Thread: Ryuko goes to Space! (Ban The Game & Darkest Fate)

It was a late stary night on a lonely road in the northern Japanese countryside. A lone red car drove along carrying it's single passenger, a recent highschool graduate named Ryuko Matoi. She gripped the wheel firmly with an irritated yet depressed look on her face, Why on Earth did they have to have their wedding at Lake Mashu? I know it's pretty but if the drive all the way there from Kanto wasn't bad enough now I have to drive all the way back out of bum-fuck nowhere by myself! She relaxed a bit in her seat and continued to talk to herself, she knew no one was listening so there wasn't any harm in it. Mako Gamagoori hmm? She finally got married. Settle down, start a family and have lots of little kids... Ryuko took out a picture from under the dashboard and looked at it. Mako...was there really anything between us? I guess in the end he gave you what I never could. Ah- She shook her head. Ugh, get a hold of yourself girl! You and Mako were always just friends...just...friends... She paused. Besides, shes a girl like me, we're both supposed to settle down with a nice husband right? The car continued on for an hour or so in the silence of it's driver. The sky was beautiful that night. So far away from the big cities, you could see every star in the sky. She stared at the mesmorizing, nebulous abyss above and wondered. Wondering if things could have been different, wondering why after everything had happened she was the only one left that couldn't settle into a normal life. Her gaze drifted from the stars above back down to the red bride's maid's dress she still had on. Eventually, the car slowed down until it stopped at the side of the road and the horn blarred at the empty road a moment later. Damn it! You said you wouldn't do this, she yelled to herself as her fist smashed against the steering wheel. You promised yourself you wouldn't cry! You knew this was coming, you were the first person she told when they got engaged...Damn it, damn it, damn it! After moments of sulking, Ryuko eventually stepped out of the car. She took a seat on the hud and just stared at the night sky. Shes a girl like me...it isn't right for me to have these thoughts about her like this. I should be happy for her. But...what if she still has the same thoughts about me? She shook her head, No, I wouldn't want that. I wouldn't want to confuse her or get in between her and Ira. So...maybe I should just go away. She stayed quiet for a little while longer, thinking to herself. Sifting through memories and nostalgia, wondering why how she could feel this way about another woman. She had never really been with anyone of any gender. Suddenly, she bursted out in laughter. Look at yourself! Sitting on the side of the road in the middle of hick central! What, am I trying to get myself mugged? She said with a laugh before standing up and getting back in her car. I better get going before this turns into a scene from that Deliverance movie. Not that I'm scared of a couple of country bumkins. Why are western movies so weird anyway? Just as she was about to turn the key and start the engine again, she spotted something out of the corner of her eye. A bright light wizzing in and out of view. What the hell? She asked squinting at the light as it rapidly approached. She turned the key, but the engine didn't start. Oh come on not now, she grunted in disappointment. Ryuko desperately tried to rev the engine as the light grew brighter and brighter. Panic began to set in swiftly but just as it seemed like the source of the light has reached her, she turned back to it with a challenging glare. And then...blackness.
