Prologue

His death.

That's all she ever dreamed about anymore. All she could do was watch as he was battered and beat, all to protect her. To say that she had survivor's guilt would be an understatement. The fact that she was alive instead of him was all she could ever think of. It put her mind away from what she had to deal with now. The world was basically over. All the heroes were being hunted and killed, one by one they would get captured, the executed. The villans won.

She woke up with tears streaming down her face, not that it was anything new. It seemed to happen every time she woke up. "Eri?" a voice called, she turned to it. The owner of the voice, a man with a black leather jacket and fingerless combat gloves, accompanied by his cargo pants and combat boots. His blonde hair was dirty and full of grease, which was to be expected she didn't remember the last time she had a shower, his red eyes looked at her with worry. He was accompanied by some of his Binging balls floating around him.

"Are you okay?" he asked

"I'm fine Tamashiro," she said not very convincingly " when are we leaving?"

"Izumi and Watanabe want to leave now, so does Ryukyu," he said looking back.

The abandoned building they were currently occupying was a temporary living situation as was everything else in her life. At least it seemed that way.

"They told me to wake you up."

"Well I'm up," she says getting up from the wall she was sitting against. "Tell them we can leave whenever, I'll be outside."

Walking out would normally be dangerous since according to the new law she was wanted for treason against the country, but they were in a destroyed area of Japan. The remains the fight that started what she dubbed as the Calamity. That day was four years ago, that day marked a turning point in the country. The day that saw the number one hero, Deku, fall to a villain, a villain who thought that the world didn't deserve to be saved, so he decided that he would rid the world of those who try to save it. He killed heroes, one by one, till there was almost none left. Japan, which was once home to the most successful heroes, lost all of them. The ones that were left stopped trying to solve the problem instead, they tried to outlive them. The wind blew against her face, her hair flailing behind her. She took in a deep breath trying to take her mind off-, The air tasted like gunpowder. She turned back to the building and ran.

"Ryukyu!" she screamed running in. The woman in question is a woman with chin-length blonde hair, which was swept back with a headband, a long fringe over the right side of her face, covering her eye. Her yellow eyes looked at Eri with a mix of disdain and terror.

"Detonator, he's here, we have to go."

Ryukyu opens her mouth to reply. Only to hear an explosion, a staple of Detonator's kit. Before another goes off right outside the doorway she came through. "Run," Ryukyu says right before she gets tackled by a familiar blur. A wolf, with whom she is very familiar with. Asashi Tanaka used to be a classmate of hers before he became a victim to a brainwash. A villain who could rewrite people's memories.

"To think I would find the remaining of the rebels here, must be my lucky day." another person enters accompanied by his many shadow soldiers.

"Ryukyu, the last one I need dead to begin the next phase of my plans." He says walking up to her barely awake frame.

"It's a shame you have to go, now you can't see the rest of their deaths." he turned to me "Especially that one." His shadows lunge at me, pining against a wall.

"You really are a pain in the ass, you heal them, you change things, you always have a plan."

He moves his face so its inches away from mine. "So what happens to them when you're gone?" More of his shadows come in, this time bringing an unconscious Izumi.

"I'll tell you," he turns back to him, his hand reforming into a shadow claw that plunges right into his heart. "They die."

Only now do I realize I've been crying, and then I start screaming.

The world ended four years ago, and I wished it could all go back, back to when I was happy, back to when I had a family. I wished that then and there was here and now.

And then it happened.
