Hey everyone. Guess we're off to a good start, so let's keep the ball rolling. Enjoy!

We now see a very different scene from the giant and bloody battle between Rasets army and the Balances. We see a small corner shop store in the streets of L.A at Midnight
The shop itself was quiet. About four people in the shop-not counting the cashier-who went about their own business, taking off the shelves whatever they needed quietly and not disturbing the peace inside the shop
That peace however, had to end. The shops front doors suddenly slammed open, and three men ran in, each of their faces covered by a black balaclava, and in their hands were rifles. The first man to enter immediately aimed his rifle at the shopkeeper. Fearfully, all of the shoppers either screamed, raised their hands into the air, or stood absolutely still
"Move out the way or else I'll blow your fucking brains out!" the robber snarled. The owner quickly replied and walked out of the counter, letting the robber in. He immediately went to work on the cash register, while the other two robbers went person to person, taking whatever they thought profitable from the person
One of the robbers walked over to the shops far right corner, only to nearly fall down in surprise. He looked glaringly towards the ground, before walking over to the robber who was also looting shoppers
"Hey Mr. Red, there's something weird over there!" the robber called out to his comrade, using some sort of code name for each other
"What is it Mr. Pink?" Mr. Red asked. Despite the Balaclava, you could see the annoyance on his face
"I thought we agreed, I'm Mr. Purple! Not Mr. Pink!" Mr. Pink growled
"No, you agreed, not us two. Anyway what's up?" Mr. Red asked
"There's this shopper-some kid-lying flat on the ground" Mr. Pink explained
"Well, it's not weird when scared to lie on the ground in fright" Mr. Red replied
"I know but Mr. Red…..the boy's fast asleep!" Mr. Pink exclaimed. Mr. Red looked oddly at his partner, before running over to where Mr. Pink was talking about
As true as he said, there was currently a boy fast asleep on the ground. He had blonde, messy hair that was shoulder length, and wore all black clothes. The boy was as we all should know, was Nukid, Assassin, Author Fighters Top Martial Artist, and Narcolepsy sufferer. He slept silently and peacefully on the ground
"What the hell?" Mr. Red muttered, kneeling down, and nudging Nukid, but the Author stayed fast asleep
Nukid may not have looked it, but he was at the time dreaming. Well, not so much a dream, as it was a long ago memory….
6 years ago…..
The sun rose early on the little island Fuschia Village, so the islands new Marine recruits had to get up and set out fairly early if they wanted to catch the Ship which shipped the recruits to the nearest Royal Navy base
Around a hundred recruits waited patiently around the harbour of the village, waiting for the order to get on the ship arrived. Most of the recruits were in their young twenties, very few older. They all looked fit, healthy and eager to enrol
But in the midst of these young adults, stood a strange sight. Wearing the traditional Navy recruit outfit was a 10 year old child with messy blonde hair, a rifle slung across his shoulder with his backpack, and despite his age, he had a mature, yet nervous face. The child was obviously Nukid, leaving his hometown of Fuschia
From the Navy Battleship docked at the Harbour, a Marine, seemingly ranked Captain, stepped towards the end of the ship to Harbour bridge, and looked down towards the Recruits
"All right Recruits! Get your asses on this ship in five minutes, or else we're leaving your cowardly ass behind!" the captain barked down, before making a sharp 180 degree turn, and walking away
Almost at once, the recruits walked up to the connecting bridge, and waited in line as the recruits got on, one by one. The young Nukid waited right at the back, gulping nervously
"Oy Matt!" a loud voice called out to Nukid, calling to him by his Christian name. Nukid turned around, to see his life long friend, Monkey D. Luffy, standing behind him with a wide grin. Luffy was also 10, but the only major difference was his size. He still wore baggy shirt and clothes, and proudly wore his straw hat
"Luffy? What're you doing here? Didn't think you'd be awake at this hour" Nukid slightly mocked, but was still surprised to see Luffy
"I wasn't gonna let my best friend leave without saying goodbye. So, you really gonna do this?" Luffy asked, though it sounded rhetorical
"Would you forgive me if I chickened out?" Nukid asked. Luffy pondered this for a minute, before grinning even wider
"Only if you joined my crew instead!" Luffy laughed. Nukid simply sighed
"You still going on about that? You know it wouldn't be a good image for people to see a Vice Admirals Grandson talk like that" Nukid warned Luffy, who didn't seem concerned in the slightest
"Heh, I ain't worried! Not ever since I met Shanks!" Luffy proclaimed, taking off his straw hat, and looking dreamily into it
"Ever since I met that guy….and seen the sacrifice he made to protect me I've realised what I exactly want to do in life! I'm gonna go out to see and become a Pirate. I'll find a Nakama, and we'll find the legendary treasure One Piece!" Luffy explained with growing excitement
Nukid arched his eyebrows "wow, you've got big plans"
"Sure have! What about you Matt? What are your dreams?" Luffy asked curiously. Nukid went silent for a moment, looking back towards the Navy ship
"Luffy, I've lived with you, Ace and Grandpa Garp ever since my parents were killed by Pirates. I don't hate you for choosing that live, nor do I think all Pirates are bad. But I can't live a life on that side" Nukid stated, turning back to Luffy
"I don't want people to suffer the loss like I did. I want there to be a world where criminals like that are found and killed. I want to make the world better, and this is the only way I know how" Nukid proclaimed. Luffy stayed silent, walking up to Nukes
"Well, I'll forgive you for not joining my crew, in one condition" Luffy said "If you say you want to make the world a better place, then you stick by that pledge no matter what! Make it your lives purpose to fulfil that dream! Can you do it Matt?!" Luffy asked, raising his left arm for him to shake
Nukid was a little caught off at first, but in a quick sec, that changed to a wide smile, and Nukes threw his right arm up, and shook Luffy arm
"Don't think otherwise Luffy! I'll stick by my oath no matter what!" Nukid proclaimed. The smiled on Luffy grew even more, the boy laughing a little in happiness
"All right! Then we both make a promise! I promise that I'll find my Nakama, and together we'll find the ultimate treasure One Piece!" Luffy proclaimed determinedly
"Right! And I promise that I'll join the Navy, and do my best to make the world a better place!"
-
Nukid eyes jolted open, the long ago memory stopping there. At first, Nukid was caught up with the thoughts of that memory. The thought of his old friend Luffy, of the friends and family he had left behind, and of the promise he had made….
Nukid suddenly remembered where he was, and quickly looked at his watch. When he saw the time however, his whole face nearly went pale
"Oh shit….I'M LATE!!" Nukid cried out. He quickly got up-ignoring the two robbers completely- and rapidly grabbed and threw in random tins into his shopping basket
Mr. Red & Pink weren't sure what to make of it at first. The boy had been sound asleep, before suddenly waking up and ignoring them! It was Mr. Red who acted first
"Oy, what the hell you doing boy?! This is a bloody robbery!" Mr. Red spat, raising his rifle
"Yea yea look I'm sorta busy! I promised DM I'd get the shopping done an half an hour ago. Must've taking a nap, why'd no one wake me up?" Nukid pondered, before returning to picking out random tins to buy
"H…hey! Are you retarded or something?! What do you think this is?!" Mr. Red snarled. Nukid stopped, and turned to the robber
"Sorry, but you said this was a robbery right? So you're the robbers?" Nukid asked
"That's right! And unless you empty your wallet now we'll fill you full of-"
Before Mr. Red finished, Nukid slammed the robber in the chest with a small push with his left palm. The robber went flying through several stalls, before landing hard into the wall, and slumping to the ground
"If you guys are robbers, then this could be a perfect excuse to give DM! I owe you guys" Nukid laughed, before turning to Mr. Pink
"Ah..aah…AAHH!!" Mr. Pink screamed, swinging his rifle at Nukids head. Nukid didn't bother to dodge, and simply allowed the rifle to hit his head
Rather than Nukids skull crack and bleed, the rifle instantly smashed to bits upon impact, like it had just hit solid steel. Mr. Pink gazed at his broken rifle, and then looked at Nukid
"Done?" Nukid asked, before tapping the robber on the forehead. In a few silent seconds, Mr. Pink collapsed to the ground, unconscious
"Nice, one more" Nukid nodded, turning to the Robber at the counter. The un-nick named robber had already readied and aimed his rifle at Nukid
"Bastard!" the robber roared, firing dozens of shots straight at Nukid, but to the robbers horror, Nukid caught each one casually between his fingers
"Soru" Nukid muttered, and in less than a second, Nukid had crossed the distance between him and the counter
The robber swung his fist, but Nukid pushed it aside, and grabbed the robber by the collar, and lifted him into the air
Nukid looked up at the robber, and smiled deviously "you know, ever since I saw the Cowboy Bebop Movie, I've always wanted to try something"
-
Two Police cars were parked outside the raided shop, but all they were there for was to arrest and take in the three robbers. They almost had to call the Ambulance Service, since all three robbers were suffering to some form of injury
Nukid watched from outside as the three robbers were arrested and brought into custody, while standing beside him was proud and strong Author Fighter leader, The Digimon Halfa DarkMagicianmon. It was currently night time, and Dark looked fairly tired at the moment
Dark looked at the crooks, before turning to see his comrade "you know, I ask for the shopping, not arrest petty crooks"
Nukid shrugged "neither did I, but justice calls right? I had no choice"
"Still, you seemed to have enjoyed yourself fighting them. I sometimes fear you have sadistic thoughts hidden away inside you" Dark noted suspiciously
"Only when I watch Everyone Loves Raymond-god what a crap show-but what makes you think I was sadistic today?" Nukid asked. Dark eyed him sarcastically
"Nukes, you shoved one of the robbers head into the coffee machine, and then poured hot coffee onto his face!" Dark exclaimed
"Always wanted to try it! Still, it was decent of you to come out at this time of hour" Nukid thanked
"Well you did call me. Don't know why, I thought you actually needed my help for something besides fill in Police documents" Dark yawned, noticing the confused expression on Dark face
"I….didn't call you Dark. I don't even have my Mobile Phone on me" Nukid said with confusion
"What?! But I remember hearing your voice on the other end, asking me to come and help!" Dark replied with equal confusion. He was certain he'd heard Nukids voice on the other side of the line
Nukid shrugged "Nope, I called no one. You must be more tired than you think, maybe you should just go home"
Dark sighed "No, you were the one that dealt with this Nukes. You go and get some rest. However, I've got one job for you tomorrow" Dark stated
"What?"
"As you may or may not remember, it's been a year since we fought the Zodiacs. A year since we fought our hardest battle yet, and a year since we….well lost" Dark mumbled, always hating to say the last part
"Aye, it was a dark day in Author Fighter history. On the other hand, it did turn our Gary Stu like group which never lost a single fight into a more believable one. I suppose there's a good side to everything" Nukid noted. Dark just slapped his face
"Well I don't feel like going through that again. Listen, I want you to debrief a few of the newer authors on the event tomorrow so they know what we're up against if the Manufactured Darkside show up again. Got it?" Dark asked, earning a salute from Nukid
"Got it chief, thanks for doing the forms for me. See ya!" Nukids said before using Soru to leave the area completely
DM sighed and scratched his tired eyes, watching as the Police cars finally drove off and left the place. DM knew he had to head to the Police station himself, and forgetting to ask for a ride, walked tiredly forward
It was nearly midnight by now and the night sky was well up. The streets were deadly quiet, but as Dark walked down the dark and silent street, he couldn't help but feel he was being watched. He looked left and right, eying every last part of the street cautiously, but he saw nothing, however the feeling of being watched didn't go away
After a few minutes of walking down the dark street. Dark began to hear footsteps behind him. He thought they may be far behind him, but the footsteps grew louder and louder, and eventually got so loud Dark span around and looked at the cause, only to see Nukid standing behind him
"Nukid?! What are you doing? I thought I told you to go home and get some rest" Dark breathed a sigh of relief, knowing it was a friend all along
"I felt a little guilty you having to deal with all this boss, so I decided to come with you and help fill in those forms" Nukid explained in all seriousness
"Oh…well sure Nukes. Feel free to help" Dark nodded, and the two walked side by side down the street
"Hey man, I have something to ask" Dark said to Nukid
"What's that boss?"
Darks hands suddenly began flashing red "Who the hell are you really?"
Nukid jolted back at this "W…what?"
"FIRE!!" Dark roared, blasting a ball of fire straight into Nukids stomach. Nukid managed to block with his arms, but the sheer power caused him to roll back
"No more lies. I know you're not Nukid" Dark stated
"What?! Have you suddenly gone retarded or something?!" the supposed fake Nukid barked. Dark nodded, seemingly impressed
"You did a good job imitating Nukes personality imposter, but you made one critical flaw" Dark stated "Nukes is far too lazy to ever help me fill out forms!"
At this the fake Nukid sighed, and smiled evilly, his body changing shape. He changed his shape into a Darkside wearing a multicoloured cloak, and a Chameleon mask on his face"
"Congrats, you're the first to see through my disguise. My name is Kamereon, loyal soldier of the Almighty God, Drake Ebon Darkstar" Kamereon greeted
Dark growled "great, so you Manufactured Darksides are back with you calling that bastard Drake a god"
"Not quite magician" someone suddenly called out from Darks left. Dark turned, and saw a boy, Nukids age, wearing a suit and tie, and with blood red hair down to his neck
"Who the hell are you?" Dark demanded. The boy looked at Dark with a sadistic grin
"It seems you know Matt-or Nukes as you're calling him- pretty well. It seems even filthy traitors can find friendship and acceptance" the red haired boy spat with disgust
"What are you talking about? Are you one of Drakes new lackeys?!" Dark demanded
"No, I represent a force far nobler, who have temporarily sided with Darkstar to take out a great evil. I am one member of a revamped team" the boy said, clicking his fingers like a signal
Slowly, teenage figures, all dressed in black suit and tie, surrounded the area around Dark. Every second more and more came, until around a hundred of these black suited teenager were around Dark, covering every possible escape route
"Just who the heck are you guys?!" Dark snarled. The red haired boy sniggered, taking from his belt, a small combat knife, and holding it by the handle sideways
"My name is Jack, and I represent the newly revamped CP9. Our first mission, eliminate the new World Government enemies, The Author Fighters, who have helped and looked after a world renown traitor and murderer. And our mission above all else…" Jack growled, his voice growing bitter, like some old memory was fuelling his speech
"….kill the World Government traitor, Nukid"
Well, there's chapter 2. Sorry only me and Dark showed up, but next chap, expect many to show up
I got the whole "Mr. Pink" thing from "Reservoir Dogs", and yes, I really don't like "Everybody Loves Raymond". I watched and episode, and didn't think much of it, but please don't make the whole review about that! That's just annoying
Stay tuned
