The World's Final Hope

and the weather website says “Expect intense lightning.”

so I expected her

Lightning Farron is at my house

Eyes struggle to open upon the smell of a burnt and smoky setting, forcing the latter soldier to ease off a groan. She grounded her teeth while feeling a teeth-shattering headache, a frown displayed on her features before the light of her azure orbs reflect the wooden ground. Burnt bits of debris flew across those orbs, thus widening her eyes as she jerked up, hitting her head against what appears to be the ‘ceiling’. Underneath her laid boulders and wooden plates, along with cracked cements and faded colors. What concerned her the most was the fact that her surroundings were all a fire trail, threatening to swallow her in. With panic in her chest did she kick and punch the wooden ceiling, only successfully breaking it after the fifth try. Pulling herself out of the messy burning structure, she rose to the surface only to greet a roof that was on fire. Thankfully, there was a safe pathway to another roof, and apparently, that roof wasn’t on fire. With the intention of survival, Lightning darted across the weakened roof, jumping across holes and finally landed on the other building’s roof with a loud cracking sound, but not enough to make a hole. Looking back, she witnesses the previous building’s destruction to the ground, a ray of fire spread across.

Furrowed brows react to the groans and roars that laid below, as she took a few steps forward to analyze what was below her. What she didn’t expect, however, was a familiar aura of her previous town, but broken in a way that she wouldn’t even imagine. What surprised her the most, on the other hand, was the fact that there were… things roaming around.

Inhuman things.

What are these? she questioned herself as she withdrew her gunblade. Or at least, she thought she withdrew it. Instead, she was greeted with a customized gun with a blade on its end, crafted in a way that was meant to shoot bolts of sharp nails rather than bullets. Her brow arched as she wondered what made this creation, but all thoughts were placed on halt as she heard a loud explosion, an image of what was suppost to be a ‘Lightning’ appeared before her, running away from these ‘things’.

No time to ponder, now. The only one in this place that’s human is her, and I’m not going to stay in this Hell without any answers. With that in mind, she ran across the roofs, tracking this ‘Lightning’ down and shooting from a distance. One of her shots got the ‘thing”s head, but instead, the body kept on going without another second wasted. A ‘tch’ escaped the soldier’s lips as she continued to shoot until all the limbs in the ‘thing’ were severed.

As the warrior continued to run she shot bullets back at the monsters. It stalled them but it hadn't worked for long. It just bought her more time. Time. Like that wasn't a funny subject to bring up.  As she continued to run more of the monsters came up in front of her, with a quick slash she stalled more of them and continued to run.

As Lightning ran she couldn't helped but think she didn't belong here. This place didn't seem like the real world. And it didn't seem like the Void Beyond either... Where was she? The monsters had been chasing her as if she hadn't belonged there, as if it wasn't exactly her place to be... Almost like it was...

Before Lightning finished her thought something had stopped her mind.  She was still running but for a split second she saw a pink shade throughout  the havoc. For some reason it felt like everything else had been moving slower besides her... like the world was happening around her. It still felt like she was an unwelcomed guest in a...

Lightning didn't dare to go down there. Not until she had to. Too risky. The maiden put her head down and turned back away from the cliff overlooking the land full of cities, deserts, and springs. As she turned around Lightning saw a being with....strange ears. The valkyrie's eyebrow raised in curiosity as the girl stepped closer. She heard something that seemed to be coming from the girl but her mouth hadn't opened...strange.

"Lightning."
