《The Enigmas: First Crusades》A New Fight
Advertisement
(The scene opens with Karl, Issac, and Toria riding in the Van heading towards the location Jackie gave them. THey are having a conversation about the battle they just went through and they finally start having real introduction.)
Toria: So you fight using some sort of space-time technology Karl. It is a very intresting way of fighting your attacks in the battle were very unpredictable almost impossible to guess what was going to come next. With a little training you can go far.
Karl: Well thank you but my suit still need some upgrades. Your the one who deserves praise you were able to hold your own so easily it seemed like against to of them. If not for that short guy you would have had the situation handled.
Issac: Yeah, If that little bald bastard was'nt there you would have beat them with is. I could have beat the two ot them with ease too but thta goes without saying right Toria.
Karl: You have heart but you were by far the weakest fighter on the field. You have no sense of strategy. You rush in without even thinking and you viewyourself as stronger then you really are. That is a dangerous collection of weaknesss you need to work hard to keep you and your companions alive.
Issac: Damn, I ah.. don't know what to say. I guess I just showfd off. Don't worry Toria I know you were to stunned by my abilities to comprehend how strong I am.
Toria: Yeah, I completly wothless cause when it comes to battle.
(Issac looks annoyed)
Karl(laughing): Well at least his still the greatest hacker in the world.
Toria: I must admit i have never seen any one this good before.
Issac(Lifts his head up from his computer running test on the damaged mech suit): You know it.
Toria: But he is still to vulgar. So Karl, Issac how did the two of you come by being apart of the resistance?
(karl is about to speak when Issac intterupts)
Issac Well you see my lovely I was sitting in my hotel room three months ago doing some serious work when our fair gentlemen here and that pumpkin pycho busted through the door and asked me for my help. Naturally being a kind soul I decided to help, and i've been kicking bad guy ass ever sence.
Toria: He needed to be saved did'nt he.
Karl: Pretty much.
Issac: Hey I could have held my own.(looking flustered)
Toria: So Karl how did you get involved?
Karl: Well my friend Amanda got kidnapped by some of those men. I saw what and instead of going to the police and took things in my own hands. I took some of the new space-time technology I was working on and headed out to save her.
Toria: so isee you set out and saved her single handedly. You are an impressive man Karl.
Kar(smiling): No I didn't do it alone a man was there who helped me save her.
Toria(curious): Who was this man?
Karl: Why it was the man who saved you. Jackie Jones wa the man who saved Amanda and me.
Toria: You seem to speak very highly of this man whats he like.

Karl: He is hard to explain.
Issac: Well I can some him up pretty easy he is a god damn crazy man!
Toria: It seems this Jackie Jones is surronded in mystery I really want to meet him.
Issac: Oh no Toria you don't want to meet him. So we have told you about ourselves why don't you tell us about yourself. I don't believe we have your full name.
Toria: Toria is my full name I was born to migrant were-people. We didn't have a family name.
Karl: You seem educated how did you go to school.
Toria: My father and mother wanted me to be educated so they constantly found were-people who had been passing as normal humans and had them teach mw anything they learned in school.
Issac: I see the fact you have survived this long like that means you must be very intelligent.
Toria: I guess but there wa a lot of people helping me through all the hardships like the pin.
Karl: what is the pin?
Toria: That is what we call the people who attaced us because they always lock my people in cages and take them away when they come, or they just kill them like they did back there.
Issac: I see we call that sleeze ball organization Heaven's Sword from the reearch we have been gathering they have been stealing all sorts of research, conducting eperiments all for some major plan.
Karl: Yeah they have bee bothering a lot more people not just hthe were-people.
Toria: I am aware they have been harrassing others but my own peoples safet is paraount to me.
Karl: I understand. How exactly did thid happen to yor people.
Toria: It has been happening all the way back in my peoples earliest recorded istory man will hunt us simply for being different. Killing us because they feel we do not fit the designed planned. It was always rough but it got much rougher six years ago.
Karl: What happend six years ago?
Toria: Large organizations like religions had hunted us before, but these men they were different they seemed to be hunting us on a much larger scale. They hunted us like like nothing any of us had seen befor. They seemed to know more about us then anyone in ths age should have since my people went into the great hiding about 500 years ago.
Issac: How bad did it get?
Toria: They killed my parents and many others six years ago. They slaughtered and abduted the young and the old without discrimination. I and a few others were left I was only twenty-three but my strength made the others respect me and vote me leader of our group. So then we began to get serious we started raiding buildings and other places to get back at the human world causing a lot of damage to innocent people. I regret this but through these actions I realized that we had to focus our battle on this so called Heaven's Sword. Wepulled all the resourceswe had and declared war on them.We would move from place to place taking down anyone connected to them then moved on to the nexttown when things got rough.

Karl: That sounds rough.
Toria: It was'nt that bad we had each other.(She begins to look awayfrom them emotion fill her eyes)
Issac: It's okay we are here now.
Toria: No it is not okay. It will never be okay until I am able to find others of my kind and help them defeatthe enemy that is the least I can do for my friends.
Karl: We're almost there are'nt we Issac.
Issac: Yeah these are the coordinates he sent us. but there is nothing out here in this swamp.
(A figure wearing a mask flags them down and they park in a nearby shed.)
Toria: Something is off about these surrondings.
Issac: The water here is covered in some kind of weird red stuff.
Jackie: It's Algae. After some poor farming practices three years ago this section of a sugar farm was shut down. The buildings have been invested with vegitation but its still has generators you can fix.
Karl: How far is this place from Clampton?
Jackie: It's about fiften miles out.
Issac: all right pycho where the doctor? You betternot have pulled some more shit with us.
Karl: Is Amanda okay.
Jackie: Yes, she is okay. She is setting up some of the equipment I brought here.
Karl: I got check on her. (He goes to Amanda and hugs her as soon as he sees her.)
Karl: Amanda I'm so glad you are safe. (He rubs the bruise on her face) Thos bastards.
Amanda: It's okay Jackie took care of them.
Karl: I knew he would.
Amanda: Jackie you need to help Jackie.
Karl: I know i am helping him.
Amanda: No I mean you need to help with his menta state.
Karl: What do you mean?
Amanda: He needs a friend Jackie. He really needs a friend. He's in a lot of pain.
(Jackie stands back and looks at Jackie the seemingly autonomous man, while Amanda explains)
(Jackie and Toria are discussing why Jackie sent them to help her, Toria all the while looks mesmerized at Jackie and his equpiment)
Jackie: So that is why I sent them Toria. Your fight against Heaven's Sword is very important to sustaining balance in this world.
Toria: Balance?
Issac: It's that crazy philosophy of his. This guy according to his own words does/'nt believe in good and evil only on maintaing his so called necessary balance.
Toria
looks even more interested I see) Oh Mr. Jones I heard you were a good detective from Karl. Cuuld you help e find some more were-people?
Jackie: There is a group of them being held in a wharehouse just outside of clampton ten miles from her. Heres a key to get in.
Toria: Why do you have a key?
Jackie: I took it from a guy I interrogated. I knew that you would want to help them as soon as you got here. I made some pills in the lab I set up in the the old processing plantright there. They should treat and help your people with the majority of their wounds.
(Toria stands back awe struck at the wy Jackie as just helped her and her people)
Toria: I am indebted to you.
Jackie: No you don't their is plenty enough room for all of you to stay here as long as you want you'll be safe here.
(Jackie is headed towards his motorcycle)
Jackie: Issac there is some new equipment in the plant for you and Karl to upgrade your suits.
Issac: (dumbstruck) Thank..you. I guess he can be a decent human being. He's still an asshole though.
(Jackie picks the bike up when Toria and Karl approach him)
Karl: Where are you going?
Jackie: I have some people to find? UHe cranks the bike about to put a helmet on)
Toria: Wait Jack I owe you a big debt. I will help you find these people.
Jackie: You can't you have to help your people.
Toria: But..

Jackie: You calm down I can't afford to get further invlolved with them I already took a big risk to the plan helping them this much I cant risk any more.

Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV
