Hello again everybody, this is now going to be the first part of the actual story, not just an update chapter.
Firstly thank you to everyone who sent in an oc, I will the keep submission open for a little longer incase people were waiting to see the story before submitting.
Now enough delay lets actually start this thing :D
It was the day many people had both been wanting and dreading, the day of the conference to discuss the action to take towards death soul. The site for the conference was a small island located almost exactly inbetween the four continents whicon had a tall dark red tower as its only building. At the top of the tower was a well lit, medium sized room with a large square table with four chairs on each side. The only chair occupied was the one with the back facing west, indicating that this was the chair of the head of Tarmina. The man in the chair had fair skin, brown hair tied together at the back and pointed down, he also wore white goggles with large green lenses which completely covered his eyes. He sat waiting for the rest of the leader, being glad that he had arrived early as he knew the security would be an absolute nightmare. After about five more minutes two more men arrived. The first had pale skin, platinum hair with a silverish ponytail at the back and dark red eyes. Next to him was a man with a dark skin tone, dark green hair which was spiky at the top but was arranged into four ponytails each segmented into two balls on each one, he also had dark red eyes.
"greetings" said the goggled man standing up "I assume you two are Hakuryuu, head of Shawvana" he said gesturing towards the platinum haired man "and Zanark Avalonic, head of Farisof".
"Looks like your as smart as your rumours say, Kidou Yuuto, head of Tarmina" greeted Zanark before he took the east chair and Hakuryuu took the south one. After another five minutes the final leader entered the room. He had slightly tanned skin, brown hair arranged into spikes with hanging over the orange head band ,which he wore around his forehead, and also kept back two bangs which where at either side of his head, he also had brown eyes.
"sorry I'm late everyone, I knew security would be bad but this is something else" he apologised.
"oh it's quite alright, Endou Mamaru, head of Grisidle" smiled Kidou.
"Well lets finally get this underway then, what info do we currently have on death soul" questioned Endou
"Well that's the thing we have none" sighed Hakuryuu drawing a surprised look from the rest of the conference. "You see of all the people I have asked no one can give me an answer. No one knows were they are, who's part of it, how many from each continent or what their ambitions are. No one knows anything about themthey're a complete blank".
"Unfortunately he's right" said Kidou solemnly "we have no intel an them, that's how they've been able to get away with the assignations so far, no one knows what their plan is so we can't tell who the next target will be".
"And it's damn annoying how they've been picking off people exactly evenly, are they doing this to show that they aim to attack all for of us or are they just trying to cover their tracks" questioned Zanark.
"well that is something I also worry about" Endou answered "it's strange, I've been reading about past wars from the ancient times, and from what I can gather, the wars were always between the continents, there never was any hidden organisation like death soul".
"So to recap we have no idea about anything death soul related, we can't find anyone who does and because we have no information we can't discuss a suitable course of action?"
"Yep, pretty much" concluded Hakuryuu.
"Well unfortunately it seems we might have rap wrap this up" said Zanark, getting out of his chair, "it was nice to meet you all, gentlemen but I have to go, hopefully next time we meet we can actually make some progress, until then may this whole death soul situation improve".
"Your off to see him aren't you Zanark" said Kidou, drawing a surprised look from the other two and stopping Zanark in his tracks on his way to the exit.
"You really do know too damn much don't you" said Zanark smiling "I'm going to see someone who is a good friend of mine... well was really. Well until next time" said Zanark before he finally left, leaving the room in silence.
~0~0~0~0~0~
Zanark was walking through the little wood like area near the back of his home. He finally stopped at a small clearing which only contained a small clear glass box with a blue rabbit teddy inside and a stone plaque next to it that read
"here lies the memory of Fei Rune, friend of the past, pioneer of the future"
"Hey Fei" said Zanark as he sat down on a tree stump, smiling lightly "it's been quite a while hasn't it, twenty years since that day, it really dose seem like a long time. I remember how we first met each other, we were orphans from two different homes sent to the genetics lab to be guinea pigs for the project to improve the soul link of the people of Farisof. Before you and me came into the picture the soul of Farisof was a mere shadow of what it is today, the people back then could still adapt there body's but only for a matter of minutes and it took a lot out of them and nowhere near the standard of today. Although remembering how we met also brings back how we parted. We were the first test subjects and it was successful, well semi-successful, mines not fully stable and well, yours took your life after a few weeks. You know Fei at times I wished I had gone first instead of you," said Zanark tears forming in his eyes, "so you could see this, see how the work you and I did has benefitted all the people of today." Zanark now spoke with a couple tears running down his face, still smiling, "you really were like a brother too me, a better one than anyone could ask for" Zanark finished, standing up and whipping tears from his eyes.
"arigato, Fei" Zanark said as he went to exit the small clearing.
"aww how sweet"
Zanark froze in his tracks, malice radiating off of him as he turned towards the source of the sarcastic comment. He saw a large bulky silver robot with large fists and a black glass screen on the head section, obscuring Zanark's view of the guy inside the robot.
"who the hell are you" said Zanark coldly.
"well I would have thought the name death soul hadn't stopped appearing in newspapers and such for quite a while now".
"Oh, so you're part of death soul, what do they think they can send any old rookie to one the leaders and expect him to kill one?"
"well lets test that theory" without a seconds delay the robot lunged and Zanark, which he just managed to roll aside from.
"Wow no wonder I didn't hear that thing if it moves that fast" Zanark thought to himself. Zanark clenched his fists as the robot turnaround, but Zanarks fists became a strong brown coloured bone like material which grew to the size of the robots. The two charged at each other and locked hands, each trying to get the upper hand. As it seemed the robot was starting to over power Zanark, his feet also turned into the bone like material and grew tramendasly. With a mighty heave Zanark swung the robot over his head and slammed it down on the ground. He was about to follow up by smashing both fists into th robot but it rolled away just in time and knocked Zanark away into a nearby tree. The robot once again charged but Zanark was ready, he morphed his right hand into a long spike. He ducked under the robots fists and plunged the spike with all his force into the shoulder of the robot, impaling it. Zanark removed the the spike and punched the robots screen hard with his other hand, braking the black screen. Inside you could now see the pilots face, he was in his teens with a shaved head and an old scar above his left eye.
"Now, your gonna tell me everything about death soul" before he could get an answer Zanark felt a large, hard object hit him and throw him across the clearing. He looked up and saw the source of the attack was another teenage boy with neck length black hair, a thin but tall frame and was wearing a black jacket wich was mostly zipped apart from near the top wear you could see a green shirt peeking out, black pants and and sneakers. On his lower back was a large dark green clubbed lizard tail which looked like it was made from crystal. Zanark realised that he must also be part of death soul, the first boy from Tarmina and the new one from Grisidle.
"Go now, I'll hold him" said the new boy to the injured one in a monotone voice.
"But... I.." He replayed breathing heavily.
"Go" came the empty replay.
with a few grunts the first boy quickly fled, leaving Zanark with the lizard tailed boy. The suddenly dashed towards Zanark but sweeped his tail low, catching Zanark off guard and knocking him down. The boy then spun at an angle bring down the tail on Zanark's back. He then jumped and spun verticaly in the air intending to deal the finaly blow but Zanark rolled away and lunged at the boy with both of his hands as fists but the boy blocked the blow with his tail and sent Zanark back.
"Well it's time we part" said the boy grabbing something from out of his pocket. Zanark made a last desperate dash towards the boy but was blinded by smoke as the boy threw some small black balls on the ground which were some type of smoke bombs. Zanark kept charging threw the smoke but only hit a tree on the other side causing a large dent in the wood. As the smoke cleared Zanark saw a familiar figure emerge from the woods.
"Zanark-San" gasped the figure when it saw him, quickly running towards him and putting under Zanark's arm as support. "I heard the fighting, are you hurt?"
"no, no Saru I'm not in critical conditions but get hold of the other leaders at once, this is seriouse". Zanark finished as the two made there way back to Zanark's home.
