Chapter 1
No one saw the attack coming. A huge flash of light blinded the police, then the Drow appeared. Havoc covered the city, and soon people realized it could go world wide. The Police and the army tried to hold back the advancing enemy. It was unfortunate that the Drow were too much for them to handle. The Drow had beaten them down and now had the city at their fingertips, rady for the taking. A platoon of their monks were patrolling a street when they heard strange music coupled with words. It was moments before the music had surrounded them. "Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes, Violently it changes (oh no), There is no turning back now, You've woken up the demon in me! " Thats when the strange human appeared and attacked them from behind. The first to notice the human went flying into a brick wall, crushing his skull in a violently bloody mess. The rest of the platoon spun around and surged forward to slaughter the insolent fool. The first of them rushed at their attacker. Two atacked him from the sides with powerful kicks. The human, at their closer inspection was male, casually stepped back and the two Drow ended kicking each other in the head. As their comrades crouple to the ground, another attempt to disorient him with a flurry of kicks and strikes that only someone who had mastered a fighting style could do. Surprised at first, quickly backed off. As the Drow got closer, the male swerved in and out around the barrage of kicks and punches. When one kick came a little too close to his head, he caught it. Quickly, before the dark elf could attack, he snapped the leg in two at the knee. The Drow crashed to the ground, clutching his leg in pain. The rest of the Drow were extremely upset and were about to charge the human when the lead Drow told them to back off.
"He's mine."she told them and walked forward. "What is your name? I would like to know who I am about to pulverize into the ground."
"If you really must know, you witch," he sneered, "it's Kaden. I did my best during your attack to fend you all off, but my effort was to no avail. I still think I can force your species off this planet."
"I highly doubt that you fool. You don't know who is standing in front of you, so you don't get what is about to happen to you."
"Oh I know all right," he laughed, " I haven a doomed drow elf standing in front of me."
"What makes you think I'm doomed?"
"Just the fact of what I did to your friends."
"They're just members of the Army of Lolth. Friends to me they are not."
"Right. Hey, I got an idea. Let's make a wager on this little fight."
"What did you have in mind?"
"If I win, you have to work for me in driving them back. If I lose, I am your slave. If we reach a stalemate, I will just fight along side of you as an ally. Sound fair?"
"Your offer intrigues me. All right, I accept."
The two readied themselves into their fighting stances. The female monk's stance seemed to resemble that of a tiger, Kaden made sure to note that. Forward she lunged with a devastating punch that caught Kaden of guard. At the last second, he brought his knee up and smashed it into her ribs. Both of them staggerd back, and she charged again, this time with a flurry of blows that Kaden had not faced before, but he was up to the challenge. In and out he weaved, parrying and dodging each strike as well as adding his own into the mix. The female Drow was impressed by his display. Oh but he wasn't done yet. Faster and faster his strike went, but she still seemed to keep up the pace and not lose track of him. Both of them seemed to show no signs of tiring out.
An abrupt flash of light stunned the Drow, but Kaden shielded his eyes. A new portal opened up and what appeared to be paladins poured out. Realizing that they were probalby here for the Drow, he turned to face the new enemy. The paladins saw the Drow and Kaden stand there. "Your lucky that we came when we did." the paladin called out,"or you would be dead." The paladin spotted the injured and dead drow on the ground." Or you aren't in trouble. I see you canm handle yourself."
"Right, look. This Drow here and I are in the middle of a fight, if you don't mind we're going to finish this." Kaden sneered." Now get your shiny metal ass away so we can finish this the right way."
"You infidel, you dare mock the armies of Heronious? Do you you want to pay for your evilness?"
Smiling, Kaden raised his hands into the air and started to glow a strange black. The paladins sensed a power so very close to chaos itself. They readied their swords for battle. Kaden looked diectly at them and smiled. "You poor deluded fools, coming here trying to use your power that no one has payed any attention to. There were paladins here in the intitial attack. Now you see the Drow walking around like they own the place. That's because they pretty much do. They won the battle, so they get that right. I respect that as a martial artist. You on the other hand, you waltz in here and act like you have the power to tell them what to do and where to go. Who do you think you are?" Kaden aimed his hands towards the paladins, who were looking ever so pissed. " I think you should learn a valuble lesson." With that being said, Kaden unleashed a huge wave of energy directly at the paladins. Almost all the paladins wee knocked off their feet. Some were knocked unconscious, others were killed. When the paladins opened their eyes, Kaden was pounding their friends into oblivion. "What in the world is this guy?" one paladin yelled.
Another replied," I think he's the incarnation of true chaos or eviil itself."
The paladins scrambled to their feet and proceeded to attack Kaden. Some of the more unexperienced paladins were killed right off. Others were able to keep Kaden at bay. Then the Drow joined in at taking down the paladins. The lead monk stood next to Kaden. "Looks like we're going to be allies after all."
