The three days passed in a flash, within that time he had a tour around the city, spending his time visiting stores, and restaurants, but for some reason, there wasn't that much restaurant in the city.
When the three days passed, on the day the Academy was supposed to come for them, no one came neither were they told what to do.
Not having much to do he was about to head on another tour, stepping out of his room he noticed that, the street appeared different,
It was as if time moved backward, with the street looking like it, over two centuries ago, it looked like they were back on earth, it felt surreal, the buildings,
He looked at the buildings with billboards all around it, he knew where he was standing, he knew where he was, he was in New York, Time square,
He couldn't forget even though the building appeared different, he couldn't, he spent most of his time there, even his death.
He was admiring the place, when he noticed, the other aspirants appearing, soon he noticed the street was already filled with them.
Looking around he spotted Clara, with look of confusion on groups face, she wasn't hard to spot with the confidence oozing out of her, making his way through the group, he approached her.
"hey have any idea what's going on, I was heading out for a walk, when I noticed the change in the surrounding" Lucy spoke, upon reaching her.
Looking at him Clara was confuse, didn't his house tell him, then remembering his reputation wasn't the birst out there, she nodded in understanding before speaking,
"we are in a simulation, weren't we told thethe Academy entrance exam will begin today, well it already begun " when she was done, she ignored the rest of the group and headed out alone.
Lucy did not know why she left but decided to take a page from her book, leaving the group, aimlessly walking through the streets of Manhattan, he was only three blocks away from the group, when he heard commotion, he looked at the crowd in the streets and saw them looking at the sky with some even taking photos, looking up at the sky, he saw a tear, it was beautiful it felt like a starry-eye in the sky, but immediately he saw it, he had goosebumps, he knew what was happening, every aspirant knew what was happening, he finally got why Clara left, she was heading for the bunker, immediately his got to this point, the others also thought of the same thing.
Breaking out into a sprint, he headed for the safe house, but it was too late.
~Roar!
The sound of a monstrous roar resounded through the streets, the tear in the sky was ripped open, and ghoul beast poured out of it, bloating out the sun with their massive size, and from withing the crack War ships could be seen in the thousands,
~Run!
Nobody knew who said it, but the crowd followed, with people running chaoticly, pushing and falling, it was a mess every body running with no direction in mind following the person at the forefront,
~Crash!
~Boom!
~Ahhhh!
The sound of building falling and sound of explosion going off, and screams of people could be heard but, he couldn't turn back no he wouldn't, he knew looking back would only slow, him down.
"it's not real it's only a simulation, it's all fake" he kept on muttering to him self while running.
[All citizens of New York, head to the safe house, this is not a drill head to the closest safe house around you, the US army has been deployed, be safe and may God bless America]
~Vwooom!
~Vwooom!
~Vwooom!
The sound of fast moving objects cutting through the air resounded, looking towards the sky he saw fighter jets shooting up, heading towards the ghoul beast, with a tail of fire behind it.
Chop! Chop! Chop!
Blowing dust throughout its trail, military and choppers were deployed,
The crowd running cheered, but he knew the US army stood no chance, so he didn't pause for even a moment, continuing his sprint, and just like he thought,
~Boom!
He felt a breeze touch him, swerving to his right,
~Whoosh!
Something moving fast passed him by an inch, looking he saw it was the blade of the chopper, that passed by, the flame still burning on the blade.
~Fwoosh!
Hearing the sound of something fast cutting the air, he went low for a slide, it felt as if time had slowed down, he saw a the body of the chopper, folded like a can of soda, passing mere centimeters in front of him, springing up to his feet, he swerved to the left, running pass the reckage of the chopper, his breathe starting to rag,
He could hear the screams of those behind him but he could not afford to be delayed,
~Help!
~Ahhhh!
He could see people in the streets crushed under collapsed buildings, he could hear them crying out in pain, and calling out for help, but if there was one thing his days as the heavenly demon could afford him, was mental fortitude, he was not easily swayed by his emotions, he could tell he couldn't save them and trying to help would only make him die with them instead, so he ran.
"Bastard! Do you even have a heart, help"
"help me please I don't want to die "
" you will die a horrible death, heartless baatard"
When they saw he running pass them, some threw insult in spite some tried to appeal to his emotions, but it was all for noth, his emotions couldn't be swayed by the likes, once he made up his mind, he spent years in slaughter and blood shed this level of tragedy was nothing to him.
He continued running, he was close he could see it, he could see soldiers in front, he just needed to run for four more meters he would make it into the bunker, but like everything in life, expectations doesn't always happen.
~Crash!
He had to stop dead on his tracks, the silhouette of a huge ghoul beast, landed two meters ahead of him, with a crash.
