p Chapter One
p Welcome to Traverse Town
p Location: First District, Traverse Town
p Donald and Goofy made their way down the dimly lit street of Traverse Town. Their cloths had changed from the ones they had worn back at the castle. Donald still wore bright a blue shirt, but his hat was now a small replica of a sailors hat. Goofy now wore a bright green sweatshirt with a black vest and golden pants with brown shoes and a black belt with a silver buckle was tied around his waist. His hat was no longer a knights helmet, but instead was a tan hat with goggles.
p "Where' s that sword?" Donald asked himself, harshly.
p "Uh you know," Goofy replied, "maybe we outa go find Leon?"
p "Ah what do you know ya big paloka." Donald said, coldly.
p "Uh what do I know?" Goofy asked himself, as Pluto, who had stowed away with them, made his way into the ally between the Item shop, and the Accessory Shop.
p "Come on Pluto," Goofy said, yet Pluto didn't listen he made his way up to a strange man, dressed in black, lying in the ally.
p Ryan, layed there unconsione till he felt somebody lick him. Once he did he awoke with a jolt.
p "Oh my head," Ryan said, "where am I?" Then he spotted a bright yellow dog standing beside him.
p "Do you know where we are?" Ryan asked the dog, which suddenly took off.
p "Wait," Ryan said, chasing after the dog. But once he neared the exit to the ally he came upon a sight that filled him with both fear and awe. A large town, full of people in strange dress was before him. Suddenly he felt his back, and found the sword he had drawn at the island.
p "ROSE," Ryan shouted, hoping to find his daughter, "ROSE." there was no answer, in fact he drew a few stares.
p "Where in the hell am I?" Ryan asked, himself. Rubbing his head he made his way into a large building with a bright yellow sign haning over the door, that read Accsessory Shop.
p The inside of the Accessory Shop looked much like a cozy home, with a large red brick fire place in the far corner, and a glass table in the center of the room and two other glass tables in the far cornor, behind a large counter was a man dressed in a white t-shirt, and blue jeans. Around his waist was a large yellow belt and around his neck was a small dog tag. He had blonde hair and a pair of pilot goggles tied around his head.
p "Can I help you?" the man asked, then when he spotted Ryan he flew into a rage, "GET OUT I DON'T SERVE YOUR KIND!"
p "Hay," Ryan said, confused, "What's your deal gamps?" The man became red in the face, then he spotted the flag on his shoulder.
p "I apologize for my outburst," The man said, aplogizing,then changed the subject, "and don't call me gramps, the names Cid."
p "Have you seen my daughter, Rose?" Ryan asked, showing Cid the picture of his daughter.
p "No can't say I have," Cid replied
p "One more thing," Ryan asked, "where are we?"
p "Don't know," Cid answered, "I've been here since those snake creeps took over my world, but, if you want to find your daughter you'd better check the other two districts."
p "What do you mean," Ryan asked, confused, "Took over your world?"
p "Just like I said," Cid replied, "a gang of thugs just swooped in one day and took over my world, said they were looking for some kinda treasure," Cid paused for a minute, "One more thing," He added, changing the subject," do you have a name?"
p "Ryan Taylor," Ryan replied, "I'm a membeer of the United States Army's elete Delta Force counter terrorist squad, so can you help me find my kid or not?"
p "Like I said," Cid answered, "check the other two districts."
p "And," Ryan asked,"How do I get there?" Cid slapped his head and began laughing.
p "Second District is just up the stares," Cid replied, laughing.
p "Thanks Cid," Ryan said, with an evil look to his face.
p "If you need help," Cid said, kindly, "Just come right back to the shop."
p "Thanks, I'll remember." Ryan replied, as he left the shop. At first Ryan didn't know what to make of all that had happened, first he was pulled into a strange portal and seperated from Rose, then some crazy old fool snaped at him. These thoughts were running through Ryan's head as he climbed the steaps. A few seconds later he came to a large wooden door.
p Location: Traverse Town Second District
p As Ryan entered the Second District, he heard a sound that was very familar to him, the sound of a helicopter's rotters whirling. A large black helicopter, with two small wheels danging from the main fusalouge.
p The COBRA TH67 Boa began decending toward the town. Benith it was a young man in a blue vest running in fear. Suddenly a man, in a uniform simmiler to Ryan's, with the exception of the helmet, which seemed to cover the top portion of his face, decended toward the man. In his hand he held a strange looking weapon, it seemed to be simmiler to the weapons Ryan was carrying except that it was smaller and seemed to fit into his hand purfectly, beneth the main barrel of the weapon was a small tube. On the shoulder of this mans' uniform was a strange insigna, a blood red cobra's head with a raised black fist beneth it.
p The man triped and fell to the ground as the trooper approched him. The man looked on in fear as the strange trooper approached, suddenly the trooper squezzed the trigger on his weapon, and a small beam of light came out of the lower tube. The beam struck the man in the center of his chest, a small light emerged from the man, who began to fade away. The light then traveled to the trooper, and vanished into the weapon.
p "Mission complete," The trooper radioed the helicopter, "Lord Stalker, and the Commander will be pleased." Suddenly Ryan charged out and kicked the trooper in the face.
p "Care to try what ever it was you did to that man again," Ryan shouted angrily.
p "Insolent fool," the trooper replied, angrily, "how dare you attack a COBRA Scale." He raised his hand to his helmet, "Send down reinforcements." Four more men, dressed in similer uniforms repeled out of the Boa. Ryan took up a fighting stance as the four Scales did the same.
p "Kill him," the leader ordered, a hall of gunfire erupted, as Ryan rolled out of the way just in time. He came to the first Scale and began kicking and punching him, as a second trooper came rushing to the firsts' aid, Ryan grabbed the small assalt rifle from the now unconcous Scale, and emptied the magazine into the other, the second Scale fell to the ground, blood gushing out of a large number of bullet wounds. The remaing Scales all charged at Ryan. Ryan looked behind him in fear, the three remaining Scales were coming right at him, shouting a single word, over and over, "COBRA". Thinking fast Ryan drew the sword, on his back, and too his amazement, the sword glowed as red as blood, and discharged a huge fire ball, which insinerated the Scales right on the spot.
p Ryan began breathing a sye of relief, but he had forgotten something, the COBRA Boa came in low, the two machine gunners at the doors firing at him. Ryan made his way toward the large blue building on the other side of the district, with the helicopter in hot persute. Thinking fast, Ryan drew his 9mm Beretta hand gun, and fired while he ran. His bullets were dead on, the pilot was hit in the face and killed instantly, following the pilots' death, the Boa flew into the ground, where it exploded in a ball of fire.
p "That was too close," Ryan said, as he tried catching his breath, exhausted the soldier made his way to the brown doors of the Gizmo Shop.
p Donald and Goofy had been searching high and low for the chosen one. The two made their way through the hotel to the Second District. Upon their arrivel in Second District they still had no luck.
p "Where is he?" Donald asked.
p "LEON!" Goofy shouted.
p "Maybe," Donald said, pointing to the Gizmo Shop, "He's over there."
p Ryan entered the dark building with a sense of dread. Something was not right, and Rose was out there all alone. Suddenly a light came on, and before him stood a large number of men, dressed similer to the ones he had just killed, except for one. The man who looked different was wearing a bright gold uniform with a black COBRA insigna upon his chest. At his side was a sword with a cobra head hilt. The hat he wore was bright yellow with a gold plated COBRA insiga upon it. The cape he wore around his shoulders was also in the shape of a cobra's head.
p A silance filled the room, as Ryan looked on in fear. The man in gold walked toward Ryan, his knee high leather boots cliqeing on the ground.
p "What do you think you're doing in here?" The man in gold asked,harshly.
p "Just passing through," Ryan replied. The Forked Tounge didn't answer, as he spotted the sword haning on Ryan's back.
p "And just where did you get that?" the officer asked
p "Found it," Ryan replied becoming nervous.
p "A likly story," the Forked Tounge replied, turning to the Scales, "Kill him and take that sword." The soldiers in the room began advancing toward Ryan. Thinking of a plan, Ryan drew his MP9 Semi-automatic rifle and put two bullets into the Forked Tounge's shoulder. With a howl of pain the COBRA officer fell to the ground, his hand over his bleeding shoulder. Now this didn't go unotice by the Scales in the room, immedetly they opened up with a hall of bullets. Ryan, thinking fast, jumped behind one of the many purple machines in the room, he fired a total of 5 single shots, killing one Scale and wounding another. Gabbing the sword from his back, Ryan ran threw the hall of gun fire, deflecting as many bullets and beams as he could, wounding and killing a number of Scales. As he made his way to the second door and made his way out to a second platform.
p "Get him," the wounded Forked Tounge shouted.
p "COBRA," The Scales replied, as 10 of them followed Ryan out onto the near by platform. Ryan was looking over the platform, breathing heavily as he inspected a broken ladder, but this was just a breaf respite for a few minutes latter, the Scales threw open the door and the battle began anew.
p Donald and Goofy were just about to enter the Gizmo Shop, when they noticed what looked to be a strange light show, bright red flashes, followed by a number of white flashes. To the two it looked like fun, but to Ryan it was deadly serius, everytime a Scale fired, Ryan had to duck and then fire off one burst from his own weapon. While Ryan was on the ground waiting for the right time, a Scale appeared above him, with his weapon pointing right at him.
p "Got ya," the Scale said, coldly.
p "Try me," Ryan replied, harshly, he quickly kicked the COBRA soldier to the ground and grabbed his weapon, which he fired point blank into another Scale. The dead Scale, by fortune had a number of magazines(ie bullet storage) on him. Ryan removed the magazines from the dead COBRA trooper, but found one other thing, an incendiary granade. Removing the pin Ryan quickly chucked the granade at the 6 surviving COBRAs. Ryan jumped off as two of the Scales came toward the edge, but before they could fire the granade detonated, causing a massive fire ball, that blew the two Scales cear off the ledge and right into the next building, while incinerating the others.
p Ryan breathed a sigh of relief as he made his way into a small house near the Gizmo shop, unawhere of the two figures that stood above him. Donald and Goofy had made their way threw the Gizmo Shop, which had been evacuated by the remaning COBRA forces shortly before they came in.
p "Not here either," Donald said, tapping his foot.
p "This may take awhile," Goofy replied, in his typical manner.
p Ryan made his way threw the house to yet another portion of Traverse Town, this portion of the town was a small ally way with a dranage system in running along one side, on the other side was a brightly lit hotel. Ryan made his way down the street, constantly looking out for anymore signs of the enemy. It wasn't long till he found one, high over head a large COBRA helicopter, with a number of missiles under its small wings, and a chain gun under its noise was circling, and just in front of him was a small truck with a .50 caliber machine gun on it.The truck was different from most trucks, as its rear wheels were the treads of a tank, and the blazing red cobra head and fist were inscribed on both sides. Ryan had two choices either make a brake for First District with that helicopter shooting at him, or attempt to sneek up on the Half-Track and shoot down the helicopter. Thinking threw Ryan decided to attempt to creep up on the Half-Track. The Spitter crossed the sky again, the gunner looking out the window.
p "Unit 34 to Unit 05 negative sighting of the treasure."
p "Roger that," The gunner on the Half-Track said, yawning, unawhere of the black figure approaching him from behind. The Scale was about to doze off, when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. Ryan moved the uncounsies soldier to the floor of the Half-Track's rear compartment then quickly manned the .50 caliber machine gun. He locked the weapon and drew a beed on the COBRA Spitter that was hovering overhead. The machine gun fired almost non stop, quickly filling the Spitter with holes, at first the crew didn't know who was shooting at them, but before they could radio for help, the helicopter exploded. Alerted by the sounds of the gunfire, and the Spitter exploding, the driver of the Half-Track came rushing out. He was dressed almost very similer to a Scale, but the only difference was the helmet he wore, it was very long, with a point at the end and round at the front, and in the center of his helmet was a golden Sidewinder. The driver glanced over to his Half-Track and spotted Ryan at the machine gun.
p "Hay freeze," the Sidewinder shouted, drawing his weapon. As he ran forward, Ryan drew his own side-arm and fired, the bullet penitrated the Sidewinder's body armor killing him instantly. Ryan then proceeded to jump over a pile of boxes back into the First District.
p Location: First District, Traverse Town.
p Cid was shining his bench when Ryan came in, outabreath.
p "Good to see you again," Cid said, "Any luck finding your daughter."
p "If you mean nearly getting killed by a bunch of gun crazed manaics," Ryan said, coldly,"Then no."
p "Tough luck, sorry man," Cid replied, "Keep looking." Ryan didn't answer, as he exited the Shop.
p The night air was fresh just what Ryan needed to clear his head.
p "They'll keep coming after you," a cold voice said behind him. Ryan spun around to see a young man long brown hair, and blue eyes standing in front of him. The man wore a white t-shirt with a silver necklass hung around his neck and a small short sleeved jacket. His hands were covered by two black gloves. His pants were black and held up by two belts his boots were zipperd and black.
p "as long as you continue wealding the Sword of Power," the man said, Ryan drew his sword.
p "What do you mean?" Ryan asked, coldly.
p "Just what I said," the man replied, "Now lets' see that sword."
p "What," Ryan said, harshly, "there's no way you're getting this."
p "Fine," the man replied, drawing a sword of his own, the sword was silver, with what looked like a gunbarrel near the hilt, "have it your way." the man swong his Gun-blade down in front of him. Ryan did the same with his own sword, at first the two men just gazed at each other with cold looks upon their faces. Suddenly the man raised his gloved hand, drawing a series of bright orange flames into his hand. Ryan took up a combat stantce, as the man unleashed a ball of fire, right at Ryan. The fireball struck Ryan dead center, but instead of killing him it just knocked him out.
p Ryan fell to the ground, dazed, but alive. The man approched Ryan looking proud of what he had just accomplished.
p "Hay you found it nice going Leon," a voice said from behind the man. A young girl, dressed in yellow shorts and a yellow shirt, and a green vest, approched him from behind.
p "I went easy on him," Leon replied, "Still things are worse then we thought. Leon picked up Ryan and took him back to his appartment.
