Ok... I did it today. Its short but I like it:
Darkness
It wasnt a terrifying place. More like a peaceful void where nothing could touch him. Inago floated around as he tried to work out where he was. How did he get here? He thought back to previous events, and as he concentrated on them the blackness changed into a vision of what had happened. An image of a burning temple appeared and it suddenly hit him like a speeding train. His master was alive! Danil Kaar hadnt died; he had survived and lured Inny back home to Japan. Lured him back to the place where it had all started... The pieces of the puzzle had been put together.
Danil Kaar was once known as Hopper, an American hero who had saved countless lives. He soon retired and relocated to a Buddhist Temple in Japan. Years past and he was soon forgotten by the people who had once praised him. They had moved onto newer, younger heroes.
Danil trained many minor heroes, but he was getting frustrated with his students. None of them were particularly gifted. That is until his own brother married and had a child. Roberto Kaar wasnt a hero like Danil, however he did have great magical talents. So did Robertos wife, Saffron. From birth their child, who they named Kyo, showed much potential. Danil was exceptionally jealous of his brother and asked if he could train the child. Roberto had refused and was killed in a violent scuffle between them. Saffron witnessed the events but was murdered before she could call for help. Danil Kaar now had his apprentice.
Kyos last name was changed to hide his identity and was trained by his master from an early age. He showed a great talent for martial arts and displayed the ability to leap quite a distance like Hopper had before him, and so he was named Inago, Japanese for Grasshopper.
Years passed and at the age of 15, Inago was nearing the end of his training. Danil was envious of the teenagers youth and skill. He had become paranoid of the little guy as he started to believe that Kyo knew about what happened to his parents. During a sparing match between them, Danil snapped and viciously attacked his student. Inago defended himself using all his training and fought bravely. The fight ended with the presumed death of Danil as he fell off a cliff. His body was never found but Kyo was accused of slaughtering his master. The confused youngster fled the country and headed for Paragon City, a place he had been told so much about. There he found security and friendship.
The images changed again and showed Inago standing at the Galaxy Girl statue with his friends, his sensei standing on a nearby building, watching
waiting... plotting his revenge. Danil had survived the fall and followed Inny to Paragon City where he observed him. He had hunted him through the city, and even sent assassins to kill his student. Though he hadnt anticipated Kyos new found friends who helped him time and time again. It occurred to the bitter man that he needed to get Inago away from anyone who could help him, so he set a trap and baited it.
Swirls of colours changed the pictures back into the flaming temple, a lone figure standing in front of the orange blaze, one foot resting on a pile of bodies. Inago recognized this place immediately. He had just been there, he had grown up there. It was the temple he once called home. It had been burnt to the ground and the monks slaughtered. Why would his sensei do such a thing? The figure walked through the billowing smoke of the fire and stood in a clearing. This beast of a man was twisted in appearance. Clawed hands hung from his barrel like arms and sunken, black eyes glared from an insectoid head. Kyo recognized this creature. It had once been his master, but had somehow changed into a mixture of things, a mutant. When it spoke, Inago knew it was more than just Danils appearance that had changed; it was his personality as well.
The image was suddenly distorted by a sharp pain to the chest that forced Inago to cough up blood. He now knew where he was, he was chained to a stone outside the burnt down temple. His master had won the battle and tortured his student for what seemed like an eternity. The blackness cleared and Kyo could see his captor once more. The beasts mandibles open in what could only have been a grin. Itsss not time for passing out little one. The time of your death is at hand. It spoke with an eerie chorus of clicks and hisses that only just translated into speech. Kyo looked down at his body through bloodshot eyes; a series of deep gashes covered his flesh and bruises made his skin appear somewhat darker than his natural colour. His arm was twisted in an awkward manner and had appeared to have been broken in several places, along with a few ribs. A cool breeze soothed some of the burns that had recently been afflicted. Next to the stone lay pieces of armor plating that had been torn from Inagos now retracted armor as well as the ashes from the cloak that had been given to him by Jester.
Your loved onesss will be nexssst. The bee, the half-breedsss. All of them will ssssuffer. They sssshall ssscream for daysss. Inagos almost crushed spirit was angered by the words coming from his former masters mouth. No-one was going to hurt his friends, his family, not like this, not ever. He tensed his scarred fists as hard as he could, trickles of blood dripped on the stone from fresh wounds. With a scream like that of a banshee he pulled at the chains with all his remaining strength. They buckled under the pressure and a few of the links broke as he flew from the stone onto the startled Danil Kaar. The remaining chain hung from Innys shackles like flails which he used to repeatedly beat against his senseis head. The man roared, but ended up choking on his own vital fluids.
After what was almost half an hour of pure rage, Inago was doing nothing but hitting wet pieces of skull into the dirt. The world started to spin wildly and the blackness returned. The teenager collapsed next to the corpse of his foe and passed out. He had managed to free himself and become victorious, but at what cost? His body was mutilated and his spirit all but destroyed. Yet all hope isnt lost as hes discovered by an old hermit.
Anyway... back to filling out this job form. I so hope I get this loads of money for my IT knowledge.
