Though this story isn't exactly a "fan fiction," it is a small story I'm writing. I assume it would be appropriate to post it here. I currently have 14 episodes done, but I shall post but one a day.
Our story takes place 1000 years from now, but the Legend takes place while we speak. Through me, you shall hear the stories that surround a planet far off, in the exact opposite area of the great sphere of the universe. The planet called Syphopia, of which the animals much resemble our own. A planet where humans are the main life forms, but with 1 big difference. Cabinets in their bodies can be focused to expel gasses from their bodies, gasses that create what they know as “the elements.” Fire, Water, Volt and Ice, the basic elements, are normally mastered at the age of 13. As time goes on, the gasses can be focused to form new elements, some of which will not be discovered for thousands of years. Before we jump 1000 years into the future of this planet, let’s see what’s going on this very second.
The Legend of Steel Blade
Episode 1: Karr and Garth
Only in 2nd grade, a hero is soon to be realized. Nick Harpman, or as he’ll soon be known, the legendary Steel Blade. He was alone in the park with his family. At such a young age, he was the only kid there to have mastered the element of fire. It’s a good thing, too, because evil lurked around the corner. Gas bars surrounded and sublimated to form prisons for the adults. From seemingly nowhere, a vile fiend known as Gaezman came forth. He was pure gas in humanoid form with deep black eyes. He tortured young kids for his own amusement, the sick *******. All the kids were helpless, as they had not mastered any of their powers yet. One, as you know, had, however. Very bravely for his age, Steel Blade showered the monster with balls of fire, destroying him and his hardened bars. At such a young age, he was already considered a hero. After that, he got recruited into the team known as the Super Team, or STeam. There, he was trained hard, surpassed everyone, and when he turned 12, was allowed to go out on his own to save Syphopia.
1000 years later. Steel Blade is a legend for all his missions, and his sword is on display in a museum, located in the mountain-filled region known as Infron. Not far from the museum is a school, where a new year is about to begin. Busy enough as he was, Geralm Tang moved there for a new job with more hours and pay. His wife Julia and son Karr moved there with him, of course. Karr, 16 years old, is soon to start the new school year at that school. These days, combat is considered a sport. There are belts that create a barrier on the person, which only makes sure no bones are broken, organs crushed or deaths come about. The barrier is skin tight to make sure the fighters can still feel pain. All weapons get teleported through the barrier, but the person still feels their effect. It’s a perfectly safe sport that hurts like hell, perfect! When enough damage is dealt, the loser will glow red and the winner will glow blue. In a draw, they both grow yellow. Combat class is an elective at most schools, and Karr’s decided to take it this year.
“Karr! Wake up, sweety! It’s your first day of school!” As much as his mom called him to come down, he just slept on. “KARR! GET YOUR SORRY *** DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!” He still slept. She always had to do “it” on the first day of school. She walked up to her son’s room, 5’8”, her short brown hair neatly combed down, a blue suit on, a ball of volt resting in her right hand. She threw it at her son, shocking him enough to get him right out of bed, half nudity and all. 5’11”, short black hair currently a mess, lines under his eyes so visible it looks like someone drew on them with sharpie.
“Wha?” he said, half asleep inside but awake as ever outside. “School, who? Ahh…” He thought for a second. “School!” His mom threw some clothes and a towel at him.
“Shower, get dressed, grab your backpack and get the hell downstairs. We’re running it close as it is.”
“Yes mom, of course.” He quickly showered and changed. Double checking his backpack one final time, he ran downstairs in a black shirt with flames on it and wearing black jeans. His hair was no longer a mess, but neatly spiked up. His eyes still had some lines under it, but it’s 6:30 in the morning, what’d you expect? He ran outside just in time to make it to the bus and was off to his first day at a new school.
“Read page 25-36 tonight as homework,” Mr. Ure said just as the bell rang. Math, check. Science, check. Next class was Combat! Karr excitedly rushed to the combat room. There were rooms there that could generate full on arenas when turned on. Combat Belts lined the walls, each with their own patterns. A list of all known elements were on a chart on one wall. The teacher was a tall female with long blonde hair. She wore a deep blue shirt and blue jeans, both very tight to allow for mobility. Karr would’ve liked the shirt to be a little less tight. More students piled in as the bell rang.
“Good morning class,” the teacher said. “Welcome to day 1 of Combat Class. I’ll be your teacher for the year, Mrs. Peterson. Throughout the year I will be teaching you how to fight efficiently in all situations. If you start to cry, you will face me. If you get too cocky, you will face me. If you goof around, you will face me. If you don’t do your homework, YOU WILL FACE ME! I will not hold back, I will set our life to the highest possible, and I will use my most painful moves on you. Why? Because I have permission to do so! IS THAT CLEAR?!?!” Scared half to death, the class replied in unison.
“Yes ma’am. Perfectly clear.” They all said the same thing because those exact words were written on the blackboard. The most fun class with the single meanest teacher in the school. Damn I wish I were in this story. After some time making sure everyone knew the basic elements, Mrs. Peterson wanted to see how everyone fought. They were randomly assigned pairs for the battle. Karr was teamed up with Garth Jeroman. He was a little shorter than Karr with long blonde hair doing down over his face. He wore a plain gray shirt and blue jeans.
“You will all begin with a random arena,” Mrs. Peterson told them. “Later this week you’ll be getting a manual with all the arenas in it, and after that you may choose. But until then, it’s random. You’re being recorded, so don’t hold back. Begin when your arena tells you to.” Karr’s arena formed around him. Both him and Garth were standing on rock pillars with cliffs on all sides and sharp rocks in a body of water under them. The arena said simply.
“Go.”
The belts flashed on and Garth made the first move. He shot from his hands at the bottom of the rock below Karr a beam of fire. Seeing that the rock was about to melt, Karr jumped off and grabbed onto the cliff behind him. He shot a stream of water at Garth, causing him to lose his balance. He fell off, landing hard on a flat rock beneath him. Taking advantage of his foe’s pain, Karr shot a jet of ice at him. Never had he seen an ice attack that powerful. However, he had mastered a move perfect for countering it.
“Unleash Light Barrier!” By screaming this, Garth had formed a shield of the light element, one that could reflect any move that was dark or cold. Ice is cold. The huge blast was reflected right back. Before it hit, Karr shot 2 more streams out, one of fire and one of volt. They hit each other right on the flat rock underneath Garth. The ice reflection then hit. Garth went flying, Karr went plummeting. If Karr hit the shallow water at this speed, he’d lose all his life. If Garth hit the cliff behind himself at his speed, he’d lose. It was all down to luck and time, and Karr was the one who was going to lose.
“AAGGHH!” He screamed as he got very near the water. His hands were pointed downward. Garth was confused, what was he up to? Turning his feet straight down, Karr hit the water… but it was solid. His fall was broken by a strip of ice that had somehow appeared. He then crashed through, taking almost no damage.
“HOW?!” Garth yelled as he went crashing into the wall. The students who had already finished, the teacher, and himself were all wondering how Karr pulled it off. It was warm water, an invisible ice stream would be too weak to freeze over the entire body of water. The remnants from his older ice attack couldn’t pull that off either. His victory itself seemed near impossible to happen, but there it was, laid out, possible, happened. The arena faded away and the 2 of them stepped out.
“Amazing,” Mrs. Peterson said. “Don’t let this go to your head, but how did you pull that amazing feat off? It doesn’t make sense!”
“A man’s gotta have secrets, ma’am,” Karr replied, smiling. Given the assignment to do some tests to find their best element as homework, the class was dismissed. It was time for lunch, and another life changing event for Karr.
