the begging of the countdown

May 1st, 2023 morning the sky was as cloudy as the sea itself the environment was permeated by fog.

<>>

All I had to do was keep the promise it was supposed to be simple how could I’ve failed so hard?

I looked up to the bloodied sky to see its appearance staring down at my broken and heartbroken form. All of the planet was in absolute ruin all that surrounded me was bodies and rubble and the smell of smoke and decomposition.

“FUUCK YOU BASTARDDDD!!!” I yell out my frustration as my fist hit the ground at breakneck speed literally atomizing it. this thing has been behind every major pain in my life up to this point that and ??? has caused the most shit.

I thought that I understood That nothing lasted forever. That something being finite meant that its end could come at any time.

But the loss came too early ever since I discovered the nature of my… its eyes pierced my soul immediately scaring me to my very core something was very off about it like it was watching me with great disdain and disgust like I had disappointed in a major way.

“AAAAAAAAAH” I woke up with a scarce I could barely remember the nightmare that set me off my mutated glew with power I could almost see another plane stacked upon- . I was stopped, my father

“You good” it was my dad who greeted me at my door I usually never catch him before he heads off for work,

“Yeah just a little nightmare nothing too serious”

“Alright, I’ll take your word on that see ya when I get home, and DON'T SKIP” damn I just got a text from Chole warning that our parents knew a day ago she never did respond so I thought she was bluffing apparently not.

As soon as descended the stairs “Another body has been found” The female news reporter reported on the serial murders that this town has experiencing for the past week i need to find a way to stop them eventually .

I skip past the dining room and head straight for the door my mother did take notice of that fact.

"Why are you skipping breakfast? Kloud you usually never skip it." My mother was a little bit worried. It seems like the recent murder got her maternal instincts on a bit of a high note. I wasn't hungry that morning as part of my enhanced body requires less than it did before.

"I'm not hungry" I genuinely wasn't hungry I wanted to get up and go.

"See ya when I get home" and with that, I closed the door and started up my short journey to the bus stop. I walked up to the good old bus stop early in the morning only to see a familiar face and the blue hair she carried that I hadn't seen all week.

"Chole how was your week off," I said with a sarcastic tone I wasn't expecting much more than the usual hanging around friends and staying home and doing nothing.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"It was actually shit I had a migraine and some blackouts thought I had a brain tumor. Turns out I was actually stressed or something" My eyes widened in surprise. I didn't expect such a shit week.

"Holy shit I thought you just decided to drop out finally most you've ever gone was like 3 days Christ"

"Nah actually a medical emergency oh yeah he showed up" my mouth hinged open I wanted to speak more on it but it was apparent Chloe didn't want to expand on it which was understandable.

Chole quickly looked down at her phone "The bus is running real late". That was to be expected. Our school was in an absolute hellhole that no one ever wanted to touch.

"Damn," Why the hell is that this month decided to be the worst month in my life Christ on a trike.

……

A man, if the thing's crude disguise would even pass as one from a distance, had just destroyed a parking meter.

A plainclothes officer quickly ran up to the beast not knowing of its true nature."Hey you over there stop right there you've destroyed public property wha-" he was quickly stunned by the beast's appearance his unnatural grey skin the rugged clothes and unsettling red eyes that stared into the very man’s soul.

"Y-Y-YOUR UNDER ARREST DON'T RESIST" he quickly drew his service weapon only for it to be ineffective in its purpose. A female voice from far away called out to the beast "Kill him there isn't anyone around" She ordered the officer's death.

The weapon was crushed in an instant in the thing's hand. It used its left to grab the officer's throat and hoisted him up in the air.

"GROAGGH-Acheck-W-Wa-Wait please don't" his bones felt like they were slowly being cracked.

SNAP and just like that the good policeman was dead but it wasn't over yet this thing had quite the like for brutalization. CRACK-SQUUISH-CRAACK fist after fist kick after kick berated the corpse leaving it a bloody mess of bones and organs.

“We have to go now” The woman step out into the light of day revealing her long black hair it was a black as the night sky, and her body was of the petite type because of this her frame made her look frail.

“But boss” the black-haired woman looks pissed off she didn't want to waste any time in the broad daylight despite her obvious will to cause chaos they also had to keep the other side secret from the general public.

“No buts we must prepare for May 5th once we're done with the brat we’re going to have to find a way to fix the continuum in time for-” She had sensed something off and immediately grabbed her subordinate and the not-so-intact corpse and then ran off into a random district.

“It wasn't going to show up on time anyway we’d get to school faster if we took this route” It was Chole who was walking down the street with a certain red-haired girl who got into a conflict with a certain dumb brute.

“Dude we’re going to get stopped by authorities sooner or later” They both got involved with shady shit at some point getting identified was a certainty so they would have to hurry their way to school before anything happens.

“Wait wait before we rush off to that shitty school there is something not right” Her Haruna instincts were on high alert something was not right.

“Nope do not have the time for your gut feelings if there’s something wrong how about we run”kloud was not having it unlike Chole whose parent was relatively laid back hers were not she was lucky all she got was a strict don't skip.

“Alright alright” Unlike Chole V2 she wasn't a brave warrior who could probably run any creature in the night.

The sounds of running feet signaled that they could go out in the open once more a basetree awaking is devastating for whoever starts it. The family was truly a force to be reckoned with and mostly everyone understood that.

She whispered out a complaint “Why did this mission have to be so stressful and with the boss treating every single move like if i dont follow the very universe would fucking die in a heat death”
