-Original Story made and directed by Chrollo-

The city lies in ruin as distant clangs and booms can be heard. The air is chilling and the clouds bring rain.

The sounds only get louder as time goes on, what could it be? A fight? That's precisely what it was one man against 100 "creatures". The big black slimy things rush at the man at increasing speeds but it's to no avail as the man cuts them down as quickly as they come.

(They may be weak but they can easily overwhelm-)

The man dodges backward, away from an oncoming slash from the "creature" before easily slicing through it. The man looks around seeing them getting closer before getting annoyed and lifting his sword up-

"This is tiring now-"

His sword glows in a blue haze and as he moves it in a circular motion it leaves a blue trail behind making a circle-

"if only god could save you...Heavenly degradation-"

The man turns his sword stabbing it into the ground and a huge blast comes from the ground blowing the entire area apart. The broken-down city that would've been "The Main point" is now gone into nothingness, not a trace is left except for the large city-size crater left behind from the attack.

The area is full of dust but the man can tell that no more "creatures" are around the area. He starts to walk away from the destruction he caused with a calm and collected face.

"My clothes got ripped...she's going to kill me"

A small sweat drop comes down his face as he thinks of the lecture and possible beating he will receive from a seemingly important lady. He continues the walk until he reaches an outhouse about 30 kilometers away from the destruction seeing a motorcycle.

The motorcycle was a slick black with red outlines. As he sat on the wet seat he revved the motorcycle before kicking the stand up and zooming off. Even though it was raining it fit the young man's esthetic. The darkened clouds blended with his dark clothing and the cracked and messy road fitted his torn and dirty clothes.

(How could I avoid her until I change...)

The man thought as he rode. Raindrops assaulted his face lightly but he didn't mind it didn't bother him, what did bother him was the feeling of eyes on his back but no one is there. He ignored it after a while and continued to travel a long distance.

After a while, he approaches a huge wall Separating whatever was inside from out and lifting his head and body into a straight position. After a minute a voice is heard from above-

"Who are you?"

"Isaki Tenshi of squad 1"

The man is now revealed as Isaki keeps looking forward at the huge metallic that slowly opens to reveal a huge State with lots of people walking around having fun. Isaki slowly rides in through the streets seeing the people playing; he sees lovers, kids, siblings, and parents walking around laughing, and joking. He looks down keeping eye contact to a minimum as he didn't want to remember...or hope for anything beyond reach.

He made his way to nearly a huge building not too far from the entrance but still a long way from the state's center. He went and park in the underground garage they had before getting off the bike and walking into an elevator that starts to take him up.

(I can try to avoid her until I get to my room and change...but then she'd ask why I changed before coming to her first-) Isaki Sighs "This is gonna be troubling"

The elevator stops and opens its doors revealing a white hallway with blue strips of light and red arrows telling what direction things were in. Isaki turned to the right and started to head to his room. As he walks he passes windows that show the inside of rooms, within those rooms are scientists, kids, trainees, and others. Isaki ignores it until he passes a sign that says "LTS Care" above a glass sliding door.

He stands there, before walking begrudgingly walking away. He gets down the hall before a piercing voice could be heard.

"Isaki?"

The feminine voice makes Isaki completely stop as he remembers the state of his clothes and a sweat drop runs down his cheek despite the fairly cool air from the AC.

"You're not going in to visit her Isa-"

The lady approaches him slowly before looking at him and seeing the state his clothes are in. Silence fills the area briefly before Isaki turns around to see her. The lady has a nice frame with pitch-black hair shoulder-length hair, gray-like blue eyes, tanned skin, and a slender body. She stood at 5'8 while Isaki stood at 5'11, so he had to look slightly down at her. 

Isaki decides to say something to the lady to break the silence-

"Hey, Suzou-"

"You promised to keep those neat and undamaged Isaki"

Suzou says looking slightly up at him to give him direct eye contact. Isaki is choked up and at a loss for words for a second, knowing he promised not to mess up this pair of clothes.

"I'm sorry but I had to fight and they got messed up"

"Do you know how hard it is to sow your clothes up over and over again!"

Suzou winds her arm back before giving Isaki a firm and solid hit to the stomach making him hold back the urge of throwing up.  She breathes in and out for a little while before telling him to change and then come back to the "LTS care" room.

He walked to his room and stayed in there for a little while before walking back out. He's now wearing a black outfit that consists of black fitted pants, with a buttoned-up shirt and black boots. He leaves two buttons at the top unbuttoned to "breath better" as he says, he walks back to the "LTS care" room walks in, and sees Suzou.

"Hey Suzou, how is she?"

"The same as usual she keeps intaking Rai but she's not healing any of the injuries that keep her in the comatose state."

Isaki walks to the girl in the bed with a holographic sheet over her bed:

"Name: Hime Tenshi / Height:5'9 / Hair color: White / Age: 18 "

Isaki puts his hands on the rails of the bed that his younger sister lays on. He looks down at her with gentle eyes, examining her while making sure the covers were on her comfortably. Suzou sits there silently as this had become normal for him and her. They stay silent for a couple of minutes before Suzou gets up and walks out the door of the "LTS care" room.

Isaki follows after a small moment and they walk to a conference room. Before they enter the smell of smoke could be smelt and Isaki could already tell who it was; It's not like he had a problem with who it was he just didn't really like the smell of smoke. They walk into the room to see an easily 6'1 tall male with black hair and dark red eyes. He wore a black suit with a black suit coat hanging off his shoulders. His pants were black jeans however with slight rips around the knees; as Suzou and Isaki walk in the man's dark red eyes shift over to them while he takes the cigarette out his mouth and blows the smoke out.

"There you two are...What took you so long?"

"We checked on Isaki's sister and you're not supposed to be smoking in here-"

Suzou scrambles to try and make the man put out the cigarette but it's to no avail as he continues to puff smoke out at her. The man looks up at Isaki slightly with a calm face-

"Hey Isaki, how'd the recon go?"

"Hey Daiki, it went about how good it could but we can't get that territory back and even if we could I turned it into a crater-"

Daiki looks at Isaki for a moment before sighing and putting the cigarette out so that Suzou would stop her efforts. Isaki sits in a chair across from Daiki who had sat down after putting his cigarette in the trash, they both sat in front of Suzou who stood in front of a wall; Suzou then clapped her hands as the window seals shut leaving the room completely dark until a holographic screen appears behind her.

"Ok, so news to report-"

Suzou shifted uncomfortably knowing things most likely wouldn't get better if she was looking at the sheet correctly-

"Despite the size of this country, we are by far one of the poorest. Countries like North America are extremely advanced than us in technology- Not only that but we also have a lack of power. The truth is even if Isaki got that territory back it wouldn't have helped us much."

The room's atmosphere gets gloomy as these results have been the same for the past 3 years. They were in a rapid decline in power and authority if this continued Asia as a whole could be forgotten or taken over at almost any time. As the briefing continued Isaki saw bugs crawling around on the floor or through small cracks in the walls-

"Hey, don't we have people manage the status of the building every 4 hours? Why are there so many bugs?"

Isaki asked as he found it odd that bugs started to appear when they never came into the building he shrugs it off though as Suzou tells him that she'll have their case and clean the entire building again.

"Now onto the investigation stuff, The mass suicide of Yenna is still a mystery to us"

"What happened there?"

"The population count exceeded 3 million but one night they all committed suicide out of nowhere. We don't know why, when we last checked they had all been doing just fine maybe a couple of troublemakers but an entire city committing suicide at the same time... there something we're missing"

The only thing they could do was speculate about what could've happened and that nothing added up. They go over many other things before Suzou uncovers the windows and dismisses the holographic screen; after the briefing, no one really felt like they accomplished any real change, and this stuck with them as they walked.

Elsewhere...

An unidentified person is seen walking towards two big metallic doors silently. Upon entering the dark and almost damp room hard and struggling breathing could be heard.

"Master..I believe I've found a suitable vessel-"

"Where..."

A scratchy unmanaged voice pierces through the air having a bit of annoyance.

"Currently under surveillance at a headquarters, it will take us a while but we will get her"

A hellish dry laugh is heard before clapping, it seems the "Plan" is being made-
