A young boy walks down a street full of shops with a young girl. The girl is taller than the boy, and is most probably older by a few years.
-= The Boy =-
A short kid, short hair, wearing shorts, shirt, and shoes... (fun sentence lol) Also, wears a long sleeved coat that seems too big for him, the sleeves continuely fall to cover his hands...
-= The Girl =-
Long haired girl wearing a plain looking long skirt. She wears golden bracelets on both her arms.
He drags her along the street by the hand, full of energy, looking at everything... She just follows, keeping quiet, hardly looking at anything...
Boy: Hey, Sis! Look! Look!
No reaction.
Boy: Hmmmm...
A group of thugs come walking down the street and stops in front of the pair...
Thug 1: Hey baby... Wanna come with us?
Thug 2: Ditch the runt and we'll show you a good time!
No reaction.
Thug 1: Hey! Say something! (grabs her by arm)
The boy knocks his hand off of her...
Boy: Don't touch her!
Thug 1: Get lost runt!
Boy: Come on... Let's go Sis...
The boy starts pulling her away from the thugs...
Thug 1: Don't you dare walk away!
They stop, the boy turns his head back quickly and stares at them angrily...
Thug 1: Awwww... Did I make the little kiddie angry?
The boy gets pissed and attempts to go back, but the girl holds his hand tightly refusing to the let him go...
Boy: Sis... Ok...
They go back to walking away...
Thug 1: Hey! What the?
Suddenly, items start flying everywhere striking the thugs down... The boy and the girl continue walking without looking back.
Deep into the mountains, surrounded by trees, a small wooden house stands. It is fenced by crudely attaching sticks all around the perimeter. Two doors, front and back, windows all around with wooden shutters... A thin column of smoke rises from the chimney...
Inside, a fire crackles in the fireplace... Shade and Kari sit in chairs placed around a coffee table (what would these things be called in a world where coffee yet exists lol). Shade puts his legs on the table.
Kari: Hey... You've been holding out on me...
Shade: What are you talking about?
Kari: When you fought Gust... What did you do there?
Shade: Ummmm... I don't know what you're talking about...
Kari: Stop messing around!
Shade: Ok! Ok... That was my... our techinque... The Arc Sabre.
Kari: Yea, yea... Get to the point!
Shade: Well, it's not really that hard... You basically have to channel your energy into the blade and materialize the attack.
Kari: Then why haven't you taught me this before?
Shade: It's not something that I can teach you easily... It's better if you discover it for yourself. You should develop techniques suited for you and your weapon...
Kari: Myself? (holds up Jegen, then swings it and points it at Shade) You better not be lying!
Shade: (hands up in the air, surrendering) Would I lie?
Kari: (puts Jegen more in Shade's face) Yes.
Shade: Well I'm not lying about this!
Kari: Come on! (grabs Shade by the arm) You're gonna show me right now!
Shade: What? Oh look at the time, gotta go! (breaks free and takes off)
Kari: Get back here Shade!
She chases him.
A castle sits on a large flat island in the middle of Viseria... It has several large towers and a wall which surrounds it. A huge metal gate is the only entrance... Deep inside resides a great hall with a throne in the back... Several people, several guards, are there, one on the throne, the others stand in front. Gust then walks in, and kneels before the throne.
Guy on Throne: Look who's finally graced us with his presence...
Big Guy Beside: Shall I dispose of this trash Lord Decon?
-= Decon =-
Decked out in a golden armor, he has a broad sword beside him, and also has a magical staff. Leader.
Decon: That won't be necessary, Baal. I just have to train the dog better...
-= Baal =-
Sort of the big fat muscular type. Also wears armor, and weapon of choice is a battle axe. Second.
Decon steps down from the throne holding the staff...
Decon: Must I always remind you of the power of the Staff of Eternity?
-= Staff of Eternity =- A long magical staff which holds a lot of power. It's a metal rod about 5 feet long... On top sits a large glowing red gem... The bottom of it is actually a large triangular spear head. A weapon with great magical power and still formidble in physical combat...
Gust grits his teeth. Decon holds Eternity over Gust, and the gem starts to glow brightly... Gust starts yelling in pain as a force lifts him by the chest... A spherical barrier flashes around him crushing his body...
Decon: Hehehe... I never do get tired of this...
Decon then swings Eternity around and throws Gust to the floor... He lies motionless, and smoke rises from his body...
Decon: Get up.
Gust gets back up slowly... Then, he quickly draws his katana and strikes at Decon... But the blade hits a barrier before Decon. Decon just stands there staring back at Gust.
Decon: Are you finished yet?
Gust yells while increasing his strength to try to force his way through the barrier.
Decon: Don't you ever get tired of this?
Decon tips Eternity slightly foward and Gust is thrown back... Gust is on the ground, and wipes his mouth. Then, an axe blade appears below his neck. Baal stands before him...
Baal: You've got some guts... Wanna see them for yourself? (raises axe)
Decon: Stop.
Baal stops.
Baal: But...
Decon: Are you defying me as well!?
Baal steps back.
Decon: As for you Gust... Go into the slums and subdue the rebels there. Those insects are getting quite annoying...
Gust stares angrily.
Decon: Don't forget... Your life belongs to me!
Gust gets up and leaves.
Baal: My lord, why don't you allow me to kill him?
Decon: He's no threat... Keeping him around will keep things interesting. And he's probably a lot more competent then you'll ever be...
Baal: What?
Decon: Have you located the sword yet?
Baal: Umm... No my lord... Sorry... I'll...
Decon: (cold stare) Useless fool...
Baal: But sir... That bastard could be plotting something...
Decon: Don't worry about that... My leash on him is shorter than you think... Saedo!
Saedo appears from the shadows in a corner of the room.
Saedo: Yes my lord?
Decon: As usual, go with Gust and report back to me.
Saedo: Yes my lord!
Saedo jumps into the air, and leaps out a window high above the room.
Baal: Him!?
Decon goes and sits back on his throne...
At Ne-chan's diner...
Kari: We should go home now!
Shade: But you're the one who always wants us to make more money...
Shade and Kari stand in front of a bulletin board which has many pieces of paper posted up on it...
Kari: This is more important than that!
Shade: Oh look! Lost puppy...
Kari: Don't ignore me!
Random people enter...
Person 1: Hey, did you hear? Some brat took out a whole gang...
Person 2: Really? A kid did that?
Person 1: Well, the problem is that they're all fine. Nothing major. But they're pissed... They've been tearing up the entire west side looking for those two...
Person 2: Two? There's two of them?
Person 1: Well, the kid drags a girl along with him... His sister or something...
Shade: Kari...
Kari: Let's get those thugs!
Shade: And collect their bounties!
Kari: Let's go ask them where they are...
Shade: Oh don't need to do that... I can find their trail of destruction myself!
Shade leaves the diner and heads off in a random direction. Then Kari watches him come back and head off in the opposite direction. Sweatdrop.
At the scene of destruction...
Thug 1: Damn brat... Just wait til I get my hands on him... I'll kill him!
Random Thug: Boss! We found them! They're hiding out in an abandoned storehouse.
Boss Thug: Abandoned storehouse? That's so predictable it's almost laughable... Let's move out!
At the storehouse...
Boy: Come on Sis... Let's go out and play again!
The girl is sitting on a ledge, and does not respond...
Boy: I'm bored...
Voice: Now there's something we can help you with...
Boy: What the?
The gang of thugs have appeared in the doorway... Some of them carry flamethrowers (primitive ones, wooden tank on back, hose, metal nozzle, fire).
Boss Thug: We'll make sure you'll never be bored in this life again...
Boy: Who are you?
Outside...
Shade: This must be the place...
Kari: Are you sure?
Shade: Yup! The party's in there! Shall we dance?
Kari: Let's!
Shade and Kari step into the abandoned storehouse...
