The cool chilly woodland breeze rushed through my hair as I hanged on the face of the clif. My mountain climbing gear was not the most healthy, but it got me around pretty faster than most climbers, only one person on the enter scout team was better than me... Sarah Hyland.
Her beauty was equal to the amount of skill she displayed. I've always wanted to show her up ever since we were kids, our pointless little rivals were what made us close.
The only difference is that she turned sixteen and I'm going to be eighteen, so you know exactly what that means, boyfriends. She's got a really nosey, bossy, pig faced boyfriend by the name of Paul Resten. As you can already tell I don't really like the guy...so seeing us together in the same place is not a really common sight.
Our little city's called Little Darth located on an island that's found on the Indian ocean. Not many people know of this place so it's kinda interesting when we get visitors.
" Hey little mis executive order! if your going to rush to the top before everyone else at least leave a clare view of the peak for us ", I said and she responded by saying " was that your sorry excuse of a burn...well if it was, you need some work. Ohh and by the way I've got you a gas mask", " Why?", I asked.
" I felt bad because you must be getting tired of eating my fumes", she said before laughing.

Hey there my name is Marcus and how did things get so dark, horrible, lonely. This was once a beautiful house... sun shining, children smiling, my family Mom, Dad, Migo, Itarogon...all of them gone. These monsters took my family and only mine, they all called us crazy simply because they didn't see them... mutated monsters that emerged from benith our house.
" How is the living room, anything yet?", I asked Migo " not yet, it's been ten hours and twelve minutes since we've seen an AT. I'm starting to think they've found another way out of the ground".
" That would be terrific now wouldn't it.. Imagine someone else having to do what we do; forced to stay in doors based on the fact that mutant animal abominations breached a hole in there basement, that would provide access to a place of nightmares", I said before Migo responded by saying " Ohhh were they would be forced to have fun by classing the ATs into ranks, species, classes and threat levels".
A noise echoed from the basement as though something had found it's way into the house. We waited for the creator to reveal it's self, slowly a snout rose from the seller door and as it revealed it's face we both recognized it as a 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉;
- a six limbed rodent that was about the size of a raccoon. It had an exoskeleton skull with compound eyes and an armored tail kind of like an insect. Rank\= 1, Species\= An, Class\= Bottom, T.L\= Spark.
My heart beat louder as she got closer to me, my mind wasn't ready for this life changing event, she raised her arm with my piece of paper in her palm and she said " Migo Bradley, you get an A+, congratulations you scored the best in the hall school".
All my sleepless nights finally payed off, trust me when I tell you it wasn't easy to get Marcus to help with my homework, but it was all worth the hustle. I couldn't wait to see the looks on Mom and Dad's faces, maybe then they can look at me the way they look at Itarogon.
The world was in my hands and I was ready for it all. Marcus was out on his rock climbing activity today and Itarogon was home with Mom and Dad. Mom being an archaeologist was always studying and dusting while my scientist Dad was usually held up in the house laboratory.

Hello my name is Migo and this is my share of the nightmare.
All I felt was joy...a rare creature to the world, but nothing more than a pest to us. Marcus pick up a weapon Itarogon invented specifically for firing out nets, he aimed at the Ratroach before softly exhaling and pulling the trigger.
The net rushed through the air and opened up ready to catch it, but the extraordinary mutant with lightning fast reflexes drilled into the ground, cause a perfectly useless shot. This was bad! with no idea were it was we blinding stumped around,
" Hey Marcus, do you think we should call him?", " NOT BY A LONG SHOT! this is gonna be my catch", Marcus said as it broke though the ground we stood on.
Marcus gripped it will both arms by the neck, with hope of pinning it down, but the AT was just too hyperactive, it struggled with him desperately trying to free it's self from his death grip. My body wasn't as large as his so I would just get in the way, an idea crossed my mind though. I grabbed the Net cannon, but without a net I had to think quick.
So I shoved a rock into it, before aiming for it's head...my brain silenced as my eyes zeroed onto the target.
I fired!
with a speeding rock to the head the Ratroach was knocked unconscious.
My heart was not on beat after that drama, I dropped to my knees to catch my breath. Little did I know that something was sited right behind me, I felt a powerful jet of air rush passed my shoulders. The AT then held my shoulders like a person, my fear was that, it would drag me to the basement and my elder brother wasn't going to fast enough to save me.
So I smiled at him and said bye.
BANG!
A cannon shot echoed though the room, I turned to see the captured AT in a black net and standing by the door way was the eldest Bradley. Itarogon!
The beauty of a job well done is all I thrive for. My most recent invention was a device that incorporated history and Biology...on one hand it was a thermo scanner used to search through the ground and the other hand it was a carbon content scaler.
My two idiot brothers were out, Marcus was busy looking for a girlfriend at that mountain climbing garbage platform. Migo, I honestly couldn't think of him doing anything along... maybe today's the day he surprise's me.
" Itarogon, how is the invention going? " Mom asked me as she rustled my perfectly neat hair.
"Mom I'm not a child anymore I'm seventeen so I think a little respect is needed", "The thing you'll be getting is some more free time. Itarogon, don't you ever get lonely...of course teens your age have goals and reason to hang around each other", Mom said to me.
"Teens of any generation disgust me!
They are simply just sexually active monsters that feed there fuels with an necessary drug usage or pointless over excitement to music and nudity. So I'm not a fan", "Your wife is going to be a wonder woman", "Mother don't be ridiculous...I'm not getting married at all", I said.
" You do realize that every great man in history had a woman by his side hmmmm...", " well clearly there visions weren't as perfectly executed as they planned".

My name is Itarogon Bradley and for the past three months my two brothers and I have been trying find out what happened to our parents. My theory is that an AT big enough to carry a man dragged them into a subterranean word that's underneath the island...I know it sounds like something ten year old would say but believe you me there are monsters here.
" I can't leave you two dust brains to complete one simple task now can I? come on grab the AT and let's lock it. We should have been ready hours ago, the sun's almost set", I said to my two idiot brothers.
The sun was a key player in our survival, but once that orange star sets our house becomes a battle field...ATs of different species come out to hunt for us. In the passed all we could do was run and pray for the sun to raise, but then your's truly derived a way to fight ATs with ATs and I called it Battle Field House Attack.
" Okay boys you know how it goes, pick a Key bangle; each has three locks on it thus your AT has Three attacks it uses. Remember each attack has a damage count, the higher the count the more damage can be inflicted.
Once you've used all your locks you no longer have control over the AT. Clear! ", I explained.
BANG!
The floor I stood on popped to splinters. The sight of Migo laying unconsciously on the ground was disturbing. Two other Armadillats rushed to him. Pathetic.
