AN: Hello my rather small reader base! It is Fanus Obscurus here with the latest update. But before I talk about it, I have a few things to explain. The reason I haven't updated recently is because I haven't had the time. School started back up for me last week. I go to a private school, so you can imagine the workload I get. Also, I am dual enrolled in college American History classes, which knock my free time down to almost zero. What I have, I have spent on myself. The only reason I have found the time to make this is because I just finished typing up a three page rough draft for a book report. Did I mention I need to finish a 800 page book by next week to have time for another book report? Ah carumba, make it all stop! But I have nothing else to do, so here I am. If you all will recall from last chapter's end authors,I promised something so crazy, so insane, that you would swear that it was from another story. Well, it says in the genre description sci-fi, so here it comes at the speed of light! Anyways, it is here that I will introduce my own OCs, and where I let the accumulated insanity of an otaku loose. Anyways, this whole section has a song to play in the background, from the same land where this is set, a song by the name of Anime Ja Nai! Disclamer: I own nothing but my own Ocs. Molefreak23 owns all the other Ocs that have so far shown there faces. Without further a due, I continue the adventure:
Sly 5
Return of the Thievious Raccoonus
Ch6 The Mystery Marksman
Third Person POV: Tokyo: a shining metropolis of technology and culture of a nation thousands of years old. Many would come for the latest technology and would stay to marvel at the ancient castles and temples of the city. But this is not what appears to those that are in it at the moment. A bubble, a force field, of pure energy had surrounded the city. If one was outside, they saw the city as it was before the bubble. Indeed, if they tried to enter the city, the entered an exact replica of the city, as it was before the bubble. But if you were truly inside it? It looked like on of the anime's that Japan was so famous for. Giant mechs, about 40ft. tall patrolled the streets as smaller, 9ft models roamed the rooftops of the surviving skyscrapers. They had appeared in the city along with the bubble and its maker, a massive flying fortress. All hope seemed lost as they took over the city. Until one day, today to be exact...
The thunderous boom could be heard throughout the dome, the sound of the monstrous 120mm guns carried by the 40ft tall mechs on full auto. Something had gained its attention. But the something in question was a bit of a special something. He was running along the top of the buildings at over 600mph, faster than sound, and certainly faster than the mecha could track him with its gun. He smirked. "This will be a fun kill", he thought. Suddenly changing directions, he leapt into the air and held his arm out. Attached to it was a rifle with a 80mm bore. Something that big was normally a tank gun. To him, it was one arm and light weight. Coming above the mech, he changed directions mid-air and fell towards the mechanical titan. The rifled barked,its monstrous rounds flying out as fast as its wielder could pull the trigger. A dozen rounds hit the same spot in the span of a second, each burrowing deeper and deeper into the titans armor, shoving the other round forward. There path extended into the middle of the monster, and their warheads took over. The machine was cleaved in two as the force of a dozen 2000lb bombs exploded into being in its belly. No one left alive in the city had seen one of the big ones taken down. Nothing had ever scratched the armor on them. But something had done far more than that.
As the survivors of the occupation gathered around the mech's remains, they saw their new beacon of hope. Standing on the remains of Tokyo Tower was a wolf. At least, that was what he looked like. He was 6"11, absolutely massive. His entire body seemed to be pure muscle not an ounce of fat was seen on him. He wore a strange suit of armor, a scale mail made of solid black metal worn of a ninja suit that covered the rest of his body entirely. The rifle that he used was still on his arm, latched directly onto the armor. On his back, two katanas jutted out from behind his shoulders. A charismatic aura surrounded him, like the leader of a mighty organization or nation. All wondered who he was and how he had arrived in the besieged town. Before they could ask him, he vanished faster than any eyes could track. Bewildered, the people looked around. All they found was a note.
"To the Noble people of Tokyo:
"You shall be free once more. The evils that contain you shall be defeated. You have an avenger. My name is Shadow. Shadow the Marksman"
Shadow"
Who is this wolf, that shall save Tokyo?
How will the Cooper child get to
Tokyo, with this barrier in the
way? Who has done this to
the once proud city?
We shall find the
answers in due
time, as it
moves on
to the future.
AN: Well, sorry if it is short, but with my workload, its all I could manage in time. Also, as to the song, I recommend listening to it in Japanese. You can find it on YouTube, so look it up. Also, this new OC is going to be very important, so expect to se more. And he has a theme as well, which I also claim no rights to and do not own. The song is: I Am... All of me by Crush 40, from Shadow the Hedgehog. I look forward to being able to write more of this story. If you have an opinion, put it in that box below. Also, side note, I have reached 690 readers on . To each of you, I thank you very much. Fanus Obscurus, signing off once more.
