Just the happiest night of Kei's life. Not because tonight he has proven himself
as the strongest martial artist in the DragonFight tournament, but because this
was the night he finally payed back his arch-rival all the tears he shed when
his sister died in his arms two years ago, all the nights spent cursing his name
time after time, all the time preparing his final vengeance. It was done, vengeance
has been served, his soul finally knows peace... but also, his life has
lost meaning. Since the death of his sister at the hands of Typhoon Long, Kei's
only reason to live has been vengeance, but now he realizes that, the smile vanishes
from his face as he knows now he's empty. As the wind caress his empty face, Kei dumps the trophy in a garbage dump as he heads for the nearest bar when a desperate scream draws his attention to a nearby alley where he sees a young girl in the hands of a lowlife in a dirty trenchcoat and rags. Instinctively, Kei drops his bag while lounging himself at the molester fist outstretced, ready to smash him into next week, when suddenly the situation gets an unexpected change as the bum pops out from his trenchcoat an energy weapon that he uses to recieve the incoming foe with a blast that bounces Kei back, making him land of his bottom. As he gets up, the misterious figure takes his victim by the waist and leaps his way from the emergency ladder to the roof. As soon as he gets on his feet, Kei decides to spend a couple of seconds preparing his Karumi-Jutsu and leaps all his way to the roof in one jump. Upon landing, Kei sees his oponent still running across the rooftop with a firm grip on his victim's waist. However, upon realizing Kei's prescence, the figure turns around to face Kei and, striking the surface of the rooftop with the index finger, a huge fissure swallows Kei as the rooftop collapses. As the misterious enemy leaps to the next rooftop, kei manages to get a hold of a remnant of the few still-standing pipework and swings himself up and back to the chase. <Kei>: Just who is this guy? He's tough but... I have this feeling he's way faster than this, like he was luring me somewhere... what is it he wants? As Kei lands on the next rooftop his fleeting oponent was escaping into the building trough the roof entrance, but before he could make a move, suddenly, everything went black before his eyes. <Kei>: What? ¿What is this!? Where the hell did that bastard went to? Huh? What is that? Three prescences??... man, I'm in trouble... Upon feeling the three strangers aproaching, closing his eyes, Kei adopted his fighting stance and waited for them to make the first move. As the first prescence tried a fast and violent approach, Kei easily sidestepped him recieving the uninvited guest with a quick elbow in the back of the neck leaving him unconscious. The two remaining intruders started surrounding him walking in circles while Kei just waited silent and focused. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence both attackers launch themsleves at the same time in a sinchronized barrage of fisticuffs while Kei delfects calmly every single attack from both right and left. A quick iron broom knocked both enemies to the ground, buying Kei enough time to disable the one to the left with an effectively placed axe kick. As Kei finished bussiness with the second attacker, the one on the right was already on his feet and launching himself again but a Chi-pumped bodyflip propeled him out of the rooftop making short work of him. ...As the darkness dissipates, its again only Kei, the rooftop, and the closed roof entrance... <Kei>: Ok you wise guy, let's see what else you have in store for me! With renewed courage, Kei rushes to the front door ready to take whatever comes along. As the door swings open, three fully armored snipers that were inside and waiting open fire from within the darkness with energy rifles blasting an unsuspecting Kei out of consciousness. <Sniper1>: ...He'll never know what hit him. <Sniper2>: Guess this one didn't pass the test... <Sniper3>: ...hmmm... affirmative... affirmative... copy... over and out. Ok boys, let's get movin'. <Sniper1>: Guess not everybody wins huh? ... |
G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N recruits today what tomorrow will become the elite of the galaxy,
creme de la creme. For that purpose, our dedicated staff of seers monitor de stars
24/7 for knowledge and advice on the birth of individuals with a special destiny,
individuals with the power to change fate. G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N seeks prefers raw POTENTIAL over experience. Why? Because newbies are more maleable and can be easily adapted to new circunstances... individuals who already have some time on the bussines already come with a stablished mentality and tend to be more stubborn and reluctant to learn things all over again. In a line of work where each and every new job is a COMPLETELY different environment, fast adaptability is a decisive factor... remember kiddo, in this universe there's only the quick and the dead. The world No kid, no, the place is not like your sci-fi movies... no, it's not that different from your neighbourhood. Yes kid, you can carry your motorbike with you but...¿Why? ¿Wouldn't you like a hover cycle instead? ... I knew your reaction would be just that. Yes we have TV. Yes, we have videogames. Yes we have parks and your goddam disco ¿Would you care to stop asking silly questions?. Well, ok ¿Where was I?... oh right. As you may have already seen, this place is not that different from your homeworld so we expect you to adapt quite quickly to a place slightly more... advanced. Yes, we are a cashless society, good you figured it out that fast. Oh and BTW, here's your KID, take good care of it... and don't spend too much at once, your credits are limited. Missions Well, as you was already told, a lot is expected from you. ¿What kind of things? Easy, to keep your home safe... as well as others. ¿what? Well not exactly, 72 hours is just a conventionalism, we really send help when we see is needed, or when the planet representatives request it from us directly. Yes, there is a Galaxy Police, but they just can't be everywhere at all times, not as fast as us at least ;) Besides, that is the deal we make with every other planet from which we get recruits from: We provide help from the best qualified team for the job whenever needed and they provide us with new blood. Training Of course even if you already have formidable abilities in your homeplanet I guess you will understand that, as you are now, you're still not qualified for most missions. For starters, you could not arrive to a specific planet if I handed you the keys of the ship. Besides, you still have not a grasp of all your potential... and that's where we get in the picture. Starting today... well, next week ¿ok? we take the duty of helping you realize all you're capable of and help you reach it. ¿What we have? Easy ¿What you need?. ¿VR training? Covered. ¿Hand to hand? With the best experts in this corner of the galaxy. ¿Training facilities? Simply the best. ¿Field operations? That you will have 'em like it or not. Besides, extraordinary beigns are a scarce resoruce in the galaxy, we can't afford to loose any recruits, and for that, we have to assure they are ready to face whatever comes. Leisurely time No kid, fortunately for you this ain't the army. For starters, you will have an apartment of your own assigned (that, of course, once you have earned it) and yes, you will still have some free time. Fortunately, we don't have an emergency every two hours so you can have some time for yourself. Good luck! Well, all I have to say, hope you overachieve yourself as soon as possible, for you and the galaxy as well. Oh ¿Did I mention that you have free the first week to adapt to this place? Well, feel free to wander around as you please and explore your new home to the content of your heart. Don't forget your KID, oh and we have put some extra amount in your account for this week, have a blast kid! |
