NightWarriors: The Twin Brother

By JJ

Part 1 of 3

Author's Note: I don't own any of Darkstalker character. Capcom holds the right to them; this is just a fictional story.

James' dreams of being in the military until he gets the rank of general, were all stripped away. The succubus named Morrigan was the one that caused this. He didn't blame her for being attractive to his strong will and soul. He still couldn't understand why she made him into a Darkstalker. He was thinking of this and many other things all at the same time. He final gathered all his thoughts and still didn't stand why it was him that she was after.

He exited his office for the last time; he looked at his name on his door, "So this is how it will end." James closed his eyes and turn around to exit the building. Outside the building were four military police men waiting for James, so they can take him off the base. James walked through the door and the M.Ps took the items he had in a box and put them in the back of the jeep. One M.Ps salutes James as he got into the jeep, "It has been an honor working for you, sir." James looks at him and then salutes him back, "It has been honor to with work you as well, and tell Doctor Keith, he has finally saw the end of me."

The M.P laughs as he puts his hand down, "Will do, sir." The jeep took off with a tap from the M.P, which James was talking to. As jeep drove through the base, James' senses started to act up when the air started to get thick. James looked up at the sky and for just five seconds, he saw a door floating. James continued to stare at the sky trying to find the floating door again. As he was doing this, the sirens around the base started to go off.

The driver stopped the jeep eminently and looked at James, "Is this your doing." James looks at the driver, "Why do you say that?" The driver got out of the jeep and with drew his gun, "I heard what Darkstalkers can do, especially ones that make humans think that they're harmless." James starts to get out of the jeep, "So you think I did this?" The driver aims his gun at James, "Don't move, or I will shot. Stay here, Darkstalker." The driver ran off into the distance only to get hit by a ball of energy.

James jumped out of the jeep, as he felt a slight change in the coldness of the air surrounding him. He looked at how all the soldiers on the base formed a massive fighting formation. He suddenly got a chill up his back. He turned around to see a pale skin man with a robot arm standing there with an evil smile. The man began to laugh, "So we finally meet, brother." James looked at the man, "My only brother is dead, and I don't know who the hell you are, but you're not my brother."

The man laughs again and held up his robotic arm, "You don't remember me, but that doesn't, your death is what I'm really after. Now, brother, prepare to die like you have died so many years ago." The man charged at James with his robotic arm, "The only true threat of this world will all ways will be me, brother. For I am your twin, TJ." James barely dodged TJ's attack, "I have no twin brother, are you insane or something?" TJ got into his fighting stance, "I'm very much insane, but I know it when I see my own brother. All those past life experiences that you have felt. All those past images in you head. That's our past life, brother. But not a past life in this world, oh no, a past life in a parallel universe. Think about it. We ran into each other on different worlds in different times. Now I finally found you in you only last form. You're the seventh generation of you family which means you hold the sword master's soul. Your name isn't James, but Tenthria. Your soul is a soul of a dead sword master. By dare departed brother, which make us brothers, twin brothers." James was in shock and couldn't say anything. TJ aim his robotic arm at him, "Now brother, since I told you who you really are, it's time for you to die." TJ began to laugh as he fired his arm at James.

James didn't have enough time to dodge the massive robotic arm. He took the TJ's hit and flew backwards. He flew into the jeep, which was in. James barely stood back up and looked at TJ with rage in his eyes. TJ robotic arm returned to him and suddenly turned into a machine gun. TJ locked onto James; "Silver cased bullets will end your life here, brother." TJ started to fire at James, as James did a back flip into the air.

TJ continued to fire as James was still in the air. James saw all the bullets flying towards him. His eyes widen as he tried to shield himself with his arms. James close his eye, "This can't be the end." All of a sudden the bullet bounced off an invisible barrier. TJ has come over with shock, "This can't be that should have killed him."

James open his eyes and notice that he was floating in the air. He also noticed he was unharmed by TJ's bullets. James landed softly on the ground, then he looked up at the sky. James smiled at TJ, "The moons has finally come out." TJ gave a confused look to James. James raised his arms towards the sky, as he did this TJ started to do a pentacle in front of him.

Protonic energy started to fill the air at massive levels. James aura started to glow as the protonic energy in the air surround him. TJ aim his left hand at James, "Pentacle of Doom!" The pentacle that TJ made in the air started to glow as a circle started to surround it. James body as started to glow at the same as the pentacle. TJ pulled back his left hand and thrust it forward.

The pentacle flew at James with great speed. James fell to his knees and started to scream in pain as a protonic field formed around him. Suddenly James' body gave off a bright light. The pentacle touched the light and instantly decimated. TJ look at this is surprise; "This can't be happen thing he can't be what my master is looking for." A key suddenly appeared in front of the bright light and slowly floated into it.

The light disappeared and James was now in his vampire form. He stood at six feet, long black flowing hair, completely white eyes, body of a body builder, and in clothes that looked like the one Demitri would ware. A protonic field started to surround his body, as he stood to his feet. Fear started to run threw TJ, as he looked at James' form, "You can't be him, you can't be the key." James raised his right hand in the air, "Energy blast." An energy blast charged at TJ from James' hand.

TJ tried to block this attack with his robotic hand, only to get it destroyed by the blast. TJ grab his robotic shoulder and scream in pain. Black liquid came out of his robotic shoulder. TJ fell to his knees, "This can't be happening, I surpass you in you power even with you Darkstalker powers and with the power of the Key of Destruction." James lower his arm to his side, "Because I have a strong will to live." James' protonic field started to build up even more.

James brought his hands together, as he push his right foot in front of his body. Energy globe started to build up between his hands. The protonic field around James started to disappear, "Twist…Of…" Before he could charge up his energy attack even more, he was suddenly hit by dark energy. A deep voice from the shadows, "TJ, I told you to bring the key to me, alive. How dare you try to destroy him." TJ started to crawl away from where the voice was coming from.

James was laying the floor, slowly getting back to his feet. James was in shock to see how scared TJ was to this voice. A shadowy figure appeared in front of TJ, "I don't need your uselessness any more." TJ look up at the figure in front of him, "No, master! Let me live!" The figure bring up his left hand, "Belong useless being." The figure fired a massive energy beam at TJ, instantly killing him.

The figure turns to James and smiles evilly at him. The figure aura of energy was greater then James' aura of protonic energy. The figure studies James, "I was expecting more from someone who is the holder of the key." James just glares at the shadowy figure. The figure set towards James, "You might be strong, but now you're in the presents of Zero, the father of all Darkstalkers."

Zero began to laugh uncontrollably at James, "Now you will obey me or die, key." James clenched his hands as thousands and thousands of soldiers run towards him and Zero. James know if he didn't do something, lives will be lost. James' eyes started to fill with rage and hatred. Zero stops laughing, "So, Key of Destruction. What's your answer?" Zero waited for James answer with an energy attack waiting for the wrong answer.
