Chapter 1
Panics screams and out cries soaked in a young mans head bored down deep in his mind to forever remember.
He kicks the silver metal door to fling open. A gust of chilling wind pricked at his skin as he squinted his eyes to focus on the hundreds of figures that swormed all around. Disbelieving what his eyes collect. In utter horror of the man's worst possible fears. Outside in the starless night, everything his eyes laid a pone, they all scatered wildly running for safety. The sent of death was vary. The damp air was sticky of the blood. The young mans veins went stiff of great fear, he stumbles slightly back of light headed feelings he stops the vomit that dared to crawl out from his throat, he quickly cluches his gut. What is happening? His mind screams.
The mans eyes fixed on a woman racing away from a crimson coated demond with sharp talons and faded blue markings chasing after. The demoned took no time in hesitation, flinging out his claws once, the woman spiraled to the steel ground, in one split second the monster lunged at her to finish its job tearing her apart. The man's vistion focused on the hazey realization of what was really happening. They were under attack. Ambush. Not one but thousands of blood thirsty monsters swarmed in every available space, vishesly ripping apart like paper they got their greedy claws on. He had seen a furroashes demond surely not once. As he recollected the man's lips tightened back in an intimidating smile. They both deserved it. A sudden battle cry snapped his smile out of the memories he almost stumbled backwards, he could be visable to the deadly creatures. A frightful cry out was bit back in the young mans mouth, to risky to draw attention towards him. He quickly shot out his arm that found its way to the silver doors knob and he yanked it shut, locking it. The man leaned his back against the steel door finding support again. His breath grow shallow his heart was banging at his rib cages, terror causing him to shake uncontrollably as his mind raced through options to escape here. Weapon! I need a weapon! His eyes quickly scanned the room when he remembered On top of the shelf! He dashed to the open room to a dresser in a corner ware a katana was placed in a glass case on the top shelf. The glass shattered under the young mans fist, snatching the sword and flipped the black velvet stances to reveal a wooden flute he had hidden there it was his priced position, a gift. Raced back to the door. In that moment he thought, ware was Mr. Sugawara? How do I plan on departing this land alive?The young man breaths increases speed he knows he has little time to spare. The count of three, he gulped in air,1….2 …..3! He busted the door down the katana cluched tightly in his palm prepared to unsheathe it at any given moment and his flute in the other hand. Despite the haziness as he darted down the blood pooled allies he kept running maneuvering stethy like around building after buildings tumbling over the no longer living corpses that lie in crimson trying not to recognize the faces as he paces.
"Waka!" a voice firmly shouted.
The young mans foot almost slipped from beneath him hearing his name called by a familiar man. Mr. Sugawara! Waka turned his head to spot Mr. Sugawara wrapped in thick steel chains around his wrists and neck forced back by five guards of the queen. The guards struggled to keep the blond man under their control.
Waka's veins boiled of the lies that man dare keep secret, but he was glad to see him. Waka waved from behind the walls of an iron building and quickly raced over unseen. But the blur of things did't change.
"Waka! Run, escape to the Ark. Get out of this madness! Bored the Ark on the other side quickly!" Mr. Sugawara shouted over the mass of chaos. Strict but calmness in the older mans voice.
"What about you!" Waka barked panic clear in his voice, eyes wide of horror.
"Worry not of moi Ushiwaka! Get out of here!" the man demanded sternly.
Ushiwaka flinched at this he wanted to protest but nodded hesitantly and shot twords the direction of the Ark. Waka leaped on a dumpster jumping to a near by building eight feet up using his hand to land gracefully and darted down the roof. It would be less of a chance of facing the demons. Ushiwaka lunged from the tops of buildings to buildings. He was almost there when he ran out of buildings to jump flipped off to land on ground to keep on forward. Lakes of blood that Waka scampered on splashed on his tall platform Geta shoes and splatered on his legs leaving evidence that he was there. He kept glancing back just incase they had spot him, but what he had seen was an enormous explosion ware he had just left Mr. Sugawara. The explosion must have been highly powerful to wipeout the steel buildings to ash. The wind of the bomb or whatever it was, sent scraps of metal fling at him, Ushiwaka dodged them quickly.
The other side was now within sight. There was a darn good reason they called it the dark side even if it were day the dark side was a thick black with still fog that not even the strongest light sours could penetrate it. Abyss would match its appearance exact.
Ushiwaka's panting was shallow he slowed down to a stop in front of the border of the dark side. He hesitantly stared in side it. His fingers roamed over the hilt of his katana unsheathing it from the scabbard. Waka inhaled one more deep breath and quietly stepped in. The misty thick fog moistened waka's skin. The still air sent chilling goose bumps over his arms. All he could hear was the faints screams and his own heavy breathing. The darkness was still, Waka could just barely see his hand in front of himself circling the space before him checking for objects he might bump into.
How will I ever board the ark if I can even see three feet in front of myself! Ushiwaka staggered over a loss peace of steel sticking up like a dorsal fin. The sound of it echoed bouncing off the scraps of metal all around. Waka hunched over razing his shoulders and squinting his eyes, hoping no one or nothing heard him. He bit his lip relived letting out the breath he held when nothing reacted to the noise. Waka forced his legs to move on, one after anther slowly and as sighlent as possible. A sudden smack of metal not to far behind made waka skid around, eyes wide and alert, sword held out hovering in front of his heaving chest. The man swung his head in all directions. No! Not here, not now! I'm so close I can feel it! Leave me be! A wicked snickering ringed in the young mans ears. He swung to his left facing the sinister laughter. Something shoots from behind Waka. Unsuspecting sharp, stabs of pain quickly bolted down Ushiwaka's back. He recoiled in surprise and a wail of pain sparked in his throat.
"BE GONE DEVIL!" he yelled wiping his arm around in the dark, slickly slicing throw a smooth surface easily severing something. A thud batted the floor next to Waka. The man opened his eyes as the gurgling noises died down. The attacker was dead. Warm thick blood slithered down Ushiwaka's back soaking in his pink jacket and at the rim of his purple Sashinuki hakama pants.
"Ugh" he breathed.
A loud quale erupted to Waka's left. The man panicked and he rushed his legs to run faster away. Battling in the dark was a heavy risk. His geta shoes tapped on the ground the same speed his heart was racing echoing around. Ware! Ware is that ark of Yamato! Everything is a blur! Which direction? Ushiwaka's mind buzzed with unsure options.
"Waka." A voice singed out in waka's ears it sounded sweet, smooth and calm, female.
Ushiwaka froze flinging his head around, His blood pumping.
"W-Who's there!" waka could only whisper out.
"Waka follow my voice. This way." The women's voice sang back.
The voice didn't sound real, almost as a hazy fog in his head.
"Waka trust me I'll guide you to the ark. This way hurry"
Ushiwaka twisted his neck twords the mysterious woman's voice, staring in that direction. I don't enjoy this. This could be a trick, a trap. But if I refuse to listen I could be out here till they find moi, and fall to the no longer living. Waka inhaled. "ok."
"This way you have no time to spare."
The young man sprung into action, his ears on full focus as the anonymous woman spook. Left, right. His arm weaved ahead of himself feeling around the scraps of iron, steel, metal, and any hard sharp objects he would brush past. Hissing noise grows near and far some to close that would lash out at Waka as he rushed by.
Ushiwaka's palm bashed an iron object forcing him to a halt. The iron object lit up in a flash of metallic blue and then simmered down to faded glowing blue designs. The appearance was a slate gray, on it massive side it glowed five glyphs of creatures. An ark. The ark of Yamato. Waka could only stare in awe of its enormous size. The iron Ark Looked benign and peaceful but to some strange unexplained reason it seemed haunting, holding many baneful, dark secrets of its past and reason behind its abandoned loneliness that yet hold sacred.
The arks iron door flung open unexpected welcoming the stranger inside. Ushiwaka gazed at the entrance unsure if trust worthy enough. A demonic snarl rose in a drunken sound from behind. Waka jumped and rushed into the ark's large entrance without hesitation. The inside appeared similar to the out side, gray filled with Nazca lines like designs. The walkway entry seemed to be the 'wrist' towards a central area it sprouted out into five finger-like branches. Each long walk way lead to a open door way, at the top of the door ways were markings with the same stylized descriptions of the creatures that matched the same ones on the outside of the ship, but in a intimidating crimson color. As the core of the ark was a teleportation beam that most likely lead to the top deck.
"So this is the ark of Yamato that is said to travel through the stars and the vary ark that is strictly forbidden to even approach. I would be decapitated if found by the queen for more than one reason. So be it. This legendary ark will guide moi to safety." Waka murmured he took a deep breath.
"Merci de jeune fille. Who are you?" the man received no reply.
He turned around to gaze out the entrance at the firers and the black smoke surfed up to the sky even from here, Waka could make out the hissing flames unrelenting, overwhelming. Most of the steel building were blown to bits, imploded, fallen. The fires rose on without mercy jumping from building to building. The wildfire screamed an unholy hymn the air smelled of everything that had died and the soon to die. The flames imitated the looks of dragon tails wiping in the sky proving it would not die out until everything is gone.
The arks irony door rose from its drawbridge position slowly cutting of the hazardous view with a creaky moan as the door sealed shut closing the young man from the death outside.
It was dead quiet despite the pounding of his heart and the ringing noise in Ushiwaka'sears. Safe he thought to himself.Safe at last.
He tried his best to give a steady pace but found himself shaken and highly alert glancing side to side back to front making sure nothing would try to ambush him inside the ship, hiding in the arks shadows waiting for the perfect moment to strike but he heard nothing except the only faint drip, drip, drip of his own blood that trailed the foot steps down Waka's back leaving a thick trial down the walkway of the ark to the core of the ship the 'palm' as one could say.This should lead to the cockpit of the ark. He platted a shaky foot on one of the stairs inching his way up the eight stairs and in the middle of the teleportation beam that vigilantly shoot him to the top deck in a madder of seconds. Ushiwaka numbly gazed around. Behind him were the two massive sails that just barely swayed in the damp air, the sails were a faded blue that matched the color of the designs but in the middle of the sails was a giant circle with an imprint of a clawing hand. Waka gazed in front of him spotting a small round, air craft lying peacefully on the ark's top deck. Ah. That must be the control system.Ushiwakawalkedquicklytothecockpit.Hopped inside and glanced at the inscriptions. Punched the on button and in response a fade but clear square flat holograms appeared with the places he could go. His fingers gently touched the hologram scrolling down to the options when he spot this
EARTH. 1. NIPPON
Celestial plain
Waka couldent help but gasp at the sight of though enchanting letters he quickly tapped the word. The ship responded instantly as the words popped up on the hologram.
Celestial plain Earth .1 next stop.
Option
Would you like autopilot?
Waka taped autopilot. The ark made a jolt slightly smooth but rough as it unbarred itself from the scraps of steel leaning on it. The ship slowly rose with gentle care, the rudders stared to crank and the sales spouted forward, and it rose to the skies.
Waka stepped out from the cockpit and back inside the warmth safety of the ark. It will be a long gurney.
