the last journey

[Firestorm]

(O.O.C.: here's my character's bio http://www.christianforums.com/t47052)

Science. a curse to us all. They finally thought they figure out when the date of Christ's return. They should have known that no one can figure that day out. But none the less that date was still important. it was one day that would live in the minds of all mankind forever. The day That Terrorists nuked the whole east coast of the United States.
"He's coming!" they said as they looked up in the sky watching the the bright glowing nuke, which they thought was Christ, but as It came nearer to the earth they finally realized that it was too late. The worst part is I couldn't stop it. I had become a spectator to the doom that was to come. Only my suit protected me from definite anniliation. If only I could have stopped it, but the weeks to come where the hardest yet.
They had nuked every port and military outpost on the east coast and as the government was trying to rebuild itself, another Unthinkable thing happened. A Huge Army came from no where and invaded our shores. We fought as hard as we could but to no avail. The once Mighty United states had fallen and I was it's eye witness, and as I walk through the abandoned streets of what once Newyork 50 years later I watch some homeless children play tag in the broken up streets, and I cringe cause I know that do not have the freedoms like we did, but at the same time there is a glimer of hope, hope knowing that this once Mighty nation will rise again. I know that because God sent me a vision, in that vision I saw myself leading a band of people against not only against the government but against a far greater evil. But before we can fight against this evil I must find those others in my vision. Until then I can't do anything.

A lonely street in a lonely city. What was once the spectacular city of L.A. is now nothing but ruins, and upon the street, garbage, as if like an ocean. Waves of trash being blown by the wind, the once spectacular buildings, most destroyed by both the invasion and now more frequent earthquakes, loom over the streets below as if to topple over. The once famous Hollywood now sign spells “H-O-L-Y”. Which seems fitting with the city’s new reputation. These ruins have become a haven from those running from the law, most fugitive Christians. They along with the lower class people, are its only residents. But it’s funny ya know, I feel comfortable here, among these people. Even as I walk this street with the danger all around me, I can’t help but feel that God will get us through this.

Suddenly out of nowhere, somebody shouted “HEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!!!!” Frantically I look all round’ to see where It came from. “It must have come from over there.” I whispered to myself quietly, and as I sneakily moved over there. I began to watch what’s happening. There was a girl there, maybe … about 20, surrounded by a gang, all men.

“What do you think boss” they all said “should we get her then take her money or should we just kill her.”

“How about doing something much worse! Hahahahahahaha…” he said as he was looking down at his men, who stood about up to his waist. “..and I have the perfect plan”. Then he began whispering to one of them, who smiled a big smile.

I begin walking up to them. Making sure to stay in the shadows. “Ya know boys, you shouldn’t be outside at midnight, God knows what kind of monsters you’ll meet.”

They all back look at me, still hiding in the shadows.

“Buddy we’re the monsters here,” one of them said “and if you want pick a fight then pick a fight with all of us.”

“Yeah all of us” said a couple more

I said as I walked out of the shadows “REALLYY…”

At once everybody gasped..

“He’s a Freak!” one said.

So a Red sleeveless overcoat, black pants, boots, a belt, spiky shoulder armor, grappler gloves, a huge sword with a chain going through it, two handguns, tan skin, ever-changing eye color, a tattoo on my face and blonde hair are FREAKY? I thought to myself. Well if I’m a freak, your Frankenstein, buddy. As I stood there, they all started taking a step back, and with a bold attitude and a smile on my face I asked “Well then, who’s first ay?”

 

[Firestorm]

As they began to surround me I began to count how many there were. I don’t know why, force of habit I guess. Hmmm…20 to 1 not bad odds. I thought to myself. There was a moment of silence. They were so anxious could smell their anticipation. I looked at their faces. Some looked hesitant, while others angry. Then the silence broke as the first one charged.

“He’s mine!” he yelled as he ran toward me, fists ready to knock me out. Fool, I thought to myself, way to confident. And as his ran to me, dust kicking at his heels, I stood straight not moving for one second as like a statue. then at the last second as he was straightening his punch to hit me, I grabbed his hand with my right hand and punched his elbow with my left . In a single moment, he went from having one right arm one left, to 2 left arms.

“crack!!” his elbow went as his arm went out of place. It was so loud you could here it with earplugs in your ears. He fell to his knees as the crimson blood trickled down his forearm. He began to cry at the top of his lungs.

“AAHHHHHH!!!! He broke MY ARM!!!!!! HE Broke MY ARM!!!!!!!!!” he cried as he knelt before me, the blooded trickling a lot more now.

I looked at all the others around me, now scared stiff. Yet they were so eager to fight me earlier. I thought , oh how quickly the mind can change it’s decision. I continued to look at the rest of the gang. Then I noticed the girl. Her eyes were dilated and a little teary. Her mouth was wide open. Darn, she’s scared! I hate when I scare people like that. I got to hold myself back a little more don’t want my cyborg systems to take over.

“Too easy.” I said to myself as I watched the man cry and wail, and as he cried. Blood still spilling, I picked him up, and looked at him.

“Please, don’t kill me please.” He pleaded. I looked back at the girl, she seemed to be whispering something.

“Please don’t kill him, Oh God please don’t kill him?” she whispered. I began to question myself.Why would she want him to live? Why? God forgive me, my soul is black as my sins. I looked at the man whom which I was holding up by the collar. Why would she want to save scum like you? Why? Of course as a gentlemen I’ll spare you.

“Later.” I said. Then I threw him back with a fraction of my strength. In a flash He flew out of the alley, across the street, for a second spreading the garbage like God did to the Red Sea when Israelites where crossing it to escape pharoah’s grasp, and crashed into a nearby building, almost making it topple over.

“NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!” She screamed.

“He’ll live.” I whispered to her. Even though I don’t know why I should even let him live.

“Ouch.” He said weakily in an upside-down position, stuck in the wall for a couple of seconds, right before he fell head first into the floor.

Everybody was shocked. They were shaking all over, and their was so much sweat on their faces that you could practically swim in it. It was as if they have seen a ghost. Which is to far from the truth considering how long I’ve lived. I should be a ghost, 900 years of life is way to long.

“Anybody else wanna step up to the plate?” I asked.

Their Boss came out of the shadows. He had a huge leather jacket with spikes on it, leather gloves, a face mask that covers only his mouth and nose, and a pair of pants with chains all over. His boots where steel-toe. I could tell by the sounds they makes when he steps. Over all he was pretty big, but didn’t look to smart. I could be wrong there might actually be a brain behind that thick head of his, knowing that he’s the leader of these numbskulls. You could see he was a bit agitated. That happens when you see a teammate get hurt. I should know.

“Get him.” He said with a growl of anger. The whole gang charged straight at me.

Finally I thought

“bring it on” I said as I reached behind my back for the sword. As I grabbed a laser scanned my fingerprints
“beep finger print scan approved.” The sword announced “Beep wielder—kojimo korimako beep”. With that the sheath flapped open pulled out the sword, careful not get the chain caught.

“Let’s get this party started!!!” I yelled, and with that the fight finally begun.

 

[gibbo]

As they started to charge towards Chain he noted that there were not as many as he first thought there were mabye fifteen now for some reason. The gang saw that their numbers were a bit smaller and stopped "where did scoty and jones go?" said one of the members. "And what about dave and Quency?" said another. they looked around to find there were only seven of them lift. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!?" yelled the leader. "I don't know bo...." one of the gang stopped mid sentence. "Kenny? where'd you go kenny?" the gang looked around to find there were only three of them left. At this time the three that were left were terrified unable to move because they thought they would disapear if they did. "GET HIM!!!!!" yelled the boss, they didn't. In a rage the leader started to walk over to beat the snot out of one of his men for not obaying orders but as he got close he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see what it was but there was nothing, when he turned back to his men there was only one left. "WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!" He screamed at the last man, "i-i-i dont know boss. some-something can out of the shadows and took em'. but it was to fast to get a good look at it." Just then a fugure can out of the shadows behind chainwalker "Sorry if i ruined your party, just wasn't sure if you could take em'".
He was BIG about 7 to 8 feet high and very bulky. He looked at chain "you can take those two if you want". ChainWalker looked back behind himself to find 18 gang members knocked out cold. "Is the girl ok?" asked the stranger.

 

[WhiteLily]

The girl (who's really 16 and name is Lea) stood scared at the sight unfolding before her
"Oh no! Not more of this! I can't take anymore!
She ran toward a chainlink fence which she vaulted over with ease and landed with a soft thud
"Dang it! Dead end!
Lea ran to the very end and crouched behind a pile of rubble and started sobbing as she heard the battle end
"Somebody's gotta be dead, Lord please help me!" She prayed

 

[gibbo]

"Don't worry they're not dead, just unconscious." The stranger walked up to the fence and let Chainwalker take care of the last two. "Why do you even care? i thought they were attacking you, weren't you the one who cried out for help?"

 

[gibbo]

((( I dont think fire storm is coming back. anyone wanna take his place as chainwalker go for it. )))

 

[WhiteLily]

They were attacking me. They thought I had money so they started chasing me to this alley, where more were hiding. If I hadn't called for help and you two hadn't come and saved me, I'd probably be worst than those guys over there. So what brings you to this dirty, black, disgusting place we call home?

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"I have issues,HERE"said a voice.(((Shadow is my character,check him out in the char)))

 

[WhiteLily]

*Lea jumped a mile* Who are you?

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"well"the echoing voice continued,in a dark scary voice"am a...."it slowy waked out of the shadows"A teenager,sorry to scare you,but those goons had you cornered,so I waited here,seeing as you guys were doing so well"

 

[WhiteLily]

*raises an eyebrow* You made that spooky, evil sounding voice?

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"UIh,yeah,I had practice,living on the street,I needed to have my own territory,so I -practiced,and I use it to scare people away"he smiled.

 

[gibbo]

The stranger interupted "So, what issues do you have kid?"

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"well,that gang over there,is only half of a giant gang,my friend was kiddnapped by them,and I was planning to go through every half of that gang and set my friend free"he said,he held up his sword,a sharp,blade,with spikes that would bite into the flesh.It was a clear,light blue blade that sparkled in the sun.

 

[WhiteLily]

Very nice. Well, who's up for getting outta here before those dudes wake up?

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"well,I still wanna beat em,but,oh okay,I'll lead you out,the the secret way"he said.

 

[WhiteLily]

*Lea gave him a dark look* Don't get all spooky or I'm leavin'

 

[Ninjitsu14]

"I only do that to gangs,not to inoccent people like you,I just wanted to show off a bit"he answered.He lead them to an underground tunnel,and they walked through many hallways and corridors.finally,he came out,and they were outside the ruined walls of L.A.(((just buildings tumbled over,like walls)))

 

[WhiteLily]

*Linndie looks around* I can't belive this used to be L.A.
