Division-A

Episode Fourteen. (May 26th, 2123. Division-A, South District.)

The gray, concrete walls of the high school used to be bare. The classes used to be filled with students, happy and cheerful. The sun would shine bright through the perfectly clean and spotless windows, and the doors wouldn't be flown open. However, now everything had been ruined. Everything was covered in the blood and entrails of the student body. Akino dragged his classmate down the scenic stairwell so no one would see. His hands and face were stained with blood. He was too scared to cry.

He laid him against the wall and whispered, "I'll be right back, don't go anywhere." Akino then ran back up the stairs, panting heavily.

'How in the hell- how did this happen?!! Why?!,' he thought to himself.

He ran up to the last stair, pausing and peeking over the corner in fear. As his eyes focused, he could see Makina, covered in blood, aiming her weapon at the Compactor in front of them. It had frayed blonde hair, grey skin, tentacles, and a large, tooth-filled mouth. It's limbs were deformed and the jaw was completely visible from cheek to cheek.

When Akino saw a chance, he ran to the other end of the hall and snuck into a classroom before the Compactor found an opportunity to kill him. As soon as he walked in, he grabbed his mouth, taking all of his strength to prevent himself from throwing up. The smell of decaying flesh and blood filled the room. If he had one reason to work along side Omegas, this was it.

"Hello?! Are you alive?!" He ran over to a small girl, her uniform dyed red, curled up under a table in the furthest corner from the door.

The girl nodded. Akino took her hand and lifted her up. She trembled and her hand was shaking severely. A tear ran down her face as her and Akino looked at the classroom while they walked. The teacher, laying on a table, had gotten impaled with what looked like one of the Compactor's tentacles. A puddle of blood dripped onto the ground, creating several more puddles. Tables had been flipped over and a window had been broken. Books had been scattered across the floor and a few more corpses had been laying about.

"Why...," the girl said. Akino looked at her. "We only wanted some time to ourselves... then this..."

The two piers walked out. Before the boy could say something, Makina was shot down to the opposite side of the hallway and shoved into a window, shattering the glass behind her. She fell to the ground and wiped the blood from her mouth.

"Makina!"

She spit out her bodily fluid. "Ignore me, just get all the survivors out! I'll try to keep the Compactor up here!"

The girl looked up, wrapping her arm around Akino for support. "The transfer student...?"

He nodded, walking her down the same stairwell he went up, taking her to the collection of mortified survivors so they could keep each other company. Akino stumbled up the stairs once more, grabbing his throbbing head as he thought to himself how something like this could happen; and in a school full of children nonetheless.

The majority of the students remained unaware of the disaster that was happening in the floor above them. Their own chatter drowned out the screams and loud noises from above. The majority remained ignorant, stuffing their faces before classes resumed. Sadly, the students above were burdened with the secretive life of Omegas hidden from them.

Akino spun around the corner, panting. "I got all of them! The survivors are in the stairwell!"

Makina crouched as the Compactor launched over her. "Matoi, now!"

Makina, hidden under the monster, watched on with uneasy eyes as blue sparks bounced off the walls behind it. Suddenly, a shiny, robotic blade pierced through its stomach, just missing Makina's face. The Compactor flipped around, exposing Makina as Matoi ripped it open from behind.
