Chapter 1- Present Time
War, is a human instinct that thrives when two ideals don't compromise. Although war is not the only path that leads to such simple outcomes. Yet at this time there are such two ideals that conflict with each other and have yet to see any kind of peace agreement. One side is the Empire, a strong, powerful nation that conquers all, however there is certainty that evil exist within it. The other side is the Revolutionary Army, an organization group that seek to overthrow the empire. Having gone on for many years how these two forces face each other has yet to even reach a climax point.
Scion the name of a young man who is a fighter of war. Neither a sellsword or an officer of the Empire or the Revolutionary, he chooses to fight simply because he likes it. So at a certain battle at a certain location at the eastern location of the Empire there Scion quietly watches the battle take place. Behind him is his band of fighters, the Pack of Wolves watching the battle as well and awaited for Scion's orders. This is where the story begins.
Scion having stay quiet for quite a while, just as the battle unfolds itself when the two armies clash several minutes ago.
Scion observing over the battlefield at a relatively high cliff then shifts his attention to his right and asks, "What is the situation Chiion?"
To his right were two people and the one who responses was a busty young lady with green hair who was right beside him. "From what I see it appears not good for the Revolutionary side. Which I completely assume right now it seems one sided to me. Perhaps because with a Teigu user at the front of the battle lines the balance of the fight had shifted to the Empire's side. At my conclusion the Revolutionary side might break apart and scatter before it even hits one hour of fighting."
Looking back to the battle Scion and smiles a bit before he comments, "The Empire seem to be taking this battle lightly." Just as Scion said that, everyone behind him could see a blast of dust and men go flying up into the air. As if the men were within a bomb blast at that moment.
Then a voice came from Scion's right side again which was a male voice says with contemptment. "What's to expect? They can't predict the movements of the Pack of Wolves you know."
Scion then looks over to his left and there was a young blond man who had the looks to match his voice, although the armor equipped and the twin swords on his side tells otherwise.
Then from his right a young girl voice which belongs to the girl who was right beside Scion then replies, "Well they should always expect reinforcement from an unknown threat as a possibility,"
said Quna as she then turns towards me, "So what shall we do Scion? Fight the Teigu user?" asked Quna.
"How about we assist the Revolutionary Army until the battle tips back to balance between the two armies and retreat, if it means to kill the Teigu user then that is a bonus." said Scion as he smiles.
"If you wish to tip the battle to a balance battle then we must eliminate the Teigu user as primary and after doing so we should, for about three minutes, kill the Empire's troops to tip the balance. Is that a good strategy?" said Chiion
"I like it, let's do it." said Scion as he looks at the fight readily.
"We'll execute this strategy in three minutes, Luke rally the group for the attack." said Chiion.
"Alright... Let's do this men we'll charge and attack the Empire forces and once the Teigu user of the Empire is defeated we'll go and slay for three minutes their troops."
"This is an interesting scenario," yelled one of the men
"Let's do this!" yelled a woman.
"Well then let's begin the charge!" said Scion as he then urges his horse to sprint down the hill they were on and charge into the battlefield with the rest of the nineteen members of the group following behind.
"Raise the Pack of Wolves banner and tilt it to the left side guys!" yelled Chiion as she gives the order to raise their banner.
At the Empire's Main Base.
"What's this? A different unit? What a laugh! Only 20 men? I wonder what fool decided to jump into this fight?"
"Wait... isn't that the Pack of Wolves banner!?"
"What! The Pack of Wolves banner! Which direction is it pointing?"
"It's towards the enemy's side!"
"Shit they are siding the Revolutionary Army, be on your guard men the Pack of Wolves group have a fearsome reputation of eliminating half an army by themselves even if it is twenty men they are still formidable."
At the Revolutionary's Main Base.
"A unit of Twenty people have appeared from the cliffs."
"What! Have the men brace for a surprise pincer attack... I did not expect them to do this tactic."
"The unit has the Pack of Wolves banner raised."
"The Pack of Wolves!? Which direction is the banner raised?"
"Towards us commander."
"Then cancel my previous order we continue on, let the Pack of Wolves enter through our ranks and allow them to annihilate the enemy forces!"
"Yes commander!"
Back to Scion and the Pack of Wolves.
"Our reputation provides us the advantage of entering the army's ranks as we please as usual." said Chiion as the units in front of them begin to space off a bit allowing their group pass undeterred. "Lower the flags we start our rampage now!" yelled Chiion as the members lowered the banners and pulled out their weapons.
"First come! First serve!" yelled Scion as he then jumps off of his horse that then rides off the side as Scion shreds through a soldier like he was paper, and then continues onward towards the center of the battle.
"Come on that's no fair to take the first kill!" yelled Luke as he then also jumps off of his horse and begins to cut through other soldiers.
Then the rest of the Pack of Wolves jump off of their horses and engaged with the Empire's Army.
"Huh? Where is Quna, Luke!" yelled Chiion as she smacks a soldier with her nunchaku.
"I thought she was with you!" yelled Luke as he spin kicks soldier behind him.
"Oh well we'll see her at the cliffs with Scion as usual!" yelled Chiion as she then grabs an empire's soldier as a meat shield from a sword attack and proceeds to kill the ones that killed the soldier that she used as a meat shield.
"Hello there Teigu User!" yelled Scion as he jump attacks the Teigu User.
"What!?" gasped the Teigu User as the Teigu User dodges Scion's attack and counters.
"Hmph a girl this time? Let's see what you can do in a minute time." said Scion as he then sheathes his sword repels the counterattack with the scabbard and begins to circle around the girl Teigu User.
The Teigu User then also begins to follow the same movement and runs in a circle and then yells, "Who are you!?"
"I am Scion! The Leader of the Pack of Wolves!"
"Scion?! Then I shall kill you here with my Teigu!" yelled the Teigu User as she then jumps and attacks Scion.
Scion repels the attack with his scabbard again and spin kicks in retaliation, which is then guarded and sends the Teigu User flying only about three meters away in the air and landing on the ground about eight meters from Scion.
"What the hell is your scabbard made of?! It should have been destroyed by that last hit!" yelled the Teigu User as she charges again.
"Times up," said Scion as he then places his hand on the Tension Blade, "You show potential but you won't live through this encounter without an injury."
"That's what you think! You're underestimating Me!" yelled the Teigu User
The Teigu User then approached Scion, but Scion then slash with the Tension Blade cutting through the armor that the Teigu User was wearing and out came three ribs before Scion spin kicks at the injury sending the Teigu User flying back into the Empire's soldiers ranks. "I might see you again later you won't die that easily." said Scion as he then is surrounded by the Empire troops.
As a few seconds pass a soldier then charge only to be pulled back and being sliced in half by a sword.
Landing next to Scion, Quna then turns towards the soldiers and looks at them.
"Quna," said Scion as he then puts his back to Quna's back, "let's do this."
"Yes, Scion." said Quna as she stands firm in her stance and looks around at the Empire's soldiers.
"Kill them, they're just two people!" yelled one of the soldiers, as the group of soldiers charge to them.
"Don't underestimated!" yelled Quna as she hooks her sword to her dart-hook rope "The leader," and begins to twirl it above her at high speed "and an elite member of the Pack of Wolves!" with it then ripping and also repelling the forward onslaught of the Empire's soldiers.
"Don't lose your attention on me or you'll die!" yelled Scion as he slices through three soldiers that stood watching Quna.
"Scion!" yelled Quna as she decapitates a soldier's head off.
"Looks like three minutes has elapsed Quna!" said Scion as he cuts down five other soldiers. "...Alright let's go!"
Wedging through more soldiers Scion and Quna runs through the Empire's army side and retreats towards the cliffs and leaves the battlefield.
At the Empire's Main Base-
"Shoot! With the loss of our Teigu User and some of our men we somehow return to an equal footing with the Revolutionary Army!"
"It doesn't matter, the Empire won't lose here! Charge at the frontlines again!"
At the Revolutionary's Main Base-
"Excellent they removed the Teigu User threat we have a chance of victory here!"
"Commander should we send a messenger to contact them?"
"It's worth the try to get in contact with them, and let us hope they will join our side for the rest of the battles to come!"
Back to Scion and the Pack of Wolves.
"That was a good skirmish I have to say."
"It felt like I killed 100 soldiers in a minute."
"Hey it was 100 soldiers, it was indeed a good skirmish there."
said some of the members as they talked amongst themselves.
"Hey Scion, Quna! Together as usual!" yelled Luke.
"As always!" Chiion finished Luke's sentence, as she and Luke approached Scion and Quna who are now mounted on their horses just on the edge of the cliff side of the battlefield.
"And it seems that we have a guest here I see," said Scion as he turns his head towards a man in a silky like clothing who bowed towards Scion. "Speak, what is it that you wish to convey to me?"
"We like to have you join our forces," said the messenger.
"I decline!" yelled Scion decline the offer instantly as if knowing the message before even hearing it.
"Then we would like to have you meet our commander after this fight." offered the Messenger as a secondary idea.
"You don't know that it will happen." said Luke as he looks at the messenger.
"No, not this battle commander," said the messenger as he shakes his head. "We would like that you meet our leader, of the Revolutionary Army."
Pausing for a couple of seconds, "I see... Well I have no reason to refuse and we've just completed a skirmish, so we can take a break now." said Scion as he shrugs.
"If so, then see you later Scion, call me again with Loi!" yelled Chiion as she then spurs her horse in a different direction and heads off into the woods.
The messenger surprised by Chiion's decision then asks, "Huh? Don't the Pack of Wolves travel as a group?"
Scion, Quna and Luke look at the messenger and laughs at the remark,
"Ahahaha! Though we are the Pack of Wolves we do not always travel in groups we know when to return when we need to," said Luke as he tells the messenger, "Only Scion and Quna are the main leaders of the Pack of Wolves and now I'll be heading off on my own little break." Luke then reigns his horse around and spurs his horse as he travels in a different way from Chiion's way and while doing so all the members of the Pack of Wolves disperses as well.
"I see so that is how you got the name Pack of Wolves." said the messenger coming to that conclusion of their group name.
"Of course Chiion came up with the name so I'm not the full founder of the Pack of Wolves; but because we are like Pack of Wolves we two gather our forces and we go to battle together or make group decision together," explain Scion, "but that doesn't mean we, as a group, travel together. We all have our agendas and we know our place. But don't worry, I always have contact with Chiion with Loi and Chiion will gather the Pack of Wolves quicker than you can say 'Wolf'."
"I see... well then here is a map to our current base of operation and we'll be moving quite soon so best be on the move." said the messenger as he then takes out a scroll and lifts it up to Scion.
"Alright you can leave then," said Scion as he takes the scroll and the messenger then jumps off the cliff and starts to head back to the battle's main base.
"This is quite the bother isn't it?" said Quna as she looks at Scion as he opens the scroll to find it fairly accurate map of the land around the Empire.
"That's right I don't really want to go but I don't have anything better to do than to listen anyways." shrugs Scion as he nods in agreement.
"That's just like you Scion," said Quna as she looks further at Scion for any more things to say to him.
"Well I'm going to say we are going to have an ambush once we arrive at the camp so best be ready to fight out of there." said Scion and Quna nods to that sentence.
"How many days do you think it will take for us to get there?" ask Quna.
"About two to four days if we encounter a harsh predicament, otherwise in a day's time." said Scion as he hands Quna the map.
"Okay," said Quna as she looks at the map before handing it back to Scion.
"You ready Quna?" asked Scion as he then looks at the map on last time before looking back to Quna for confirmation.
Quna nods and says, "Yes let's go then Scion."
"Alright let's go then!" yelled Scion.
They then spur their horses in the direction the map pointed as Scion rips the scroll piece into several pieces and tosses one fourth of it into the wind.
