The Prophecy of War
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been inspired by random-ness, boredom, and all thanks to Tsuyoi for the example! I like to take the time to thank you for reading this story. This fan fic is dedicated to you wookie regulars on Anime Linkz. Have fun, laugh hard, and enjoy reading my work. [ Asuka02
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The world has never been the same since its fall at the hands of mankind's last hope. What was should never have been, the outcome: the tragic loss of humanity. After the devastating World War III, many people have perished, and yet the land recuperated as it regained the source of survival. Now, people suffer the consequences of humanity's folly, as they dwell with their sins and the apocalyptic weather that has taken effect. Here, the battle cry of those who fight for good and for bad echoes across the devastation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young man walked through a field of ruins as ashes billowed into the air, swirling around him. He coughed as he surveyed the land, hoping there was still someone left alive. (This never ending plague…this was not the Garden of Eden. But the world would never be the way it used to be. I have to move on, even if there is no one left.) He walked throughout the village and kept his guard up, being very alert.
As he paused by his broken empty home, he suddenly saw his dream girl, standing there in the doorway, smiling. "You're still alive?" He took a tentative step forward, one hand outstretched, longing to caress her. But her image disappeared, leaving only his torn and aching heart. (I guess I'm just seeing things…it can't be her…she died a long time ago. I wasn't strong enough to be by her side and protect her when she needed me…I'm sorry…I am weak, a pathetic loser…) He lifted his face to the heavens and cried in anguish, "Why did this have to happen?! WHY HER?!!!"
Suddenly, he heard someone running in the distance, and started chasing what was a shadow. "Hold it! Come back here!!!" But the person jumped in the air and disappeared into the trees. The ninja looked back, and glanced over at the man, then quickly disappeared into the night. The man sighed deeply, looking up once again at the starry skies. (Could you really have survived that blast? Are you watching me up there?)
[Location: Kristoff Castle
A man dressed in sporty attire and a sweat suit ran into the castle. "Yo what's poppin?!" A dark shadowy figure appeared, "Peppy, what's the status?" He grinned and bows, "My Lord! It appears that in the aftermath, there are still survivors remaining in this realm."
The man let out an evil chuckle, "Then you know what we must do then… rally the troops!!! To think that even a bomb couldn't finish the job?! We have some work to do now, hurry!!"
Pepper dashed off to rally all the men. At the same time, Nazw walked into the dark hallway. "Master! So you haven't given up eh? The prisoners and slaves are not enough to entertain you?" The mysterious man turned to Nazw, "No, I will not stop until the world is mine! Muahaha!!! Find me those soldiers!!"

[Location: Musou Academy
[School Bell Rings
A hyperactive girl ran around in circles, cheering, "Wee!!! Time to go to class!! Hurry up!!! Otherwise I'll stalk you Mortal!!!" The boy ran into the high school, visibly annoyed. "Leave me alone!!! For the last time…stop following me!!!" She laughed and giggled as she grabbed a hold of his backpack. "You have to walk me to class silly!!" He turned away and tried to pull his backpack free. "I'm not gonna do that!!!"
Another guy walked by to greet them. "All right Uni…let him go…its not fun stalking people." She smiled, "Yes it is! I like him!! Look!!! shows cell phone I even got his cell phone number!!!"
Mortal turned and looked at Discipter. "Dude she's creeping me out! Shake her off me!!" Discipter pointed at a different direction. "Look there's someone calling out for you!!" She glanced, "Huh?"
Discipter laughed and told Mortal to run. He sighed, "I guess some things went back to normal." She pushed Discipter and yelled, "Now look at what you did!! I miss my chance to ask him out!!!"
A tall young boy raced past him and yelled, "Hey Discipter!!! Did you hear about a new girl?!!!"
Grimm walked up to them while slinging his backpack to the side in a cool manner. "Did you say new girl?!" Tay's eyes widened, "Yeah so we won't be late. We all have to meet in the auditorium. Everyone is all excited and I can't figure out why." Grimm said, "All right lets go NOW!!!"
Lily sat down in the auditorium and turned to Uni. "What's going on here?" Uni peeked over the seats to look down at the stage. "I see the headmaster. Must be a new student?" Jess walked to the aisle behind them and leaned over. "Look at all the guys in the front…what if it's a guy?"
The girls started to giggle as the curtains pulled open. Lily examined all of the students. "Well it seems like it might be a senior like you Jess." Jess blinked, "You think so Lily? I guess so…I mean look at all the jocks, punks, and losers sitting there. Huh…this student must be special…"
Deez walked down to the front and raised his arms up in the air. "All right!!! Where is the new mami?!!!" Necro searched through the crowd and looked all around. "Why are we here Deez?" Deez scoffed, "We have a mission here and we have to find those Foxes we hunting down later."
Grimm sat down and the lights faded out, while the curtains pulled open. Endetium walked onto the stage with the headmaster, sitting near the podium and looking very sleepy.
He cleared his throat, "Ahem…hello, this is your headmaster speaking. I have a very important announcement. Tomorrow, we will receive a transfer student. She is currently not here today due to some unforeseen circumstances. We will meet her outside to welcome her to our academy."
Endetium waited for the cue, then stood up, taking the podium. "All right. It seems we have divided the academy by its magic type, strength, and agility for what the force stands by. Flairefox is a new mercenary group that will be lead by the new girl. auditorium echoes No need to fear! Foxes you lucky bastards!! You will have one sexy prodigy who has mastered the martial arts, ancient magic, and she's single!!"
The men all started to whistle and roar inside the auditorium. He continues his speech, "Dragon Triad has been assigned to Hei. Yeah the shy boy, who can't really talk to a girl. Hahaha! You lost 7 minutes of your life buddy so don't screw it up!" Hei yells back, "Oh yeah I'm a boss! Respect me!! Damn you!" Endetium looked over at the Olympus members as they stayed quiet.
"Mount Olympus…you horse shits are suppose to be the strongest magic users and you all are slacking off!!! As President I demand to see more of you setting the example for the noobs! Do it Chuck Norris style!! slams his fist down You all need to commence training at once!"
He glanced over the final housing of the academy. "Blood Hounds! You still rule the academy! Keep up the good work! I'm rooting for ya! The best squads will be mercenaries in rank to travel the world! As said those people will be assigned missions! I'm done now give me donuts!!!"
Endetium walked off the stage, heading towards the leader of the Dragon Triad. "Hei you're still a rookie…don't mess up." Hei gave him a cold look, "Look man! I got this! I got this!! I'm the head honcho now so they respect me. Ha! You see my people?! They got my back Endetium!"
All of the students left, and returned to class. Necro jumped in front of Wan and the other girls. "Hello ladies! Would you like to be my friend?" Wan pushed him, and he literally fell down the steps. "No! Now go away!!" Missy and Lily stepped over Necro's head. "Hmph!! You weirdo!"
Necro couldn't even look up and the girls stomped their feet with anger. "Aww no fan service? Damn it! You sure you chicks don't wanna be my friend?!!" They screamed back, "No!!!! What a loser! Geez…no decent guys in our school! Hmph!!!" Necro scoffs, "I was being friendly!!!"
A young looking teacher walked downed the hall, as the girls all admired him in awe. "Sensei!! Hello! Good morning!! He's so smexy!!!" Tsuyoi turned and waved back as he slowly made his entrance to the school.
The man had graduated from college before the beginning World War III, when many countries deployed nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction. Millions of people around the world died to mankind's own intentions. It was land, power, and greed that destroyed everything.
Killing and surviving were now the only things known to all living things. The impact caused the rapid spread of diseases and viral outbreaks. Not only were there regular human-beings, but there were other mutations out there that haunted many cities world-wide.
Tsuyoi blended in with the peers and students in Musou Academy. It was as if he could feel and understand those around him. He opened the door to the teacher's lounge and walked in. Walking over to the coffee machine, he poured himself a cup while listening to the conversation.
The teachers began to gossip about the mysterious student that would soon arrive. "You heard about the girl?!" "She's the prodigy! Yeah the one who survived against the Omega Weapon!!"
An old teacher grabbed his mug and chugged down the coffee. "This will be interesting…it would be nice to finally have a student that comes along this dynasty. It is rare to have a brilliant one."
The Vice Principal smiled, "The girl is known to be the great General's daughter! I'm sure her parents raised her right!! We are lucky to sponsor this child into our academy!!"
More teachers walked through the door carrying their briefcases. Meanwhile, Missy was hidden inside the janitor's closet with a special device to eaves-drop on the teachers' conversation next door. She sat patiently, "Wow...I'll be getting paid to get all the info! giggles Ah…about the new girl?"
The Headmaster looked outside the window. "Yes we must treat this girl with respect as if she was a teacher. There are a lot of things we do not understand about her abilities, but she is a really sweet girl. It will be awhile before she becomes accustomed to the suburban environment."
Tsuyoi sipped his coffee and faced the Headmaster. "Sensei…where did this girl come from may I ask?" The Headmaster looked back at him, "She is from the Mystic Waterfalls. It is a place hidden in Asia; where only the monks and priestesses' live near the temple. Rumor has it that she is the youngest who surpass the limits of all there is to master in life. A prophetic prodigy."
The teachers started to whisper in the lounge. Tsuyoi put his mug down, "So you mean to tell me that this student is like some Goddess?" The Headmaster smiled, "She is one of the survivors of the WWIII impact. Supposedly there are 8 Wonders of the World right? Now think about it."
Tsuyoi's eyes widened, "So its for real?! There are 8 children with God-like powers?! No way that can possibly be true…I don't believe it…that's only a legend!" The Headmaster sat back down, "Believe what you want because honestly Hiro-san…that girl will be your student from now on."
His mouth dropped, "Sensei! bows I am honored to have her in my class!" The other teachers started to get jealous and rant against Tsuyoi. "Sensei?! Why does Tsuyoi get to have that student?! He's just a rookie teacher!" "This is an outrage! We want to be the home room teacher!" Tsuyoi walked out of the teacher's lounge, ignoring the angry yells of the other teachers. BOOM "Huh?! What was that?"
Lila ran down the hall with a box of cookies. "That's what you get you perv!!!" Pepper came running around the corner, chasing her down. "You didn't have to blow up my ALL my lockers!!! Argh!!! Stupid girl!!" Lila stopped and threw cookies back at him. "You two-timing pervert!! I hope you choke on my cookies!!!"
Tsuyoi walked up to Lila. "What's the matter Lila?" She said, "He sexually harassed me! Then said that my cookies weren't safe! And he lied to me!" She stuck her tongue out and threw another hard burnt cookie at Pepper. He was restrained by Necro, "Gah!! I can't stand you anymore!!"
Lila threw a cookie that hit him in the head. "Why don't you just go away?!" Pepper grunted, "Ow!!! That cookie was hard as a rock!!! Hiro-sensei aren't you gonna do something?!!" Tsuyoi sighed, "Lila go back to class. Pepper cool down and take a nap over at the In-School Suspension room. If you don't know how to treat a girl, well think of this girl trying to blow you up again."
Tsuyoi snapped his fingers and the security guards took Pepper away. He yelled and screamed, "I'm gonna get you back Lila!! You watch me! It's not over yet! You just wait till I come up with pranks!!" Necro turned to Lila, "I helped restrained him. Now will you become my friend?"
Lila gave him a fake cookie and it blew up like fireworks. Lila turned away, "Hmph! Take that! I'm with the APU! Anti-Perv Unit!!" She blew her whistle and a bunch of girls appeared to beat him up.
Tsuyoi patted her head, "All right back to class miss. I think with all this going on…things should go back to normal in school." Lila smiled, then skipped away holding her box of cookies.
Discipter walked down the hall as people gave him dirty stares. They whispered, "Shh…don't piss him off…he might do black magic." "He looks so scary." "Look at that freak!" "What a loser!"
He sighed and turned the combination on his locker. Sighing again he thought, "I look Goth and already they think I have some type of Death Note." A girl jumped behind him, taking him by surprise. "Hi Discipter!!!"
The girl smiled while he put his books into his backpack. "Oh hello?" She grabbed onto his backpack, "Will I see you at lunch?" He gave her an awkward look, "Lunch? Aren't you afraid of me?"
She turned away, "I really like you…and I have since last year." Angela sidled up to him and whispered in his ear, "I like you a lot." She quickly kissed him as he glanced over at the people from afar, noticing that they were laughing. His eyes looked at them and back at her, "Are you tricking me?!" She laughed at him.
He gently pushed her to the side. "Yeah well, don't play with me! If anything, you are with the jocks!" His backpack started to go up in flames. As she laughed and pointed at him in mockery, he threw his backpack down. He casted a spell, "Leviathan. Water." His backpack became wet.
She ran away and laughed with her friends. Mortal walked down and patted Discipter in the shoulder. "Man…they never stop do they…only because you look Gothic." In his anger, he flooded the floor with water using magic spell. Angela slipped, falling forward, giving everyone a nice shot of her panties.
Discipter laughed out loud, "I'm glad I didn't hook up with you Granny Panty!!" Mortal laughed along with him and gave him a high five. Together, they walked back to their homeroom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tsuyoi wrote some stuff on the chalkboard. The guys walked inside just as the bell rung. Angela barged in the room and pointed at Discipter. "Get back here!!! I'm gonna beat the crap outta you!" Discipter turns around, "You need to stop making that face or else you'll ruin yourself."
"Hiro-sensei! It looks like a student challenge!" He nodded and casted a force field around the class. The girl charged at Discipter and he casted a sleeping spell on her. "I don't like hitting girls…"
She slowly collapsed and then Tsuyoi waved for security. He looked at his student and chuckled, "Nice job. You took it like a man." Angela was fast asleep. Discipter kicked at her shoes. "Yeah she shuts up when I knock her out. Hahaha! That's what she gets for messing with my kind."
The security guards took her away and Lila gave out more cookies. Lila slams her notebook down. "So Hiro-sensei!! The new girl comes tomorrow?! Is she the leader for Flairefox?!"
Tsuyoi sat down and placed his legs on his desk. "Yeah she'll be here tomorrow and we're lucky to have her in our class. So be nice to her okay? She's coming here from Asia."
Grimm who was resting his head on the desk, started paying attention. Mortal jumped up into the air, "Oh Asian girls have such lovely features! Silky hair…nice complexions…hot bodies!!"
Tay smiled, "First dibs! I'll be the first to talk to the girl!!" All the guys started arguing until Tsuyoi told them to settle down. Uni stood up, "Well sensei, can we throw a party then?"
He looked at Uni, "Well… alright tomorrow we'll spend the entire day trying to get to know her. She is the leader of the force and will help out with the members' training."
Uni started to rapidly text on her mobile to Mortal. His ringtone went off, "Uni! Why are you texting me?! We sit across the classroom!!" She smiled, "I'm trying to shower my affection for you!!" The students laughed as she jumped onto the desks to run right across to Mortal, flinging herself at him.
Mortal ducked under his desk, shouting, "I need a restraining order!! Sensei help me!! I don't want you!! I want this Captain chick!!!" Wan Yuan giggled and watched Uni huggle pounced Mortal.
She said laughingly, "Uni that's enough…it looks like he's been traumatized!" But Uni kept hugging him and he made an irritated expression. Lily said, "Calm down Uni…he's in the same class."
Uni slowly disentangled herself and walked back to her desk, sitting back down. She took 2 wooden pencils, "You an me are a pair. breaks pencils If I can't have Mortal then no one will!" She broke 2 mechanical pencils. Mortal dashed back to his desk frightened by the jealous look in Uni's eyes.
Tsuyoi raised his voice, "Anyways I forgot to mention…there is another student transferring here from another academy. So be good to him because I'm sure he'll fit in just fine. The preliminaries are coming up. Anyone can gain ranks for the taking! So train harder!!"
Grimm stared out the window and ponderd. (There's something about the transfer students…why do I feel like I met them before? After World War III, people don't go by their real names anymore. All of the survivors use alias and start over from scratch. Every record pertaining to people who survived have been wiped out completely. Still I feel uneasy…)
He rested his head on the desk and continued to stare out the window. (I've been training my ass off to get where I want to be, but most people have already forgotten their memories. I feel this burden buried deep in my heart and soul that something is missing. People seem to be happy to be alive and moved on as if nothing had happened. We still fight in order to be free.)
[Location: School Court Yard
[School Bell Rings
Pepper gave a smirk and said, "Hey you Foxes! We found ya!!" Necro and Deez followed Pepper into the basketball court where Discipter, Mortal, and Grimm were playing. The ball hit the rim and bounced back to Deez, who picked it up. Deez spun the ball, claiming "So this is our terroritory! Get the hell outta our spot!!" Discipter yelled, "Hey give us back our basketball! We got a game here!!"
Deez popped the ball with the pressure of his hands. "Here, you can have it back!" Discipter clenched his fists, looking really pissed off. "You better get us another ball!!" Necro stomped on the flattened ball. "We claim both transfer students! We'll make them join the Blood Hounds."
Mortal was confused, "I thought the girl was our Captain? What about the other guy who will be here tomorrow?" Pepper was annoyed, "Don't you know anything?! A transfer student has the right to choose any militia force that they want to join. We want the girl on our side!"
Grimm gave them a mad glare, "She's on our side! Whether you like it or not; she's gonna be our leader and Captain of our force! You can have the other guy!! We don't care!! Anyways like we know about these 2 students?! We haven't even met them in person or know their skills!"
Pepper suddenly blasted them with Demi magic. "Well I challenge you! An official challenge to request a member recruitment!!" Mortal raised his brow, "What are you talking about?!"
He picked up the flattened ball and threw it like a Frisbee at Grimm. "That girl is our piece of meat! You act like you don't know her! Grimm you are such an idiot!!"
Grimm shook his fist, then shot out Meteor Magic. He then sent an uppercut straight at Pepper's face, then kicked him down. The two sides stood face to face. "The foxes take the hounds tomorrow."
Necro looked at all of them. "The new girl will be here in the morning. It's up to her to choose 1 out of the 4 mercenary forces. Our unit will win for sure! Then the land will become our home!"
Discipter scoffed, "All you Blood Hounds want are pussies, land, and money!! You haven't seen our mercenary's potential!! One more month and the battle will begin in Kristoff!"
Deez gave a sinister expression, "You guys are too weak to be supporting her! She's way beyond your magic level. You think she has the patience to teach everyone her skills?!"
Grimm turned his back, "All right then we will see tomorrow! No way you're gonna entice her to join a group of rapists, womanizers, hentai freaks, and disgusting vulgar pigs like yourselves! She wouldn't abandon us! Besides we didn't catch her name! You all know nothing!!"
Pepper threw a smoke bomb. "Oh don't worry Grimm…we know all about her thanks to our Dark Lord. Perhaps you should do some meditating. After all…it is you doesn't remember anything. Maybe you are just a mistake!" He laughed and then threw a flash bomb at the foxes.
All the Flairefox members jump back and coughed, stunned and blinded. Grimm punched Deez's car in anger in the parking lot. The security alarm blaired out. "You guys…lets all go home. Tomorrow is another day. He smashed Deez's car window with his fist. "I have a bad feeling that we'll be getting into more fights. We have to prove to these new students that our mercenary will rise to the top!!" The group walked away, leaving a very smashed up car, the alarm a mere warble now.
The girls all walked together to the bus stop. Uni sighed, "Oh, why won't Mortal text me back?! Ah!! I can't stand waiting for him!! Oh my god, something must have happened to him?!! Noooo Mortal!!"
Missy yawned. "Well, you ARE a stalker! Why not stalk some other guy who likes you?" Lily smiled, "Like the two transfer students huh? Looks like there's gonna be more fights starting tomorrow."
Lila took a bite of her cookies and then proceeded to stuff her mouth with more cookies. "Well why do you say that? Oh look there's Jess and Wan Yuan!! waves See you all tomorrow!!!"
Jess walked to her car, "Come on Wan Yuan! I'll drive you home." Wan smiled, "All right thanks." She sat in the passenger seat. "Say…Jess do you know any of the new transfer students?" Jess paused for a moment. "Yes just the guy who grew up with me a long time ago."
Wan's eyes lit up, "What's his name?!" Jess started the car and looks at Wan. "His name is Zephyr. We were close friends but after World War III…he kinda just vanished."
The girls stayed quiet for a moment. Wan spoke up, "Oh do you like him Jess?!" She took a deep breath, "No it's not like that. We're good friends but he had his own agenda."
They put their seat belts on. Wan looked at her, "Oh I thought you guys like each other or something?" Jess smiled, "He was in love with that girl he swore to protect. I envy him because he probably still hasn't given up on her. I admire him for that as a friend watching his back."
Jess pulled out of the school parking lot and drove away. Meanwhile, on the school rooftop, Endetium spoke to Tsuyoi. "Are you ready for tomorrow?" Tsuyoi chuckled, "Yes. You make it seem like it's a bad thing. Shouldn't you be doing some work around this academy? Getting lazy eh?"
Endetium looked over at the scenery of the school. "Maybe…as long as I get to see a pair of boobs, smoke, eat donuts, and have power over my peers then its all good."
Tsuyoi crossed his arms, thinking. "Yeah! Hm…so have you decided the members yet? Each mercernary group must have a squad to fight under each kingdom. Have you made your choices?"
The senior class President opened a box of donuts and stuffed it in his mouth. "Well no…I'm riding this one out to see where these 2 newbies will do under pressure. I hear they have God-like strength, power, and agility. You see Tsuyoi…I am just looking for more competition."
Hiro-sensei walked off, saying over his shoulder, "Are you still with the Blood Hounds or are you a traitor?" Endetium sarcastically smiled, "Traitor? I'm one lazy man who doesn't give a shit about being in some club or fraternity group. I'm here to have fun, be stronger, and hope to reunite with my friends."
Tsuyoi disappeared down the stairs, calling back, "I don't serve anyone myself. I am here because there is nothing for me to do but help the students. Maybe you should consider welcoming these newbies tomorrow." Endetium stared at the sunset and inhaled on his cigarette, "Its been a long time…welcome back you guys."
