A second chance

Day 1: Fail and face erasure Part 1

Everything was dark. My head felt like it was being ripped open by someone's bare hands. When I was finally able to open my eyes I found out that I was lying in the middle of the an incredibly busy street. About a minute later I was finally able to think straight and realized that I was in the middle of the Scramble, the busiest street in the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

'What am I doing here?' I wondered to myself. 'How did I get here?'

The last thing that I could remember was walking home from school and stoping at my favorite Ramen shop. Everything after that was all fuzzy and clouded. I remember following something into an ally. I heard a noise and that was it. Next thing I knew I woke up in the Scramble.

Buzz, buzz.

My phone went off. 'I forgot I even had this.'

I managed to get to my feet, and checked my messages. There was only one in my inbox.

Defeat the boss at 104 You have 60:00 minutes. Fail and face erasure.

-The Reapers

'What the heck?' 'What is that supposed to mean?'

Just then I felt a sharp pain in my right hand. Before I could clasp my other hand on it the burning sensation stopped. I looked down at my hand, and there was a timer. It was almost like a changing tattoo. It was at 59:32 and still counting down.

"None of this makes any sense!" I shouted out loud. No one stopped to look at me, like I wasn't even there at all. I tried to get someone's attention but when I reached out to tap their shoulder, my hand moved right through them.

To make things worse I was pushed to the ground a few seconds later. I turn to face my attacker, but the only thing there was a giant frog.

Yes you read that last line correctly. I was under attack by a group of giant frogs. They were at least two feet tall.

They began to lung at me again. Right before they got off the ground they were blown back by an explosion.

"Thought you might need help." A girl with brown hair shouted behind me. "We need to form a pact."

"A what?!" I questioned back.

"Just agree!" She demanded

"Ok, fine whatever." I said obviously extremely confused.

Just then a beam of light surrounded me and the girl. The beam had felt good, it made me fell like I could do anything. I had felt more powerful after it was over.

"Well looks like we're partners." She beamed. "Now help me kill these things!"
