Red was never my name

The Beginning

"It has been a year. Damn. I still can't believe it has been a year. I remember when it started. I was sitting in detention at River Side High just like always, but this time I  didn't even start it. It was this new kid. I can't remember his name to save my life. "He wanted to squash my bug," she laughs, "As if I would ever let that happen," she sighs and looks down the bridge to the other side. "Home sweet home or at least it was. I left after everything went down,  to cut a long story short. The world's leaders got the idea that they should destroy each other. No one really knows how, but in my opinion, it was that stupid mech company they probably had everything to do with it. I believe their name was Delta Engine. They made mechs to help us with our everyday lives which is useless. All it did was make us even more useless,  but something went wrong and the mechs turned on us... but hey that's just my opinion." She steps onto the bridge, "Hmm, I wonder if there are any mechs out there.  Let's hope so. I haven't gotten to break something in awhile," she laughs to herself.  She pulls a metal Dragon fly out of her bag and tosses it in the air. As the air hits the bottom of the Dragon fly, its wings pop open, and it steadies its self above her. "Do a quick check Flitter," the Dragonfly makes a robotic sound, and it starts to scan the ground. She sits on a rock nearby and takes a deep breath, "I just can't believe I am back in my hometown." She looks across the river at the broken city examining the ruins of the town she once called home. "Never thought I would look at this city this way." She takes out a bag of something that said multi mix fruit chips. She opens them and eats while she waits for the Dragonfly to scan the bridge. Still looking over at the city, she notices movement near an old auto repair place. "Hey, that looks like a person. Maybe someone I know survived." The thought of it being a person she might remember memories of her friends and family pop up in the back of her mind. A tiny bit of hope sparked in her mind that she might find someone she once loved.  She quickly  squinted her eyes and pulled out a weird looking slender metal stick, then pressed a button on the top and a holographic  screen opened, "Flitter buddy change of plans for a second go check over there a few clicks south." The dragonfly changed course and headed for the repair shop, scanning the area around the repair shop. She looks at the screen puzzled, "I could have swore I saw someone over there. Maybe  I am just seeing things. Thanks, Flitter please return to scanning the bridge," she says with a sigh. She looks at the screen a few minutes later. The dragonfly landed on her shoulder, "Hmm, it looks safe. The only problem I see is that slicer at the end." {Slicers mechs that are equipped with knife-like arms and chest plates there is a slight chance the blades can be kept as weapons if there not too damaged ~Fun fact Reds current blade was made from an aqua colored broken slicer arm and it was the first mech she ever took out} She sighs again and pulls out her  sword its a double edged blade with the paint still on most of it there are small carvings in the blade and down the handle "life would be so much easier without these guys always slicing and killing but at least they give me something to do" she starts to walk over the broken bridge jumping over gaps trying not to fall she stops for a second to catch her breath as she does so the ground below her breaks suddenly and she falls Flitter flys around the spot she fell  making frantic clicking sounds panicking then her hand slams on the top of the road she tossed the sword up on top of the bridge and grabs the hold with her other hand "well I did not see that coming" she laughs awkwardly as she pulls herself up she plops down with a sigh "Not to self don't stop on a broken bridge that is turning to rubble"  she stands up and looks at flitter who crawls back in her bag with a angry click "so I freaked you out that much huh I'm sorry I didn't know that was going to happen" she smiles and continues down the bridge  as she reaches the end she carefully steps into the mechs activation field the mech activates and starts scanning the area around it, she takes cover behind an old rusted car that was flipped over on its side as to get the upper hand. as she gets ready to destroy the slicer a beam of Blue light hits it dead center leaving a hole in its chest a few seconds later it explodes "what the huh??!?!" she looks around confused trying to see where it came from but nothing still confused she quickly gathers what she can salvage from the mech she then makes her way to the city staying hidden behind the cars "OK that was weird" she thinks to herself for a second " Oh man dude! what if they had been aiming at me....and it just so happens they hit the mech" she moves across the bridge trying to stay out of the view of anyone from the city paranoid the next shot that might come would be for her. finally, she reaches the other side and she looks up at broken buildings falling apart she sighs"so many memories......and yet nothing looks familiar to me everything is so different now" she continues walking a bit further examine and salvaging what she could in one building she spots something out of the corner of her eye as she picks it up she smiles "mhm a teddy....How can something so pure still survive in a world of destruction" lost in her thoughts a sound snaps her out of it she quickly drops the stuffed teddy bear and heads for cover not stopping  till she reaches an area she is oddly familiar with even though it is broken and worn down as she searches the rubble she finds a sigh on the ground that read "Riverside High School" she laughs to herself "welp this is it" she looks around dropping the sign "where I was when it first happened". She walks towards the building examining every little detail looking for something that shows there are people still in the area but nothing everything is covered in foliage and dust no one has been here in ages even still she continued to look searching every room still having hope that something might be there almost giving up hope she came to a room as she looked above the doorway and halfway on and halfway of was a sigh that read D hall she felt tears starting to form in her eyes as she remembers the day but she holds it back and shakes the thoughts from her head "wow it's still here I can't believe it  even for this broken world D Hall is still living" she laughs to herself and slides the door open its creaks echo through the empty school she looks around the room and stops at a desk with carvings all on its top she runs her hands along  the groves "I remember every single one still" something suddenly makes her looks to the back of the class as again the memory of that day enters her mind she heads to the back of the class (flashback) It was a warm sunny day only a few clouds and a slight breeze she had to stay late at school cause of some new kid that was turning into her bully she took her seat in the front next to the window like always and the new kid sat in the back the teacher was late and the kid started throwing paper balls at her she took it for a short while till he hit her bug of the desk on accident with anger in her eyes she stood up and yelled at him at that moment the teacher entered and yelled at her for not being seated and talking after everything settled she looked out the window "If only I could escape to a world of my own" (end) She stands next to the desk and looks at it very desk the kid was sitting at she ran her hands along it "Hmm I wonder if he survived" as she said that her fingers run along a grove and she froze.
