PRELUDE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darcy smiled. "I promise, I'll stay in the car."

Her uncle hesitated a moment before responding, "Alright... I'll be right back."

And he climbed out, leaving Darcy alone with her thoughts. Her smile was replaced by a thoughtful frown, and behind her sunglasses her bright green eyes clouded over. Her uncle was a government agent. Maybe not as glamorous a job as the title implies, but it worked for him. 

Apparently, some guy named Onigumo had stolen some top-secret device... that was really as far as her knowledge went. Her uncle had only been sent because the guy supposedly didn't even know what the device was, nor how to use it. It was assumed that he would give easily. So, it was a small party out to get him, only five. 

Of course, she probably would've liked to get out of the car herself, but there was a price on her own head, and four government agents out there who would just love to see her captured.

Darcy sighed, resting her head on one of her hands. She quickly fell asleep, but then suddenly was jolted into awareness by a loud noise from behind the car. It sounded like... an explosion. Hands shaking, she quickly fumbled for the handle that would open the door, finding it out of pure instinct. She rushed out, the smell of heavy smoke overwhelming her senses. 

"Ebisu!" she called out, "Uncle, where are you?" Once again she found herself cursing her lack of vision, as she strained her ears for something, anything that would tell her where her uncle was. She picked up the noise of gunfire to her left, and turned in that direction, setting of at a hastened, but wary pace.

She tripped over something. 

"Damn't..." Darcy muttered, beginning to get up. She probably would have, too, had not the thing she had tripped over suddenly grabbed her ankle. A cry escaped her lips before a rough hand was clapped over her mouth. 

Darcy struggled vainly a moment, but whoever had her was much stronger, and her attempts at freeing herself were obviously not working. Feeling desperate, Darcy gave in to her instincts. Something inside was screaming that she was doing this, but desperate times call for desperate measures. 

A strange light grew in her sunglass-shielded eyes, and a tremendous heat suddenly hit her back. Thank god the guy had been so close, her aim was true, and a scream cut the air behind her as the man was thrown back. She shook at the sound. It was the blood-curling, desperate scream of a man who was about to die. Her own back was probably burned in the process, but it was worth it.

Climbing to her feet, Darcy took just a few hesitant steps back before tripping again. This time she fell backwards, and the strangest sensation fell over her, like a bucket of ice was poured into her veins. 

 With a cry, she flailed about a moment, finally grabbing hold on something. The flame-covered hand of a man. She felt the strange sensation of her entire body falling through something, and somewhere in her mind noted that the burning man was being pulled through with her. 

 She spent a few horrible moments floating in nothing, before becoming unconscious.
