Otaku City: Black Light District

Episode: {Shiva}

Shiva Witch Hunting Academy is a top secret training facility to select individuals to join the Shiva Strike Team. It is extremely selective and an individual can only enter via recommendation by a high ranking worker of Shiva Corp. Enter, Ryoko Emily, Skilled in physical combat, Expert Software and Hardware developer, 14 years old and already graduated from secondary school and handpicked by Yoshisawa Takeru himself. Today is the day when ShivaCorp recruits new members to join the Strike Team. The trials involve a large variety of obstacles that the none of the students will know about. Emily has been relocated to Otaku City to commence her training.

{Tokyo ITS}
A girl is seen with a colourful suitcase and sporting a light pink hoodie with cat ears. Believe it or not, this girl is Ryoko Emily, before her training to become a witch hunter, before she even knew what witches were. She had been told that she was accepted early into Shiva University from recommendation from her uncle, this was obviously a lie.
The time was 18:45, it was finally time for Emily to leave, She taps her student passport onto the ITS panel and selects Otaku City. Emily walks through and prepares herself for a wild journey.

{Shiva Learning Institute Dormitory, Karekuri Campus}
Emily opens the door to the lobby room. It's late, so the room is practically empty. Emily follows the set of instructions sent to her, she walks up to the receptionist and hands her a glass card, "I'm here for the special service" she says. The woman takes the card from Emily's hand and slides it into a machine, she then fiddles with some keys on her keyboard. "Alright, just follow me" the receptionist says, Emily nods and pulls up the handle on her suitcase. The woman notices this, "Would you like me to hold onto that for you?" The receptionist asks Emily. Emily gives a light giggle as a response "No... should I?"
"I just really think I should hold onto it until you get assigned a room, that's all"
"It's okay, I'll just hold onto it. No need to trouble you".
The receptionist gives a sigh "Okay then. I guess you can't say I didn't warn you...". Emily tilts her head in confusion, she wondered what the woman meant by that. The woman leads her to the elevator and presses the 5121 buttons. A blight light flashes and the area around Emily becomes disoriented and mixed up. When the area around Emily finally becomes visible, she finds herself in a room with a man sitting in a chair and with a cup of tea and a blast furnace next to him. "H-hello?" Emily stutters to the man, the responds by placing his teacup down and walking over to Emily. The man looks down at Emily's suitcase "Is this yours?" He asks, Emily straightens up "Yes sir"
"What's inside"
"Just living Essentials, clothing and some personal items, sir"
"Nothing else?"
"No sir"
"Good"
The man then picks up Emily's suitcase and throws it into the blast furnace, a loud bang can be heard as all of the things Emily brought were incinerated. "WHA... I" Emily couldn't believe it, all of her things that she was going to use to personalise her room have bee destroyed. The man walks right up to Emily "My name is Officer Sato and you're going to grow to hate me" this man was of a fair muscular build and had two hand guns on his waist "We were informed you don't have a Shivanano implant" Sato continues "You'll get one along with your Uniform. That ridiculous outfit you're wearing will be burned as well. All living necessities will be provided for you by Shiva Corp. You are dismissed". Emily wasn't very happy with what she signed up for, she didn't see anything like this in the agreement form. But one thing is for sure, she has grown to hate Officer Sato.

{Day 1: Class}

"Witches. They are the bi-product of ShivaCorps greatest invention, the Shivanano. They are also the living definition of walking garbage. They must be eliminated to ensure the purity of the human race and the integrity of our beloved ShivaCorp. Any questions?". Emily raises her hand, "Yes, Mrs Ryoko?" the teacher replies. Emily stands up in her new White ShivaCorp training uniform. "Yes" Emily says "The thing is... from what I've read in our study text, witches used to be humans before the experiments that were performed on them. Does becoming a witch really dehumanises them?". Everyone in the classroom starts laughing and whispering amongst another. "Lookie here everyone" the teacher says "The new kid thinks she's top shit and that she knows everything" he walks toward Emily "Perhaps you'll like to stay behind after class for some further explanation". Emily stares down "Yes sir...".
Lunch time came around. The cafeteria was more of a restaurant, there were booths and holographic screens that you could order your food from. Emily sat herself into an empty booth and orders a bowl of Tonkatsu Ramen. A boy with white hair sits next to her. Emily notices the boys enormous hammer with two spikes on each end. "Uh... hi?" Emily says, "Hi" the boy replies
"What are you doing?"
"Sitting here"
"Why?"
"Because other people weren't"
Emily starts to frown "You do know who I am, right?", the boy smiles "Yeah, you're the girl who thinks witches are beings that deserve to live". Emily looks away from him, "I do agree" Emily looks back up at him, he smiles at Emily. "Really?" Emily thinks about it for a while "So what, that big hammer your holding is just for crushing walnuts?". A group of girls approach the two's booth "Hehe, hey everyone look" one of the girls says " The two pacifists retards are huddling together like a bunch of filthy rats", The group start giggling behind her. The boy stands up with a grin smeared across his face. "Y,know..." he begins to say "I may not agree with killing witches..." *BANG* a sound as loud as a thunderclap echos throughout the room. The now petrified girl turns her eyes to see the end on the boys hammer right next to the girls face, barely touching her cheek "...But I'm no pacifist". The girl begins to cry and runs away, her posse follows her. The boy looks back at Emily "Hi, my names Hirokata Brendon" he says. Emily begins to smile, it was nice to know there was someone at the school who understood her. "Hey" she replies "I'm Ryoko Emily".

{Day 460: Invasion}
A year and a bit has passed since Emily and Brendon met each other. The two of them are in the designated training area. Emily decided to use a two handed sword as her weapon of choice, she isn't very good with it however. Brendon had been recruited for a special mission and was leaving this night, this was the last time Emily and Brendon would ever train together. Brendon swings his hammer at Emily, Emily quickly parries the attack at tries to strike Brendon back. Brendon quickly blocks the attack and pushes her off. "Not bad" Brendon says "Your speed as improved a lot. I think we'll call it a day".

The two of them get out of the changing rooms "Do you really have to leave?" Emily asks "You don't even know what the missions about". Brendon sighs "Sorry, no can do. Officer Sato says that it's a compulsory mission". Emily starts to feel sad, her only friend was going to leave her soon. "Hey!" Brendon says "I'll be back in five days okay?. Trust me, I'll be fine". Emily smiles a bit "Okay..." she walks up to Brendon and hugs him. Out of nowhere, she somehow musters the courage to leap up and kiss him on the cheek. Brendon is surprised by this, he looks at Emily who is now blushing and coving her lips with her hand "c-come back safe. Okay?" She says. Brendon smiles "Yeah... alright".

{Day 465: Horror}
Five days pass since that day and Emily is happily walking around waiting for Brendon to come back. As she's walking backwards and forwards in her room, a notification pops up on her ShivaNano. Emily opens the notification to see that some items were transferred to her ShivaNano's code. Emily materialises one of the items to find herself in shock. The item crashes onto Emily's dorm room floor, it was Brendon's hammer.

Emily rushes through the hallways, not caring who she accidentally ran into. She eventually made it to the landing port to see Officer Sato's ship landing and Officer Sato walking off towards Emily's direction. Emily walks towards him "Umm hello sir, I just saw Brendons gear get transferred to me... did something happen to him?". Officer Sato looks down at Emily sternly and looks back up "Agent Hirokata was assassinated by Witches during our mission. You were the one he listed to transfer his belongings to if he were to ever to cease living". Emily feels as if an array of bullets had just punctured through her chest, Brendon was dead. "Perhaps this will show you. There are no such thing as humane Witches" Officer Sato says, he begins to walk off. After this moment, Brendons death fueled Emily's hatred for Witches. Now sporting Brendons hammer and part of his gear. Emily, with her advanced mindset and Brendons expert training, would become one of ShivaCorps greatest front line Witch hunters.

{Day: 850}
"Congratulations, Agent Ryoko. You have been promoted to ShivaCorps Strike Team representing Otaku City. You'll be assigned to Arifureta Campus to do some reconnaissance on these 4 students" Officer Sato throws 4 pictures of different students onto the table in front of Emily, who at the moment was sharpening her hammer with a sanding block "Anything else I should know?" She says broadly. Officer Sato smiles "These students may be able to lead you to the infamous 'Black Light District', practically a slaughter ground for you". Emily picks up the photographs and walks out of the room. Officer Sato gives a light laugh "What a fine piece of work I've made".

{DragonFruit Base, present day}
Taiyou opens his eyes, to see himself lying on a bed in the corner of a room, dimly lit by a single lightbulb. Taiyou is shivering from the cold feeling coursing throughout his body, he feels too week and light headed to do anything. Aoi suddenly opens the door with her arms behind her back. "Hey Taiyou" she says gleefully "Time for your daily medication". She plops a box on a table next to Taiyou's bed and pulls out a syringe. Taiyou grabs Aoi by the arm "Please... no more..." he says with a grim look across his face "I can't take it anymore... it's so horrible...". Aoi smiles at Taiyou, she then pulls his arm and injects the contents into Taiyou. "AAAAAAAAAUUUGGGHHHH" Taiyou screams, he then falls back onto the bed "ITS SO COLD... AND PAINFUL!" he cries "MAKE IT STOP... PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP". Aoi lies down next to Taiyou's suffering body and starts to stroke his face "There there, it's all a part of being our saviour. This is what needs to happen". Taiyou continues to cry and plea, Aoi still sits back and does nothing besides trying to comfort him (and fail miserably). The door then shuts with Taiyou's loud screams echoing the surrounding area.
