Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The Great Fall

Over 100 years ago the world was ruled by the LOST gene. People who had the LOST gene had unimaginable and extraordinary powers. Abraxsus Claude was at the top of the war. The bounty on his head was about as much as the net worth of the United States. but there was one who man ended the war between humanity and the LOST. Strangely no one knows who caught Abraxsus, no one saw his face. All they saw was a greenish- blue hue shining in the distance. Abraxsus was executed the day after his arrest. The government saw how dangerous and destructive the LOST gene was, so he created a quarantined island where only people with the LOST gene could enter, a place where the outside world could not contact, see, or even hear about. It was like the people who were quarantined on the island, were ghost to the rest of the world. Strangely the gene was found to be only developed in males. But, their powers wouldn't develop until they reached adolescence. It was then decreed that any male over 16 with the LOST gene are to be emigrated to the island.

"Kasai ! Kasai ! Kasai!", The alarm clock screamed cheerfully as it reached 5:15am. Kasai turned over angrily and smacked the cutesy darling clock off his dresser and cursed his friend Nanaji for getting him that clock for his birthday, even though he specifically asked him not to get it for him. "That idiot." He said in a brooding tone. He got out of bed, threw on his regular workout outfit, grabbed his duffel bag with his school uniform and preceded to head to the gym two blocks away from his dorm house. Nanaji was already waiting for him outside his dorm house. "Hey! Kasai, so what did I tell you, the clock is good right!" Nanaji said with a cocky grin. Kasai walked past him rolling his eyes. "Come on man, don't be like that." Nanaji said putting his arm around Kasai's shoulder. Kasai immediately elbowed him in the ribs. Nanaji laid there clutching his side groaning in pain. "Hmmm, surprisingly I'm in a better mood" Kasai said smiling coldly as he left Nanaji behind.

They both made it to the gym just as soon as it opened. Nanaji followed behind Kasai reprimanding him for being a bad friend. "Your such a prick, Why did you do that!" He said while trying to punch him. Kasai just nonchalantly dodges every single one not even looking behind him, until he sees a bright orange light emit from Nanaji, he's turns around on high alert. "Nanaji, what are you doing?", Kasai says looking at him focused as a lion. "No use in having powers if you can't use them!", Nanaji says jokingly. "This isn't fair and you know it" Kasai says while getting in his fight stance. "Life isn't fair buddy." Nanaji says as he charges forward ready to get payback. Just as Nanaji pulls his fist back ready to punch, Kasai grabs his arm and drops him on his back. Nanaji lays there in silence, but he wasn't surprised that he was defeated. "Ya know, for a guy who hasn't developed an ability yet, your pretty strong!" Nanaji said laughing hysterically. "Idiot." Kasai said as he continued to walk. He looked back at Nanaji and smiled. "Come on, were gonna be late for class." He said while helping him up to his feet.

Kasai and Nanaji made it to class early so they were the first one's in the classroom. "First in class again I see!" Kasai and Nanaji heard a voice from the door. "Ah, Lieutenant katalina!",Nanaji said standing up from his seat. "What are you guys doing here so early, Hikaru-sensei won't be here till 6." Katalina said looking at them puzzled. "I guess Kasai didn't feel like getting into another morning brawl with the idiots in class 3-A." Nanaji said elbowing Kasai on the shoulder. "It wouldn't be much of I fight, I always kick their butts." Kasai said smugly. "Wow, you're so humble." Katalina said sarcastically. Just as she says that Hikaru-sensei enters the classroom. "What are you brats doing hear so early." Hikaru-sensei says placing papers on his desk. "Good morning too you to Hikaru-sensei." Nanaji says. The rest of the class starts to enter the classroom. "Welp, that's my cue to go, I gotta start my morning rounds, I'll leave you gentlemen to your shenanigans." Katalina says as she leaves the classroom. "See Kasai, you don't need to feel lonely, your not the only one who doesn't have an ability!" Kasai and Nanaji heard a voice say in front of the class. It was Takeo, one of the idiots from class 3-A. 'Pretty sure they were talking about Katalina, seeing as she was the only girl on the Island, she didn't have the LOST gene, she was acting as lieutenant to the headmaster of the island since the previous passed away.' Kasai thought to himself. "TAKEO!, GO TO CLASS!," Hikaru-sensei's voice echoed throughout the hallway. Takeo ran away hearing his foreboding voice rattle his bones.

The school day had ended and all the students were heading back to their homes and dorm rooms, though a few stayed behind. "Go on without me Nanaji I'm not heading back to the dorms any time soon." Kasai said while getting his bag together. "Training with Katalina again?", Nanaji said while raising his eyebrows. "Gross, you know she's like twice my age." Kasai said just as he was about to leave the classroom, a student from class 1-B came running down the hall. "KYLE!, no running in the halls!", Hikaru-sensei reminded him. "Sorry sensei, I just heard some very exciting news!" Kyle said trying to catch his breath. "Exciting news! Spill it !" Nanaji said now interested in this new. Kasai however couldn't care less and started to walk out the class. "Another pod showed up at the harbor, we might be getting a new student!" Kyle said eagerly. It had been months since another person showed up on the island. Kasai stopped in his tracks hearing this news, 'Another pod huh?, hopefully this guy will survive this island better than me.'
