《 Chapter 1 - Let's play 》

"TENSHI!" A masculine voice shouted. Tenshi didn't know who it was but knew that something was wrong. The man's voice was trembling, he cried out in despair. Tenshi looked behind, everyone was dead... but who was that "everyone"?

Tenshi trembles.

"W-what is t-this?"

Tenshi looks around but all Tenshi saw was chaos and blooshed.
Tenshi didn't know what was going on but knew that something was definitely wrong. Looking at owns hand , blood, blood everywhere.

Everyone dead.

Sound of silence with a taste of dark silent cries was heard. Tenshi couldn't control anything. Instead, Tenshi just stood up in the middle of the corpses, shaking.

" GET ME OUT OF T-THIS!!! " , Tenshi shouts out while tearing up.

Then Tenshi woke up with a start. It was just a dream. Tenshi sighed in relief but was still very confused. That "dream" felt too real, it felt like a warning.

"Are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost" said Aika.

Aika was Tenshi's friend ever since the great war happened. She was all Tenshi ever had. Aika and Tenshi go to the same school, and same roof. Aika's parents were kind enough to take in Tenshi in their family. Ever since Tenshi moved in their place, Aika and Tenshi became the best of friends, almost like siblings.

"Ah it was nothing, just a bad dream"
"I told you not to eat too much fries before sleeping"
"I do what I need to do"
With a sigh, Aika reminded Tenshi that it was breakfast time and they had to eat since Aika's mom was calling them already. They both went to the kitchen and ate.

"Aika's mom and dad are very nice to me, If they had not took me in, I would be dead meat" said Tenshi in mind while smiling. Aika's mom noticed it and asked what was up.
"Ah nothing, I'm just really greatful that you guys took me in"
"That was 6 years ago"
"Still am greatful" said Tenshi with a smile.
Aika's mom felt very uncertain , the atmosphere changed the whole time they ate when Tenshi said that. There was something wrong.

After breakfast, Tenshi and Aika went to their room to play a game they found on the "ancient" store. The guy there said that the past humans that lived played all the games that were in their shop. It was interesting and cheap so we bought a game and its console.

"Super s-smash bros Ultimate?" Said Aika.
"Looks interesting, lets play it"
Tenshi and Aika played the game, while so, Aika's parents were talking.

"How about Tenshi? Can't we just take her with us?"
"We can't, she's one of them and it's gonna be way risky."
"How do we tell her this?"
"I'll do it."
" ...fine."

"Woah , this game was awesome! Let's play more!" Said Tenshi.
Aika disagreed, "Its already late!!!! We need to eat dinner then sleep"
"You're just bitter that you keep on losing" Tenshi said jokingly.
Aika's mom called them for dinner and they went there to eat. While eating, the same atmosphere was there. It was uncertain, wierd, and something definently felt wrong. Tenshi couldn't take it anymore.

"Uh- Mrs Hikari, is there something wrong?"
"Oh! I uh-"
"We're going to leave" , Aika's father cutting in.
"Oh okay"
"Without you that is"
"W-WHAT?" shouted Aika.

Aika's aura felt very mad, disappointed, but at the same time... sad. Aika didn't want to leave her best friend, she doesn't want to leave Tenshi after knowing what Tenshi had gone through. Aika's parents knew this was gonna happen , they didn't really mean for this to happen but there was no other choice. Aika's dad told Tenshi that they're gonna put Tenshi in a training facility for warriors to be born to fight the sakerarenai's. Tenshi didn't have no other choice but to agree. Aika's parents did a-lot for Tenshi, so naturally... Tenshi didnt want to dissapoint them and said " I'll do my best".

Tenshi can practically feel Aika's soul almost breaking into pieces, and it broke Tenshi's heart.
" M-mom isn't there another way?? "
Aika's voice was shaking and she was tearing up as well
" s-sorry dear but... Sakerarenai's are risky to bring..." Aika's mom answered
Tenshi's face after hearing that went really down...
" THIS IS THE PROBLEM! JUST BECAUSE TENSHI IS FROM THAT RACE DOESN'T MEAN TENSHI IS ONE OF THEM!!! THE DISCRIMINATION THESE DAYS ARE JUST SO- "
Tenshi cuts Aika's statement and accepted the fact that they had to leave...
" Aika it's okay... ill be back soon enough "
Tenshi smiles with a painful expression

"S-sorry I couldn't do much..." Aika responded
" you did alot Aika... thanks "

They hug

A few weeks later...

TENSHI'S POV

It's time, I'm leaving. This feels nostalgic. Why does this feel nostalgic?!?

This feels like the same thing that happened but-

We passed by the forest, a big Lake then we I arrived over a big hill full of trees.

"We're here!" said the girl

I was confused. Nothing was there... until...
the girl flipped some kind of switch on a specific tree. The dirt moved then there was a staircase. It was a hidden Academy.

"Welcome to the training academy, or hell or whatever"  said the girl as we enter the big, old, and very ancient academy.

… I just have this feeling in my guts that no matter what … and I mean no matter what… I have to stay alive…

I did promise someone…

What?
