to walk towards them, and as he did, the kanmusus backed away, whilst Burry stood in his ground. The figure emerged from the fog, along with a black wolf, baring its dagger-like teeth.
His entire clothes were black; perceptible and faded in color, the only colours being the white mask that hid his face, and the white scale-patterned scarf that almost reached down his knees. The man just stood there, staring at them intently, giving of a sense of discomfort, while the wolf stalked nearer towards them.
"Ok that's it!" Missouri yelled, steeping up in front of the group and aimed her guns towards the man. She fired a salvo towards the man; the shells whistled through the air like insects and landed a hit on the man. A huge explosion of red, orange and yellow was seen upon impact, and the man was then consumed by the flames, the shells caused. Missouri smiled to herself, thinking that she got rid of the man, noticing that the fog was dispersing- but as always, she was wrong.
The man simply walked out of the inferno, the only thing being damaged was his clothes. The flames started to circle around him like a tornado, and entered his mouth. Burry and the kanmusus watched in shock and awe as the fire was quickly sucked into the man's guts. The man swallowed the last of the flames, before wiping his mouth with his sleeve. A feral smile had spread onto the man's face beneath the mask.
"Woah, woah, woah...did he just freakin' EAT it!?" Missouri exclaimed as she pointed towards the man.
"Girls, give everything you've got to that man, and while he's distracted, we run" Burry instructed them. They all nodded, save for Haruna. She didn't know why or how, but she felt a weird sensation of dread that sent quivers down her spine.
"No, we can't escape from him" Haruna muttered. Burry looked at Haruna and confusion. "What do you- wait, one of them is right behind him!"
Natsu grimaced as he saw some of the girls slightly panicking, after eating those flames that one of them had brought to him, they became like that. 'Ok use one of your slayer magic now' Zeref ordered him. This final move of Natsu might be able to scare them off, for now. He took a deep breath, his cheeks and stomach bulging, as fire gathered into his lungs. "Fire Dragon's...ROAR!" He released a beam of orange flames from his mouth above his targets, narrowly missing them. The flames smashed into one of the intact buildings, which most likely destroyed it now. Natsu noticed that the group showed no sign of distress or panic, even though they just did earlier, but they were smiling- the happy expressions of the group fueled an emotion that Natsu was oh so familiar with. Anger.
"What are you all fucking smiling about?!" Natsu demanded in a loud, booming voice. Zeref had led him to a location where Natsu had found a device that allowed him to change his voice, which was pretty convenient to say the lease. It had sat there for years, in an Apple store, undamaged by the war and was still in mint condition.
The only man that was left behind started to laugh. "Look behind you, fool" Natsu heard the click of a gun's hammer being pulled back and then being released. Natsu cursed and turned around to see that one of the soldiers he had dragged away from the group's vision was holding a Glock 31 towards his head, a smile settling onto the soldier's face. "Hold your hands where I can see them!" The soldier ordered, drawing the gun closer towards Natsu head. But Natsu did not budge, agitating the soldier even more.
"I said put your hand where I can see them!" Natsu sighed, putting his hands into the air. "Then take off your mask!" The mage scoffed, ripping the white mask that he had kept since he arrived there off, revealing his dirtied face.
"Now tell me, are you an associate of an abyssal by the name of Experiment HOPE!?" With the soldier's words, a picture of Chinatsu entered his mind. 'They're after her as well...' Zeref said.
"So, you know her then?" Natsu asked. The young soldier nodded. "Well, I'm sorry, can't tell you where she is, I'm a loyal friend of hers" Natsu pulled off a cocky grin. "Well then, this is goodbye for you" Natsu rushed in front of the soldier. The mage was so quick, that the soldier couldn't see him run towards him- it was like he teleported. Flames engulfed Natsu's fists- "FIRE DRAGON"S IRON FIST!" Natsu landed a punch on the soldier's stomach, knocking the soldier back.
"You-!" The soldier fired a .357 SIG towards Natsu, to which he easily dodged. "What the!" The soldier kept on shooting, and Natsu kept on dodging. "Just die already!"
Fire ignited Natsu's entire body. 'Natsu, don't!' .
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Natsu propelled himself against the soldier with a mighty headbutt, launching both of them towards the quietened group. They crashed into a brick wall, making it crumble into tiny pieces, and creating dust particles that immediately filled the air. A large crater was formed, right in the spot where Natsu and the soldier once stood. The two struck a large, towering boulder, that ceased Natsu's movement. The soldier started coughing out blood, muttering something under his breath. "Hmm? what did you say?"
"Damn you're good, and those fire powers...awesome" The soldier spoke louder and clearly.
"Well thanks, I guess," Natsu said. "What's your name, kid?"
"I'm...Bourne, Jayden Bourne" The soldier; now simply called Jayden, replied. He fell to his knees, as more blood dribbled down his cheek. "And you?"
"For surviving this long, I can tell you my name, it's-" Before Natsu could finish his sentence, he felt a wave of pain struck his head. He staggered back, clutching his head as the pain grew more intense. He collapsed, and banged his head on a sharp rock. A large cut appeared on his forehead; blood started gushing out like a waterfall. His vision wavered as it started to darkened. Muffled voices belonging to the soldier and the group infiltrated his ears, and it sounded like they were panicking. Natsu chuckled to himself- surely he would be brought to some scientists; along with Chinatsu, to be experimented on? For now, the future will decide.
Location: Kure Naval District
The woman sighed in content and slouched in her office chair, knowing that today's daily quota was finished- though it may be too early to celebrate. Large stacks of books and papers preoccupied her metal desk, filling about 70% of it. She spun around to look out her large window, and saw the fleet of kanmusus that had sortieted earlier, coming back. All of them were damaged, though it wasn't surprising for the woman-
To keep things short, they were losing.
But there was still a bit of hope; the woman reminded himself, remembering the words of the docile abyssal that visited her in the dead of night a year ago- that a dragon would come save them all. It may had been refered metaphorically, but the woman didn't care; a savior was what they needed, even if they were a harbringer of doom or anything weird. Her collossal doors suddenly opened, making the woman jump. Standing in the doorway was another woman, with long, flowing black hair and crimson eyes. She carried with her a single piece of paper. "Here's the report for the sortie"
"Another loss, Nagato-San?" The woman asked.
"Seems like it" Nagato replied, nor a hint of shock or surprise appearing on her battle-worn face. "But they found something that may interest you,"
The woman perked up, turning her head slightly towards Nagato. "Is that so, what is it?" SHe asked. Nagato took out a worn-out pink ribbon from out of no where, and placed it on the woman's desk. The woman turned around fully and peered down at the ribbon. "Carla's ribbon..." She mumbled.
"Not only that, they also found the girl you were looking for, white hair, brown eyes with cats ears on top of her head with the abyssals" Nagato informed her. "That is all have to report, nothing more" Nagato turned around and headed towards the door. She exited the office, and closed the door softly. The woman stayed in her place, still staring at the ribbon, sadness and happiness both overwhelmed her.
SHe shook her head and divered her attention towards the paper Nagato had placed on her desk. She snatched it, and began reading the report.

The woman crumbled the paper up and threw it into a nearby bin. She growled slightly, and banged her fists on the desk, creating loud noise that may have rang out throughout the naval base and heard by the inhabiting kanmusus. The woman was furious, several lives (Or even more), were lost that day, innocent lives. The woman took a deep breath, composing herself. She decided to take a walk to calm herself down. She stood up, and grabbed her cap; which was placed on top of a book, and put it on her head. Before she headed out, she took one last look at a picture that sat on her desk, consisting of five smiling figures with two winged cats flying happily above them.
A girl with shoulder-length blonde hair tied by a blue ribbon and brown eyes. A white, blue-tipped, collared sleeveless shirt. A brown leather belt around a blue skirt, carrying keys and a whip with a heart-shaped end. Black, leather high-heeled boots were the girl's chosen footwear.
A voluptuous woman with scarlet hair and brown eyes. Armor covered her upper body, with a black skirt and a pair of black boots for her lower body. The woman carried a sword, placed securely in a sheath that was held by a brown leather belt that was around the woman's hips.
A young man with a toned and muscular figure, black hair and dark-blue eyes. He had a white coat on, and black pants.
Beside the young man, was another man; with spiky, salmon hair and black eyes. He had a lean and muscular figure, with slightly tanned skin. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless, gold trimmed waistcoat, which was left opened revealing his chest. There is a black cloth that reaches down to his knees, held by a golden-buckled leather belt. He has white, knee-length baggy pants and black, open-toed sandals for the lower half. The most peculiar thing about the man was a scale-patterned scarf that was wrapped around his neck twice.
The last figure was a young girl, who was actually the woman in her younger year. Blue hair tied into twin ponytails and brown eyes, a smile appearing on the girl's face.
The woman's eyes were soon filled with tears. "I wish you guys were still alive..." A single tear slowly rolled off her cheek and dripped down to the floor; it soon evaporated. The woman wiped the tears away with her sleeve, as she heard multiple footsteps coming her way.
"Admiral Marvell!" The woman heard a voice calling out to her from outside. The woman walked over to her door and opened it. Standing opposite to her was a little boy with light blue hair with obsidian eyes, carrying a stack of paper. "Ah! Admiral!"
"Happy, drop the 'Admiral' thing, it feels weird when someone calls me admiral" The woman said. "Just call me Wendy, like you used to"
"Kay, Wendy~" Happy giggled, handing the papers to Wendy before running off. "Oh! and the americans are coming later with more kanmusus!" Happy informed her, before disappearing down the hall. Wendy blinked twice, before sighing; more work it seemed like it. She headed back to her desk and plopped the papers in front of her seat. She sat back down, and began signing the paperwork.
Unbeknownst to her, a tiny, black, hawk-like creature with one single eye like a cyclops, was watching her through the window. It sat on a branch, connected to a tree planted in front of Wendy's office. It was a spy, but for who? The abyssals? or for someone who wanted both the abyssals and humans to be erased from existence? or is it just a mutated creature minding its own business?
(A/N): SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I was trying to figure out what to write next, and it took so long! There is a lot of grammar mistakes in this, and things that don't make sense, but it's better than nothing at least. Soooo, I decided one of my OCs are appearing in this, and she might be evilidk. Stay tuned for Chapter 3, and don't forget to leave constructive reviews and honest review.
Bai bai!
