'Happy happy~...I'm so happy~...' A pair of steps slowly walked through the forest, humming a tune to themselves as they travelled, clearly a woman by voice.

It had been a little bit of time since she left the confines of the city, and now she was roaming around the forest in search of others to save. So many faces were terrified, so much so that it made her sad, almost depressed, but she wouldn't stop until she manages to save them all.

'So many people are fearing for their lives~, and once I get there, their spirits will rise~" In thought, she was humming and singing a song she thought up on the fly, at this point even skipping through the woods.

Her footsteps were surprisingly light despite her pace, her eyes scanning around to find if there were any emergency shelters around that could need assistance. Fear is only going to make everything worse, so they need her more than ever to save them from it.

A slight buzzing sound hit her ears, and she turned to look towards the source, a Radio signal somewhere deep in the forest. It was an SOS message...people were in danger!

"Don't worry! I'll be there soon to save you!" She took off in a sprint, easily clearing swaths of land and passing over both rocks and fallen trees with little issue.

Some animals were in her way along the path, including some like snakes that wanted a bite of her, but they couldn't hurt her on her path. She did her best to avoid stepping on them, the signal's source slowly appearing in the distance.

As she expected, it looked like a small emergency shelter, and there was a
radio tower on it to transmit the signal to others so they knew they were around and alive. There was no one responding in the area to their call by the looks of it, so she was more than happy to be the salvation they needed.

The building was up a large hill, but her shoes made clearing that easy work, digging into the terrain as easily as they would sand to keep her grip. The venture took only a few minutes, and once she got to the top, she saw the small building with a barbed fence surrounding it.

"Must be a military compound shelter...well, they have nothing to worry about now that I'm here!" She easily cleared the fence with a jump, and casually walked towards the clearly reinforced door, knocking a few times to get the attention of whoever was inside.

"H-Hello?"

"Hello! I heard your signal from my radio, I'm here to help you all if you need me!"

"You're here to help? Are...are you certain?"

"Yep! Absolutely!"

...

The door wasn't opening, which made her a little confused. "Uhm...aren't you going to open the door?"

"We want too, but the d—We won't let you in, monst—oor won't open. Is there anyway to open it from out there?"

She shook her head, getting a little headache for a moment before smiling again. "I can open this easily! Just stay back from the door, it could be dangerous to stray too close to it."

She backed away from the door for a little bit, waiting incase they were still getting back from the door. After waiting about a minute, she scrapped her foot across the ground and ran at the door, full rugby tackling it straight from the hinges and falling inside the room.

There were shouts of sudden fear at her way of entry, but she stood up and dusted herself off, smiling at all the scared people inside. "Door's open! Sadly, I'll have to fix that, so give me a moment incase more people need to come and find proper shelter."
