*CRASH*
You slam into the concrete pavement with a hard crash, your head is bleeding but strangely you’re okay. You lean up and groan as you wipe the blood from your fore head.
“Ow that really hurt” you groan before the mechanical monstrosity takes another shot at you, only this time before it can, you manage to get to your feet and run away. ‘Got to run, got to run, got to run’ over and over again your mind screamed at you to run away, escape, get the hell out of there, ext… but every where you turned more of those same machines appeared to block your path. Soon you are surrounded and there is no longer a way for you to escape!
“No! I don’t want to die! Leave me alone” you scream, shielding yourself with your arms as the machines charge at you.
…
Nothing happens and the sudden sound of metal clashing against metal pierces your ears, causing you to flash your eyes open. To your surprise you were surrounded, not by machines, but humans… well human like beings called Homs, the only real difference between humans and homs is that homs require Ether which is an abundant resource in this world. There were three of them, all of them you recognized but right now you couldn’t really place where you remembered them from.
“Are you okay?” the female hom asked who was garbed in a strange outfit that looked unsuited for even a small fight, let alone the all out war that was going on at this very moment. You nod and lower your guard, noticing a faint urge that begins to tug at the back of your brain, however you ignore it as another hom speaks, this one, garbed in red and had blond hair and carried a strange sword that looked like it was made from scrap metal.
“Hurry up and get to safety” the blond hom explains and you nod, covering your head as you runaway towards what was known as the Residential District, which would soon be the key location of a very critical and horrible event.
You dart past the machine entities known as Mechon and dart for a house, narrowly avoiding a blast from a huge mechon that flew by that resembled something like a black jet if it was on steroids and left a slim trace of blue fire as it flew through the air, as you roll inside.
“Whoa that can’t be…Metal Face?” you gasp in astonishment as your memory finally has a chance to returns to you which is when you realize “I’m in Colony 9! Which means this is the Residential District!” You slightly open the door and that’s all the reminder you needed. Yep this was indeed Colony 9 from that Xenoblade game you picked up a few days ago. How and why you were here came to mind but that was quickly overshadowed by this strange urge that you had noticed before but no it clearly was noticeable. It was like something was pulling at your hair but without the pain, just the sensation made you feel a bit freaked out. However the second Metal Face came whizzing by you immediately slammed the door shut.
“Phew that was close” you sigh before suddenly hearing a loud crash outside the door, you look outside just in time to see Metal Face pick up a strange robot vehicle, this vehicle looked very different from the green and black mechon, for one it was all one color, a pale grey and for two, someone was in it!
“Ah” you hear a familiar scream pierce your ears as Metal Face throws the mech in your directions causing you to barrel out of the house and into a nearby alleyway. Metal face looks back and begins walking over towards the mech which is when you realize what was about to happen. You may have only been playing this game for a good five hours and only about an hour of those five hours were story related but you knew what was going to happen.
‘Fiora’s gonna die and I can’t do anything about it! Ah! And this annoying urge isn’t helping!’ you watch as Metal Face draws closer and closer towards the unconscious Fiora in the damaged mech. ‘Only a 5 yards away! Only 5 yards away before Metal Face kills Fiora!’
“Gah! What the heck is wrong with me? It’s like this urge is trying to take me over. Gah” you grip your head but the urge doesn’t go away. You look back up as Metal Face as Metal Face closes the gap between him and Fiora.
“SCREW IT” you scream bolting forward, unaware as your body begins to turn into liquid. You didn’t care rather you wouldn’t because all that mattered right now was saving Fiora!
You shoot forward just as you arrive at the cockpit and dive into Fiora’s mouth, fully liquefied, as Metal Face weaves back his arms back ready to land the killing blow. You quickly flash your new eyes open, finding you are now Fiora for some strange reason but just as you look up Metal Face stabs you with his massive claws.
You let out an ear splitting scream as the pain shoots through your body, like a thousand hypodermic needles piercing every one of your nerves at once. You look down for a moment and see as a river of blood pours out of you and onto Metal face’s claws.
You can almost hear the metal monstrosity laugh as it pulls its claw free and casts you aside like a piece of garbage, which is when you black out.
You felt cold, colder than you’ve ever felt before, even colder than that time when you were locked outside your house in the middle of a blizzard. You felt like you were dying and couldn’t help but scream which is when you flashed your eyes open to see that you were surrounded by darkness. Panic struck you like a ton of bricks and you began to thrash around only to find you were confined! Stuck in the dark and confined to only a small amount of room you begin to sweat and gasp for breath. Claustrophobia was setting in and you knew it. You scream out for help but no one arrives.
‘Is this really how I’m gonna die? Stuck in this darkness, confined to die like a corpse?’
“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die here” you scream at the top of your lungs thrashing around, punching forward in a fruitless attempt to get out.
“Come on!” you scream punching forward, breaking your hand against the solid wall of darkness before you! “Come on! Let me out” you scream once again punching your fist. You hear the sound of a muffled cracking but it is canceled out by your screams as you continue to thrash around until suddenly you feel something, something wet, had fallen on your face. You touch it and then more of the strange wet matter began to fall onto your face. You quickly punch forward with your good hand and hear a loud creaking before suddenly…
“FREEDOM” you scream breaking free of your prison, gasping for breath as mud covers your wounded body before then being washed away by the heavy rain. You stay there for a moments, allowing your senses to return to you as the mud covers your lower body. You stand up and let the rain wash the mud from your clothing until the only mud left on you was the mud that had gotten really deep your clothing.
“I need to change before I get sick” you say to no one in particular as you climb out of the now muddy coffin and onto the somewhat solid ground. You look around but the rain makes it hard to see but you notice a strange light several feet away, a lantern perhaps? You decide to walk towards it only to find that your body felt numb and you were in quite a bit of pain. You collapse a feet steps later, smashing head first into the mud.
A low groan escapes you as you crawl to your feet, your body aching so much that it makes every step feel like you were an old (wo)man. However somehow you managed to make it and found that the light was only that of a lamp post. You let out a clear groan of pain as you slump back to the ground, your back against the metal pole.
“What do I do now” you ask yourself silently as the rain continues to pelt you with its bitter cold water and wind. Just then you hear the sound of footsteps and quickly see a shadowy figure pass you by. You were about to continue sulking when you notice that of a large black cloth on the ground, a blanket perhaps? Regardless you decided to wrap yourself with the blanket and find some shelter. You soon found refuge under a nearby open air shop whose roof helped keep the water off you and the blanket, although a bit soaked, helped keep the wind off you.
You felt tired and decided to rest, today had been very strange and weird day but at least now you were safe and could catch some Z’s.
You lye your head against a wooden shelf and pass out...
