Chrono Crusade: Horns Of Time
Chapter One: Introduction Action
"All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door."- Albert Camus
Somewhere within the United States, within the state of New York and within New York City it was dreary and wet. Thunder crackled followed by lighting and an downpour started. Not too hard that everything was being washed away within the city's streets and not too soft that you can call it a drizzle. In one of the city's high-rise a young man in his early twenties was pacing. He had short blond hair and blue eyes, a medium size build and living within a richly lifestyle.
"What to write about…" he thought, "what to write…Let' s see…" He took a piece of paper and a pencil, slumped himself at his desk and thought.
"Hmmm…the boss is gonna kill me if I don't anything new for the paper. Worse, I'll be fired. There's gotta be an idea out there…I just got to think of what to write about…something good." Just then, the phone rang.
"What timing... Maybe I'll get some ideas from this call."
He started for the phone but then stopped. He messaged his head. "Damn. This pain again…what is it?" He picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"It's me…"
"Who?"
"It's me!"
"Who's me?"
"Joshua, you dipshit, it's me, Wolf!"
"Wolf! Why didn't you say so?"
"The Order needs us."
"Now? At a time like this?"
"Yes, now! Now get your butt down to the harbor front. We got work to do."
"Okay, okay…Sheesh. It's never a dull moment is it?" He hung up. Joshua stroked his hair, "Never a dull moment." He took the keys out from the drawer of his bedroom, some cash and his trusted gun, his coat and then headed out the door. It was still raining and Joshua had gotten soaken wet when he arrived at his destination. A black haired person with a brown trench coat and who was wearing a Dick Tracy-like hat was waiting for him.
"Not like to make your partner wait," he said with a smile.
"Shut up, Wolf. I don't need your shit from you right now…"
"Yeah, yeah. I know you've got a deadline with the paper. Your last chance…Got your gun?"
Joshua took it out. It was a P226: SIG automated gun. "Never leave home without it."
"Really?"
"No. You think I'm crazy enough to carry this thin around with me?"
"Yes."
"Again, shut up."
The two then burst right inside the warehouse. Darkness was only seen.
"Can't see a thing," Wolf observed.
"Thank you for pointing the obvious."
"Right…" Suddenly, they heard some noises. It was that of a gushing wind.
"What was that?" Wolf asked.
"That doesn't sound good," Joshua replied. The gushing of wind noise started to get louder. Then a purple mist covered the room and the doors slammed shut. Then the mist started to thicken and black shrouded beings with black claws and red eyes began to pop out.
"Watchers…" Wolf said while pulling out his gun.
"No shit. What are they doing here?" Joshua shot some watchers who were coming up everywhere.
"I don't know and I don't care. The Order wants us to get rid of these guys and that is what we're going to do!"
The two went on a killing frenzy. There were in large numbers and a few close calls. During the battle, a conversation arose.
"Where's our backup!" Joshua asked frantically.
"They're all in other missions! We were the closest ones here!"
"Wolf! I don't think that these Scareds are working! They keep on popping up!"
"Then try your Gospels!"
"I've got two left!"
"Then give me one! I don't have any!"
Joshua tossed a bullet with strange engravings to Wolf and he loaded it up. Wolf took a shot and a great blast was fired, killing most of the watchers. However they kept on coming.
"No good. Joshua, why don't you try yours!"
"Okay…" Joshua began to take a deep breath and was going to fire, just like he always does. However something happened to him. He felt a sharp pain in his head. "Dammit. What the hell was that?" He shook it off and stalled for a while.
"Joshua! What the hell are you waiting for! Shoot!"
Joshua took a shot and a big blue blast engulfed the whole room. It blew all the watchers and also a big huge hole in the wall. When the dust cleared, nothing stirred.
Wolf coughed, "Joshua. What the heck?"
"I don't know," Joshua said shaking his head. "I felt a pain and then took my shot. This never happened before."
"Well whatever it is. It saved us from a lot of trouble."
"Yeah…"
Sirens were heard everywhere. Soon a mixture of Order officers and the NYPD were everywhere. A nurse took a look at Wolf and Joshua.
"You okay?" asked Wolf once the nurse was done with him.
"Yeah. I gotten that pain checked out but the nurse said it was a migraine."
"You're kidding? Did you have that pain before?"
"Yeah. I had some doctors check it out. All of them had the same answer."
"And that was?"
"A migraine. Take some pain killers and I'm better. Tried that. Didn't work…"
"Doctors…you can't trust them," Wolf joked. "By the way…you've got to explain to Sister Azmaria about that big fat bill for the warehouse."
"I know."
"Then there's the deadline for the paper."
"I know."
"And there's always…"
"Enough Wolf! You're my partner not my mother!"
"Sorry."
Joshua walked over to his car with Wolf following him. "I'll meet you back at the Order tomorrow, in the afternoon."
"Sure Josh. You take care."
"You too." Joshua then looked at the mess he did with his shot. "Sister Azmaria's going to kill me for this. The mess at the harbor front. Another apology letter. Then there's the deadline and I've got nothing for the paper. Hoy, what a night."
He sped off into the darkness.
I hope that there wasn't any problems with the story so far. Please R&R. New characters await inside the new chapter!
