Part 1: Welcome to the Junkyard

Update 01:


This is the title screen. I will be seeing this quite a bit.



Once again, the same disclaimer. This time there is not a single time travelling Russian mad monk sent to assassinate the Japanese Emperor, but not doing anything of the sort and letting history be changed. Nope.
Or any other sort of historical figure. No, because as you will see, this one is set... In the FUTURE.


New Cycle. After finishing the previous cycle. As I said in the OP, this is to keep all the skills that were previously acquired. That'll make things much, much easier.



This is better seen in VIDEO.
Gaining Atma (viddler)
What's up with the weird cat? (Youtube)





This won't make sense for a good while.




The biggest font is clearly distressed by the green font's statements.








Welcome to The Junkyard. A land of eternal rain, and a land of eternal battle.
In the Junkyard, one must fight to survive.




And there they are.
These are the heroes of the story. The Embryon. The smallest Tribe in the Junkyard.
They are all especial in a way.



Argilla. Sniper.
Her eyes are gray.




Serph. Leader. He is putting a lens in his eye.







Notice. It is different. The lens said "Harly". It was clear as day.



Harley. Leader of the Vanguards. Another of the Tribes of the Junkyard. We'll be seeing more of him later


And this?




What the hell is this... Egg?



Heat sports a machine gun.


And so does Cielo. He has a funny hairdo.



Gale. He is the most serious one of them all. He is the tactician of the Embryon.



Everybody but Serph is expendable.
If the leader of a tribe falls, the tribe is absorbed by the victors.
That is bad news for them.



"Remember that."




Cue obligatory action scene.

They all spring into action.



Wait, what's that there?



A... Cat?
Whati s a cat doing in the middle of a battlefield?






Clearly, confusing Serph and allowing him to be blasted by explosive arrows.
The cat will be important later. Much later.




Serph carries a handgun. And he is able to hit targets like the aforementioned explosive arrows. He is a whiz with it.




But, that might be a bit too much for him.
Well, it was fun. He is dead. Goodby all.



Orrrrr... Not





No, Serph is not speaking. It's Gale.


"Remove the unidentified object at coordinates 2314 5873.
Failure to comply will be deemed an act of war."




"Remove the unidentified object at coordinates 2314 5873.
Failure to comply will be deemed an act of war."


Both sides have no idea what the hell that is.





Well. That can't be good.





Not good for either side.








Hm
This is not Xenogears.
It doesn't say "You shall be as gods"



VARNA.





Well, that's quite a way to start this, isn't it?
The main character just became a God and started... Eating... The other ones.
