Present, the year 2051:
*swoosh*
Charlotte tore across the desert in a blur, and her feet just skimmed the sand yet left explosions in her path as the ground ruptured under every step while hot wind screamed past her ears.
Her yellow eyes burned violently as wild tears slipped down her cheeks without pause, cutting through the blood and dust clinging to her skin as her hair lashed behind her.
"KAEEEEELLLLL!!!"
Her voice cracked the air, carrying too much pain for something so small as a human throat to hold, and before the echo could fade, an enormous sand titan rose in her path.
"GRAARGH!" It roared and brought its fist down with overwhelming force.
Charlotte drove her hand forward and met it head-on.
*THOOM* The impact detonated.
A violent shockwave tore through the desert, and sand blasted outward in a massive ring as the titan's arm shattered instantly, breaking apart into countless fragments before it could even complete the swing.
