7th of October. It was a normal day for most. The air in Charlotte city was peacful as usual. Some crime was happening, but that is minor and usual.
If one had to name something special about today, it would be the attack that Saint Florence academy experienced a few hours ago.
However something incredibly surreal is happening at the moment. The citizens of Charlotte are experiencing an extreme drop in temperature.
A massive blue hue is coming from a certain part of the city. That blue hue seems to reach the clouds in the sky and it is the source of the cold temperature.
The warm autumn climate of 15° C, is being replaced by an apocaliptic -162° C. However what is even crazier is that the temperature seems to be getting even colder!
The whole city is in panic, as the wave of extreme cold travels further from it's source.
The people in the city rush inside to seek warmth, as they are dressed lightly. But not everyone gets inside in time.
The plummeting temperature isn't the biggest problem for them. The biggest problem is that the cold air is constantly moving outwards from the blue light, making it windy. The worst part is that the more the temperature plummets, the windier it becomes. Clouds are forming in the sky, turning darker and darker.
Within 5 minutes, a full blown glacial storm is formed in the city. The temperature outside reaches under -200° C, with hurricane winds.
The people who didn't manage to find cover have lost all feeling in their extremities and are experiencing severe degrees of frostbite. They are no longer capable of moving much and will die within 5-10 minutes of hyperthermia, if no one helps them.
The people who have managed to take shelter inside are faring much better. But due to the sudden and significant drop in temperature, most of the windows around the city have craked. So even they are struggling to stay warm.
-Meanwhile with Artoria-
Afrer she lost control of her emotions, her ice power started to act up. It started to gush out on it's own without any sign of stopping.
Artoria tried her best to regain control, but she couldn't. This made her panic and ironically, her power started to act out even more, due to it.
Soon she started to emit a cold, blue light. All of this kept growing and growing, until the whole city became affected.
If the temperatures in the city are under -200° C then in the vicinity around her, they reach almost absolute zero.
The Deas around her and everyone within a few hundred meters have already died, due to the constant pulses of flash freezing she keeps sending out.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH." Artoria screams and writhes around the floor. This is the first time her power is hurting her as well. She is feeling pain all over her body.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH." The ice seems to respond to her screams as it intencifies more and more. The laws of physics start to break down, as the temperature keeps inching closer to absolute zero.
While that is happening on the outside, inside Artoria is feeling like she's getting torn apart.
She doesn't hear it, but she recieves a message from the system.
[Subject Artoria Lucifer requesting permission...]
[Permission granted. Beginning metamorphosis.]
"AAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHHH." Artorias skin, hair, eyes, nails, everything turns light blue. Her whole body looks like glacial ice.
-271°
-272°
-273°
Absolute zero.
An absolutely surreal thing happenes. The warehouse that she's in, including the ground beneath it, bends like rubber and forms a cocoon around Artoria.
The ground, the warehouse and everything in it, blends together with ice, as if someone is mixing some sort of drink together.
The apocaliptic glacial storm outside is reaching it's peak. The hurricane winds are wrecking the city and delivering the extremely cold temperatures with haste. It's raining icicles the size of human arms and legs. The people inside are no longer safe, as the elements destroy their shelter. Steadily the losses of lives are piling up.
A city wide cyclone is forming, with the centre point being the huge cocoon, that Artoria is in. The cocoon is surrounded by some sort of glowing blue aura, that illuminates the dark city, like a moon in a stormy winter night.
....
....
In a pitch black room, some suspicious noises are heard.
*Sniff* *Sniff* *Sniff* "Uehehehehehehehe. Lucy~"
*Sniff* *Sniff*
*Bang* The door is kicked open violently and and a curvy woman with black hair and green eyes walks in.
"Ara, ara. So you were indulging yourself this whole time, Victoria~." The mystery woman speaks.
Victoria looks horrified. Like her biggest shame was just discovered. She quickly hides the spandex boxers in her hand and stands up with a blank face.
*Kehum* *Kehum* "What is the problem Delia?" Victoria asks professionally, as if nothing happened.
Delia stares at her for a few seconds, but decides to move on. "A problematic situation has occurred. It seems the whole city has been frozen..." Delia explains, but gets a bit confused on how to explain the situation.
"It's better for you to see it for yourself." Delia says and walks out of the room.
Victoria as a woman who has experienced numerous adversities in her life, calmly analizes Delias speech and is confused. However she doesn't show it and decides to confirm the situation.
She calmly walks out of the room, with an expressionless face. It seems to be chilly for some odd reason. When she reaches her apartments living room, she finally sees outside.
"WHAT THE FUCK!!" She screams and runs to the window.
A ridiculous storm is wrecking massive havoc outside. The city is dark, even though it's a few hours before sunset. Massive dark clouds are ominously rotating above the city. Incredible amounts of hail and snow is raining down. Some kind of blue hue is illuminating the city. The hue seems to be coming from the distance.
Seeing that Victoria has finally understood the situation, Delia nods her head in satisfaction and crosses her arms under her massive bosom. "This building is only standing probably due to the obscene amounts of money pumped into it. But as you can see, all hell has broken loose outside." She says.
"Uaaagh! I don't want to deal with this shit on my day off!!!!" Victoria grabs her head and tousles her hair crazily. Her professional appearance is gone like an illusion. She looks like some sort of neurotic crazy bitch right now. Her eyes have an insane glint in them and her face is crumpled up so badly that she could scare little kids to death.
Delia frowns when she sees how Victoria is acting. She considers whether to kick Victoria or not. She doesn't want to deal with this shit either!!! This is exactly why she located Victoria. She hoped to throw all the responsibility on her!
Victoria finally lets out a huge sigh and slumps down.
"Is Artoria here?" She finally asks.
"No. I tried calling her, but she isn't responding." Delia informs.
"Tch. Alright help me call everyone to the base." Victoria clicks her tongue and stands up.
- In another part of town-
Eleanor is enjoing her day off and drinking in an underground bar. She has already drunk about 4 bottles of vodka and is getting very drunk.
All of a sudden, the TV that she was watching goes blank and the lights start to flicker.
"Bljat, barman fix the TV." She yells and throws the glass behind the bar, almost hitting the poor man.
"R-right away miss." The bartender squeals.
"Hmm?" Eleanor senses a vibration in her pants and sticks her hand into it, to fish out a phone.
"Victoria? What is wrong?" She asks in her characteristic thick Russian accent.
"This is my free day. Why I have to come?" Eleanor asks and takes a swig from her new bottle.
"That woman is weird." She complains, then drinks a bit, then stands up and swerves. She stumbles to the exit and starts climbing up the stairs. The climb is hard and long, but eventually Eleanor reaches the door outside.
She opens it and is greeted with super cold winds in her face.
"PIZDETS!!!" She screams and quickly shuts the door again.
Her eyes are wide open and she looks to be both amazed and suprised.
"Haah. Now I see why Victoria wants me back." Eleanor sighs and gets angry. "Why is bullshit happening today!?"
She kicks the wall a bunch of times, making the building tremble and a big, foot sized hole in the wall.
Then she kicks open the door and runs out, while yelling "Tvaja baba šluha!"
