\\"Dammit, where the hell do I go now?!"\\

The alarm was blaring in my sensitive ears. After my escape from my cell, hell broke loose immediately. I hid behind some machinery. It seemed as if every security guard in all the freaking world was inside the building. Many of them flooded the laboratory to find several of their comrades I had already killed.

\\"I need a weapon. There are far too many of them for me to take out with my fists alone."\\

"Where are you?!" a machine-gun totting man yelled, as several more men entered the room and started searching for me. I desperately looked for a weapon. Then, a small glimmer in the far corner of the room caught my eye. Once I saw that blade shimmer, my instincts to grab it flared up. That sword seemed to beckon me forth to be its master.

\\"Now or never, might as well go for it."\\

I dashed out from my hiding place, and they fired their guns at me. I jumped up, and did a mid-air flip to try to avoid their bullets. Several hit me, tearing apart my flesh. Somehow, I only felt a slight sting, than my body began to recover. The long blade was now in my grasp, and with one strong slash, two of the security guards hit the floor. The others tried to escape, but I swiftly cut them down.

I took a glance at the blade in my hand, and saw the letters "M-A-S-A-M-U-N- E" engraved near the handle. Of course, I could not even begin to grasp the significance of that words, at that time. But later on, I would realize that the word masamune would be both my new heavy and my old hell.

Running through the halls of the building, I searched for an door, a window, anything I could use to escape the building. Then, I saw it: my window to freedom. There were several guards standing in my way, but I gave them a taste of my steel. Their disfigured bodies fell to the ground with a thump. I stepped up to the glass window, surveying the outside world, the world outside my prison. I was apparently very high up, overlooking a bustling city below.

\\"This..is what the outside looks like? It's been so long since I've last seen it...."\\

"Die, you freak!" a nameless soldier yelled, throwing a grenade at me, and interrupting my thoughts.

\\"Shit, didn't react quick enough."\\

My body's frame shook from the force of the blast, and I was flung out the window. I tightly grasped my sword, I instinctively knew that I must keep it with me. The burst of flames could've incinerated a normal being, but I felt my flesh being singed. The shattered glass cut my skin, and after a moment that seemed longer, gravity's force rapidly pulled me towards earth.

\\"I'm going to die."\\

//"Not yet, do not let me die."//

\\"Huh?"\\

//"Come closer...For the Planet finds favor in you. You can awaken me."//

\\"Why should I help you?"\\

//"You were created in my image. Believe in my power, and I will lead you."//

\\"I don't understand.."\\

I was overwhelmed with fear. I was about five short seconds away from a horrible death, and yet there was something so commanding and powerful about the voice I heard in my thoughts.
// "Don't be weak, and loose faith in my power. Spread your wings. I will be the wind beneath them until you restore me to my former self. Then."//

\\"Yes.Your voice makes me understand. I agree to your proposal."\\

I weakly spread my wings, in an attempt to stop my fall. Luckily, I was able to stop from free-falling, and began to glide mere feet above the city's streets. I steadily ascended to a safer altitude, and began flying away from the city. I flew North; that's where my instincts instructed me to go. I again glanced at the beautiful blade in my hands.

\\"Masamune...I will not let you down."\\
