Generation Next

Chapter 2: The Past

Our story of our heroine Ryley Acer continues sometime later after the drop of the black bombs with green chemical liquid inside.

I woke up sometime later in a dazed and fuzzy state. I felt differnt somehow. It was like I had gained a stronger will to survive the destructon of humanity. I looked at myself and my blue jeans ,puple teeshirt, and gray sweater jacket were torn and tattered greatly. The pant leg of my blue jeans were ripped and the complete left side of my jeans were torn to shreds. My jacket was now just one side ,and my tee shirt bottom was torn so you could see my flat stomach.

I got up from the blast and then I realized there was the green liquid all over my skin and then the liquid began to move on its own. The green chemical began to seep into my skin and and i felt omething coming over me i couldn't understand what was going on. What was happening to me?

The green liquid entered my body and it began to burn. The heat got hotter and hotter , but my body was not engulfed in any type of flames. If I was being burned then why were there no flames that spread across my body at all? My body became hotter and hotter and I looked at myself thinking there had to be flames surrounding my body , but there were still no flames ?

Eventually, the pain became unbearable and I looked at someone for help but no one was awake. The bomb from earlier must have knocked out the rest of people around me. What can I do? Then I remembered what I was here for. I chose to survive and to survive this burn had to be nothing. I couldn't give into the pain overflowimg through my body. I began to shriek in pain as the the burning sensation continued throughout my body. I crie for help , but no one answered my cry of pain and agony. I kept as much of my willpower as possible and thought of my will to live and stood up in pain and didn't give up.

Although, I really wanted to give into the pain and die I didn't give up. I let  the pain continue on and after sometime I heard a struggle from below the ground and I found out it was the boy from earlier who stated he was from "Generation Next". He seemed to still be alive , but he was bleeding out and fast.

He looked at and shouted , " I chose you for a reason, now show me why I decided to choose you out of this mass of people. Don't give up let the chemical seep into your bones. Show me I made the right choice to save you !"

I looked at him and let the pain give into my body. I no longer rejected the pain entering my body but, accepted what was happening to me and the pain continued to flow , but it began to feel better and the pain seemingly lessend. At least I thought that was what was happening to me.

A powerful surge came over my body and I felt myself becoming more powerful. The pain had finally stopped ,but my body was producing a hot wave of steam that came through out my body. The steam created from my body gave me warmth. I looked at my body in awe at the amazing power I felt inside myself. I was covered in sweat from the steam my body produced and I wiped my forehead from the sweat. I started breathing heavily , but i didn't feel weak at all? Could this be from the green liquid chemical that entered my body?

I lifted my hand to get a closer look at myself then suddenly the boy from earlier looked at me. He still had the intense look from earlier and started to rise up . I got a good look at him and he too was bloody all over he tred to stand, when suddenly pain in his right arm began to throb and he screamed in pain as blood spewd through his right arm . The blood continued to flow and he continued to scream. I looked at him more closely and he too began to produce steam from his right arm and he used his left hand to grab his right shoulder.

I looked at him and was astonished to see that he too was producing steam. He has to know about what is going on. He probably knows alot. I run over to him and stretch out my hand and say, "Need a hand there ?"
