Episode 1: From the Ashes…

 

“Charge!”

“But General Hashimoto, we're outnumbered!”

“We'll fight to the death!” The rhythmic thunder of horse hooves is heard as various war cries scream out.

“Wh-what the hell?! Is that a new Demon weapon?! General Hashimoto! What do we do, sir!?”

Now getting angry, “ Quit cowering and fi--- RAAAGGHH!!” The General is swept away by a black beam.

“General!! Next in command! What do we do?!”

“…”

“Sir!?”

“…We run, whatever the hell that is, it's too powerful. You there, order the retreat, all units!”

“Yes si----AAARRGHH!!!”

The call came too little too late, as the entire village of Fujira, as well as both the Demon armies and the human forces were annihilated by an enormous blast of black energy.

 

“Is he stable?” A meek, obviously worried voice asks.

“Yes, I think so, at least for now…”

“Thank you doctor Fuji---“

“Wait, what's this? Hmmm, he has Demon runes on his right arm…”

“What could it mean, sir?”

“I don't know, he was probably a failed experiment. Fujira was a major Demon base. He was probably abducted by the Demons and used in an experiment. But to tell the truth, I didn't think anything would escape whatever happened at Fujira…”

“….?”

“He's waking doctor!”

“Where-“

“Don't move, you were seriously injured at Fujira, just rest now, you're safe.”

 

The patient Dr.Fuji and Nurse Reika were hovering over was a boy, probably nineteen or so, silver hair and gray eyes about five feet and nine inches tall. His clothes were already replaced by a hospital gown. And on his upper right arm were strange symbols arranged around a circle.

 

“?”

“Oh, you're awake!” A cheery, somewhat tired voice half-squeaked.

“Where am I?”

“You're at Osaka Base!”

“Who are you?”

“I'm-“

“Her name is Reika.” A smooth deep voice answered from out of view.

“Oh! Dr. Fuji!”

“She stayed with you while you were sleeping, I don't think she has even moved since you were placed here.”

“Who am I?”

“You don't remember?”

“…no…” His voice came out worried and weak.

“Hmm, post-shock amnesia… Do you remember how old you are? Where you came from? Anything?”

“… I--- I think I'm nineteen…”

“Well, it's good to see that you are doing better… I know!” He hits his palm with his fist for emphasis.

“Reika, take, ummm, what should we call you?”

“Call me-!” He hears a voice.

“akira …”

“Hello?” Reika said in her usual squeak.

“… call me Akira.”

“Okay, Aky, let me show you around the compound!”

“…” He was silent, slightly stunned at the nickname.

“Okay.”

 

And they walked off, down a gray hall…
