A sky covered in black smoke, the smell of burning flesh and metal, gunshots and heart-rending screams everywhere, but he was staring at the sky, with a blank stare, looking like he was in shock or traumatized, because he couldn't react, he heard a terrible beep and barely felt his body.

Floating on his back in the sea, surrounded by the corpses of his enemies and companions, but something else has caught the guy's attention.

"W-who... a-are... You?" The man asks weakly, regaining his consciousness a little.

A human-looking, fair-skinned woman with long platinum hair and purple eyes, dressed in a white jacket, with a light black coat, with a skirt of the same color and gold lines and a sea captain's hat. She looked at the man serenely despite the situation they were in.

"This isn't over yet... It hasn't even begun" She says, as she gets a little closer to him, walking on the water.

" O-over... Begun...? ¿About what... Are you talking?" He asks, not knowing exactly what she means.

"It won't be anytime soon, but you'll find out when the war has started" She replies, as she kneels.

He tries to sit up, but his body doesn't respond, instead, he feels cramping all over his body.

"Y-you mean they... Don't they take us seriously?" He asks angrily, already recovering a little more.

There was only a momentary silence before she answered.

"You must wake up"

"¿Wake up, from what?" He asks, looking confused at the apparent young woman.

"Wake up"

"You haven't answered my main question yet"

"Wake up"

"Sign! Who are you?" He demands, almost to the point of screaming as he manages to sit up.

Without him noticing it at the time, an eagle passes between the two quickly, and the woman's appearance suddenly changes.

Now his skin is totally pale, his sclera is black and his pupils are yellow, his face was torn, he can see the inner flesh and the eye completely on the left side.

"Enterprise, wake up!" She yells, sounding as heart-wrenching as a banshee

.

He screams in terror, sitting up suddenly, panting and sweating profusely.

"Wow, wow calm down bro, it was just a dream!" Someone else comments, exalted.

He, better known as Enterprise, quickly turns to the source of that voice, seeing a boy no more than 6 years old, his skin is fair, his eyes are green and he has long blonde hair with ponytails on the sides, he wears a black boxer.

"H-hornet?" Asks Enterprise exalted. "W-what happened?"

Both are in a room with several pieces of furniture, two beds and a large open window, overlooking the outside and letting in the fresh air, Enterprise is also a child, and is only dressed in underpants.

"Apparently you had a nightmare again... Do you plan to tell big bro?" Hornet mentions

"... No, I don't remember... What did I dream about?" replies Enterprise worriedly, as he uses the sheets to wipe away the sweat.

"I see... Well, it's still night, it's like 3:20 in the morning, so nothing, let's keep sleeping" Hornet says while yawning and lying down, covering himself in the process.
