The blood of heroes: A new dawn chapter: Stephens story
Stephen was in an airport. He had just got off his plane and was walking towards the exit. He was wearing a white shirt with grey trousers and large aviator glasses. His bag was small case. He stepped into a taxi and drove off.
''Where to?'' The taxi driver asked. He was a Colombian cab driver.
''Take me to the mountains.'' Stephen replied.
The cab journey was about an hour long and he was dropped off at the side of the road.
''No further?'' Stephen asked.
''I am not going further. Goodluck to you.'' The cab driver said. Stephen gave him the money and stepped out. He started to walk along the road. He started to walk along the road and then through the jungle.
He was travelling for a few days. He was tired and started to think he wouldn't find what he was looking for. He came across a series of ruined statues and eventually a temple. It was covered in plantation and everything was ruined.
Stephen looked around. An arrow hit the wall. He looked up at the trees and saw a man in the trees. He started to jump through the trees and Stephen chased him. Stephen used his powers to make the man fall to the ground.
''Why did you do that?'' Stephen asked. The man got up and kicked Stephen. He used his powers again and pushed him back, he also threw several trees back. The man had died.
Stephen had been travelling for two more days. The man who attacked him got on his nerves and was worried about where he was going. He had read about it and the man they call Nastavnik. Legend has it they could teach you how to control anything. His powers to getting to out of control, he needed help.
He finally found the building he was looking for. It was a tall ruined building, must have been an old temple. Stephen pushed the door open and walked in. He was stumbling because his legs were weak. An arrow hit the wall. Stephen was stood frozen in fear.
''Who are you?'' Nastavnik said. He walked towards Stephen from out of the shadows.
''My name is, is Ralph White.'' Stephen said. This was back when he still used the name Stephen.
''Why are you here?'' Nastavnik asked. Other people started to crowd around them.
''I need help...Please.'' Ralph asked. He was practically begging.
''We do not give help to random people. Unless you have something special, leave.'' Nastavnik said. Ralph make the arrow split in half. It caused him to have a nose bleed.
''Please. I can't go to my family like this.'' Stephen begged. He could remember them but was terrified to be around them. Hie power was becoming more dangerous.
''You killed one of my men.'' Nastavnik said. He started to glare at Stephen.
''He attacked me.'' Stephen defended himself.
''I saw the damage in the jungle. You are powerful. If you want to join us, I have a task for you.'' Nastavnik said.
''What?'' Stephen asked.
''Go to the cartel base three miles west of here. Stand at the entrance and request Luis Vasco. Go now.'' Nastavnik said. The doors opened.
''I need to rest.'' Stephen said. He was so tired and could barely stand.
''Your enemy won't rest. Go now unless you don't want our help.'' Nastavnik said. Stephen walked out. He was angry and tired but knew he had to.
A few hours later he found the cartel base. It was dark now and he really wanted to sleep. He stood ten meters from the doors. Lights were pointed to him and several guards walked up to him. They were pointing guns.
''I need to speak to Luis Vasco.'' Stephen yelled. He had no idea what he was going to talk about. The guards were about to shoot him. The lights suddenly broke.
A flare was released but it fell to the floor. The guards were all dead with an arrow in their chest. Several ninjas jumped off the trees and ran towards the base. There was an explosion in the background. Stephen looked in fear.
''Follow me.'' Nastavnik said. He handed Stephen a sword. Nastavnik and the other ninjas were dressed in the Ded Hunter outfit.
Stephen was looking around the base. There must have been at least a hundred people working for Nastavnik in the base. It was a massacre. A car came speeding towards him. Stephen used his power to make it crash into a shack.
The battle had lasted for a few hours. The sun had risen and the fire had gone out. The survivors were being taken prisoner.
''What will happen to them?'' Stephen asked. His sword was covered in blood.
''Examples will be made of them. Did you kill?'' Nastavnik asked.
''A few.'' Stephen replied. He didn't sound so proud of himself.
There was a loud gunshot and a man jumped over the wall.
''Stephen, get him.'' Nastavnik said.
Stephen was running through the jungle after this man. He could barely see him. The man tripped over. He tried to stand up but Stephen tackled him. The two fell down a hill and arrived at the edge of a cliff. The man took out a gun but Stephen smacked it out of his hand and threw several punches at the man. He fell to the ground and Stephen strangled him. The man had a skull tattoo all over his face.
''Shisha no hantā. Hunter of the dead.'' Nastavnik said as he walked over the him.
''The dead hunter.'' Stephen replied.
Stephen had spent the next six years training at with them. He had learnt over twenty types of martial arts and fifteen languages. The training was intense and near impossible but that was the point. He learnt how to Salmon ladder up to fifteen meters and fight on wooden poles.
''You cannot control your powers because you lack the will to control yourself. Think of your wife, your daughter...Your failure.'' Nastavnik said to Stephen. The two were standing on a fallen branch over a river. They had swords and were practising.
Stephen was in his room. It was a small room with a mattress on the floor. He had a bowl of water and was using his power to make the water hover in the air. He was shaping it.
Within the six years he had formed a relationship with another member and it resulted in a pregnancy.
''You dishonoured us Shisha no hantā.'' Nastavnik said as he entered the room.
''What do you mean?'' Stephen asked.
''Jigoki no on'na has been forced to leave. She couldn't raise a child and be with us.'' Nastavnik said. He sounded depressed. He saw everyone of his students as his children.
''I liked Barbara. Best of luck to her.'' Stephen said. The water went back into the bowl.
''I hope you know what you have done.'' Nastavnik said. He then walked out.
Three months later Stephen was in his outfit. He was heading towards the door.
''Where are you going?'' Nastavnik yelled. He was clearly annoyed.
''Leaving. I've finished my training and I'm clearly not welcome anymore.'' Stephen said.
''You have a debt to pay.'' Nastavnik yelled. He tried to stop Stephen leaving. Stephen used his powers to open the door.
Nastavnik took out his sword and the two engaged in a fight. Stephen used his powers to push him into the blacksmiths room. Nastavnik picked up his sword and a burning hot poker. Ralph walked into the room. Stephen walked in and the two continued to fight.
''Without that curse of yours, you are nothing.'' Nastavnik said. The two were stuck in a lock.
''This 'curse' makes you nothing.'' Stephen replied. He made the poker bend and burn Nastavnik's face.
Stephen was walking out of the building. He looked back on it and used his power to wreck the foundations collapsing the building.
Stephen then donned the name The Dead Hunter and travelled the world as a mercenary. He fought in every country with a conflict and became a legend. Cartels feared his name, terrorists feared him because they knew that as soon as he started hunting you, you were as good as dead.
Carrie was sitting with Nastavnik.
''That is your father's story. He has dishonoured us but we want you to take his place. We think you could do with our training Koroleva bala. In time you will understand why you have this name.'' Nastavnik said.
Well I hope you enjoyed and please review. So to sum up; Stephen dishonoured Nastavnik by impregnating Barbara Lang, ring any bells? Carrie has been given her name, anyone guess what it is? Do you think this chapter was worth it? This will actually be important to the main story. Please give me your suggestions for villains. I post images of them on my twitter at Hannibal_1996. Until next time, have fun.
