Ranger24: Hey there I finally have this story figured out so I might as well start it.
Cotains refrences to Devil may cry, Halo, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate, and others.
Prolouge: Torment
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Location unknown, Reki Balcance of knowledge, ?? hours Day ?
A splash of cold water woke Reki from his sleep into his living nightmare. Every part of his body ached. Wounds half healed and fresh covered his body. He winced trying not to move his broken and bleeding toes. The shadowy figure stood over him a hand gun held lazily at his side.
??: Come now Reki. I can end the pain now. All I want is information.
Reki spat a glob of blood on the man. Shade glared at him.
Shade: Sarge.
A man in red armor entered the room holding a shot gun.
Sarge: Yes sir?
Shade: Break his legs.
Nodding Sarge slammed the butt of the shot gun into each of Reki's legs! Bones snapped and Reki screamed in agony! Shade smirked.
Shade: Now tell me all about the darkside king his army in particular.
Reki gasped in pain.
Reki: They were darksides, all of them. Born and bred for his service.
Shade: So they we're defeated by an army of balances?
Reki: Yes. The song destroyed his army bbut he was immune. He had to much power to be effected by it.
Shade: Correct me if I'm wrong, but this song of yours is primmed to attack Darksides?
Reki nodded. Shade smiled razing the pistol, a modifeid navy colt.
Shade: Then I set you free.
Reki's eyes widened.
Reki: No wait! Please!
Shade cocked the revolver.
Reki: I beg of you! Show mercy!
Shade: Mercy?
He stuck the barrel between Reki's eyes.
Shade: This is what I call mercy.
BANG!
Reki slumped in the chair, dead. Shade wiped the blood from his hands and the barrel of his pistol. Sarge looked at his master.
Sarge: You know there's a reason why I like following your orders so much. And its because you do stuff like that.
Shade smirked pocketing his pistol which he had named "Devil's hand".
Shade: Well we shall have more of that soon enough. Have Grif and Donut dispose of the body. How goes Simmon's repairs on Lopez?
Sarge: Alright, but we still don't have a new voice chip.
Shade sighed.
Shade: Well at least we have someone who can translate until then.
They made their way out of the torture chambers and out into the central plaza of Shade's fortress. Grunt and Jackal slave labor had worked wonders on turning the wreckage of the old brute frigate the Twilight Compunction. Shade could just burn with the irony of the name That he had been bested by his other half and that other half who happened to be a twilight warrior.
The fortress was in part carved into a mountian side. The mountian was now honey combed with Chambers. Prisons, armories, shipyards, factories, barracks, store rooms, munitions depos, and massive mines drilling up useful metals for producing machinerie to produce weapons.
The main buildings were built from most of what was left of the ships hull. The massive fortress walls were lined with plasma batteries from the ships weaponry. The centerpeice of the fortress was the chaos citdeal. The reds had gone back to blood gulch and had stripped everything to make the citdeal. It was a massive nightmare purple and black spire with dozens of light and heavy defensive guns lining it. The citdeal also housed the refurbished sheilds that had been upgraded by Shade and Simmons.
Shade turned to Sarge absorbing the blazing heat of the sun above.
Shade: How long until we have "it" survicable?
What Shade was talking about was a small freighter that had unwittingly come down to chat.
Sarge: Simmons has the jump drive figured out. It's one of them Colonial ships.
Shade: Well we had best see what they think of our next plan.
Shade summoned his soul eater.
Shade: Tell the men to pack their bags. We're going to Reach.
Suddenly there was a bllast of purple black chaos energy! Shade leapt back in suprise as a young woman wearing all black leather weilding two Fransica throwing axes appeared in front of the two of them! She had silver hair and grey eyes. She turned to face Shade a smile on her face.
??: Hi dad.
Shade froze for a second, then started to do the twitch, then he passed out.
Ranger24: Didn't see that one coming did ya'? What do you think? Read and review!
