War has been waged. Russia has finally took over Ukraine, with the help of China. Both countries riding on their high of victory wanting to experience it some more. They make their next attack on a powerhouse of the U.S, Guam. China decides to not alert anyone of the doom that is to head over toward the small Island. The U.S can sense it though. two days before the war happened the president of the U.S evacuated any and all U.S marines, soldiers, anyone that had any correlations to the U.S military.
1 DaysBefore
Kai: "Dude did you hear... Ukraine lost."
A short teen, with his hair bleached, short hair. wearing a jacket instead of the regular school administrated uniforms.
Students dressed in White and blue colored uniforms all roaming the halls of the large school.
Warren: "Yeah, I heard that too."
The taller of the two. His hair buzzed to an inch off of his head. Wearing the school uniform in a tidy fashion, with not as much as a wrinkle in his cloths.
Three boys walks together in a line Warren on the left, Kai on the right. Jasper in the the middle, though Jasper looks like a girl.
Warren: "Yeah, dude I was up late one night you know..."
Warren does a indecent gesture, making his hand into a circle and going up and down.
Warren: "... when it popped up on my notification area that Ukraine had been the loser."
Jasper: "Shit, sorry black out for a second... The war. Yeah heard about it. My mom said we might move, my dad kinda second it, because you know if you have the pus in the relationship you win the arguments."
Jasper has his hair long down to his shoulder, he's a natural blond with blue eyes. Most of the time he doesn't even wear his uniform.
In the school the uniform is optional but most of the kids wear it because they don't know what to wear.
Jasper voice doesn't really compliment the fact that he's a girl though. His voice is deep. Not extremely but enough to know that he's a guy.
Behind them is a kid also dressed in a button up and a tie, a black kid that has the physique of Drake bell and nothing that amazing about him but the fact that he is one of the top students in the school, yet still unsociable.
Salem: 'Can't these guys go any faster..? Why is there even a lot of people in the hallway right now anyway... GO TO CLASS!'
The thoughts well in his mind as the three boys don't speed up but jst hold him behind.
Nothing that special about the guy. He's isn't the best looking guy. His hair is nappy and a good amount of time his skin care isn't the best. His posture isn't all that amazing, plus with his social skills, if he even has some, he doesn't really talk.
The curls in his hair are not the best, at all. After school if he isn't at work, with a hat on ruining his hair, he watches his brother after school.
His work down at the mayors office helps him out with his moms bills, and the debt left behind by his father.
Salem: 'I work after this too... I wish I could just take a break and stop dealing with shit like this day after day...'
Kai: "Bro aren't you guys scared that Russia and China might come for us..?"
Warren: "Why would you even try and wish that?"
His face looks confused at Kai as he finishes his sentence. The same goes for Jasper.
Jasper: "It doesn't really matter now... He already said it."
Jasper pulls a watch to his face a very expensive looking watch but not extravagant.
Jasper: "Shit guys, we are going to be late for class..."
Now the three boys have picked up the pace, not running nor jogging, but moving faster while still maintaining a walking pace.
Salem: "Finally..."
The words slip out of his mouth with out him knowing.
Salem is visibly embarrassed by it. He lifts his head away from the ground to look around the hallway that is full of students to see if anyone heard. Luckily for him, no one heard.
RINGGGG!!
That's the school bell.
Salem: 'Nice, Just made it... But work yesterday left me so tired. I might catch a few Z's while Mrs. Vern talks about the human body.'
Making his way to his chair weaving past all the other students that are doing the same. He goes around the other side of the chair to get to the opening area of the seat and sits down.
Salem: 'Sun today is bright.'
That's a thought that goes though his mind along with his day yesterday.
The work yesterday was difficult. There was a couple that was trying to stop him from cutting up some trees across the street of their house. Saying they own it but they didn't really have any possible way to show that they did own it and the mayor already gave the go ahead.
Vern: "Okay everyone. Today you wont really need notes just try and pay attention to what I'm going to say."
Vern turns away from class and she starts writing something on the board.
Salem: 'Great, this might be easy class so Imma put my head down for a few moments.'
Salem puts his arms together for a makeshift pillow. Putting his head on top of it and before long his eye grow heavy and he drifts off into his sleep.
He dreams, a weird dream. A dream that's weird but the feeling feels so realistic.
Salem wakes standing, hearing a voice.
***: "Salem, you have been chosen for the power of the Phoenix. The bird of Wonder."
Salem: "What? Who is here."
He looks around a little more noticing that the dream isn't the usual black and white dreams, like old television color, that he usually has. He's in a field completely enveloped in fire. Everywhere he looks is just flames, but the heat isn't burning him.
***: "Humanity has reached a point in time where it is evil. You will be bestowed about the power of the Phoenix. Given to you from a predecessor dating back millennials."
Salem: "Who is here?"
Salem looks around the field of flame but can't find anything, anyone. Any indication that someone, Something is speaking to him.
***: "The power your's, however you use it depends on your life. Though with time there will be a threat to your entire life as you know it."
Salem: "Wait... what... a threat to my life...? What does that even mean for me? I still have questions I want to be answered."
Soon Salem feels his body grow hotter. The flames must be getting to him now. It starts off calmly at first before he eventually ends up getting to a heat so hot that he feels his skin tear, but it doesn't.
Salem: "Help..... Help ME!"
The heat persists. His body turning on and off inside of himself. Time seems to go on forever.
Soon the heat transfers to one area of his body. A glowing red heat with a tattoo insignia ranging from his legs up toward his stomach.
The style of the tattoo is in the form of a flame. A flame that stays red and burn his body. It's so hot and the feeling is completely different from actually getting a tattoo. More like a high pressured, single point flame thrower is pointed at him.
Salem: "Please, stop... It hurts.."
His eye try to give off tears but they just end up being burned off by the flames. His mucus that comes out as well. If not for the intense heat. He would be ugly crying along with clawing at himself.
***: "The power of the Phoenix has transferred. You will return."
Soon the heat end and is slowly replaced with the feeling of someone shaking him awake.
Jasper: "Bro, are you okay..? You're crying and asking for help..."
Jasper's blond hair shines in the light that is coming through the window.
