15 years ago...
A young girl is sitting in her soft, red bed, crying, as a drawing book depicting a happy family sits next to her. Suddenly, an angry yell is heard downstairs,
"Courtney, you get down here now!", a deep, angry voice calls for her, as the young girl flinches in fear.
The girl then gets up, as she walks out of her room, she passes by her father's room, where a shelf of trophies and medals are kept on a shelf.
"I said GET DOWN HERE, YOU BITCH!", the man continues to shout, the girl flinches again, as she continues down the hall towards the stairs.
As she takes the steps down, she watches as the man, who is her father, is sitting on his couch as usual, surrounded by half-naked or fully naked prostitutes as they please him. He sits there not even seeming to care, as he smokes a cigar while holding a glass of wine in the other. The man then turns to his daughter on the stairs, before sighing deeply, he clicks his tongue in disappointment, he then whistles to her, continuing to call her down. The girl quickly gets down the stairs to her father, as she stands before him on his couch as the women surround him, he then shoves aside the woman who is currently on top of him, as he zips up his pants and stands up, towering over the young girl. The girl then stands there in her father's intimidating presence, as she prepares for the worst, then it happened... The man hit her, as she falls to the ground, about to burst into tears, as the father continues to scream at her and beat her, kicking her until she vomited, as the then leaves and grabs another bottle of wine from his kitchen,
"God, I wish I knew that condom was fucking broken...", the man complains to himself angrily as he gulps down a whole bottle of wine.
One of the women was kind enough to help her up, however, this angered the man, as he quickly killed her, launching a ball of lava straight to her face, causing her to scream in pain as her face melted to death. The young girl had to watch this happen, every day...
"That'll teach ya...", the father said, as he took a big gulp from another bottle of wine,
"No one touches my daughter, except me!", he yelled at the girls, causing them to run off before anything can happen to them,
"Hey, where do you all think you're going!?", he yells at the girls as they escape, he tries to chase them but just stops, as he throws a little tantrum. The man has a severe crash out, throwing furniture and decorations, as he then turns to his daughter, putting on an evil smile as he then walks over to her, the girl still hurt and petrified after what just happened. The man then unzips his pants as he commands her,
"Those bitches are gone, you'll have to do...", he says as he picks up the terrified young girl, as he prepares to do horrible, horrible things...
A few hours later...
The girl is seen in the kitchen, exhausted, bleeding everywhere as she's forced to sweep the house, wash the dishes and other various chores, as the man seems to be asleep on his couch.
After another hour, the girl walks up to her room, still trembling, as she falls onto her bed, immediately sobbing into her pillow as she does. Her bed is once again stained with her blood, as it does everyday, leading to its red color now.
After a few minutes, the girl lay in bed thinking,
"What if... I run away?", she thought to herself, but shook her head,
"N-no... Father will be extremely angry at me...", she thought to herself again, as she played with her fingers.
She then looked in the mirror of her closet, as she stared at her tainted dress, her scars and injuries, as she felt herself begin to cry once again. She sobbed, and sobbed, and sobbed, as she fell onto her bed once again,
"SHUT UP! I CAN HEAR YOU FROM DOWN HERE!", the father yelled at her before going back to sleep, causing her to flinch and yelp in fear.
Soon, the girl took a deep breath, before finally deciding,
"T-that's it... I'll do it, I'll run away!", she said to herself, motivated to finally escape this hell of a life.
The girl then began to pack her things, as she looked in the mirror one more time, taking a deep breath and sighing, as she then sneaked out of the window, climbing down from the second floor quietly and safely. When she landed on the soft grass below, she looked back and around at the world around her,
"Woah... So this is, outside?", she says to herself, as she looks around at the grass, the trees, the skies and the clouds, and the bright, white sun, causing her to be blinded a bit.
She then took her first step outside, as she felt her heart beat faster, she felt... happy.
She then looked back at the house one more time, before taking a deep breath, and running away, she kept running away, as fast as she could, as far as she could, as for the first time in years, she felt a genuine smile on her face. She laughed, she giggled in joy, as she watched the scenery around her.
After a few hours, the sun started setting, as she rested under a tree. Exhausted, she breathed heavily as she quickly fell flat on the grassy floor under the tree,
"Wow... The outside is really fun!", she says to herself as she feels her eyes getting heavy, as she slowly falls asleep...
The next day, she continued walking, as she pulled out a book that basically teaches basic knowledge about the world.
"So... I need to find a city, and... A job?", she wonders to herself, letting her guard down as she accidentally falls into a stream of water, causing her to get wet.
She then decided to keep walking, despite feeling super cold,
"S-s-so.... The city...", she continued to think to herself, as she continued walking.
Many days passed, the young girl kept walking through forests and grasslands, still wearing the same dress, eating any fruit and berry she could find, and luckily, she didn't encounter anything dangerous throughout the wilds. She continued living the same life for days, freezing in the night and burning in the day, as she started getting sick, her body started getting weaker and weaker as she continued.
One day, she was walking once more, her body overheating due to a fever, and her body shivering at the same time due to her tattered dress and the cold night, her vision blurry and her head always dizzy, it was a nightmare, yet she kept pushing,
"C-city... Must find city...", she thinks to herself once more as she keeps walking, she continues motivating herself, despite being in a deathly condition, until eventually, her body couldn't take it anymore, and she fell flat onto the ground...
Soon, she wakes up in a white room, as a bright light wakes flashes her as soon as she wakes up,
"W-what... Where is this... Am I dead?", she says to herself, when suddenly,
"Oh my god, she's alive!", someone says, when a nurse comes to her side and greets her,
"Hey, little girl! Good morning, how are you doing? Are you alright? What happened?", the nurse asks her multiple questions, as the girl seems to be confused, wondering what's going on,
"Are we... Am I in the city?", she asks the nurse, as the nurse smiles at her and caresses her cheek,
"Don't worry little girl, you're in an even better place...", the nurse says, before getting up and exiting the room, "I'm going to go get a doctor, okay? Stay here", the nurse tells her, as she shuts the door.
The girl continues to lay there on the hospital bed, confused as to what's even going on. She then decides to get up, as she lands on the floor, she feels an extreme pain, but she pushes through it.
She exits the room, looking around to see if anyone's there, as she then sneaks out of the building. She manages to sneak past all the people, doctors, staff and nurses there, as she manages to escape the building scot-free. She then looks back at the building to see it's a...
"H-hospital...", she reads out loud, before shrugging it off as she leaves, "It smelled bad in there...", she commented one more time before walking away.
The girl kept walking, before she finally reached... Bright lights flash everywhere!, busy streets filled with fancy cars, fancy people and... Billboards!
"C-c-city!", the girl said as she looked around in amazement, her eyes glittering as her eyes went looking everywhere.
She then walked around, exploring as much of the city as she could, having as much fun as possible as well. Soon, she felt her stomach grumble,
"Oh, I'm hungry...", she says to herself, as she looks around and finds a store.
She then enters the store, as she then grabs some food and starts eating, when suddenly,
"Hey, kid! You're supposed to pay for that, y'know!", a store clerk calls her out, causing her to be scared and run off, as she quickly gets out of the store,
"Hey! Guards, get her!", the store clerk calls for some guards, as they begin chasing after her.
The girl kept running while the guards chased her, with the girl getting the upper hand with her small size, she then entered an alleyway, with many obstacles that only she can get through, allowing her to escape the guards.
She then fell flat on the ground, as she's exhausted from the chase. She then rested, as she took a break and began eating the food that she stole, she then began crying, as she's never eaten this type of food before, which is basically just a bag of chips by the way, as she chows all of it down.
She soon finishes a few bags, before gushing it all down with some soda, she then once again falls flat on the ground as she rests, she stares out into the night sky as she lays there,
"Wow... The city is super fun! Unlike...", she says to herself, as memories of her house suddenly flows back into her head, as she quickly shakes it away,
"N-no... That's not my life anymore... Father is nothing to me...", she says to herself, as she then curls up on the ground, before she starts to cry again,
"M-mother... I want my mother... I miss my...", she says to herself as she sobs, laying down on the cold, flat, concrete ground, crying herself to sleep...
A scene then plays of a man making love to a woman, soon, the woman realizes she's pregnant, but when she went to spread the news, the man had already left her, leaving her with the child. At first, the woman planned on aborting it, but she decided just not to, so she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and loved her with all her heart, "I'm gonna name you... Courtney", the mother said as she held the baby in her arms. The mother continued to take care of her until she turned 5, when one day, the woman took her to the man's house, where she was greeted with a look of despair, as the man is already pleasuring himself with multiple women. The man and the woman have an argument, while the daughter stood there, the woman showed the man his daughter, causing him to be enraged, killing the woman, and traumatizing the daughter forever, as she cried there on the woman's side. The man then took the daughter, quickly taking care of the body by incinerating it, before shutting the door to the outside, forever...
The next day, the girl then woke up, still on the concrete floor, as she rubbed her eyes and looked around,
"yawn What a strange dream... Scary...", she thought to herself, as she then got up and continued her day...
And so, for the next year or so, the young girl continued to steal from different stores to get food everyday, when the day came when she realized she's now easily identified all throughout the city, she left the city... And so she continued the same process every time, stealing, escaping, surviving, leaving, different towns, different cities, different countries, for the next year...
One day, as she was caught committing highway robbery on a supply truck, some patrol officers were there and caught her in the act, causing her to run away and escape into a nearby town. She decided to hide in a secluded alleyway, as she then looked out for a bit to check if there's anyone, and realized that all the guards in the town were now looking for her. She then sneaked out, hoping to escape, when suddenly,
"Aha! I gotcha!", a guard exclaimed as he grabbed the girl by the arm,
"H-hey! Let me go!", she yelled as she struggled to escape,
"Hey guys, I got the thief, she looks to be the famous thief that everyone's talking about nowadays too! We're gonna be rich!", the guy celebrates, as he drags the girl back to his friends.
The girl continues to struggle, but starts to panic as she realizes she's too weak. She then starts to cry again, as she shouts, she starts to feel dizzy, her vision getting blurry and her head aching severely as a great pressure falls upon her. Her body then started to glow and overheat, as the man then lets go of her out of pain as his hands get burned,
"Ow... What the...? An awakening?", the man exclaims, as the girl continues to glow even brighter, the air around her gets even hotter as the man continues to take a few steps back when...
BOOM! A huge explosion can be heard, as the girl blacked out, finally falling unconscious.
When she woke up, she opened her eyes to see that there was nothing, but fire and destruction all around her, bodies covered in flames, the sound of screams and cries of the desperate. She kept looking around in horror, but all she saw was death and destruction, and she looked down at herself, checking to see as she noticed, she's the only one that's completely fine...
"D-did I, do all this...?", she asked herself, as she looked down at her hands, trembling as she stands there horrified, when she realized as well, there was a young boy standing in front of her, teary-eyed and wearing tattered clothes as he looked up at her. The girl then began to sob and cry uncontrollably once again out of guilt, regret and horror, before quickly running away before anything else went wrong...
Meanwhile, in a certain military base, a tall man with a high-ranked outfit and a coat in the style of a cape is watching TV, smoking a cigar as he watches the recent arson massacre on the town of Lavvendon, and the criminal is shown to be...
"MY DAUGHTER!?", the man gets up and shouts angrily as he breaks his cigar, his face starts to turn red profusely completely out of rage, as he yells angrily, his voice can be heard all throughout the base.
"I'M GONNA KILL THAT BITCH!", he declared, shouting as he walks through the halls, throwing a rage fit as he broke everything in his way, throwing around objects and other people, as the hunt of The Solar Phoenix, began on that day.
