I closed the door to my room, walked over to the closet and threw my backpack into it. I looked at myself in the mirror, dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt, sighing i walked to the other side of the room and fell into my bed, and just stayed there for a bit looking at the ceiling. Trying not to let the events of the last week get to me, I gripped the small gold hammer pendent tied to my neck, and thought of then day I got it, one of the last days I was truly happy.
[Flashback, last month]
"You here grandpa, it's Mark, you told me to come over today, remember?" the 17 year old said looking around his grandpa's house. Mark was tall, at nearly 6'1 and had short brown hair, brown eyes and a light tan. He had a slight muscular build, and wore a red T-shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. "Of course I remember, do you think I'm some senile old coot? Don't answer that, I'm in the kitchen" came the voice of his grandfather. Walking into the kitchen he saw his grandpa sitting at the table, he had a big grin under that snow white beard, making Mark think back to when he thought he was actually Santa Clause due to his appearance. He then noticed he was holding a small shinning object "What do you got there grandpa?" Mark asked slightly curious. "This is what I called you over for, this has been in our family for generations, it is known as Thor's gift and it's said that it was given to our ancestors after aiding Thor in battle after he was ambushed by giants" Grandpa told him, with a nostalgic look on his face. "It is normally passed down from father to son, but because your father passed away so long ago, I held onto it all these years, so that you would get it one day" his grandpa stated and looked to him.
Holding it by the twine that was wrapped around the handle the old man handed it to Mark, who looked at it with wonder. It was a bit rough, but still looked beautiful, upon closer inspection Mark noticed that their where runes etched into the head of the hammer. "What do these runes mean grandpa" Mark looked to his grandpa with childlike wonder. "According to the story, those runes were part of the gift, it allows the owner one wish to be granted, as long as they're part of our bloodline" his grandpa said in an as-matter-of-fact kind of voice. His grandpa sat there with a smug look on his face, till Mark looked at him with half lidded eyes and bluntly said "I call bull". His grandpa looked at him seriously for a second then he burst out laughing, and mark started laughing with him.
[Back to the present Mark]
Still gripping the pendent I thought to myself 'that was the last time I saw grandpa, just because I was too busy to take an hour out of a day.' Getting up from the bed I went to the laptop on my desk. I opened it up, logged in, and checked to see what I had downloaded. When I noticed one piece in the list, I smiled. It was the one anime anyone could watch no matter how crappy they felt. "You know, I wish I was in one piece, having adventures with the straw hats, at least there everything always works out in the end" I said to myself, just thinking out loud. Just as I was about to open it up, I noticed something was glow a bright yellow, and getting brighter. Looking down I noticed, it was the gift grandpa gave me, Thor's gift!
"W.W...WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted, as I tried to jump from the chair, oh succeeding to fall onto the floor. I backed up on the floor till I hit a wall. I sat up just as it suddenly started to float, then it stopped in mid air when it was pointing ahead of me, with the twine still around my neck. Out of the top of the hammer a small beam shot out a few inches in front of me. At the end, it started expanding till it made a big blue circle and the beam disappeared.
Then the pendant starts to pull me towards the circle, with enough force to drag me! I struggled with it, hoping I could pull it back, but to no avail. As I slowly was dragged through the threshold, I shouted "CRAP, CRAP, CRAP, CRA..." and that was it, as soon as I was in, I blacked out.
[?]
As consciousness returned to me I had a feeling of weightlessness, and another strange feeling welling up inside of me. I opened my eyes to see, well to see blue. "Where the hell am I" I said groggily, still not fully awake. When a white flashed in the corner of my eye, I looked to my right, and saw something big and white.
Still confused I looked around, seeing a lot more white, then I looked up seeing more blue and a green blur that was getting larger and larger. Thinking for a second things I realized, "I'm falling from the sky" I said groggily. "Wait...I'M FALLING FROM THE SKY" I yelled, now fully realizing what was happening. 'Crap what the hell do I do' I thought, looking down. I could now see the green blur was and a large island with a mountain, a river and a large plain. There was also a thick forest, THAT I WAS FALLING TOWARDS.
Now panicking, I began to flap my arms like a bird, I prayed to any god that would listen, I even tried to air swim towards the ocean. When nothing worked I just looked down, and readied myself for my fate.
[On the island, Marks pov]
"Well I am not doing that ever again" Mark said, lifting himself up and out of the crater he made. Looking at it he said to himself "how am I alive? I mean I had to have fallen from pretty high up" he said looking up to the sky. He shook his head and looked around. "Just where am I now, and are there any people here I wonder" he said to himself. He still had a strange feeling, but now it felt like it was coursing through and around his body. Passing it off as adrenalin from the fall he dusted himself off.
Suddenly a load roar went through the forest, followed by yell that sounded human. "Crap, someone else is here, but they're in trouble" Mark said, running off in the direction he thought the voice came from. After about ten minutes of running, he came to the edge of a grassy clearing. He saw something he liked, a beautiful girl dressed in some sort of purple martial arts uniform with short, white hair. Then he saw something he didn't like, a black bear, bigger than a tank.
The bear started to swinging at the girl with it's the claws, and she deftly dodged. She ran up the bears extended arm gave it a swift kick to the side of the head. That just pissed it of more, as it just roared and tried to swat her with the other paw. She dodged, but stumbled when she landed, giving the bear enough time to swat her with his paw, sending a quite a few meters away. She was on the ground, and she was hurt. The bear slowly turned towards her, and started to lick its lips. "Crap she needs help" mark said as he took off running full tilt towards the bear. The strange energy he'd been feeling seemed to grow stronger, and give himself some more strength. Mark body checked the bear with all his might sending the bear rolling away. Mark looked towards the bear with disbelief then with a grin shouted "AND STAY DOWN BOO BOO, OR ELSE!" He rubbed his shoulder, which hurt like hell. 'I can't believe that worked and that I didn't break anything' mark thought to himself. He looked to the nearby form of the girl, who was lying in the grass unconscious, she looked about his age. He was about to try wake her up when he heard a deep growl behind him, turning around slowly, he saw the bear standing on its hind legs, now about two stories, and very angry. "Hehehe, uhhhh… sorry bout the whole stay down boo boo thing, um uh... LOOK A GIANT FAT COW" Mark said, pointing behind the giant bear. The bear turned around, drooling until he saw nothing but the empty clearing. Growling the bear turned around to more empty space, making the bear sweatdrop.
[Somewhere in the forest, General pov]
Mark was running through the woods holding the unconscious girl bridal style, taking a look behind him every now and then. "woo hoo, I can't believe that worked, i thought for sure I'd be bear food" Mark said to himself. Running a little farther Mark stopped behind some trees to take a break, setting the girl down he stood up and let out a sigh. "boy do I have the best luck or what, I end up here, and before I even get a chance to get my bearings straight here I end up having to tackle a giant grizzly, no today is not my day" Mark said to himself. "At least you didn't get hit by it"came a voice beside him "I guess your right about that" Mark answered absent-mindedly. A sudden realization came to him and he looked over to see the girl now sitting up. "Thank you for helping me back there, My name's Yuki, what's yours" she said, looking to him with an impassive face. Mark was about to reply, but then he saw a familiar face peek around the tree, growling "Shit" he said. The bear raised his paw for swipe, and as he was about to swing at Yuki, Mark picked her up and threw her out of the way. The bear swung and slashed Marks chest with his claws, sending him flying backwards and slamming into a tree. Yuki got up and tried to run towards him, but her way was blocked by another swipe from the bear. She turned to the bear, took a fighting stance and said "bring it ugly"
[ The forest, mark's point of view]
As I slowly regained consciousness I realized I was laying face down on the ground, not remembering how I got there. I tried to get up, only for a jolt of pain to go through me, causing me to violently cough up a bit of blood. I rolled onto my back and after looking around, I began to remember what happened. Looking myself over, I saw three deep gashes on my torso. I began forcing myself up, and after a little trouble and a lot of pain, I was standing. I put my hand on a tree to steady myself and looked for the bear and Yuki. I could see them both a distance away, still fighting.
'Damn it I'm to weak to help her, so she has to fight that monster by herself' I thought, clenching my fist. "I need to be stronger, I need to be stronger, I NEED TO BE STRONGER" I said, yelling the last part hand slamming my fist into the tree. Suddenly I saw a bright flash of silver and when I tried to cover my eyes with my hand, I realized it was coming from me! My body had a silver aura around it, and as suddenly as it came, It started to fade into me. When I absorbed it all, my muscles suddenly expanded and my pain faded away. "W..WHAT THE HELL" I shouted looking at myself, shocked over what just happened. My curiosity was cut short when I heard the bear roar again. Looking over I saw the bear now attacking even faster and more wild then before, forcing Yuki to stick to dodging. I ran towards them, and I was nearing the pair, Yuki had backed into a tree and was about to be crushed by the bears paw. I ran as fast as I could, and just as the bear was about to connect with its attack, I was able to grab its arm and stop it with some difficulty. The bear had a bewildered look so I quickly looked to Yuki, who had a similar expression and said "Now would be a good time to move, I'm not sure how long I can hold boo boo here". She just nodded and moved to the side, nodding to her I turned back to the bear and with a grin, pulled him to the ground. When he fell, I let go and rushed towards his head, giving a strong kick that sent him in the air momentarily. He then landed on his back, and not wanting to let up, I jumped and landed on it's stomach. I then proceeded to throw everything I had at him in a flurry of punches and kicks. I managed to knock the giant out by the time I realized I was slowly losing whatever power I seemed to have gained. Hoping down from the bear I saw Yuki nearby, now with the same impassive face she had when she introduced herself. I started walking towards her when my strength completely vanished, and the pain returned. I doubled over, as pain like I've never known sparked through my entire body. I heard Yuki shout something as I fell, but I couldn't make it out. As I faded out of consciousness, I thought I heard my Grandpa, telling me to hang in there.
