Author's note: Hello again! I read my first chapter again after posting it
and saw it wasn't really that exciting and didn't really have anything FF-
esk in it. But hey, it's the first chap so it was bound to not be that
great. But hey, second chaps up and lookie there, a Dragoon! Yeah! So
anyways, I'm done. Enjoy the story!
EDIT!!: Please re-read this chapter. I added a little fight scene starring Kage and Nite. You think this is good then you'll get more of the same when he finally finds Vyse. Oh and I got rid of the P.S. because I needed to use the "***" in the fight. I'm not sure it this takes away the feeling of my original chapter but if this turned out worse, please tell me. Ok, read the killer fight! **************************************************************************** ********
"Now remember Kage," a voice said to the warrior standing in front of it, "It is your duty to make sure that Kedro's dream does not become a reality."
After this was said, the voice dismissed Kage from the room. Kage immediately left and headed to his quarters. Kage was young for a Dragoon, around eighteen, but he was always told that it was your skill, not your age, which determined your strength. He moved a piece of blonde hair out oh his eyes. He opened the door to his room and entered. Kage was built well. Muscle's clearly showing through his common clothes. He was tall but not by a lot and always hade one solid look on his face. The look of determination, honor, so serious and to the point. This was the look of a hardened warrior.
Kage began to strap on his armor. His armor matched his eyes. The sparkling color of jade. After he suited up, he headed to an open window and jumped out. And when a Dragoon jumps you know about it.
He landed and a branch of a tree without a sound. He sprang towards another one. Then another and another after that, He could have kept going if a definite eye-catching sight didn't catch his attention.
He saw a young man no older then sixteen in a black cloak fending off a couple of monsters in the woods. By no means was he in trouble though, in fact, if Kage had blinked he would've missed the whole thing. He saw the kid charge at the first beast and a flash from some kind of object came from his cloak, dropping the beast instantly. Kage couldn't tell what the object was, the person was moving too fast. A second later he was behind the second monster and the same flash came out, but this time the creature fell in two different pieces.
Kage was in awe at what he just saw, a battle that took no more than seconds to finish. This kid could become a powerful ally. He jumped from his perch in the trees and landed next to the boy in black, which Kage will always remember as 'mistake #1.' Before he could speak a word Kage saw the all-too-familiar flash coming his way. He rocketed backwards as far as he could, being fiercely stopped by a tree.
"Who are you?" The young man asked, sounding more like a demand then a question.
"Kage." He replied, just now revealing the spear he had been hiding.
"Heh, nice weapon but the red clashes with your outfit."
Kage scoffed. So he makes jokes, huh.Well let's see if he can laugh after Kage tested him out. He has to make sure his match with those Minions was just dumb-luck.
He looked at the boy. "Fight me." He said calmly.
The boy raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
"I did not stutter. I want to fight you. Now unsheathe your weapon and prepare yourself!"
Kage twirled his spear around and entered his defensive position.
*** Nite shook his head with a smile. "Ok, fine. Let's fight. I'm a feeling a little restless anyways."
Nite stretched his arms and legs and stared at the warrior in front of him, not even motioning to his weapon. The man in green glared at him. Nite wondered what was going through his mind.
*** What is this kid thinking? Not even drawing his weapon. What an amateur. Kage shook his ready and and charged at him, spear pointed at his chest. He closed the gap and trusted his weapon with all his might into the boy in black. Only to find his long spear was imbedded into a tree. Kage pulled and out and twisted around as fast as he could. Just not fast enough. His enemy's foot found a solid spot in Kage's chest, sending him into a tree....For the second time. Kage was now annoyed.
*** Nite smiled. "He's too slow." He thought to himself.
Nite once again stared at his enemy. It was clear by the way he was dressed he was a Dragoon. Nite was ready for any fancy jumping he would do since that's the ONLY thing Dragoon's were good at. Such a lousy warrior.
The dragoon stood up and jumped up, just as Nite expected. He eyed him as his fell back to earth. He landed next to Nite but didn't stay there for long. He jumped back and placed his feet firmly against the side of a tree. Then with a quickness that matched Nite's own. He sprung from it. But it wasn't at Nite. It was towards another tree. He made contact with it and sprung off with the same tree. Nite was trying to keep his eyes on him but he was slowly loosing the sly Dragoon. Maybe They're not as worthless as he thought.
*** Kage Jumped to another tree and took a glance towards the enemy. Perfect! His back was towards him! He put as much energy as possible into his legs, using it to fly like a missile towards the boy. The tree cracked from the force and fell to the ground. Kage raised his spear for the final blow.
Kage's blow hit something but it wasn't flesh. The boy parried the attack and ducked under the still moving Dragoon. Kage felt the hot sting of metal slice cleanly threw his flesh. It sent him off balance and tumble across the ground.
"How..How did you know where I was."
"You may have been silent but the cracking tree was enough to wake the dead."
Kage scowled and stood up. He looked at the boy, only now in a new light. He now looked at him as an ally.
"I would appreciate your assistance on a task that I have been appointed." Kage could tell that he lost him so he tried to dumb it down a bit. "I need your help for something." Now the kid understood.
"What something?"
Kage was at a loss for words. His assignment was so monumental and consisted of so many things that he didn't know where to start.
"We have to stop a bad man from taking over the world." Kage could tell he used the wrong sentence to explain his task. One reason was that his new 'partner' was rolled over, laughing as hard as humanely possible.
After a solid five minutes the kid finally stopped.
"Ah whew, that was funny."
Kage gave him a stern look. "I am not joking."
When the young man saw that he was being very serious he stopped laughing. "Ok then, what must I do?" The boy asked in an equally serious tone. Kage smiled. This alliance may not be as bad as he thought.
"Above all else you must head to the town of Bemic, to the south. There you will meet a man named Vyse. He should be around thirty by now. He also has spiked red hair and dark almost blackish-brown eyes, and he has brown thickly padded gauntlets that rise up to his shoulders and kind of 'bowl' outwards."
While Kage talked he pointed the young lad in the right direction. "And don't' worry about where to find me, he will tell you where I am." The boy nodded his head without question and started to walk off, but not before Kage had a question of his own. "By the way, what's your name?"
The boy grinned and said "Nite" before continuing forward.
Nite reached the town in almost no time, he was very quick when he wanted to be. Upon entering the town he could easily tell what it was. A broken down rest stop for anyone passing though. He also realized that finding this Vyse was going to be harder then he thought.
