Vengeance, I'm trying my hand at this thing Options

[Soulseeker3.0]

Well yeah, I got bored one day and started writing this up... I think i'm going pretty strong. My only downfall is I can't type so, if you like it there might be some delaye in the later updates, have fun.

Oh and this is fairly short... I don't havbe the patience to sit and type three paragraphs like Trey does (that is a weird compliment to you guys who type that much)

INTRODUCTION

Ty awoke to a low thundering noise and looked out his window to see dirt and dust billowing up on the horizon. Ty rubbed his eyes to look again and his mother burst into the room looking around frantically. Ty glanced out the window to see dark figures on the horizon take shape.

“Hey mommy what’s-”

“Hurry dear, come here.”

His mom pulled Ty through the house and Ty was starting to get scared. “Mommy, were is dadda? I’m scared.” Ty started crying and his mom picked him up. “Its okay, daddy’s with all the other men and they are going to protect us.”

“The peoples in black?”

“Yes, so we are going to be really quiet and hide.” Ty started to stop crying and nodded.

Ty’s mom took him to the basement wee they hid under a blanket waiting, just sitting there waiting. Waiting for Ty’s dad to call down the stairs. Ty laid there in his mother’s lap for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually he heard the door open, but something didn’t feel right. The sounds were rough and the smell was horrible. Ty peeked out of a hole in the rugged blanket and saw a group of men looking around.

Ty gasped and one of the men turned his head in Ty’s direction. The man moved closer and Ty grabbed his mother, who was trying to comfort him. The man’s hand seemed to hover over the blanket and the blanket was wrenched off and the man grunted, a signal to his comrades. Ty looked from his mom to the man and his mom was shaking her head and the men were smiling.

One of the men tore Ty away while the other two held her back. The one man looked over Ty and the only thing he said was “not worth it” and he threw Ty across the room. Ty hit his head on the wall and started to lose consciousness. He heard his mom scream and the men laugh. “No! Get off! Get off!” But the only answer was more laughter and Ty blacked out completely.

---Well the next update might throw you off but if you think about it, it should make since. Cheers

Heh, wow, two updates within a month of each other??? its a sign of the apocalypse yeah, i didn't want to leave you guys hanging to long... i'm not that mean. and yes, i know there is a lot of dialog... get used to it

but anywho, here ya go
-------------------------------------------------
The man on Ty’s right slapped his hand on Ty’s back, “Hail friend!”

The other lifted his mug to Ty, “yeah, how ya doin’?”

Ty looked from his mug to the guy on his right to the guy on his left, “Meh, doing good enough.”

The two men looked at each other and smiled and the one on the right spoke up, “Well, my name’s Jack.”

“An’ I’m Jake.”

“Well… nice to meet ‘cha I guess. My name’s Ty.”

“Yeah, well, it’s nice to meet you as well.” Jack allowed a slight smile to creep onto his face as he looked over Ty.

Jake looked into his mug and smiled, “Yeah, so… how about a drink for our new comrade?”

Ty held his mug upside down indicating it was empty. “Well, that is what I came here for… well, seeing as there are no rooms to sleep in I might as well.”

Jack let a deep friendly laugh emerge from his gut, “Aye, well, looks like you ended up being in the right place at the right time.”

Jake waved down the bartender, “Could you just leave a pitcher here Max?”

The bartender rolled his eyes and took Jake’s money and left a pitcher full of the same grog Ty’s been drinking all night on the bar within arm’s reach.

Ty rose is eyebrow suspiciously but didn’t get any farther, seeing as though his mug was promptly filled.

A few candle marks later, Jack and Jake were ‘helping’ they’re new friend Ty out the back door into the side alley.

Jack and Jake threw Ty’s limp body to the ground into a muddy puddle, causing rats to scatter away from the falling water.

“Humph, took the honoured user long enough.” Jack spat on Ty as he rustled through Ty’s cloak looking for his money pouch.

“Yeah, tell me about it.” Jake started taking off Ty’s cuirass and lifted it into the dim light to try and estimate how much they could get for it.

Jack smiled and turned to Jake, “Man, I never get tired of this job. The people ‘round here seem to get dumber and dumber.”

Jake chuckled in agreement, “yeah, it’s brilliant ain’t it? Well, this stuff should fetch us a pretty penny. I mean, look at this stuff, excellent quality and this sword has better balance then we normally come across.”

“I dunno Jake, this looks one of a kind, and it might be hard to find a fence that’d be stupid enough to buy all this stuff. Even if they were stupid enough to place the deal, it might be a low sell just because of the fact. We might as well keep it for ourselves, sometimes things do get hairy and I’ve been needing an upgrade from this bloody saber.” Jack unsheathed his blade to reveal a rather old but well kept saber.

Jake stopped pilfering long enough to inspect a piece, “well, I see what you mean. And you do need a new weapon. That one doesn’t have the edge it used to.”

Jack bent over to pick up Ty’s rut sack, “I dunno, well, let’s get all this and get out of here. I don’t want to-”

“I thought I told you two not to show your faces around here again. Now get your asses moving before we have a repeat performance of last time.”

The two thieves dropped what they were handling and looked up at the voice, which came from a figure sitting on the tavern roof above them.

“One,” The figure reached into its pocket and flung a dagger down at the two. A glint of light was all that they could see before the dagger was sticking out of the ground right in front of Jack.

“Okay, OKAY! We’re out of here! Won’t happen again, Miss!” Jack and Jake bolted from the alley, leaving their payday behind.

The figure laughed at the sound of the two fleeing as it jumped off the roof and softly landed on the ground near Ty, wrenching her dagger out of the ground.

“Well, let’s see what we have here.” The figure picked up the discarded rut sack and started rustling through it when a wave of familiarity washed over her. The figure slowly turned around and rolled Ty over with her foot so she could see his face.

“Wow, are you always getting into trouble? Humph, I’d hate to see your home.” The Rogue chuckled at her own joke and let a shrill whistle pierce the air, cutting through the noise produced by all of the surrounding taverns. Moments later a small rag-tag group swarmed the alley. After everyone was there, a big brute spoke up.

“What ‘cha want us to do Miss?”

“Well, you can pick him up, everyone else? Gather all the things scattered over around his body, chances are, whatever it is, it’s his. We’re calling it a night.”

A slim girl with red short hair and two curved blades arched across her back spoke up, “So’s, dat mean…”

The Rogue slightly pursed her lips, “yeah, we’re taking him back with us.”

The group just stood there and looked at each other, seeing who’ll make the first move.

The Rogue rolled her eyes, “Oh come off it guys! If anything, I’ll get compassion from Blaine and you know it.”

Eventually the brute bent over and threw Ty over his shoulder as if it were a sack of potatoes.

“Thank you Dozer.”

“Yeah, uh, let’s just get home. Hungry.”

One by one the rest of the group collected the items that the would-be thieves discarded.

A slim robed man walked over to Dozer after picking up Ty’s cuirass and muttered with a slight smirk, “You’re a big push over ya know? I have a feeling in my gut that this won’t turn out to well for us.”

“Come on Jonas, you’re always feeling something or another.”

“This time’s different, I’m positive this won’t turn out well.”

“Oh well, it’s already done, only one way to find out if your ‘feeling’ has any truth. Lets head back, the rest of the group’s comin’.”

Jonas sighed and shook his head. “Fine, I’m slightly hungry as well.”

Dozer and Jonas waited for the rest of the group to catch up and then the all headed back to the base in a foreboding mood.

The Rouge followed the group at a slight distance, unaffected by the aura, she was already pondering what will have to happen next, and was preparing for the argument ahead.
