Screee! Lucy had tried his best to stop him self from running into the huge silhouette in front of him.
Coming to a stop, he looked at the creature that had just crash landed, it a giant class ghoul beast, a wyrven, he took a right turn trying to find a different route to the bunker,
When humanity started their conquest of the stars, they built bunkers beneath the earth, at first the project hit a snag, they couldn't find a way to resolve the issue of heat, so they failed, it wasn't until humanity found a way to generate power through the heat that it was realized, so humanity built bunkers throughout the world, with different entrance in different cities throughout the world, that leads to one central, bunker at the bottom of the Pacific, this bunkers could be dubbed as space craft,
They were built in case anything ever happens to the earth, that could lead to the extinction of human kind, so he knew if he could make it to the next city, he could find another entrance to the bunker, but first he needed to find a place to rest for a couple of minutes.
.........
Some where, a room with lots of screens, displaying the figures of the aspirants, people could be seen pointing at screens and having a discussion, they were the LUX academy teachers, and student council president, and vice president.
Amelia had her eyes on only the figure of her younger brother, seeing him run the way he did, surprised her, she thought with his delicate physique, he would fail, and the family would have to donate a substantial amount to Lux to buy him a spot but, looking at his figure, she knew it wasn't needed.
"when did you become that strong brother " she muttered quietly to her self, looking around the room she wasn't the only one stunned by his performance, with how frail he is, they couldn't be blamed for not having that much faith in him,
But he wasn't the only one who grabbed their attention, looking at Clara who already made it into the bunker, already taking charge of the crowd, and a youngster helping people along the way,
Many of them thought it stupid but many found it brave, but the thought they all shared in common was that the world needed more of this kind of soldiers, they aren't suitable to lead, but as soldiers, there is no greater choice, there sense of duty would make them fight with everything they had.

(Clara POV before the tear in the sky)
Immediately after making my way, away from the others, I headed for the closest bunker to our current location,
I looked back to see them still standing there, like fools, Lucy made his way after me but he wasn't heading for the bunker instead he was moving further away from it.
"fool! The others couldn't be blamed for their ignorance, but you're a member of the great house, it's not my problem " Clara muttered to her self quickening her steps. She walked a couple of distance before reaching the bunker, not entering, she found a cafe stuff her self, she knew after the commotion everyone would be confused, and despairing, not thinking of food, so she decided to stuff her self, and at same time gather provision, because even if the government provides provisions it wouldn't be enough for everyone to eat their fill, so it was better in a way to gather provision before the it began, having eaten her fill, she was about to leave when an employee of the cafe came,
"that one hundred dollar miss, would you be paying...." he wasn't even done with his speech before an embarrassed Clara slammed his head unto the table.
'money I totally forgot about it' she thought with reddened cheeks.
"what! a dine and dasher"
"But she is so pretty"
"don't let looks deceive you, from the looks of it she is experienced, probably dine and dashed a lot"
"Yeah you are right she didn't even hesitate slamming that guys head into the table"
Clara who listened to what the diners were saying was so embarrassed she couldn't speak, when had she the Princess of the Lumen house suffered so much embarrassment, hurrying out of the cafe, but the security at the counter already tripped the alarm, so immediately she stepped out, a cop was already waiting for her outside.
"stop little Missy" outside a sleazy looking cop spoke, standing in front of Clara, blocking her way,
Clara seeing the cop before her tried to explain,
"I would pay for it the next time I visit the store, I just forgot my wallet "
" Yeah, yeah, come with me miss" he said trying to grabb her arm, but the next thing he knew he saw a rapidly enlarging fist approach his face,
Bang!
Looking at the cop on the floor, she turned to the cafe screaming I will pay next time, before taking the gun from the passed out cop body, and heading for a convenience store,
The cafe staff were speechless, so shameless, how could someone that pretty be so shameless.
Just leaving the convenience store with the staff, manning the counter looking like he had seen all of life misery, the corner of his eye looked at his colleague who was passed out on the floor foaming at the mouth.
Clara with a big backpack full of provisions, she had just finished robb... Cough borrowing from the convenience store when the announcement came in.
[citizens of New York move to the closest bunker nearest to you, I repeat this is not a drill........]
"well then it's time " she said heading to the bunker.
