I thought, "The sooner I pose this, the more likely I am to get reviews." May not be true, but, on these sites, every minute counts. Anyway, I've been thinking this over a lot, so, this time, it should be at least as good as I'm picturing it. the only thing I haven't thought of yet is how they defeat the bad guy. Or in this case, bad girl.

It was dark. The full moon shone through the sky, as did the stars, casting bright blue lights on a short building on the ground, which appeared to be some kind of military building with a wired fence around it. A man stood with his hands behind his back, waiting as two guards wheeled a rather large box towards him on a dolly & stopped, putting it down.

"What is this?" the man asked of them.

"It is…" One of the guards said, pulling out a crowbar & ripping the front of the box off, revealing a floating silver ball, marked with a red symbol that looked like a moon, turned to its side. It glowed white & blue light reflected on it from the moon as it was uncovered. "…only the thing we have longest searched of in order to keep it secure…"

"No…it can't be…"

"It is."

"Where did you find it?" he demanded.

"Down there." The second guard pointed over the large cliff-like hill, down to the waterfall. "We found it with all the pebbles we stored in this bag." He smiled, sheepishly & pulled up a bag filled with shiny pebbles. The man narrowed his eyes, unimpressed. "Oh, come on. Everyone's looking for pebbles at this time of year."

"It's true, sir…" The other guard rubbed his neck, nervously, giving a sheepish smile as a big drop off sweat made its way down the side of his forehead.

"Never mind that. Put the orb in a secure container & whatever you do…" As he spoke, one of the guards began to pick up the ball as it glowed in his hand. He smiled & his eyes widened just looking at it, not hearing a word his commanding officer was saying. "Don't…" he continued, before the guard walked & tripped on a big rock, falling over & dropping the glowing ball of power. He scrambled to get up to catch before it fell of the hill, but, it fell before he could get to it, down the waterfall & into the river, unharmed, but, now floating away. The clumsy commander stood up & walked over to his boss, who was shaking, his fist clenched.

"Umm…sir?" His boss turned around.

"Do you have any idea what danger you could've caused? If that thing breaks, the whole world could end!" The man turned around & crossed his arms, looking down with a serious look on his face, "I want you to find it. Find it & bring it back, undiscovered, & unharmed. Do not stop until you do!"

"Yes, sir. Right away, sir." The officer saluted his superior & ran inside to call a group to search. The other guard simply stood there & a drop of sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Well…umm…that was…awkward…"

Prologue. I'll go start on the first chapter, now. It'll be good. So, please stay tuned. R & R!

EDIT

Ok, when I said "It'll be good" I was thinking I would have a lot of my bad girl in it, but, actually, probably not if I can write enough to make this chapter like I want it. I have another idea I might use, but, I don't know what chapter. Anyway, I edited this just a little bit. No changes, except for grammar. M first reviewer said she (or he) didn't understand any o it, so, I tried to make it more understandable. Sorry if it wasn't what you wanted, Amethyst Turtle. I tried...maybe I looked at it the wrong way or something, because if this isn't right, then, I don't know what is.

Lol, "sweat-dropped" must have been influenced by someone else becuase I know I've seen it on here somewhere...hmm...
