Transformation: What about our world?
Introduction
Load Full StoryNext ChapterMy name is Zoey; I am 17 1/2 years old born in America moved to Japan when I was 6. I am an only child in my family. My dad is a nuclear worker at the plant, and my mother is a teacher teaching English to Japanese students. I have attended an elementary school in Japan and it was very different. Kindergarten in America was fun you could do anything you want, but when I transferred to the Japanese system in Japan it was totally different.
What was different is that I was limited of what I could play with. Meaning my teachers were assholes. I got to the first grade and learned Japanese. I had some Japanese friends and they stick with me ever since and now were together in high school as freshmen. It was the most wonderful time I had ever had. Then life had to interrupt our school life with decisions. You see when you are 16 in Japan you need to work to get into a college to get on with life. At least that is what I got from my parents and they told me they can transfer me to a United State Air Base School. I decided not to go, and make the experience my own.
I made a lot of friends in Japan and only three friends just stick to me like glue. Naki my BBF has been with me for a long time and has helped me when I was in situations. Hatchi who is a boy that basically is a huge nerd to anime and some shows in America, when I see a show I want to see I want his total opinion. Reason why is because he watches every single show that has come out. He reads summaries of each show and watches them and re-evaluate the summery to its full truth. You might say Naki has a crush on him therefore; she loved nerds. Finally is my crush named Gaitou; he is into sports, go figure, and he hangs out with us. The reason is unknown, but he gets along with my friends. When Gaitou wants a TV show about sports Hatchi would give him the current or older show that he would like in particular.
Next thing is what happened in 2012. Oh boy did Hatchi explode with happiness. When I heard about it I was shocked. Japan was dubbing my little pony that was released in America. Why was it so popular to America and now Japan? I just do not get it. When I asked Hatchi about this he told me that most adults liked the show. I was like excuse me? Adults? A show for little girls attracted to adults? That is bullshit! When he showed me the forum on this website, again I was shocked. What is society turning into? I still did not want to believe in this none sense. Then my little pony hit YouTube like a truck. Nothing, but countless pony videos, pony songs made by dedicated people who love the show. I was outraged, I almost threw my laptop out the window because it made me mad. I thought it was a fad maybe it will disappear. ‘Yeah that is it.’ I thought.
Four fucking years and nothing has changed. My little pony is going into season 5! What the fuck?! The fandom grew bigger and Hatchi has converted into a premature Brony. I am against Bronies, but my friend is the exception. He respects my opinion and does not force me to watch anything. Japan was peaceful until my little pony everywhere. How did a reboot of a 80's show gets so fucking popular? I had so many other things to do other than to see this hell hole become bigger. I wish the world would just end…
The exact words ‘I wish the world would just end.’ Came true. Krakatoa erupted causing Mount Fuji to erupt. My parents put me in a fridge because it was a custom fridge. What it had made it a survival tool. What it had was an air supply, a titanium casing surrounding the frame, a food supply and other items. Three fucking days I had to wait until the locking mechanism could sense that the ash cloud dissipate. My parents died in the ash cloud making them turn into lifeless sculptures such as the dead people in Pompeii.
I was in deep depression because of my parent’s death. I collected my survival items uncovered a bag and pack my things. I just walked to my friends' house; luckily they were lucky as me. Hatchi, Gaitou and Naki survived in the same kind of fridge.
We had to get out of our town, but the thing is it is going to be hard as hell. Sure the town buildings are still standing and we found each other, but the road is flushed with the ground. Besides if we needed to find survivors we needed to hike Mount Fuji to get to the other side. This is so we can find help. Ha! What help…? There was nobody except for us four. We check other houses and the survival fridge were empty. No other children survived and we continued to hike around Mount Fuji to find more survivors and to find help.
While we were hiking, we never spoke to one another, but I spoke to Hatchi he was filling out statistics on his tablet about the volcanoes around the world. He was getting news from satellite internet. Usually when something important came about Japan he would turn up the volume.
Then a news report came in that colder temperatures would come down to zero degrees due to the ash cloud. Sunset will be around ten degrees. ‘In the summer? Now I know were going to get into trouble. We are going to freeze to death.’ I thought.
We managed to get to the other side and we were about 20 to 30 feet away from a lake that was covered in ash. We were cold, hungry, exhausted, thirsty, and I know that was what my friends were feeling. Then the Earth started to shake.
An earthquake happening and next thing I knew my friends were running for our lives. I managed to escape under the ash mixed water and dodged death itself. Luckily I had a scuba mouth piece with a mini air tank. So I put that on to stay underwater for a while.
‘How did this happen?’ I thought.
What was I supposed to do? Lead a crowd to survival; that I cannot even do that. The people who stick with me were my friends. Now they are statues on top of what was Mount Fuji. The ash cloud from above was not clearing and this mini air tank was going to die out. I cannot see what was in the water and I could not see my friends. I had not to believe that they are statues on Mount Fuji.
Well its either death by ash cloud or drown in ash mixed water. Then something was sparkling down at the bottom. I decided to go down to the glowing crystal and I grabbed it out of the ash covered goop. I looked at my gauge and it was empty. Shit. At least I will die with this beautiful crystal and being rich for a short 30 seconds.
The next thing I knew, the crystal glowed even more like the sun, but no as hot. I was then engulfed in light.
