Authors note: Hi

Authors note: Hi! This is a sort of tester for an idea I had, so if you want me to continue, I need at least two good reviews. I thought the story sounded good, but you can never tell what other people like so…here goes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or any of its characters. Some of this came from a Tomb raider game (no 2) so I do not own Tomb Raider or Lara croft.

Legend has it that when you drive the dagger of Xian into your heart, you acquire the power of the dragon. Literally.

In ancient china the Emperor was the holder of this power, and with his army alongside him, he was a force to be reckoned with. Thus he staked claim to the vast lands that are china.

His final battle however ended in defeat. While people fell into submission all around him, the warrior monks of Tibet would not relent and courageously fought against his evil. Knowing the power of the dagger they succeeded in removing it from the dragon emperors heart-reducing him and his army to carnage. The dagger was returned to its resting place within the great wall, locked up for all time……

New York, present day.

"You Duo Maxwell?"

"Yeah."

"Got a job for you."

I didn't ask what, the man would get to it in his own good time.

He paused for a second, becoming unnerved at my obvious calm exterior.

"We want you to go after a dagger. A rare dagger."

I smirked slightly, "What, you think I hunt down antiques? Listen mister, there's a lot of people who'd pay to have my services, I go after artefacts there is a difference."

"This is no antique, this is an artefact, one that the world has not seen for a long time."

I sat up at this, bringing my feet down from the desk. "Ok, you have my attention."

"This dagger is the rarest of all, the most mystical power in china."

"The Xian?"

"You obviously know your stuff. When can you leave?"

I stood up, loading my gun.

"Right now…"

He could sense him coming, the one, the wanderer, the man whom he could trust, no matter what form he was in. Once more he would be released and he would have his revenge……

Authors note: Want me to continue? Well, anyway please review and tell me what you think, I'll probably continue anyway, can't seem to get a story out of my system unless I run it into the ground. Hmm, oh well, let me know!
