Chapter 1: 'The beginning...'
Nitro Vol.1, chapter 1: 'The Beginning...'
Darkness envelopes, as the little girl traverses through what seems to be hell. Flames, rubble, the dead, all are key significations towards this catastrophic event. Moreover, the child continues to walk ahead, through this nightmare inducing hell, capturing, and deducing every little piece of what had happened. She then walks on further, to find two figures, one residing the look and the feel of a valient, righteous king and the other resembling that of a caring resilient maiden, whom no enemy could shatter. Although they grave such highly titles, their names were shamed upon meeting, him... The being who had an aura so menacing not even they could compensate. The girl stopped, to witness these exact people dead in the arms of him, her humility had gone completely and all she could do was stand, as the face of terror glanced right at her and smiled sinisterly and away, HE went. All was quiet, so quiet that nothing but the restless rain filled with the sorrow of plenty poured, and the girl kneeling down next to bodies cried and cried until she hadn't the energy to do so, until she hadn't the tears to cry. She wooped, she weeped, because there was no definate hope, for hope in itself was lost to dread...

It's early in the morning, presumably 6:30 am, and during this time no one has woken up yet, well, except from Nitro, our fine protagonist.
Nitro: *yawns, and looks around* Ah, it sure is a quiet day today, huh. *ear twitches* Oh well, I'm gonna get my self ready for school and after that, I'll at least attempt to wake up the rest of my family. *jumps off her bed and rushes to the bathroom to get her teeth brushed and to have a bath. She then goes back into her room to find her sister, who sleeps right beside her, still sleeping, fitting her expectations. Nitro then proceeds to wake Nitra up by nudging her with both arms.*
Nitro: Ay Sis sis, I wanna make breakfast for everyone before we leave and I want you to help me.
Nitra: *moves a little bit then continues to sleep*
Nitro: *gets a little annoyed* Nitra! Wake up, damn it!!
Nitra: *opens one eye and looks directly to Nitro with a tired look on her face* Huh...?
Nitro: *bonks her head consecutively* Ay look at that, you responded. Now, can you get up and help me make breakfast!
Nitra: *gets up* HEY!
Nitro: *absolutely terrified* Y-yes?
Nitra: *speaks calmly* Now, now, now. That's no way to speak to your older sister now is it?
Nitro: *nods* Yes...
Nitra: Now, what do you say?
Nitro: *gulps* I'm sorry...
Nitra: *giggles* It's alright. Let's make breakfast now shall we?
Nitro: *smiles* Yep! Let's get right to it.
*Nitro and her sister enter their parents' room and proceed to wake them up*
Nitra: *whispers* Oi, Nitro! Don't be too loud, alright?
Nitro: *turns to Nitra, and then whispers back* Yare, yare daze. Don't worry, I'm not that reckless...
(Note 'yare yare daze' means 'alright alright' or 'good grief' in Japanese. It is pronounced 'Ya-Ray Ya-Ray Daz-Ay...)
Nitra: *sighs* Well, I hope she isn't lyi-
Nitro: Ay mom, dad! Sis sis and I are gonna make breakfast for you! Please wake up or you'll be the ones left out!
*both open their eyes, sharply*
Nitra: *gets annoyed* Nitroooo!
Nitro: Eh, what's wrong?
*Nitra does a hand chop on Nitro's head*
Nitro: Owww! *holds her head*
Nitra: What in 'don't be too loud', did you not understand?!
Nitro: S-sorry...
*Arthur gets up from the bed*
Arthur: *laughs* Don't worry about it! I was wanting to wake up in the first place.
Sophia: *giggles* Arthy, don't get too full of yourself, it's still early in the morning.
Arthur: Heh, nothing is too early nor late for me.
Nitro: *chuckles* Well you said it yourself, old man!
Arthur: *plays with Nitro's hair, laughing whilst doing so* Now now, you little moron... Let's make ourselves some breakfast!
*After Nitro and her family have breakfast, she and Nitra pack their stuff to ready to go to school*
Nitro: *approaches the front door gleefully, whilst humming*
Nitra: *looks back at Arthur and Sophia* Bye mother, father. Have a wonderful day!
Arthur: *smiles* Same with you two.
Sophia: *waves* Come back home safely, girls!
Nitro: *nods* We will mom, don't worry about that!
*Both of them proceed to leave to the school and eventually they end up there.*
