Short story i did for school (Wrote this b4 i knew about KHBBS Ven-Vex = purecoincid)

I awoke frantically, my long black hair shining with sweat. I could hear a faint noise in the distance, it sounded as if someone was screaming, but the noise was cut off suddenly. Was this a dream I thought as I got up slowly and cautiously walked to the heavy wooden door, which I then proceeded to open. I instantly froze as I saw my mother sprawled on the floor facing my door, blood seemingly splattered all over the walls and a pool forming around her body.

Through the crack of the open door, I saw a man approach from behind and look down at my mother's corpse; I was flung into a blind rage as I smashed the door open, as it hit the wall it was ripped from its hinges. I charged at the man, jumped, planted my left foot upon his chest, and twisted my body bringing my right foot towards his head. There was a loud thud as he hit the floor, but he simply growled and stood up.

I stood there, looking up at the man whom towered over me; he hadn't even been scathed by my kick. He looked down, smiled and said sadistically "This could be fun…" Out of nowhere his fist came at me, but my reactions were faster than his due to the adrenaline rush I had received, I ducked quickly out of the way and tried to sweep his legs from under him with my outstretched leg.

He laughed loudly as my plan failed and he proceeded to kick me in the chest with the flat of his foot, and as I had the wind knocked out of me I was picked up by the leg, held upside-down for a moment before being flung across the room with a flick of his arms. I hit the far wall extremely hard and kept going through it, it was then that realized that I had only caught him by surprise before.

His chest plate shone in the moonlight as he stepped through the hole in the wall. I spat blood as I struggled to my feet, my left arm hung uselessly by my side, most likely broken from the throw. I looked up and felt a surge of something behind my eyes. He looked at me, as if he'd seen something very interesting. I had heard of these knights, they went around to every village in the land, gathering or killing people with special talents, some might even go as far as to call them magical, but I had never believed in that kind of thing.

I then felt a searing pain in my arm and heard a snap, but the pain quickly left and I moved my arm as if it were as good as new. I was dumbfounded and the evil man still approached, "Necros" he said, I looked at him and then to my arm, how could he have known my name, "We have sensed a magical entity in this village" he said flatly. "It seems we were almost right, unfortunate that someone as pretty as your mother had to be wasted in finding you".

The rage came again, and I moved with a blinding speed that shocked even me. Flashing and disappearing as I rushed towards the man, when I was behind him I jumped, and span in mid air my foot connecting with the left side of his body. He was rocketed left and landed in a heap about twenty metres away.

I approached the man as he was struggling to get up and I noticed that his chest plate lay off to the side, the solid steel crumpled by the amazing force of my kick, where had I gotten that power…. The man looked up at me as I looked down I noticed that his leg was snapped and was lying at an unnatural angle.

He looked up at me and in horror he said "Those eyes…" his trembling voice trailed off after those words. My black hair was swept up in the wind, flying left. I stood over the man now, he was quavering with fear. I looked into his eyes, ignoring his pathetic attempts at begging for his life. I focused and felt that heat behind my eyes again, I held out my hand, palm facing him, fingers splayed, I felt a surge of power, blinked, and when I looked back all that was left was a charred patch of ground, smoke slowly rising from it.

2 years later

I had long since faced the evil knight and discovered my powers for the first time, I had taken my possessions and had burnt then small house my mother and I had lived in. I had heard of other people like me, each with individual powers. Also word of a boy with glowing red eyes, who had defeated a fully fledged snake knight, had spread throughout the land.

As I walked through the sun-dappled forest I found a clearing, a place where the path stopped and in place of the path there was a circle about five metres in diameter, surrounded by lush forest. This place hadn't been visited by anyone in years. I thought that I would stop, and rest at the guardian statue located at the very edge of the circle. I sat, pulled out an apple and an animal skin pouch that contained my water, and then I proceeded to eat.

I gazed up at the clouds in the space between the tree leaves. My mind wandering, Necros… I heard the faint calling of my name from somewhere behind me. I got up turned around, very slowly. My eyes flashed red, as I had come to be able to call upon the power at will (but it was more powerful if strong emotion was the cause of activation), "Who's there?" I said loudly, unafraid.

Necros…I am the spirit within the guardian statue. I looked down, shocked to see the eyes of the guardian statue glowing, a very faint blue colour. I stared at the statue for a little while before prodding it with the end of my foot, a small translucent thing, which looked exactly the same as the statue fell backwards. "Ouch! That hurts you know" the creature said. "Uhh…sorry, what exactly are you?"

"What do I look like, a donkey?" it said, "come closer and have and see what I am", "closer", "closer" "BOO!" I fell backward from the sudden fright, and the little spirit started to laugh wildly. I got up and looked at it, frustrated at its immaturity. When it had calmed down, it beckoned me to sit with it.

"Necros, you are very special, and that name that you hold was not given to you by your mother. We spirits granted you the name of the great hero necros. For you must know of the tales?" "No" I replied flatly, "They never did interest me much"

"WHAT!!!" the little spirit seemed furious "How could you talk so lowly about our savior, Necros". "Hey little buddy, why don't you just calm down and explain the legend to me?" "Hmm I might be the only one who could explain it truthfully…" "Well one hundred years ago, the legendary beast, Dojan, began to cause havoc and spread terror throughout the land"

"It is said that a guardian spirit, my grandfather Ven, stumbled upon Necros, and noticing his special powers, pleaded with the seasoned war veteran to help, heh I forgot to mention that he had been a Master general in the Old Lord's army, being second in command to the Old lord himself!"

"Well he eventually agreed and set out on a journey to collect the two weapons of power, one already being in his possession. The spirit and Necros travelled through the harshest of conditions, fighting many battles and battling the elements. While on their journey Necros mastered his powers, he could summon two mighty dragons to his side in battle, and it was said that he possessed an inhuman strength."

"Well, when they arrived under the black flying fortress of Dojan, Necros' powers had grown so great that he simply willed to be inside the fortress, and found himself and Ven inside Dojan's throne room." "Luckily at the time it was empty, for Dojan and his forces had commenced a war against the Old Lord. Necros began to dismantle the fortress, killing every living thing that had remained inside."

"Well the war had gone on for weeks at many different locations; Necros had finally found the main location, after trailing Dojan's forces for many days. Well put simply he wiped out Dojan's forces and there was a great battle, between himself and Dojan, unfortunately, the Old Lord was killed by a ricocheting dagger."

"Dojan was looking to have the upper hand, having killed Necros' dragons and was about to deliver the final blow, before Ven gave up his spiritual form to save Necros, and Necros in turn delivered the final thundering blow"

"That is the legend of Necros, as told by Vex" he (or at least I thought it was a male) said "You know you look like the old paintings of Necros, Long black hair, tall, a single pauldron on your left shoulder, those gauntlets with their sharpened fingertips, yes you indeed do look like him, all except your eyes when you activate your power, the old Necros' were blue while yours are red"

I sat there amazed, suddenly remembering my mother telling me about Necros when I was an infant to young to understand at the time. "B-b-but are you implying that I am a descendant of Necros, and that you are Ven's descendant?" I managed to say. "Yes" was all he said.

"I believe it is time to give you your sword" Vex said. "My sword?" I repeated obnoxiously. Vex walked away, and a minute later came back with some kind of crystal in hand. "Take it and call for your rightful inheritance"

I did as he said, and the crystal flashed, blinding light was being emitted from it. When I opened my eyes there was a katana in my hand, but it was too long to be a katana, yet too short for a Daito, the Golden Scabbard, with its many curving designs, gleamed and shone in the sunlight.

"It is said that the sword was created by the legendary, Japanese sword smith, Masamune, and is called the gesshoku meaning Lunar Eclipse." Still baffled, I unsheathed the sword and examined the fine work on the blade, no imperfections whatsoever. I had studied Japanese history in the year following my mother's murder, and had travelled there by boat.

I was amazed and was quick to thank Vex; he insisted it was mine anyway from the start. "So, I have reason to believe that Dojan has been resurrected or come back somehow, so will you come with me to defeat him"

"Of course little buddy!" I replied, and with that we were off. We traveled for many nights and days until we came to out first stop. The Mountain Ranges, Vex stated that I would find the second weapon here. Unfortunately I had to find the next weapon myself and he said that it would take on the form of a weapon that I would be most comfortable using.

I reached a cave, Vex close in step behind me, his head only reaching my knee. Some kind of force was directing me to move deeper within the cave. What I found was not a weapon, but a huge black mass, with gleaming white tusks. The mass was rising and falling rhythmically, I had read of beasts like these before, it was a gorilla-like creature with tusks and spines along its back.

"Be careful Necros, you may wake it" It stirred, I stiffened suddenly, and when it turned over and began snoring again I exhaled. I started walking again, slowly, and silently. My foot hit a small pebble, and I knew then that I was in for a fight.

The beasts yellow eye opened, red veins creeping across them. The beast rolled, proceeded to get up and roared. I placed my hand on gesshoku, the beast's gaze drifted down to my hand followed by another roar.

My eyes flashed and the iris changed from brown to a glowing red colour, the beast reared up, it was huge, at least 7 meters tall it towers above me, and let out another deafening roar. I yelled at the beast, it looked at me puzzled, this beast must not have been used to another creature standing up to it. Another roar and then it charged, bounding towards me, I thrust my arm forward, splayed my palm and concentrated; the beast was hit by an invisible force and thrown backwards.

It got up slowly, but I didn't wait. I charged this time and drew my sword, as it trailed behind me; I focused upon it, runic symbols appearing along the blade. The symbols glow intensified, red, just like my eyes. My movements became a haze, and so did the beast's, it was a lot faster than I had expected.

We clashed as its clawed hands met my blade. I parried the next few blows and managed to strike at its left arm, surprised at the sharpness of the blade as is sliced the beast's forearm. It recoiled and howled in pain. It jumped, almost hitting the high roof in the cave. As it plummeted downwards, I jumped to the side; it hit the ground incredibly hard, the shockwave shaking the cave.

I got up and tried to attack the beast its speed and ability to read my movements was simply amazing, the incredibly fast slashes and claw movements where impossible for a normal person to see, but with my eyes it was easy. I blocked, parried and slashed for what seemed to be an hour; I ducked as a swipe and quickly slashed upwards, finding the beast's chest.

I spun as I slashed, so I ended up facing the opposite way, trying to hold my sword straight, but failing miserably as my hands shook wildly. I breathed wildly, and sheathed my sword, darkness crept across my view "Necros..." I heard as I fell backwards. I awoke, still in the cave, to see Vex kneeling next to me, speaking a strange language that I didn't understand.

I got up slowly; I felt a pain across my chest and I looked down to see a huge gash, diagonally spanning from shoulder to hip. Strangely it was almost healed, I looked down at Vex and smiled "Thank you" I said "think nothing of it" he replied calmly.

I continued deeper within the cave, and came to a wall. I proceeded to run my hand down along the wall. I stepped back, focused and kicked, crumbling the cave wall. A faint glow emitted from a pedestal that stood in the centre of the room.

I cleared the dust and picked up the rose shaped crystal, "I've found it Vex!" I said excitedly, "Good Work!" He exclaimed. I walked out and wondered why the crystal hadn't taken shape. I looked at the sword at my side and then to the crystal, I pulled the scabbard, with the sword in it, from my waist and held it horizontally, I then held the crystal directly above the centre of the blade.

The crystal disintegrated and the dust swirled around the blade, there was a flash and then I found that I was holding a spear in my hand. A Jumonji yari, the spear was heavy in my hand but felt as if it belonged there. Vex and I proceeded out of the cave and continued our journey.

We walked for weeks, until we came across a battle. I saw a Red phoenix *** and a blue ox flag, neither of these were kingdoms near where we began our journey. The generals saw me, noticing my appearance, apparently I was wanted. Both armies charged at me. I pulled my spear out from its sling on my back. Spear-head facing the ground I focused, I hadn't changed my eyes back to normal from the previous fight and I wasn't sure that I could if I wanted to.

I ran at speeds close to the speed that teleportation takes you; in a few moments the armies were both wiped out. Corpses littered the valley. I strode slowly towards the generals, and held out my hand, my palm facing them, hand splayed. I closed my hand into a fist and struck the ground.

The earth beneath us shook, cracks appeared and an earthquake like force opened the ground beneath us, the generals fell in and perished.

Vex and I continued our journey, when all of a sudden I saw something floating in the sky. I focused again, and black wings that seemed to be made of smoke sprouted from my back. As Vex held on I flew towards the sky fortress.

I smashed my way through the roof of the throne room; there was one man only in the room. Dojan stood as I straightened myself out. "Why hello Necros, I've been expecting you" Dojan stated mockingly. "Dojan, I am here to punish you for you crimes against this Earth, and return you to the afterworld where you belong".

Dojan chuckled, and then was instantly behind me, I ducked as a sword came over my head. I jumped into the air. Climbed up onto a ledge and focused on Dojan. I watched his extremely fast movements, surprised as I could barely follow them. "KATSU!" I yelled and an explosion went off in front of him, he tripped and was sent sprawling across the floor. "Hahahaha, good move" he said as he got up and brushed himself off.

I jumped down, grabbed my spear faced it downwards and yelled "Hawk Plummet!" a cone of energy formed around me, like a spike. I hit Dojan squarely in the chest, impaling him and sticking him to the ground.

The body turned into water as is drained away, I heard a sound behind me and the real Dojan tried to do my exact move. But I was too fast. I turned and faced my spear upwards he fell upon it, this time he was really impaled. His sword dropped and I destroyed it.

Finally peace was upon us, but there was something wrong, where was Vex?

I got up, "Vex!" I called.

Suddenly my spear was protruding from my chest, I turned to see, Dojan standing, but there was something strange about him. He seemed to flicker and change, Vex was Dojan and Dojan was Vex. I had been betrayed. I plunged into the darkness, unable to recover this time…
