Chapter 7:The Masamune-Sword of Legend
Ray's Point of View
We walked up the mountain for about an hour before reaching the peak.There,we split up and looked for the Masamune that the magazine had talked about.I walked through a small opening in a wall and noticed a glowing white light.I walked closer until I could make it out.
'I found it...Trunks,tell everyone to come to the east side and find an opening in a wall,'I thought.
'Okay,'he thought.
After a few minutes,everyone was around the sword.Each one gasped when they saw the Masamune,a sword that had been thought to only exist in stories and fairy tales.
"Oh man...I thought this thing was just a legend..."Cirrus trailed off,"I must dreamin'."
Zapland punched him on the shoulder.
"OW!What was that for!?"Cirrus demanded.
"It hurt,did it not?That means it is not a dream,"Zapland replied with a smirk.
"Usually,you pinch people,not punch 'em,"Cirrus mumbled.
"Why do you wish to have possession of the Masamune!?"a loud,deep voice called out.
I looked around for the source of the voice,"It's hard to answer when you don't show yourself."
A silver beast jumped out from behind the Masamune and snarled,the hair on the back of it's neck standing up at the same time.Its eyes were red and seemed to shine with anger.
"Now will you answer?"the beast demanded.
"I didn't know wolves could talk,"I said.
"I am no wolf.Nor am I a monster.To put it so your human brains can comprehend,I am what you see(A/N:Anyone a fan of Final Fantasy 7?That's what Red XIII says once.The 'I am what you see' part,the rest just popped into my head.),"the beast said.
"An ugly wolf-like creature with fangs the size of an index finger?"I asked.
"Hmm...I see you are no ordinary human,"the beast stated.
"Maybe I'm not human.Who knows?"I questioned.
"Do you wish to own the Masamune?The sword with the power to strike down evil with a single slice?"the beast demanded.
"Sure,"I replied.
'Why are you acting so strange?'Trunks thought.
'I'm toying with it,of course.It wouldn't be any fun if I didn't,'I thought.
'Now you're starting to think like my father.'
"Fine.Then you shall have to battle me,"the beast stated.
"So,you ARE a monster?"I asked.
"No.I am..a test.I am the protector of the Masamune,"it replied.
I could tell that it wasn't joking.Sighing,I took out me sword and got ready.
"Fine.Then I shall battle all of you!"the creature exclaimed.
I heard Trunks and Zapland draw their own swords.The creature ran at me and dashed around behind me.He was going in the direction of Sarah.Zapland stood in it's way and slashed out,only to have the beast jump over his sword and bite his arm.Blood started to pour from the wound as Zapland clutched his arm.We all attacked the beast at the same time,but it dodged everything that came close to touching it.After three minutes,it began to chuckle.
"Time is up.You have failed the test.Take a look at the sword's podium,"it said.
We all turned our head to where the sword had been,only to see nothing but a rock formation that resembled it.
"You people are strong,for humans,"the beast said.
'I know of one person in this group that isn't human,'I thought,casting a glance at Trunks.
'Perhaps we should tell them about me?'he thought.
'Yeah,probably.Eventually,they'll see us have a mental conversation and that's bound to raise a few eyebrows,'I thought.
"Perhaps you are strong enough for the Masamune,"the beast said,his eyes focused on me.
"But...Where is it now?"I asked.
"In Limbo,the land between dimensions,"the creature replied.
I looked up at the sky and noticed it was starting to get dark and the moon was rising of the horizon,"We should probably camp out here tonight."
"If you wish,I shall walk around the area and make sure no monsters attack while you sleep,"the beast said.
"Thanks...What should we call you?"I asked.
"Please,call me Nono,"he replied.
"All right then.Thanks,Nono,"I stated.
He nodded and walked off.
"I think he's more sophisticated than any normal human,"Sarah observed.
"Probably,"I agreed.
Cirrus reached into his pack and pulled out a small box.He pressed a button on it and it started change shape until it became a tent.
"I've never seen one of those before,"I said.
"It's a new technology they gave me to test,"he stated.
"'They'?"I asked.
"Yeah,some kinda' big organization that sends new products that need to be tested to random people.I guess they're too cheap to test the products themselves,"he replied.
Everyone walked into the rather large tent while Trunks and I went to get fire wood.After about ten minutes we had a fire started and enough wood to last the rest of the night.Everyone else had fallen asleep.
"When should we tell them that I am not from this dimension?"Trunks asked.
"I don't know,but...We better do it soon.You almost blew it back in that cave when you went Super.You're lucky Zapland was more interested in that battle than anything else,"I replied.
"Speaking of Super..Have you found out what happened to you?"
"No.All I know is that I couldn't really control it.It just..happened."
"That's how it happened with us Saiyans.At first,it just happened and we couldn't control it.Then it wore off and with enough practice and training,we were able to go Super Saiyan at will."
"Do you think that'll happen to me?"
"I guess only time will tell."
"Yeah,I guess so."
Nono walked up to us with a confused look on his face,"Why are two still awake?"
"Too many unanswered questions,"I replied.
"I see...The monsters have retreated from this mountain for some reason.Perhaps they find no reason to stay and guard this land because the Masamune is no longer here,"he stated.
"Maybe.It seems like a good reason,"I agreed.
"Well,I must get to sleep.Even the protector of the Masamune must rest his weary body,"he said and laid down.
"I must sleep as well.Good night,"Trunks said and walked into the tent.
"Good night,"I replied.
I stared into the fire for a few more hours before I fell asleep outside the tent.
Ending Notes:"Things are going to start picking up soon,and the story's going to get a LOT better within a few chapters.Anyway(I don't know why I use that word so much),please review.Oh yeah....I got the Masamune sword from Final Fantasy 7 as well.The old Japanese legend about it only furthered the reason to put it in.You'll see why in one of the future chapters."
