15 years ago a baby was born to a couple that had nothing special about them other than that their families were acquainted with several Proxies through out the ages.

This baby was so beautiful and pure that the couple cried tears of joy when they saw her.

This baby had an older brother and a sister who also seemed to love her dearly. This baby grew up to become a very adorable little girl who had a satisfying life.

That was until one day when her mother and her father got into an argument in front of her.

She doesn’t remember what the argument was about, but she remembered that both her parents were really angry at each other.

As she was used to a fun and peaceful environment, the little girl was naturally frightened.

The argument with her parents got so hated that her father pushed her mother, which caused her to slip and hit her head.

When the little girl saw that her mind blanked.

The next thing she knew she was standing surrounded by the rubbles of her home and the blood of her family who loved her so much.

This was Bloom Newgate’s first time using her ability.

District 2.

There were several facilities there that specialized on the study of Infecteds. In one of these facilities a group of people in lab coats were around a conference table looking over data on a tablet.

“An entire apartment building was flatten by a 5 year old. That's some power.”

One of the people said with an impressed tone.

“Including her family, a total of 27 people died. Excluding her no one in the building survived.”

Another said.

“Her ability is?”

“From the data we’ve collected the gravitational force surrounding the building went haywired moments before it was flatten.”

“Gravity Manipulation? That’s a rare ability.”

One said with a hint of surprise.

Another nodded.

“Even gravity magic is hard to learn much less master by itself. Her power is too valuable. We must find a way to mass produce it.”

Everyone in the room nodded together.

“Where’s the girl now?”

“She’s in the custody of the enforcers. They’re troubled on how to handle her.”

“Great. Get possession of her as soon as possible, use any means necessary.”

After the incident where her powers manifested and killed her family, five year old Bloom changed from a perky little girl to an empty husk.

When she was questioned by the law enforcers she didn’t say a word and just sat there with a traumatized look on her face.

Troubled about what to do, the enforcers decided to move her to a hospital to get a mental check up.

It was while she was being transferred there via a van, that an incident happened.

*pop!*

The tires of the van carrying her suddenly burst which caused it to spin out of control until the emergency break system kicked in.

Before the enforcers who were driving could exit the van and check what happened they were hit with tranquilizers which immediately rendered them immobile.

A group of people wearing black uniforms and carrying high powered weapons appeared out of nowhere.

They quickly surrounded the van and opened the back were Bloom was being held.

“Bloom Newgate, come with us.”

One of them spoke.

When bloom saw the guns, as a 5 year old who grew up in a peaceful environment she was naturally frightened.

“Nooo!”

*Boom!*

The entire area suddenly started shaking as giant cracks started appearing in the ground and the surrounding buildings.

“Quick! The suppressant!”

The men moved and aimed their guns at Bloom.

That was the biggest mistake they could’ve ever made.

“Ahhhhhh!”

*Boom!*

With a scream bloom’s powers increased in intensity.

Everything on the ground started getting uprooted. Whether it were buildings, vehicles or people everything started floating in the air.

“Ahhhhh!”

With a wail everything that was floating began to be compressed like paper balls.

“Guahhh?!”

The men who came for her were quickly turned into balls of meat, while buildings were turned into rubbles.

The destruction caused by the crying bloom started to quickly spread like wild fire.

At this rate she would destroy everything in the district.

It was at that moment that a dart hit bloom in her neck.

Her vision instantly became fuzzy and her body collapsed.

Everything that was floating in the air fell on to the earth, including the freshly made meat balls.

“Target neutralized.”

About 2 miles away, a sniper looked at Bloom through his scope.

He had been the one who shot Bloom with the suppressant which sealed off her powers.

“Go and retrieve the package and leave before the enforcers arrive.”

After saying so the sniper put away their weapon and left.

Shortly after new men in black came and placed bloom in a van and quickly left the scene.

When bloom came to she was in a white room strapped to a table.

Scared out of her mind she started screaming and struggling.

“Help! Help me!”

She screamed as loud as she could, but nothing happened.

The cursed power that took her family from her and caused her misfortune didn’t appear.

This made her a bit glad, but after remembering her situation she quickly fell into despair.

She started crying once again, until she heard a door opened.

“Oh, she’s awake.”

Several people wearing lab coats came walking in.

“Hello there, Bloom Newgate.”

One of them stepped out and spoke to Bloom with a caring smile on her face.

“W-Who are you? Where am I?”

Bloom asked while trembling in fear.

“We’re your new family.”

“Family?”

“Yes. You can think of all of us here as your parents.”

“Parents?”

Bloom started recalling her parents fates after hearing that.

At the corner of the room a chair started vibrating and would occasionally hover a few inches off the ground before falling back to the earth.

Seeing that, the woman quickly took out a syringe from under her sleeve and stabbed it into Bloom’s arm.

Bloom’s mind instantly became fuzzy and her body became numb.

“That's just to make sure you relax. Don’t worry, as long you’re here we’ll help you keep that power that you hate so much under control.”

Said the woman.

She then turned around to leave with the rest of the people in lab coats.

“You may begin. I don’t care how much she suffers just make sure you keep her alive long enough to reproduce her ability.”

The door opened up and people in surgical uniforms walked in wearing plastic gloves and face masks.

“Yes, ma’am.”

The woman nodded in approval and she and the other people in lab coat left.

“Let’s get started.”

The men surrounded the table. One of them took out a remote and pressed it while pointing at Bloom.

In an instant Bloom was striped naked as if her clothes had exploded.

“Okay. For now let’s test how her body reacts to pain.”

The man then pressed another button and spikes suddenly erected out of the table and stabbed into Bloom’s arms.

“Ahhhhhh!”

The sudden pain caused her to scream out in agony.

She twisted her body as she wailed.

“Hm….her body seems have the regenerative abilities of a normal human.”

One of the men said as he examined Bloom’s wounds.

“Her powers?”

“The gravitational field we’ve set up showed signs of distortion the moment she screamed.”

“So her ability goes out of control along with her emotions like a normal Infected.”

“There go the hopes of being her an abnormal.”

The men discussed while dismissing Bloom’s sobbing voice.

“Okay. Lets get a look at her anatomy.”

The man pressed another button and a machine with several blades and drills came out of the roof and hung over Bloom.

She trembled in fear while staring at the machine.

“Noooo! Mommy! Daddy! Somebody help me!”

She started screaming.

“Remember if you need ear plugs just ask.”

The man said.

“No earplugs? Okay, let’s begin.”

He pressed a button and the machine descended on Bloom and started to pierce, cut, and skinned her.

This was how Bloom spent her first two years of being experimented on.

When she was 7 years old, Bloom was finally allowed to leave the table she was tied to and brought to a different room.

“Huh?”

She was surprised to see other kids running around playing in the room.

“This is where we keep kids with special abilities like you.”

Said the woman who headed the facility. Bloom didn’t know her name, she only knew that everyone called her Chief.

“You can think of these kids as your brothers and sisters. Go along, go play.”

She said as she gently pushed Bloom’s back.

Despite being tied to a table for so long, blooms body was kept as health as possible so that she wouldn’t die from the experiments. Because of this she had no problem walking.

Being left in a room filled with strange children, Bloom was extremely timid.

She immediately went to a corner and silently sat there and watched the other children.

Even while sitting down Bloom couldn’t help but tremble while wondering when will she return to the terrifying white room and the table.

“Hey.”

Hearing a voice Bloom looked up and saw a girl standing in front of her.

The girl looked to be around 9, had pink hair, a cute face and two different colored eyes, pink and gold.

“Are you the S ranked specimen that I heard so much about, Bloom Newgate?”

The girl asked.

After much hesitation, Bloom nodded.

“Wow! I’ve always wanted to meet you!"

The girl suddenly became excited and grabbed Bloom’s hand.

Bloom flinched and dragged her hand back from her.

Seeing Bloom’s rejection, the girl didn’t get angry and smile.

“Oh, I’m sorry. This must be your first time coming out of that white room. I was like you too when I just came out.”

“….You were put inside that room too?”

The girl nodded.

“S rank specimen like us will always go through such treatments before being released to mingle with rest of the children.”

“S rank specimen? Then you’re….?”

The girl beat her chest.

“I’m Marionette. I’m a S rank specimen like you. You can just call me Mari.”

“Mari?”

Mari nodded.

“By the way, my ability is Storm Bringer. I can create hurricanes, tornadoes, and super storms. Pretty cool, right?”

“…..Yea.”

Bloom nodded awkwardly.

Mari then continued to speak with Bloom until she was successfully able to make her relax.

The two quickly became friends and spent most of their time out of being experimented on, together.

Years passed and two became so close that they were like sisters who depended on each other’s existence.

One day bloom realized that other than herself Mari didn’t associate with the rest of the children and asked her reason for doing so.

“Why would I associate myself with them? They’re inferior to me in every way, and they can’t understand my pain like you do.”

She replied.

Bloom was slightly shocked, but she knew that this was just how Mari was. She considered herself an elite and Bloom as the only equal around her.

Bloom didn’t know how she came to have such a mindset but she believed that it stemmed from all the experiments she’s experienced.

Time continued to flow.

Everyday Bloom would get her body dissected for 8 hours, stitched back up for a hour, and spent the rest of the day with Mari.

Although it was a terrible life, Mari’s existence made living enjoyable.

However this all changed when Mari suddenly had a mental breakdown.

It happened one day when a silhouette of a man appeared in front of Mari and Bloom in the middle of the night.

The man didn’t pay Bloom any attention, he only stared at Mari before stooping down to her level and whisper something in her ear.

The silhouette disappeared almost simultaneously, leaving Mari and Bloom.

“Mari, what just-”

“Bloom, I’m sorry.”

Before Bloom could asked what just happened Mari cut her off and looked at her with tears in her eyes.

*Boom!*

That’s when a burst of wind blew Bloom away. She hit a wall and was rendered unconscious.

When she came to again she saw a horrid scene.

All of children she would always see happily playing with each other were torn to shreds.

Their body parts were scattered all over the place, and their blood had stained the walls and ceiling.

“What happened? Where’s Mari?”

*Boom!*

That’s when she suddenly heard an explosion.

“Mari!”

She ran out of the blood drenched room and ran down the halls. As she ran she passed multiple corpses on the ground.

*Boom!*

She heard another explosion, but this one was very close. She broke the corner.

“Stand firm! Don’t falter!”

*Boom!*

“Guah?!”

“Captain?! Die, monster!”

Bloom saw the scene of armed men firing at Mari who was surrounded by a wall of wind. The wall of wind was deflecting the attacks that were being thrown at her.

“I must destroy this place!”

*Boom!*

Mari waved her hand and it was like a hurricane appeared in the halls.

All the men were instantly killed and all of the walls were destroyed. Bloom could see the night sky for the first time in years.

However the situation didn’t allow her to appreciate how beautiful it was.

“Mari!”

“Bloom?”

Mari looked at her with dull eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something.

*Boom!*

However something exploded while hitting her back which made her fall to her knees.

“Mari!”

Bloom looked behind Mari and saw countless heavily armed men charging towards them. She looked behind her and saw the same thing.

They were surrounded.

If she hadn’t been eating food filled with Infected Suppressants this wouldn’t be a problem for her.

Now that she thought about it, she couldn’t understand how Mari was able to use her powers.

As she was trying to think of a way out of this situation, Mari suddenly went berserk.

“I will destroy this place!”

Strong bursts of wind started erupting in the buildings and attacked the men.

“Ahhhh!”

“Don’t back down! The order has been passed! We are to dispose of the S rank specimens Gravity Queen and Hurricane Child!”

“Wha?!”

Bloom was shocked to hear that they wanted to dispose of her too.

“Mari! Let’s escape together!”

She shouted.

Mari looked at her and waved her hand.

Bloom suddenly felt her body float up in the air before being blown outside the building.

“Mari!!!!”

She screamed as she was sent flying far away from the building.

Meanwhile Mari stood in the destroyed hallway surrounded by countless weapons.

Her wall of wind protected her from the normal weapons, but it couldn't stop the high powered ones like Tridents.

“Goodbye, Bloom. Live a good life.”

She whispered.

She then turned her full attention to her enemies.

“I will destroy this place and die! That is my mission!”

*BOOOOOM!*

The gust of wind that blew Bloom away didn’t stop until Bloom was blown outside of the 2nd District.

The wind gently placed her in a dark alley outside of everyone’s reach.

“Mari!”

The first thing Bloom did when her feet touched the ground was to rushed towards the direction where she came from.

She ran and ran and ran, even when she was out of breath or even when her feet started bleeding because she was barefooted, Bloom didn’t stop for a moment and continued running.

After hours of running she finally reached the entrance to the 2nd District.

As she was about to enter.

*BOOOOOOOM!*

She saw the sky suddenly rip open and something slowly descended like an ominous star.

“W-What is that?!”

Bloom shouted in shock.

It was at that time that she heard sirens echoing through the entire city.

(Warning: A XXX Class threat has suddenly appeared in city. All citizens please evacuate to the nearest shelter. I repeat, please evacuate to the nearest shelter.)

Gaia’s electronic voice echoed out as well.

At that moment a light flashed and an huge explosion occurred in the 2nd District.

“Mari!”

Bloom vision blanked out after being hit by a shockwave and passing out.

While being unconscious she saw a dream.

It was a dream set in a different world, with her living a different life without magic and Infecteds.

Even so her life in that dream was nowhere near pleasant.

She was sold out by her parents and was living a life of despair. Everyday she would wish for death but was too afraid to take her own life.

It wasn’t until she was saved by a boy far younger than her that her life turned around.

The boy had caramel skin, green eyes, and messy black hair.

The boy who had the aura of a walking corpse saved her from being soiled and spoke cold words to her.

But to her his cold behavior accompanied by his contradictory actions of looking out and protecting her made her feel needed and loved for the first time in her life.

That’s why when she heard from the boy what his goal in life was she happily suggested to use her life.

Even when he rejected the idea, she knew ways on how to convince him otherwise.

In the end she died for that boy who she loved dearly with a smile on her face, knowing that he loved her back.

The next time Bloom came to, she was restrained and gagged in the back of a vehicle.

“Mhhmmm!”

She started wiggling her body to free herself, which caught the attention of the men who were guarding her.

“Shut it and behave!”

One of them slapped her so hard it felt like her brain shifted out of place.

She fell of her seat and hit then floor.

The slap caused her ears to ring and her vision to become blurry.

“You and that Marionette caused us too much trouble! Because of that bitch going berserk we lost all of board of directors when she blew herself up!”

One of the men angrily shouted.

‘….Mari blew herself up?’

The man continued to shout but Bloom didn’t hear him a word other than something about a Tyrant attacking the city. Since she didn’t know what a Tyrant was she didn’t care.

The thought of her best friend blowing herself up sent her into the pits of despair. Especially now that she would most likely be sold to a different research facility to get experiment on.

This thought plunged her deeper into despair.

She couldn't help but to call for the boy she saw in her dream just now.

“Logan….”

*Boom!*

“What happened?!”

The vehicle carrying bloom and the men was suddenly forced to a stop by a heavy blow to the front.

“There’s someone in front of the van. My God! She’s lifting the van with one hand?!”

Bloom suddenly saw a light travel through the van floor in front of her.

*Boom!*

She then saw the van split in two and she fell out.

However instead of hitting the ground she was caught by a pair of slim arms.

When she looked up at who was holding her, she saw a beautiful person with messy black hair and gloomy black eyes.

“Logan…?”

The person in front of her immediately gave off the same feeling as the boy in her dream, so she couldn’t help but to call their name.

The person looked down at her and smile.

“I don’t know who this Logan is but sorry I’m not him.”

They put her down so that she could stand up.

“The name’s Jin Makoto. And you are?”

“….Bloom. Bloom Newgate.”

“Bloom huh? A beautiful name for such a pretty girl.”

Jin stood in front of her and shield her from the men that were approaching them from all sides.

“It will alright now, Bloom. Just leave it to me.”

He smiled at as he said that.

Bloom could see sadness behind that smile, but for some reason that smiled reminded her of the one she saw in her dream and her heart couldn’t help but to skip a beat.

“Okay, let’s make this quick before Sapphire starts nagging me.”

Jin moved and quickly neutralized the men.

It was in this manner that Bloom Newgate met Jin Makoto and soon came to love him as she loved the boy in her dream.

The two who were surrounded by a gloomy aura that made her believe that they could relate to her moved her heart without her doing anything to stop it.

It might be that her sense of love was twisted or it was because of how she grew up, she didn’t know.

But if there was one thing she was certain of, it was the fact that she loved the cold but kind boys name Logan Cross and Jin Makoto.

That was just who Bloom Newgate was.
