Ten Minutes until the monster awakens.:

"What do you think your doing Kazuma?" Asked Elijah who watched the scientist Hideki Kazuma preforming experiments with a human body, "It's none of your concern, Swordsman." he said casually.

Elijah knowing what he was doing said, "It's illegal to experiment on humans, regardless if they are dead."

Kazuma turned from the window and looked at Elijah, "In case you forgotten, I am in charge here, therefore i have full right to use a human for my experiments. This person is a criminal who has been given the death penalty, here, i'll show you, what the monster inside that cocoon is capable of."

he pushed a button that let the person down from the ceiling, in the small jungle area he looked around before coughing uncontrollably, he stepped on a small creature that Elijah hasn't been before. Seconds later a whole manner of creatures appeared from the small brush jumping at them man, though they couldnt hear it, it was apparent that the creatures were eating him alive,

Elijah readied his blade saying, "I never thought it would come to this...Hideki Kazuma, you are under arrest for the murder of human being, and for preforming Illegal Experimentation of Humans." he drew his sword as security came in weapons drawn, "You have the right to remain silent, you have a right to an attorney, if you cant get one one will be provided. Anything you can can and will be used against you in International court." He took a breath before saying, "Do you understand these rights?"

Hideki said, "Yes."

This is too easy...somethings wrong. thought Elijah.

One of the guards moved to apprehend Kazuma, only to be kicked in the face and disarmed, the others got ready to fire but Elijah said, "Hold Fire. Kazuma, dont make this harder."

Hideki laughed, "Your a fool." he pointed the gun at the small jungle, enraging the creatures before shooting the glass over looking the Cocoon. Elijah moved to grab him but was too late, Hideki Kazuma was already falling toward the cocoon, as soon as he hit it it seemed to open up swallowing him.

"Hideki!"

one of the monsters flew out the window, but Elijah was in the way as It took him with him. As he fell, Elijah saw a wire and grabbed onto it, he used his sword to slide down it to a separate level when a voice over the intercom came on "Warning, Unknown anomalies emerging from science bay, Security report to several other locations, Contain the unknown creatures." the earth started rumbling and Elijah looked at the cocoon which slowly started to crack, he thought he saw something come out of it, a panicky voice came on the intercom, "Colonel Hawkins, Dr. Kazuma, please come to the launch bay, You are to be Evacuated to Everest Base, this facility is deemed unsafe." Elijah got on a comm unitl saying

"All personell, This is Colonel Elijah Hawkins, You are all required to leave this place ASAP, Monsters have come from the Cocoon, to make the rest short: Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. Here." He could hear screams all over as something landed behind him, he looked behind and what he saw was shocking.

Launch Bay: 1:15 AM, Fifteen Minutes since outbreak:

Corporal Jack Jennings was standing guard near to entrance, besides the radio chatter, he felt the rumbling ten stories below him, whatever that thing they found was, it sure sounds pissed. People ran everywhere when his cell rang, Now of all times? "Hello? Jennings speaking."

"This is Hawkins, i have a favor to ask."

"Whats that sir?"

"Go tell my wife I'll see her very soon, i'm going to see to the cryo pods."

"But sir thats-"

"If those pods are destroyed, this place will go off like a nuclear bomb."

Not believing what he was hearing he asked, "What of Hideki?" they were close friends, but Jack knew Elijah long before he met Hideki.

"I really dont know, first he jumped into that cocoon, thats when all hell broke lose, then he came back deformed, i was forced to kill him."

Shock overcame him when Elijah revealed what he was doing. "So in the end he was deceiving us..the bastard..." he straightened up saying, "I will inform the President and the UN, come back alive you hear?"

"I've been through worse."

Elijah closed his cell phone and looked at what remained of Hideki, he was deformed beyond recognition, but he turned into a strange mush and he saw similar plants that were in his little jungle. Not wanting to know more Elijah bolted for the lift, which he told the small computer, "Take me to the Cryo Chamber.'

He entered the area and several people rushed around, getting all manner of stuff. Elijah asked one of them, "Is the ship ready?"

"Yes. Ready when you are." Elijah had already told them that Hideki was dead, so there was no reason to stay longer than necessary.

Elijah had asked them to take at least three Cryo Pods with them before leaving, sure enough they got them to the landing deck where their ticket out of here sat. There is something really wrong here.. he thought.

November 15: 2018 12:00 PM. Submarine USS Hawkins: en rout to LA

It wasnt long after the destruction of the base and Hideki's Death, but what they didnt know that it was just one of several thousand monsters that appeared two days after the base was destroyed, Elijah didnt have time to see his family before they were sent to the International Spaceport, he had asked Jack to go with them to watch over them, also to tell his wife that he was Sorry.

Sorry

The word echoed in his mind over and over again, the base he stayed at had no way to get into space station, the last transports left earth, leaving several hundred people to try salvaging what was left of earth, Five Billion lives destroyed, Five hundred million missing, and Fourty nine million eight thousand were on the space station.

Elijah used what resources he had to find the missing, which the station will send ship to retrieve them.

November 25 2018 3:00PM: Four days since the Seven days of Fire:

Elijah concluded that out of the five hundred million of the missing, they were only going to find less than three million, the surviving search force had two hudred or so people left out of the fifteen or so hundred they started with. The Monsters had all died out two days ago, as if they completed a mission, one of the missing, a young girl, lost her parents at the hotel she was found in yesterday, since then she had followed Elijah around since then, when the transport came, there was not enough room, The girl would have to be left behind, but Elijah opted to stay with the few who stayed behind, after a somewhat of an emotional goodbye the girl finally left and Elijah turned away, the name of the girl ran through his mind, Nausicca. "So Colonel, what next?" asked one of the soldiers.

"The space station has long since been filled, we are just going to wing it and do our best to survive."

"Arent they going to come back?"

"It doesnt look like it...we are on our own."

June 15 2019 1200 hours: Seven months since Seven days of fire

At least two thousand people returned to earth two months ago, they were forced to adapt, a 'Toxic Jungle' started to grow and encompass the earth, they were forced to wear gas masks so that they didnt breath the poison air of the jungle, ot was mostly in south America, covered Africa and most of Asia.

Elijah had told his friend Jack Jennings that he wasnt going to make it five months ago, a month ago, a letter was sent from his friend with a picture, Elijah didnt want to look at it, he knew what it was, and didnt respond like others did, in fact, he was happy for them, but Sarah, his now-ex-wife still loved him despite what was going on, Elijah had told Jack to watch over them, he knew that this was going it happen.

Elijah entered a room, the other two Cryo Pods were damaged and only one functioned, he had brought it to the beach ridden Sub USS Hawkins, it was blasted out of the water and landed on a beach outside a valley, he pushed several buttons and the pod opened. "You really are going to do this huh?" Elijah turned to the voice saying,

"It's for the better, this is set to wake me up in three years, i need sleep, to catch up on those sleepless days."

The man understood, "What about Nausicca, she looks up to you like a father." Elijah nodded, "Tell her i'm, going away for awhile, and that i'll be back." The man nodded,

"I might as well tell you, Elijah."

"Tell me what?"

"We are naming that valley over there."

"What are you calling it?"

"The Valley of the Wind."

Elijah thought for a moment, "Good name,take care of Nausicca."

"You have my word."

Elijah set the necessary time for awakening before he laid down in the pod, "See you in three years." He pod froze slowly as Elijah Hawkins fell asleep.

Soon after three others came in and the man walked to the pod saying, "What a fool.." he changed the setting from three years to One Thousand Years.

"Seal it up and let this place be restricted." they nodded and sealed up the small rood, the man took one last look inside before they sealed the room.

June 20 2019: Funeral: Five days since Elijah's 'Death'

The Ceremony was long over, a young girl stood above a grave saying, "Thank you for saving me." She left a small flower and the grave and walked away, the tombstone said:

Colonel Elijah Hawkins

June 26 1991-June 17 2019

The Man who sealed Elijah away and few others knew the truth, but his reason for doing that to Elijah was sick and immoral. "Nausucca, you are are mine now."

I Planned to put more detail into this chapter, but it would have been way to long(like it is now).

Anyway, here it is, the conclusion to this Prologue. the real fun starts soon(not too soon though)
