Well, this is my first time writing something on this site. This is also my first time writing something involving Dead or Alive period so it'll hopefully get better as time progresses. I would appreciate any constructive criticism to help me make this book better. Maybe grammatical errors or just something you wish to be changed. Let me know in the comments or PM. Anyway, again.
This is my first time writing something involving Dead or Alive period so I hope that this story will end up becoming something you guys enjoying reading. Well, enjoy.
Chapter 1: Entering A New World
There! After him, quick!" a guard yelled over the loud sound of the alarm as around 12 guards were all sprinting down a metal corridor, wearing full body armor and helmets and chasing down a humanoid dinosaur looking creature. The armor was dark grey with some secondary colors for the more detailed areas such as the line colors and the glow of the suit. The helmets seemed really simple. Shaped like a human head with just a huge visor covering most of it, allowing light bulbs on either side of the cheeks to illuminate the dark places. They kept sprinting, slowly falling behind the dinosaur like creature more.
The creature growled as he looked behind him, red eyes glowing with black slits as he suddenly jumped and destroyed the lights on the roof, completely making the corridor pitch black. The creature itself looked like a dinosaur but with human abilities such as standing and walking straight and even using his hands for human things. The scales were a blood red color as well as the eyes and the Claws were black but were currently drenched in blood as he let out a low growl, slowly crawling on the roof, watching as the guards turned on their helmet lights. He crawls a little before his body starts to glow a red color as well, emitting a small red cloud before he dashed in a blur and grabbed one of the guards by the helmet, the guard screaming in fear before he was slammed against the wall hard enough to where his head exploded, the creature dropping him and the guards all aim their guns but stop and groan whenever they see what happened.
"Holy shit." One of the guards said.
"Disgusting." Another replied as they all continue to look around, their eyes narrowed now.
"Come out! We know you're here!" The leader yelled, having a badge that has a 'C' on it which signals that he was the Captain.
The creature noticed this before swiftly getting behind a guard and dragging him into the darkness.
"No!" The guard yelled as he was dragged into nothingness before he screamed in agony followed by nothing except a crunch.
Suddenly the guards all saw an arm being thrown their way that was completely demolished and torn off of the socket and that really struck fear into them. They heard a low growl followed by thumping footsteps, their heart rates slowly starting to increase. Thump... thump... thump. A few seconds pass as the very slow thumping sounds continue and the guards slowly start to lose their minds with fear, their breathing growing faster and their hearts beating in their ears by this point.
"Ahhhhh!" A guard yelled as he suddenly started to shoot into the blackness, screaming as he just shoots at nothing, all the guards getting startled from the action.
"Relax!" The leader yelled and the guard pants as his hands tremble, his fear being masked with the helmet but completely evident from his movements as he slowly looks around.
Another growl was heard followed by a scream as a guard was lifted and flung into the darkness until a loud thud and crunch was heard, signaling that he was dead as well. After three deaths, the guards were down to only five men, four having ran away now and three having died. The leader cursed and looked around again before turning around and immediately firing a shot from his shotgun, landing on the mark as the creature shrieked in pain and roared as it stumbled before immediately taking off, the guards all starting to give chase once more since they had it in their sights again.
"Do not let it escape!" The leader barked out as the guards all sprinted at the weakened creature, the creature closing it's eyes and suddenly slamming into the wall, crashing through it to land into a room with a teleporter.
It quickly climbs to his feet as he hears the guards approaching and it immediately shoots out fire from it's mouth, hitting the top of the destroyed wall and making a line which causes the wall to collapse onto the hole and block it. It immediately runs to the portal, looking at it before it grunts and falls to one knee, the dinosaur creature slowly transforming from what it started as to what it now is... a person. He was fairly average in height, standing at 5'9 with a fairly bulky body. He wasn't as large as the Super Ninja he's heard stories about but he was getting there. His hair was a medium to short length, dark brown, messy styled hair with hazel eyes.
He slowly climbs to his feet before looking around and quickly finding armor from someone he had killed. The armor was all destroyed for the most part but he could just find something else whenever he escaped. He grunts as he holds where he was shot, blood starting to leak out as he hisses in pain, grabbing onto the panel that sets the coordinates. He heard a beep and mentally cursed as he quickly puts on the destroyed armor, or as fast as an injured teen can work on armor before stumbling onto the portal platform. Wherever this placed called Earth was... here's to hoping that it is much better than this one.
He took a deep breath as the portal suddenly activated, a bunch of electricity starting to surround him as the boulders are removed from the hole in the wall finally and the soldiers all charge at the portal. His eyes widen as he gets in a defensive stance, ready to fight them but as soon as they stepped onto the portal, it launched, scattering everyone there throughout the planet called... Earth. A high pitched sound began to erupt in the teens ear, groaning as his eyes slowly flutter open, squinting them shut immediately as the sudden flare of bright light hit him. He winced as he slowly climbed up once more onto his knees before slowly opening his eyes, waiting for them to adjust to the horrible lighting change, blinking several times before the bright light finally died out. He took in his surroundings and groaned in pain as he sat back.
He seemed to be in some open field, literally in the middle of nowhere with no trees and some terrible bright light. He looks up and noticed a white and yellow ish looking circle in the sky that literally almost left him blind on sight and he rubs his eyes, looking around again before climbing to his feet before wobbling. This world seemed peaceful but he couldn't forget that he just brought those guards and that leader here. His eyes narrowed as he starts to walk, limping while holding his side as he growls a little. He brought one of the worst leaders of his world over to this one and now it was gonna be his job to get rid of him.
A Few Minutes Ago
Soft footsteps were heard on tree branches as someone was gently hopping from tree to tree, seemingly enjoying the weather. They showed no sign of a rush or even worry as they simply hopped from branch to branch. This was a female ninja with copper brown hair that was let down that reached almost half way down her back. Her eyes were an amber color and she seemed to have a gentle smile on her face. This teenager was Kasumi.
Recently, she had just defeated a project from DOATEC known as 'Phase 4' with the help of the Super Ninja Ryu, her brother Hayate, and her half sister Ayane. She was no longer being chased by her brother and half sister so she seemed to be taking life a little slower, simply enjoying it now. The costume she was currently wearing was a black full bodysuit with blue ribbon and scabbards which carry kunai, a halterneck bra, gloves with a cherry blossom logo, a pair of arm-guards, leather boots with shinguards, and a choker. Kasumi always believed in only fighting and killing when necessary, despite the skill set the young kunoichi seems to possess. It made her a rare breed of ninja.
She stopped on a branch when she felt something was off before looking up, noticing a bright light suddenly illuminating the place, making her wince and cover her face, the light remaining a little more before disappearing.
"What was that?" She asked as she blinks a few times to try and fix her eyes.
She was fairly curious so she looked forward before leaping onto the next branch and heading towards the source of the light, a little more rush to her step now to get to her new destination faster.
Back With The Creature
The creature turned human limped a little more, noticing the forest that was a small distance away from him. He turned to do a 360 of the area, sighing when he saw the forest seemed to be the only place he could go that provided some kind of cover. He nodded to himself before clutching his side in pain and grunting as he hunches over in pain, looking down at the large stain of blood on the armor he had on. It was getting really bad and if he didn't heal soon, he would be dead before the day ended. The armor normally had a self healing mode where it would heal his injuries but this armor was far too damaged.
"Way to go, Nah'Zahk. You seriously messed up this time. You let Zah'Har and his men into the planet and got injured and to top it off, the suit you stole doesn't even work. This... is your finest hour. You won't die as a soldier but a criminal." He spoke to himself as he grumbled weakly and started to limp towards the forest.
It felt like such a long walk but it probably was and he had almost no energy left from all the blood he's lost. All that he could hope for now was that some guardian angel came and saved him when he most needed it. He definitely looked like he was on the brink of death. He was sweating, he looked pale, his breathing was hard, his eyes were kinda red all around; he was definitely worse for wear.
"This is seriously how I'm gonna die. An unknown planet to boot." He groaned weakly as he fell on his knees before collapsing forward, breathing ragged as he weakly fumbled the grass in front of him, trying to reach the forest but it was still a little far away.
His vision slowly started to die out, growling a little in anger from this fact. As his vision continued to die, he noticed a shadow suddenly looming over him with a feminine gasp. It was probably an Angel come to take him away. The last thing he saw was a leather boot and shinguard and a cherry blossom falling onto his hand. It definitely wasn't an angel.
Knowing his luck, it was probably the devil. How close he was the first guess. She may not have been an angel but she sure as hell could have been.
The Next Day
Nah'Zahk woke up with a start, alarms ringing in his head to let him know he's in an unfamiliar area. It wasn't home and it wasn't anywhere he was familiar with so he immediately was gonna sit up but two hands immediately came over and stopped him.
"Wait! You lost a lot of blood and your wounds are not healed. I suggest you rest." A woman said.
He looks over at the woman and she was dressed as a nurse... that explains what she is. He looked around and he realized he was in a hospital.
"How long have I been here?" He asked.
"You've only been out for a day. It's a good thing she found you when she did. A little more and you would be dead."
This caught his attention. What was she talking about? Who found him? Then he remembered. The gasp, the boot, the petal.
Someone had found him and taken him to the hospital.
"I don't have clothes." He said, remembering that he only came here wearing that armor.
"Yes. The one who found you has already made that clear when she brought you in so I took some measurements and she went to go retrieve some."
"That's quite invasive." He replied.
"Would you prefer you go out there and get it yourself?" She asked.
"You could have just waited for me to wake up and let me tell you."
"I was too busy worrying for your life to think about your feelings." She said and he sighs before feeling another presence arriving. "We have company." He said.
The nurse turned around and Kasumi walked in slowly, wearing a white shirt with pink straps and blue jeans. She also tied up her hair into her traditional pony tail with a pink ribbon holding it together.
"Your sensory skills are impressive." Kasumi said and he nods while the nurse looks at her.
"I trust your little trip into the city went well?"
"I think this should do just fine." Kasumi replied, lifting up a few bags. "He looks like a jacket kind of guy."
"Boxers as well from the looks of things." The nurse responded which made Kasumi look at her with a kind of 'no' look on her face before shaking her head and approaching him and placing the bags down before sitting.
"Can we have a moment alone, please?" She asked and the nurse nodded as she walked out and as soon as she did, he immediately sat up and Kasumi also stood up, immediately holding him back from getting up too far.
"Who are you?" He growled at her.
"Relax. My name is Kasumi. We aren't enemies. I promise." She said softly. "Take it easy. Your injuries need time to heal."
"I'm a fast healer." He grunted as he was gently laid back down. "And excuse me if I don't just suddenly jump at your reassurance." He said.
"If I was an enemy, don't you think I would have let you die in that field?"
"Why save me?"
"I don't like seeing people hurt. Not when I can do something about it."
"You're very compassionate to a stranger." He said.
"Then don't be a stranger. What's your name?" She asked and gave him a soft smile.
"... Why would I give that?" He narrowed his eyes.
She sighed and looked at him.
"You are a very careful person. You're sensory skills are good. You seem to be in good shape. You seem to treat this like an interrogation when it's a simple conversation between two people... you can trust me. I'll find a way to prove it." She said and still smiled.
"Well my name is Nah... it's... ummm..." he scratches his head, trying to think of what name to give.
"You don't remember your name?" She asked, a little worried.
"I remember like... initials. First, middle, last." He said.
"What are they?"
"Ummm. N.I.K." he said and she thinks for a second, looking down at the bed.
"N.I.K. Nik. That's it! We'll just call you Nik. Maybe your name will come back to you. Until then, that's who you are." She said and nodded.
"Nik." That seemed to work just fine so he gave a nod and she seemed satisfied with the answer.
"Alright, Nik. Get dressed and we'll get you out of here. You're welcome to stay with me until you get back on your feet." She said and smiled as she handed him the bags and he took them before looking inside and then at her.
"You think I'm a boxer man too?" He asked which made her face flush red.
"Get dressed." She said weakly and stood up before walking out of the room which made him chuckle a little.
He weakly got up and walked to the changing room, checking the extent of his damages and how fast they're healing before getting dressed. He put on a dark blue shirt with black jeans and and a black jacket, seeming to all fit him like a glove. He put on some black combat boots before walking out of the changing room a little slowly. Once he did, he fixes the jacket a little before popping off the tag on it and sighing. It was good to have clothes on again.
He didn't have any belongings so he just walked out of the room and looked around before spotting Kasumi at the desk, writing on a paper. He figured she was probably signing him out. This Earth seemed to be a lot like his planet. They also seem a little advanced too so that's cool. He slowly sneaks past the desk and decides to wait right behind her.
She keeps writing a little bit but for some reason, she can't help the feeling that someone was watching her. It was the same feeling she got when she was being chased by the ninja from the Mugen Tenshin clan but... this felt a lot closer. She finished and placed the pencil down before turning around and screaming before immediately covering her mouth, her heart accelerating millions of miles an hour from the sudden shock it just had. She turns and whispers sorry to the desk woman before glaring at Nik.
"Not funny." She said softly and he grins.
"It was a little funny. Ahhh." He said softly, mimicking her scream which made her face flush red in embarrassment.
"Can't believe I saved you." She said.
"A debt I repay by filling your world with laughter." He said and smiled and she couldn't help but smile back.
The gesture was sweet when he puts it that way.
"Come on. Let's go home." She said and he nods as he goes back to her house.
The one he would be staying at for a little while. The one he would use to begin his plan against Zah'Har.
Well there we go. I mainly just introduced Kasumi and then my OC who we are gonna call Nik for simplicities sake. Not a huge amount of detail in this chapter but that is mostly just me being lazy. Anyway! Hope you liked it!
If you didn't, I tried!
