"It was the year 2000 when the planet was at its peak no country struggled in poverty no one was plotting against the other , Human beings had finally discovered peace among each other until they came around (the whole class gasped and stared at their teacher with fear) THE HAZARD'S!!!" said Mr Reiko Matsuda as the class listened while a male student with white hair sits in the corner and roles his eyes " 13th of april 2000 the first hazard was born into our peaceful world ..." said reiko as he sighs and notices the white haired student kai hoshino raised his hand " what now ?" asked the teacher with a tiresome expression on his face "they are called meta humans and the term hazard is overly racist " said kai folding his hands and sitting back down this time with his legs stretched on hid desk . Mr Reiko gasped at kai not caring and going on with his story " The first hazard Sakrugi Kenijiro was a child born with a special flame ability , but he was deemed an oni by an auditor who lived next to him " " what's an oni? " asked a female student " and what's an auditor ?" asked another female student in the room . " oni's are demon's with horns , and auditors are very important individuals in the one world Religion " " how do you not know that ? " asked a male student with glasses to the female student " well she's not to blame entirely the whole world changed when the hazard was born " said the teacher in a calm voice , " what did he do that was so bad ?" asked a student that sat at the front row . Mr Reiko sat on a chair and said in a low tone " Sakrugi's flames raged beyond his control, birthing an inferno that consumed everything in its path. Over 8,000 souls perished in the wildfire, including his own parents-a tragedy so devastating it became one of the deadliest events in the history of our once-peaceful world. But this was only the beginning.
The moment Sakrugi entered the world, so did chaos. Humanity soon witnessed an unsettling shift . one in every ten newborns carried a terrifying curse. They were known as Hazards otherwise Meta Humans , individuals gifted with immense power yet driven by recklessness, turning their abilities into instruments of destruction.
Fear took root in the hearts of world leaders. The mere existence of these beings shattered their sense of control, driving them into paranoia. Desperate and blinded by terror, they unleashed relentless assaults in a futile attempt to reclaim order. But their fear-fueled crusades only led to more devastation-countless lives lost, entire cities reduced to ashes, and the once-thriving world spiraling further into ruin". Mr Reiko walked around the class room educating everyone about Hazards . The bell rang and although the student's showed interest in his story they all dashed out of the class leaving Reiko ,Kai and a random female student that rose her head after the bell rang. " hey kid can we talk " asked Reiko as Kai walked towards him " Listen I know you're trying to put on some cool and rude persona on but don't do that girl's don't like that" he said folding his hands and sitting on his desk . "(What are they doing ?)" asked the girl to her self as she cleared her eyes and removed paper from her brown hair " why do i feel like am forgetting something ?" she said to her self as she saw one of the paper's in her hair had the writing's anti-ren with a drawing of her playing the piano with demon horn's "( They could have at least spell my name right its Rin not ren ) " she thought about it standing up and staring at reiko and kai as they discussed with each other " what do you know about girls ?" asked Kai , " what can i say i like em " replied Reiko " you like girls !!!" replied Kai and Rin with a disgusted expression all over their faces , "No i like ....like em ....like as people " Mr Reiko stammered as Kai and Rin looked at him as a pedophile . Rin began to exit the room and so was Kai but his hand got dragged back by Reiko " Remember you can tell your teacher anything ! " said reiko as he stared into Kai's black eyes and notices for a second that he is actually wearing contact's , Rin leaves the room followed by Kai both going in separate direction's while Mr reiko brings out his phone from his pocket and dails 5322 on it , "HELLO THIS IS THE ANTI HAZARD DEPARTMENT " , " Hello my name is reiko, Reiko Matsuda and i would be reporting a Hazard " said Mr Reiko looking scared .
MEANWHILE AT A ROADSIDE ICE CREAM SHOP
"I'll take one matcha flavoured ice cream " said Kai bringing out ¥200 from his right pocket and notices a boy in torn clothes staring at him looking poor and hungry . " hmm could you give me another one i wanna eat it in front of that creepy looking kid " he said with a disgusted look on his face , " ok!" the ice cream man replied with enthusiasm . Kai walked down the street enjoying two gatcha flavoured ice cream with a smile on his face then he notice's an anti-hazard van park in front of him , "shit ! " Kai exclaimed as he ran towards the other end of the street throwing away the ice cream on the floor right in front of the little boy as he paced further entering an alley and climbing through window's in parkour manner until he got to the roof . Two men in highly suited military gear came down from the van and quickly activated jetpack's on them , Kai looked down from the roof noticing they have jetpacks "well i guess its flames up "He stood on the edge of the building, heart pounding as the jetpack soldiers closed in. No time to think just move. With a deep breath, he let the fire explode from his feet, the flames blasting downward like a rocket. The force launched him into the air, heat rippling around him as he shot forward, barely dodging a hail of bullets from their guns . He hit the next rooftop hard, rolling to absorb the impact, then kept running faster, hotter, leaving a trail of embers behind. He kept doing this with two Anti human soldiers flew all around him using all their ammo to land an attack, Kai dodges each one with a near chance of getting hit , He skidded to a stop at the rooftop's edge nothing but open air ahead. No buildings, no escape. The jetpack soldiers closed in fast. He had one shot. Gritting his teeth, he spun around and unleashed a massive wave of fire, the heat distorting the air as the explosion swallowed them. In the chaos, he didn't wait to see if they survived. Flames erupted from his feet, blasting him forward like a missile. He streaked across the sky, a fiery blur, vanishing into the distance before they could recover. The fire carried him far but not forever.His flames sputtered as exhaustion kicked in, and gravity took over. The dark treetops rushed toward him fast - too fast. He braced himself, but it didn't matter.
CRASH!
Branches snapped, leaves scattered, and his body slammed through thick limbs before finally hitting the ground with a heavy thud. Pain exploded through him. His arms, legs ,everything ached. Blood trickled from fresh scrapes, and a nasty cut burned on his side. He groaned, rolling onto his back, staring up at the night sky through the trees.
He was alive. Barely.
But there was no time to rest. If the soldiers were still hunting him, he needed to move. Now.
MEANWHILE SOMEWHERE ELSE
"damn am gonna be late again " said Rin to her self as she notices a whole in her bag has been releasing all its contents , " Shit !" she began to pick up her books as they filled the street . She picked them all up only to still bump into an old lady . sending both of them straight to the ground , " watch it child " said the old lady " No you hold it grams i am already going through a rough day and i dont need you scolding me " shouted Rin angrily at the old lady . " i said watch it " the old lady said this revealing her face along side a feature on her face that looked weird she had rainbow eyes . Rin noticed her eyes but also noticed a truck was heading for them, One second, she was crossing the street, lost in thought. The next blinding headlights. A deafening horn.
BAM!
The truck slammed into her with brutal force, her body flung like a ragdoll. The world spun. Pain exploded through her before everything went black.
Silence followed. The only sound left was the fading hum of the engine... and the gasps of bystanders, Rin noticed the old lady still stayed on the ground was un harmed then all of a sudden time paused with everyone and everything freezing in motion. "To be honest i don't want to save you , you brat so i guess i'll curse you" said the granny as only her was able to move then she let out an annoying laugh " i don't even care if i die at least i wont be a hazard that would be your cup of tea" said the old lady as she clapped her hands.
4:00 PM [Keio University Hospital]
Rins eyes fluttered open to the harsh glow of fluorescent lights. A dull, throbbing pain pulsed through her body, her limbs heavy, her head foggy. She tried to move-only to hear the clink of metal.
Her heart pounded as she looked down. Handcuffs. One wrist locked to the hospital bed's railing.
Wires and tubes ran from her arms, machines beeping steadily beside her. An IV dripped fluid into her veins. Bandages covered her skin, and the scratchy hospital gown clung to her sore body. She struggled to remember but all she got was a flash of blinding lights and the distant echo of a horn. Then darkness. And now, she was here. Cuffed. She looked out the door and saw her parents talk to anti-hazard men which made her begin to ponder various question's , She noticed all of a sudden she could hear them like they were standing next to her . " The compensation funds would be sent to you as soon as possible " said an anti hazard agent. Rin noticed these men where actually talking to her parents, "I cant believe she's a Hazard" said Rin's Dad with a disappointed face . "Well kill her if you have too its for the betterment of our nation and to secure lives" said Rins mom standing up to look at Rins Dad . Rin stood up from the hospital bed removing anything connected to heeded for the window by the bed as she no noticed the anti hazard men walked towards the her , her breathing was ragged as panic took over. She shuffled back, dragging the cuffed hand with her until her back hit the cold wall. Heart pounding, eyes wide with fear, she pressed against it-
And then... she fell.
Not forward. Backwards.
Straight through the wall.
For a split second, the world turned into a blur of light and air-then her stomach flipped as she realized she was falling.
Seven floors down.
Wind howled past her ears. The ground rushed up fast. She braced for the impact-
CRASH!
Her body slammed into the pavement, pain ripping through her. Bones snapped, her vision blurred, and blood pooled beneath her. She gasped, choking on agony-
Then it all... stopped.
The pain faded. The warmth of her own blood vanished. The sharp sting of broken bones dulled into nothing.
She lifted a trembling hand-her skin was smooth. Not a scratch. Not a bruise.
Her breath hitched. Eyes darting over her body, she pressed a hand to her side, where she knew she should have felt pain. But there was nothing.
"What... the hell... just happened?" asked Rin to herself .
Her mind screamed at her to move. Whatever was happening-**whatever she was-**she couldn't stop to figure it out now.
She bolted. Bare feet pounding against the cold pavement, her breath sharp and ragged.
Then CRACK!
A gunshot rang out. A white-hot pain exploded in her leg, nearly sending her crashing to the ground. Blood sprayed as the bullet tore through flesh. She gasped, stumbling But she didn't fall. Through the searing pain, through the shock, something deep inside her refused to stop. She gritted her teeth and ran.
Every step sent fresh agony through her, but she pushed forward. Faster. Harder. The burning wound in her leg already tingled, the pain dulling. Then just like before the pain was gone. She glanced down mid-stride. The wound was closing. Healing. Her eyes widened, panic and confusion mixing in her chest. "What am I?!" . No time for answers. Another shot rang out. She just kept running. it was only a matter of time before a helicopter was on her tail , she ran and ran as fast as she could with the rush of adrenaline through her body . " She's on the run " said the sniper into his walkie talkie .
7:00 pm [white lilly forest ]
The city was in chaos.
Screams echoed through the streets as bystanders scattered, their eyes filled with terror. Overhead, a black chopper roared through the sky, its spotlight locked onto her. Below, anti-hazard vans sped through the streets, tires screeching as they cut off every possible escape.
Then came the gunfire.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Bullets tore through her again. Her shoulder jerked back. A round slammed into her ribs. Another buried itself in her gut. Blood sprayed the pavement-
But she didn't stop.
She couldn't stop.
Every time a bullet found her, the pain came fast-then vanished. The wounds sealed almost instantly, the blood disappearing like it was never there. The crowd watching from behind cover had wide, horrified eyes.
She wasn't dying.
She should have been a corpse by now, a broken mess on the ground. But her body refused to stay down.
More shots. More impacts. A sniper round caught her in the side of the head, snapping her neck to the side yet she kept running.
The soldiers in the vans shouted orders, their voices panicked.
"She's still moving!"
"What IS she?!"
"Hit her again! DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!"
But no matter how much they shot her, no matter how much blood she lost, she just wouldn't die. Rin had ran about a couple kilometers until she reached the top of a clif. She was trapped.
The edge of the cliff crumbled beneath her feet, loose rocks tumbling into the dark abyss below. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her body shaking from exhaustion. Blood her own blood stained her hospital gown, but none of it mattered.
Because there was nowhere left to run.
WHIRRRR-
Above her, three choppers hovered like vultures, their spotlights blinding. The one in the center had something worse.
A cannon.
Its core hummed with an eerie glow, crackling with unstable energy.
She had seconds. Her hands clenched into weak fists. Her body was healing, but she wasn't sure how much more she could take. She glanced over her shoulder at the sheer drop-fear clawing at her chest. Jumping meant death. Staying meant death.
The cannon fired. A blinding beam of destruction ripped through the air, aimed straight at her.
Her heart stopped. This was it. The beam was inches away. And then-she vanished.
No sound. No flash. No warning. One second, she was there the next, she was gone.
The beam obliterated the spot where she had stood, scorching the earth into nothing. The cliffside crumbled under its force.
The soldiers in the choppers stared in stunned silence.
"Did... Did we get her?" one of them muttered.
No response. Just the eerie hum of the cannon fading into the night.
No body. No remains. No trace of her at all.
To them, it was simple. She had been erased from existence.
