CHAPTER 1: MEMORIES AND DREAMS OF DESTINY (PROLOGUE I)

Japan. A country where its beautiful culture dwells within its lands. It is also a country where one of the best technology lives. However, there is one particular place wherein some people would just "hide" from these advanced things...

They called is place an "ancient" village. Here in this village, people practice more on traditional ways than modern ways. But, some people still have some modern stuff, like T.V., instant noodles, moivehouse, etc. There are a lot of samurais here in this village.

Some are pure samurais, samurai women, samurai-in-trainings (or fencers, as they would call them), and even young samurais (around 16-years-old). However, the only young samurais in this village are...

"Musashi!" shouted the long, flaming red haired boy. He is wearing a samurai clothes, with his blouse having flaming flames.

"Hurry up, man! I'm starving!"

"Alright, already!" replied the long, thick blue blue haired boy, also wearing samurai clothes, only he's wearing a pair of baggy pants. He's known as Musashi.

"Here! Now stop whining like a baby, will ya, Kojiro?" said Musashi, as he gave a plate full of rice balls and some sushi to the red haired boy, known as Kojiro.

"Well it's about time!" exclaimed Kojiro. Musashi sweatdropped. "Come on, Kojiro. It's only been 15 minutes," said Musashi. "But I'm hungry!" replied Kojiro! "It's all the cook's fault for being so slow!" "Oh, will you keep it down!" said Musashi. "You know we're in a restaurant. Good thing we have enough money to buy some food."

"Yeah... I know..." said Kojiro, as he and Musashi eat their food.

"Hey! Aren't you... Musashi and Kojiro?" said a male voice from behind them. Musashi and Kojiro turned around to see a middle-aged man.

"Hm? Yeah, why?" asked Musashi.

"Really! I can't believe it! I've heard of you guys! But... I thought you were rivals..."

"Yeah, we know..." said Kojiro.

"Really? Why?"

"Well... let's just say that we have been through tough roads together..." said Musashi.

"Well I'll be! That's amazing! Imagine, two rivals become best friends!" said the man.

Musashi and Kojiro exchanged glances. They continued eating. When they were done, they went to an inn to spend the night. It wasn't night time yet, but they made a reservation. They rested outside near the inn, lying under a tree.

"...Musashi?"

"Hm?"

"...Remember the first time you told me that we have to stick together?"

"...After the Wizard of Darkness absorbed you?"

"Yeah..."

Flashback. When Musashi defeated the Wizard, Dark Lumina (his 2nd name) lost all of his powers, including Kojiro, which sends him back in his world. After Musashi placed Lumina back in Spiral Tower, he came back to his world. When he did, the first thing he saw was Kojiro lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Kojiro!" Musashi came closer to Kojiro. "Hey, you all right?" "Huh?" Kojiro opened his eyes, only to see Musashi.

"AAAHHH!" Kojiro jumped away from Musashi. (Musashi sweatdrops) "MUSASHI! What are you gonna do to me! And... where are we?"

"Duh!" replied Musashi. "Home!"

"Home? Really?"

Kojiro surveys the background. Sure enough, it was no other than Japan, their home...

"Wow, I don't believe it, we're home..." said Kojiro. "Yeah, it's sure great to be home again..." replied Musashi.

"But still...!"

Kojiro got his sword and got up on his feet. "I want to duel with you, Musashi!" Musashi looked bored. "What?" he said. "After I saved you from that ugly wizard bastard?"

"Wha-? You mean... that big wizard that almost KILLED me? You... defeated it?"

"Yep. I did. I defeated that thing, but I didn't expect you to be alive."

"I see..." But Kojiro hesitated. "I don't believe you! Maybe you're lying, you liar!"

Kojiro tried to attack Musashi, but he fell onto the ground.

"What the...?" Musashi was puzzled. "Ow..." Kojiro moaned.

"Hmmmm... wait. I get it. Maybe you're still weak." suggested Musashi.

"I AM NOT WEAK! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" shouted Kojiro.

"Shut up. You'll just wear yourself up. If I were you, you'd better rest," suggested Musashi.

"Rest AND THEN duel!" exclaimed Kojiro. "Oh, will you quit it. I just saved your life, and this is how you thank me?" said Musashi. "Hmph! How can I trust you then?" asked Kojiro.

"Easy. Let's stick together from now on. And first things first, I'll help you walk to the nearest clinic."

"...You'd do that... for me?" asked Kojiro.

"Trust me," said Musashi, as he reached his hand to Kojiro.

Kojiro hesitated a bit, but he reached his hand though. They began to find a place to rest, not knowing that this is the start of their rivalry growing into friendship. And these all happened 4 years ago...

End of flashback. Musashi and Kojiro laughed as they share the memories they had together.

It was growing dark, and now the boys are getting a little tired.

"Yawn... well, I guess it's time to hit the sack," said Kojiro. "You're right." replied Musashi. "At least we need some good night's sleep to get find soem more money..."

They went inside the inn, and started to sleep soundly. They sounded like they are having sweet dreams. Sleep tight, Brave Fencer Musashi... there are dreams yet to be seen...

Emptiness. Nothing but emptiness. But as the darkness turned bright, two boys with the same age (16) show up, which they appeared to be sleeping in front of each other. One of them is Musashi, while one of them is a boy with an incredibly zig-zaggy long, brown hair. He's wearing a tight black vest, and is wearing a pair of baggy pants, with an orange cover-up.

They are still sleeping. Then slowly, they both open thier eyes. There, they see each other. Surprised, they slowly got up their feet. They stare at each other, but didn't speak up. Slowly, they reached their hands towards each other. Then, like a mirror, their hands press against each other. They didn't speak up for a while. Now, Musashi speaks up.

"Wh-Who are you?"

The boy didn't speak up for a while, until...

"I'm... I'm Musashi..."

Musashi was surprised. "WHAT!"

The other Musashi speaks up, "I'm... I'm not joking... my name's Musashi."

"But... but..."

"But what? What's your problem? Is something wrong?

"My name... my name's... Musashi..."

GASP!

The brown-haired Musashi woke up. He looked around to see if he really saw the other Musashi.

A dream, he thought. It's just a dream... But it seems so real...

Musashi got out of his bed, and started to dress up. When he's done, he went out of the apartment. He ran as fast as he could. Many people stare at him in a different way.

It's my hair, Musashi thought. It's because my hair's too long, and too freaky. But who cares?

He ran until he reached a motorcycle shop. "Well, you're just in time, Musashi. And I thought you'd be late," said a clerk. "Well, you know me!" said Musashi. I'm NEVER late!" The clerk giggled. "Teenagers these days... well, c'mon! There's gonna be a lot of people checking if one of our motorcycles work..."

Musashi works in a motorcycle shop as a test driver. It wasn't hard for him, since he already tried to ride one a lot of times. He just have to check if any interested costumer would check if a motorcycle is working well. Many people witness Musashi's test drives, and liked his driving abilities.

Hours later...

"Alright, Musashi, break time!"

Oh well, thought Musashi. Musashi started to rest, remembering his favorite katana and his Great Oar that he left in the apartment. He was also thinking about one place where he met the most special person in his life...

Mycella, princess of the Land of Mystics, is known for her kindness, not to mention her beauty. She's 16 years old, having a long orange-brown hair. She's wearing a pretty pink dress, with a mismatched skirt. She's also wearing a unique pair of boots. All the people of Antheum, the village on top of the great beast, Anthedon, admire her. Her parents, Banon and Fermière, may not be king and queen (Banon is the chief of Antheum), but she loves them still.

Now, she's silently thinking about the hero of the Land of Mystics: Samurai Legend Musashi. They both met not too long ago.

To the Mystics, he's a hero. But for her, he's not only a hero; he's also a special person to her. She even felt a little sad when she has to summon him back to his world.

"Princess Mycella!" called a lady with a pair of glasses.

"Huh? Oh! Fontina! Um, what is it?" asked Mycella.

"Well, the other Maidens are looking for you... and you look like you're daydreaming."

"Oh, it's nothing! Hahaha! Ok, I'll be there." said Mycella.

"All right. we'll be waiting..." Fontina walked away, leaving Mycella. Mycella walked forward, but then thought, Oh Musashi... I have to admit it... I really miss you...

I miss you too... Princess Mycella...

"Hey, kid! Snap out of it! There's a customer wanting to see if one of the motorcycles rocks!"

"Huh! Wha! Ah! Sorry! I guess I was daydreaming!" said Musashi.

"Hahaha... I understand... thinking of someone special?"

Musashi blushed a little. "Well... yeah..."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the same country (Japan), the other Musashi and Kojiro are having some lunch. While they are eating, Musashi just remembered something...

4 years ago, he was known as a legendary hero of Allucaneet Kingdom, Brave Fencer Musashi. He was known to have Lumina, the Legendary Sword of Luminescence. It was the same sword where the Wizard of Darkness was sealed within it. Musashi realeased him without knowing the whole truth. Now, Lumina is in Spiral Tower, so that everyone will know that, in the sword, an evil dwells inside...

"So that's the whole truth, huh?"

The King and Queen of Allucaneet Kingdom are in front of a painting of Musashi as they chatted about the whole truth 4 years ago.

"It's just... so amazing that he appeared years ago." said the Queen. "Yes, very magnificent. And very shocking too," replied the King. "Why?" the Queen asked. "Is it because Lumina is actually the home of the evil Wizard?"

"Not only that," replied the King. "But also because... our daughter was kidnapped without our knowledge." The Queen fell silent.

"I was really surprised to find out that our little princess has summoned Brave Fencer Musashi while we were away, just to save the kingdom. What's more surprising, the Thristquencher Empire kidnapped her! And I thought the Empire was a peaceful empire. That is, until Fuhrer Flatski killed the King and Queen of Thristquencher. They wanted Lumina as a ransom for Princess' freedom!

"Sigh... I'm so stupid..."

"Richard..." said the Queen.

"Julianna," said King Richard. "I... I really wish I haven't plan that vacation... I hope she knows this..."

"Don't worry, Richard," replied Queen Julianna. "It's all over now. Besides, you allow her to use some other magic, so that she will not that be so defenceless as before."

"Yeah, I know. I can't believe Dad would do that for me."

Princess Fillet. 15 years old. The Princess of Allucaneet Kingdom. She was known to have summoned Brave Fencer Musashi 4 years ago.

"Alrighty, then," said a young witch. "You mastered almost all the magic I can teach you, Princess." "Yeah, thanks, Seer Bevealy." said Fillet. "Sigh, I'm kinda pooped for today... I think I'll just rest for awhile..."

"Why?" asked Seer Bevealy sheepishly. "Because you're thinking about Musashi?"

Fillet blushed so red. "NO WAY! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT!" shouted Fillet. "BESIDES, HOW CAN I LIKE THAT LITTLE TURD!"

Seer Bevealy sweatdropped. "Well, you've gotta admit it. He saved you long time ago. And besides, maybe he's taller than you think now..." Princess Fillet thought for a while. "Hmmm... maybe you're right... I'm just wondering... how is he right now...?"

"I wonder how she is right now..."

"Eh? Who she, Musashi?"

"Huh? Ah!"

Kojiro stared at Musashi in a funny way. "Oh, I get it... you're thinking of her again; Princess Fillet!" Musashi blushed furiously."Hey! It's... not what you're thinking!" Musashi said angrily.

"Whatever..." said Kojiro. "But at least you still remember those stuff, huh?" Musashi nodded. "Yeah... I know..."

In one country, there are two persons with the same legendary name. They are the heroes of two separate worlds.


Yeah, I know. I gave names to the King and Queen of Allucaneet.
