Eric shouldn't have gone to work today.
Bones broken, teeth shattered, the teenager struggled to even hold a coherent thought together as He tried to hold on to his life.
Then just like catching a ball in the air, He gathered the memory of what happened that morning, when He saw the guts of a cat outside of his own apartment consequent on the road.
He remembered waking up late and having to rush himself outside after spending the last two days off of work and doing well nothing at his house, He laughed to himself which came to the surrounding world as a faint nothing.
It was a completely nice day out no rain infact no rain for days and He had just died.
He smiled as He hated his life, a common thing among suckers.
Meanwhile in a galaxy far far away.
"Where am I?"
The world was strangely made up of pixels and completely 2D making a jarring effect for his eyes that strangley didn't take much time for him to get used to, like He had been here for a long time.
Eric looked at his Boo!- No her hands and being well versed in bullshit of this nature being a shut in neet, He only smiled as she looked at her blue gloves, she was a entirely different person, she was in an entirely different world.
Unchained from anything else that came before.
The city towered over the world around it, seeming to be everywhere and all encompassing, neon lights that would look really pretty when night came dotted the land and the face of some small midget panda popped up more times then ads on YouTube.
Sure, the building were slightly different and some being Asian in design to an extent, the design philosophy seemed to even carry over into the cars but it was still a city, a modern city.
This world seemed to be technically advanced and the reason why and especially why everyone even Eric seemed to be furries did not concern her, walking down the streets, she found and stood in front of a mirror to see herself.
She was sometype of Dragon, alarm bells immediately triggered in her head, no one else on the streets was a dragon would she be hunted down and killed for being 'special' or was she to be studied by this worlds inhabitants?
She was a violet dragon with purple hair and weird earbuds, taking them off she quickly learned that they allowed her to hear and put them back on immediately.
A chill went down her spine as she grasped the idea of losing one of her senses so easily.
To get her mind off of it, she looked at her outfit, she blushed it was some sort of body suit that it was blue and sleeveless and showed off a bit of her chest with a white shirt underneath that along with two long ribbions that formed into a flower knot.
Goodness from a far, she probably looked like a girly girl which she reminded herself was for the better as it seems that her 'special' status didn't warrant any attention from anyone around her.
"Nice, now I can plan my next moves" She thought with a smile, she was free, free from any responsibility or anything of that sort, to do whatever she wanted in this fantasy world after all it was made for her.
She looked to the long and maze like streets of the city and stretched unlike that of Sonic the hedgehog then not wasting a second, She flew down the street, she didn't expect to be going so fast, she just thought running would be a good display of her new freedom and yet she was, sure it wasn't break the sound barrier speeds but it was still a lot.
She found the challenge of running around people hard and from the wall of people in front of her impossible, lunging to the side, she landed on the side of a car and traveled up it going right past the wall.
As the teenager ran, Eric laughed to herself before thinking, she should get a better name something that made sense but that was something for later, she mirthed looking at the statue in front of her, it was of that 'Mayor Zao' Eric for whatever reason already hated him.
Taking a hand forward, she begin to climb the statue something that she had never done before and the thing was as big as two stories so she could possibly die but she continued.
With a few slight missteps, she reached the top, Zaos statue was in the middle of the city in a park on a roundabout that was a casual occurrence to the civilians of this land.
"Stop right there, your under arrest!"
The dragon sighed, She had always hated police and following rules any rules, she hated hiding her true self from others, she had always thought she was mentally ill and that's why everyone could do this type of stuff, Automatically.
While trying to get off of the statue, the blue outfitted reptile fell off hitting the ground with no pain to speak of.
She walked up to the police officer that for whatever reason was wearing riot gear and samari like armor along with his partner who did the same and held her hands out to be arrested as the cuffs slapped on she said.
"So your into BDSM?"
And before the two could do anything, she grabbed one of their batons and whacked the first in the head "Hey!" The second caught Eric's baton with his shield and pushed her into the statue.
'Shit!' She thought to herself.
As she held the baton closely in her hands, she formed in her mind the perfect counter attack as the policeman slowly walked towards her.
"Look, I don't want any trouble"
"Sad"
Running around the cop at the speed that spectrum wished it could provide, the purple haired crook slammed her baton into the coppers head.
"Wow, I just beat up a cop" She said in amazement.
Before laughing as GTA had taught her, they always had a gun if this wasn't a third world country like England where they use the swords of medieval knights and the weapons they stole from their colonies to enforce the law.
Picking it up, she marveled at the futuristic revolver in front of her but not wanting to get caught the dragon looked around, she found about twelve police behind her, making a note to check her hearing aids, she decided to escape the police before they swarmed her.
Taking a dynamic pose, she put her elbow forward like a knife and her legs rocketed to the back of her frame before making contact with the ground, jumping over a mailbox in front of her in the distance, she saw a line of tall towers some under construction.
That's it that's where she was going.
Picking up speed, She saw someone about to get on a motorcycle and threw up her foot in a slashing motion.
*Whack!*
Hitting that person in the face and into a nice comfortable wall taking the keys mid air, she reframed from saying any cocky line as she put the keys in the ignition and lit up the green bike.
Speeding down the highway at the fastest of internet speeds and dodging a ducking through traffic.
The Girl smiled like a psychopath as the drain turned around an intersection so quickly that she almost touched the ground.
Behind her, she heard the sounds of about five or so cars running into each other, the sounds of police cars gaining on her become second heard to her engine.
She traveled to the side of the police car and pulled out her gun.
'I'm not going to jail even if I have to put you two down to do it" She thought to herself, with a bang that almost blew her eardrums out and startled her luckly not enough to lose control of the car.
The Criminal pulled herself back to the cop car to try again finding that she had actually pierced the glass and that the driver of the car had been knocked out from her shot.
Disconnecting from the car, she once again found her attention focused on flying down the highway.
Just as she turned her head, she flew literally as she fell of her bike by the Effect of a police blockade.
Cause, falling and hitting the ground, experiencing the pain one would expect of doing so.
"Finally this nightmare is over you manic" Declared an older cop, the man's eyes become apparent through his hair as He caught wind of the crooks apperance, He sighed "I was one of the few who actually believed"
In what? Asked Eric to herself.
"Take her away fellas"
No! Screamed Eric, She was not going to go to jail infact she was going to become a legend at whatever she wanted to do after this, she simply had no time to waste away in a cell.
She laid there on the ground and just as an officer walked up to her with his comrades, kicking him in the balls and taking out the baton and pushing herself across the concrete, buying herself a little more time to get up before shooting into the air.
Coming down with destructive force on the police officers, who blocked her with their shields forming a Roman like formation.
"Do not use lethal force!" Declared the older officer who moved in front of his men.
"Stop now and we will lighten your sentence" He said diplomatically, the purple haired crooks ears caught that string of sentences and acted accordingly "No!" She said in a deliberately child like voice before once again running past the police and pointing her gun at them before firing off several shots hitting the ground, she found she managed to hit none of them.
She only smiled.
Pulling out another gun, she had stolen off of the cop from earlier, she fired knocking out just one and wounding eight in several unseen ways either then they looked like they were about to pass out.
As the magazine emptied well she could still knock them out blunt force trama always works, she need to ask something.
The police as chaotic as a Tv with no signal, tried to turn around and defend themselves from the on coming shots that had failed to occur for the last minute.
Eric ran towards them with her baton and knock them all out in one or two solid hits leaving the older one.
The one that knew about her past if she had one in this world.
Pointing her baton at him "You speak, who am I?" She asked, the officer didn't move before speaking "Lilac, the hero of Avalice, the one that defeated the aliens along with her friends"
Hero.
Eric had always wanted to be a hero, it was something that she remembered intimately daydreaming about when she was a kid, though she never really interacted with anyone seeing them as in the way of whatever she wanted to do at the time.
She was nice to them if they did talk to her but she could shake that everyone hated her, her parents hated her and that everyone was lying to her but she had gotten older and finally realizes the main issue was herself and that she really wasn't morally righteous or anything close to heroic as she thought she was and even if her 'past self' was able to pull it off.
How could she? And her with friends?
Even more insane.
She couldn't, she would just mess everything up and her previous life was terrible but this event, this situation didn't that make her special, she was the only dragon in the world, a former human someone that somehow got misplace in the great cosmos to this world.
And in this one, she wasn't going to sit around doing nothing important, she was going to be remembered to be recognized and the past did not matter.
She was no hero, she did what she wanted to do and lived by her own rules outside of any system.
Returning to the present, she knocked the officer out and ran with her new skill for creating chaos, she was able to get away.
Sitting on top of a building, she held herself in a fedal position, it was cold well that was her fault, she could of stolen a blanket or something of that nature or not picked to lay on top of a building alas she was alone to fend for herself and she would in her own way.
The light of the billboard in front of her gave off little warmth as she decided that it was time to get herself, a new name as this low stress environment would be suiting for it.
"Eric" She laughed as she fiddled with her hair, she wanted to change it not that she was a hair stylist but to differentiate herself from this 'Lilac', Tomorrow she would steal some clothes to do more of the above, she could not call herself that as it would attract to much attention, just as she started thinking the build board changed.
"Siopao"
