  #

  (Downtown Reddsteyn; 10:53 am)

  Cloud’s walking along the crowd. Trying to find the familiar feeling he had earlier that morning. Oddly enough, not getting wet despite having no means of blocking the rain–Even more odd, he’s now wearing a bck turtleneck with loose, gray, knee-high shorts. Looking up at the sky as the rumbling clouds as the rain pours down violently. Having this sensation ever since the storm: A sense of empowerment inside of him–Staring at his hand, before brushing off this sensation.

  A burst of gunshots were heard and the crowd started panicking; Causing a stampede; His white hair getting a tiny bit gloomy. Cloud was surprised but tried controlling the crowd. Running opposite through the crowd to investigate (excusing himself each time he bumps into a civilian). He crossed the street and heard more shots fired just the other block; Taking a detour through an alleyway.

  He noticed however, two school girls getting apprehended against the wall. “Let us go, fuckface!”, “Shut up! Just do what they say!”. Cloud only took a gnce but noticed this wasn’t w enforcement, “They’re just wannabe-soldiers!”, and felt the need to intervene. “This isn’t good!”

  Cloud runs near to the wall to jump and commit a wall run. Before somersaulting and dropkicks on a soldier. The two girls were startled. Cloud neutralized the other soldier with a quick knuckle-sandwich. “Get out of here, quick!”, Cloud said pressingly.

  The two girls ran where Cloud came from. “Thank you, boss!”, one of the girls said, before getting shot! Her friend yelled in terror; Cloud was shocked, instinctively grabbing his sidearm and shooting the perpetrator. The shooter stumbled back. Cloud shoots again and he drops down to the floor, dead.

  Cloud went to the girl and inspected her wounds; Quite frustrated in himself as he wasn’t there in time to possibly heal her wounds instantly. Her friend, although horrified, was comforting her friend who was in pain. “You’re fine. There’s a subway near here, right?”, the other girl nodded, “I’ll help you carry her there.”, Cloud said to the girl; She was apprehensive, but she looks to her friend and nodded to each other

  (Downtown Reddsteyn Station: Entrance A; 10:57)

  They arrived at the station without any problems from the crowd or the soldiers.

  He was surprised that the crowded station was..organized. Two men in business suits offered to help the two girls down into the station and get aided. They accepted. The girls thanked Cloud as they walked down the stairs; Cloud wore a smile as his hair turned vibrant white.

  “Envy!”

  Cloud felt envious. He was startled, shocked, terrified, and envious. His hair instantly turned into fuzzy bck as his smile slowly faded into a frown, “This isn’t good!”, he thought. He scanned the crowd below and saw a man staring at him, comforting a high schooler, with a familiar uniform, “Kirlon...?”, that was what Cloud faintly saw through the thick, dark aura that was being emitted off the student.

  “Wrath!”

  Cloud felt another drastic sensation again! His teeth and fist clenching as lightning sparks gets emitted from his body; Trying to keep his composure. But the crowd however, was starting to delve into their emotions; Bming this, doubting that. Their morale is losing and their anger is rising. Cloud was too, delving into Frustration.

  Cloud wasn’t able to think, in fact he wasn’t thinking of anything. The dark aura from the student emitted from her with every step, and before taking the steps, they exploded and Ignited that dark energy at her feet–Leaving off a burst of fmes upon her heel and the feeling of fury–before lunging directly at Cloud at hypersonic speeds!

  (Downtown Reddsteyn Station: Entrance B; 11:07 am)

  Mon runs down below the flight of stairs and through the maze-like station to catch the train; Trying to get out away from the region. People were eyeing them–concerned as she sprinted while carrying a bloodied Lep. Oblivious to what’s happening above.

  Mon saw the ticket barrier, but didn’t care as she jumped over it; The clerk took notice and alerted the guards. Mon still ran however as she went down the stairs to one of the subway’s side-ptforms.

  “Shit!” Mon uttered as she saw the only train right now is on the other side. Mon thought about it but ultimately thought it was stupid, because she knows she’s not crazy enough to cross the rails to the center-ptform then to the other side. Until she did.

  Mon puts down Lep on the ground, before going down the ptform, carrying him then walking over to the other ptform to put him on top of before herself climbing up. She did that again, but the train’s entrance was on the other side, so kicks down the closed train doors and entered the train before it started to depart.

  (Middle cab of a Meat Steak Railroad train; 11:14 am)

  Mon sat Lep down on a seat before sitting herself; Panting rapidly. Shortly thereafter, experiencing excruciating pain as the adrenaline wore off: Temporarily rendering her deaf and blind– Also feeling weak due to the energy that was used to conjure her energy arm that dissipated after they went inside. The car they were in was surprisingly empty, and the only people in there seemed tired. Some resting, some preoccupied with their ptops, some listening to music, and some even praying.

  She suddenly felt someone being Envious towards her. Then eventually coming into thoughts of the times she was also envious of someone. But she brushed it off.

  “This wasn’t the morning I was expecting to live through today,” said by the weary Mon, “You know, this is like the kingdom situation in the past, except reversed, maybe, I don’t know, I can’t remember that well”. Mon checks Lep’s pulse on his neck…Then rustles his head.

  She suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front cars; Cautious, curious, and still fatigued, she stood to investigate. Step after step, her body was feeling like it was made out of paper. Mon stumbled but catched her fall by grabbing a pole; Panting while struggling to bance herself.

  Then suddenly felt a soft, tender hand gently touching her shoulder. Finding it familiar, she’s in complete ease. She turned her head around , hoping to be the person she’s thinking. But it was just a student from her school–One of the girls that Cloud helped earlier

  “I think you should sit down,” she said. Mon tried to put current commotion into concern.

  “Well you’re not fit to do so! As a senior, go watch your brother and my friend. I’ll investigate for you.”

  “You’re like, barely 3 years older than me,” or atleast, what Mon was going to say; Also realizing she’s a senior in her school. But she smiled and agreed. Then the young dy assisted Mon to sit beside her brother, before walking over through the gateway-door to the other cab.

  “Just stay here!” she said before going.

  #

  Mon sighs; Feeling this 30 minutes isn’t real, just waiting to wake up like this was just a dream. Remembering what the girl said, Mon looked around and saw the girl’s friend with a bandage on her shoulder. She waved at Mon and smiled gleefully,“Oh me? Don’t worry about ol’ Dingy over here. Go get some rest if you want, it's fine”

  Mon was envious and confused. “How can someone smile in this situation?”.

  Mon accepted the offer but can’t seem to sleep; Apprehensive about the other car besides them. She just feels a sense of Pride radiating from it, and herself.

  The sliding door between cars was suddenly smmed open, alerting everyone inside the car to the perpetrator as he uttered “Where is she!?”

  Mon found this strange, noticing he’s wearing a completely different uniform–From another city; “Where’s he from?? Mon thought–Him wearing a completely different uniform.

  “Anyone have seen a 17 year old female high schooler from Kirlon?! Long bck hair with front bangs?”

  But no one bothered to answer him.

  “Psst”, Dingy trying to get Mon’s attention, “Ignore him”. She nodded.

  The guy suddenly got in front of Mon’s face however; Getting startled and a bit uncomfortable. He analyzes her but notices something that links; His face going from pouty to serious and confused yet revetory. “You– Why do you– You have like– Are you reted to–” He said before getting dragged by security.

  The girl from earlier attended to Mon thereafter.

  “Turns out, he’s Diego, a senior student from a highschool in Kirlon if we are to believe those punks from our school. But he said to them that he’s not after them or whatever that means.”

  (11:23 am)

  The vibe was quiet and awaiting for the next station. But loud stumps of leather and metal banging each other were heard for the furthest point of the train coming closer to them. Mon turned to look and saw a man running towards the front of the train with a clear distress on his face; Also feeling a sense of dark aura emitting from him. Her eyes followed him as he ran by them. Dropping, oddly enough, a cartoon-bomb.

  She bent over to grab it, but she suddenly felt this sense of impending boom. The train shakes and suddenly her stomach feels light.

  “Dafuq?!”

  The train derailed on the sky bridge. While they’re still in mid-air, Mon hugs Lep and braces for impact. People inside were shocked and scared, feeling a sense of impending doom. Mon got a glimpse of Dingy; gesturing a pumped-up fist with a face that is hiding fear with a mask of pride.

  A loud crack or rumble of some sorts was heard and the train thereafter was cut in half! Everyone was in awe at this abnormal occurrence. Then appeared above them was a faint golden-figure with a katana emitting a dark purple aura, jumping inside and grabbing both Lep and Mon. She was confused, but nonetheless asked for Dingy and her friend as well, yet the figure ignored it completely.

  Greatly concerning the safety of them, she over exerted her body by manifesting her right arm once again but they were too far; Then she see a bigger arm made out, but faintly, with energy coming out from her right shoulder–One that is made out, or conjured by her spirit itself. She grabbed Dingy and her friend together with them as they nded down the destruction of the sky bridge.

  “My god are you two okay?! Are you two sick?! I had this feeling a few minutes ago that made ME sick!”, said the figure.

  Although Mon was panting and hyperventiting severely, she looked up to see it was Dian. “Yeah, I am fine..” She said before colpsing with Lep also; Dian catching and carrying both of them.

  Utterly confused, “What happened here?!” said Dian, distressed.

  “The train just derailed, Ma’am,” Dingy said.

  “Yeah I know that. But who did it?”

  “It was Cloud”, someone said from the rubble. They turned over to see that the man was running from earlier; Dian put the two behind her and confronted the man.

  “How do you- Who are you?!” Dian shouts. He introduces himself as “Korekuta, though that’s the only thing I know about myself”, Then bargains for Dian's sword. The area had this intense feeling in it as Korekuta and Dian had this off-putting poker-face as they gred at each other; Feeling like they’re reted to each other in some way or another.

  “WAR!”

  Korekuta and Dian suddenly felt this sudden premonition of sorts; They felt this a few seconds before the others felt it. Deciding to retreat, Dian hurried the two to follow her. With nowhere to go, Dingy and her friend went along; They entered Dian’s car and she floored it.

  On the other hand, Korekuta was surrounded by soldiers; Grabbing a handful of dust from his fanny pack before disappearing.

  #

  (11:43 am)

  On their way on the outskirts of the humongous city of Reddsteyn, they’ve encountered such things that aren’t much of a hassle; Going through a route that isn’t that known. Although no such threats are present, Dian is on high alert. Checking down at the riverbank, and the warehouses and factories above–The perimeter of the industrial district of Reddsteyn. Mon and Lep

  “So, who are you two?”, asked Dian.

  “I’m Sheyne, and my friend Dingy”, said Sheyne sitting in the passenger seat.

  “Well I hope you two are used to war.” Dian said nonchantly.

  “I beg your pardon?” Quick to question by the confused Dingy; Sheyne is just concerned.

  A humvee ambushed them from the alleyway and smmed against them! Dian told Sheyne and Dingy to stay calm as she gave them a few specialized handguns that can handle ammo that breaks through bullet proof gss, “You know what to do! But be careful!”, as three other humvees appeared; Sheyne hesitates whilst Dingy is being all excited.

  “No, I dont?” Said by Mon who just woke up and is mostly fine. Dian looks to Mon before grabbing the gun from Sheyne and giving it to Mon, “Oh, I know”. Sheyne and Mon swap seats; Dingy covering the left fnk and Mon covering the right.

  Gunshots and car crash; Adrenaline is pumping in their veins rapidly with their hands so numb, it feels nothing. Dingy is enjoying every single shot she fires as she ughs maniacally although missing a bunch. Sheyne tried to remain calm but almost got a heart attack when her side of the window got shot–It’s bulletproof. Mon is struggling to bance herself out the window. Dian just entirely focused on maneuvering the car as she doesn’t trust the both of them shooting the adversaries.

  Dian turned right, finally connected to a highway!

  Dian swerved to the right at one of the humvees; Giving Mon a clear shot at the driver. Mon aims directly at his head, but now with the free option to do so, she freezes at the thought of it. Dian notices the driver is pulling something from his belt, but is transfixed to either trust Mon to shoot and or do it herself. Thankfully, Dingy saw the opportunity and stole Mon’s kill, “HAHA! STOLE YOUR KILL!”; The car swerving and crashing at the rails.

  1 out of the 4 enemy vehicles has been neutralized.

  “MON!”, Dian shouted; Mon anxiously turned to look at Dian, expecting to get scolded. But when Dian saw her distressed, confused and innocent face, Dian felt her conscience was bugging out; “Just..give me the gun.”

  Mon was however reluctant to give it to her; Tightening her grip on it.

  “I actually protected her on that one”, Dingy quipped but was hushed quickly by Sheyne.

  Dingy told her to calm down with a gleeful demeanor. “How in hell are you getting joy from this?!”. But before Dingy was able to answer, she got shot in the head! Sheyne screeched from the emotional suffering she felt as she saw her best friend’s liveful face be turned into nothing in less than second–Probably more than what Dingy physically felt. But she joined Dingy shortly after, as she too got shot in the head from the same window.

  This demoralized Mon but Dian was indifferent; Although there’s two, possibly four dead bodies, she needs to focus on the problem at hand being: The conflict happening in the whole city and more currently the three vehicles chasing them.

  “Fuck it! Mon, take the wheel!” Dian grabbed the katana from the back’s floor carpet and climbed out the window to the roof, “Just floor it! Ignore the stick shift!”, Mon climbed to the driver’s seat and id the gun on the tool box, but she was a bit curious about what’s inside the glovebox. “Focus on the road!”, Dian shouts.

  She saw, a kilometer ahead, a heavy blockade forming. They saw a single civilian vehicle coming trying to exit the city, with a lunatic on top with a bde. Dian prepares a stance with her katana as they wait for confirmation. Dian unsheathes her bde and dashes before disappearing, as one the tanks got permission to fire.

  “Where did she go?” Said a young soldier on top of a highrise. He suddenly hears loud, crunching sounds–Like cracks forming or gss shattering–as the ground shakes; Stumbling back. HQ contacted him and asked why the south ptoon suddenly lost their signal. He looked back at the civilian car and saw the pursuing vehicles totally wrecked! He checked the blockade and it was heavily devastated, and standing alone amidst the fire and debris was Dian–Heavily tired and out of breath.

  #

  Mon was in extreme awe as to what she saw, enthusiastic to see what it could contribute to her theories, or the fact that Dian can move at superhuman speeds. Shivering from feeling an echo energy; Something is resonating inside the glovebox.

  She knows the current situation is somewhat dire, but her curiosity peaks at the moment. “I guess before she’s here..”

  With a clear want and with energy able to do so, It manifests and materializes as a translucent blue in the form of her arm. Opening the compartment reveals a photograph and a shard, aside from all the coupons.

  Although her curiosity initially goes for the picture, the reverberating energy coming from this thing piqued. She grabs and checks it, “A crystal? I didn’t know she had jewelry”.

  She feels it’s surging and calling upon her soul; Her energy arm becoming more refined by how close it is. Although amazed, Mon stopped to check the photo–Gently putting the crystal shard back in the glovebox–her energy arm back to what it initially was.

  Mon slid it towards her and checked the back first. “1985-‘Me and Dian Sagang!!’, old ass picture”.

  She flips the image showing a young Dian in what looks like a maid suit, “That’s her?! She’s oddly cute in this. She actually looks much nicer here: Neatly worn attire and tidy hair. But who’s the ‘me’?”

  Beside Dian was a girl that looked a few years younger than her. Her smile makes Mon at ease and wonders why. But after not focusing on the road and instead on the image, something clicked.

  “That smile I recognize! ‘Me’ is fucking mom!! Yes, I can remember her smile back then clearly now! Dian knows- was friends with my mom!! I knew she was hiding something! I gotta tell Lep-”

  She stops. Her “checkmate!” attitude wore off. She puts the picture back.

  #

  (12:12 pm; City outskirts; South highway: Reddsteyn)

  Mon rolled up to Dian after a few moments, but her expression secretes disdain and hatred towards Dian. But Dian simply said that they’ll put Sheyne and Dingy inside a body bag and give them a burial.

  “How about Lep?” Mon asked solemnly.

  “Being buried alive is traumatic, y’know.” said the corpse in the car.

  Mon was surprised, perplexed even, that Lep was alive and not well. She was confused but nonetheless wore an open smile and her eyes watering; Seeing his brother’s distraught face after waking up, sandwiched between two dead bodies made her giggle, before losing consciousness.

  Lep got out of the car to catch Mon; Extremely concerned and asked what’s happening.

  “This day was hard for all of us; Be easy on when she wakes up. And as for those two, we’ll bury them by dusk. Get a body bag.”
