Defiant -> (HS) Gems of Humanity (5/15/2011 17:30:53)
|
Welcome to my story! I hope you all enjoy. First off, I want to say; this story is on-going. If you want to be a character, just let me know! Without further ado... I present to you, Gems of Humanity!
Chapter 1: A saver, not a taker.
"What kind of name is Ichirado?" With a small chuckle, the warrior moved forward.
"What kind of name is... Defiant?" The villain retorted, with eyes of cold stone.
"The last name you'll remember. You're quite the famous new kid on the block, aren't you?"
"If by that you mean, I'm the meanest villain there is, then... yes!"
"HAHA! Did I say that? No, now lets get this over with."
Defiant ran forward, gripping his most recent weapon; the Sky Hammer. Swinging it at Ichirado's head, he grunted. He wasn't used to this weapon yet, but there was no time for doubt. Ichirado ducked under the massive hammer and came back with a sturdy punch to Defiant's chest. With a grimace, Defiant quickly dropped the hammer - he wasn't used to it enough to fight this villain with it. Luckily, his Danger Claws were still sharp and as deadly as ever.
"Ever had a paper cut? They hurt. Not as much as this will, though!"
Proud with his cocky line, Defiant jumped several feet into the air and came down hard, slashing Ichirado's face with his claws. Drawing blood, Defiant was proud. Recently, so many new heroes had popped up compared to the amount of villains he hadn't been able to do much and had just been training in the VR rooms. Virtual enemies don't have blood, so this was welcomed as the sign of a real battle. In Defiant's eye, anyway.
"Another scar to add to the collection... All heroes that have given me scars have, well, died at my hands!"
Ichirado smirked, manipulating his hand into a blade using his shapeshifting powers and swiping at Defiants stomach, which was an open target considering his Luchateer armor didn't have any chest protection. Without much warning, Defiant took the hit and reeled back in pain. A huge gaping cut was now across his stomach, oozing fresh blood.
"HAHA! Blood, I can SMELL it. I... LOVE... BLOOD! HAHA!"
Ichirado began chuckling in a rather evil, cliche fashion before clenching his eyes shut. A blinding green light had engulfed him, and Defiants cut disappeared.
"How do you like my healing skill, Itchy-butt?"
"I find that incredibly offensive. Healing is stupid, it's for the weak! ...and so are itchy butts! Wait... I just called myself stupid... Grrrr!"
With a very angry look on his face, the villain jumped into the sky and came down, changing his feet into boards with millions of little spikes on them, aiming right for Defiant's head. Fortunately, his reflexes were lightning fast. Sliding across and then coming behind Ichirado, Defiant kicked him to the floor, following by dropping down onto Ichirado and delivering a dozen swift punches to his enemies face.
"You... wouldn't kill... me... you're a hero..."
"I'm not just a hero."
"What... what else are you? A coward?"
Defiant stood up and pulled his hammer back from the ground. Putting it next to Ichirado's head like a golf club, he pulled it up. As he began to bring it down, he heard someones voice. An elegant, soothing voice - as soothing as someone shouting could be.
"STOP!"
He turned around to the sight of a lady, with short black hair, gleaming blue eyes mainly concealed by a red and white striped mask, a dark spiked armor and black wings. She had a stern expression on her face.
"You're meant to be one of the best heroes in this city, and you seriously are about to do that?"
Defiant dropped the hammer within an inch of Ichirado's head, and looked at the woman in surprise.
"...Jae? What... what are you doing here?"
"Stopping you from becoming a cold-hearted villain... Like the behind you, on the floor, clawing at your legs."
Defiant fell onto the floor, Ichirado pulling his legs. Jae quickly jumped in the air, began to fly and went full speed to the pair on the floor. Quickly, she delivered a kick to Ichirado, sending him back and leaving Defiant free of his grasp. She whipped a pair of handcuffs out and put them around Ichirado's hands, leaving him struggling around on the floor.
"If you had done that, Defiant, word would've got around. I just saved you from a lot of trouble."
"Jae... I don't know what's been happening recently... My passion for violence is at an all time high.. I've never felt like this before. That fight was invigorating."
"You're a saver of lives, not a taker of them. Im going to take this guy away. See you around."
Jae grabbed Ichirado and flew away. Defiant dropped to the floor, exhausted and panting away.
"What's going on with me..."
In the distance, a faint cackle was heard. Defiant was too tired to take notice, though.
STORY LOG (Date Format: DD/MM/YY)
