Final Heaven X - Engagement 1: Angel's Prey

2008-11-02T07:29:00.000-08:00

“Where am I?” a teenage boy questioned himself. Standing on a patch of flowers, he continued to wonder, as the wind brushed against his short red hair. Having an ordinary appearance, just any normal boy you would see. At an average height, he could see someone approaching him amongst the blurry image. Mounting a white elegant horse, a man with notable dark hair arrived right in front of Setsuya.

The man on the horse smiled broadly at Setsuya. Realizing, Setsuya pointed at him, exclaming, “Ryou Takehito!”

It is no wonder why Setsuya was so surprised to see his friend on the horse.

Without a second thought, Ryou carried Setsuya and said, “I’ve come to rescue you, my love.”

Setsuya was shocked. Trying to free himself, Ryou still managed to steady his grip on him, “Let us return to the castle, where we would be adjoin.”

“NO! LEMME GO! NOOOOOO!” Setsuya immediately woke up, panting. He was at relief, finding himself on his own bed. It was a dream all along… an embarrassing dream that almost made Setsuya regurgitate.

“Why am I having this freaking dream?” moaned Setsuya as he supported his forehead with his left hand. “Ouch, my back! It’s getting more painful than before! Damn it! This is probably the worst night I’ve had in my life.”

Ryou Takehito proudly presents:

Final Heaven X

Engagement 1: Angel’s Prey

A dark figure kneeled on the long green carpet, stretching from the grand door to the throne. The immensely enormous hall was rather empty, nothing but the altar and the row of candles around the path to it.

“My dark lord, I believe the time is approaching,” said the dark figure after paying his respects.

“Excellent.” The dark lord continued, “Keep a close watch on him, they may be after him as well.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Good morning, Set!” greeted a bright boy as Setsuya entered the classroom. “Are you alright?”

Still feeling the pain from his back, Setsuya answered, “I dunno. I don’t think I feel better. My back pain is getting worse by the day.”

“Maybe you’re getting old, hahahaha!” his friend laughed at him.

“You should see a doctor, Set,” suggested another friend of his. “You can’t just ignore it, hoping that it’ll cure on its own.”

“Argh… But I really hate going to the hospital. I guess I have no choice,” said Setsuya reluctantly. At that instant, Setsuya’s eyes met Ryou’s, who was sitting on his seat staring at Setsuya.

Recalling the dream he had last night, Setsuya blushed. His friend asked, “Your face is blushing red, Set! I think you’ve got a fever too. You seriously need to see a doc.”

“I don’t have a fever! I’m just feeling hot. Hahahahaha!” Setsuya tried to laugh his way out of embarassement. “Why do I have to remember that dream?”

Class started normally. As usual, Setsuya noticed Ryou sleeping through the teaching. How could a person who had always slept through his lessons be the top student in the school? Again the pain surged causing Setsuya to yelp in pain.

“Is something wrong with you, Setsuya?” asked the teacher.

“Sensei!” a hand rose among the students. “May I take Setsuya to the infirmary?”

“Yea, please do, Sana,”

“C ‘mon. Let’s go!” Sana pulled Setsuya up, who felt hesitation to do so.

“Ow! Ow! Ow! You don’t have to pull me so hard! My back still hurts you know? OW!” Setsuya complained.

“You need to see a doctor immediately!” Sana said, her voice rising.

“Eh… Sana, you know I don’t like to see doctor…” said Setsuya in a low-tone voice.

“YOU MUST DEFINITELY SEE A DOCTOR TODAY!” threatened the blond pony tailed girl grabbing a scapel from the desk pointing at Setsuya’s neck. “You have been having that pain for more than two weeks! Don’t you know it’s sad for your girlfriend to see you in pain?”

“I’m sorry, Sana,” apologised Setsuya recovering from his surprised state. “I didn’t know it bothers you so much.”

Sana lowering her hands, almost crying, “It does. Set. It does.”

“Okay! I’ll go see a doctor after school!” said Setsuya cheerfully.

“Really?” said Sana, who’s still doubtful about Setsuya’s words.

“It’s a promise!” smiled Setsuya broadly.

“Sir, please look at this energy reaction! It’s getting stronger and stronger!”

“I guess it’s time. We shall initiate our plans. Order them to take action!”

“Yes sir. Right away, sir!”

School has ended and as Setsuya was going to leave the classroom he noticed Ryou was still sleeping, his face buried in his arms. Looking at the hopeless Ryou, Setsuya sighed and was about to leave the classroom until two of his friends held him back.

“Hey Set! I know a good place where you can pay for a low price!” said one of his friends.

“Why don’t we go together, Set? You’ll definitely like the doc! He’s the best around that area!” suggested another of his friends.

“Sure, why not?” Setsuya accepted their suggestions.

When Setsuya was leaving the classroom with his friends, Ryou peeked at Setsuya while pretending to be asleep.

“Hey! Where are we? This is just a plain bare wall! I don’t see any door to a clinic or a doctor here,” Setsuya whined as he approached the corner of the dark street. “HEY!?”

“Muahahahaha!” a friend of his suddenly burst into laughter.

“What’s going on?” asked Setsuya.

“We’d led you here on purpose, that is to capture you,” one of them explained.

‘What the hell are you talking about?” asked Setsuya, confused. “You guys cracked your heads or something?”

Setsuya, being cornered, witnessed an unusual scene; both of them unleashed a pair wings from their back.

“We’re angels dispatch from the heavens.”

“Angels? What do the angels want with me?” asked Setsuya, still stunned after learning his friends’ secret. However the pain behind his back is at it worst that the angels’ appearances didn’t surprise him that much.

“Hahaha! We’re going to extract your powers so we can use your powers for our weapons. Now, come with us!” said the angel.

“You guys are too noisy,” Setsuya answered violently. The pain was too much for him. “Leave me alone!”

“Come!”

When the angel was about to grab Setsuya, he shouted loundly, “LEAVE ME ALONE!”

All of a sudden, a bright expanding sphere emerges out of Setsuya, swallowing the angels immediately, destroying even their souls. Right after that, Setsuya fell unconscious.

Alerted by the occurrence, the commander smashed a glass panel and pushed a large red button, sounding a loud alarm at the base of operations. Right after that, a resonance results off in the area, freezing time on the world itself. The soldiers begin to mobilize and stationed themselves in various places over the location.

“His powers have fully awakened,” the commander announced. “Proceed to capture the target at instant.”

“Ugh… What happened?” Setsuya tried to stand up, just recovering his consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a dark tall figure holding Ryou by the neck, just like a rag doll. Ryou remains motionless in its clutch.

“What are you doing to Ryou?” asked Setsuya still in a blurred state…

STAB!

The man stabbed Ryou in his chest with his long fingernails of a foot long, growing out of his right hand. Slowly pulling his fingernails out of the body, he threw Ryou to the ground and left the place.

Left in shocked, Setsuya quickly went to Ryou’s side and said in a shaky voice, “Why is this happening?”

Assuming that Ryou can still be saved, he carried his bloody body on his back and left the place. Setsuya screamed at the top of his lungs, asking for help but no one seems to care about it at all - or rather the people are not moving at all.

“What the heck is wrong with these people?” He tried to shake one of the strangers on the street but he can’t even move an inch– he’s as solid as a stone statue.

“What about Sana?” he thought. ‘Don’t tell me she’s frozen solid too!” Setsuya apologised to Ryou as he drop his body on the ground and hurried back to the school.

Back in the school, Setsuya searched throughout the place for Sana and found her in their classroom. She was standing next to window holding a book. Setsuya couldn’t believe it – Sana just stood there not moving at all, mesmerized by her beauty. Literally dragging himself in despair, he approached Sana silently, his eyes almost filled with tears. Slowly raising his hand, he placed it on her face. Stroking her gently, he drew closer, and placed his lips over hers.

(Insert Song: ‘Kryptonite Smokes’ by Weiβ kreuz)

Suddenly a bright light shined upon both of them. The sound of a helicopter hovering can be heard outside the windows. Breaking off, he peered outside; he saw groups of soldiers armed with their guns assembling in the school compound. He could hear the captain, who was wearing a gas mask over his face, giving a final order to the men.

“Corner and suppress the target immediately. Capture him at all costs.”

Soon he remembered everything – the angels are after him! The only option for him now is to escape. Without decline, he quickly ran out of the classroom, after giving Sana a final goodbye. As he reached the ground floor, he found his path blocked by the soldiers. Unable to get pass the soldiers, he tried the back door but it was useless. With no option left, he had to use the alternate secret route he'd know for a long time out of the school.

Setsuya went back and ran onto the third floor. He approached a window and opened it, jumping onto one of the nearby trees. However not long after that, a helicopter circling around the forest flew by. Spotting Setsuya, the pursuit is on again. Somehow, he lost them after running a minute or so in the trees.

Setsuya thought he would be safer when he reached the town’s streets, until he saw angels and tanks patrolling around. It was only a moment later he was detected by the enemy forces again. He had to dash through corners of the streets to make his escape – the angels are definitely going after him. This time, they were well-equipped and backed up sufficiently, not letting Setsuya off their sensors.

Right after he ran about a corner, a large robot landed in front of him. He couldn’t turn back and run because of the large amount of angels behind him. Just as he thought that would be the end of the line for him, a dark figure suddenly appeared right above the towering machine. Twisting in the air gracefully, he gave one long slash at the core, then reappearing in front of Setsuya. As soon as the robot exploded the man grabbed Setsuya’s hands and said, “If you do not want to die, follow me.”

It didn’t take long for him to realize that the man who had saved him was the person who had killed Ryou.

“Why did you kill my friend?” asked Setsuya stubbornly while shaking his arm of the man’s clasp.

The man ignored his question and continued, “Do you want to be captured by the angels, or follow me?”

After experiencing so many events, Setsuya was very confused and could not think rationally. As if breaking down mentally, he screamed out loudly and agreed to follow him. “Arghhhhhhhh! Dammit!!”

With the man by his side, they continued running. Eventually more and more of the angel’s machine were on their tail. As any of them nears the fleeing couple, the man would just give a short slash with his fingernails, sending the metal amours in pieces. Eventually, a dark portal came into sight. The man gave Setsuya a signal to enter it. They made a final dash towards the tunnel. They were immediately transferred to another place, a safe place. Right after they entered, the portal closes, leaving the angels by their masses.

(Song Ends)

“Why the hell are they after me!? And who are you!?” asked Setsuya, while panting facing downwards on the floor.

“They were after you, because you’re the Forsaken Angel.”

“What do you mean by I’m the Forsaken Angel?” Setsuya continued to ask, trying to clear his doubts.

“You’re the creator of the world.”

TO BE CONCLUDED…?

(Ending Song: ‘Shout and Bites’ by ‘Versailles’)

The entwined roses’ thorns stab the black god of death and laugh

Underneath the clock of the sunken moon, there is the sweet smell of blood

The wavering mayflies stand still, as if they’re petrified

Who is this god of death, who handed those people the pretty medicine they wished for?

I’ll shout the curse of destruction

Shout & Bites

So pretty that it’s dirty

Shout & Bites

To the top of the pale collarbones

The entwined roses’ thorns stab the black god of death and laugh

The entwined roses’ poison soaks in Ah… I can’t sleep

Shout & Bites

So pretty that it’s dirty

Shout & Bites

To the top of the pale collarbones

The entwined roses’ thorns stab the black god of death and laugh

The entwined roses’ poison soaks in Ah… I can’t sleep

The entwined roses’

The entwined roses’ thorns stab the black god of death and laugh

The entwined roses’ poison soaks in Ah… I can’t sleep

Author’s Notes:

After five years of planning and rewriting the story, I present to you Final Heaven X. You can’t believe how much effort I’ve put into writing this great piece of story. Why did the man kill Ryou? Why are the angels so desperately after Setsuya? Why did the man say Setsuya is the creator of the world? What will happen to the world? What is Setsuya real identity? Some of your doubts will be revealed in the next engagement. I believe many of you have read my journal that this will be my last story before going for a long hiatus. But I promise I’ll write the second chapter as soon as I can, after I have finalized the second chapter. Nonetheless this is only an appetizer for the story. Expect an epic tale from this story!

I would like to give some of my special thanks to those who have supported Final Heaven X over these years. Without them, this first chapter would not have been perfectly planned out as I have expected it too.

Special Thanks to:

Haz1 – for supporting my story all these years and comment how great this story is.

Ashley – for reading it and being the one and only friend who read through my other stories.

Takuya – for saying this story has a great plot which have keep me from continuing writing this story. Also thanks for editing this story for me. =)

Starfire Syne – for reading this piece of story.

Rinoa – for supporting me by reading my stories.

Weib kreuz – for all those great songs which have inspired a lot of ideas to make this great story. Expect more insert songs from them! *chuckles*

And those who have read this story! Thank you very much! Looking forward to the next engagement! Until next time! Bye bye!

Editor’s Note:

*laughs*

If I hadn’t oversleep this story would have been posted hours ago XD. Anyway, indeed this story had been planned a long time ago. Years ago, I remember Takehito laying his ideas out to me, saying that this will be a very grand story. Being someone who edits the story, I honestly couldn’t express my own views on the story. Well, I could say its worthwhile reading. Indeed it’s a great deal of suspense as you wonder about the military based ‘angels’ and the unknown person who had both hurt and saved Setsuya. Anyway, I’ve got loads of stuff to do. Signing off.

*chuckles*

Oh by the way, don’t confuse yourself with the author’s name and the name of the dead guy. *winks*

Ladies and Gentleman! I'm very proud to present to you Final Heaven X!

Sypnosis:

However his life turns upside-down when one day angels from the Heaven are trying to capture him and make a bio-weapon out of him!

Ryou's Journal

2007-09-11T19:11:00.000-07:00

Hi all!

Ryou here. As you all have already noticed, I've added a new link called 'Ryou's Journal' where it links to my personal journal so you all can take notice of my current situation and the progress of my story. Of course when this site has more writers I'll add their journals too if they wish too.

Cheers!

Old Stories New Site!

2007-08-31T14:28:00.000-07:00

I'm currently posting up two stories: Ryou's "Valentine's Rain" and Takuya's "Ano Toki no Kioku". No new stories updates and I apologise that I'm using the old layout style for the stories but I'll promise I'll get the new layout design done as soon as possible. Anyways here's the sypnosis for both of the stories:

Sypnosis for Valentine's Rain
It was valentine's day and it's time for Akura to confess to her love! But before she could, she found that her dad's watch was missing! Is the watch more important to her or the confession?

Sypnosis for Ano Toki no Kioku
Nagao Toshio, an 18 year old boy is a Senior High 1 student in Musashi High School. Even though talented as a sportsman, he does not have a knack for recalling memories. Let it be a lesson a teacher just gave half an hour ago, or the events that had happened when he was younger. This year, he has returned to Japan, starting anew. Unable to remember his younger days, he revisited the place he’d grown up in, reunited with his friends. A certain girl remained to be a mist in his only memory. The happy feelings he felt and the sad feelings that gave him a heart throb. Will he be able to successfully recall his past? A journey of love and friendship remains unfolded in front of him.

On the mean time, I'll try to get the FAQ page done and the policy so freelance writers can join this site. Again after I've published lots of stories I will switch this site to a domain instead of using this blog.

Looking forward to serve you all again!
