The sun rises on the future.

The slums

Chapter 1: the beginning of a journey

500 years ago, humanity faced the worst crisis recorded in history. Nearly four billion people had died within 5 months however this was not by chance nor was it due to some natural disaster no this was caused by humans themselves. You see 500 years ago the largest solar flare erupted from the sun the radiation changed humans allowing them to unlock power that they could only dream of. However, like most things' humans ruined this quickly people began to kill and rob with their new powers and yet after 5 months order would be reinstated as people who would cower in fear were now filled with hope. Five of the strongest powers in the world established a council they would rule the world with an iron fist, but the hope would quickly be loss as everything had returned to normal unless you were deemed a threat to the council. Almost as quickly as they had arrived they had changed society for ever. In present day there are five souls who would wish to change the five hundred years of oppression, and this is their story.

"Geez how are you ok with living like this fubuki" a bashful yet caring voice had spoke.

"Well, you see Lucy since we haven't tasted life in the suburbs we don't know any better" a somehow cheerful voice that had lost all hope spoke. Two young teens were on their way to get their share of rations for the week taking caution not to take a wrong turn into dangerous territory.

"What do we have here ay some punks on their way to horde more rations from the rest of us huh?"

"Of course, not we haven't gotten our share yet so we were hoping to get ours and go home" Fubuki spoke her voice shaking as the man began to move towards them as he came more into the sun more of his bloodied body was seen

"Oh really? Yet you look so full" the man said mocking fubuki

Lucy stepped forward surprising the man

"Back off you no good delinquent" Lucy ordered

As the man stopped moving, he grew a sinister twisted smile

"You know what my power is girl? it's called crush and i'm pretty sure you get the idea."

"So, what it's not like you could even touch me." Lucy said confidently as if knowing the outcome of what was about to ensue

"Fine then girly but don't say I didn't try to warn you"

With one swift action the man had gotten right in front of Lucy and grabbed her face and slowly began to crush her face.

"Geesh man you're not that shtrong"

Lucy said muffled by the mans hand. As she grabbed his hand he let go her grip being tight. As the man got free his struggle was obvious. Before Lucy could even make a witty comment the man had sprung off again but this time missed Lucy and grabbed fubuki's face crushing it in a matter of seconds her muffled screams only heard by the man and Lucy after a couple seconds she was silent the man dropping her lifeless body to ground.

"thought I lost my touch for a second well what ever go get your rations or what ever." Said the man triumphantly.

As he began to run Lucy held fubuki her face an unrecognisable pile of blood and bone her eyes filled with not only tears but fear as well. As Lucy sat there lost and confused she had but only one thought "this has to change."

This was the story of death how she came to hate the world she lived in and how she would begin her journey to a new world. After this life changing event Lucy received her rations and returned to her hut alone it was almost silent all that someone would hear would be the quiet sobbing of a lonely reaper. The next morning as Lucy awoke she had nothing to do except change the world she lived in. As Lucy began to move determined to leave the slums she could tell her life was about to change.
