<<The Old London was destroyed.>>
<<A group of merchants from the Vigor town wanted to do some major business with the Old London... However, upon their arrival, they found nothing more than ruins.>>
<<The white burn marks covering the city, while some sort of "RED" abominations infesting the city.>>
<<The merchants managed to encounter and rescue some survivors from that city who told the entire story.>>
<<Out of nowhere in the middle of the day, a massive beam of white light swallowed up some part of the city, killing several people instantly.... And in the next moment, the roar.>>
<<A massive monster appeared, the Red monster.>>
<<Some people say that it resembles the creatures known as dragons from the legends.>>
<<...>>
<<And that monster went on the rampage.>>
<<It slaughtered anything near it.>>
<<The Old London forces tried stopping the monster... But they were no match for it.>>
<<Not only it, but countless Red monsters also appeared, hunting anybody down they could find.>>
<<It was pure slaughter.>>
<<Beast ravaged the city while the white flames purged life of anything that they had touched.>>
<<...>>
<<And in the matter of days, the entire Old London was destroyed.>>
<<The news spread like wild fire throughout the whole town, causing panic and despair to hit instantly.>>
<<...>>
<<And then came me.>>
<<The woman who came crushing down while being covered in white flames, and asking about Old London out of nowhere, right before the news reached the town.>>
<<And.... Well...>>
<<I didn’t really took those news too well.>>
<<I went on full out rampage. Straight up turning into berserker, trying to leave the hospital and try running.>>
<<Despair, anger and fear.... I pretty much lost my reasoning back then.>>
<<I straight up became animal back then, trying to leave the town.... The hospital staff wasn’t enough to hold me back.>>
<<They needed town military specialist to hold me down, just pile on top of me, before the hospital stuff were able to drug me and put me to sleep.>>
<<Honestly speaking, it shouldn’t had been possible for them to do that.>>
<<I should had been able to easily rip them apart in my blind rage back then.... But I think it was because of my injured state that they were able to even put up a fight.>>
<<Afterwords? I was locket in hospital for my own and everybody else good.... Obviously.... Well.... I cried....>>
<<I just cried.>>
<<My rage.... It lasted for more than a week.... Before I finally broke down and became.... "Quiet".>>
<<I was questioned.... And honestly.... I no longer seen any point in hiding it... No. I really had no mental strength to even think......>>
<<So I just told them everything that I knew.... About who I was.>>
<<What happened to me.... And what really had happened in the city.>>
<<I’ve told them about the crimes committed by the Old London in the name of destroying the New London.>>
<<And.... I’ve told them who was that "Dragon".>>
<<That he was once a men that I knew.... And that he was dead.>>
<<Reborn into that monstrosity.>>
<<Obviously.... They didn’t took my words very well...>>
<<The questioned me for days, about the details and what not.... Before then they finally stopped coming....>>
<<Honestly, I didn’t cared what happened.... No.>>
<<I’ve lost my will to live.>>
<<My.... My only desire that kept me in tact.... The thing that made me even go berserk back then? Rage.>>
<<I wanted to slaughter everybody in that research lab, in order to save not only my loved ones.... But the city itself.>>
<<But now?>>
<<THEY ALL WERE GONE!>>>
<<AND I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!>>
<<IF I HAD JUST RAN AWAY BACK THEN! IF I DIDN’T LET MYSELF GET DECEIVED BY THEM! I COULD HAD AT LEAST SAVED THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY!>>
<<BUT NO! I MADE THE WORST POSSIBLE DECISION!>>
<<I WAS THE ONE THAT KILLED THEM!>>
<<IT WAS MY FAULT!>>
<<...>>
<<I just broke.>>
<<That was it.>>
<<I just FUCKING broke.>>
<<I stayed locket in that room for days.... Never leaving it.>>
<<Just... Staring.... Blaming myself.... And crying.>>
<<I straight up lost my reasoning to even live.>>
<<As the days would go by, my body would somewhat start recovering... The pain would start fading.... But my skin? Hair? It was never regrowing.>>
<<By the looks of things I will be scared for all eternity.... And I’m fine with that.>>
"..."
"Miss Lucy." – said head nurse Elizabeth as she entered the room.
"It is time to bath...."
"..."
The head nurse approached the bed while lifeless Lucy was laying at.
The woman helped out Lucy in standing up and then taking off her bandages, cleaning up her still burned up body... Before then giving her set of new bandages.
"..."
"There." – said Elizabeth as she finished both cleaning and changing bandages for Lucy.
"..."
"Thanks......" – replied Lucy with extremely faint voice... While the light in her eyes was completely gone.
"...Miss..." – Elizabeth tried speaking... Only to in the next moment instantly stop upon seeing Lucy’s lifeless eyes.
(What do I even say to her?) – thought Elizabeth.
(I’ve heard her story.... And it is.... Beyond hopeless...)
(...I’ve seen people whose lights in their eyes went dull.... But she doesn’t even have anything right now in hers.)
(It is just pure darkness.... She is like nothing more than corpses right now.)
"..."
(I really don’t like putting people out of their misery, when there is still hope to save them.... But her?)
(Even if her body recovers, her mind would never-)
*&#(!*YU#*(Y
"!?" – Lucy suddenly lifted up her head.
"...Miss Lucy?" – said the head nurse as she noticed Lucy acting in weird manner... Slowly and nervously turning her head towards the window.
"..."
$&*!@(*@#
"..."
"No...." – said Lucy with the fear in her voice.
"No, no, no, NO!"- said Lucy as she started slowly getting up, which surprised and alarmed Elizabeth at the same time.
Lucy wobble got off her bed, almost falling on the ground after getting up.... Before then slowly walking towards the window where the night time was currently out.

*(#$U(!
"..."
"Shit." – said Lucy.
"This isn’t good...." – said Lucy as her hands were trembling.
"Miss Lucy?! Is everything alright?" – asked concerned woman.
"..."
"The Red Ones." – said Lucy.
"They coming towards the town."
"!"
"Wait... By Red Ones, you mean-"
"The monsters created by the Old London... They are coming here." – said Lucy, as she could feel the presence of the Red monsters, running towards the city from the distance.
(There are several of them coming here.... I can sense them....)
(But why are they here?!)
(The Old London is nowhere near this town!)
(Even if.... FUCK!)
(WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!) – thought Lucy as her mind which seemingly stopped moving has once again started functioning.... Upon encountering the "fear" once again.
And the moment the woman felt the fear.... And the monsters’ presence.... She could also imagine it.
The destruction.
"!"
"FUCK IT!" – shouted Lucy on top of her lungs as she straight up broke through the window.
"!?"
"Miss Lucy?!" – shouted panicking Elizabeth as she saw Lucy falling down on the ground from the third floor of the hospital.... Before then suddenly leaping high into the air and smashing right into one of the buildings rooftops, fallowed up with the woman just running on top of the building and then leaping from on top of the building to another.
<<I didn’t knew why I ran back then.... But at the same time, I knew.>>
<<I knew what could possibly happened if the Red Monsters were to attack this place....I knew that there was a possibility of this place becoming the second tragedy of the Old London.>>
<<My body moved before I even knew it.>>
<<I ran like non before.>>
<<I ran towards the source of these Red Monsters.>>
"...Hey.... What is that?" – asked the guard on top of the brick wall surrounding the town.
"?"
"What?" – said another guard as he something with extremely bright color in the distance.... Before spotting several other bright colored figures in the distance, alarming the man as he took out his binoculars.
(What the hell are these? Some mer-)
"..."
"Raise the alarm." – said the man with binoculars.
"?"
"What?" – asked confused guard.
"What are you-"
"RAISE THE FUCKING ALARM! NOW!" – shouted the guard with binoculars.
"The fucking monster they warned us about?! THE ONES THAT DESTORYED THE OLD LONDON?!"
"THEY ARE FUCKING HERE!" – shouted the panicking guard as the group of Red monsters were running towards the town.
(Fuck! This isn’t good! What the hell are these?!) – thought the man as the skies somewhat cleared up, unleashing a moon light that brighten up area.
"!?"
"Wait.... Humans?!" – said the man with binoculars, as he could spot two human like creatures... Or more exactly, humans who had half of their bodies mutated so much that they could no longer be called humans.
(Are they.... Are they really people?!) – thought the terrified man, as he saw a massive red monstrosity made out of several tentacles and maws, leading the group of red monsters as they charged towards the town.
(Shit.... If those things were really behind the Old London destruction... Then how are we supposed to defend against them?!)
(Our town military force is just minimal, since this was peaceful area from the start.)
(What do we do?)
(Do we just evacuate the people?)
(But can we even do that?)
(....No... Those things will chase them down.)
(Then.... The only way is to-)
However, before the guard could organize his thoughts, he saw Lucy, leaping right above him... No.
Above the entire wall, before then landing outside.
(I won’t let you!) – thought Lucy as she ran at full speed towards the Red monsters.
(I WON’T LET YOU DESTORY ANY MORE LIVES!)
(NOT THIS!)
