Jason was thoroughly enjoying himself today, he was with his buddies from his Marksmanship team. They were going to visit Yellowstone as after wiping the floor with some local teams in a competition, and of course he had probably the most beautiful girl in the world holding onto him right now. Frankly it was a glorious day for the boy who was so used to tragedy and just getting the shit end of the stick. He wasn't going to let this chance get away from him. Not as long as he still had air in his lungs and the day was still burning daylight. Either way, the boy figured he should probably get out of spacing out like he was right now and back to the real world. The group was heading towards one of the visitor centers, in order to get a map so they didn't get lost and get eaten by bears. As if that would happen. While the group went inside, Jason and Kaitlyn stayed outside and took seats on a bench. The girl leaned in and kissed his cheek playfully. This of course brought a small smile to his lips. Nothing was going to ruin today!
The next few moments made him really regret that thought. Suddenly the ground began to shake violently, as if somebody had decided it would be fun to kick the entire continental plate. Then he noticed all the geysers going off. ' But this isn't possible. They always said Yellowstone would be dormant for a long time...' The boy thought to himself, then turned to grab Kaitlyn and pull her inside. At that moment however, the ground shook especially violently and the girl stumbled a few steps away from the boy. As she did that a Crack opened up and Magma flew from the ground, covering the girl as she screamed out in pain. There was nothing Jason could do as he watched half her body melt away in the molten rock. But alas, there was no time for the youth to mourn. He was shoved violently to the ground as it became felt like the world was suddenly on fire. He crawled towards the bench and grabbed the underside, holding on tightly. Then he took a deep breath and shut his eyes tightly. Being a Space Physics major, he understood what the sudden heat meant. Earth had suddenly lost her precious atmosphere. It was about to get very hot, and very hard to breath. All around him he could hear the buildings crumbling to dust as the gravity that once held them disappeared. People screamed for their lives. The ground still felt like it was moving with a mighty roar. Then... nothing. There was no gravity, no air, no sound. It was completely silent. That meant all the air was gone and the boy had mere seconds before his blood boiled and he exploded. This was it. Then suddenly a deafening roar covered him as air rushed back into his lungs. Sound returned but he still felt weightless. Jason clutched onto the bench for dear life. He also dared to open his eyes to notice that there was an odd green light. He screamed loudly as his body was suddenly alight with pain, it felt as if all his bones broke then re-built themselves. Shortly after that pain he felt a massive slam as he was thrown from the bench and onto the unmoving ground. Somehow, he hadn't blacked out. His entire body hurt but it was as if he were stronger... no, no stronger. Tougher.
He could focus on that later. First he had to ensure his own survival. Now... what had countless hours of plating Fallout taught him? Ah. Yes. Others would start looting, or rioting, or go crazy in general and start killing people. He needed weapons to survive. The boy shakily got to his feet and looked around. The managed body of Kaitlyn lay nearby. Her locket somehow unharmed. The boy went over and pulled the heart shaped locket from her dead body and put it on himself. He would remember Kaitlyn no matter what else happened. Then the boy went to the ruins of the visitor center, which was barely standing on one wall. He looked around and found a backpack which had somehow remained unbroken. He snagged it and headed towards the back wall with had a novelty Katana sword. What the hell a sword was doing in a novelty store at Yellowstone was beyond him. But he took the thing. He would sharpen it later. The boy knew it would most likely break if he ever used it, but it would look threatening to others. He lid it into the sheath and slid the sheath into his backpack. Nearby was the Park HQ. Where they would have guns. The building was in shambles, but the weapons safe remained unharmed. Apart from the door being thrown off. The boy walked over and took a M98B from the safe. Then he grabbed all the ammo they had for the rifle and tossed it in his bag... after loading the clip and sliding it into the rifle. Holding his new weapon, Jason turned to face the rest of the world.
What he saw was a broken world, some normal, but others looked like pieces that had been underground were now above ground. It looked as if a toddler had put a Jigsaw puzzle of the earth back together. Huge chunks of land were barely touching in some areas where one could cross, but then next to them were huge glowing Abyss'. Which the boy figured you would die really quickly if you fell into them. Off in the distance he saw some mountains that hadn't been there before. They looked mysteriously like Pyramids. With a sigh, the boy set off to satisfy his curious mind and head towards the huge pyramid mountains. Picking his way across the new landscape very carefully.
