Random Story #1

[Kage Chaos]

Random stories have almost no rules. You can post as much as you want, you can double post, or even triple post. Only double and triple post if it has been a while since the last post or if you suddenly come up with new idea. Don't just double or triple post for the hell of it. Also, the main and most important rule, try to stick with the same characters and a basic plot throughout the story. This doesn't mean that if someone comes up with the most boring plot ever that you have to stick with it, but you should try to make something from that plot happen in order to introduce a new plot. Anyway, here we go. Someone else can start this one. Try to introduces only a few characters at a time.

The sword flashed through the air, snicking easily through the strands of hair that hung twisting in the wind. Tianon sighed in relief.

"Ok Isaac, that's good. You're done with sword practice today. You need to head back in and get cleaned up for the meeting tonight with your father."

"Yes sir!"

With a jaunty half-salute, the boy sheathed the sword and took off running back toward the complex. Tianon watched him go. "Are we doing the right thing?" he wondered. "That boy hasn't a mean bone in his body, and he's getting the training of an assassin..." He sighed, turning to clean up the training yard. "We never should have begun messing around with genetics..."

[Kage Chaos]

"Just wait 'til tomorrow," Daywin reminded him, "Firearm training. Better remember your Kevlar."

"Yeah. Well, we better go get ready for the meeting," Tianon replied.

"Yes, of course. See you there!" Daywin said and walked off toward her house.

Tianon turned and started towards his house, taking a moment to glance back at Daywin.

[twilightblade]

Daywin was right. He'd better remember his Kevlar. Not that Isaac had bad aim, but El Senor was getting impatient. And he might get a new teacher for Isaac by eliminating Tianon with a little 'accident'. Well, now that the practice grounds were cleaned up, he needed to hurry and prepare his report.

[Kage Chaos]

After getting ready, Tianon gathered his notes, checked them over to make sure he wouldn't forget to mention anything, and went on his way to Isaac's father's house.

Isaac was out in front to greet him, but didn't say much more than a simple, "Hello, sir," before turning to lead him into the house. After a short time waiting, Isaac's father, Dante, entered, followed by Daywin.

"Wait in your room." Dante told Isaac.

Then, waiting until Isaac was out of earshot, he turned to Tianon and asked, "So how's progress?"

"Isaac is doing well. His sword skills are exemplary and he only has a few sessions of firearm training left to master the art." Tianon replied.

"How soon will he be ready for the mission?"

"He has come very far in his combat skills, but it may still be quite some time before he is truly prepared. The knowledge of what he is doing may corrupt his mind. Do you really think it's right to be training him to be an assassin at such an age?"

"Of course, that's why he exists, isn't it?"

"Well, it's true that he was created to be superhuman in many aspects, but--"

"Exactly! There's nothing to worry about. That's why I hired you! You're training him, so he'll be fine, right? So when will he be ready, Tianon?"

"Just a few more sword and firearm lessons, Sir."

"Excellent."

[twilightblade]

Isaac paced restlessly in his room. He knew what his father was planning. And he hated the very thought of the mission. It was time to remind his father of the one person who could stop all of this. It was time he opened that letter from the Red Rider.

[Kage Chaos]

He snatched the envelope from his desk and opened it quickly. He was about to read it when suddenly...

BANG!

[twilightblade]

"Guess he'll need more training..." Daywin remarked as Isaac fell with a drugged dart in his neck. "Wonder what he's got there?" she added as she noticed the letter clutched in his hand... "Something I should know about...?"

[Kage Chaos]

She grabbed the letter from Isaac's clutches and unfolded the letter.

It read:

To Whom It May Concern,

...

[twilightblade]

"If ever the boy known as Isaac Mirabar is unleashed upon this world and time-line as an assassin, let it be known that all who have led him to this course and sent him upon this mission will be dealt with.

Order of Assassins"


There was a short, hand-written note added to the bottom.

"Isaac, if you need help, against either your father or the Order, remember that I will come. ---The Fire"

[Kage Chaos]

Daywin gasped, "Tianon, come here!"

Tianon came into the room, followed by Isaac's father. Daywin handed him the letter and he read it immediately.

"We must make preparations for our own protection, Daywin. Notify the leader."

[twilightblade]

"No need." A voice said quietly. "He already knows quite well what will happen." The air shimmered as from a heat wave, then a red-masked stranger faded into view. He smiled slightly, tiredly, at them, then leaned down and scooped up Isaac.

"I'll leave you to your preparations. The Order should not be far behind me, I should think, although they cannot teleport as I can."

He disappeared into thin air, taking Isaac with him.

[Kage Chaos]

Tianon heaved a sigh of relief. "Good. We're safe, at least for the time being."

[twilightblade]

Isaac's father shook his head grimly. "No, we're not safe. That was The Fire himself. And if he says the Order is not far behind him, then the Order will be here very soon." He faced them. "Tianon, Daywin, go muster the fighters and scouts. Set up a perimeter and system of communication. And hurry!" He nodded once, sharply, wheeled and strode away.

[Kage Chaos]

After making the preparations with Tianon's help, Daywin spoke to Dante, "We're finished. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out. What do you think they'll do to us?"

[twilightblade]

Dante shook his head. "I don't know for certain. But if the Fire took Isaac, you can be sure it won't be anything good." He smiled grimly. "Death will be the least of our worries." He turned away. "But we have El Senor on our side. You can be certain that if they do get through, a lot of them will be very, very dead."

[Kage Chaos]

El Senor was the most powerful person that any of them had ever met. The Fire was quite likely either his equal, or perhaps more powerful. Nobody really knew. If it ever came down to a final battle, which wasn't likely, because the two leaders usually kept themselves out of such matters, the battle would last longer than any battle that Tianon or Daywin had ever seen.

[twilightblade]

Tianon shook his head. "Don't worry too much Daywin. Dante is always a bit pessimistic. He's more right than he knows. We have El Senor on our side, and El Senor won't let them break through. We'll be safe enough." He smiled a little. "For all that he's a cold-hearted man, he uses his ruthlessness to good effect against enemies."

(There seems to be only you two posting, and I don't see how I can jump in. Give me an opening, ja?)

[twilightblade]

(Ja. lol. Si, si. No esta una problema. Just jump in. lol. Try being the Order, or just bring in another char. Then we can come back and modify these two posts into being relevant to the story.)

[Kage Chaos]

Indeed. Just jump in. It's random, so as long as you don't destroy the plot, you'll only be adding to and improving the story. Go ahead. Do it!

[twilightblade]

Hmm. Looks like we have to keep going anyway Kage... Well, then...

[Kage Chaos]

A few moments later, Tianon and Daywin had prepared the defenses. El Senor had arrived, and they all waited for the fight to begin.

[twilightblade]

It started with a whisper. A dart whipped past Daywin's head and thunked into the wall. "Everybody down!" Tianon yelled, droppng to the floor and drawing his gun.

[Kage Chaos]

Daywin and Tianon hit the floor just as three more darts came flying through the open window.

"Who the hell forgot to close the window!!?" Tianon yelled.
