I don't own any of Namco, SoulCalibur 3(or III whichever you prefer.), but I do own my created character (which you will find out who.) When you R&R don't ask me why a certain character wasn't in the story, characters will come at different times in the story so don't worry also NO FLAMES. So enjoy the story.
Chapter 1: Setting of the pieces
It's quiet for once. Soul edge is finally gone. With this the world can finally rest. All of the world seems to be quiet except for the island of Japan. Autumn's breeze carries a slight briskness during this beautiful afternoon. The sakura petals are falling to the ground with a certain dying grace. Under a sakura tree suprisingly taking a nap is the war lover, Mitsurugi. It was strange to see him not moving about looking for war around the world. His sleeping truly meant the world was at peace. He for once wanted to stay somewhere hoping for something to happen, his wish was going to come true. An odd man stepped from behind the tree Mitsurugi was sleeping under. The man had a murderous intent. Knowing what Mitsurugi had done many people wanted to kill him, but this man had a different reason, almost as if to prove something. The assailant crept closer and closer until he was in striking distance and then a clang of Japanese steel was heard. Apparently the assailant was disarmed with one stroke.
"You should pay attention of what you do," Mitsurugi told his failed assassin.
"What do you mean pay attention?" The assassin asked slightly confused. "You should watch where you step is what I mean," Mitsurugi replied while pointing downward. Looking down the assassin relized he had stepped on a fallen branch. "See Arthur, you should check your surroundings before you move in for the kill." Mitsurugi explained to the slightly dumbfounded man.
"But that wasn't there when I was plotting my attack," Arthur whined. "Your right, I placed it there," he said trying not to laugh at his apprentice's failure. Arthur looked at his master with an expression of annoyance. Mitsurugi just laughed as he grabbed his angry apprentice and walked off. Just then a crimson shadow flew from the tree.
Night had now fallen. A cool wind blew throughout the evening. Walking the cold road was a figure of a woman. She was a carrying an umbrella to shield the falling petals. Her apperrance looked that of an outsider, maybe a westerner. No one was on the road that night. Usually many whores and desperate men were here at these hours, but something made this night different. Just then a woman ran out from an alley and bumped into the walking woman.
"Please I beg of you to help me!" the woman asked worridly. " A man back there was trying to rape me and now he wants to kill me!"
"Why do I have to help you?" the woman holding the umbrella asked coldly. "Because he'll try and do it to you if you don't do something." the scared woman replied. A dark figure stepped from the alley, this one seemed like a man. The man, clearly aggrivated, stomped his way toward the two women. The scared woman hid behind the umbrella holder as the man came closer. Coming closer and closer still the umbrella holder finally made her move. The umbrella was thrown up. A falling petal between the umbrella holder and the man was seen cut into four pieces. The man then fell into a pool of his own blood and insides at the scared woman's feet.
"You...your...your that...that," the woman was at a loss of words.
"I see you have an idea of who I am," the umbrella holding woman said.
"Your Setsuka," the now horrified woman replied.
"Yes I am, now go home before I kill you too," Setsuka demanded. The horrified woman turned and ran off. Setsuka picked up her umbrella, sheathed her sword, and walked off into the darkness.
"Ha, she is mean," a voice in the shadows whispered to itself. The shadow made a little snicker and disappered leaving a blooming cherry blossom in its spot.
Ok chapter one is over. I know it was kinda short but the other chapters will be longer. So here's a recap. Soul Edge is gone, Mitsurugi took in Arthur as his apprentice and someone was keeping tabs on Mitsurugi, Setsuka saved a whore from a sexual offender, and somebody or something was in the shadows watching Setsuka. SO you can at least expect something crazy next chapter. Ok till next chapter.
