DAY OF RECKONING

"Ni san!! We need to be quick or else we won't be able to see any empty seat in the dorm!!" At the bustling and lively city of Tokyo, two boys could be seen running down the street in haste along with a considerable amount of people.

These two boys have a striking resemblance between them with their crimson colored hair and starry looking eyes, but one of them is taller and looks more matured to the other who is still has a fresh look of a child.

"The only way we can get faster is If I carry you since you are already at your top speed" The older boy replied with a hurried tone right after he observed the state his younger brother is in.

"Then please do so!! I don't want my weakness to be the cause of us missing this!!" The younger boy said back in utmost certainty as he suddenly stopped right in front of the older one and stretched out his arms.

"Then hold on tight because this will be a bumby ride!" The older one said as he picked up the younger one and place him on his back in the form of giving him a piggy back ride while still on his stable running speed.

"Go!!"

"Ahh!!!"

Both the younger and older boy yelled out from the top of their lungs as the later increased his speed to the max which prompted him to zoom past the other pedestrians. After passing through an innumerable amount of people who either cursed his lack of etiquette or doubt if he has gone blind, The older one amongst the duo finally stopped In front of a looming infrastructure inwhich it's entrance is currently crowded with people.

This infrastructure has every feature of a doomsday dorm as it is shaped in a large white ball which has a small hole at it's base. Not only that, but flashes of light occasionally appears on the white ball which makes it a technological artwork.

"So beautiful..." The younger one muttered in awe while he observed the dorm in a daze. But after noticing his younger brother and shaking his head, the older one suddenly said as he continued moving closer to the dorm. "Sorry Nagi but we will appreciate the building when the event is over. Right now we need to get seats for the both of us or else our efforts will be for–"

"Ni san, what's that!?" But before he could finish what he was saying, his younger brother suddenly interrupted him as he pointed towards a particular area in the sky.

"Huh? What?" Taken by surprise to his brother's spontaneous question, the older one suddenly stopped in his tracks as he muttered while he looked towards the area his younger brother is currently pointing at. In that area, he could see a very blurry image high up in the clouds inwhich his eyesight alone couldn't depict.

"Huh? What in the world is that?" He muttered in curiosity as he squinted his eyes in hopes of slightly seeing what is staining the white clouds in the sky. But after seeing that his efforts weren't bearing fruits, he obviously gave up but he told his brother who is on his back.

"Ah I give up, Nagi try and find out what that thing is while I try to get us into the dorm"

"It's moving!!" Nagi suddenly exclaimed with his eyes squinted, his small face lit with awe as he pointed up.

But in the next heartbeat, the world exploded.

Swish!!!

Bang!!

Boom!!

"Ahh!!!"

A blinding flash of white tore through the sky, slamming into the heart of the domed structure with a deafening roar. People screamed as the impact blew them backward in a rush of force, and the dormitory crumbled in on itself like paper, collapsing in a building shower of dust, debris, and twisted metal.

"Ah!"

"Watch out Nagi!!"

Nagi felt his brother's grip slip as they both hit the ground hard, scraped and stunned. When he looked up, the brightness in the sky has dimmed, but his breath froze as grotesque shapes began to emerge from the haze– a swarm of creatures that looked like living nightmares. Their skin was stretched tight over spindly, skeletal frames, pale and slick as if oozing from the light itself. Jaws filled with needle-sharp teeth unhinged wide, emitting guttural, wet screeches.

"Wha- What is that!?"

"Run!!"

One of the creatures lunged forward, it's clawed limbs ripping through the crowd who were frantically on the run for their lives. Blood sprayed in violent arcs as it tore into people, shredding them as they struggled to escape. Limbs and bodies were flung aside like broken dolls, staining the pavement beneath them a slick, deep crimson.

"Nagi!! We need to leave!!"

Nagi's brother grabbed his hand, pulling him back as he exclaimed in a panicked and horror filled tone. But unfortunately, it was too late for the both of them. One of the monster's shot forward, it's claws slicing through his brother's torso in a single, sickening movement. Blood spurted across Nagi's face, warm and sticky, as he stared in shock, his brother's body falling limp beside him, eyes blank, mouth frozen in an unfinished scream as he thought.

'Ni... san.....'

Terror rooted Nagi in place, his small hands trembling as he felt a cold shadow looming over him. Slowly, he turned, looking up into the creature's empty, glassy eyes as it cocked it's head, as if savoring his fear. Then in a nightmarish flash, it struck, claws sinking into his chest with a wet crunch. Pain exploded through him as he gasped, his vision fading to red. The last thing he saw was the creature's maw opening wide, dripping with the blood of countless victims.

And then, darkness.
