A changed world

Chapter 8

Tokyo, Japan

Inside Yuuki's boat

11:08 AM

Justin's POV

"Yuuki? Can you tell me what's going on?!" I exclaimed, waving my arms.

"Relax. I'll explain." She said, assuringly. "This group formed about three years ago. There was only me and my older brother, Shinji. We would travel to other parts of Tokyo, and rebel against the use of nuclear energy." She paused, as her face changed to one of seriousness, to one of sadness. "My brother and I...."

She paused, and cleared her throat. I could see her eyes tear up.

"We went to the Nuclear Power Plant to protest, and.... he was shot on sight." She looked the other way, as a few tears escaped her eyes. She then ran upstairs, sobbing.

"Don't ya worry, kid. She'll be back in a few moments." A large man said, patting my back. I looked at him, and examined him. He has red spiky hair, a chiseled chin, a fuzzy beard, brown eyes, and the kindest smile you'd ever see.

"Nice to meetcha, kid. The name's Don. Short for Donald." He said, gruffly.

"Nice to meet you." I said, sweatdropping. 'How is this guy so huge???' I thought, looking at his stature. His arm was as big as my torso!! That's a lot of muscle!!!!

"Your name?" He asked.

"Oh, uhhmm. Right." I scratched my head, nervously. "The name's Justin Willians." I shook his hand.

"So what's your power?" He asked.

"Umm, this." I squeezed my right hand, as my skin changed to steel. 

"What about you?" I asked Don, curiously.

"My power is Earth-Bending." A rock appeared, and began floating.

"Whoa." I said, impressed.

"One of those monsters attacked you as well, huh?" I asked.

"Yeah." A flash of it appeared in my head. I was brought back to reality when a blonde-headed girl clapped a few quickly. She squealed too.

"Ooh, someone's going to be really happy." Blondie said.

"What do you nean?" I asked, a little afraid.

"Well, one of our friends has that power, too. And she told me that she wouldn't go out with anybody with a different power. Yun! Come here!" She ran off, calling for.... Brigette, or something.

"Just to let you know, Yun is, well..." Don said, nervously.

"What?" I asked, when out of nowhere, a girl jumped on me, and began squeezing me!!

"Oh, I'm happy I found someone like me!!!" She squealed, happily.

"You're.... Choking....*gasp*..... Me!!" I choked.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" She apologized, and let go of me. I took a HUGE breath of air, and coughed a few times.

I looked up, and blinked a few times. Don pulled me up, and said "Up ya go!" I dusted myself off, and said "Thanks." I looked forward, and saw the girl who hugged/attacked me.

She had her black hair (which had blue streaks) in a long braid that reached her back. She had tanned skin, brown lips, and green eyes. She was smiling at me.

"My name is Yun Hakashi! Nice to meet you!" She shook my hands rapidly, making me shake as well.

"N-nice t-to m-m-meet y-you." I said, shakily. (Literally!)

After she stopped shaking my hand, she blushed, while twisting a strand of her hair. "I'm just a little nervous to meet someone like me. Heh heh." She then turned around, and shouted "I'll see you later!!" And she ran off.

"She's like that around new people." A hooded guy said, appearing beside me.

I only saw that he has red eyes beneath that hood. His hoodie was dark grey and his jeans were navy. He also wore a pair of work boots, and carried a pair of nunchucks.

"I'm Justin. What's your name?" I said, and shook his hand.

"I'm Yun's older brother, Jin Hakashi." He shook my hand.

"What's your power?" I asked, a little curious.

"This." And a bunch of tentacles came out of his back. A few of the girls yelped. Jin blushed, and said "They call me the Tentacle Monster." He walked off, feeling embarrassed.

I thought to myself 'Why do they call him the Tentacle Monster? Oh!! That's why....eww.' I blushed.

"You understand, don't ya?" Don asked.

"Um, yeah. Let's change the subject." I said, feeling a bit more embarrassed.

"Okay. What do you want to talk about?" He asked, and sat down on a nearby chair. I sat down, and asked

"When are we going to Austrailia?"
