The first thing that Y/N L/N felt after opening his eyes was a taste of dust in his mouth. He quickly pushed himself off his stomach onto his back and rubbed the dust off his mouth. He closed his eyes and held his right arm above his now closed eyes. Getting blinded by the sunlight instantly after opening his eyes was one of the things that he hated the most about waking up.

He moved his arm away from his eyes and opened them, before blinking a few times. It took a few seconds for his eyes to adjust to the light. His eyes went over to the window under which he had just woken up and was actually quite suprised that this window didn't had any glass, like any usual window. It was just an empty hole in the wall.

He sat up and leaned against the wall before taking a good look around this room. It didn't took him that long to come to a conclusion that no one was in this room for a while now and that this place was most likely abandoned by it's former owners. The walls were grey, and there was rubble everywhere.

Time has certainly taken its tool on this room but there was one thing that stood out the most among the remains. It was a red backpack, which unlike any other thing in this room looked quite new. He stood up for a second to walk over to the backpack. He knelt down in front of it and unzipped it to see what was inside.

The first thing that caught his attention was suprising, to say the least.

It was a metal baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped around it. Despise being suprised by the fact that there was a thing like this in this backpack, Y/N could feel a small grin forming on his lips, recalling seeing a familiar bat before, the only difference being that the bat that was on his mind one was wooden, not metal.

He placed the bat on the floor, right next to the backpack before pulling out another thing from the it which happened to be his music device with a pair of earpods. He didn't had much to say about this. Other than that he'd be able to listen to the music if he wanted to.

Canteen that was filled with water. Same here. He didn't had much to say about this.

An empty journal with a competely new pen placed between the first pages. For the third time. There wasn't much he could say about this.

And the last thing that happened to be in that backpack was his phone. He pulled it out as soon as he spotted it and tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. He tried it a few more times, just to be sure, but his every attempt ended with the same familiar black screen remaining on his phone.

He sighed as he placed his phone back in the backpack, cursing himself mentally. He must have used up batteries earlier or forgot to recharge it. He stood up from his knee and picked up the backpack from the floor. He placed it on his shoulder and lowered his right hand down to pick up the bat.

He gripped the bat tightly and walked over to the window to take a good look around the area surrounding him, hoping that it will at least give him an idea about his current location. He poked his head through the window and it unfortunely raised more questions than answers. The entire area around him looked like it was abandoned for a long time.

Y/N visited a few abandoned places in his life with his friends to explore them, but he didn't recall any of them to even look similiar to this one. Maybe there was something wrong with his memory?

He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand in confusion and finally spoke up, to no one but himself, "Where the hell am I?"

Y/N knew that he wasn't going to get an answer if he remained in this building. He turned away from the window and exited the room. The other rooms of this apartament were very similiar to the one in which he just woke up. Maybe except for one, because it technically didn't exit anymore because at some point the floor collapsed on the lower floor.

He exited the apartment, instantly spotting a set of stairs. He began to walk down the stairs, not even thinking about trying to search through the other apartaments he passed by while making his way down the stairs for all the obvious reasons.

He stepped outside and took a deep exhale of the air. He started walking forward and stopped after taking only several steps. A few seconds out in the sun were enough for him to understand that this day was a very hot one. He unzipped his black hoodie, revealing his grey t-shirt underneath it.

After unzipping his hoddie, Y/N pushed himself into walk again and proceeded to walk further into the city, becoming even more confused by his situation. The entire city seemed to be abandoned for a long time now. The buildings looked like they haven't been cleaned for ages and the grass was overgrown. It clearly wasn't cut for a long time.

It was when something new caught his attention. Something stood ahead of him in the distance. It definitely wasn't a human. It was a robot or a machine or something similiar to that. Y/N could already say that it was taller than him.

He had no idea if approaching it was a good idea, but he did it anyway. It must have heard him approach it. It turned back to look at Y/N, showing it's shining yellow eyes to him.

"Human!..." The machine declared to itself after a few seconds of staring at Y/N, "Kill!"

Y/N's eyes snapped open after hearing this. What this machine just said? He must have misheard it, right?"

He quickly realized that he didn't misheard it when the machine took a step towards him and said, "Kill! Humans!"

"Woah, woah, woah." He said, starting to back away from it. He held his bat out in ready, knowing that it was not going to do anything to the machine in front of him, considering how big it was, but he didn't had much options when it came to defending himself from it.

"Kill..." The machine didn't listen to him. It just kept approaching him, "...Humans!

"Just listen to me." Y/N said, knowing that it most likely wasn't going to listen to him, but it was still worth a try, "How about we just part ways and just forget that we saw each other?"

The machine ignored him, once again and repeated itself, "Kill! Humans!"

Y/N was about to turn away from this machine to get away from it as fast as he could, but something or rather someone stopped him. His eyes snapped open when someone jumped down from one the buildings, landing between him and the machine.

There wasn't much he could say about her right now because she stood in front of him with her back facing him. One of the things that he could say about her at this moment was that she was definitely a woman. The other thing that caught his attention was her long silver hair which was a rather unusual hair color, but he wasn't the one to judge. She could have painted it to be this way.

This woman made sure to use her other weapon which happened to be a smaller blade as best as she could. A few fast, but precise slices were enough to stop the machine from moving even a step further. It stopped in it's place and twitched for a few seconds, before exploading into pieces. Y/N breathed a sigh of relief after seeing how this machine bursted into pieces. At least it wasn't going to try to hurt him anymore. His eyes widened a bit when he saw that she was carrying a huge blade on her back.

The woman that just saved him turned around to look at him. She made sure to eye him and his appearance raised a few questions. What kind of clothes was he wearing? She didn't recall any of the androids or machines she came across in her entire life wearing clothes like his. And more importantly, how did he even managed to survive with a simple bat as his weapon?

Y/N made sure to eye her appearence as well. Some of her black clothes were torn, revealing some parts of her skin.

"Thanks." Y/N send her a grateful nod, breaking the silence that formed between them. She didn't reply to his words. She turned away from him and started to walk away, "Hey, where are you going?"

He reached out to her and placed his hand on her shoulder to stop her from walking away from him. She stopped and reached her free hand to remove his hand from her shoulder. Y/N raised his eyebrow. Something about her skin just felt so weird.

She turned back to look at him, feeling a bit suspicious about him. She asked him, referring to his strange appearence. She doubted that he was associated with any of the groups she was aware of, "What kind of android are you?"

Y/N titled his head, not understanding why she was assuming him to be an android. "What are you talking about?"

"What?" The woman asked him, "Are you trying to say that you're not an android?"

"That is exactly what I'm trying to say." Y/N nodded his head, visibly confused by everything that this unknown woman just said to him. What made her even assume that he was an android?, "I'm a human, just like you."

"What?" The woman's eyes snapped open at his words, "You're a human?"

Y/N stared at her for a second, before nodding his head in confirmation, "Yes."

She pointed her sword at Y/N, making him jump back a bit. He could have been playing tricks on her, "Prove it."

Y/N eyed her, trying to figure out if she was serious or not. It didn't took him long to realize that she wasn't joking. He knew he had to think fast. Getting sliced with a sword was the last thing he wanted to happen to him right now. An idea how to prove to her that he is a human popped into his mind several seconds later.

He held his out to her. At first she looked very suspicious, but slowly came over to him. He was a bit taller than her. He was 5'7 and she was about 5'6 even with hells. He grabbed her free hand and placed it right on his beating heart. She held her hand on his heart for several seconds. She looked up at him, not saying anything, and pressed her head against his heart, wanting to be sure, making him uncomfortable.

She made him even more uncomfortable when she removed her head from his heart and took his hand into hers. She placed her hand on his wrist. Y/N quickly realized that she was checking if he had an pulse, or it was the only explanation that came into his mind at this moment. She didn't stop there. She quickly moved her hand from her wrist to his neck.

She removed her hand from his neck a few seconds later, asking herself, "How is this possible?"

"What is so suprising about me being a human?" Y/N asked, now it was his turn to be confused. The way how she reacted to him being a human was just so strange, "You're one too."

"I'm not a human. I'm an android." The unknown woman explained, "There are no humans left on Earth."

Y/N blinked, now even more confused, his mind trying to process this information, "...What? Are you trying to mess with me?"

"No." The unknown woman shook her head, crossing her arms, "Have you been living under a rock for your whole life? All the humans should be on the moon! She must have lie to all us again."

Her answer only made Y/N even more confused. Humans were living on the moon? Since when? Humans already visited the moon but they were still some years away from living on the moon or another planet. Who was the woman that she mentioned and what did she meant by "She must have lie to all of us again?". The tone of her voice when she mentioned her was telling him only one thing. That she clearly was not of a fan of her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. First of all I have never been on a moon. I just woke up in one of those buildings down the road." Y/N began, as he pointed backwards, "Second of all. What do you mean you're an android? You look like a human to me."

She reached out to her shoulder and started pulling her skin off. Y/N clenched his teeth, internally cringing at the view of her peeling her skin off her shoulder like it was nothing. She proceeded to do that to herself for several more seconds until she completely pulled her skin off her shoulder, revealing what was underneath it to the human. His eyes quickly caught the sight of metallic bones.

"Okay." He slowly nodded his head, "I believe you now."

His answer was enough to her. She reattached her skin back to her shoulder, asking him, "What are you doing here?"

"I already told you. I just woke up in one of the buildings." Y/N answered, as he pointed at the parts of the machine that she just killed, "What was the machine or robot that you just killed? Is there more of them around?

The android seemed suprised by his question, before answering it a moment later as if it was the most obvious thing ever, He really had no idea about everything about him, "Yes."

Y/N sighed, starting to turn away from her, "At least I will now know that I shouldn't approach one like an idiot."

"Wait!" She told him, raising her voice a bit. He turned back to look at her, hearing her say to him, "I'm coming with you. It is my duty as an android to protect the mankind and this is exactly what I am going to do."

She didn't had to wait long for Y/N to reply. He didn't seem to have much options right now and after all, she just saved him from that one machine. The choice how to answer to her offer was quite obvious for him, "Alright, but tell me your name, if you have one. I don't want to call you android for the entire time."

The android was silent for a few seconds before replying, "A2."

"A2." Y/N repeated her name, nodding his head in understanding. At least it will be easy for him to remember it. Her name was a bit odd, but it was most likely a normal name among the androids, "I'm Y/N."

She nodded her head in response. She started to walk forward as Y/N bit his lips before following her, knowing that coming with her was his best option right now.

They were unaware that a dark clothed figure was watching them from the top of one of the buildings. This figure's eyes followed Y/N who increased his speed to catch up to A2 only seconds before both of them disappeared from it's view.

It adjusted it's hood before vanishing, leaving nothing but ashes which floated away alongside the air...
