I got this idea while I was spacing out, which I do best lol, and I thought, well, just writing a story about one set of characters would be boring, why not have a character travleing throughout all kinds of places? All I know is, I don't own any of the places or characters in any of the following stories except my own character.

Soldier of Fortune – Part One: The Beginning of the End

Richard was just a 17 years of age, living a modest life on a quiet island known as Eroico Island. It was once an island of heroic Slayers (Warriors who fought using a variety of weapons, mainly Swords, small guns, bows, spears, and two handed swords) who fought in Crusades between different worlds, trying to stop all forms of evil that were trying to get to their world. However, after the crusades, when the worlds were at peace, there was no need for swordsmen anymore, and all the blades of old were only used for display. However, no one thought that they would find a need for weapons anymore, and so nobody trained with them. However one day, monsters started to return to the forests and the shadier parts of town, people started to change, they became secretive, selfish, and hostile. Richard knew something was different. His instinct told him to go and find out what was going on. He had to go to the Tower of Guidance, a tower in the Buio Woods that overlooked the world. If he climbed to the top, he would be able to view the entire world, especialy his town. He went to his room and put on his jeans, combat boots, an olive drab hoodie, an Indiana Jones style hat, and yes, a Rage Against the Machine shirt (it may not be our world, but it's still modern times in their world, and they know who Rage is). He then went into his father's room, and got his family's sword from the mantle. Drawing the 

sword, he relised that it was still sharp and gleaming, though he'd never once seen his father polish it. He sheathed it and put it on his back. Before he went back to his room to grab his cigarettes, he remembered his father's guns. Knowing that he was no expert with a sword, he went into his father's gun box, revealing a variety of handguns. Richard saw one in paticular that caught his eye. It was in a worn leather holster, but gleamed like his sword. It was a an old revolver that looked like something out of a spaghetti western, but it also looked like it could take down an elephant. Putting extra rounds into the loops on his belt, and he holstered the gun and put it on. He grabbed his smokes and began his walk to the tower. He didn't encounter any opposition on the way, but had a sense of foreboding, that something wasn't right about the tower. His suspicions were right though, he walked up to the door only to have it burst off the hinges. Out from the opening came a paticuarly feared villain from one of Richard's history books, it was none other than the Mars Adept Sautoros. Without a word, he drew his sword. He had only one thought on his mind, kill everyone in Eroico. Laying his eyes upon Richard, he decided that he would be his frist victim. Richard drew his sword, he knew who Sautoros was, he knew everything about him, and he wasn't about to retreat. "Boy, you may as well just stab yourself with that", he scoffed. Richard got into a ready position. Sautoros laughed, and held up his left hand, palm facing Richard. "Flare Storm…" Richard was burnt bad, and fell down onto his knees. He shoved his sword into the ground and leaned on it. Looking up he saw the Sautoros was looking down on him. There wasn't much he could do here. Sautoros stared down Richard and walked past him. Richard couldn't let him get to the town. He grit his teeth and got back up. Drawing his gun and cocking it, Sautoros turned around and went to use more psynergy, but Richard squeezed off a desperate shot before he could, and it hit Sautoros. He fell down on one knee. He teleported away not more than a few moments later. Richard ran into the tower and to the top. Upon opening the door that would have led to the final staircase to the roof, but it opened into what looked like a cave. Richard walked in, and the door slammed shut behind him. He limped through the only passageway there was. He needed a medic, 

and fast. He saw light, and went towards it. He collapsed right after walking through the entrence to the cave. It was no cave at all, but in fact Mt. Alpha, though, Richard didn't know that. He rolled onto his back and looked at the sky, when his view was impeded by a young blue haired girl and a short boy with blond hair. His vision blurred, and he blacked out…
