Yuki Arakaki

[Charo]

September 22nd, 806 A.S.
Planet Kyushu, string of islands around the equator

Yuki grew up in the research facility she was sent to at the age of 1, she is now 11. Not knowing her mother very well, who stayed on Honshu, as she could not afford to move with her daughter. She knew her father even less, who got in trouble with the Hogosha a few years after her birth, and 'mysteriously disappeared'.

It was a typical quiet Kyushu morning in the housing part of the facility.

"Yuki-chan! Time to get up, it's getting late!" Suzuki pounded on the door leading to Yuki's room. *Yawns* "Hai, coming Suzuki-sama!" Yuki quickly jumps out of bed, and throws on the closest pair of pants and shirt. She then runs to the door, and throws it open. "Alright Yuki-chan, today we have the day off, so what should we do?" "Hmm..how about the beach?" *She smiles* "That sounds like a wonderful idea! Now go get your stuff ready and we can go!" Yuki ran around the room, gathering up everything she could think of needing. After 10 minutes, she was finally ready. "Hai, let's go!" Yuki and Suzuki ran out the door, and across the facility grounds, eventually finding themselves in the research wing, closest to the exit. They walked silently while walking through, but Yuki's curiosity finally got the best of her. "Hey, Suzuki-sama, why am I here?" "Where, this research place?" Yuki nods. *Sighs* "Because you showed advanced brain patterns when you were an infant, and they brought you here to see why."
"And what have they-" Suddenly, a bomb strikes a nearby building, and both are thrown to the ground. "Attention all personnel, Blood Dragons are attacking the facility, take cover and prepare to defend!" "Yuki-chan, are you alright?!" "H..hai, what just happened" "A bomb, quickly, we have to go! Follow me!" Suzuki grabs Yuki's arm, pulling her from the floor, and starts running down the hallway. "W..where are we going?"
"My ship, we have to get out of here before they completely destroy this place!" They turn down a corridor, quickly finding themselves outside in the bright sunshine. A couple of the surrounding buildings lie in ruins, and firefights can be seen across the island. Eventually, the two find themselves outside Suzuki's Drone freighter. Unknown to them, a Dragon was following. "Yuki-chan! Get into the ship now! Before the Dragons come!" "Too late" Stood behind them was a Dragon in full battle gear. He held a pistol in each hand, both aimed at Suzuki. "You should know better then to experiment on children, and you shall pay the price for it." Suzuki pushes Yuki into the freighter, spinning around and drawing a pistol from her jacket. She aims the gun at the Dragon, and pulls the trigger, hitting him square in the chest. The Dragon falls to the ground, managing to hit Suzuki once in the stomach before slamming into the dirt. Suzuki falls backwards into the ship, the door slamming shut behind her. Yuki sits against the opposite wall, staring at Suzuki in disbelief. "Y..Yuki-chan.." "Hai....?" "That button...console, big and green. Press it..." Yuki nods, running over to the console, and pressing the green button. The Drone lifts from the ground, and soon finds itself in space, a direct course for New Tokyo.
