The Sun was just rising over the hilltops near the ruins of Happy Happy village, blue paint was peeling off the wooden walls of the buildings, the once pristine blue flower beds lay unkempt and monsters roamed the streets capitalising on the absence of mankind.

However in the shadows there was something that wasn't supposed to be there: he was a blonde boy with his fringe casually brushed into covering part of his face, a grey uniform that wouldn't look out of place at an academy and a look on his face that showed determination..  He walked up to a building "Police" and ducked inside.

Inside everything was exactly how it had been left, even with the abandoned possessions and smashed glass from the attacks, After Mr Carpainter had been revealed for what he was the so called "Vigilante's" arrived, to his mind they were nothing more than mindless idiots that had come to his home and trashed the place forcing everyone to leave., he walked past the tragic reminder and opened the vault at the rear of the building, there was not much left as the "Vigilante's" had stolen all the money and riches that the village needed to survive he looked far at the back and pulled a delicate thread that lay at the back. A panel fell revealing a hidden item, at first glance it just looked like a Gameboy with a Camera Attachment but the boy knew what it had been rebuilt to do.

He pulled it out and wiped a layer of dust off the device and pulled the on switch as a test. As it flickered into life he remembered how his father had painstakingly converted it to file  memories of encounters with people, as he cycled through the files he saw something else at the back of the cupboard, a small unimportant looking book was lying on it's side he switched off the Device and picked up the book. , it was an old child's book filled with stories, he held it in his arms and pondered for a few moments as he stared at the pages sparkling in the dusty sunlight, he hesitated then carefully placed it into his bag with his Device and set off out of the Ruins.
Quite a sad ending for a village that started out with great ambitions.
