Chapter I
-Xion
My blood ran cold. I stood there in horror as blood dripped from my mouth. "What in the world!?" I started coughing up more blood. As this happens my vision blurred, and I felt weak. I fainted at that spot.
I woke up in a bed, and a person was standing in the doorway. "W-Who are you?" I stuttered my words. "My name is Chrome, I was sent to watch you." He walked over to the side of the bed. "When I found you, you were laying there passed out on your kitchen floor." I shifted my position, and I felt a sharp pain in my lower back. "Oh, and I found this imbedded in your back." He held up what looked like a bloodied bullet. " Uh, that doesn't look good." Chrome looked at me with a sarcastic look on his face. " No duh, it not that hard to figure out that it doesn't look good. You were shot with this."
-Rage
In the fortress of Sir Rage
" Sir Rage, the operation was a complete failure. They shot the wrong person, but there is still a chance, Hollow will show. Then it might not be a complete failure." The servant looked at Sir Rage in disappointment. " Well, Ragican Empire will take down those rag-tag group of rogues. As long as we take down them we will plow down anything. Even if it is taking down my former comrade-in-arms."
In the camp of Liberation Squad -Hollow
"Captain Hollow, Chrome has found his target, but it seems the Empire sent a hitman to kill him. Luckily he is still alive." " Alright, tell him to come back to HQ ASAP. Oh, and Can someone get me tea?" There was a silence. " Alright I'll get my own tea, geez."
In the Medical Tent at the Liberation Squad camp -Xion
"I wonder out of all the others, you took the bullet, poor sap. What a pity." The doctor walked around until he found a bottle of pills. " Here is some pain-killers, only 1 a day." He handed me the bottle. " Alright, thank you." "Ah, it is nothing, but your welcome." I walked out of the medical tent and Chrome was standing there talking to a man with a Dragunov strapped on his back. " Xion, this is Captain Hollow, Captain Hollow this is Xion." " Nice to meet you Xion, I'm the leader of all of them, The Liberation Squad." "Alright." "Our mission is to take down the Ragican Empire and their, leader Sir Rage. He has overstepped his boundaries, by trying to take over the entire world. And this is the last safe haven." "Wow, I didn't know that, I didn't know that much. I just thought they were a organization." "Well, yeah but that isn't why I brought you here. You are the last of the real royal bloodline." " W-wha… What do mean by this!?" I looked at Hollow in horror. " Do you know how the King and Queen of Britain killed and the castle was raided and the occupants killed?" " Yeah, my father told me that it was tragedy." "Well, you are the surviving royal family successor." "Wait how is that possible!?" " The Ragican Empire wanted the royalty destroyed, but you were saved by my Liberation Squad." "W-ha…" I looked at Chrome and Hollow in shock. " So does that mean that I'm royalty?" "Yup, Captain Hollow, here leaded that operation." " I brought you here to train you. Sergeant Fluke come over here!" A man with dirty blond hair and a bulletproof vest walked over. "What is it Hollow?" "Show Xion here the ropes." " Alright, Hollow." He looks over to me. " Hello I'm sergeant Fluke." "I'm Xion."
At the Liberation Squad training yard -Hollow
"Alright, Xion, your fantastic at wielding a sword and a gun." "I don't know, it comes to me naturally." "You'll be a fantastic addition to the Liberation Squad. Hollow what do you think?"
" A good addition." I took a sip of my tea and, walked over to the Main hall ( which is just a tent ) I lifted the flap of the door " Hullo, Captain, nothing on the Empire." He walked back over to computer " But, we did find the location of one of the other camps, they contacted us today." "Alright, Evanz, were counting on you to find the location of Sir Rage." I walked out of the Main hall and went to my tent. I sat down on my bed. "I can't belive that me and Rage are enemies. I can still remember us as the Crew." "Hey, Hollow." I looked up quickly, it was Xion " What is it Xion?" "Um.. Why do you want me to join you?" "Well…" Evanz bursted though the flaps. "Hollow, the Empire is attacking!" "What!? Come on Xion lets go!" We ran to the front lines. " How did they find use Evanz!?" " I don't know, Hollow." Fluke came up and handed Evanz, Xion, and I automatic rifles and broadsword. I slung the broadsword across my back, and started shooting at our attackers.
In the middle of a battlefield -Xion
I rushed in to the heat of the battle, sword drawn. I slashed my way through enemies, one by one. They lay dead at my feet. The shots whizzing past. I heard a battle cry behind me ,but I only turn to face a soldier right behind me. I panicked,and then some hot, tingling, force ran down my arm. I was quick enough to grab his arm, when suddenly my arm burst into flames. Even though, I did panic. And yet they were not hurting me at all, only my adversaries. I used this to my advantage and one-handed my sword and my other on fire. I burnt and then slashed. Their defenses were thinning out slowly. " I'll take you myself."As a brute of a man walked up and swung a giant broadsword at me. He only missed by a hair. "Crap!" I slid to only swing my sword at his feet. I rolled back to my feet and stood up. He swung his sword at me, and it made contact. I was flung to a nearby tree, the sound of the impact was deafening. " XION!" Hollow yelled out. " Yer, friend here isn't breathing because of me. There was the sound of my blade impaling his back. " No, I'm not. Think again." He pummeled to the ground with a loud thud.
The battle was won short after their leader's takedown. Hollow found me resting by a tree right after the battle. "Xion, you okay!?" He sound concerned. " N-no, not really…Ugh, that took a lot out of me. Oh and there is this." I pointed at my stomach, there was a bloody mess.
" Why is always me…."
