Well my R4 chip came in so that's really gonna be taking my time. School's almost over, just a couple more months so I've gotta get my head outta my ass and quit lazing off. Time for me to jump from C average to at least a 3.5 GPA. Over the last week I had given my sister my laptop because something is wrong with hers and it can no longer recharge.

What's messed up about that is that it was over vacation time and all of my friends were going out of state, shoulda asked to go to Florida with my brother. At least then I wouldn't have been sitting in the house or walking around the city bored out of my mind.

I need to make up my mind on what I am going to do...I have too much on my agenda. Drawing, trying to make music(haven't started yet), finding a job, making a comic with my friends, love life, gaming, school, and a few others I refrain from saying.

Well enough about that...

Chapter 2: It All Begins

I bet you were wondering why no one had even heard that battle aren't you, well I didn't expect you to because at this time I hadn't even known either. Didn't think about it until my brother had recovered. It's amazing he survived period, I can understand how I did, but not him. I'm not completely human, I've got wings and a tail, but at that time they hadn't grown. Well three of my wishes were granted, I have wings, a tail, and I went on an adventure, but to do what I won't say...yet. I will tell you that I am highly respected and feared. Brian? Well, he's in a better place now...He's not dead, what the hell were you thinking?! You think I'd let someone kill my brother? Hell no, you people are crazy. A human like him can't be allowed to die so easily. Why? That's classified, I only know why because I was chosen. Only the higher ups know and I'm only considered one because of the blade. I can't tell anyone, I have but I shouldn't have. Their blood stains the carpets so fucking badly it even goes through and stains the floor. I think it's still alive even though the body was destroyed. Who's blood? I can't guarantee your survival if I tell you, but oh well. The angels, their blood. No I'm not evil for killing one, it was self defense. Their judgment is just and what they say goes. So by their word it was self defense. The guy thought he could just blow up my dining hall and try to kill me to take my power, this ain't the fucking Highlander. There can be more than one, he just wasn't one of them. It don't matter who the sword chooses, if you have a pure heart and am wielding it you too can utilize it's power. Won't be as much as the chosen, nor can you use it on him/her, or hurt the innocent with it, but it's more than enough for what any normal pure hearted person would use it for. A sword's a sword though, if your heart isn't pure you can still wield it, sure it'll weigh about a few hundred tons give or take 10 or so, well it's really the more impure the more it weighs. The average human would be able to carry it, to them it'd weigh about 50-200 pounds. On someone dark, about a ton, someone pure evil would not even be allowed to touch it. Wonder if you could hold it? You can, most of you anyway. I left off right after killing the first Flammie seen by anyone in centuries...

I sat against the tool shed next to my unconscious brother, thinking about what that thing had said. 'Offspring of Flammie and human' How could I not be human? If I know correctly the Mana Sword cannot be weld by a Flammie, only a human of pure heart. The way it glistens in the moonlight, it's full power is accessible by me. Sure if I was part Flammie using it wouldn't be of any problem, but drawing strength from it would be. Besides both of my parents are human, neglectful, but human. I know for a moment I believed him, but there is no way that's possible. Further more, where did he come from anyway. There hasn't been a Flammie on this plant possibly ever. If there was one...then there could be more, thousands more.

The full moon never looked more beautiful. I could stare at it all night long. I felt rejuvenated and full of energy just sitting there basking in the moonlight. In fact I felt stronger than before, but I had assumed it was because of the Mana Sword.

Brian moaned and drowsily pushed himself up before jumping to his feet ready to fight.

"He's dead. I killed him." I told him. He looked at me clearly confused as to how I managed to kill it when a shotgun wouldn't even pierce its skin. I held up the blade and his expression changed completely.

"Is that..." He couldn't even finish the sentence.

"Yeah, it is. Chose me at the perfect time too."

"Why did it choose you? Y-..." He trailed off.

"I don't know, but I'm not complaining. We're still alive thanks to it so there must be a reason for it."

"What ever the reason is. I'm grateful for it." He's taking this lightly. Too lightly, then again we were almost killed by a mythical beast.

"So how are we gonna explain this to mom and dad?" I asked.

"To mom and dad? How are we gonna explain this to the state?! We can't just go out there saying 'We were attacked by a dragon!' I'm not going to Rehab or jail."

"No way in hell I'm going there...wait where is everyone?"

"Huh? What do you mean everyone?"

"Part of our house is destroyed, the entire fence surrounding our property is destroyed, your car is in someone's living room, and there were several roars, and other various loud noises."

"Maybe they are hiding?"

"From something that will prove the government wrong?!"

"You're right...someone should have been out here taking pictures and calling the police."

"I doubt they would rush here...but no one came outside and saw what happened. Something can't be right. I think we should check." He agreed and we went towards the house his car flew into. I rang the doorbell, no one answered. Brian banged on the door, but I just decided to walk through the large gaping hole in the side.

"Hello?" I called. No one answered. I walked around the house searching for anyone. "Hello?" Still no answer.

"You find anyone?" Brian asked as he walked around to the kitchen. Don't recall him entering the house.

"No. You check the basement, I'll check upstairs." I made my way to the upstairs bedrooms. There were two apparently for the kids and the parent's bedroom. There was no one in any of them, but in the parent's room, I found a sheet of paper. On it said 'Judgment Day'. What was judgment day?

"SHAUN!!" I heard Brian yell from the basement. I ran out the room fast as I could and jumped down the stairs. Making my way to the basement, I saw a smudge in the carpet. Looked kind of like blood, but I'll have to examine it later. I made my way down to the basement. There were notes everywhere, on each one 'Judgment Day'. Brian stood there, confused as to what this all meant.

"You ever heard of this Judgment day?" He asked. Now that he had mentioned it, I recalled reading something about it. It was probably in some old manga though because something like this I would never forget. I don't remember much about it, something about a kid being left alone after everyone has been sent to 'salvation' as the world begins anew. That's about all I remember.

"I think I read about it once. Not sure where though..." I paused because I heard something from above. It sounded like moaning, like the moaning zombies do as they do nothing. We both glanced at eachother before darting back up to the main floor and outside. The streets were filled with people, adults and children. What I heard wasn't moaning, it was chanting, in another language. Each person wore a white cloak, I wonder where they got these. Brian had already run up to one of them and tried talking to her. I decided to do the same. I glanced around and chose the nearest person.

"Hey you, what is going on? What are you doing?" I received no answer. Not even any recognition of existence. "Don't ignore me when I'm talking to you! "What are you people doing?" She continued chanting as if I was never there. Staring at the full moon in the sky."Answer me!" Still there was no response from her so I gave up.

"You get anything out of anyone?" I hadn't noticed Brian come over to where I was.

"No, it's like these people are possessed. They aren't going anywhere though."

"Just standing there chanting and staring at the sky."

"At the sky..." I looked up at the moon. Nothing abnormal about it, other than the feeling of serenity and strength given off by it. I closed my eyes and stood there in the moonlight. I hadn't noticed, but an hour had passed as I stood there. By the time I realized what I was doing everyone was gone, even Brian.

"Brian?" Asshole ditched me. At a time like this I think it would be best if we stayed at least nearby. An eerie silence filled the air, there was no wind, not even the normal sounds of the night. I began walking slowly down the street. There was a loud sort of musical cry that broke the silence. I felt drawn to it and began walking in the direction it came from. There was another cry, this time closer than before. I began to feel a need to reach what ever it was making this noise. After hearing it a third time I began to run towards where it was coming from. There were faint cheers from a crowd, coming from the city park. People were coming into sight, those white robes really stand out. They were circled around something big and black standing on the hill in the park, probably another Flammie. I took down one, I can take down another. Should have devised a plan while sprinting through the open parking lot, that fence around the baseball diamond will slow me down. I could go around but then I'd be wasting time. Sure I procrastinate daily for about three hours, but right now I don't think that's an option. Then again I wouldn't want to be spotted, but I most likely would still be since I'm not wearing a white robe and am probably the only one carrying a legendary sword.

"The time has come." This one wasn't speaking telepathically. What did it mean the time has come? Wait...Judgment Day. Does it have something to do with them? It would explain why the entire city is in the park surrounding this thing. It didn't seem to have noticed me just yet though. Unless it said that to me. I slowed down when I reached the fence of the baseball diamond. There in clear view was a huge crowd of people on white robes, there were more people over there than I had previously thought. The others were behind the playthings or standing in the mini forest behind trees. The Flammie spoke some more, but I ignored it as it had nothing to do with me.

I decided to run out in the open around the fence. A strategy would have been nice at the time, but that's something Brian would have suggested. That reminds me, where was he right now? After what happened not too long ago I'd expect him to be smart and stay nearby me since I am most likely his best bet for protection from anything not natural. I never took my eyes off of the Flammie once as I ran around the fence. I noticed that it was facing the other direction, though it most likely heard me running towards it. Ears as big as those probably let you hear a mile away, maybe farther. That may be exaggerating though. I made my way to the crowd and began pushing people out of my way. After about a minute I finally broke through the last row of people. By now I was exhausted for running so long, so I stopped in the open. I found it pretty amazing how even under the moonlight, these Flammies manage to appear as if in shadows. Even on this hill it remained shadowed.

"So you have come." The Flammie spoke. It hadn't even turned around to face me. I inched closer. "You cannot stop us. It has already begun."

"What do you mean stop you? I didn't even plan on seeing one of you! I was just randomly attacked by a purple and red one who was going to kill me for reasons that I don't even know. I knew nothing of something beginning nor did I want to stop anything. I'm just looking for my brother."

"Your brother?" It turned slowly. There was someone held in its paw. "Do you mean this child?" At a closer look I realized that person it held was Brian. He was knocked out, again.

"What did you do to him?!" I dunno why I asked that. I couldn't care less what exactly it did. Brian was hurt...again, and I was pissed because of this. I didn't even wait for an answer from it before charging forward ready to kill. Well I got the answer to the question as to what happened to my brother because just as I was within striking range, its striking range, it swung its tail and swatted me back into some people. They cushioned my fall, but the hit still hurt. Did I forget to mention this Flammie was bigger than the first one? Just as I stood up I noticed that it was cocking back, inhaling a lot of air. I already knew what was coming and began to climb over any fallen people in my way. It exhaled, blowing blue flames down at me. Something about those flames wasn't right, I didn't feel any heat coming from it. Anything it touched was incinerated, but I didn't feel anything from it.

The sword will protect you.

Those words, I didn't even hear them. They appeared more like an image in my mind. Not spoken or even written. I stood my ground in the flames. Slowly I began to feel the heat. It became hotter and hotter until it was unbearable and I had to move.

But not for long.

Wish it told me that sooner before I made a stupid mistake like that. I ran around the Flammie and slowly closed in while avoiding the fire, running around in a circle around him while closing in slowly. The grass around us was incinerated, some parts still lit but most of it didn't even catch fire. I changed my path and ran directly at him, only to be stopped by him swinging his tail, forcing me to jump back. Of course I just ran right back up, but he did the same thing. This time though while jumping back I threw the sword at his face. He stopped it with his paw, but I could see blood dripping from it. Taking this opportunity I ran forward again, this time I managed to get close and jump onto his underbelly, using the folds as hand and footholds. I climbed upwards towards his foreleg, needed to get that sword back. Going as fast as I could I made it to the fur on his foreleg and started progressing from there. He swung and tried to throw me off, but I held on too tight. A downfall of having really strong fur, anything climbing on it has no worries of it being pulled out. The sword was just within reach. Just as I grabbed it, I lost grip and was thrown off, but I managed to get the sword back. Apparently having it yanked out like that hurt. The Flammie tossed Brian and gripped it's wrist in pain. Too busy to notice me running up yet again. He did once I stabbed him several times in the underbelly. Flammies' roars are ear splitting, had to cover mine as it roared in pain leaving me wide open. Just as it stopped, it grabbed me and threw me really hard into the mini forest of the park. Slammed through a tree and part of another. Something had to have been broken from that, but that wasn't that big of a deal as the first tree I went through was now on it's way downward onto me.

"Fuck..." Well I enjoyed my life somewhat, never thought this would be how it ended. Always thought it would end with me being killed by someone with a gun.

My OpenOffice's spellcheck was broken at the time this was written, dunno why. Just happened randomly. No big deal though, I'll just reinstall.

Umm...let's see...something to say...Nope nothin. Covered everything at the start, nothing to be explained about the story down here.
