The Core Rescue

We open to Caim feeling his eyes get heavy and start to close. Clara's voice was loud but began to go slowly down to silences as she was yelling for him to stay awake. Her tears hit Caim's face. Clara screams out as her sisters get angry and run at I'd while he was damaged from Caim taking his own life to protect them from a monster like I'd. With the crystal shatter Clara used earlier time was unbalance so the others run at I'd with swords ready and guns draw. I'd tried to fight back but with each of Caim's daughters possessing Guardian blood. He was out number and out matched in skills plus power. He was only able to dodge but still it was not enough. Landra comes fast with her twin daggers trying to take I'd off his feet as Celestia fires away with her pistol busters. As for Amethyst she uses the elements of Fire,Earth,Water and Wind to slow I'd down from making a move. While Sindin strikes to kill him changing each part of her body into a weapon to help with his down fall. I'd jumps back far to transform as the ships of the navel come to kill him and the Guardian Core. I'd uses his long reach and grabs ships one by one to throw them at Clara and the others Celestia summons her power within and strengthens her weapons while Landra cuts through the ships with ease destroying them in the after math. Clara and the others now did not care about anything else this was revenge for taking something very important to them there father. Sindin summons a army of the dead to fight I'd while Celestia fires away damaging I'ds arm and Landra runs up the right arm to his face to strike hard. Clara lays Caim's body down and tries to keep control. Amethyst says Clara you must not lose control of your self but it was to late she draws her sword claymore and darkness flows off her body as she transforms in to abomination. She strike the ground on the left and right causing large chains to surface by I'ds form. They wrap away his stomach, arms and neck. Amethyst yells as she jumps up to grab hold of Clara but it was in vain Clara teleports and slashes through I'ds neck taking the head clean off. Landra says this is very bad we only had I'd to deal with but now Clara has last her hope. The battleships out in the water five off there rounds at the Island. Clara swings at the air causing the shell rounds to explode but also she destroys every ship standing. Landra, Celestia and Sindin use there powers to in case Clara in chains to get control of her but she fights to get free. Landra says HOLD HER TIGHT, but Celestia says I AM BUT IT IS SLIPPING. A portal opens and out came Emily who grabs hold of Clara holding tight and whispers that is enough my daughter. Clara falls to her knees soon after while crying. The abomination form fades away as Clara says I failed mother we lost father. The rest of the girls gather around to hold Clara tight. The large headless I'd fades away but the head turns back to I'd who is coughing up white blood. He laughs saying you got power child but that will not happen again. Landra screams and thrusts a crystal into his chest that absorbs him into it. Landra than puts it into her bag as they go to leave for home. Clara, Emily and Amethyst carry Caim's body home. At the Guardian home Clara keeps crying over Caim while Caim's master comes into say we can get him back but we are going to break a lot of rules to do so? Emily comes over and holds Clara saying we will do anything to get him back.

Empty Weapon By Franklin Casey

We open upon a room filled with flashing lights of red and white as a light turns on to brighten the room. It was a large lab for experimentation and in the center was a chair with cables hooked to it. Men and women with lad coals come in and get on there stations. Checking power, the balance and data feeds. In another building 63 subjects go into surgery like teens and adults of men and women that volunteer for this hoping to forget there past or what they lost dear to them. Out of the 63 that when in only 12 made it. The government was needing minds that were broken that could be used to control the robotic soldiers. With a broken mind they could remake a person  into a super computer to kill for them. But there was only one man that asked a favor, that if he controlled the robotic soldiers. He wanted to forget the lost of his wife and child to have his mind cleaned plus be on the front lines not in a chair or hooked up to a machine like the rest of the volunteers. He wanted to die on the battlefield with in, three years later he had 2600 kills under his belt. He was given the code name K-10 or X for short. He came up against others like him while fighting other countries or invaders from dimensions and space. But one mission had a mishap, X enter a ship that had left over aliens trying to flee. One jumped out and fire at X. X dodges and shoots back killing the alien but he heard a sound coming from the left in a corner. As he move over closer to see what it was. The door was locked but something was in the room. He kicked down the door to see a wife and child aliens. He points the gun and goes to squeeze the trigger when his mind goes haywire and a old memory comes back to haunt him. X sees his daughter and screams no while inside his head he hears voices from his commanders saying finish the mission. X tries again and points the gun but than a portal opens. He only had time to look when Caim comes flying out with a super man punch sending X flying out through the steel walls of the ship and skipping like a stone across the ground. Caim walks over to the dead alien X shot earlier and heals him plus brings his soul back. Clara helps the alien family through the portal to safety. Caim walks out to see a black hawk land and take X and retreat. Back at the base they take X to the emergency room for he was bleeding internally with broken bones so as they put him under he saw his daughter screaming not to go, not to forget us. After survey  they put him into the chair and again try to wipe his memories. As electric pulses go through his body, in the war room the commanders and chief speak of sending out drones to recover data of who Caim was? Mean while Caim sits down and pulls out a pocket watch to keep a eye on time. As the drones drop around him scanning him no data was coming up. The commanders and chiefs get pissed and yells at the scientists controlling the drones asking why there was no history on this being. Caim says to the drones knowing they are recording. I have a debt to settle with your super soldier so send him back or your world will exist no more.  A voice comes out of the drone saying you have no such power. Caim grabs the camera and shows them a example. He points the camera and waves his hand across the air and far out was a empty city that is leveled in a blink of a eye. 30 kilometers of a city gone. Caim says that was only 10% of my abilities. Back in the lab the scientists switch out the old shooting program for a samurai and CQC program plus they out fit him with a sword and back up dagger. The bullet proof suit was switch with a light type armor that can take damage and keep going. One of the scientist in the war room screams. The commanders and chief say what is it? As the scientist says he found something on the being. It was a stone tablet from long ago. The ancient writing was translated into English. The  massage said when they come pray for they are called for a purpose, There is no running or hiding just hope you have a place here after. The massage stops there and the commanders say I don't believe in curses or trash like that he can be killed I know he can. Send out our soldiers. As Caim sits, planes are in bond with thousands of robotic soldiers being controlled by the subjects. They drop out of the planes running at Caim full force. Caim stands and says guess it was time for a work out. As he walks with arms out to the left and right, two gate ways open one of light and dark. I'd reaches out and grabs Caim's hand and fuses to him. While a creature of pure light the Na-fi, cover in armor grabs hold of the other hand fusing as well. Caim takes on his truth self the abomination. He rises and lowers his left hand and I'ds power is used. A large monster hand rises out of the ground and grabs a hand full of robotic soldiers and crushes them while Caim uses the other hand. The ground shakes and ice spikes thrust through the chests and heads causing them to exploded. Caim dances around the battlefield destroying the robotic soldiers with eases. But than Caim kneels and slowly draws a circle in the air causing another portal to open releasing a dragon with four heads breathing fire melting them in there tracks. After every last one was destroyed Caim transforms back and bows to the dragon for its help. It nods and fly's through the portal back home. Caim than sits back down and takes a deep breath while staring at his watch saying your wasting my time to the drones. An hour later a plane fly's over head as Caim sits waiting. Out the back of the plane drops the super soldier. The super soldier hits the ground and craters it where he lands. He draws his sword and runs at Caim when he gets in close he thrusts the blade straight at him. Caim just dodges and grabs hold of the helmet and smashes him to the ground. Back at the lab the systems are over loading as the damage to the super soldier body was taken. The scientists say to the commanders and chief that the damage from that hit was to serious, He is going to lose out there. The one commander says it was like he got hit by 5000 tons of force with that take down. As the super soldier tries to move Caim sits down and says what happen to you? Caim removes the helmet to see the man was half machine and half human. Caim says man they did a number on you. But the soldier says no I asked for this. Caim shakes his head and gets up as the super soldier struggles to get to his feet. At the lab the system is going to blow as one of the scientists tries to shut it down but the system keeps going. They say what is going on? The system is now being controlled by the super soldier. The program kicks in but Caim keeps dancing around every move the super soldier throws with the sword and CQC. Caim summons his sword hell-burner, with each swing the super soldier loses arms and legs. Caim left only the torso and head together. Caim stands him against the rocks. As he says what you done to your self is no life to live. The super soldier yells trying to still fight on. Caim shakes his head asking why? As he takes the sword that the super soldier wheeled and shatters it. Caim than says with out propose and no soul within your weapon to guide you there is no victory for this life you made. Caim puts his hand on the soldiers head and says if you don't listen to reason I guess your fears have to do, maybe they'll bring your heart to the surface? When Caim lets go the soldier sees his wife and daughter standing before him. He screams no as he panic's with the machine trying to make sense of the event that is happening against the human part of him. Caim watched in sadness as the man that lay inside his shell be torture by his sadness, fear and his love that was stolen from him. The mans daughter and wife say why don't you want to remember us? Did we do something wrong? The soldier says no you did nothing wrong, I was just not strong enough to face my fears of losing you all I can't live with the failure of not being able to protect you. Than they say than why did you become a monster that loves to kill. The soldier cries saying I am not a monster, I just.... Caim stands off one of the rocks and walks over to the soldier and says no matter how much you try to bury memories or think someone can ease them they will always find a way to come back. That is the power of free will and your subconscious telling you that you are doing wrong. The soldier looks at Caim and says please end this nightmare for me. Caim says I will but you have to do something for me and he says anything. So Caim says you are apart of the system experiment and need to shut it down. So as he does the government loses system power everywhere but it does no stop there. The world is send back to the dark ages. The soldier says it is done now hold up your end of the deal. Caim says close your eyes. As the soldier does Caim thrusts his hand into the soldiers chest and tears his spirit out of the machine. His wife and daughter run to him and hold him tight. He turns back to see Caim leaving through a portal to home. The soldier yells thank you but Caim does not say nothing as he leaves. The soldier leaves with his family to heaven to live happily. But in Caim's world he cries hard knowing the lost of soldiers like his brothers and sisters so long ago. For he was the one send to end there lives for betray of the code Guardian. Emily comes in and holds him tight telling him to use her as his strength to be strong for the right reasons. Emily: I love you Caim never forget that. Caim: I love you too my heart and I promise to never forget.                         The End      

Mirror

A car pulls up to a empty house that looks like it has not been lived in for years. A young man age 30 gets out of the car and pops the trunk to grab a old book and a case of beer. He steps towards the door and uses a key to under lock it. He steps in and don't locks it behind him and walks to the foyer where the stairs are to the second floor. All the furniture was covered in sheets a long with the kitchen being empty of its food and cabinets being bear. He sat down against the wall that had a window that over looked a garden that had die off long ago. In a low voice he says just like old times. He was already drunk and was starting on another beer. It starts to rain outside as he opens the book he brought with him. Photos of him and a beautiful woman that seen to have stolen his heart. It was his wife and the house he was in was there home at one time. On the railing that was hooked to the stairs kneel a being with black wings. He just watched as the young man tortures himself for failing to protect his love that die six years ago. He cries and the tears hit the pages. As he turns the next page a flower falls out. He picks it up and holds it close to his chest. He holds the Beer bottle tightly and downs the rest and after takes a deep breath. He sees the photos of his wife giving birth to there daughter. He smiles but cries harder. His wife and child were coming home from the hospital as her mother was driving them. He was preparing a party for there arrived when they stopped at a red light by a 7-11 store that was being robbed. The robber tried to steal the car but the mother hit the gas driving the car into the center of traffic where a sixteen wheeler crashed in to them taking his wife and daughters lives while the mother survived with a broken arm and cuts.  He heard a knock on the door thinking it was his family but as he opens the door only to see the police standing there. He asked was something wrong and the one police women teared up saying that she had bad news. When she explained what happen. He fell silent not understanding the feeling deep inside him. It was like someone torn out his heart and chewed it piece by piece. The police drove him down to the accident and to the morgue. He stood over his wife and daughters bodies as the doctor and police waited outside. He kisses them both as he runs his fingers through her hair saying we were to grow old together but now I have to walk alone now. Tears fall on to her face as he says it should have been me not you two. Again on top of one of the file cases sat the being with black wings not moving just sitting shaking its head with a hard exhale. The welcome home sign still hanged in the hallway. The being with black wings looked like a greaser from a biker gang from long ago. He steps down and grabs a beer and drinks too. He says well kid what are you going to do? You have two choices go on living or sit here and waste away to the abyss? The young man just sits there continuing to drink looking over the photos maybe in time he will decide but not now. The being finishes his drink and pat's him on the shoulder as he gets up and fades away walking out of the house.

Last Chance

The wind blows moving the bridge from side to side. Snow flakes fall onto the metal as a man grabs hold of the railing blooding and climbs on to it. People are walking by ignoring him not knowing he was going to jump. Everything he worked hard for fall apart. His name was Oliver tuning, a business man with a nice family, a wife and two kids. Behind him a female stands dressed in a red dress with a low top and a slit down the left side for her to show a lot of leg. Her gloves were also red but she had jet black hair and her eyes were a deep pink with horns on her head. But out of the crew stepped another female with brown hair and wings. Her dress was white with a halo and eyes a deep blue. Oliver turns and shares a tear saying I wish for it to be over now. The angel steps forward but Oliver tells her to stay back. The demon women says that is right Oliver they can't give you back your life. But the angel says you will be condemned Oliver and she is lying to you there is no way to bring back the dead. Oliver did not know what to do his life was hard back than growing up but when he meet his future wife she protected him and help him on the right path. But being a hit man, stuff comes back to claim victims and the closet to you is always a target. Oliver was a retire military soldier with a wrap sheet that was left in the shadows. But the FBI wanted him to work for them as a hit man for hire. After six years pass doing hits on the list while  him and his wife get married and had two kids. But the FBI company he worked for said if he did one last mission he could leave. Oliver said he had enough but they said the target knew about his family so Oliver had no chance. Oliver rushed the job to end it. He enter through the window and down stairs only to come face to face with the target as he was making dinner. Oliver aim the gun and squeeze the trigger only to hear the wife and sound of a baby in the background. Oliver says I can't do it and the target says thank you as Oliver run. He could not go through with it but he was followed by a FBI agent who saw Oliver escape the house and called a number that trigger the house going up in a explosive. Oliver tried to save the baby but it was to late. As he went home he found his own family killed with a letter saying he failed and this is what you get for betraying them. So enraged he goes after everyone last one killing them all. But it is not going to bring them back. Now we stand at the bridge where he is going to take his own life. The angel says please step down your life is worth something. The demon says what are you talking about he forth fitted it when he killed the people in the past and the company of the FBI he worked for. Oliver hears sirens from police cars coming on the scene. The people watch as the police get out and say you are under arrested for murder of agents and your own family, Put your hands above your head and get down on the ground on your knees. Oliver says you might as well say I sealed there fate. Oliver saw he was going to jail and only in time he would die there but not having his family was alright like being dead inside. So he took a step forward, people screamed and it when quiet after. The angel tired to run and save him but a force pushed her back but it was not the demon women that did it. Oliver floats in darkness but a soft hand reaches out and takes his hand. It was Frizzies guiding him to where he needed to go. Than slap Oliver awakens and grabs his cheek rubbing it from the pain. Oliver sees he was in a room sitting in a chair at a table. he says to his self I remember jumping but did I die or did they catch me? A voice says: Don't worry you are die. Oliver turns to be greeted at the table by the gravedigger name Gravely the undertaker. Oliver says who are you and he says with his smile not breaking, your third choice to take the pain away. Oliver says your death and he says no. Gravely says lets cut the bull shit I are here on business I got something you want and you got something I want. So let us make a deal? He puts out a contracted saying that if Oliver signs he would lose his soul and never exist in exchange for his family to go on living. Oliver says how is this not a trap for something else. Gravely says the people I work for don't fool around with lies or false hopes. The light always wants you to do something for nothing and the darkness uses your weakness and still blows smoke up your ass. We are just the third choice but we don't help everyone, you just get a pass from someone that has been in your shoes before. So what do you say Oliver will you sign away your life? Oliver says yes but what is my soul worth to you all? Gravely says you need not worry it will be in good hands. Oliver signs and a door appears and Gravely points saying say your good-byes. Oliver gets up and walks through the door to only see his family happy to  see him. He runs over and grabs hold tight and never lets go. He says I am so sorry for what I brought upon you all. His wife cries and says it is not your fault while kissing him. He than knees down and hugs plus kisses his daughter and son telling them that everything will be fine. They start to fade back to the world of the living and the memory of him fades from there minds. The undertaker comings dancing in and says time to go kid. Oliver says I am ready, The undertaker spins his shove and thrusts it through Oliver chest but the blood flows on to the floor and every drop of blood, spirit energy and the soul fuse in to a orb while the body becomes a dry husk than dust. Gravely says rest easy kid you rolled with the punches but you can't win them all.
 In a emptiness of space Oliver walks not knowing who he is but he says one sentence thank you Guardian for the third choice.                                                              The End

The Lonely Banshee

The moonlight shrines down on the forest and through the trees. Lighting bugs fly around mushrooms and stumps. The wood land animals sleep soundly as the wind blows through the trees. The moons reflection over a small pond, ripples begin to form as a hand reaches out. A young female with blue skin crawls out and on to the grass taking her first breath of life. Fairy folk come with a wooden chest that had clothes in it. As she got dress the ground beside a tree open up and out came mother nature with the elder of time. Mother nature helps the young girl to her feet. Mother nature says to her welcome to the world my child may you have a peaceful walk. Mother nature names her Frizzies and says she is to be the bringer of live and death for she was a banshee. She was given a scroll of names and locations to collect souls or to give back what is been stolen. Mother nature and old father time help her with the first person on the scroll to help her learn her role. There was a young man dying from cancer. As they came with in the room no one could see them. The wife of the young man sat by his self crying because it was unfair that she had to let go apart of her heart and soul. Frizzies was confused by the tears the women was giving. She asked Mother nature why she was so sad and Mother nature said because Love is a strong emotion that can stand the test of time. Frizzies shares a tear for the women and walks over to the young man and sings softly instead of screaming like most Banshee's. She touches his cheek taking his soul and passing it to the other side. The light in his eyes fade as he says one last time I love you to his beloved wife. Frizzies gently touches the shoulder of the wife and says he is safe you will see him again in time. Mother nature says she can't hear you but as she says this the wife says thank you spirit I will wait for him. Father time smiles at Mother nature as she says not a word. Back at the forest Mother nature says Frizzies do you understand your role in this life? Frizzies nods but asks will I ever be loved? Father time says I am sorry little one for you there will be no other to complete your heart. Frizzies looks sad but Mother nature tries to cheer her up by saying you have the hole world to travel through. The beauty of the land will fill your heart sweetie don't worry about being alone. She waves her hand and the wood land fairies and animals came to be Frizzies friends. Mother nature and Old father time fade away. Leaving Frizzies to do her work of the circle of life. Frizzies travels to different lands and worlds healing or taking souls. She even comes across  Caim sometimes battling to save people he loves and wants to protect. Caim was fighting with one of has sisters that  a Guardian like him but she was corrupted by the darkness. He was trying to talk it out and turn her back to the hope of there role in life but she would not stand for it she wanted power. She swings hard with her Axe only to miss and Caim  flashed stepped to be behind her with his sword out to the left. The sword was cover in blood but not his own. Has sister turns and says no wonder she favored you more than us. Caim cries softly trying not to scream from what he has failed to complete which was to get his beloved sister back on the right side. Her head slides off and the body falls. Frizzies sees his pain and wishes to comfort him but Caim moves on but he leaves behind a rose for Frizzies and a letter saying please send her soul off. Caim fades through a portal to who knows where while Frizzies walks over and reads the letter and grants his wish. But as time when on deep down in Frizzies soul she wanted to beloved. That feeling never left her alone, One day as she traveled the lands of the stone age with vikings. You came upon the bodies of a bloody war that took place and only found one survivor but he was badly hurt and not long for this world. She kneel beside him and he could see her cleanly and cried saying at less he could see the beauty of her for his life was full of lose and betray by brothers and growing up as a slave to the horde of the vikings that stolen his land. He said to Frizzies before I die can you grant me a last request please. Frizzies cries and nods to him. His wish was a kiss and she granted it as his light and soul faded to the abyss. Frizzies goes home to the forest of the Irish hills and she was playing with the woodland creatures. But was trying hard to shake the emptiness of being alone. When rose and lily petals fell from the trees she danced in circles smiling at the wonder happening when Caim appear and took her hand and dance with her. Frizzies blushed as Caim looked with in her eyes. She says softly I always wanted to meet you. Caim says I know, You have been there to claim the souls of the dead for my love one Delova. Thank you for sending my sister to a peaceful rest. Frizzies says I don't understand what you mean by Delova and Caim explains that the scrolls were send by Delova the Reaper. But Delova wanted Frizzies to have a day to remember where she was loved by some one that could give it and that was Caim for his heart belong to everyone he protects. His love was pure and he would never let you fall. Frizzies cries as she lays her head on his shoulder with the heart racing with happiness. Frizzies walk the lands and worlds for 2000 years and was alone for all that time. But she was now complete with Caim by her self. Caim whispers softly to her stay with me. Frizzies says I will but what about my role? Caim hands her one last scroll from Delova. As she opens it, it says my dearest Frizzies my daughter you have worked hard doing what I asked of you.  So you have earn your heart to beloved. Who better to love you than Caim. Have a wonderful life my child and I will see you soon.                                                  The End
