~!~ Well I did it... Some how I decided to focus on fighting in this chapter seeing I rather this not be a romance novel. If you are at all wondering, no I have not fixed or/and figured out how to fix my problem ^_^ Though I'll just have to get over my stubborn attitude and keep writing. Lets think on the bright side. I got tickets to the Indians Game for the Indians v. Yankees Wooh! That and I notice I gain hits, but never reviews... so maybe I'll get some voices this time around.~!~

Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a large Legend that many have heard of. The Four Horsemen, with the names of Pestilence, Famine, War, and Death*. Each Horseman have separate, but powerful powers and a different colored horse to symbolize a trait. For those who are unfamiliar with this story, here is some info. At the start of this story is Pestilence on his white horse. He rides out to conquer all the nations of the World. After is then War on his red horse. He wields a tremendous sword killing millions in his path. Then comes Famine in War's wake on a sickly black horse symbolizing gluttony and hunger. Finally is Death on his pale green horse with Hade's following him to take the remaining souls to their final destination. . .

Light came back to the world in a large flash and the world went on with no notice of the event**. A bear sat silently on a table at that same moment; it was not a real bear, but a stuffed one. Life came to this normally lifeless object as it slowly moved up onto its two hinge legs. The bear turned towards southwest to the only couch in the room. This only gave sight to a large smile attached to a towering body. The large creature wrapped its huge arms around the bear. At this point the bear was being squeezed to death. A familiar voice rang out into the air at the same moment, "You took so long to wake up!" This creature had been watching the bear with the name of Alice. She cried out in the end, "Kane!" This ruffled stuff bear could only reply in a dying voice,

"I am sorry I was so late Alice."

Hours seemed to fly by for the two companions. Kane had changed back to his human form. At this time he had been given some proper clothing*** to change into when he did. Lunch had already happened before Kane woke up. Therefore dinner came; it was a simple meal of Toast. None the less the day progressed and it became Monday. School was back on Alice's agenda. Though, leaving Kane wasn't an option to her because of her wandering dog, Wiley. He seemed to take a liking to attacking small furry objects that moved and resembled animals. Alice woke up bright and early to prepare for school. She packed all she needed for school and began to walk to school with backpack on her back containing school supplies, a lunch, and a very uncomfortable grumpy bear. The un-cracked felt the pounding of Alice's to only give an unfriendly feeling of roughness. Despite this silly fact, Alice would stop from a set of eyes piercing the back of her skull. A shadow. Someone was watching her and she just realized it. Her body spun around quickly seeing nothing, but the distance she had just covered. Something was following her or had been and she could feel it. She soon was over her strange assumption and she began to run off. Her destination was school. She would arrive only to hear the warning bell for the school. Her face with rosy cheeks of embarrassment still from thinking she was wrong about being watched.

23, 43, 9... Then click. A simple blue locker opened up by Alice's grip. She then carefully put her book bag inside it, along with unzipping her bag. This allowed the bear inside to finally gain light for only a few moments before hearing a quick, "I am sorry!" From no doubt Alice. A slam was heard from her slamming the locker and then running. It produced an echo that went through the bear's non-existent ears. Crawling out slowly of the book bag, the bear easily found its way out. This only caused the bear to then fall down off the book bag. Books and notebooks took the light impact of the small bear's fall. It sat and waited bored inside such a place, it was hot, the smell was of old books, and the darkness was a bothering thing to deal with. Alice came and went as the day began to progress. Though finally Alice opened her locker and put Kane back into her backpack. During that time Kane was thinking that taking his chances with the dog would have been at least exciting...

The zipper of the book bag containing Kane opened slightly at the top with Alice taking it out. She smiled at the bear say in a concerned and happy voice, "I am so sorry you had to stay in that locker all day, but just think you get spend time with me now." The bear glare down at her meanly. This was because of the new born fear of the locker. It had become a horrible place to even think about.

"I think I'll take my chances with Wiley next time," Kane said in a ticked off voice. This caused Alice to frown slightly at Kane. Kane sighed defeated to her sad face and said, "Though... I am very happy that I get to spend the rest of the day with you, Alice." She cheered up quickly. It lasted for only a few quick moments. Kane's body was feeling an insanely powerful aura by them. It showered down in power on the two making the air become shaky and thin. This odd occurrence made Alice drop her bear and a blood red arrow zoomed by where the bear use to be. It was not an arrow though. It was made of energy or something in the shape of an arrow. Then Alice would see the 'Shadow'. A tall slender man with sleek and neat long blue hair. A frown was smeared onto his perfect and untouched slightly pale skin. His serious hazel eyes stared down at Alice as if he was piercing through her heart. Then his lips began to move producing in a sedate tone,

"Pestilence missed, Pestilence never misses." He had a bow made of same glowing energy the arrow was made of. His perfect right hand began to gain a firm grip on the bow. The string began to pull back slowly by his left hand. Alice had fallen on her back in terror seeing another blood red arrow come from nothingness and be pointed towards her. Pestilence opened his mouth again and said, "Pestilence will now eliminate you." The bowman's words were filled with vanity as he spoke in third-person; an example of this is the behavior of Caesar. The grip on the red thing string loosened, but the arrow was never fired. Pestilence was gliding backwards gently. His eyes fixed on the tree he had just been on fall down towards the South. The source of this was already jumping towards the archer.

A katana came swooped downward at Pestilence's head. The carrier of it was Kane. He roared out of his mouth furiously, "You won't harm her!" Then the sword met the body. Then body blurred being just an illusion. Kane spun quickly in the air to see some thing horrible. Pestilence was standing in the air like it was ground and at least forty blood red arrows all aiming towards Kane. They had no bows, but shot down at fired speeds none the less and made contact. Kane's body went crashing down into the ground as a large explosion of earth happened. Alice had already begun to move towards the crash area. The dust soon cleared as green pine trees were all around the banged up Soul Samurai. Kane looked around his surroundings not seeing Pestilence anymore, but Alice rushing towards him. His samurai outfit that seemed to appear every time he turned into a human was highly ruined with being torn up all over. The destroyed upper half exposed his bare upper body. A crying mass went and put its arms around Kane, but it didn't mean safety at all.

Her words were full of concern, "Kane! Please don't get up!" She said the last part as he tried to... It would cost Alice her life.

A blood red arrow zoomed into Alice's side and her body went flying away into a tree. An explosion was heard by Kane's already dulled senses. Even with them dulled it was easy to realize what just happened. Anger and rage began to flow throughout Kane's body. Pestilence snickered lightly being only in at least thirty feet away in front of Kane. Pestilence smirked lightly as there was no trace of Alice at all.

Blue soul energy spat out of Kane's body's pours. The energy acted like an alive form of wind. Filled with new found strength his body rose up slowly. His only weapon was anger to fuel him, while Pestilence had a bow. Pestilence rose up his bow. The string began to pull back with his left hand. A blood red arrow slowly formed to symbolize it was going to be a powerful shot. Kane's crater then grew as he yelled out into the air, "Pestilence!" The named boomed out into the air. He never actually told Kane it was his name, but it was assumed. The ground shattered close to him, but none of this phased Pestilence's emotionless face. Kane's body began to move on its own. No sword. Kane decided he had to substitute with his fist. His right fist clenched and he began to rush. He threw himself with the punch at Pestilence. He was giving everything he had in one punch. The arrow was released while Kane fist makes it right by the bow. The fist hit the tip of the arrow and then all Kane could hear was a high pitch ringing noise. All he could see was darkness taking him again. An explosion of Soul Energy happened, being the color of blood red and light blue winds circling it with sinuous intents.

Another small crater was in the ground with two standing bodies in it; one with its fist against the others chest and other in an untouched black cloak. Pestilence frowned lightly at Kane seeing what had just happened. Kane's body went limp and it fell into the ground against Kane's will. Pestilence looking over him and said to the soon to out cold Soul, "You fail Samurai. Now-" He looked to his left quickly and Kane felt the darkness take him. He was unable to see the rest. To his left was a figure coming in fast. Its body of a male clothed in sturdy, but light black leather and a red scarf covering the bottom of the male's face with his whole neck. He gave no words while he went to attack. Instead his fierce blue eyes burned of excitement towards Pestilence. He had white messy hair, meaning there were no pigments in the hair for coloring. His fist glowed deeply of white soul energy, which Pestilence avoid easily with another illusion. At this point the Fist User was already aware that Pestilence was then in the air. The figure quickly changed course, jumping upward into the air. This seemed to turn to the worse with the sky being blood red around his target. Quite a lot of blood red arrows coming down at the First User. The body of the new arrival disappeared in a quick burst of speed and white Soul Energy. Pestilence was waiting though with an Arrow aimed right at the man's face. He smirked and said, "Now you will learn to not interrupt my meals!" Thunder shot down from the sky.

A large boom happened as the skillful fist user landed on the top of a tree. His balance was amazing as the tree didn't even shake from his landing. The explosion in the air slowly cleared revealing a smoking body. The body floated like it was in water, but finally it began to stand back up slowly defying quite a lot of physics. The body's face had its signature frown and turned its head towards the left. A girl with some what dirty blond hair and butterscotch eyes was standing in the air like him, her clothing looking of a school girl's. She wore a short skirt, a slightly low cut shirt, and a wizard's hat was on her head to throw off the whole outfit. The basics of the colors on her were purple in her clothing. Her loose clothing fluttered in the wind somewhat on her eighteen year old looking body. Her body leaning on what seemed to be a long baton and she finally then opened her mouth to speak, "You know I hear high up objects are a prime target for lightning." She giggled finding the humorless joke funny. She quickly got into stance as Pestilence seemed to rather angry now.

"You two shall learn your place! You really think you two lower class Souls can take Pestilence! I know all your skills and moves already, there is no way-" Pestilence turned around quickly to grab the fist of the fist user. He threw his other fist only to be caught and along with the same deal with his right foot. Then Pestilence smirked, "This is all you have!?" and the fist user flew backwards at the girl. She grabbed the Fist User almost dropping her own weapon in the process. The two were clearly still outmatched, even if it was two versus one. Pestilence laughed heavily and shouted out at the two, "You… Will die**** here!" Her eyes looked like they were conducting electricity from feeling humiliated by such a comment. Which was literal as her body began to produce static... The Fist User rushed back and Pestilence aimed his bow. He yelled out being a very angry archer, "I shall end this with one blow!" His arrow formed quickly, but when he released the string it just released a large blast at the general direction of the two.

The air crackled with energy as the Fist User had some spell of lightning casted on him from the Lightning User. His fist made impact with the large explosion of red coming at him. Finally he spoke then as he released his Soul Energy himself, "raion-unari*****" His fist now covered in white runes began to plow directly into the blast. Then another large explosion.

Trees blew from the large winds of the explosion. It blew the girl and male partner away being so strong, but Pestilence only skidded back. His hand was wiping the blood away from his mouth. This was because of being hit in the stomach. He had been damaged by such low class souls. His anger only built from the thought. The fist user was back on ground level. Unlike Pestilence he was holding his right arm. His arm smoked from being hurt by taking all the impact. Burn marks all over the skin almost covering the whole arm. Also having none of the leather nor light black cloth on it anymore. Meanwhile Pestilence spoke up and said in an egotistic tone, "Pestilence spares you three for now, though Pestilence will be back for his meal soon enough. Then you shall taste Pestilence's real wraith." He turned around and a large black wooden door formed from nothingness. It built itself up from the base being made of a wood that seemed like it was almost a metal. Pestilence hand opened the door and walked into where ever it lead him... The door closed behind him with a loud echoing slam.

"Come back you vane bastard!" The girl ran at the door, but it was much too late. The closed door had disappeared before she even became close to the door. She screamed out loudly to express her anger. Then a sigh left her soft lips and her head turned to look down very disappointed towards her partner. He let out a light sigh himself only to look away. Finally then she would notice Kane, lying in his crater on the ground. The Staff User soon enough made her way down to the crater. Her body being slightly fatigued from using her power soul energy attacks so much. She leaned on her baton again and said to unknown male to her, "Hey wake up you lazy idiot." The man did nothing and the girl's eye twitched in anger. She thought she was being ignored and because of that she got very angry. Kane woke up in a hurry from a shock of electricity going through his body.

He yelped up to see the girl and looked around frantically, though it hadn't been a dream. The girl was giggling not knowing he was very distressed. She stopped quickly seeing how he put his head down and muttered out, "Alice..."

Pestilence walked slowly throughout his living quarters. It was a large lab and he was looking at a large glass cylinder. It had wires connecting from the top and bottom with also large rubber tubes too. It was also filled to the brim with some blood red liquid that was very easy to see through, but that wasn't the odd part. It was the person inside that was the weird part. Pestilence smirked lightly and said, "You'll make a fine subject for my experiments." He turned away beginning to walk away from his new subject.

"Alice."

!~! Amazing news, the next chapter will be all info on this confusing world I made in my head. So I would advise skipping it if you dislike learning. Just think of it as a filler, but this one having actual importance to the story line. In other news I somehow read Twilight, that book... It isn't bad, but none the less -.- Ruins my view on vampires, along with no class Vampire Hunter. Oh well, in other other news I Zangoated****** the First Chapter so check it out !~!

*=Listed in order of how much I like them, of course Death is last. This means he is number one.

**= This event is only happening to one individual, so why should the world bother with such a thing and let the other things living on it deal with it. The Earth probably has better things to do anyways like make more oil or other natural resources. That or maybe it just wants some peppermint tea because I could sure go for some.

***= This is because of how he always changes back into his samurai clothing when he turned back into human form.

****=Rather odd phrase seeing Soul's are already dead... So ponder that for a while, are Souls kill-able again?

*****=This is Japanese and it means Lion Roar, but I have no idea how to make is possessive to Lion's Roar, so please deal with it ^_^

******= Zangoated was created in response to a certain author who uses the word latter. Latter is some how a word, so says , but I beg to differ! In which Zangoated was created and its meaning is to literally re-write something.
