2118 A.D.

The human race reaches the pinnacle of its prosperity. The progress in genetic engineering was evolving especially fast, and all food came to be created and cultivated in factories.

However, as unbelievable as it may seem, a piece of chicken breast that was no more than a piece of food for humans suddenly grew an eye, and then eventually came to possess intelligence!! Was it a form of rebellion from the eaten to the eaters?

The intelligent chicken breast eventually morphed into a humanoid creature with a chicekn head, and called itself Chicken George. And, with a strong desire for revenge against the human race warm in its heart, it escaped off into the night.

2121 A.D.

Every single type of disaster befalls the earth. The plants die, the atmosphere is tainted, and the ozone layer is destroyed. Yet people still do not realize the dire nature of their situation...

2124 A.D.

Just as the President of the USA's son America turns 3, the earth suddenly begins to slip off its axis, and the humans find out that the earth is no longer inhabitable. The leaders of the world get together and entrust their final rays of hope with their children, and have them escape to outer space, but this did not necessarily ensure a bright future -- for it was forecast by Chicken George that these children would die when they reach of fourteen!! With the knowledge of their short lifespans -- no, with the knowledge that the human race will end at 14, in its "childhood period" without ever maturing, they chase their last ray of hope, ironically riding on the Tyrannosaurus rocket that Chicken George created and heading for Andromeda.

1: Mmmmm...
2: What was I...
3: That's right...I was hit...
4: I remember!! Vice-President Gorman hit me!!

263)
1: Where did Vice-President Gorman go to?! Have I been unconscious for very long?
2: I think...I heard my son screaming wildly for me then...
3: And deciding that my son would only be calling out to me if he was in a life-or-death situation, I--

264)
1: brought a gun and waited here.
2: And then, just as I feared, my son appeared being threatened by the men who invaded the Tyrannosaurus--
3: I shot them down with that gun--but there was a girl there who was leading the men!

265)
1: And she was that "Nobara" that was in Rose's chamber!!
2: How did Nobara get in that ship?
3: Then I was punched. And when I looked back, I saw Vice-President Gorman!
4: I lost consciousness!
5: Then the Vice-President went through here to Nobara's side!

266)
1: That's it!! That has to be it!
2: bang
3: That damn Vice-President! She was actually an underling of Grand Master Rose's!!
4: And she went to go protect Rose's offshoot, Nobara!
5: America!! Is America alright?!
6: I need to make sure!
7: But I absolutely cannot! Not unless my son contacts me from his side!!

267)
1: What is that Nobara?! I can't believe that she's simply some clone of Rose's!
2: What is Rose doing right now?
3: I doubt he's just folding his hands and waiting with the end of the earth right in front of him!
4: I need to call my brother and find out!
5: Ahh!

268)
1: The diary I've been writing since America was born!
2: It must have fell down here!
3: And I always took such good care of it--
4: Don't tell me! Has something happened to America...
5: No!
6: That can't be! He's one of the chosen children!

269)
1: He went into outer space entrusted with all the hope the human race had left. He could not betray our expectations!
2: I need to continue writing about him! Until I lost all contact!! No!! Even if I do lose contact...
3: And I will leave this behind as a piece of history of the human race!! Even if it is never read...
4: A cockroach!!

270)
1: slam
2: splat
3: It came out of my clothes!
4-5: skitter

271)
1: It's looking at me!
2: Impossible...
3: You know, cockroaches have been battling humans for a very long time!
4: And even to the end, humans could never come to like them...
5: The humans have many animals they hate, but cockroaches have always been especially...

272)
1-2: skitter
3: I need to ask my brother what Rose is up to right now!
4: Attention, room!! Contact my brother!! My brother!

273)
1-3: goun
4: The room has completely accepted me as its master!
5: goun
6: kasha
7: Sam!!
8: Brother!! I was trying to contact you, but the signals were all--
9: The "commodities" have started revolting!
10: What?!

274)
1: The "commodities" acquired self-awareness--
2: and started attacking the humans!!
3: Sam!!
