Suffering... if there's one word to describe my existence to describe what my life has been like then that would be a pretty good choice. From my earliest memories I lived in constant pain.
I though I was safe when I finally escaped from that but it was long after that I learnt the horrors of emotional pain. My physical pain has nothing on what I feel when I think back to the people I've lost. My heros.
I grew up in a world where 80 percent of the worlds population was born with amazing abilities called quirks. In the early days of these powers there was nothing but chaos and in doing so civilisation haulted in science and technological advancements.
But after many years the world became a super hero society where every day lives looked like scenes out of a comic book with some people taking up the heroics as a profession.
Among them was the greatest hero I've ever known and who saved my life from my original suffering.. Izuku Midoriya also known as Pro Hero Deku!
But just as humanity began to grasp the concept of using power for good they quickly grasp the idea of evil. As advance technology made its rise once again certain quirks became compatible with technology.
No one knows who was originally to blame from the chaos that unfolded. Some say it rises from the North American continent. Others believe I-Island had a hand in it.
All we know is that a powerful virus overtook the weapons and support items humans created to protect themselves. A complex AI known commonly to us as skynet.
Nuclear strikes scattered across the global destroying billions of lives. And only some of us surviving the first attack to be hunted down by machines.
My name is Eri Bakugo. And I'm part of the resistance.
TERMINATOR: Evolution
Eri curled up into a ball attempting to hide under the bed. She didn't want to be hurt. She didn't want to be used like a lab rat.
She sobbed quietly as a pair of shoes stood alongside the bed closing her eyes. Suddenly the bed became disassembled and she looked up in raw fear as Overhaul stared down at her. "Come now Eri."
She screamed and crawled away "No! Leave me alone!" She huddled into a corner praying for a miracle.
Overhaul groans and proceeds to step forward with his hand reaching out to grab her. Eri cringed not wanting to be taken. Suddenly she felt something in her hand.
Opening her eyes she sees a handgun in her hand. Not wasting time questioning on how she got it she quickly cocked it and aimed it at point blank range into overhauls face and proceeded to fire the gun emptying the magazine.
Each bullet made overhaul stumble back until the final shot made fall back. Eri panted dropping the gun and looked at her hands shaking over what she just done.
She noticed movement and slowly looked up to see Overhaul slowly sit up. Her eyes began to water as his face stared her down revealing that the top left half of his face was replaced with a bloody metal skull with humanless red eyes.
Overhauls hand reached out to grab Eri as she became overwhelmed by darkness.
...
"AHHHHH!" Screamed Eri as she shot up in bed waking from her latest nightmare. She quickly glanced around the room remembering where she was and sighed in relief finding she was safe in her room.
Moments later the bedroom door opened revealing a revealing a man with ash blonde hair peeking in "Unicorn?... you okay?"
Eri looked up and nodded "Just a nightmare Kacchan."
Bakugo walks in and sits down at the edge of the bed looking at her "was it him again or machines?"
She looked away from him clinching her bedsheets "b-both." She replied. Bakugo sighed and wrapped an arm around her "I have them to. Especially about the day this all started." He spoke quietly
She leans in against him "Do they go away?" Bakugo glanced down at the girl sighing "no... but it does get easier."
She simply nods and wipes her face. Bakugo slowly gets up and ruffled her head "you better get ready kiddo. You got that meeting with Nezu and Hatesume." He spoke as he shut the door leaving her in privacy.
She glanced over at her digital clock reading it saying 8:12am Tuesday 8th May 2029. She lets out a sigh as she proceeds to get dressed and let her mind wonder around. Particular to how Katsuki Bakugo is now. She remembers him being a proud hot tempered hero in training when they meet. The day she became a Bakugo member was the early days of destruction. She still technically had no family and during the process of naming the survivors young Bakugo took it upon himself to care for the girl his rival fought so hard to protect in a show of respect and honour of his memory.
Altogether he was young he did everything possible to be a responsible father figure during the dark time's with the assistance of over survivors.
Eri shook her head free of her memories as she proceeded to pull on a familiar looking hero suit. Although she could wear one of the old UA gym uniforms the hero suit was special to her considering who it belong to. And she would always wear it. Even though it maybe covered in rips, dirt and blood stains.
She finished with pulling on a pair of red boots and decided to leave the hooded bunny ears down in the same manner her hero did and left her room tieing her back.
She's got no idea what Hatesume and The old principal of UA would want with her. Could possibly be a check up on how she is or could be that she's finally earnt the chance to leave the safety of the bunker and fight along side the others against the machines.
She will soon find out why they wish to see her.
(A/N: another idea I'm trying out before I forget it.)
