"Cadets! Remember the SAR exercise begins at 0600 tomorrow! So don't be late! Bravo Flight dismissed!" Shouted Cadet Flight Officer Aya Harrison. She's an eighteen year old girl of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, a military program for those wanting to fly for the Royal Canadian Air Force. She was standing ridged and sharp in front of her flight, but the moment she dismissed them she assumed a much more laid back stature. Aya is the oldest of the officers in her air wing, and was planning on going in the actual military next year, so she was gradually getting more and more sad as the date approached. She sat down next to the aircraft parked in the hangar and watched as young cadets began to leave. A young man sat next to her and handed her a water bottle. "How you holding up Harrison? You looked a bit pale tonight." He said to her with concern. She gladly took the bottle and took a sip from it. "Thanks Sergeant Steele, I'm fine. Just a little headache that's been bothering me since school ended today. I see you're taking Safety Officer duties seriously." she said with a grin. "If you say so Flight Officer, hope you can make it to the exercise tomorrow. We need you flying that Skybus. I mean who else is able to get music playing over our airwaves? We need something to take the edge off the boring ground operations!" he said. They both gave a light laugh, but were interrupted by Aya's phone going off. She pulled it out of her pocket and answered. "Hello? Who is this?" "Will you accept the calling?" came a young, female voice. Thinking that this was some sort of telemarketer scam, she decided to play a long. Putting on a awful cowboy accent, she responded. "Why yessiry ma'am! I do believe I accept yur offer of sorts! May I ask wh-" She was cut off by the strange voice on the other end hanging up. "Who was it?" asked Steele "I don't know...." Aya said while staring at her phone. Suddenly her eyes widened in realization. "OH SHIT! It's getting late! Aww fuck fuck fuck..... Hey I'll talk to ya tomorrow Steele!" she said getting up and quickly gathering her things. She gave a quick wave to her friend and rushed out to her car. It was fairly late when she arrived back home, so after a quick shower she went to bed. --- Aya's eyes slowly opened to reveal that she was laying in the middle of a rubble covered road. She slowly stood up and looked around seeing what was a war zone. Explosions echoed in the distance and tracer fire filled the skies. Ruined buildings now lined the streets with the occasional body crushed or simply lay bleeding in the road. Some had uniforms of soldiers, others did not. She quickly glanced ahead to see a small figured totally cloaked with only her mouth visible. The person slowly walked toward her and Aya quickly braced herself for a potential threat, but the individual stopped a few feet ahead of her and held out his or her's hand. "Will you accept the calling?" a young female voice said. A sharp grin came across her face simultaneously. Aya looked at her suspiciously, but figured this was all just a vivid dream and decided to play along. "Yes..... Who.. Who are you? Some representation of my conflicted consciousnesses?" Aya asked, but suddenly a bright light filled the sky and as Aya's eyes adjusted, she realized it was a missile heading straight for the pair. The female voice suddenly spoke. "All will be revealed soon" and the missile impacted, flinging Aya backwards..... Darkness consumed her. --- Aya awoke in a more Japanese style bed. She pulled her comforter off and rubbed her eyes. She quickly shot up, realizing that this was not her room. Everything looked different, not just the furniture or the room, but the style of everything. "This.... this looks like some sort of.... anime?!?!" Aya thought to herself, slowly starting to loose her. She leaned against the wall and ran her hand through her hair, trying to sort everything out in her mind when suddenly she stopped. She felt something in her hair. Slowly, she walked up to a mirror in the room, revealing many serious changes. First would be her hair. It a much darker, sandier blond color instead of her usual near white blond hair. She was shorter, going from 5'8 to 5'2 and looked much younger. She was still dressed in her uniform from the night before, but now wore a red scarf. Though the biggest change of them all where the new bodily features. Two white fox ears now stuck from her head and a short, wispy white fox tail sticking out of her rear end. She cupped hand over mouth and starred in horror at the changes. It felt as if she wasn't even herself, but a hard pinch and tug on her new ears proved otherwise. Her legs began to shake and she collapsed against the opposite wall of the mirror and tucked herself into a ball. "What the fuck is going on....." she said to herself. Suddenly other questions entered her mind. Where was she? What happen to her family? Why is different? She quickly stood up and whipped away a few tears. "Come on, come on.... I won't get anything done just sitting here terrified! Alright.... now what...."
