here my Characters for my story. I still working on my story just slowly right now.

[Cloukora]

ALRIGHT! I just finished writing mine. I feel like it ended too quickly (even though it's like 7 pages long) and I feel like the fights were rushed and not organized, so tomorrow I'll try to work on that, and if I do, I'll post it, or send it? Not sure which I'm supposed to do.

[LilHinataGirl]

I am slowly writingggg

[Cloukora]

Spoiler:

Angel’sZombie’s Gaiden

Cloukora stepped to the edge of the building, followed shortly by Sakairith. Cloukora was about the same height as any other 19 year old, his weight was normal despite how much he loved to eat, his hair was brown, but his eyes weren’t normal. The pupils were not circular, but of three green triangles that made up a bigger triangle. On the sides of the triangle were blue circles, and on each point, was a smaller green triangle. What made them even more unique was that they had a glow to them. Cloukora’s clothing was simple though: a black band t-shirt, representing the band Airbourne in dark red letters, jeans, and black skating shoes. Sakairith didn’t necessarily blend in either. Of course her height, weight, and clothing were normal: a blue tank top, jeans, and blue Converse sneakers. But her hair; her hair was of a mixture of blue and green. Something you don’t normally see walking down the street. Then again, she wasn’t from Earth, so she’s not bound to the rules of the humans, even though she is human. Then her eyes…her eyes were an enchanting blue that wasn’t too dark, or too light, it was just the right shade. She held a UMP45 Sub machine gun in her hand, a shotgun held by a shoulder strap, and two USP. 45 pistols on both of her legs. Cloukora had two Desert Eagles on both legs as well.

When they looked down below they saw the streets filled with people that had become zombies, just walking around, minding their own business. “Funny that they think these things will stop us.” Cloukora said confidently.

“Yeah, well you know how evil villains are. They’re not as bright as they let on. Otherwise they could have just wiped out everyone with a doomsday device.” Sakairith replied.

“But no, they have to make a big scene about it and put on a show.”

“A show that eventually leads to their downfall.”

“Yup. Well, you ready?”

“Hell yes. Let’s do it!” Cloukora pulled out a katana from his back that was not there a second ago. This sword was special: It was a sword that could disappear, but when Cloukora wished it, it would reappear, but only wherever it was last before it disappeared. The sword was not only special, but beautiful. Attached to the bottom of the hilt was a necklace of his family crest; it was the same symbol as his pupils. The cloth that wrapped around the hilt was blue and matched the color of his sheath. On the blade of the sword was writing inscribed: Pugnare pro honore, amore et fide. It meant “To fight with honor, love, and faith.” Something he had meant to always follow, and so far, he has. The hand guard was also in the shape of his family crest. Finally, on the scabbard of the sword was a sketch of a white tribal wolf that ran along it.

Music suddenly began to start playing out of nowhere. It was the song “Savior” by Rise Against. “You couldn’t have picked a better song?”

“Oh fine, I guess.” Cloukora pulled out his MP3 player and switched it over to the song “Fight ‘Em ‘Til You Can’t” by Anthrax. He set it down on the roof and maneuvered the wind to carry the music all around; amplifying it if you will. He rarely used this neat trick; he only used it to make boring fights more exciting, such as this one he was about to fight. “Bet I can kill more than you.”

“Bet you, you can’t.” Sakairith gave a grin and they both held each other for a moment and pressed their lips against each other’s.

“I love you!” Cloukora didn’t give her time to answer and jumped down below right in the middle of the crowd. It wasn’t long until the zombies noticed him and came after him.

Sakairith shook her head and smiled. “I love you too, Clou.” She then jumped down to join in on the action.


As soon as Cloukora landed, he saw a zombie come right on top of him, pulled out a throwing knife and stuck it in its skull. Quickly making the sword disappear and pulling out the Desert Eagles, he began taking out zombie after zombie, each time with a head shot. He was able to control the huge recoil from the pistols because he knew how much strength to use in his arm and hand to hold them steady, and he knew this because of inherited ability. He could essentially see how things worked through mathematics and science; he could see where a bullet will exactly land by judging the wind speed. Not long after he began slaying the zombies, Sakairith has landed not far off, and he saw and heard gunfire come from where she was. He had faith in her that she could keep herself alive. Each time he ran out of bullets, he quickly would reload with a new magazine. After awhile though, he ran out of bullets with one of the guns, and all he had was two magazines left, so he decided to put it back in the holster and use only one gun and his sword, which he had appear once again. A zombie charged at his side and almost got near him, but Cloukora casually swung his sword and it lost its head. Finishing off the last magazine he had on him, he put away the pistol and focused on them with his sword. He put a hand to his ear, which had an earpiece in it. “Sakairith, there’s too many of them. I’m gonna have to use some elemental attacks. Just a heads up.”

“Alright Clou, I’ll keep an eye out.” Sakairith answered.

“Sorry guys, fun’s over.” The earth suddenly began to shake below his feet, but he was unaffected by it because he was the one causing it. It suddenly was sent in a wave that spread throughout the area, knocking the mindless creatures down to the ground. Then the ground sent spikes out of the ground into every single zombie’s skull, and then swallowed them up and dragged them underground, where they were crushed by the force of the earth. The city block was now clear of zombies. Sakairith walked about to Cloukora, and he noticed she had a pinkish-themed sword in her hand; the hilt was pinkish.

“So now what?” She asked.

“I don’t know. I’m sure one of them will show up.”

“Heh heh heh heh. So you’re the one getting in our way?” Cloukora looked up to see a man floating down from the sky. His skin was greenish and he had orange-red hair and beard, and he work black and grey armor with a tattered cloak on his back.

“Who are you supposed to be?”

“The name’s Ganondorf. I am the true ruler of Hyrule, and now…this planet! Someone like you is not going to get in my way. So back down and I’ll let you go and maybe I won’t kill you.”

“Ganon, you are too weak. You should just kill them and be done with it. I don’t know why you a dilly dally like this.” It came from a man to his right who was just joining them. He looked just as odd as Ganondorf: He had long silver hair, wore a long black jacket that exposed some of his chest that had spaulders resting on his shoulders, and carried a long sword that had the same style as a katana, except it was way longer than normal.

“Sephiroth, don’t mock me in front of them! I’m trying to scare them!”

“Yeah, that’s not going to work. Trust me.” Cloukora said with a grin.

“So this is the guy we have to kill? Come on, he’s just a kid! I mean, he’ll be a piece of cake for you guys, I don’t see why I had to be hired for this.” A costumed man approached the group. His costume was red for the most part, except for black along his sides, shoulders, feet, and his eyes. He also bore two katanas on his back and two holsters on his sides with pistols. Lastly, he wore a utility belt around his waist where the holsters and other pouches hung from. “ ‘Oh Deadpool, we need your help killing this guy that’s been getting in our way.’ Oh well, more money for a easy kill.”

Another man that was in a costume similar to Deadpool’s approached not far behind. Despite the similarities, it was still different in its own essence. Only half of his mask was black, and he wore chainmail armor beneath his costume, which didn’t even cover his entire body. His color was also orange instead of red. He also bore swords on his back, carried guns, and wore a utility belt. “Not you again.”

“Deathstroke! How long has it been? I don’t care. I’m just glad you’re fighting alongside me.” Deadpool shouted when he saw the new man.

“I feel honored.”

“Don’t be. It just means this fight will go even faster. By the way, I’m gonna kill you after this. You’re cramping my look.”

“Let’s just get this over with, already.”

The four enemies before Cloukora quickly drew their swords and rushed him: Deadpool with his katanas, Ganondorf with a sword made of darkness, Sephiroth with his long sword, and Deathstroke with his two bastard swords. Cloukora barely had enough time to make the sword in his hand disappear and two hook swords in his hands appear. These hook swords were called Vesi and Nero, they were the swords of the element of water. Cloukora had managed to block all of their swords with his two, which were held horizontally on both sides of him. He felt the pressure of Deadpool’s and Deathstroke’s swords on his left side, and Ganondorf’s and Sephiroth’s on his right side. Cloukora spun knocking all four of them away. This was going to be a tough fight. Sakairith noticing the weight of the battle decided to even the odds and get behind Cloukora, sword ready.

“Sakairith, you should keep back.” Cloukora warned her, but she didn’t move.

“I don’t say ‘I love you’ just for the hell of it. I am going to fight with you, and if necessary die with you. That is what love is, willing to be there for the other person.”

Cloukora switched out one of the hook swords for his katana. “Til death do us part.”

“You know it, babe.”

“I suppose this wouldn’t be a good time for another song, huh?”

“Looky here, we got ourselves a love story. Strange, I’m pretty sure this was a fight, not The Notebook.” Deadpool reminded.

“Have you even seen that movie?” Sakairith questioned.

“No, but it’s a lame movie anyways.” Deadpool wasted no more time with talk and rushed Cloukora along with Sephiroth, while Ganondorf and Deathstroke went after Sakairith. Cloukora blocked Sephiroth’s attack with his katana and Deadpool’s with his hook sword. Cloukora pulled the hook sword downwards pulling down Deadpool’s katanas with the hook that was on the end, spun around Deadpool on his right side, brought down his katana on his neck, and took off Deadpool’s head.

“One down.” Cloukora said as he focused his attention on Sephiroth, and began blocking his extremely fast attacks, while still trying to get a hit on him. Sephiroth suddenly did a flurry of attacks, giving Cloukora not enough time to dodge a few of them, which resulted in cuts on random spots on his body. He finally saw his opening, and pushed down Sephiroth’s sword elbowed him in the face and went to swing at him, but Cloukora’s attack was blocked. A large black wing came out of the left side of Sephiroth’s back, and he readied his sword. “Is that supposed to be scar-” Sephiroth suddenly dashed at Cloukora with enormous speed, speed he could not keep up with. He only managed to block the attack through luck. “Not good.” Before he knew it, Deathstroke was charging at him, and he saw Deadpool’s head reattaching to his body, and then charging at him as well. When all three came at the right positions, Cloukora spun around with his swords, blocking their attacks. Immediately they began attacking him again. None of them could get a hit out of each other, and their attacks together became an almost blurry sphere because they were swinging so fast. Cloukora finally managed to get a hold of Deathstroke’s sword with his hook sword, pull him towards Cloukora and lob off his head. Cloukora kicked the body towards Deadpool, who was stabbed with Deathstroke’s sword that was still in his hands. Cloukora went to slash Deadpool’s head off again, but he vanished to thin air before the blade came down. Cloukora felt something behind him, and had the earth create a spike and it pierced Deadpool, and went back into the ground, creating an arc, and suspending him in midair through his torso.

“Dammit. I just cleaned this suit! Guess I’ll just watch the show.” Deadpool rested his elbows on the piece of earth, and his chin on his hands.

“Just to be sure…” The earth swallowed up Deathstroke, to prevent him from healing. “Now, back to the fight.” Cloukora glanced over and saw Sakairith battling Ganondorf, and she looked like she was at her top. “Hang in there, Sakairith. I’m almost done.” He shifted his focus back to Sephiroth. “Alright, let’s end this!” Cloukora quickly charged at him, who also charged at Cloukora, and struck their final blow. Cloukora felt a sharp pain in his chest and held it where it hurt, which was a large cut made by Sephiroth’s sword. Cloukora turned to Sephiroth laying on the ground, and disappeared into a flurry of feathers. He got up to go help Sakairith but saw her final blow: She had deflected a ball of energy back at Ganondorf, and when he fell to the ground from the blast, she stuck her sword into his chest.

“B-but…how? Only the Master Sword…could…defeat…me.” The man clutched his chest when she pulled out her sword.

“Love is a powerful thing. But you wouldn’t know that, would you?” Sakairith insulted. She turned to see Cloukora, ran up to him, and hugged him tightly. So tight it hurt his wound. They both kissed each other again. “We did it!”

“Ehh, almost.” Cloukora turned to Deadpool who was still pierced by the earth spike.

“Can’t you guys just let me go?” He begged. “Please, I’ll give you money, gold, weapons, information, a doggy bone! Just don’t kill me!”

“Alright, we’ll let you go.”

“Oh thank you, now if you’d just…Hey! Where are you going?!”

“Letting you go.” Cloukora said as he and Sakairith walked off through the city, back to their home.

My submission:

(No Title)

Spoiler:

I staggered thoroughly toward the lit surface in the dark night.
"Mommy why? Why'd you leave me?" My hands lifted in the air, breath excelerating; blood trickling down the skin of my forehead.
My tears welled up while I fell on the forest floor. I cried hard, swallowed up in emotion. Without the realization, I began drifting, falling in a clean darkness... and then soon things changed for me.

CHAPTER 1: Beginning

My name is Alice, I don't really have anything but that. I was abandoned by my only mother when I was only eight. A boy found me, he was at a close age that looked fourteen. I didn't remember anything but a smile on this boys face. Soon I found myself remembering being in a nice warm cozy bed wanting to see the same smile and realized he was right there, next to me, sleeping.
I tapped his head in curiousity, hoping for the boy to wake up. He pretty much was out cold, so slowly I climbed out of bed and ran outside, the sun was warm and I began to constantly to smile.
I looked at the grass and the clouds and I really thought that having a mama was just a dream.
"Your awake." I stopped in my tracks, there watching from the doorway, was the boy. I began to blush, he was very pretty! I didn't notice before but he had gorgeous green eyes, like an emerald sparkling; wavy black hair and a very baby-like face.
"Who are you?" I spit out. He smiled at me," My name is Tetsu, how are you my princess?"
My eyes sparkled," Princess?! I like princesses but I don't know who one is." I smiled widely not realizing his face. "Well my name is Alice, but to be honest, that's the only thing I remember."
I ran over to him with a smiling face, knowingly I'd regret it soon.

"TETSUUUU!!!" I cried out as his body sat motionless...

CHAPTER 2: Five Years Later
A girl with beautiful white as shocking as lilac locks of hair and dashing silver lines crossing over her beautiful red right eye at a strangely tainted as a rose.
She ran through the alley with a hard dash, her breath equalizing with the same pace as her heart.
"Aliceee!! Why are you running from me?!" A squeal came from a short girl yelping like a dog. This here is the start of the true story of a princess and her four guardians in order to protect the world from turning to hell, whether a savior a destroyer, Alice is both.

I stopped then jumped across the wall on the roof.
"Alice!" I smirked and yelled out," Sorry Mimi, Tetsu's coming back~! So I have to hurry and see him!"
She cried out in frustration as she kept a slow, clumsy pace. I jumped roof to roof till I spotted him in the crowd and jumped off as high as possible, aiming for his back.
"Tetsuuu~!!" I hugged him tightly, laughing. He became shocked and yelled out "Princess! Get off me!!" I clunged tightly in order to not be flung off. "No no no! I don't want my Tetsu to leave me alone again!" Heavy breathing came from behind us as people stared at us. "W-who said you were alone!" She sat there, kneeling for breath. I felt bad,"Sorry Mimi, you were just so slow and everything." This gave Tetsu a chance to flip me off his back as Mimi muttered," It's fine A-Alice." I landed on my feet with a very light touch," Meany head Tetsu!!" I whined, he just ignored me in irritation.
Clearing his throat and straightening himself he smirked," The water user is over in the next town, I was able to sense him but that's about it." I changed my mood drastically," Yayay! Mister water person is close~!"
Mimi's calm and steady voice came out from all of the excitement," The enemy is six hundred meters from the west." I swear whenever her power pops out like that it makes me think differently toward her usual slow and clumsy atmosphere.
Without a reason i clapped my feet to the floor of the earth as if it was a slap and began to hover in the air." We need to find the water wielder soon before the enemy gets closer, we can't let them hurt him!"
"Alice!" Tetsu glared at me and I smiled at him. "Don't worry, please use Mimi's teleportation power to go to the next town." He looked concern as Mimi held tightly to him ready to teleport.
"Alice." Her voice was smooth," Stay safe for the both, we can't let our princess die so young." I had a small chill, her element always got me.
"I will Mimi, you stay safe~!" I kicked up higher to the sky and pumped my power to head north to the next town.

CHAPTER 3: The Element Guardians
There are a system of five elements across the world, God only chooses the five children who could withstand these powers. Among the five children there is one that he calls his Princess of the Air. Without Air, God murmured, there can't be a world. So she was casted as the savior and yet the destroyer. He couldn't protect her in his special way since she wanted to stay on earth and cast a love toward the world, so he begged the child of the user to keep this world round Earth to protect the Princess. He kept this promise for with God he casted a line of three other far powerful children, Water, Fire, and Spirit. They claimed loyalty to this strong and powerful from all evil. The children who were chosen as the users now are recognized with a tattoo given by birth.
We have only three guardians of the earth in play, says God. Alice my Princess who holds the strong will of being free, Tetsu the man who swore to keep his word of promise, and Mimi the clumsy sorceress who can sense and contact Hell and the Heavens herself. Who will be the remain characters, you will see soon my children...

CHAPTER 4: Water
I landed near the gate of the town in wait for Tetsu and Mimi. There with a distinct look was a boy with lacy like blond hair and gorgeous blue eyes that matched the color of the sea, somehow I knew it was him, but my faint sense could only reach so far.
"Hello young lady, you lost?" A weird man stood before me, I smiled and sat there,"No I'm fine." As I tried walking near the mysterious boy close by, but the weird man smirked and stopped me in my tracks. "Now now how bout comin' to my place?" He tried to grab me and so I tested this out to hope for the boy to come to my rescue, I sat there. My theory was correct as he was right then and there kicking the freaky old man to the floor.
"She said no, listen old fat pig!"
I smiled at him as saw the symbol of a liquid blue tattoo lined his left arm."Hi there mister water person." He turned to me and blushed hard, falling to his butt. I looked at him and picked him up."You know I could have handle him myself, simply I tested you, and you pass!" He looked dumb-founded like I was nuts so I happily grabbed his arm and he blushed hard again."Your a shy one mister water, can you tell me your name so I can tell you the story of our past-selves."
He looked panicked and then blurted it out with a stutter,"M-Mic-Michael!" It was more like a yell but I smiled anyway." What a cute name! I will call you Micc for short~!" He looked at me with the gorgeous eyes that awed me.
"I see you found him Princess." I turned around and glared at Tetsu," Shut up I got to him first, you and Mimi took your sweet time getting here."
Mimi sat on the floor breathing hard," She used alot of her energy to reach here but we better fine the fire quickly before the enemy finds us." I huffed up and nodded, I kicked the floor again and was back in the air,"Where to Mimi?" She sat there for a moment,"East, two thousand kilometers." I smiled and looked at Micc,"Stay with Tetsu, he will protect you and tell you everything you need to know but be careful, I'll meet you tomorrow."
He sat there motionless confused and managed to gain a nod. I never realized that my now family would be attacked so soon.

CHAPTER 5: Four Years Ago (Tetsu Point of View)
I sat there as she flew away, annoyed again."She didn't tell you anything, sorry, she's a very stupid Princess." He looked at me and nodded,"I-it's fine, uhm my name is Michael." I smirked and picked up the now weak Mimi. "My name is Tetsu and this here is Mimi. I will explain everything while we are heading to the fire carrier." I slammed my foot on the ground and a giant rock grew out. Laying Mimi down I murmured with ease and slapped the rock," Sit!" He listened and the rock began to move extremely fast, I sighed and sat next to him and Mimi who was laying, still panting.
"I will tell you of what happen to Alice and I four years ago after we were attacked."
My mind carried the image as I told our story.

"Tetsu! Tetsu~! Look look at the pretty rock." Alice murmured with a playful tone, I sat near the bank of the water watching. "What a pretty rock Princess!" I smiled. It was such a beautiful day, I got up and walked close near where she was but then something flashed near my eyes and I ran to push her away. I turned to see a boy who smirked at me," Hello keeper of earth, we finally meet." I glared at him with anger as I held Alice close to me away from the boy. She looked scared and she began to cry, I got up and carried her away, to run. The boy followed us," You will hand me God's only princess!" I tried to go faster but fell landing on the ground and Alice yelped as she rolled hard hitting a tree. I stammered trying to get up but he got toward me and kicked me hard in the stomach and cackled." What a weak person you are, I can't even believe you were chosen by God himself!"
"Tetsu!" I gleamed over the crying Alice that I'd sworn to protect since I found her once more. She ran over to him and hit his side several times," Let him go, let my Tetsu go!" She screamed as she cried. "P-Princess, please run..." The boy turned and grabbed her arm," Seems your an easy catch!" I realized I needed to protect her, I begged the earth to please help me. It didn't listen to me, it creaked at me as if looking down at me, I screamed in my head, commanded it to listen! And as I did that, the boy flew at the tree and Alice was next to me."Y-you got power, I can sense it within you." He got up and smirked." I'm tired now, I'll find you and the princess in four years, if you can beat me by then, I will claim you worthy. remember my name! Kore!" And like that he vanished and Alice came stumbling toward me crying more and more. I got up and patted her head,"Please don't cry, see see, I'm fine."
Our lives changed due to that one boy that I could never forgive. Hell was breaking out and war was already unleashed, only thing left was the destruction in the Princess's heart and that would cause the end of the world... I couldn't allow it. Not now, not ever, I promised God and I will keep that bond strong!
But I never knew why, why did it happen so fast...

[pokeruto]

Spoiler:

Chapter 1 My Style

“Have you had enough?” questioned the young man as he skeptically stared at the other boy lying down on the floor in a puddle of his own sweat.
He raised his head just to barely pant, “What are you talking about? You’ve barely landed one ht on me!”
“But you seem pretty worn out,” the other responded coolly.
“Are you serious? You know I can go for hours more!” he exclaimed as he rose up from the ground readying his stance. The two boys stood a few meters apart from each other carrying bo staffs on a large platform made for sparring. While a platform of this type would normally be found in a dojo, this one was set outdoors, surrounded by lush green grass and a path leading to the estate of the owners of this “fighting stage.”
“Go for hours more? Then why are you so out of breath? Eh Takahiro?” the first boy taunted.
The boy who was out of energy, Takahiro, suddenly had a fire burning in his eyes as he exclaimed. “Rrrrgghhh! I’ll show you who’s outta breath!” He bolted at his opponent, launching a strike at his head with the end of his staff, but the young man smoothly blocked the strike and jabbed Takahiro, knocking him to the ground once again.
“You’ve been practicing for months and you still go with head on attacks?” said the young man looking down at Takahiro, “You should practice the forms first. We can spar later.”
“Watch what you say, Naoki,” warned Takahiro as he still pushed on to rise up after being knocked down so harshly, “It’s not over yet. You say I can’t win without learning all of your forms?” These words carried the weight of Naoki’s superiority over Takahiro that the ladder had to deal with ever since he met him. “Screw the forms! Here’s my style!” Hiro snapped the staff on his knee and threw one half at Naoki. With quick precision, he blocked the projectile, but before he could defend himself again, Takahiro landed a strong hit, straight in the center of Naoki’s head, knocking him to the ground.
“Well I wouldn’t exactly approve,” Naoki said, standing up and rubbing his head, “but congratulations. That’s the first hit you’ve landed on me.” Naoki was only referring to his spars with the bo staffs, but for Takahiro it was the first time he came close to Naoki. He knew his goal was coming soon: his chance to protect his brother—Naoki.

Chapter 2 History Repeats Itself

“What’s the point?” Takahiro yawned quietly as he sat in the back of his ancient history and mythology class. “History’s not gonna change any time soon. Why do we have to study the same thing every year?” It was just loud enough for Naoki to turn around and hear his ignorant word. He turned around, giving Takahiro an angry look that demanded him to be quiet.
The history teacher paced back and forth as he gave his lecture with imaged projected on a screen in front of the black board. “Long ago,” the teacher began, “only some years after civilization had developed, one history’s most intelligent philosophers grew sick with the evil that had grown in the world. This man, known as the Re-creator, discovered that everyone had a soul within them that radiated energy. Every soul emitted its own unique energy, but there were only two types of souls: good and evil. All good souls shared a similar energy pattern, as did evil souls. The Re-creator discovered the difference between the good and evil souls’ frequencies, and he slowly began to have ideas of purifying humanity from evil, making a society of good. His first attempt at cleansing the world of evil was to change the frequency of evil souls with a gigantic radio wave to make them good. He was successful on his first few test subjects at first, but the artificial good souls soon reverted back to evil. The Re-creator grew desperate, wanting to create a Utopia by any means; even if it meant wiping out more have of the population.
“He put all of his time and energy into creating the Anzunder, a tool that would resonate with the frequency of every evil soul and destroy it. And he had succeeded—at least, that is what he had thought. The Anzunder did not act as the Re-creator predicted, and resonated with every human being’s soul, yet it did not destroy them. Their souls were strengthened and shed from their bodies; converting them into what we call a spirit form. In this form, the humans were much stronger since they had full control over their soul energy. The good and evil spirits fought relentlessly with their newfound power, until only one side remained: the good. The spirits worked backward from the Re-creator’s designs and regained their bodies. The Re-creator’s utopia was a reality, but at the cost of so many lives. Evil souls were eventually born, and society returned to its previous state. There are theories stating that some people have strong enough souls to tap into their soul energy and activate powers from—”
“Agggggghhhhhhhh, this is so boring!!” loudly interrupted Takahiro, slamming his hands on his desk. The history teacher strode to the back of the class where Takahiro was sitting, and grabbed his collar, angrily interrogating, “What was that, runt? Is my class so boring you just can’t keep it in? C’mere we’re going to the principal’s office!” As the teacher dragged Takahiro away, Naoki shook his head. “You’re going to get expelled at this rate, Takahiro,” he said.
“Please, just call me Hiro!”
“Heroes don’t get expelled,” responded Naoki.
“We’ll see about that,” yelled Takahiro as the teacher already took him out of the room, and was quite a distance down the hall.

Chapter 3 An Offer to be a Hero

Late into the afternoon, Takahiro is seen walking out of the school and onto his way home. There are sidewalks that would lead to his house, but he knows a shortcut through an alley way and prefers to go that way. To be completely correct, he is not walking to his house. He is actually walking to Naoki’s house. Takahiro had not walked to his own house ever since he was only 8 years old; before his parents were taken away from him by lowly thieves, before he suddenly thrown into world to live on his own, jumping from the age of 8 to 18. Even as an 8 year old, Naoki was less mature then the other kids his age. His closest friend, Naoki, knew this, and asked his parents if they could take him into their home. Naoki’s parents were long retires, very successful businesspeople, and they used their money to start a foster home for orphaned children. Takahiro, however, was taken in as one on foster owners’ own child, and the two friends became brothers. The boys influenced each others’ personalities, each lacking what the other excelled at for a full five years until this day.
Takahiro was now about halfway through the narrow alley way, between two very tall building, and just at the right spot where he could not see end of either side of the alley. Takahiro was simply thinking, “Two whole weeks of non-stop detention. It really sucks, but at least that crummy teacher was fired.”
It was right then that Takahiro felt a hand fall upon his shoulder. “Oh hey Naoki,” he said as he turned his head. “I thought you had a socc—” he then saw that the person behind him was not Naoki, but a tall stranger.
Before Takahiro could react, the stranger said, “Hey there! How would you like to be a hero?” The stranger had an unctuous grin that seemed to disturb Takahiro. “Get off –a me creep!” yelled Takahiro, punching the man in the jaw taking a few steps back. The stranger rubbed his jaw and mumbled to himself: “I’m running out of time…okay, I’ll just be straight forward.” Takahiro began to walk away, and the stranger yelled “Hey kid, this is serious.”
“Seriously disturbing.” Takahiro said over his shoulder. “Go creep on someone a bit more your age.”
The stranger then had a grave expression on his face as he asked, “Do you want your friend to die?”

Chapter 4 The Anzunder

The words of the stranger shot into Takahiro’s ears and mind. He turned around and locked his gaze onto the suspicious man, getting his first good view of him. The stranger had long, straight black hair that went halfway down his back. He wore a fedora with a black feather jutting up from the right side, matching his suit also covered in black feathers, and his black pants and shoes. The sight of all the feathers surprised Takahiro for an instant, but he dashed at the peculiar man and grabbed his collar. “What are you planning to do to Naoki?” the boy demanded.
“I’m planning to save him.” The stranger said with unchanging seriousness. “But by the way you’re treating me, it seems you want him dead.”
“I don’t want him to die!”
“Well he’s going to. The world is going to end soon,” he stranger coolly responded.
“What the hell are young talking about?!” Takahiro asked with red hot anger.
“Have you ever heard of the Anzunder?” The man asked Takahiro. “I’m sure you have. But what you don’t know is that this device of the devil has been discovered, and that it’s about to be used to end civilization and bring about another Soul War.” This stranger’s collar slipped out of Takahiro’s hands, as he was still trying to grasp what he had just heard. “You see,” the man continued, “the man who found the Anzunder cannot activate it himself. As you probably already know, there are some people in this world who have strong enough souls that they can tap into their soul energy while they are not even in their spirit forms. The Anzunder can only activate using this type of energy, and there are two boys in this town who have strong enough souls to fulfill the requirements.” Takahiro was trying take all of this information in as looked down at the ground unsure whether to believe this man’s words. “I’ve managed to pinpoint the location of one of the strong souls—the one that’s inside of you.”
Takahiro now looked straight into the stranger’s eyes. “So you mean…?” He barley whispered.
“That’s right.” The stranger replied. “This is your chance to be a hero. To the world, and to your friend, Naoki. You see, right now, my colleague, who is in possession of the Anzunder, is probably on his way to find Naoki as we speak. If you haven’t already guessed, your friend bears the other strong soul, and he is about to be used to trigger the soul war.” Upon hearing this Takahiro’s eyes opened very wide, emitting the shock he felt inside. His instincts quickly took control of him, and he dashed forward, past the stranger and toward the school. “Naoki’s still at school right now. We have to go help him!” he exclaimed.
“Hey, wait! He’s probably been taken somewhere by this second Re-creator,” yelled the stranger, stopping Takahiro, and causing him to turn back around. “But don’t worry,” continued the stranger. “I have a device the can help us find him. My name’s Hayato by the way. But you’ll remember me as the guy who saved your friend’s life,” he said as he pulled a small black cube the size of a football with a large circle on the top face from a pocket inside of his suit. “This is a soul compass. I can use it to find strong souls, but I need another strong soul to activate it for me. Just grab it with both of your hands on top of mine and I’ll do the rest.”
Without a moment of hesitation, Takahiro reached out to grab the cube. A sinister smile grew on Hayto’s face, and as Takahiro’s fingertips were inches away from Hayato’s a blue, glowing disk flew at the cube. Hayato leapt back, barley dodging the blade as it whizzed in front of Takahiro’s face and sunk halfway into ground a few feet away. Takahiro stood staring forward, dumbfounded, until a voice called from behind. “You idiot!! A second later and the Spirit War would have begun!!” Takahiro turned around seeing Naoki waving his fist in the air at Takahiro, but he just barely managed to mumble, “So….that was….the…..”
“Yes,” Naoki replied. “That little black box is the Anzunder.”

Chapter 5 Soul Drive

“What the hell is going on?! Who are you, Hayato? And what’s that disk that flew at me?” Takahiro questioned in confusion. Another stranger followed behind Naoki.
“I’ll fill you in in a second, but right now we’ve got a fight on our hands.” The new stranger answered.
“So you’re here Katsuo?” Hayato said to the new stranger. “You came a bit too early, my friend.” Hayato then shifts his gaze at Naoki. “And you’ve found the other strong soul, eh Katsuo? It’s seems I’m outnumbered. Especially since you’ve taught this kid about the Soul Drive already. Looks like I’ll have to make this quick!” Hayato stretched out his arm and a long, black, glowing sword materialized in front of his hand. He then bolted at Naoki with the sword in his right hand.
“Naoki, auto-strike your shield!” Katsuo commanded.
“R-right!” Naoki said as the circular blade next to Naoki began to dematerialize and reform in front of Naoki.
“Too late!” Hayato said, lunging his sword forward at Naoki, whose shield had only formed halfway. Naoki used this half-shield to deflect the blade, but Hayato twisted around and made another lunge, hitting the center of the shield fragment.
“This is bad,” Katsuo thought. “Hey kid!” he yelled over at Takahiro. “Have you proclaimed your soul drive yet?”
“I….I don’t think so.” The boy replied.
“Well now you have to fight! What will drive you to fight? What drives your soul?!” Katsuo urgently asked of the boy. Meanwhile, Naoki’s shield gets thrown aside by Hayato’s sword. Hayato then pulls his sword back, preparing to stab Naoki.
“I…” Takahiro began. “I will protect those who I hold dear!!” Red light began to rapidly flow from Takahiro who started to run at Hayato. “I vow,” Takhiro exclaimed with all his passion as he dashed at the enemy and a staff began to materialize at his hand, “I vow that I will protect Naoki!!!!” His staff doubled in size, and he leapt through air taking Hayato’s attention away from Naoki. As he turned around, Takahiro fell from his jump and slammed Hayato in the ribcage with all his strength, sending Hayato sliding across the floor and into a wall. Takahiro then turns toward Naoki. “Who can’t land a single hit?” he said, panting.
“Heh heh. Thanks, bro” Naoki replied with a smile of relief.
“Dammit,” Hayato thought. “I really am outnumbered.”
“Now where’d this awesome staff come from?” Takahiro asked, gazing at the staff as he lifted it into the air.
“Let me give you an explanation now.” Answered Katsuo. “I’m Katsuo. When you proclaimed that you wanted to protect a loved one you stated your Soul Drive, activating your soul energy causing it to spill over its boundaries. This power that you are using right know, took the shape of a staff, the perfect weapon for self-defense, since it will protect you, but not pierce or slice the enemy. Obviously this staff is different than a regular bo staff. All soul weapons have the special ability to ‘auto-strike’. This makes the weapon reappear in your hands, ready for battle.”

“Katsuo came into the school as I was packing my stuff,” Naoki said. “He filled me in on this information, and he told me of that man Hayato. They were colleagues who were working together to find the Anzunder. Hayato was a bit mad, but Katsuo recognized that he was a true genius and believed that he could set Hayato on the right path as they both searched for the Anzundder. Once the two stored it away for later research, Hayato took it and fled. He then searched for someone who could activate the Anzunder.”

“Why didn’t he do it himself?” Takahiro asked. “It looks like he’s got a Strong Soul.”

“Once you use your soul to activate the Anzunder, you cease to live.” Naoki answered.

“I’ll take care of this criminal,” Katsuo said as he looked toward Hayato. “We cannot reveal the fact that the device has been re-discovered, but I can hand him over to the police for assaulting a child. I’ll take the device with me so it can never be used for evil. There should be no place for evil in this world, we would be better off with it eliminated.”

Hayato then became enraged as he belted out, “No place for evil? Bah! You think I wanted to use this device just out of some sick whim? What does today’s society think good is? Laws, restrictions, limits upon our freedom? Stuffing those who are thought to be ‘evil’ into jails and treating them like monsters, sometimes until they die? That is not how I want to live. No one can truly live in a world like that! Imagine a world without these limitations! A beautiful world of chaos. We’d all be free like birds soaring through the air. Everyone can fend for themselves. If you are robbed or murdered by a criminal, it’s your problem for being weak—”

“Shut up!” Naoki interrupted, angrily. “Hiro’s parents were killed by criminals like that! Do you really want to live in a world where children will suffer from such evil? My parents were kind enough to take him in, and we grew up together, so he’s had a family, and grew up fine, but many of these type of children don’t get that type of love and become villains themselves, contributing to even more hatred, creating a chain that never ends!”

“Calm down Naoki,” Takahiro said. “It’s alright. I’m fine. I’ve got you right? You’re not supposed to be the one losing your cool.”

“I agree with you Naoki, pure evil like this should be destroyed. Perhaps, by any means possible.” Katsuo said as he walked toward Hayato and threw his limp body over his shoulder. “Thank you two gentlemen. I’ll take care of Hayato. Meet me back behind the school so that I can help you with what is to become of you and your Soul Drives.” Katsuo then walked toward the end of the alley in the direction of Takahiro’s house and the two boys began to go the other way.

Chapter 6 Good and Evil

“Wow this sure is amazing!” Takahiro said with a large smile on his face. “So Naoki, what is your Soul Weapon anyway?” Naoki extended his arm to materialize a glowing, blue shield at his hand, and Takahiro tried to hold in a laugh. “A shield? AHAHAHAHA!” What are you gonna do with a dinky little shield? Block the enemy to death? HAHAHAHA!!” Naoki then extended his arm sideways and held his shield out as the edge began to glow. After taking a few steps away, he threw the shield at Takahiro, barely missing him and landing it halfway into the ground. Takahiro’s laughter froze and he exclaimed, “What are you trying to do? KILL ME?!?”

“It’s rude to laugh, you know.” The other coolly replied.

“Yeah, cuz its so polite to chop people in half.” Hiro replied sarcastically. “Well you’re just jealous of my awesome weapon!” Takahiro then materialized his glowing, bright red staff at his hand, but it suddenly broke apart into sections connected by chains. “What the…?”

“Hmm, what a strange weapon. Suits you perfectly.” Naoki commented. “Man this is so unbelievable. One crazy guy wants to use us for evil, so he activates your powers, and another guy activated my powers to save us and then just leaves.”

“Well I think this is awesome! Now, I can match up to you. And I can fight to protect you. Hey, what was your Soul Drive anyway?

“I want to provide peace to protect this world, so that no one can ever be hurt again as you were.” Naoki replied. He then recalled what Katsuo said when Naoki first activated his Soul Drive. “Katsuo said something kind of interesting acter I stated my Soul Drive.‘You want peace, hmm? I also wish for a world without evil. Just imagine; we could all be free; no worries or sorrows caused by crime or murder. Just never-ending joy. If only all evil could be terminated. What a world that would be. But Hayato is aiming for the exact opposite! Come; we have to stop him now!’”

“What?” Takahro said, a little thrown off. “Terminate all evil? Kinda harsh if you ask me.”

Naoki then stopped walking and looked at the ground, deep in thought. “…terminate all evil……oh no. Hiro. Katsuo is planning to use Hayato’s soul to activate the Anzunder , and begin the Spirit War to destroy the evil souls. Just think, he said he wanted to achieve peace by any means possible. He was probably specifically thinking of using the Anzunder.”

“Damn! Where the hell did he go?!” Takahiro asked with a tone of panic in his voice.

“He’s probably long gone by now, but we need to find him.”

“Alright,” Takahiro said with an unsure smile. “I’ve got an idea.”

Chapter 7 The Plan

The two boys are standing a flat plain of grass behind the stage at Naoki’s house. Naoki shoves the edge of his shield into the ground at an angle, causing the shield to stick diagonally out of the dirt. Naoki then sits on the upper half of shield and Takahiro on the lower half.
“Are you sure this’ll work?” Naoki asked.

“No idea!” Takahiro replied with a large smile.

Then, with all the parts together, Takahiro puts one end of his staff on the ground. “Here we go!” Takahiro extends a link of staff causing the shield to shoot up, and he continues to extend the staff link by link until the two boys are hundreds of feet in the air. “Now Naoki! Push out as much soul energy as you can!” Takahiro commanded. Naoki closed his eyes and his shield began to emit a large aura of bright blue soul energy. Takahiro extended his feet and jumped sideways off of the shield, pushing the two boys in different directions. He then pulled his chain staff up and wrapped it around Naoki, who held tightly onto the shield. Takahiro focused as Naoki did and dark red soul energy began to flow out of his staff. He pulled Naoki toward him while they were still high in the sky, causing Naoki and Takahiro to fly past each other. “When the cold air of a cool soul goes in direction,” said Hiro as he rushed past his friend, “and the flaming air of the soul of a hot head goes in the other direction…” the two aura’s of soul energy began to swirl together and Takahiro swung Naoki like a pendulum in humungous circles, further mixing the soul energies, “…you get a Soul Tornado!!!” The hot and soul energies whirled together even faster, creating a colossal tornado of soul energy, and a body flew up from the town below.
“There he is, Hiro! Opposite direction!”
“Gothca!!” Takahiro swung Naoki in the opposite direction as the tornado. The body that flew up was Katsuo’s and the two boys yelled “SOUL SMASH!!” as Naoki was hurled dead center into Kastuo sending him flying down at the ground.

Takahiro continues to swing Naoki in the opposite direction of the tornado in order to quell it, and once it was gone he extended his staff to the ground next to Katsuo and slowly descended.
“Yeeeeaaaaahhhhhhh!! It actually worked!” Takahiro exclaimed.
“Heh heh. A tornado made of pure soul energy, only affecting those with Strong Souls, pulling Katsuo up in the air, but causing no other damage. You might not be too bright Hiro, but you have a brilliant style.”

Katsuo was battered on the ground, unable to move. Takahiro looked down at him and said, “So I guess you already weakened Hayato to the point that the tornado didn’t affect him?”

“So you found out my plot, huh?” The injured man barely breathed out.

“That’s right,” Takahiro said. “It’s over Katsuo. There won’t be any Spirit War starin’ as long a me and Naoki are around. After all, if we let that happen, we'd be failing to fulfill our Soul Drives!”

Alright! All done.

Whew, this turned out to be kinda long....

So now we can begin?
