Destiny – Prologue

In the darkness, a patch of mica seemed to fall, and the sunlight flashed on the small reflective surface. A white fuselage with two wings stretched out is flying through space.

The compact fuselage has a white base color, plus blue and yellow, and it looks like a fighter jet. Through the tinted glass shield, the driver's red uniform can be seen.

The driver reads the data on the instrument cluster and screens while controlling the joystick. Behind the helmet is a slightly childish and stubborn face; The bangs that hang down on the face are black, and the eyes that emerge from the hair are as deep red as blood.

In front of those red eyes, a massive structure shaped like a silver hourglass was approaching. It was a new-generation colony satellite built on L4 - the "Armory One", which was one of the colonies. For a newcomer to space, space can be difficult to grasp the sense of distance from objects, and the pilot seems to be baffled by this. Without the refraction of air, distant objects would be as clear as if they were close to us, and even the spectacular colonial asterism would become as unreal as a model. He flew around the slowly rotating artificial land.

Suddenly, a blue orb came into his eyes. Earth - the blue home planet. Whenever I saw her beautiful figure, the suffocating pain and nostalgia wrapped around the boy's chest. He subconsciously looked near the equator, looking for the small crown in the clear blue sea.

United Arab Emirates of Orb. Is that him—really? The name of Asuka's hometown where Asuka was born and raised as an adjuster. In previous wars, this small nation of the Annular Islands, located just below the equator, was undoubtedly the last paradise on earth in the minds of the adjusters.

Humans use genetic adjustment to maximize the genetic traits of the next generation, such as intelligence, physical strength, or appearance, and the resulting adjusters are like dreamy new humans. However, only the able-bodied, ungenetically modified people, the natural man, ostracized them, forcing the adjusters to leave the earth and settle down in the universe. The gap between the two sides deepened, and the war between the moderators and the natural world finally began, except for the neutral nation of Orb, who did not take sides, and still allowed the moderators to settle in their own country.

No one expected that such a position would lead to the aggression of the United Earth Army. Today, I still have the screams of the missiles piercing through the air, the low rumbling in the distance, and the incessant sirens in my head.

"Hurry up, really."

"Mayo! Hurry up. ”

I heard my father's slightly wheezing voice and my mother's panicked cry. In the midst of the explosion that overshadowed all this, a huge figure flew in, it was a white fighter plane with ten wings, like an angel of death descending, and like an ancient giant god. I saw it whirl at an astonishing speed, avoiding the dense artillery fire, and bursting flames from the muzzles of the five guns. In an instant, the firelight burned the real sight.

Makazu's family is rushing to Minato Ward for evacuation. The island where they lived, home to the state-run military enterprise Akebosha and many military installations, made it a major target for enemy attacks. The sky was filled with huge fighter jets, beams of light, and missiles, as well as a few thick black smoke rising from the horizon. What a rush through the woods; The harbor was already visible through the trees ahead, and the ships used for evacuation were parked on the edge of the harbor, while the military men were guiding the people to evacuate. It's almost there—it's a little bit more relaxed.

My sister Mayu, who had been crying with a sad face and was being held by her mother and running desperately, shouted at this time: "Ah, someone's mobile phone." ”

The pink mobile phone jumped out of its backpack and rolled down the slope beside the road.

"Don't do it!"

Mayu leaned over to pick it up, but was pulled back by her mother, but saw that Mayo was still reluctant to look down the slope. It was a mobile phone that my sister begged her parents to give her, and she always liked it, even though the phone was almost completely impossible to communicate with after the start of the war, she still kept it in her hand for a moment. Knowing this, he ran down the slope to retrieve it for her. He thought that he was moving faster and could catch up with them immediately.

The pink mobile phone rolled to the root of the tree and stopped. Shin bent down, and just as he picked up his phone, a deafening explosion hit his body.

The whole world is spinning.

When he came to his senses, he found himself falling down the slope and on the asphalt road next to the port area.

He looked around in amazement. In front of me, it was like a stage that had just changed the background, but in the blink of an eye, the scenery had completely changed. The slopes were excavated entirely, the reddish-brown soil turned out, and the trees were crooked, some of them charred and smoking. I really didn't know it at the time, but this was the scene of a direct shot from the beam cannon. He got up from the ground in a daze, and saw the soldier in charge of guiding the refugees running over, talking to himself with a nervous face, but the impact of the explosion just now still controlled his hearing, and the soldier's voice sounded as thin and indistinct as if it had been separated by several layers of quilts. For a moment, he could only let someone grab his shoulder blankly, but when he was taken away, he suddenly woke up again.

What about Mayo...... What about Mom and Dad?

It was only then that she realized the meaning of what she saw. The road, which the family had been running to the death, had been dug into a hole by shelling, and the roadbed had collapsed, and the sand beneath the tarmac had not even stopped crumbling. Around the big pothole, the trees were almost uprooted, and in the middle of the hole was where he had just stood. At that time, only one person ran to the side of the road, and it was the impact of the explosion that lifted him down the slope.

The blood in the whole body seemed to be cold together. Shin shook off the soldier's hand and stumbled out.

"Dad...... Mom? What about Mayo......? ”

Nothing was moving around the crater. Behind a pile of sand, I saw a weak little hand sticking out of the mound, and I couldn't help but shout: "Mayu! ”

He rushed over, but froze. Beneath that familiar cuff was a tiny hand. That's the only way.

The arm attached to my sister's body was severed from it, and there was nothing else.

Reluctantly, he turned his gaze to the front of the road, the ground covered with clods of earth, and the ones that looked like clods—half-charred clothes, broken, twisted, and scattered, were actually his dear family. They had just touched, spoken to themselves, and were still moving, but in an instant, they had turned into this appearance. As if he was paralyzed, he really sat down beside that little hand.

It was as if the hand was reaching out to itself and asking for help from itself. He shuddered and reached out, only to find that he was still clutching the pink mobile phone. A sensation welled up in my throat. Grief, hatred, anger—indescribable impulses, but so intense that they almost burst out of his body, biting through his slender body. He roared like a beast in the sky.

The figures of the angels of death shuttling through the air were deeply imprinted in those red eyes. In the face of this overwhelming force, the fourteen-year-old is too powerless and too small.

It's a new beginning...... Can the arrival of fate be stopped......

(Let's look at the vote and decide to go down)
