This was my first story. It is short... very short... the names are from Yuyu Hakusho, and due to my third story in this series, this can be counted as an alternate universe for Yuyu Hakusho

The Last Stand

Terrorists Attack

Welcome to San Francisco, said the boy who was buying time for his brother to activate the trap. You see the boy was talking to terrorists, and him and his brothers had found out that they planned on blowing up sky scraper, which would fall and hit the guard station allowing terrorists to drop a bomb unnoticed straight onto a plane the president was boarding. This act would kill the president and leave our country in a state of despair weakening our defenses, and the only people who can stop them are the three boys Yusuke, Heie, and Yoko.

The boys split up, Yusuke would distract the terrorists, Yoko would set the trap, and Hiei would warn the president. But the president would not listen to Hiei because Hiei was only a kid. Then Yoko's trap failed because of his Younger brother Shiuchi, who had followed him through the heater vent were the trap was set and began asking questions and would yell if Yoko didn't answer and Yoko didn't hear the question so Shuichi yelled and the terrorists found out the trap. They pushed Yusuke to the ground and activated the bomb the second the plane began moving. Now comes the greatest race ever and the last race for over many years unless Hiei can persuade the president in time.

While Yusuke runs toward the plane Heie continues to yell while Yoko tries to warn the pilots through the radio. But because they were so busy concentrating on stopping the plane, they didn't notice Magiocha Saika the mercenary Sniper that has never missed his target. Magiocha Saika was aiming for the plane but right before he shot Yoko saw him and threw a pebble. It hit the gun and the gun hit the gas tank instead causing the plane to blow up. The president escaped using a parachute but Magiocha hit him in mid air killing the president, the three boys had failed.

The Last Stand Part 2

End of the line

Twenty years have passed and the boys have been trapped in their young bodies because of a drug slipped to them by Magiocha. They have become leaders of the resistance against the terrorists but they have very few men. Their only chance is to use the same strategy the terrorists used against their leader twenty years ago, Yusuke would be the sniper, Shuichi would distract the guards while Yoko slipped a virus in the computer where the radar is so that Hiei who was in the plane dropping the bomb could get by without being detected, if it worked the terrorist leader would die thus switching the morale level the plan began at the guard tower. Shuichi created a distraction and the rest worked as well. The war had ended and America had won, Or had they? The terrorists were sure to take revenge and the Americans were half starved and bruised every where some would never walk again others were so freaked out, they had permanently lost their voice. The terrorists still had an advantage. It took a year to gather enough forces and the kids had been given the antidote, which somehow automatically made them age the twenty-one years they had missed so Yusuke and Heie were now Thirty-three while Yoko was thirty-five. They have gathered two million men three thousand tanks five hundred airplanes and one million guns. Now the war will really begin or should I say now the madness will finally end.

As they head towards the enemy Japan joins them nearly doubling their forces. When they reached the fortress they surrounded them from the air the ground and every other place they could position their men. The final battle now begins. The terrorists had also gathered an army and as the war went on neither side was able to stop the other after a week America and the terrorists were forced to retreat except for Yusuke, Hiei, Yoko as well as the terrorists best men Toguro, Suzaku , and Shishi Wakamaru. The terrorists had captured their youngest brother Shuichi, and had forced Yusuke and the others into a tournament. The guns were gone so they were to fight either with their fists or a sword, schimatars, daggers, and bow and arrow.

The Last Stand Part 3

Death Match

The first match is Yoko and Suzaku. Yoko chose a sword and Suzaku chose bow and arrow now the match begins. Suzaku starts by shooting seven exploding arrows Yoko cuts four in half and dodges two but the two he dodged hit a rock and shot him straight into the other arrow. When the dust from the rock cleared they saw two regular pistols Toguro and Yusuke grabbed the guns and the match continued Yoko ran at Suzaku and Suzaku dodged the sword but was hit from behind by the sheath. Suzaku fell and Yoko began to limp out of the ring after stabbing Suzaku to finish the job but Yoko didn't notice that Suzaku had survived and Suzaku used his final arrow causing Yoko to fall into a coma.

It's Hieis' turn to fight and he's up against Shishi Wakamaru but Shishi has a sword that is unbreakable and sharp enough to cut any other steel into pieces, But Hiei is impossibly fast and might be able to get around. Now the match begins Hiei flys at Shishi and slashes but the armor knocks him back he falls to the ground and looks up just in time to dodge Shishis' sword and out of the corner of his eye he sees Shishis' weak spot." He has no side armor? This is to easy" Hiei thought. "What are you waiting for a chance to run away?" said Shishi, " No I'm waiting for the right right chance to strike" Hiei yelled as he lunged at his opponent. Hiei slashes down then turns his sword and Shishi in the side but Shishi brought his sword up and it stabbed through Hiei's stomach. Shishi is dead and Hies almost dead now it's only Yusuke and Toguru. But will Yusuke be able to win while he's had no training and what's more his opponent has been training for fifty years. How can Yusuke possibly win now?

The Last Stand Part 4

End to Madness

Yusuke fires first but misses his target. Then they both shoot and their bullets collide in mid air, they both use it as a chance to fire again both miss then fire again. After that Toguru shoots and Yusuke dodges at the last second, after an hour of this without managing to hit each other they run out of bullets and throw the guns at each other in order to stall the opponent long enough to grab another weapon. They each grabbed two swords and ran at each other. The swords all broke from the force of the blow and they fought with their fists. One punch after another their screams resonating over the horizon. Finally Toguro fell to the ground dead, Yusuke had finally won. Ten years later Hiei had had healed and Yoko was no longer in a coma, America was returning to normal. But nobody ever escaped the horrors of The Last Stand. In the end it truly was the End To Madness.
