Staring blankly at the ceiling, (y/n) slowly got up. "Another agonising day as the only and closest thing to a human..." she thought. It has been around a whole year since the rest of the human race was wiped out. At night, she could still see the dead and dying people lying everywhere,  and hear their pitiful cries. She was one of the last humans to catch the disease, which they called 'Manalis saragerius' and (y/n) is the first and last to survive it. (Mana Disease for short.) To her surprise, she lived through it and she also gets a new special ability every three months. So far (y/n) has the power of healing others, using magic, instant healing and flying using angel wings.

Getting out of bed, (y/n) walked out of her bedroom, looking at the old building that was her home. Sighing, she went to the cupboard and searched for something to eat. Finding a few crackers, some carrots and some leftover meat from last night's dinner. 'Time to go hunting... again..." she sighed. After nibbling on the food, (y/n) grabbed her backpack, and put in her first aid kit, 10 knives and some arrows. Zipping her backpack shut, (y/n) swung it on her back, along with her bow made by her dead father. Then she looked at the calendar. It was 1/3/89. 

"Another 3 months, another new power..." the girl murmured. (y/n) was both nervous and slightly excited. Then it happened. A black mist enveloped her and a strange raspy voice whispered in her ears, "Your power is to be able to see someone's aura". Nodding, (y/n) proceed to put her hunting boots on. Just as she was about to leave, her older brother separated from her. 

<Yeah. I know I said (y/n) was the only human but her brother has died of the disease and (y/n) resurrected him but he was unstable so he was transferred into her body and they can separate and get together. So in theory, if (y/n) died, her brother ,Jade, would die too. He also has the same powers as (y/n). But instead of angel wings, he has demon ones. Also, if the two merge, they become stronger.> 

(y/n)'s POV

"I'm coming with you." my brother declared.

"You don't have to. I'm 15 and besides, I'm hard to kill." I responded.

Jade and I just stood there and argued for 20 minutes and in the end, his aura showed he was persistent and so I reluctantly agreed. Walking out the creaky door, my brother then decided to merge into me so we would be stronger. 

Narrator's POV

(Two days ago)

"Right. We are ready to restore the earth to its former glory."Britain told the countries. "The disease we sent down there must have long taken effect and there shouldn't be any humans." 

"And the animals?" a country with a blue background and the southern cross on his face questioned. "Those fellas shouldn't be harmed by the disease, right mate?" A nod confirmed his question.  "Now, is the research team ready?" Britain asked.

"Is that even a question?!?!" a loud voice yelled from inside the spacecraft. Rubbing his temples, Britain sighed.

"All systems are go." a voice replied.

"Right. America, Russia, China and Canada, check your radio, and the controls." Britain responded. After all the preparations were done, they reported in with UN. "Good. Let's hope they bring back good news. If they do, we can go back living on earth." The bright blue nation smiled. "Tell them I see them off." he continued.

(Time Skip)

After two day of blasting through space, America throwing insults at Russia and China, and Canada trying to break up the fights, the four of them reached earth. After much dispute about who will exit the ship first, Everyone gave up and gave in to America. Practically flying out the spacecraft, he got a mini flag and screamed," THIS IS NOW PART OF AMERICA!!!!" Poking his head out the space craft, China muttered under his breath "他是一个傻子" <"He's an idiot"> and Russia cried "Заткнись!" <Shut the hell up!>.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a knife pierced through America's mini flag, strait through the middle, making all the countries stare.

(y/n)'s POV

I was busy hunting rabbits with my brother and we caught 5 in four traps. It was a little less than our average haul but it was food nevertheless. Suddenly a loud crash sounded. Curious yet a little shaken, I signaled to Brother to merge into me and we slowly crept towards a large... spaceship? I know alot for a 15 year old who stopped school two years ago due to the disease. I also found books in broken down buildings and read them and studied them. I saw 4 different auras in the ship. One Is coming outside! Swiftly, I hid behind some slippery grey boulders that were covered in moss. Good thing I know this forest like the back of my hand and the trees are tall and very shady. 

A guy came out of the ship and started screaming in... English I think. Hiding in the shadows, I assessed the situation. The guy didn't have a menacing aura around him. He turned this way and then I saw his face. It was so peculiar. Why? Well, instead of an actual face, he had a flag. The American flag I think... Then he grabbed a pole with a piece of cloth that resembled his face and, whilst still screaming, stabbed it into the ground. It was the most curious thing you'd ever see. Some grown-ass man with an american flag on his face wearing sun shades screaming like a baboon. I was about to leave when I remembered something. In one book I had salvaged, I found a picture of a man stabbing the ground with a 'flag' and then owned the land. This was an aggressive thing, right?

Narrator's POV

'Who cares if it's an aggressive move? Kill them!' Jade said mentally.

'But what if they came on holiday? That dude with the flag even has sunshades on.' Separating from (y/n), Jade shrugged and then threw a knife at the center of the flag, catching the attention of the four newcomers.

"Who is there!" America cried. Canada came over to examine the knife that has pinned the piece of cloth to their spaceship. "Looks Britain was wrong about no humans. No other species could throw knives." China pointed out, using his broken english. "Yeah no joke comrad." Russia commented. Suddenly, a black flash caught his eye.
