The storm clouds hung in the skies miles away of ancient Kyoto Japan, slowly moving towards the unexpected town

The storm clouds hung in the skies miles away of ancient Kyoto Japan, slowly moving towards the unexpected town. On the footsteps of a middle class home, sat three young men. The brunette of the bunch looked into the skies and watched as the clouds approached.

"Gee… I… hope things can one day be the same after all this." Said the brunette, who was still looking at the sky with worry in his Ocean blue eyes.

"I doubt that, does a town come back to normal after it is hit by a bomb, no, this shouldn't be any different." Said the silver haired boy to his right. The ocean eyed brunette bowed his head.

"It's not healthy to think like that you know…" said the Ocean eyed brunette.

"Yah, but its neither is losing hope Sora." Said the semi stocky friend to his left; who was looking at the sky. The three watched as the clouds slowly blocked the suns rays as if it would be the last time they'd see the sun.

In the far distance they saw hundreds, maybe thousands of birds flying away from the dark storm clouds. The sight of this sent an eerie feeling down the boy's spines. Sora stood up 6 feet tall; he was 17 years old with broad shoulders. He showed manhood in his features, such as the premature mustache and beard growing in slowly.

Riku the silver haired boy stood up as well to Sora's left. He is 18 and stood at 6 foot 2, he didn't have any facial hair to him but manhood showed without it. On the opposite side of him. The third stood up with him two companions.

Aries stood at 6 foot; he was a bit stocky but showed a manlike sturdiness about him. He had a full fledge beard and mustache like a man in the mountains would have. Incidentally this day was his 17th birthday, but this day was not a day of celebration for the three.

The three started to walk down the dirt road away from the storm. None of them wanted to speak of this day, the day that will change or destroy everything they knew. This day was the start to their potential Armageddon. The day they knew and were destined for since there birth.

The last of the three's birthdays was the day the world would be engaged in the most tense and most likely end of everything. The 666 would either defy or encourage the end of this world. The "End" is at the edge of the human world and moving closer. This day was the day the darkness was ready to begin its reign on the planet. Those who opposed would invoke the wrath of "Him", the ruler of Darkness.

Now the three boys walked off to find a stronghold to fight off the first wave of darkness that came their way to harm them. For they couldn't save the city, but in order to help save the world they had to save as many as they could, and they must be prepared for there future endeavors.

These boys carried two possible destinies, there curse… or there hope. There birthdays showed there destinies for the days of there birth were all on the sixth. They all had random super human abilities aid them. They also knew they couldn't escape this fate, but in there hearts and there minds they choose to aid the world instead of destroying it.

They couldn't control there abilities, further they didn't even know what exactly they were coming from or what they were. But one day an old Gypsy let them know what type of power they each possessed.

Now after all these years of practicing there weapon fighting and survival skills, they looked upon there cruel destiny. Each of them had doubts in themselves about there skills and strength, and were more then scared today.

They walked up to a thick dirty white bricked stronghold. There held those who were informed those who would listen and believe in them. Few of the townspeople believed in there prophecy, but over thirty four young and old men, young 15 woman and children arrived. The three walked up to the barred gate and called for someone to let them in.

The lookout heard there call, and opened the barred gate by untying chains and locks. The three walked into the stronghold and into the eyes of those whose lives were now in their hands.

"You know… I'm scared guys." Said Sora in a low whisper as they walked up to the top of the lookout tower. Aries and Riku looked at him with a frown.

"I think we all are Sora, maybe even more so. To think in just a little while, everything is going to change." Said Aries, who leaned to the side of the wooden lookout tower.

Riku stood forward and spoke "When do you guy's think-BOOM!! The three stood in attention, far off a low explosion noise was heard from everyone. The ground shook from the powerful impact. The clouds in the sky moved unnaturally fast over the sky. It was immensely dark, rain started to fall down from the sky.

"It's begun…" Said Sora in a whisper. The boys ran in alarm down towards the weapons arsenal in the middle of there small fortress. The man inside ran to the arsenal as well, grabbing swords, spears, bows, axes, and bolts. Sora grabbed a two handed long curved sword. Riku Grabbed two duel wielding swords and Mason took a big two handed war axe that stood about 5 feet.

Today was supposed to be the beginning of the end. But Sora, Aries and Riku were going to try and stop that.

Next Chapter.

The three stood back to back on the 2nd level of the non roof fortress. A large group Dark semi humanoid black creature slowly moved in on them. Four of the creatures jumped high in the air at the three boys as the ones on the ground rushed forward at them. In a split second, the boys smirked.

In the Sky a giant gate like door about a continents size emerged facing down on the world. Darkness seeping through the cracks of "The Door".

Sora leaned on his and stabbed forward on one of the dark creatures, as another jumped over its defeated comrade and swiped its claw at Sora, but before it could Aries swung his axe over Sora's head and demolished the creature. Riku hurled himself over Aries's axe, which then he landed on and stabbed another of the black creatures that attacked them.

A figure cloaked in a dark outfit looked upon the boys from the wooden lookout. Only his mouth was visible and so was his smile..

Author's response.

I believe this story will be even greater then my heartless war, and to those who are religious and such, this isn't a religious story or even about religion I just think the 666 plays a big role in this epic tale. For those who have read my material before, I ashore you this will be my most action filled, and most amazing tale I will or have told.
