Restore: The World's End

【When the Rain Started Falling】

Rion then landed safely, on her feet on a black truck, catching her jet black beret and putting it back on as she stared on the crumbled structure and sighed.

“Rion!” A familiar voice came into her ears when her name was called, prolonging the O as her blue eyes caught sight of a blonde girl’s head coming out of the window, smiling at her.

“Move.” She sighed, crouched down the edge of the truck and let her body slide through the small entrance.

The red-head got inside successfully, kneeling down on one knee, as if bowing to a master; only that she isn’t, dusting her shoulder with her hand as if finished with an exercise in gym class. She opened her eyes and stood up, her head almost touching the vehicle’s ceiling. The truck was large, spacious and painted in pure white. Her comrades sitting on the truck’s floor---since there are no chairs in the back seat---- in the same state as her.

“That’s Rion!” The blonde jumped, clinging on Rion’s shoulders annoyingly. “Our cat!” She cheered loudly as the red-head began to pursue her efforts in taking the blonde off of her with an irritated face.

“Now, now, Jamie,” A woman with black hair that reached stomach and hazel eyes, at the age of nineteen said as she cuddled with a man about her age. “Rion will die before the enemies even touch her if you choke her like that.” Kang Kyun Ri, Judgment’s Squad Four leader, said with a chuckle. “Right, Chi Soo-Oppa?” The raven haired  looked up at the man she, his hair dyed silver, eyes of the same color shot though hers filled with love, his lips giving out a small smirk as he nodded, making Kyun Ri bury her face on his chest, while Rion looked away, repulsed. She wasn’t used to that kind of things.

“Aw! Kyun Ri I was just happy that Rion’s fine.” Jamie, Judgment’s fifth squad leader pouted, finger-brushing her blonde strands of hair. “Right, Rion?” Her eyes beamed as usual like that of nine years ago, making Rion nod in defeat, trying hard not get into an argument caused by nonsense with her best friend

“Well, if you put it that way,” Kyun Ri chuckled, then taking a peck on Chi Soo’s lips. “사랑해요 [I love you]” She said to him with sparkling eyes with Chi Soo repeating the same words.

“Ew.” Jamie reacted upon seeing the couple.

“Quite a show you put up there.” Kiran Arya called with his normal Indian accent, folding his arms.  “Did you kill them? Were they irregulars?” He asked, curiosity wrapping around his voice.

“If they were irregulars then Rion wouldn’t be standing.” Chi Soo laughed as he continued brushing Kyun Ri’s hair. Rion on the other hand, had to bite her lip to hide her irritation.

“No, they weren’t irregulars and no, I didn’t kill them. They’re just injured.” Rion sighed, rubbing her temples. “At least I hope they’re alive.” She whispered to herself turning into the girl who hated killing nine years ago, unheard by her comrades.

The Japanese-Korean sighed once more as she turned her head to the driver’s seat, a man with a familiar face driving. He had blonde hair, green eyes, a splitting image of Judgment’s leader; Roxas Lazerdean, Roland Lazerdean looked back to see the red-head safe and sound. The older brother smiled at the red-head seeing that she’s fine. “Nayuta called me.” He said, not letting his smile drop.

“Who else would call you?” Brown strands of hair started to pop out in front of Rion, a boy at the age of fourteen smiled and laughed cheekily. He then paused to see everyone’s faces still the same. “Eh? Wasn’t that funny?” Cole said, his lips pouting. “I was hoping that Alison would laugh.” The brunette laid his eyes on a woman, her arms folded, eyes closed, her red hair that was cut only to reach her neck, standing at the very end of the truck beside a girl, her black hair neatly tied up to a side ponytail as she started to fidget with her fingers. “Or at least make Rikka look at me…” Cole whispered in low spirits, staring at the girl next to Alison.
