Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

One day in the kingdom of Carbania, the biggest kingdom for humans in this world. A very peaceful place with the strongest knights among all the humans to keep the peace. Every thing going as normal until an unknown figure falls from the sky in a forest within the kingdom's border making a huge explosion in the area.

"Minutes later, in the headquarter of the knights of Carbania"

An angry bald old man with a long beard, he's a bit obese and wearing a metal armor: What is the meaning of this?! A meteor? I thought we had a barrier blocking this type of disasters…

The knight in front of him: that's what the witnesses said, sir Niklas. We need your permissions to send an investigation team.

Niklas thinks to himself: I hate how this kingdom's safety always hard to keep… What if the situation is dangerous…? I can't take a risk…

Niklas: Call the captain of elite squad, Akira Sarume.

"Else where, nothing can be seen but a white flashy light but a white light."

A feminine voice screaming in a worried and scared tone: Run!! Run for your life… Please be safe, Zack!!

"Back to the hole caused by the meteor in the forest"

A teenage boy who has black hair, blue eyes and wearing all black torn clothes in the middle of the hole: Is that… my name? Zack? But… where am I? More important is… who am I?

"back to the knights headquarters again"

A man who is in his twenties of age, wearing a red cape on his armor and has black long hair tied from behind walks in: Why would the Chief of the Knights call for me?

Niklas: Sarume, I have a mission for you and your squad.

Sarume: Is it that serious to call the Elite Squad?

Niklas: It might be… I don't wanna take a risk. I want you to investigate about that unknown figure that fell in the forest this morning.

Sarume gives a very apathetic face: I think it's better than doing nothing all day. This place is very peaceful for a squad as good as mine…

Niklas mumbling: You say that as if you seen how hard it is to be in my position…

Sarume proceeds to walk off: Don't worry old man we will finish this as quick a possible.

"Back to the forest where Zack started wandering"

Zack looking around: This place is… somehow familiar… but different…

The boy continues wandering and enjoying the beauty of the nature. But suddenly, a punch of knights hold him down in his place, making him unable to move.

Zack in a scared tone: Who are y'all??!!

One of the knights holding the boy looks like the same age as Sarume, has black spiky hair, a very muscular body, green eyes and fighter smile: Chill, kid. We won't kill you… Well unless you fight back.

Sarume looks at the knights holding Zack: Why do you always think to rush into fighting?

The knight who was talking to Zack: Maybe because we're the strongest team? And the old man said it might be dangerous? Captain you are always boring.

Sarume: This is why you will always be behind in stealthy missions, Watari.

Zack looking at them not understanding anything

Sarume: Meru is his energy a match with the one in the meteor hole?

A guy who looks the same age as Sarume and Watari, Light blue hair and eye pupils, always has friendly smile: Well it's sensible… not the same intensity… but the same core.

Another knight in his late thirties with brown hair, looks always serious and has blue eyes: I can't believe a kid like this made all this…

Meru: Actually, Natiro… the strength of his energy is was less… Technically it's impossible for him to that…

Zack: What the hell is this supposed to mean? Who are you, guys?! Why are you capturing me?

The fifth knight, early twenties, red hair, green eyes and clothes and has a katana sword on his waist: How did you fall from the sky, kid?

Zack: How am I supposed to know something like this? I barely remember my name…

Sarume: Save the investigations for the old man, Tahiru. You still have a lot to learn about our methods. Get the kid in cuffs and let's go.

Tahiru puts a seal on Zack to prevent him from escaping. The squad take Zack and start heading back to the Capital of the kingdom. The way is long and they have to cross a mountain on their way. On their way on the mountain they walk past a cave. Zack hears a sound coming from the cave deep inside. Very scary and frightening sound.

Zack: What's this sound? Where does it come from?

Sarume: Probably a monster… You better quit any tricks cause you're not escaping.

Meru hearing the same sound: Sarume… I don't think that the kid lying. I hear the same sound. This doesn't seem like a normal monster…

The squad stops for a while then a huge red monster walks out of the cave.

Tahiru: What?! Just a regular monster…. Meru you're overreacting a lot for a vice captain, Don't you think so?

Tahiru unsheathes his katana sword very arrogantly: Leave him for me. That's a light work…

Meru: Be Careful Tahiru. I sense some unusual energy from this one.

Tahiru: For Gods Sake. I'm an elite knight not an academy cadet.

A strange aura appears around the monster as Tahiru rushes at him trying to slash him with his katana

Zack shouts unconsciously: Fall back!!! This is not a regular monster!! He's one of the unsealed demons!!

Tahiru looks at him confused but the monster grabs his sword holding him in place giving a very creepy smile

Tahiru shocked and scared: W-What… What does… this… mean… 

The monster slashes Tahiru with his claws tearing him into shreds with blood all around him. Very bloody and scary scene

Meru in a shocked voice: W-What…. What is… this….?

Sarume walks back standing between Watari and Natiro giving shocked expression

Watari in a panic: Ta-Tahiru… Impossible…. What is this thing?!!

Natiro panicking and screaming: Sarume!! You are our captain!!! Get us out of here!!! You have to!!

Sarume yells in a serious tone: Watari and Natiro, if you both don't shut up right now, I swear that I will beat the hell out of both of you.

meanwhile Zack and the Demon staring at each other

Zack hears a sound in his head: So… it's you… show me your power young prince.

Sarume gives the squad a sign so 4 of them attack the demon at the same time. One strike to finish the business. But the demon spreads his wings, grabs Watari and Natiro then flies away. Suddenly, a huge black aura appears around Zack and then his hair turns white and his eyes turns bloody red. He breaks the seal Tahiru put on him and grabs Tahiru's sword from his corpse, then starts chasing the demon even out of the borders of Carbania, but the demon manages to escape with Watari and Natiro. Zack stands there looking at the place the demon disappeared at before letting out a very loud and abnormal scream. A beam of light goes out from his body lighting the whole sky before he turn back to his normal state and fall on the ground unconscious.

"almost and hour later where Zack lost consciousness."

Sarume and Meru find Zack unconscious and they take him and return to Carbania.
