Hello again, and welcome to my first long-running story. This story was inspired by my close friend, Sarah. I have decided to write it, and she and I will be writing the remainder of the story (well, if she actually does it).
No taken characters are out now--only my original characters! Ha! But, regrettably, I do have to say the CIA is not mine, and never will be.
Now, on with the show!!!
Prologue: Distant Memories
"Alright, come on now. If you want to see all of the building, you need to hurry up!" said a woman, perhaps in her fifties, called to a group of young children. She was right to say so, for she was guiding the sixth-grade class of the middle school down the road around the colossal CIA business structure—the center of New York.
An odd field trip for children, so young and innocent in their years, she thought. Twenty years ago, this building was the last stronghold, for what was supposedly the end of the world. Those were dark, dark days…
She shook her head. She shouldn't be thinking of the past, when she should be working towards the future ahead of them—starting with the children.
She turned to go with the children down the hallway, but a small voice stopped her.
"Mrs. Andrea? Who are these two people?" This question came, to Andrea's surprise, from the quiet boy in the back who hadn't said a word the whole day. The child was looking at the Wall of Honors, at the two plaques in the center, with the pictures of two women shown.
Andrea started in surprise. These were the very saviors of the world twenty years ago! Sometimes, she thought, the past must catch up with her, whether she liked it or not. Sighing, heavily, she beckoned the child back into the group, and led them down a different corridor, ending in what seemed a living room. She bade them all to take a seat.
"Those two women," she said, "were the CIA's greatest agents. Their names were Christina Loken, known as Agent L, and Sarah Graf, known as Agent S. They were, dare I say it, strange, but they were the youngest in the force and the most talented in their field."
"Well, yeah," said a girl lightly, chucking as she did so. "The woman's hair is blue!" The whole room echoed with the small laughs coming from the children.
Andrea smiled at the rather cheeky young lady, and answered, "Yes, Agent L's hair was blue, but the strange thing is—it was her natural hair color."
"That's impossible!" exclaimed a boy in the back.
Andrea laughed. "Oh, but it isn't. Sometimes, what seems impossible is really quite possible. You should have met Agent S. She had unnatural colored streaks in her hair, and regularly got in trouble with me for it, but strangely she always got out of trouble. Now that, I thought, always seemed impossible, how she could always keep her job, with her overall strangeness!"
There was a chorus of laughter throughout the room. When they had quieted down sufficiently enough, Andrea spoke again. "But what seemed most impossible," she said, "is their incredible adventure—when they saved the world twenty years ago."
What happened?" cried the quiet boy, who had earlier posed the question. "Will you please tell us?"
"It is a long story, "said Andrea, smiling slightly. Loud choruses of pleas and protests reverberated throughout the room, until she said, "Alright, I will tell you the story, but only if you will be quiet. Can you promise me that?" The class all nodded silently. Andrea smiled. "Good." She settled herself more comfortably on her chair, and began. "Twenty years ago, there was a message from another life form outside our galaxy, but very cunning and sinister that threatened to destroy the world…"
Yay, a cliffhanger! Yes, I know it sounds like a weird sci-fi book, but I promise it will have Kenshin in it, and many more anime characters. Please review, and I will come out with an addition as soon as I can! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
