The idea of this story was borrowed from Baka and Test and twisted by some of my friends. As you might know Baka and Test does not belong to me or else the anime would be very different. This is my first story so go easy on me with the reviews. But anyway here is the story.
Angel's Gates: Redemption
Chapter 1
From one to another
1354
I awoke by the toll of the fortress bell. It rang once. Twice. I knew this meant only one thing. Enemies were sighted. I quickly suited up in my nobleman's armor and set out for the gates, prepared for my encounter. My enthusiasm quickly faded as I saw what was before me. Mordic's army had arrived. Many cowards fled at first sight, but the brave few charged at my command. "Commander Akihisa, we will stand by your side for eternity." One soldier told me.
"I admire your bravery at this dark hour" I said to him.
"A dark hour indeed, sire." He knew all of us were going to die.
I had seen my fare share of death through the many long and bloody battles I had witnessed, but this time I was vulnerable and knew of the odds against me. I charged into battle, sword in hand, ready for the first strike and banner raised, signaling the charge, knowing I was to perish this time, I knew I had to choose between living with shame or dying with honor. I chose one option and clung to it. I chose to accept fate and protect the king at all costs. And so I rode out into battle.
I saw the enemy stare dead at me, I swung my sword which hit it's target and heard the clashing of steel and the tearing of flesh. 'One down' I thought to myself. I ran straight for a group of enemy soldiers swinging my sword in a frenzy of slashes and stabs, cutting down everything that stood in my way. When I stopped I looked at my trail of destruction 'God's great gift. Are men of violence' I said to myself while continuing my frenzy.
I struck my sword at the nearest soldier. He let out a horrific scream as he fell with a thud, silenced for eternity. Then almost immediately a soldier surprised me and struck me in the arm, but my armor had saved me once again. However, he managed to break my banner. I threw the reamnants of my banner at another soldier, knocking him out instantly. So I swung my sword at the soldier, beheading him easily, like a hot knife through butter. He was then reduced to mearly a body with no head. I saw another one of my knights in trouble and ran to his aid withought hesitance. He was blood shod and weary. But once he saw me, his spirits lifted. And we worked together to take down the surrounding soldiers. We took down a few more enemies and when I thought we were safe I saw a shadow obscuring my view and soon I felt a sharp pain strike my heart, and I fell to the ground ungracefully, like a proud eagle clipped of it's wings. I saw my comrades fall before me, knowing they served the king well, knowing they tried their best and perished with honor.
I saw blood everywhere. I heard the screams of pain from the dying. I pitied the many good men lost in this God forsaken battle as darkness enveloped me slowly. I was dying with a sin attached to my soul. I was dying, alone.
Then the world before me dissapeared into a dark abyss and I passed into the void.
I thought I was ascending into heaven when I heard a chorus of voices singing my name and praises of glory. But, out of the eternal darkness I saw a bright light calling out to me. I knew who it was immediately.
It was God.
He slowly whispered to me in an eerie tone, "I have noticed your deeds and how hard you have fought for me, but, you have committed a sin, and that was to deal with the devil. However, I will resurrect you in another time period so that you may atone for your sin."
"But what is it that I must complete for you, my Lord?" I asked nervously.
"You must find love. Love that lights your soul with an everlasting flame. Love that brightens even your darkest days. Love that you have faith in. Love that you care about." And with that he vanished leaving me enclosed by this dark prison once again.
2013
My name is Akihisa Yoshii and I am 17 and currently enrolled in class 2F of Fumizuki Academy.
"AAAAHHHHH…." I yelled startled by a loud ringing noise. Noticing it was my alarm clock and that I was late for school I quickly dug through my pile of books, for the year classes, burying me, ate breakfast, consisting of mainly 1/6 of a muffin and dashed, as fast as my feet could carry me, to school.
Upon my arrival I saw my home class teacher, Mr. Nishimura. Everybody calls him Iron Man. "Akihisa Yoshii, this is your first day of attendance in class 2F and YOUR LATE! SO YOU GET A 3 HOUR DETENTION AFTERSCHOOL." He shouted. I took a seat next to my good friend Hideyoshi Kinoshita and Kouta Tsuchiya, while everybody stared at me. I knew this was going to be a very long year….
Me: I hope you like this chapter and feel free to submit any reviews, because I NEED THEM NOW! Anyway thank you for reading. More chapters might come out soon so stay alert.
Hideyoshi: I hope you have nothing suspicious in mind.
Akihisa: I hope so too.
Me: Of course I have nothing in mind. Definitely nothing on my mind. Yup, nothing. Anyway, once again thank you for reading. Bye.
Hideyoshi: Yup, definitely suspicious.
Me: Be quiet.
