As I sat down, my legs hanging off the edge of a big cliff, the wind brushing against my face, I breathe in, then out. I remember what happened here, the ruins of houses and buildings hanging off the side as well. That fateful night that would change everything forever.

I remember what happened a week ago...

"Hey, Amatsuki! Hurry up, it's dangerous to be out here!"

That's my friend, Cielianne. We were childhood friends since first grade. As we go back to Cierres, the biggest military city there currently is, and we meet up with our other friends in the big house at Clark Avenue.

"Hey, Amatsuki. Did you really go see the old ruins outside of the zone?" Asked Rick, who was 17 years old, he was the star quarterback in high school, plus he was the top of his class.

"It's worn down after a decade since the dark apocalypse happened." I reply.

"Man, I just hope that all this mess gets all sorted out, you know?" Said Claire, a rather cheeky 17 year old who went to the same high school as Rick.

"Anyways, I am thinking of just fighting in the front line." I say.

"Have you gone mental Amatsuki?!? Anyone who ever tried to fight off the demon hoard never made it back!" Rick said.

"I know. That's why I'll end it now." I say, walking into the hidden armory.

There was four suits of platinum reinforced armor. The two of us, Cielianne and I used to fight the hoard, but after the loss of Baltheim, we gave up fighting.

I dust off my armor, although there wasn't much to dust off, since it is a special holoarmor that can adjust to anyone. It honestly looks like the suits in the Tron movies also. My twin blades, made out of pure diamond, tinted light blue, sharp enough to shred anything into pieces. I stare at my helmet, remembering everything that happened. That fateful night when I almost died.

I take a deep breath, then I put on my helmet and head toward the gate.

"I'll go with you." Cielianne said.

"No. You'll have to stay here to look after Claire and Rick. Besides, I'll be fine." I say.

I look up at the sky and took a deep breath.

"Sometimes, you just can't change who you are." I say.

*out of flashback*

"Hey, Amasuki. Intel says a huge demon is headed for Cierres."

"Let's head out." I say, putting on my helmet.

---¥---Rick's POV---¥---

It's been a week since Amatsuki left to fight the hoard. On the news, the Scouts say that they found a pile of over ninety nine million demon corpses. Lately, Cielianne is worried about Amatsuki since. Geez, I wonder what's taking so long? But anyways, I'm on summer vacation. Man, if the demons were gone, everyone would be at the beach...

"EVACUATE! DEMONS HAVE BREACHED THE CITY!" Someone yelled.

When I got onto the roof, I can see a huge demon, a monster who stood 500 kilometers tall, gigantic wings, and face that looked like the devils own!

Then, in almost like an instant, the beast fell. How can a giant like that be defeated so easily? I pondered. I noticed there were six figures on top of the sides of the wall the monster broke through.

I hurry down the ladder, falling down in the process. I grabbed my telescope and hurry back up the ladder to see who the figures are.

As I looked through, all six of them wore the armor set Amatsuki had worn a week ago, but each one had their own tinted blue diamond weapons. One was Amatsuki, who had the twin blades, one had a Mage staff, one had a bow and arrow, one had a sword and shield, one had a katana, and the last one had a scythe.

Then, one of them made signs that I roughly translated: You three can stay here and finish whatever you need to do. Get back to base by night. Or Eat dirt, pathetic dip wads. Maybe the first one was correct.

One hour later, we heard a knock on the door. As I opened the door, one of the armored people asked,

"Are you by any chance Rick?"

"Uh, yeah, that's me." I reply.
