:Alive: [The Southern Sufferring]

Chapter 5: Leroy Scott with Wind Beneath his Wings

Well, this sure was quite the pickle good ol' Leroy had gotten himself into. He supposed it wasn't his fault though, and as the being in the sky calling itself Zephiel droned on about their situation, Leroy couldn't help but be totally confused. This area wasn't familiar to him. It was way to urban to be the outback that he had called home moments before being transported here. The atmosphere was all rusted and bleak as well. Before he had stumbled upon this stadium, he had heard the low roars and grumbles of what was supposedly the "Majin", but luckily Leroy was fast on his feet and made it to the safest looking place in time. The world had gone to shit, but it was a world that Leroy was going to somehow stay alive in.

His phone was speaking to him. So far that was only the second strangest thing to happen to him today.

"Hey! You're quite the spunky brewstah' aint ya? We're gonna need a cheery attitude like that in this dump now ain't we? It was nice meeting ya Yuel!" Leroy placed his phone back into his pocket. So if he had understood everything, the barrier that was protecting them was going to fade? Guess they couldn't save the planet from within a bubble. Leroy also had forgotten about these other youngsters who were in this abandoned stadium as well. They all seemed distant, not to mention frazzled about their new situation. However, one guy spoke before anyone else had, flicking his cigarette to the turf.

Leroy smiled. He took a guess that now was his time to shine! He pounded on his chest and shouted. "Oy! The name's Leroy Scott! Been on this planet for about seventeen years now! Currently attending High School in Sydney, Australia. Good on you Jared for breakin' that thick ice surroundin' the place!" Leroy walked up to the Japanese boy and slapped his hands down onto his shoulders. He smiled at him. "And good on you too Riku! Taking that initiative to find some supplies. This numb skull o' mine woulndta' even thought about scavenging around the place, despite my outback survival skills! Not many unattended stadiums we have next to the ol' red rocks if you know what I mean?" The rest of the group looked reluctant to speak. Two females preferred to stick to the back. A girl with bright red hair took his attention next, and he had to concentrate really hard to make sure his jaw didn't drop on the spot. Another man of Asian descent was also due for an intro. "Well, whoever you lot are, It's grand to get to survive with you all! I can tell we're gonna be the best of mates!"
