The Beginnings

The Dark Orb

A young lad name Gin Sosuke and a young girl name Jess Izanagi came to an island name Kaigen where darkness grows at night, but they stayed in a cabin in the woods to relax from their safe travels in the dark sea where they have met the kyojin (titan) of the water.

 

In the morning, Jess went into a  town to buy ingredients for a potion of healing for Gin.

"I want Gin to be safe on this dangerous island," murmured Jess, "but…I've seen him fought through a whole undead army when his parents died in the middle of it."

After Jess finished shopping she came home with a gentle smile and hugged Gin for waiting for her.

"Jess want to see the stars after dinner," shyly suggested by Gin.

"Sure!" yelled Jess while blushing.

"Well…I'm going hunting, okay Jess?" questioned Gin

"Sure?" she murmured.

Gin went outside with his Nodachi named the Tengoku no senshi and his crossbow to hunt for food, while he was hunting Gin saw a dark figure  in the distance looking at him with cold red glowing eyes.

"Who are you!" yelled Gin but the figure disappearing in thin air while he asked.

Gin felt a breeze whispering to his ears, to run away but he was as stiff as a statue and all around him was just a dark, spine chilling and murderous area to be in.

"W-What was that?" whispered Gin.

"The Dark Orb has awoken!" yelled an old man sitting on a branch.

"How did you get up there, you Geezer!" shouted Gin.

"Please retrieve the dark orb…and I will give you a  fair price when you get it for me," asked by the old man while grinning.

"Sure... I will retrieve it for you," barked Gin.

The old man smiled and threw a mask with only 2 eye holes , and a rogue jacket to Gin.

"What is this for , Geezer?" questionably asked by Gin.

"It contains powerful magic!" exclaimed by the old man.

"What magic?," asked Gin.

"Your star my young friend!" yelled back from the old man.

The old man jump down and walk into the thick dark forest.

"Goodbye," murmured by the old man.

"Sayonara, Geezer!" yelled proudly by Gin.

Gin sprinted back to the cabin with his swollen legs because of the hunting at dawn and saw Jess's beautiful black hair glowing with the sunshine, and with her white gown making her look like a beautiful princess ,but when he looked right behind Jess a dark menacing figure looking at him again with his glowing red eyes. Gin ran to Jess and grabbed her, and sprinted  inside the cabin ,and locked the door.

"What's going on Gin?" asked nicely by Jess.

"Nothing...pack up your things and we are leaving in the morning," commanded Gin.

"Oh...Okay,"  sadly sighed by Jess as she cooked chicken stew.

“How is it?” questioned Jess.

“Woah! It taste great… the tenderness with a pinch of salt made it perfect,” howled Gin stuffing his face with food.

After they finished eating Gin and Jess went to sleep, but until Gin woke up when it was still midnight, and he climbed into the roof and watch the stars glimmer.

"What does the old man mean about using my star...?" murmured Gin, "will... the star going to help me retrieve the dark orb?"

Gin's star glowed really brightly and it tried to talk to him. A dark cloaked  monk flew on the bright moon and randomly thrown deadly darts on Gin. The dark monk was a youkai (Demon), that tries to kill Gin for ransom but he was fooled by the shadow of Gin.

"Why are you doing this!" cried Gin.

"I need money for my poor family!" bawled backed from the monk.

"I can help you," exclaimed Gin as they clashes through the sky making loud boom and after they finished their brawl Gin and the monk got tired.

“But we should work together to get it ,okay?” nicely begged by Gin.

“From what…?” asked by the monk.

“By retrieving the Dark Orb” exclaimed Gin, “but we have to train to get through the obstacles…you’re up for it?

“Yes!” proudly yelled by the monk.

“What is your name monk?” nicely asked by Gin.

"My name is Brother Strander," mentioned by the monk.

After that argument they slept in the roof until the morning start to rise.

So as they pack up their things and  finding a good spot near a small island in the coast, Gin and the monk swam to the island of ShadowLand where they will meet the kyojin (titan) of the mist. When they are in the small island they grab wood and other things like fish, meat and flint to make fire for tonight. They grab a wooden sword to fight the harmful monsters in the island, they don’t want to hurt any creatures because it is illegal to hit any element monsters on that island. But they climb on a strange tree and grab a special fruit after that 1st night of the day they camp in the coast of the shadow island they smell a stench of sweaty socks and a rotten corpse on the fruit they are eating.

“Gahhhh...It used to smell good!” snarled Strander as he kept on chewing it.

“Well...Why are you still chewing on it?” asked by Gin.

“I don’t know it kinda taste good…” Strander murmured.

As they argue about the fruit, Gin and Strander went to sleep as they mumble about life. Then after that day they started to look in woods seeing dark aura insanely bouncing every coast of the island so they started to take their things in the woods to go through all the training they needed. Gin saw a bright light in a distance with few blood puddles that smells like onions with egg and it started to rain.

“Whats going on?” Strander questioned.

“We are so dead but this will be fun,” roared Gin with a bloodlust face, “and we are fighting the kyojin (titan or big one) of the mist!”

Strange aura starts to appear in the mist creating a dark present of an assassin and Gin starts to open his mouth of shockness as the rain pouring water on his mouth.

“Gahhh, it taste like goat cheese with mustard!” yelled Gin.

Then the island starts to crumble while the mist into a gigantic and hood giant with red eyes.

“I remember that eye,” howled Gin, “the stalker who watches me and Jess. . .!” Then

Gin starts to use his mask and rogue magicka but it didn’t work so he tried to use his will to fight against the kyojin of the mist. They clashed with swords along like Zeus striking down a mountain with his lightning including evil grins on their face and sweat flows into their skin making the fight more intense. After a few hours later they ended a draw…

“You did well my kinsman!” proudly yelled the kyojin (titan) of the mist.

“W-Wait… it’s a test?” questioned Gin.

“Oh yes,” howled the kyojin (titan) of the mist, “well here is your prize!”

The titan gave him knowledge about the mask and his jacket as Gin left the island but Strander is stranded on the island alone so Gin went back to get him…

After 2 years of training, Strander and Gin are ready to fight through this dark menacing obstacles.

“We are going now Jess,” barked Gin outside the house.

Gin grabbed his jacket and mask to the trip ,and ran to the monk.

“Okay...are you ready!” roared Gin.

“Yes, sir!” screamed Strander.

When they reached noon they stumbled into a tombstone and it suddenly gotten dark, the skeleton digged out of the grave and it called out the other undead. The skeleton has a black damaged hood and scythe on it’s hand while the trees woosh with fear.

“Reaper!” yammered Gin.

Gin felt the intense power from the grim reaper. The grim reaper screeched and Strander attacked with his demonic blade.

“Get out of our way!” howled Strander but the grim reaper screamed at him and he flew back.

“Are you ok Strander!” bawled Gin and when he got close to Strander he was knocked out cold.

“How dare you hurt my ally!” he roared and he took out his Nodachi.

“You will pay,” cried Gin, “he has a family to take care of and you’re just in our way to get him wealthy,”

Gin flashed through the undead and sliced the grim reaper in half but it wasn’t enough to kill him.

“I guess I have to use...that grandpa gave me,” he murmured, so he took out the special items and put it on.

“Immersed in ecstasy from killing weak things... A burdensome corpse with no benefit to people. Someone like that... I can't possibly forgive!” Gin roared. An intense energy grew around Gin and a burst of magicka goes through his Nodachi.  Then Gin disappeared in front of the undead army and appeared in the back of the grim reaper.

“Disappear!” he shouted and the intense magicka turned into an unholy flames that scorched through the grim reapers back creating the undead to evaporate from thin air. The night “illusion” vanished and Gin carried Strander to a nearby village where they will be resting for the night. Gin healed his comrade and went back to the roof of the motel where they are resting.

“It seems that the other menacing creatures are getting stronger every year,” whispered Gin, “but how is the orb giving them power to do so?” A strange object around the village started to tremble and the villagers ran to their houses. Then a strange mist flowing down the cobblestone road creating fear towards the light.

“What is going on?” exclaimed Gin and a strange looking man  pushing a broken orb around creating mist on it’s path.

“The orb starts to break even more and an intense fear was going around the orb but the orb isn’t creating mist but form of evil monsters. Gin went back inside the room and wore his jacket and mask.

“STRANDER WE HAVE COMPANY!” barked Gin ,and Strander grabbed his things like a cheetah.

“Where!” howled Strander.

“Just follow me…” Gin murmured and they jump through buildings, try to see the person who was pushing it but when they get close and it appeared it was the old man from before.

“What are you doing old man!” screamed Gin.  

“Hehe! I want more power to take over Kaigen!” the old man giggled.

“Why!?” exclaimed Strander.

“To rule over yall!” howled the old man.

“Why!?” Allen and Strander barked, but the orb starts to shake.

“It’s here, it’s here!” screamed the old man with an evil grin and the ground is about to tremble and shake, also the animals around the area screamed. Then out of the blue, Gin felt a leaping kangaroo but it was Jess running to Allen to give a specially made cross bolts for overpowered enemies.

“Thank you, Jess” shyly appreciated by Gin while blushing.

“You’re welcome,” she murmured.

“Stop flirting and get ready to fight,” yelled Strander. Then a dark form starts to come out of the orb creating earthquakes around the area.

“How strong is this thing!” exclaimed Allen.

“I don’t know…” shockingly yelled Jess and the form of the shadow turns out to be a gigantic demon.

“Let the holy lord help us?” cried all the villager.

“So, there you are!” yelled Gin while smirking, “its been awhile fighting a giant!”

“W-Wait...What??” questionly ask Strander, “did he really fought a giant before?”

“Yep!”claimed Jess.

“Lead me to the stars flaming nova!” yelled Gin and his star started to glow so bright that it would make the whole universe illuminate like heaven. Then the gigantic demon was as tall as a skyscraper and the island starts to quiver when it moves closer to Gin.

“Ohhh...I see you want to know how strong this attack do,” confidently yelled Gin, “I’ve practice this on my training.” Then the demon starts to jump and down creating a huge crater. They look into each others eyes seeing bloodlust on both of them.

“Stay back you 2,” commanded Gin, “I don’t want you 2 to get hurt from both brutal warriors.” So
