--29 September--2018--
A young boy awakened to the smell of cooking food, his name was Damaku. He was a tall boy with black hair and white eyes, his skin was pale and he was very skinny. He rolled out of the animal pelt that was his bed. He looked about his room, light was shining through the rotting walls as he stood up started walking towards the door.
Outside was his brother, Shoru. Shoru was short and slightly muscular he had dark brown hair and green eyes. He was cooking a small animal over a fire.
"Hey, I caught breakfast. I know it's not much but at least it's something. Sleep well?" Shoru smiled at Damaku warmly.
"Sigh, when will you take me hunting with you..?" Damaku complained.
The two boys were the same age: 8. They had no parents, no money and no rules. They had to hunt to survive. Any other child would have died long ago but there was something special about Shoru. He couldn't sustain an injury. He had been protecting Damaku for some time as he didn't share this ability. He first discovered this ability when he was attacked by a wild wolf. It had tried to bite Shorus arm but all of its teeth shattered upon contact.
One day Shoru made a grave mistake, to test his power. He had found a long metal pole and stood on the roof of his house during a storm.
He waited patiently as he prepared for lightning to strike him.

CRACK!
The lightning struck him with tremendous force, voltage flowing through his body.
His body began to absorb the lightning.
With a pained scream an electromagnetic pulse rippled around the area, stretching for miles.
——UDPR base 06——
"Uh..sir, you may wanna see this" a concerned man at a computer waves over to his boss.
The boss was a well-decorated military commander. He stared into the screen intently, "an electromagnetic pulse?" He muttered.
"Get me a squad and a car, ASAP. I wanna be there by sunrise." he yelled.
The next day, things would change. Forever.
Three large vehicles pulled up outside of the brothers house. Twelve armed soldiers and their commander set up a perimeter around the house, keeping a close watch for movement.
Shoru strolled out of the house, fearlessly. He looked the commander dead in the eyes.
"You the one that caused that EMP blast yesterday?" He asked.
"So what if I was?" Spat Shoru.
"You're coming with me." The commander nodded for two of the soldiers to grab Hiyak. One man for each arm. They begin loading him into the back of one of the vehicles.
"What are you doing to my brother?" A sleepy and timid Damaku asks.
Silence befell the area before the crack of gunfire broke it.
Damaku felt a warm sensation spread over his chest, he looked down to see himself stained red. He exhaled all the spare air in his lungs and fell to the floor.
Nobody truly knows what happened that day.
A large explosion was heard by a majority of the surrounding city's and towns, a few of them even saw it. Anyone who saw it described it as "A brilliant white light filling the sky with death". When the site was explored there was 12 people's worth of shredded corpses, 2 charred vehicles and a small boy laying unconscious in a crater.
