08:31 AM, SOMEWHERE ON RHODES ISLAND

(Author Pov)

"So... Where are we going now, Captain!" A Defender Operator asked their leader, Melantha.

"C-Calm down, C-Cardigan..!"

Right now, Melantha. The leader of Reserve Team A4 was having a brief meeting about their next mission, which consist of 5 people.



Melantha is a Guard Operator, she is the leader of Team A4. Although she's a bit shy and nervous, she can do well with proper instruction.



Cardigan is a Defender Operator, she provides reliable defense for their squad, she's very talkative and is a great friend to Melantha, if only she would quiet down for a bit...



Adnachiel is a Sniper Operator, he will hinder any enemy attacks with his crossbow, according to his teammates, he is called the "pretty genius boy"..? I'm not sure.



Steward is a Caster, he provides arts support on the battlefield, formally known as the " Mr. Nice guy" of Team A4, was a role model before...? Huh..?



And lastly, Ansel. He is a Healer Operator, yes. You heard me. It's a HE! Quite shocking for me! Ehem... He provides great healing support on the battlefield. Do your best, Ansel!

"We're going to investigate a dead town..?" Ansel asked

Currently, they are huddled around the cafeteria table, eating their breakfast before starting the mission.

"Y-Yes... Dr. K-Kal'tsit assigned us to do t-this mission..." Melantha stuttered

"Then, it has to be an important mission right..!" Cardigan asked excitedly, Melantha was a bit light-headed due to how cheerful she was

"N-No I... M-Maybe...?' Melantha asked nervously, trying to act confident

"Well, I guess we don't have a choice do we?" Steward said with a smug smile on his face

"W-Well... Yeah... But who's gonna drive..?" Melantha asked, still nervous.

"I will, I will!!" Cardigan shouted while raising her hand, Melantha was surprised while she made an 'eek!' sound

"C-Cardigan..! D-Dont scare me like t-that...!" Melantha told Cardigan while shaking. Cardigan only responded with "Ehe~" with a cheerful face

"Then, we should get prepared. I will get the car ready" Adnachiel said to his team, they all agreed and finished their meal. Taking their equipments from their lockers. While Melantha was taking her sword, coincidentally, Dobermann was there in the weapon locker room.

"Good morning, Melantha" Doberman said with a strict tone,



Ignore the dog

"A-Ah! G-Good morning... Dobermann Sensei...." Melantha answered, still shy as ever. Melantha did a quick bow before asking Dobermann again

"A-Are you on a m-mission...?"

"No, I'm evaluating the new recruits. Are you okay?" Doberman asked, making Melantha stutter. "N-No..! I.... I mean... Y-Yes..." Melantha said, she quickly recomposed herself and continued "D-Doctor Kal'tsit gave u-us a new mission..." Dobermann was curious, but she was busy at the time

"Oh? Then good luck on your mission, Melantha." Dobermann pats her shoulder before leaving, Melantha tensed up before smiling softly

"A-Ah... T-Thank you Dobermann S-Sensei..." Melantha blurted out, continuing what she was doing before

Time skip to the car

"Are you guys ready?" Cardigan asked, preparing herself in the driver's seat

Melantha was sitting beside Cardigan, Steward was in the middle right and Adnachiel was in the middle left with Ansel between both of them

"We're all set, let's go." Adnachiel answered with confidence

Cardigan nodded eagerly and started the car, making a 'vroom' sound before taking off to the town. Starting their journey to the dead town.

08:54 AM, SOMEWHERE WITH (Y/N)

(Y/N Pov)

"I think that's all..." I was packing up, getting ready to leave this hellhole of a town. I just hope Dr. Money isn't here, creepily stalking me around the corner...

"Urrgh... Where did I put my GameBoy..." I grumbled in frustration, though my face shows no emotion. I don't know why...

Pfft, I didn't think about it too much.

I was scattering things across the room, clothes, tools, equipments, and the rest of the stuff I found around the town. At least the ones that were still usable after the virus outbreak...?

Speaking of the virus, I found weird rocks growing on people! It was black and kind of weird... They also grew in their body! How do I know? It's better to forget... Eugh...

Pushing those thoughts away, I found my GameBoy... His GameBoy...

Crack

I quickly spun around and looked in the direction of the sound. I was not alone.

"Whos there?" I shouted with no emotion but loud enough to be heard. I was preparing for the worst, Dr. Money. But something different came out from the dark...

.

.

.

"A... Dog...?" That was all I could say. It looked like a dog, but some parts of it were covered in those black rocks I found. One thing for sure, it looked NOT friendly. It growled to me, 'what did I do?! Why was it mad at me?!' My thoughts were cut short by the dog dashing toward me, and I panicked. Not knowing how to defend myself, I held my arm up. Closing my eyes, I prepared for the impact.

I stood still. .

.

.

.

.

'The fuck..?' There was no flesh flinging around, or blood dripping from my hand.

'Weird... Am I dead already?' I thought before opening my eyes.

I was... Shocked. The dog was chained up by some kind of chains that came out of the ground! 'What the hell?! That's so cool!' I thought, but who did that?

Looking around, I saw my right hand giving off a black aura, I was surprised but then I realized...

The chains were from my right hand's power..? Yeah, it looks like the same color. 'Oh... Wow...' I thought being ecstatic and happy about it, for some reason my face wouldn't form any emotion... Why...? Am I emotionless now..? Urgh... Forget it.

Looking back at the dog, he kept growling at me while it was chained down, I walked up slowly to it. Looking at my hands, I attempted to control the chains I made. I closed my palms and squeezed as hard as I can, at first it didn't do anything until...

Crack

An audible crack was heard, I looked at the dog and it was... Dead.

Laying motionless on the ground with a chain on its neck, I stood there processing what just happened...

"I..." I looked down

"Have powers." Looking up with a forced small grin, while putting both of my hands on my waist. Feeling proud of my first kill.

Time skip

I was ready to leave..! Wearing a bag I totally didn't steal from some random house, It was filled with all the things I needed for my journey...

The GameBoy. Charlotte's letter. Some random wearable clothes, somehow they fit me.

And my spider friend, Timmy!

Why did I keep Timmy? Well, he was my only friend in that cell! Salvadore put a little black spider on a letter he sent to me when I was in that cell, so I named it... Timmy. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl... But that doesn't matter! I will take Timmy! I wouldn't leave my only best buddy who kept me company in that shitty cell!

Checking my bag once again, I looked inside and see Timmy already making webs inside the bottle I put him in.

"Aww, buddy..." I stared at my spider, he looked at me before continuing making more webs.

"Woow, that's rude." I said sarcastically, closing my bag, I walked to my old friend's graveyard.

Standing in front of 3 of them, I sat down while crossing my legs. Signing heavily before talking.

"Hey guys.. It's me... (Y/N).." "I know I didn't respond to any letter you sent.. It's my fault..." "I.. Didn't know how to. All this time I wasn't given the option to respond from Dr. Money, I-I'm really sorry..."

I sat there, silently sobbing. It was the last time I will see them before going. They were my only friends who talked to me.

So I sat there, and cried..

I missed them.

It was my fault.
