#1 – Fiery Falcon
It was the start of a new term at school for Falcon. Phasing through his locker restlessly, he took out his chemistry textbook and headed for the lab where his chemistry lessons were conducted. Falcon took a seat on the front row near to Mrs Anton's experiment bench.
"Morning class! First I wanna welcome all of you back to Ramster High." said Mrs Anton as she took a deep breath before she continued.
"As you know, we are exactly three months away from your final exams and I am going to go real strict from this moment."
The whole class groaned. Mrs Anton noticed Falcon being the only one looking at his textbook while others were groaning. She paced towards him and started to talk to him.
"So Falcon..." greeted Anton happily. "How are you feeling now?!"
"A mix feeling of chemistry and spaghetti..." he replied bracingly.
"Eh..." Anton giggled.
"Well... you see... chemistry, a 'lovable' passion that makes people groan while I am here thinking of a plate of nice, hot yummy spaghetti..."
Falcon laughed as he pointed at the image in his textbook. She laughed along with Falcon, although sensing his sarcasm.
Whereas somewhere in an eerie dark lair, a ferocious female creature sat on her throne. It was Wolfia, the evil empress of the wolf empire. Her aim was to conquer Sheepersia, the eternal peaceful and green land where the sheeps lived, and making them her slaves. Her evil intention was brought to nothing by six legendary sheep warriors, but now she was back for revenge and for the land she had always wanted.
"Hehehe..." Wolfia giggled evilly.
"I've waited for this day long enough... this day shall be the most victorious day on my wolf empire's history... this is the day im going to take over Sheepersia!" announced Wolfia.
"MUAHAHAHAHA!!!" There was a long silence after the evil laugh. Her wolf minions stood proud in rows, waiting for her to give any commands...
Back at Ramster High, Falcon was looking for a place where he could sit and eat his lunch. He spotted Eddy sitting below a 'Statue of Liberty' painting by himself reading a magazine, stirring his hot cup of drink. He then walked towards him.
"Hi there. I'm Falcon." Falcon greeted sincerely.
"I'm Eddy, nice to meet you! Do you wanna take a seat or something?!" asked Eddy.
"Why yeah..."
"Have a sit then..."
"Wow thanks man!" Sitting down, Falcon asked... "Are you new? I've never seen you before..."
"Yeah, just got transferred from Beach Side High... you know the high school just outside town!" answered Eddy as he flip the pages on the magazine quickly.
"Oh yeah of course..." mumbled Falcon because he never step out of his town before, not to say knowing Beach Side High.
"You were saying?" Eddy asked him.
"Oh! I meeeaann... the burger! Look at it, sooo... anyway I just have no appetite!" Falcon put the burger into his orange sling bag, now slurping his milkshake.
"Hmmm okay... anyway, care to go out to the library after we finish our drinks?" asked Eddy.
"Sure! I was thinking of that too..." answered Falcon excitedly. In his mind he was thinking... "I MADE A NEW FRIEND TODAY!"
Both of them headed to the library, which was near the center of town. Reaching the library, they spotted a bunch of four students, consisting of two guys and two girls, gathering around something that seems to be a pit. Curiously, they inched their way to the pit and took a peek. Something was glowing down there... a mystery purple colour... they can feel it...
"NO! DON'T GO ANY CLOSER!" shouted of one of the guys. Falcon, shocked at this moment, took a step back. "I'm sorry, it is just that we don't wanna see you drop into it..." the guy apologized. "...yeah, like a pit of no return!" one of the girls cut in.
"I'm Eddy! Nice to meet all of you!" Eddy introduced himself, one of the girls seems to have caught his attention..
"HI! I'm Kit!" said that girl. She extended her right hand towards Eddy. Eddy took it and shook it gently. Both of them slightly blushed.
"Yuna here, nice to meet you guys too!" Yuna let out a smile.
"Me? Silent." As he was trying to observe the glowing thing.
"Koyo here, my parents and I migrated here from Tokyo, Japan a year ago... been in Ramster High for like six months, it is..." greeted Koyo. "Okay that's enough for now, Koyo!" Silent interrupted.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Falcon." added Falcon. "L-O-L i'd say! It is a bird, a plane... a Falcon!" Silent joked. Supposingly Falcon did not take it as a joke and he glared at him. Silent, who expressed no sign of fear, glared back.
At this very moment, six of them froze in their positions, still able to talk.
"What the hell is going on???" Kit asked in fear as she couldn't even move her legs' muscles. The glowing thing rose from beneath and materialized into a two-metre tall, brown and enchanted twig staff with a clear, round crystal ball entangled by four twisting vines from each corner at the top.
"EH... WHAT IS THAT!" screamed Yuna.
The staff slightly tilt. A voice could be heard. "Come... we need you... come..." The teens, now being able to move, stepped forth to touch the crystal ball. Not knowing they were stepping into the pit, they fell into a flash of purple light with the staff following them.
They fell into a patch of grass in a forest, unhurt. An old, wise odd-looking mage walked up and greeted them. He was holding an identical staff with the crystal ball, the one that they touched. "I'm Tasukoi, the advisor mage. Welcome to Sheepersia." They stood up. Kit was slightly frightened. "Am I seeing things or what... oh my gosh, A SHEEP?!" Silent asked curiously. "No, you mean a talking sheep!" continued Falcon. "NONO!!! A standing talking sheep!" Eddy added. The teens were confused of what was happening and Tasukoi could sense it.
"Come... come with me and I'll explain..." Tasukoi requested. The teens followed him with no doubt. Soon, they ended up below a gigantic blueberry tree. He waved his staff at the trunk of the tree and a small circular door appeared. The teens' lower jaw dropped in amazement. "Now enter..." said Tasukoi kindly.
It was a room... so enchanted, with a little table and stools. Sheep paintings hung on the rough brown walls, one of them showed Tasukoi and a little sheep. "DADDY!!! YOU ARE HOME!!!" a little sheep leaped towards Tasukoi.
"Is that your child?" Koyo asked excitedly. "Yes." Tasukoi replied. "Awww... so cute!" said the girls. Tasukoi prodded at a darker patch of the wall with his staff. The mat shifted onto one side, revealing a hidden staircase. Tasukoi then entered, followed by the teens. "I'm bringing you warriors... I MEANT children to the sheep shrine. Now follow me quick, as there are not much time left..." Tasukoi said anxiously, sensing that evil was closing by. "Quat, my child, you stay here."
Back at the lair, Wolfia stood up.
"My loyal minions, it is about time..."
"First two rows, come with me to Sheepersia! The rest I'll summon you when needed." Wolfia commanded. She vanished with her minions in seconds.
Tasukoi and the teens reached the shrine, after climbing a flight of stairs, slightly more than the stairs they went down from Tasukoi's residence. The shrine was carved with a sheep's head, coloured silver.
"So what happens next?" asked Falcon curiously.
"I got to tell why I summoned you children here. Long ago, Sheepersia was a peaceful and eternal land where sheeps lived happily ever after. But until the arrival of Wolfia, the evil empress of the wolf empire. She tried to take over Sheepersia, wanting to make the sheeps her slaves. But it was brought to nothing by six legendary sheep warriors, who had perished with her at this very shrine. Now she is back, and she still wants Sheepersia. But the warriors are no more, the pendants that they used to defeat Wolfia before lies in this shrine for centuries. And you six are the six chosen ones, to take over their places. You've got to help Sheepersia, we need you. I can sense evil is closing by..."
Falcon stepped out. "I'm willing to help!" he said courageously. Eddy, Kit, Yuna, Silent and Koyo just stood there, staring at Falcon. "Guys, come on! If we don't help them, Sheepersia will be doomed!" shouted Falcon seriously. They stood out too, but they were not sincere.
"Now surround the shrine, put your right hands onto it and place your left hands on your heart." Tasukoi ordered. They did so. "Now concentrate!" he added.
Meanwhile, Wolfia and her wolf minions arrived at the entrance of Sheepersia. "ATTACK!" she commanded. Her minions attacked the villager sheeps and the village.
Falcon could feel what the warrior was experiencing... a voice... images flashed through his mind.
"Been... through... so... much... in... my... life... but... i... know... i... must... help... them... NOW!" Falcon glowed in red. A thick black thread materialized around his neck with a red pendant. Falcon shouted, "YES! I DID IT!" The others lost their concentration and turned to Falcon. "Good job, Falcon. You've done it." complimented Tasukoi. "But how did you know..."
"Don't mind that, Falcon. Get to the village side now. Now that you've got the pendant. Look into your heart and find a way that you can use it!" said Tasukoi. Falcon ran to an open area, with the others watching him. He took a deep breath, and he held the pendant close to his heart. For moments he stood there, suddenly his eyes opened. Then he took the pendant and shouted, "Fiery Falcon Blaze!"
His feet lifted off the ground. In the mid air, he glowed red once again. A red breast plate materialized first on his chest, with two circular holes at the back. A pair of beautiful white wings grew from where the two circular holes were. Amidst the transformation, a pair of weightless, crimson iron pants formed where his jeans were. A black helmet, shaped like a star, materialized on his head. Falcon then landed on the ground. He then looked at himself.
For the second time, the others' lower jaw dropped in awe.
"FALCON, OH MY GOODNESS!" exclaimed Eddy.
"HOLY COW!" shouted Kit.
"FLYING PIG!" screamed Koyo.
"No big deal..." said Silent, although in his heart, he was totally shocked.
"..." Yuna just stood there, still.
"Falcon, congratulations! You've done it, you now have control over the fire pendant! But for now, the villagers need you!" said Tasukoi anxiously. "Right on, see ya guys!" said Falcon. Falcon then took flight into the air and flew in the direction of the village. Tasukoi and the others ran after him. Upon reaching the village, he saw Wolfia and her minions. He then landed near them.
"Stop now, u menacing bitch!" Falcon insulted Wolfia.
"Well, well... if it isn't the Fire Sheep Warrior! Except now you've a pair of chicken wings and you're taller, it makes no difference to me! You shall die today anyway!" replied Wolfia.
"Let's see who will die today, Wolfia or whatever!" said Falcon. "Sword of Fire!!!" he commanded. A red-handle sword flew from the sky and into his hands.
"GET HIM!" Wolfia order her minions.
Falcon slashed his sword at every wolf minion who flew at him. Soon they laid back in defeat. "Well, you're quite something... but that something ain't enough to stop me!" Wolfia told him. "Since you've a sword, then I'll get my wand! Wand of Darkness!" A black thick sixty-centimetre wand appeared in her right claw. There was a white jewel in the mouth of the wolf's head which was on top of her wand. "Bye bye warrior!" She rose her wand in the air, gave it a turn and aim at Falcon. A beam of dark essence shot at Falcon, it was so fast that he could not even react. A black shield formed around him and he got trapped. Black bolts of energy shot Falcon in the shield. In his mind, he thought of why he wanted to do this at the first place... maybe he should not even be here. But soon that thought was out of his mind. He was determined to save Sheepersia from Wolfia! "No... I can't lose... I can't let this happen... I must help Sheepersia!!!!" he shouted. Now he was engulfed in fire, the black shield shattered. Just then, Tasukoi and the teens reached the battle area. Falcon rose his sword up in the air and shouted "IGNITE!", the sword caught fire and he flew for Wolfia and slashed her. There was a loud explosion, followed by black smoke. He used his wings to blow away the smoke, revealing defeated Wolfia and her minions.
"Yoooouuu wwwiiiiillll ggeeeeeett iiittt nnnneeexxxtttt ttttiiiimmmmeee!" Wolfia hissed and vanished with her wolf minions.
Falcon materialized back to his usual form and fell onto the grass, looking very exhausted from the battle. There were a few bruises on his face. Tasukoi and the teens ran towards him. "Hey, are you okay Falcon?" Yuna asked concernedly. "I'm tired..." he replied restlessly and fainted.
When he woke up, he found himself on the bed in a very familiar room. "Ohhh my precious Falcon! You're awake!" said his mother happily. Your friends took you back home when you fell into a pit accidentally. "Well, I'll leave you with your friends for now!" With that, his mother left his room and closed the door gently.
"Well..." Falcon said.
"Tasukoi sent us back to our world after you fainted... he said he'll call for us if Sheepersia needs help!" explained Eddy.
"Are you feeling alright?" Yuna asked concernedly again.
"Yeah, im fine. Thanks." Falcon replied with ease.
"Take care of yourself! We gotta head home, it is rather late already! See ya at school tomorrow!" Kit said.
"Yeah and bye." Silent added, staring at Falcon. Falcon stared back at him.
Falcon bid them goodbye and went back to sleep.
