It's been merely four years since things had been peaceful, everywhere you'd turn, there'd be nothing but chaos. This whole world had fallen apart, and trust was a rare thing now. Creatures now ruled majority of this so called earth, and humanity, well, their race was on the verge of extinction. And it didn't help at all that everyone had somehow turned on each other, the lack of trust just worsen their crisis. There were some groups, however, who coexist and aid one another. Those alliances were truly rare, and it was surprising just how easy they managed to make this seem. Though security to such alliances were tight to get through, it has been known that they've accepted newcomers.

The "H.F.N.B" alliance, was led by a woman in her early twenties. That woman, known as Higurashi Yuki, is the leader of this alliance. She had recruited girls who had nowhere else to go, and assigned them a position in which they would fulfill certain tasks and missions. Each position was different, and each girl had a different background. Very little is known about Yuki, but she is a kind and caring woman who has a strong sense for justice. The second oldest girl in the alliance, is Tomoe Mami, who is 15 at the current time. She had lost her parents long before the world fell to ruin, she specializes in long distance combat, her favorite weapon is the musket rifle. Mami, despite how sad the world is, appreciates everyone in the crew, and she's always the cheery bubbly one, she cares for everyone as family. Her only weakness is being isolated for far too long, she cannot bare being alone.

The next girl is Shizuki Hitomi, who is 14. Before the outbreak, Hitomi was the daughter of the most richest and refined people of Mitakihara. Though she held a high status in society, she was quite humble and loved going to a public school in which she would befriend lots of nice people. She specializes in close range fighting, she used to be a black belt in martial arts, so Hitomi is often using her fists to do the fighting. She does, however, carry knives, which are a "delight to use" as she states. Her lady-like behavior stayed with her, her pacing is graceful, she loves making tea with Mami, and her vocabulary is much more sophisticated than everyone else's. Regardless of how gentle and sophisticated she is, when facing a tense situation, Hitomi's vocabulary is limited to mixtures of swears and poor executions of comebacks.

Miki Sayaka, who is also 14, happened to have attended the same school as Hitomi, so they had befriended one another long before they joined the alliance. Sayaka came from a middle class family, and her life was a very happy one. Her specialty is close range fighting as well, unlike Hitomi, she prefers using swords. Her favorite sword is a hand me down katana that her father had given to her. Miki-san can be rather stubborn and immature at times, but she is capable of being serious when the time requires her to be. She likes sharpening her weapons during her free time, and she also likes hanging out with Kyoko, another crew member whom they reside with. The only weakness that stands out, is that Sayaka tends to jump head first into things without giving it proper thinking, hence how she was given the nickname, "idiot of justice" by Kyoko.

Sakura Kyoko, age 14, didn't have a so happy life like the two other girls. Her family was a very religious one, and at first, things were going great. As time progressed, her father had become deeply depressed because his own religion had gotten no positive feedback, and so he became an alcoholic and murdered everyone in the family, everyone except her. She didn't bother going to school and so she lived off of theft and had no permanent home. When she was asked if she wanted to join the alliance, Kyoko had turned it down instantly, but soon after a couple of days, she had given in, knowing that there'd be no way of surviving alone. It took her some time to warm up to the other girls, and very soon after she too had begun smiling and enjoying everyone else's company. She specializes in both long and close range combat, her preferred weapons are hand made spears she had designed herself. Kyoko tends to be sarcastic even when facing danger, you can catch her always eating some type of snack, and she loves teasing her friend, Sayaka. The red headed girl can be careless, hot headed, and a little too cocky for her own good.

Next up is Akemi Homura, age 14, who is a bit too much anti-social. She had lost both of her parents long before she could remember, and was raised in a catholic orphanage. She used to have a medical condition, her heart wasn't the strongest one out there, and so she had spent most of her life in a hospital ward. When she was 10, she received a heart transplant, and now all but a scar resides in between her chest to serve as a token of remembrance of her new heart. The lack of physical contact during her early years had caused her to form a strong habit of excluding herself from her friends, or comrades, as how she interprets it. Homura is a very quiet, calm, and collected person. Her stoic-like face earned her the nickname, "Ice Princess", by both Kyoko and Sayaka. She specializes in both long and close range combat, and her preferred weapons of choice are dual HK MP5Ks. Not only is she an excellent guns expert, but she also specializes in high technology, often she designs new equipment for the rest of the crew. When not working on new equipment or high tech gear, Homura is often out exploring places.

Last, but not least, is Nagisa Momoe, who is the youngest member yet, she's 12 years old. Yuki has ordered her not to be out in the battlefield unless told otherwise, so she stays in the headquarters, training or learning the basics of her future position. Nagisa looks up at Mami like a little sister would to an older sister, the two of them met while the outbreak had occurred, and stayed together since then. Even though she is younger than the rest, the girl can be serious when she has to be. Other than that, she's always jumping about and talking to everyone, and her pass time is eating cheese cake and drinking tea with Mami.

These six girls fight every day, and scatter the city for supplies, and their leader stays on the main room in which she coordinates the next counter attack against intruders. This is the everyday life that they face, so far everything has been a manageable task for them, but how long until things start to fall apart one by one?

A/N: Yeah, this is just the intro in which I introduced the characters and such. I didn't do that good of a job as I hoped, but the next chapter will be much better, I hope!
