[] OKAY! This is a reposted story, and slightly rewritten. I have about… 7 chapters written, uhh. The more reviews I get the more chapters I will post! Actually, I will post the second chapter! Without further ramblings I proudly present, I Am The White Shadow. []
For as long as I could remember, I lived in the ruins of the world. For as long as I could remember the Earth has crumbled to its breaking point. I survive as a fugitive, I am the White Shadow, or so I have been dubbed. My real name is Mai, and I am an ansatsusha, or assassin.
The Decepticons have won the war, and most humans have been killed or turned into slaves. Though being who I am, trained in the arts of stealth and swiftness. They haven't been able to catch me yet. Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, has dubbed me White Shadow. For reasons I don't know, he wants me alive. Probably since I've evaded him for so long… Anyway, I am hunted like some prize animal and I don't intend on being caught. And so here I am today, currently residing in Rome, where my story begins for you all.
….
Peering around the side of the building, I spotted the iron panther Ravage. I cursed softly to myself allowing the Decepticons to get so close to me. Straightening my silver hood and swiftly sprinted to the other side of the ruined building, abruptly stopping when I heard the faint scratching of metal. Laserbeak… My thoughts whispered me. I was cornered and there was only one way to go.
"Up…" I whispered aloud turning to begin my climb up the crumbled wall. Swords clanged softly against the stone as I climbed higher and higher. There was no way in hell today would be the end for me. Glancing over the top of the building I glared at the large Mech called Soundwave. I needed a plan, something to get me out of the city and fast. There was a door leading into the building on the top of the roof, I noted carefully slinking into the shadow of the fallen debris. If I could get inside, maybe I could get into the sewers. The plan wasn't exactly foolproof, but it would have to do. Somersaulting to the door I gently opened it. Unfortunately, today wasn't my day. It moaned loudly as I opened it, causing Soundwave to glance over at me, optics narrowed in greed.
"Ravage! Laserbeak! Target acquired!" Soundwave barked to his two minions. The leapt to the top of the building following me down into the darkness of the ruins.
My footpads treaded softly on the tile floor, making hardly any noise. Glowing red optics searched for me everywhere, having trouble locating me since I moved so quickly. I honestly couldn't complain at the luck I had in the situation. Diving down into the cellar, I noted the large manhole. Well, I guess a ninja's intuition is never wrong! I grinned pushing the metal covering aside and descending into the sewers.
….
I sighed with relief slowly my pace to a walk. Damn… I was lucky today, I really need to watch my time in places. Next time maybe one of the Seekers will find me. I won't have much luck running from a jet… I sighed stopping for a moment to rest my weary body. With conditions how they were, limited food, water, shelter, and rest. My body was really taking a beating, inside and out. I had a feeling I couldn't keep this up forever, but as long as I could run freely, by God I would remain an ansatsusha. Rats chirped and skittered around the dried sewer basin, beady red eyes glaring at me for disturbing them. I figured I should get moving again, well. At least out of the sewers for now. As soon as I was about to take my first step, a heard a roar and screech come from behind me.
"Fuck." I broke off into a full sprint down the sewer line, hoping to escape my followers.
I could hear Ravage and Laserbeak behind me as I ran, I decided to use one of my tricks to buy me some time. Reaching into my belt pouch I pulled out a small blue bead-sized smoke bomb. Tossing it behind me I could hear the hisses of discomfort of the two cassettecons. I nearly broke into laughter, but restrained myself and kept running. I could see a faint light near the end of the sewer line and decided it would be my exit. Quickening up my pace I leapt forward toward the light. The line emptied into a lake, glancing around I spotted a rock formation and jumped for it. My hands grabbed the rough surface of the boulders and I pulled myself up. I had no idea where I was now, but I could see a farm house up ahead. Better than nothing, I told myself.
I reached the house and boarded myself in with tables and chairs. I could keep myself safe for the time being while I rested. The house was old, but in rather good condition considering. Dragging myself up the steps of the old house I noted a bed. It was a straw bed with a crude pillow and wool blanket.
"Heh, at least I won't sleep on the ground." I commented aloud creeping over to the bed. Bringing my palm against soft wool quilt I sighed with contentment. For now I would be safe from the damned Decepticons. For now anyway. Taking one more look around the house and outside I decided it was safe enough for a little rest. Climbing inside of bed I closed my eyes and allowed sleep to take me.
[]Stopping here. Lemme know if you want me continue, just had to get a little of that off my mind XD Review pl0x. []
