Heaven's Flames
Prologue
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
May 13, 1996
"Yo,
Dad."
An
older man, around his mid-forties, looked up from the clutter on his desk. He
grinned at his visitor. Taking off his glasses to reveal green-gray eyes, he
motioned his son over.
"Hey,
Mamoru." The man, Chiba Hiroshi, walked out from behind his desk and
pulled his son into his office.
"What's
up," the boy asked suspiciously. Dad was only this friendly when he wanted
something. "Ya told me to come over the second school was over. Something wrong?"
Hiroshi
held out a thin plastic CD case to his son. "You're my game-tester,
Mamoru. We just finished up the demo on this one. I want you to try it
out."
Mamoru
took hold of the CD and read the title. "'Heaven's Flames'...? Cool."
The young teen plopped himself down on the couch in his father's office and
inserted the disk into the Sega Dreamcast before him. "Better be
good," he mumbled as he flicked on the power switch.
"It
will be." Hiroshi grabbed his coat and began to head out the door.
"I've got a meeting; I'll be back in two hours or so. Beat the game, and
tell me what you think." Mamoru's father winked. "If ya can beat it."
Mamoru
snorted sarcastically at his father's retreating back. Please, all his demos
were so easy. But, Mamoru had to
admit, with his father's cushy job in the Sega business, the teen got to try
out all the new games before anyone else.
Mamoru
took hold of the joy stick with relaxed hands. He didn't even bother reading
the controls (who does?); the game seemed so simple it was laughable. The
raven-haired teen sat back and fought his way through the fantasy worlds of
vampires and sprites in "Heaven's Flames." He sped through the first
three worlds with such ease, he was about to fall asleep from boredom.
Mamoru
blinked in surprise as a giant centaur came rushing onto the screen, sending
the hero sprawling and his HP down to a dangerously low 15. A slow grin made
its way over Mamoru's lips. Finally,
some actually action!
The
teen gripped to controller hard, throwing his whole body into the battle. It
would be hard, sure, to defeat the monster with only 15 HP, but Mamoru was
fairly confident with his gaming skills that he would make it out alive.
That's
when the 'Game Over' sign light up the screen.
Mamoru
gasped; completely appalled that he hadn't seen the centaur's beating coming.
But, before he got a chance to reach for the restart button, the screen began
to tremble. Mamoru watched with wide eyes. Flashing colors danced along the
walls from the game. The blaring background music seemed to fade as the colors
became nearly blinding. A jolt of pain shot through Mamoru as the screen
exploded, sending slivers of glass all over the office.
Mamoru gagged, collapsing to the floor as a seizure swept over his whole body.
