Ch.1 The Meeting

I felt the shock of the energy swords as they clashed. “You’re getting better my apprentice “ I barely heard over the clash of the swords. “Thanks master” I said through clenched teeth. “I’ve been considering advanced training.” “Really” I said as I dropped my blade. “Maybe,” He said as he put his blade to my throat, “But for now it serves as a good diversion.” “That’s not fair” I nearly screamed as he pulled his sword away. He smirked and said “I know, but it works.” “True” I sighed in defeat. “Seriously though I am going to advance you”

I just stood there and stared at him. “You don’t need to joke any more” I said as soon as I could think of what to say. “I’m not joking”
“O my god. Thank you so much.” I cried as I flung myself into his arms.
“No need to thank me, It was you how worked to get this honor. Just remember though that if you don’t try your best this training will destroy you.”
“I know and I won’t let you down.”
“I know you won’t because you would have to try to do that.”
“Really”
“Yes. You know I love you like I would my own child”
“You do?”
“Of coarse. After all I did raise you most of you’re life”
“I love you Master”
“I Love you too. You know what why don’t you take the rest of the night off. Here’s some credits for you to use, go buy yourself something nice, or do something fun.”
“Thank you” I said as I ran out the door.

----------

Walking through the market district was always weird for me. I mean all these people staring at me. It’s unnerving. Almost as if they’d never seen a warrior in the market. But O god did some beautiful women work here. My master always told me chasing women would be a waste of time but I still enjoyed looking.

As I was walking past a stand filled with bows, Deep in thought about if I should buy one of the nicer willow ones, I ran into a red headed girl.

“A-are y-y-you okay?” I asked as I helped her up off the ground. God does she have gorgeous eyes or what.
“Yeah I’m fine” she said and then caught sight of the body armor I was wearing and instantly bowed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to run into you”

“Yeah, you better be sorry. Walking right into a warrior. I should kill you for that” Spike said as he grabbed my arm to lead me away.

“Get the hell off of me Spike. And don’t you dare talk to anyone like that again in my presence” I screamed at him as he let go of me in shock.

“Come on don’t you like me?” He asked.

“I told you A hundred times Spike I’m not interested in guys.”

“Fine”, Spike said with indignity in his voice, “I’ll be going now”.

“You didn’t have to do that for me” The beautiful redhead said as Spike stalked off.

“Why not? Spike’s always a jerk. Besides im sick of him always hitting on me.” I said, “Well its been nice meeting you. I have to head back to the Center City Arena. My Master is waiting for me.”

“It’s been nice meeting you to,” The girl said, “O by the way my name is W1007"

“I hope to see you again soon W17703" I said as I walked away.

Ch.2 A night of disturbance


As I was walking home I couldn’t help but feel giddy. “Why can’t I stop thinking about that girl” I thought as I got closer to the Arena. I was so lost in thought that I almost didn’t notice the people that had started to follow me. I kept on walking so they wouldn’t know I knew they were there. I walked around a corner and stepped into a shadow as I drew my sword. I knew they were trouble when I saw one draw a dagger.

“Move out.” one of them said, “We can’t loose her.”

I heard whispered “yes sirs” and “we wont’s” as they started to separate and walk past. As the last one went by I pushed my sword through his side and up into his lungs. He dropped without a sound so I followed the others. Steadily moving forward I finally caught up with the last one. As I went to plunge the sword into this one I heard a warrior let out a war cry. As the lights started to come on I saw Spike in the distance, his sword plunged into the heart of one of the people. The rest of the people including the one I had been about to kill ran for cover. I pulled out my bow and started loosing arrows at them and managed to hit two of them. Sitting down seemed like a good idea since the guards were looking for the people.

After the search was over, and nothing was found, Spike came over to me and sat down next to me.

“You okay?” Spike asked after a moment of silence.

“Yeah I just……….why would those people be out? I’m pretty sure they were going to kill us but what was there reason?” I asked Spike.

“I don’t know. Your right there shouldn’t be a reason but obviously we need to investigate. These guys knew what they were doing and the base guards won’t know how to deal with them”

“Yeah…….”

“C’mon your master will know what to do with the bodies. He might even be able to identify the uniforms.” Spike said as he bent down to pick up one of the bodies.

“Sounds good”

For the next 20 minutes me and Spike gathered and carried the bodies to the arena. When we got there my master came out to help bring the bodies to his chambers.

“Go patrol and see if you can find anymore” My master said to Spike after all the bodies were in his chamber.

“Yes Sir!” Spike exclaimed as he saluted him.

After Spike left I asked my master, “What do you think master?” as we looked at the strange uniforms on the bodies.

“It looks like we will soon have a civil war on our hands” My master said as he picked up the badge off on of the bodies.

Authors Note: Thsi chapter is written in a unusual way. It was mostly just an experimental way to do it for me and if anyone thinks i shouldnt have say so and i can post the alternate chapter 3. Anyway, Enjoy! =D


Ch.3 Starcrossed Luck

“Civil War?” I asked my master. “Yes. Those people weren’t just random raiders. They knew what they were doing. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they had planned to have you follow them.” He said turning towards me with a tear in his eye.
-----------


“RUN!” I heard somebody scream. This is chaos I thought as I ran past another burning building. How did this all happen. There is no way someone could get this organized. I wasn’t positive but I was pretty sure that half the city was up in flames. These rebels needed to be crushed and soon. Trying to think of were they might go I ran towards the palace hoping to catch them there.
-----------


As I came up on the palace I noticed three of the people in the same garb as the rebels from the night before. I drew my sword and let loose a battle cry as I ran towards them. One of them turned right before I thrust my sword through their chest. The other 2 drew their swords to try to fight me off. The second rebel went down with a quick flick of my blade as he was bisected. The third however was able to put their sword through a gap in my armor and into my shoulder. I hurled my blade at their face in rage and pain. They easily sidestepped the blade and shoved their blade deeper into me. Three more rebels came into view right as an arrow made its way past my leg armor and into my right calf. I dropped to the ground in pain as one of the rebels drew his sword and started walking towards me. He took his hood off and flipped off my helm with his sword. “Time to die for the misery you enforce SCUM!” He screamed as he raised his sword and brought it down towards my head.
--------

Something was wrong with his eyes, he seemed distant. “What aren’t you telling me master?’ I asked him. He sighed as he said “The tattoos on their shoulder are marks of an old people……..ones without slaves and all people had real names.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. People couldn’t have non-coded names. Quizzically I asked my master “Master how could this be. I mean this empire has been around for too long for anyone to remember that stuff…….even if it did exist.” He shook his head “Your right that this empire existed but it wasn’t the only one and it was a weak one. The Nation that this tattoo belongs to ruled the lands about 100 years ago. I will tell you more tomorrow night. For now you need to go get some rest and then I want you training all day tomorrow.” He said, suddenly looking very tired. Yes master.” I said, saluted him, and walked away.
------------


I stood in awe as I saw Fred and Bill drop as the warrior cut them down. I started running towards them as John put his sword into its shoulder. I saw the arrows hit its armor and fall to the ground. I stopped near John as an arrow penetrated its armor and went into its leg. Walt walked towards the “warrior”, as they were called, and knocked its helm off with his sword. Underneath the helm was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, the same warrior that I had ran into the day before. As I noticed Walt raise his sword I screamed “NO!”
---------


“NO!” I heard as I felt the sword stop a hairsbreadth away from my head. I opened my eyes and saw the man with the sword stop and turn to the one whom I presume had screamed.
----------


“What did you just say?” Walt spat at Willow. “I said don’t” Willow said to Walt. Willow tore off her hood and walked towards Tara. Walt stepped in front of her. “What are you doing?” Walt asked Willow. “I’m helping her” Willow said nodding towards Tara. “She helped me yesterday in the market place. She’s not like the others. I think she is supposed to be one of us.” Walt looked like he was about to explode when another rebel ran up and yelled “We need to move to a safe place NOW the warriors are coming in mass.” All the rebels there including Willow yelled in unison “Yes Sir!”

Willow and John carried Tara along with them as the group ran down the streets. Running past burning buildings and through the wreckage on the streets. They eventually got to a building that wasn’t on fire and went inside. The room was brightly lit from the fires outside. There were 4 cots in the room as well as a table covered with blueprints and maps of the city. In the center of the room was a trap door. Walt grabbed the papers off the table and opened the trap door. The rebels with their hoods on still went down first followed closely by Walt. John went down and waited at the bottom for Willow to lower Tara down into the hole. Willow saw shadows flickering on the wall followed shortly by the sound of footsteps. Taking one last look around the room Will jumped into the hole.
