I am soon glad I found out what a blanket disclaimer was. It's REALLY annoying to write those things. Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't upload last Tuesday. But I figured, 'ohh, i'll just upload on Saturday or Sunday!' I'd completely forgotten that I had a karate tournament to go to. THUS! I have decided to upload Tuesday of every 2nd week. And if I forget, Don't be afraid to angrily (or anything else) PM me about it. Having niji yell at me won't work. She already yells at me too much.

Review response time!

Naillil: Thank you so much! I'm going to build the plot a LOT more in this chappie, truss me (sorry about that, inside joke with niji)!

Fire: I HAVE BEEN CALLING YOU IRL! and yeah, sorry for not updating, feel free to yell at me xD

Raven's POV:

The meal was delicious! It was the first time I'd eaten out since I started collage! The three of us, yes, the THREE of us, loaded into the car. I, sadly, sat in the back seat considering the two other girls were actually collage aged.

Now that I think about it, I could legally get a job. I am, after all, fourteen.

"Hey," I started. The girl in the passenger's seat looked back at me, "What's it like to work at a Chinese restaurant?"

"It's okay, I guess," she responded quietly. "The smell is taunting."

"What's your name, anyway?" I asked her.

"Te-" She started. She was cut off by a scream. A scream, coming from the driver's seat. A scream coming from Candy's suddenly horrified face.

A large cement truck was coming straight at us at about 75 mph. The driver of it had lost control. I looked at it, not processing my thoughts properly. My panicked thoughts registered that the truck had one of those banners, 'OVERSIZED LOAD'.

The other girl started screaming with Candy. I sat there in shock, my face stone cold and my eyes wide.

We made an impact.

The car toppled over.

There was a loud noise.

Then there were sirens.

And then a massive amount of light.

One.
Two.
Three.

Then darkness.

Candy's POV:

I spoke to the girl a few more times. She was the close lipped type.

We ordered our food: sweet and sour chicken, broccoli, lo mein, rice, and a few dumplings. It was good beyond good. It was AMAZING! Crazy yummy! Fabulous!

I paid, since I was treating Raven. Then the girl, Raven, and I all got into my car. Well, now it's mine. It's my mom's old 2003 Honda civic. Real junker with about a thousand miles on it. It was all banged up and stuff.

We all piled in the car and buckled up.

"You walked here?" I asked the girl. She nodded. Woah, I thought, she gets her exercise. Honestly though, it's 3 miles.

"What classes do you take?" I asked her.

"The basics," she responded.

Man, she was the closed lipped type. "I mean, what do you want to major in?"

"Biology."

"Marine biology...? What kind?" I asked. This girl did NOT like to talk.

"Marine biology."

"Awesome! I want an art major. Raven here is getting a nanotechnology engineering major. I think..."

The Raven started interrogating the girl. Classic fourteen year old. Eh, how I miss the days (lol not really).

Raven started another sentence as I scanned my surroundings. Just then I heard a loud, ongoing beep from the car coming in our direction. I scanned the vehicle from the bottom up. A yellow banner was draped across the bottom, reading oversized load. Other than that, it was just a normal truck.

I stopped when I saw the driver's face. His chin looked as though it could touch the floor and his eyes wide. He was ferociously tugging at the steering wheel, before he made a motion at me. I looked, seeing that his truck was taking up both lanes. The driver was clearly stomping his foot, most likely on the break pedal. It took me a second to take this all in. I stared, hearing the loud noise. It was my own screaming. I was... screaming? Was I going to die? Probably. Were Raven and the other girl going to die? Most likely. The screaming amplified, as I then realized that the other girl had started the same. Should I have eaten that Chinese food? No. Now my stomach felt as if it would implode. Bye vital organs!

The engine of the truck screeched. The driver had given up all hope and was protecting his face. But what about us?

There was a flash of light, clearly fire. Then that annoying noise stopped. Oh yeah, that was the other girl and I screaming. Was she dead? Was I? Everything went black.

Unknown's POV:

The girls had their meal, and they ordered a LOT. Let me tell you, I've never seen anyone eat that much. That little girl? She fit at least 20 pieces of sweet and sour chicken into her mouth at once. And the older one? Let's just say that she had four orders of dumplings by herself. While they were waiting for their food, they started talking to me.

The older one's name is Candy and the younger one is Raven. Apparently they are NOT sisters. I mean, I don't really understand why they were here together then, maybe close friends with an age difference. Eh, who cares.

After they were done eating, I presented them with a bill that made their eyes pop out of their heads. "I'm sorry, but you ordered a l-" they cut me off.

"THIS IS SO CHEAP! THANK YOU!" ok then...

We loaded into the older girl's car. Then, the interrogation started again.

So, apparently the younger girl got an early admission. She's majoring in nanotechnology. The older girl, who Raven called Candy, was getting an art major. They practically had to force information out of me. I don't know why, I just find it really hard to talk to people I don't really know. Like, even if you just have to say one sentence to them, I can only say a word. It's weird.

"What's your name, anyway?" the younger girl, Raven, asked.

"Te-" I began to respond when the girl next to be, Candy, began to scream. I followed her trail of sight to a massive truck, taking up both lanes. Then I found the noise doubled. Oh, was I screaming? Was it Raven? I couldn't move. It was me. And here was this oversize load truck pummeling at us. I didn't think it. I guess nobody plans for it, but I was going to die today.

Raven's POV (again):

Was I dead? I'm surrounded in white. Everything's bright. I can't be dead though, I was squinting to see. Or maybe that's just how it was. But if I am dead, I'm not going to be able to stick it. It felt... heavy. Like the fate of the world was on my shoulders.

"Hello Raven Kage," a voice said. It sounded airy. I looked around, seeing that I had a physical form. I can't be dead. I just simply can't.

"Who's there?" I asked, looking to see where the voice was coming from.

"You have a very important mission," It said, ignoring my confusion. The voice was coming from... all directions? What? "I am simply your transport," the voice continued. "I am the void." I gasped, but no air came in. No sound. No anything. What is this?

"Right now," the void explained, "I have split myself into three pieces. There are two more people here with you." Two more people? Who? Could it be... Candy? And the other girl? No, this is simply all a dream. Snap out of it Raven. SNAP OUT OF IT! I would have slapped myself, if I could move anything besides my head. I still felt heavy, but I was floating. It felt like flying with weights attached to your feet, but not using any effort to stay up and staying up anyway. Does that make sense?

"Your job," the void said carefully, "is to stop evolution." WHAT? Stop evolution! That's beyond crazy! How are we going to prevent it? And besides, it takes a long, long time! I'm not gonna live for 1000 years!

"The fastest evolution in history is not recorded. People think we evolved from apes. However, that did not happen. There were humans like us, only more powerful. All of their records were destroyed by humans being ignorant. People thought all people should be normal, but killed themselves off in the process. They destroyed their own records in the process, like I said. The world used to be amazing. Then the fastest evolution occurred. Only 1000 people survived when the world went ablaze. Everything was set fire to, by a person, being controlled by the normal people. The people had stopped living in harmony.

"All of the surviving humans lost their memory, as part of the fire. Everything had been destroyed. And let me tell you, civilization did not learn again quickly. They started as land survivors. It eventually progressed into what you humans call ancient. After a few more thousand years, you guys came.

"And you guys are perfect. That's why I chose you. The world has devolved. I want you to stop this," the void finally finished. But, WHAT? Stop devolution? This thing had nowhere near explained enough!

"You seem to have processed what I have given you. It will make sense when I give you the rest of the story.

"There were once powerful humans, at the same stage in technology as you today. However there were also normal people. After about 1 - 2 thousand years, the normal humans became fed up with the powerful ones. Then they took one of the powerful humans and controlled him. He ended up setting fire to the world, literally. These humans may have been even more advanced than us. They were wizards."

WIZARDS? IS THIS SOME CRUEL PRANK? AM I DREAMING? WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING?

"Now," the void continued, "you would say 'Earthland' instead."

A/N:

Soooo sorry I took so long to write this. I honestly planned to write sooner. But I was focusing on paper fanfictions, and also getting really dizzy. If any of you watch Death Note, today a... Pediatric Cardiologist (?) accidentally explained why L sits like he does, or rather did (single tear). Anyway! I've also been busy dreaming up Attack on Titan fanfics and Death Note fanfics.

Enough of my excuses. How'd you guys like this chappie? If you read my stories before, you know that I am the queen of cliffies, and can't really help it either...

MAN, do I ramble! Please r&r, its appreciated!
