“Nnnn... Can't I sleep in Mom?? It's the weeeeekend” Usagi whined. As far as she was concerned, for the moment being she didn't ever want to wake up. "Usagi, you get down here right now!!" her mother impatiently demanded. Usagi's eyes shot open and she worriedly looked around. That tone... Did she forget what day it was?? “--Coming, Mom!!” Usagi replied, slipping out of bed and lamely getting dressed for school. Better safe than sorry. Quickly packing her bag in hopes she could fool her mother into thinking she had been ready to go, so rushed downstairs to greet her only to find that it was pretty dark out, and her mother was staring out the window. Hold on, something wasn't right here. It clearly wasn't time for school. “...Mom? What's up?” Usagi asked in confusion. Her mother pointed out the window. "Look..."
Usagi looked out the window. The street was dimly lit, with a few strange people walking around, carrying weapons of various sorts. Some of them makeshift, others guns. Usagi's eyes widened in alarm. What... was going on? Those people looked filthy. One of them was drinking as they walked. She cringed slightly at the scene, turning back to her mother. “Mom, is something happening?” Usagi nervously asked. "...We need to hide. Those people are looking for trouble." Usagi's mother explained.
“What about Dad?” Usagi asked. "Your father is setting things up in the basement. We're going to need to lay low and quiet for a while, okay?" her mother explained. However, Usagi's eyes were fixated on something going on in the background. A monstrous humanoid figure appeared under the light near the disgruntled thugs. “Mom, look..!” Usagi murmured, gesturing. The creature stood at a massive twelve feet tall when it stood up straight and was built like a bear, featuring a massive mouth full of sharp teeth. Usagi's pupils sharply contracted as the creature lunged for one of the thugs, grabbing them and swallowing them whole with a couple of quick bites. She could hear the screams and rather disgusting crunches from indoors. Oh... Oh no... The other thugs began to attack the demon, however Usagi's mother quickly pulled her in close and spirited her away from the scene.
Next thing Usagi knew, she was downstairs in the basement with her parents, who had barricaded the door shut. Deeply disturbed by what she'd seen, she sat curled into a ball on the ground next to her mother. Her parents were softly talking about the internet and phone services being down. About how they weren't sure what was going on. Why was this happening? Usagi shook her head before burying it in her knees.
...Throughout the night, they heard creaking and thumps from people invading their home. But thankfully none seemed too interested in the basement. Usagi couldn't sleep knowing that strangers or maybe even monsters were so close. She kept imagining herself getting gobbled up like that thug. A shiver ran down her spine. Luna was curled up nearby, silent in the presence of her parents. For once, Usagi didn't get the impression that Luna wanted her to go out there and fight. She was just kind of minding her own business, chilling out. Perhaps she knew something Usagi didn't.
Eventually, Usagi attempted to distract herself and discovered something. A wifi network..? But her parents said... “Mom? Dad? I found internet...” Usagi remarked. "Oh I don't know whose that is, Usagi." her mother replied, somewhat skeptical that the network would be open. Yet, it was. So Usagi connected to it. This immediately opened her phone's web browser to a web page, a section of which asked her a simple question. Do you need rescue? ...Well, that was pretty convenient. She pressed the button and her phone began to make dialing noises. She only wondered who exactly it was that she was calling...
You begin your mission on the outskirts of the city. Reminder: This entire city is underground. You would be blind without the street lights or another form of light.
