"I know. It's hard to leave the people you l-"
"No. You really don't. Those boys were the only family I had. I grew up an orphan with no parents. Only a big brother and our closest friend. You grew up living the good life with protection and promise for life with no struggles and having to worry if you were going to get beat or arrested for stealing food just so you can strive. You don't know what it's like to truly love someone or a group of people to the point that if you leave them and don't know if you'll ever see them again, you'll be empty inside and a little void will form. Instead, you all rather jerk me from the people who are just like me, and orphan and having to make the most of what I have, and dump me into the ground with a group of strangers who are probably going to drive me to the point that I kill them all," I snarled and walked away from him.
"She's got attitude," someone laughed.
"Yeah, and you're just a filthy lowlife who thinks he's above all," I growled and walked to a random room. As long as I'm away from people.
"Hey! What are you doing in here?" A guy chuckled.
"Kill me now," I groaned. "Look, I really could care less about you people. So why don't you go back to doing whatever it was you were doing to fulfill your pathetic excuse of a life?" I sneered.
"I'm sorry. I just thought I'd make a little conversation," he said with his hands up in surrender.
"Well stop. I want nothing to do with you filthy pigs who bask in their money and glory while everyone else has to work hard for what they have, or else they have nothing and end up dealing with death, hunger, dehydration, or sickness. All y'all are, are liars. You say you want peace, but really, you just want to make sure y'all stay in charge while everyone else suffers from it. You don't care about the casualties or wars you'll start. As long as you stay at the top of the chain," I said.
"That's not-"
"Just save it," I warned and narrowed my eyes at him.
"You know, nothings going to be perfect. Your life isn't always going to work out the way you want it to," he bit at me.
"No, but Orga was the only family I had left, and I'm not ready to leave him. He's always been there for me. He raised me up from a baby," I said. My voice cracked majorly.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Reagan, leave her alone." A woman said.
She has long, white hair just like me. She looks just like me. Just... Older. Same single red eye and blue eye. It's kinda scary...
"Sorry," Reagan said.
She had bent down in front of me and put her hand on my head. "I was just like you, Hanna... And then Reagan came along. He became my big brother. Just like how Orga is yours. Hanna, we didn't take you from him forever. Think of this as a test. We'll see how you end up without Orga always with you. I know it'll be hard, but you're a tough girl. I see it. I've been seeing it. I promise you that I know how you feel. Except, I didn't have anyone. No big brother, no parents, and no friends. I was lonely."
"This test is beyond unfair. What kind of tests are y'all running? I've been treated like a guinea pig enough as it is. My eyes were a normal blue, now they're messed up from it. I'm done with tests," I said.
"I know, but let this make you stronger. Let going back to Orga be your motivation to make it out there underground," she said.

2 Days LaterI can't believe it takes two days to get here. I don't remember it taking this long last time.
"Alright Itsuka. Time to get off. We can't exactly land cause there seems to be a slight problem down there, so you'll have to jump," captain said.
"Screw my life," I said and dug through my bag. I made sure to grab my rabbit, and then jerk my sword up next. "What exactly seems to be the problem down there?"
"An attack of big suit," he answered. "Did you have that the entire time?"
"Thanks for the pleasant stay," I said sarcastically.
I walked towards the opened doorway, and dived down head first. Alright, so in order for me to not die a horrible splattering way, I should probably tilt a bit to get to the opening.
I did as I thought and made it into the dark hole. As soon as I reached lighting, I saw a ginormous machine. I see what the captain meant when he said there's a slight problem down here.
I raised my sword, twisted in the air to land perfectly, and drove my weapon straight through the suits arm, completely dismantling it from the body. Then I jumped onto the ground.
"Woah. Another earth girl? Simon look. She seems to be your age," a tall, blue haired boy said in astonishment.
"Nice going, kid. Thanks for the help," a red headed girl said.
"Is this the Giha village?" I asked.
"Yeah. Why?" The smaller boy answered.
"Damn it. I'm supposed to live here. My superior sent me here because where I was at, was for all boys, and our superiors didn't agree with me being there any longer than I have been. I see I'm not going to be staying here anymore," I answered. "Good riddance. I'm used to above ground."
The suit grabbed me up with it's one arm and jumped above the village. I squirmed and fought to get out of his hold.
"Put her down!" The tall boy shouted.
"Come and get her!" The suit shouted. I have to get to the person inside it.
