The One

A New Earth!

Sorry for taking so long. The IC is up.

A New Earth!

It was a new day, morning came, and the animals were starting to awake while the humans slept. The earth was corrupted, and now uninhabitable. It wouldn't be long before they all died. Pollution is the cause, of course. Humans were the ones who started this. The waters were now filthy and undrinkable. It was lucky to find some drinkable water. The weather was freezing outside, so cold in fight ice was forming on cars, floors and other places. Yet it was in the middle of summer. The world had come to chaos. Nobody could live on this earth anymore. Everyone was panicking, or mostly everyone. Others were committing crimes, spending their last few days alive doing anything they wanted. Some others were calm, trying to find a solution, but it was worthless. They were all doomed unless they found a way off the planet, and onto a more inhabitable planet, but even then, humans will never learn. They will make the same mistake, and now the animals have to pay for it. Some of the animals, even unaware, or just don't care about the world. One of those animals, was Beauty.

Beauty was currently behind a old restaurant, it was a fancy and only for the rich. She hadn't eaten all day, and it was about time she had her meal. She slowly sneaked into the back entrance, and withing a minute, she came out with a whole turkey. She swayed her tail slowly as she looked around, she then jumped over the fence, exiting the alleyway. She quickly began to head for the old abandoned graveyard as she made sure nobody saw her. Once she reached the lock gates, she looked around once again, being very cautious. She closed her eyes, and her markings glowed, which opened the locked gates, when she walked through, the gates closed behind her. She began to walk through the graveyard until she reach the other end, where a small patch of grass laid. She ate her turkey slowly, and once she finished, she took a drink from the pond which was luckily still drinkable. Then she laid herself down on the patchy grass, closing her eyes, she began to drift of to sleep. She knew that this graveyard was abandoned. Nobody had come here in years, so, she was safe or at so she thought.

The gong was sounded, the trumpets were blown, the war drums could be heard. This was the sound of the finals. The tournaments were coming to an end, there were only two fighters left and whoever won would get a tour around the castle, and to meet the princess. Princess Seninia sat with her mother and father beside her, high on top of the arena, there she watched all the battles, and so far, like every single time, every single year, she predicted the winner. It was amazing, she knew who exactly was going to win. There, the crowd cheered and waited for Princess Seninia's decision. Who was going to win? She stood up slowly, and stepped forward. She also had to make a small speech for the two fighters. She really didn't like the tournaments. She hated fighting, violence was never the answer.

"I congratulate you two, Arunkaj and Leo. You have come far in this tournament, you have worked hard, but now the tournament is at an end. I can already see who the winner is. Congratulations Arunkaj, and I am sorry Leo. For many years now, I have been called a miracle child. Ever since I began predicting the fights. These tournaments are no longer what they used to be, it is no longer entertaining, knowing who wins."

She then sat herself down and sighed, and as she did, Leo quickly got angry, in fact, he got so angry, he began to shout and swear at Princess Seninia. Then, he took it one step too far, he threw a knife at her which of coursed was stopped by one of her guards.

"You will pay, you will suffer for what you have done! Tomorrow night, your death will be certain! I will make sure of it! You will regret not making me the winner!"

The King quickly stood up straight after and stared down at Leo. He didn't care if Leo had of won or not, even if he did, he was not to see Princess Seninia now. He had just threatened her life, and that he was not having. Guards quickly rushed in and grabbed Leo, holding him down.

"Leo! You have just decided your fate! You will regret ever threatening Princess Seninia. One man cannot change a thing, especially when they are no longer living! There isn't anyone, who can defeat the Royal Guards. Princess Seninia is perfectly safe, I guarantee that. Guards, take him away!"

He then watched as the guards took him away, he smiled and sat down. Arunkaj was now the winner. Princess Seninia then stood up once more and stepped up, she looked down to Arunkaj with a sigh.

"Congratulations on your win. You will have the honor of meeting me, as well as a personal tour around the castle. You will have your chance to ask any questions to me as you wish. Come back tomorrow at 12:00 to claim you prize money and take your tour."

She sat herself down, and the crowd all cheered. Leo may of died, but at least there was no fighting. She preferred that. She hated when she had to watch the fights, she sighed and then looked up to the sky. She had a bad feeling about all of this.

Princess Seninia and Slade listened to Tygra talk, Princess Seninia sighed, she walked around the room a moment, wondering what to do. It seemed he was going to join the Royal Guards either way. She looked to Slade once more, Tygra was right, he was no fighter, and she had never seen him before, which was a good sign, a very good sign. She smiled for a moment and then looked back to Tygra.

"You really don't get it. Tomorrow you are going to die. I have seen your death. It will happen. Trust me. You do not want to join, because if you do, the army that you will face is unbelievable. It is best that you take your family and run, because tomorrow it will be too late. Sure a challenge is one thing, but going to a battle which cannot be won, no, that is not what a smart and logical person would do. Any normal man would start running, as far from here as possible, and that assassin, if he has been sent here to die, then won't they just hunt him later?"

Slade quickly pulled out a sword and stared at them both, he was not weak, he was not afraid, he was strong, he was a fighter! He would prove that. He ran over and quickly slashed at the princess, this would of certainly killed her but at the last second, he stopped himself, cutting off some of her hair. He fell to his knees and began to cry. He resented the fact that he was weak.

"No. I can't do it. I'm weak. How can I trust you? Nobody can be trusted in this world. If I leave, they will find me and kill me anyway. They sent me to do a mission. They would never send me to die! They wouldn't do that! I'm strong, and a good thief. They need me. I'm not afraid, I was just waiting for a time to strike. Don't talk to me like I'm a friend! I can train myself, I don't need liars to like you. If I was a kind person, then I would of never have become an assassin. A assassin kills in cold blood, without hesitation. If you don't kill me, then you will simply use me. I can't trust you, I can't trust anyone."

He stood up and then looked around, he slowly looked down and stepped back to the balcony. He quickly jumped off and ran away, he had no other choice, he couldn't trust them no matter what. Princess Seninia sighed and then slowly walked away.

"He will be back. I know it. I have a bad feeling, if you really want to stay, if you want to die, then feel free to talk to dad."

She sighed, and continued to walk away, she went into her room and into her bed. It was late, and she needed sleep for tomorrow morning. After all, it wouldn't be too long before the army comes. She closed her eyes and soon drifted off.

Meanwhile, way past the mountains, to a far off volcano, there was something stirring. It was a secret entrance just underground leading underneath the surface of the mountain. It was there that stood the leader of the assassins. He watched a screen which foretold of all the members of the guild, those who were out, and those who were in. He saw that two of the assassins had died, and the one he had sent off was still alive, probably running away. He smashed his fist int a table as he screamed.

"Dammit all to hell! How hard can it possibly be to take on the Royal Guards and bring me one princess? That's it! I've had with that god damn princess!"

He then pressed a button which activated an alarm, suddenly, an army of two hundred thousand armored suits suddenly came, shaking the entire mountain as they did.

"Go! Bring me the princess, and kill everyone else! I will make sure you will have some help."

The armored suits were so advanced, that they were mind linked, as well as making no sound whatsoever from they weight. Suddenly, the floor began to rise. And suddenly, the armored suits were on the surface. It was then when they began to silently march towards the castle.

The next morning, the princess woke up early. She looked around to see the castle was still ok. Luckily it seemed they still had time. She got out of bed and walked out the door, only to see Slade talking to Tygra.

"You have to go now, you never guess what I saw when I was gone, it was unbelievable. If you stay, you have no chance of surviving. You don't have long, and explaining will take too much time. Leave now, you are all in danger!"

He looked at the princess with a worried look, he didn't know why he was helping them, but it was the least he could do, since they let him live.

Suddenly all the swords and stars transformed into anaconda's, but as they did, Fang was struck by the arrows, killing her in the process. The swords and stars all disappeared except for the originals. Now, only one assassin remained, Slade, who was still against the wall, he had been watching the entire thing. If they couldn't handle these two guards, then who could? He stood there, shivering. He was trapped. Princess Seninia came walking through the doors again, she looked around, then saw Rex's leg. It looked bad, almost the entire leg was now dark purple. She ran up to him and sat down.

"Wow, wh-what happened? This looks really bad! The assassins, they're all dead now. Thank you Tygra for saving me, but, you really shouldn't of."

She sighed and stood up. Moments later the King and Queen ran in, they hugged Princess Seninia and looked towards Rex, The King slowly approached Rex slowly, his expression wasn't a good one at all.

"So, let me get this straight, all my Royal Guards, which were meant to be protecting my only daughter, are dead, except one which looks like he just got of bed who now has a broken, and what looks to be a dangerously infected leg which could do anything! Tygra, I assume you are the one which saved my daughter? I owe you much more than two hundred grand and a tour now. I was considering of letting you join my Royal Guards before, but now, well now I have made up my mind. I understand the situation with your family, this will give you plenty of money to live by. After all I pay well. Extra to those who actually do their job. Don't make a decision right away, come think about it and come see me and my wife later. Thank you. Rex, come with me. You'll have to spend the rest of the night in bed until we get somebody to look at that leg of yours."

With that he gave him a check of two hundred thousand, then he left, taking Rex to his bedroom to rest, and leaving Princess Seninia alone with Tygra. Princess Seninia looked to Tygra and sighed, she was hoping she wouldn't come, but, she had seen this coming long before it happened. She walked to the balcony and stood there, she knew this wasn't the end.

"You do know, that you can't join the Royal Guards. You just can't. I won't let you. It doesn't matter what you did, in fact, it just made it much worse. You got what came for, now leave! You and you're family can live of the money you just got, don't be greedy. I won't allow you to kill yourself! If you join the Royal Guards, you will regret it. You don't know what's coming, but I do, I always know. Don't be an idiot!"

She now got up in his face, but as she did, she cried a tear, she then stopped, she turned around, to see the only assassin left, hiding in the shadows. She had never seen him before, he was hidden so well, it was practically impossible to notice him.

"There is still another one? Is he dangerous? I hope so."

She slowly walked up to him and knelled down, she placed a hand on Slade's, then smiled calmly. Slade simply stared, he looked down for a moment, and then pulled a dagger out of his utility belt. He looked up to the princess, now very confused, he had a perfect chance to kill her.

"Why? Who are you? Why don't you kill me?"

He looked to Tygra and armed himself, thinking it was some kind of trap. He was trapped, against the wall, no escape. He was dead either way. There was nothing he could do. He sighed, and simply dropped the dagger.

"Just kill me. You were going to do it anyway. After all, I am just another assassin. I'm no different."

He sighed and simply waited for Tygra to finish him off, as she did, Princess Seninia looked to him, seeing what he would do now.

Fang grabbed the incoming star, and repaired it using her darkness power, the other Fang grabbed the sword, and then the last Fang grabbed his foot. Each one then began to pour dark energy into the objects. Each one would quickly become a dark purple color. Once she had injected the darkness into Rex, she snapped his leg and thew him to the side. The two fangs then threw the sword and star, multiplying it by a hundred. Each one coming straight for Rex.

"What happened to, 'Doen't worry about me, there ain't nothing in this world that's a challenge for me. Especially some weak ass assassin?' After all, you seem to be struggling."

She laughed and disappeared into the darkness again. She didn't care if he brother had just died, the only thing that mattered was the mission. She came up in front of Tygra, then pulled down her mask. She dislocated her jaw and screamed in his face, showing her two set of teeth.

"Dinner time!"

She quickly cloned herself once more, so she was surrounding him completely, then each one went to bite him. As she did this, guards armed themselves with bow and arrows, and began to fire towards Tygra.

Fang quickly grabbed Rex's leg with her kuni star and then flung him back down to the ground. She laughed, it seemed she had some old friends, she stepped forward as she raised all the guards which had been killed. Except for the headless guard. She then summoned them to her, until they all stood their ground around the room. She laughed evilly, ignoring Tygra's comment beforehand.

"You really don't know who you're messing with, don't you? Well, let me show you!"

She roared loudly and suddenly she sunk into the shadows of one of the guards. Suddenly, she rose up and threw her Kuni star at Tygra, but the moment after, she came up again from a different shadow, throwing another star, finally, a third copy threw another star, the one going for Tygra, one for Rex and one for the princess. It seemed she was using the shadows to travel. Then Flash stepped up.

"That isn't all. We're no ordinary assassins. We all have powers."

He then teleported behind Tygra, and then went to grab his arms to twist them, this would make him drop all his weapons as he held them against his back. Another copy of him teleported behind Rex, then the princess, doing the same thing. Next but not least was Slade. He simply stood there, not saying a word, and covering his face under his hood, he had no idea what to do, he felt so left out. He had no powers, he was, just weak. He wasn't even sure why he was sent to such a dangerous mission. Slade simply stepped back until his back hit the wall, simply watching for now.
