Armageddon
Escape
"No, No, NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" screamed Nuke as he awakened from his nightmare.
He sat up in his bed looking through the bars of his cell at the moon.
" Why? Why? Why the same dream night after night? Why?" he said to himself.
He sighs in dissapointment. In this dream he sees himself in a grand battle against Hurika the
mastermind behind the evil in which he lives. He sees himself taking a heavy blow to the back
with her great black sword that she named Lagosmaliath. Then as he sees himself turn around he sees some
girl clad in battle armor that shines in the darkness, badly wounded she falls to her knees and standing right
in front of her is Janon Horf, he raises his sword Mitz, and yells "DIE!!!" He awakes after that. After dreaming
this for so long now he has grown attached to the mysterious girl in armor. He finds this irritating.
" I've fallen In love with a girl in my dreams. I don't even know who this person is, if she even exists."
He sighs. " I have to escape this forsaken prison."
The following morning he awakes to the sound of a terrible alarm. A sound, burning of the skin
followed by the screams of the slaved being branded. Terrible, terrible moans of pain.
" I... I can.... feel their.... pain. I can feel their pain in my heart, in my blood flowing through my veins.
It hurts..."
he says to himself, still cuddled up without any means of warmth except for the rags that fail to even give
the slightest
protection from the cold.
But the cold does not bother him much. He has a natural ability to absorb energy, making it seem why it's always
cold when approached. " Why am I always so cold?" yawning with a big mouth." Come on Nuke, You're late." Alerted Frank
the guard. " Why do i have to do this every single day? I mean come on I know every single step and technique! What
do I have to prepare for? The world does not have any warrior stronger than I, Except for my brother Janon, He's a lot
stronger than I am. But the guy is so stupid and scared of the smallest things." He mentions under a laugh. " I know
sir, but please do have respect for him. He will be the future master of this complex." Said Frank, he continued,
" You will stand by his side when he finally retakes what is ours. Besides you wouldn't want him finding out that you
despise him so." " yeah I know, he'll put me in the caves
below. "When they reached the training grounds, both took silence. An execution was about to begin, performed by
none other than Janon.
" NO!! PLEASE!!!! HAVE MERCY!!!!" blurted out the damned slave.
" Shut your mouth!!! You worthless peice of scum!! Do not fear, yours will be a quick and painless death".
He turned and withdrew his curved sword.
" But sir! Please I beg of you!! Have mer..."
The Slave's head fell to the ground, followed by a geyser of blood from his throat.
Then his body joined it's head and fell to the depths of the river of fire that flowed through the entire fortress.
" Mercy. Mercy is for the weak!!" yelled Janon.
Nuke yelled in disgust, " Hey! What the hell what was that for?!"
" I told you to never question my authority gain weakling!" replied Janon.
" Answer the question! You know there are ways that i can cause terrible pain to you!! ANSWER NOW!!"
Nuke raised his fist.
" Are you threatning me?" asked Janon.
" Does it look like I have a sense of humor? Your answer, Jan!!"
"Very well. You see this man looked at me in way that I did not like.
The way YOU are looking at me right now." Stated Janon.
" Is that so? So be it. For years I have been putting up with your shit!!
Now you just crossed the line. You know I rarely get upset. But you have angered my spirit.
You know how dangerous I can be when I am angry." Nuke hinted at Janon.
The slaves in the area as well as the guards took shelter and ran behind anything they could find.
"ENOUGH!!!" Shouted Hurika. " What is going on here? SPEAK!!!!"
" My liege, you see I was giving this here slave the proper punishment for the sin it had commited.
And My Little brother Nuke objected to it. And he got riled up about it." Answered Janon.
" Nuke, what was your objeaction to this matter?" asked Hurika.
" Well you see the sin that my cowardly brother mentioned is how that person gave him a smile.
I fail to see to give him a punishment." replied Nuke.
In return Hurika says. " Nuke thank you for clearing this matter.
Janon Go fetch yourself a new slave. Nuke maybe you should go teach him how it's done."
" But sire, I have never been outside the palace walls" said Nuke.
" I'm sure you can handle it." with that Hurika returned to her so called duties.
Being quick on his feet, Nuke had already devised a plan on escaping the fortress.
Janon had noticed how Nuke had always wanted to be on the outside. He knew that he hated this place.
Suspicion of his escape grew in his mind.
A few minutes later both came to the massive gate. It takes about a thousand strong men to open the gate.
" Alright men! HEAVE HO!!!" The Gigantic gate began to open, five hundred opening the left door and five hundred opening
the right door. A few minutes have passed by the time the gates opened to let the two out. Nuke was not
suprised to find people coming in by the way of force." Come on Jan, let's go." said Nuke as he turned to view his
surroundings as his traning had taught him. He took a good look around. As he saw the dead woods that surrounded the
fortress, he noticed there wasn't anybody around for miles except for the new prisoners being brought in. When Nuke
walked off into the woods, Janon followed but not so closely as to see where he was going. Nuke was using a technique
he was tught to confuse his enemy. Round and round he goes. Janon turns about frantically. Nuke passes by with whirling
speed and stealth. All janon could see was shadows moving behind the trees. Shadows moving within the shadows.
As if from no where Nuke jumped from behind him and had his sword in his hands in ready striking position. Before Nuke
could hit him, Janon Moved out of the way. " I always knew you wanted to get out of here." said Janon with his hand on
his sword, Mitz, " You shall Pay for your betrayal!" he continued. " I had to get out of this place. Don't you see what
it's doing to us?" said Nuke as they circled each other. " Come with me. it doesn't have to be this way.
We could see the world together you and me." They continued to circle each other. " Remember the Code Nuke? If you're not
with us you're against us!" He yealled in a sastified tone. " The code is nothing but a load of shit. Don't you see?
They're training us for battle with something, something we don't know about and can't win. Besides, wouldn't you
want to live your own life? Out their control? Think of it, your own life, where you don't have to follow any orders
from anyone. You are your own boss, not some old geezer. DOn't you wan that?" Spoke Nuke. Nuke lowered his sword and
let out his hand. "Come with me Jan, be free!" Janon had an unsual look upon his face. Nuke did not now if he would take
his hand or continue to fight. " You know Nuke, I've always wanted to be out here also, for some time. But I realized, this
is where I belong. Now and forever!! DIE!!" He thrust out his sword toward Nuke, It only singed his left arm for about
a foot. Nuke fell to one knee tending to his arm. His blood dripped from the wound. " You bastard, I offered you freedom
from this hell, all you had to do is take it!!! Die You son of a bitch!!!" Nuke's screamed at the top of his lungs.
His echoes filled the air. The scavenging animals fled the dead forest. Distracted by the echoes, Nuke knows to grasp
every chance he gets. He speings onto his feet and leaps in the air. His Sword succesful in delevring the deadly blow to
Janon's back. He fell to his knees, screaming in agony. As Nuke got up from his landing the blow, he tuned to see the
guards of the fortress running to Janon's rescue. " Nuke what have you done?" questioned Frank. " You know what this means.
I've known for some time now that you wanted to escape, you must get out of here. Here take this map, it will guide you to
your family." " Family? What are you talking about?", asked Nuke. " Frank continued, " Nuke there is no time. If you are
escape now is your only chance. You'll find out everything when you get there. GO!!!!" Nuke immediately turned and ran
as fast he could out of the forest, but not before stopping and saying, " Frank, thanks". As he turned to see what
happened with Frank, it was obvious. He was marked a traitor.
As Nuke neared the egde of the dead forest, he saw something he had not seen since he was a small child.
He saw the Sun. The Hills. The Rivers. Animals he had never seen before. Tears emerged from his blue green eyes.
His Brown blondish hair flowed with the wind. " My god what a beauty." he said. He took the map Frank had given him
from his pack. " Kakariko village eh? South I go." He turned to his right and headed south. " Man, am I hungry!!!" he
pulled his ration sack from his various pouches. Hmm. Lambus bread. And so my journey continues. What was that about
about family? I have no family, they killed them. How could I have family? All those years ago, i was suprised to see my
brother. I only saw him once when he came to visit with his foster parents. They left to live in the northwest corner of
Hyrule. That's the last I saw of him until we met again at the fortress a year later. Maybe Frank knew his foster parents.
I don't know exactly why my parents left him to their friends. Maybe he knew that they moved to my parent's house? Well,
whatever the reason I'll go south to Kakariko village.
Later that night, after he had set up camp, he went to sleep. The nightmare once again crept forth from his mind
and laid itself before his eyes. This time however the dream he dreamt for months now, had something new in it this time.
"Janon. You will die by those words!!" Nuke strikes him with a sword he has no knowlegde of, yet somehow it seems
familiar to him. Janon screams in pain as he is struck down. On his knees he mumbles a spell upon Nuke, paralyzing him.
An ally it seems, dressed in Dark clothes, speaks words that Nuke does not understand. With the spell broken he reaches
for a crytal jewel. Then As a pig like monstrosity attacks Nuke from behind Nuke sees what he has seen for so long. The
girl of his dreams shooting an arrow surrounded by light at the pig. She gives a smile to him and so does Nuke. Until that
Janon appears from the shadows and strikes her down. She falls to her knees, with her wounds and all. Her armor shining
in the dark. Janon raises Mitz. "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nuke awakens once more to the fright. " Ahh, ugh. damn.
Morning already? Shit." He gets out of his tent and stretches his arms and legs for a new day. " Ahh... Well what ya
know? there's the village up ahead. Just about a mile or two left to go." He's eager to see his so called family.
So he packs everything as fast as he could. About half an hour and a mile later he reaches the welcome sign.
"WELCOME TO KAKARIKO VILLAGE"
"Well there's not a moment to lose!"
....
....
.....
......
.......
........."NO!"
Nuke steps in the village only to find terror.....
Escape
