Hi everyone, sorry it took to long to do this, I had a lot of things to do. So anyway let's get this chapter started.

P.s. Please don't comment the names you see for next few characters, I had to improvise -_-

Ugh, it's so dark. Where am I?

Aqune opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by darkness.

Ugh, not this again, she thought to herself.

Only this time, it was different. When she walked forward, a white sphere appeared in front of her.

Hmm, this is new, she thought.

As she watched the orb, it came closer to her. It eventually flew to a point where it was about entered her body. She wanted to run away, but something told her not to. She was always told to stand her ground. The orb finally entered her body, and the light of it stopped shining. Then Aqune vision was slowly clouded by a bright white light. She was immediately scared by it.

"AAH!"

Aqune nearly jumped out of bed when she woke up. She looked around the room as she tried to recover from what has happened. She looked to her left and saw her closet and window. She remembered that she was home, she place that lived in for a long time. She got out of bed and walked to her dresser. She started by fixing her hair, pulling it back and combing it, saves for two bangs on the sides of her head. She then clipped a small accessory on each side of her head. She swished her hair around, remembering how sky blue it was. She didn't know hat there were different kinds of a single color before. She used to say it was just blue.

That was before, she thought to herself, before the wave blast.

"Aqune!" a voice called, "your going to be late!"

She looked up at the clock above her dresser to check the time.

"Oh shoot!" she yelled, "it's that time already?"

She hurried to her closet, and picked out of it a blue skirt and a white shirt. She got out of her pajamas and put on the clothes she picked out. She also got a pair of socks and ran downstairs to get her shoes.

"Hey! Hold it!" another voice yelled, "where do you think you're going without your bag."

Aqune stopped and looked back to see her father, with her bag in his hand. Her father name is Reluno Faner, and he was like any father to Aqune. He had yellow-white hair and bright yellow eyes. A 35 year old father, he is usually optimistic and has a light-hearted attitude. He does anything in his power to support his daughter in anyway, though this sometimes leads to trouble. Nevertheless, he is very protective of his daughter, and will do as much as he can to make sure she stays safe.

He walked up to her at placed her bag on Aqune's back.

"Thanks, dad," she said while putting on her shoes.

"See ya!" he called out as he watched Aqune run off to start her day.

"Hehe," he laughed to himself, "Even after 5 years, that girl has the same vigor as the little girl I knew before."

As Aqune ran along the path, she encountered another person walking along the road, wearing a blue cap backwards, a red shirt and blue baggy shorts.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, "hey there, Cecil."

He turned to see her and replied happily, "Hey, Aqune!"

Cecil Mizunami was one of Aqune's best friends. He was always seen with Aqune, hanging out her. He had black hair and dark blue eyes, qualities which made quickly a good person to be around. He was a nice person most of the time, but he had a large mischievous side that knew no bounds. He was also very reckless, often charging into situations without thinking. If there was some kind of trouble he caused, Aqune was bound to be around to be involved. He was about the same age as Aqune.

Aqune ran up to his side to greet her longtime friend.

"So, what have you been up to this morning," she asked her friend.

"Oh, nothing," he replied, grinning "not yet anyway."

"Is it because today Professor Elm is coming today," she asked her friend curiously.

They both looked at each other and grinned at the thought. Only yesterday it was announced by their teacher that they will receive a visit from Professor Elm.

"To bad Mrs. Casanova wasn't here to be able to meet him," Cecil quoted.

Aqune sighed nostalgically as the thought came to her. Their original teacher had gone away days after the incident involving the mass unconsciousness of many people. The primary cause of the fainting of many people was never found. Scientists decided to dub this incident as another mystery the world may never solve.

"Heh, after the Diffusion Aura Wave incident?" she added, "Cecil, you know that was only 5 years ago."

"Yeah, who would thought that we would meet each other in the hospital," he also said.

They stopped talking to remember the day they met and became friends, but that was quickly interrupted when they reached the school. Waiting for them there was a familiar figure, wearing a green vest and long black pants.

"Oh! Viktor, you got here early?" she greeted as she ran toward her friend.

Viktor Hinero was another friend of Aqune's who she bonded with. He had green eyes and dark green hair. He had a quiet and known for sometimes being antisocial. Nevertheless, he does find Aqune as a good friend, often she and Cecil are the only people he is willing to hang out with.

"Would you mind stopping before you say something clichéd," Viktor said as Aqune ran up to him.

"I see you're just as down as usual," Cecil remarked.

"What was that," Viktor said bitterly as he stared at his rival in the face, both at eye to eye.

"Hey, Aqune!" another voice yelled, "Are those two going at it again?"

Aqune turned around and smiled; as she caught sight of her other best friend, Yasuka Sumi. She was a kind and gentle person who seemed to make many people smile. She has blond hair and deep green eyes. Although it seems like her kindness can get in the way of things, she also shows a fierce determination when the time calls for it.

Aqune saw that she was wearing a green hair band, a white shirt, and a green shot pants.

"Hi, Yasuka!" she greeted, "As blond as ever, I see."

"Nice comment, but what's with your clothes," she asked, "I didn't know you were the kind to wear a skirt."

"Don't mention it," she asked, "I had to improvise. I was running late anyway."

"Anyway, we're here, and that's what counts right," Cecil said as he approached the pair.

"We best get inside if we don't want to be late," Viktor remarked, right before the bell rung, much to everyone's chagrin.

"Aww man," they all groaned.

A woman in a black overcoat stood on a cliff. She looked over the horizon as she sighed nostalgically.

5 years, she thought to herself, it has been 5 years since I've seen this forest.

Her thoughts were broken when she heard the foot steps of another person. She looked around to see a man wearing a brown jacket and pants.

"Hey Kama," he greeted, "we better get going."

"Ok Soren," she responded as she carried a large stick with large sickle shaped blade on the end.

Aqune, the time for you to wait is almost over, Kama thought as she held her left shoulder, which under the sleeve, was a 17-starred sign.

So what did you all think of the new chapter. Like I said, I had to improvise with the name of the characters. Please give me some feedback and subscribe.
