Author's Notes: Hey Guys this is going to be another great and intense story but it'll be written slightly differently from all my other ones and that will be because oregonwolf7 is my partner who's helping me write this story and owns the character Sash McBride (she's also my younger sister). I own Alethea. We DO NOT own GI JOE!!! So this will be a newer writing experience so bare with me. Anyway I'm going to start this off with a quick brief description of the two main Characters:

Character Skeleton
Name: Alethea
Age: 22
Description: Dark blue green eyes, full pink lips with long, dark brown hair that reaches above her slim waist. Has a curvy but petite figure. She's gentle and compassionate yet contains a fiery spirit.
Background: Was born in Ireland yet unexplainably ended up in Japan. She was found as an infant by Monks who took her in at a Ninja Temple. While growing up as a child she studied the ways of Healing while catching the eyes of two very different ninja boys; Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. At some point she leaves the Temple to go a different one where she becomes a Master in the arts of Healing, leaving behind those two boys who, even as they grow up in separate lives, can't forget the strange and beautiful girl.
Side: Good

Character Skeleton
Name: Sash McBride
Age: 18
Description: A little taller than average height, straight black hair cutting off neatly at her shoulders, clear green eyes, very fair skinned, slinky athletic figure.
Background: Though Sash was born in the States, her mother Caitlyn McBride was Irish(strictly coincidently to the character Alethea). When Caitlyn was in her late teens, she caught the eye of James McCullen(also later known as Destro in the future). McCullen was deeply infatuated with her but she had no interest in him what-so-ever, so she rejected him. A few years later Caitlyn fell in love with a U.S. Marine who had been visiting Ireland on leave of duty. She ended up pregnant with Sash and so decided that since he couldn't stay with her in Ireland, she would follow him back to the U.S so that her child didn't have to grow up without a father. Unfortunately though McCullen had not gotten over her so easily. After a few years he ended up tracking her down and in his jealous rage that she still didn't love him, he killed her on impulse. Sash had been five years old and had witnessed the whole thing. McCullen though returned instantly to Scotland where he had diplomatic immunity and could no longer be tried for his crime unless he stepped back on U.S soil. Now Sash is a young mercenary/vigilante who's still trying to track McCullen down so that she may avenge her mother.
Side: Good but she does things her own way.

Now let the fun begin!! ENJOY!!!
