CHAPTER 01
The Void of Fearsome
KHAOS ASSEMBLY:
A figure stepped out of a portal, onto a huge oval room the size of a football field. The room was all black, although it was dimly lit by lights hanging from the ceiling. Two columns of identical black marble pillars were placed from the back of the room to the front. A wide red carpet spread across the same direction. Each side of the room was filled with many frames- each contain a portal that led to places from different planets or galaxies. At the front of the room, a huge couch was rooted high above the floor. On the couch, the most prominent being in the universe sat on it, Khaos. When you looked at her, you could see different objects in space. The stars, planets, galaxies, the whole nine. To summarize the whole place, imagine the place as a coliseum where portals replaced the spectators around the side, black marble flooring and red carpet instead of blood and sand, and finally Khaos on the podium instead of some obnoxious, supposedly important people on it.
The figure walked along the red carpet toward the podium. He wore a dark tunic under the breastplate and a black cape attached to it. His straight pants ,which were the same colour as the tunic, disappeared into the steel greaves on the lower part of his legs. He also wore an obsidian black helmet which he could slide the mask on and off. All the metallic equipment on him shone beautifully like the midnight blue sky. When he was close enough, he took off his helmet and placed it in between the left side of his obliques and his hand as he knelt down on his right knee with his right hand balled into a fist and rest on his left chest- a salute to Khaos. Khaos on the other hand appeared to be bored as she a laying on the couch sideway with her faceless head rested on her arm. Upon seeing the figure kneeling down, Khaos sat up.
"Ah! Ulixes." Khaos voice echoed. The images on her face changed to a view of a milky way with stars scattered all over.
"You summoned me, Lady Khaos?" Ulixes spoke with his cold voice.
"How long has it been since you arrived here, Ulixes? I'm thinking about... seven? or eight years?." Khaos stated.
Ulixes remained silent."Within this whole time, you have done so many things that is known to almost all planets and galaxies. Even the name, Ulixes, alone strike fears into the hearts of many beings." Khaos implied.
"Truth to be told, it is not my priority to put fear on anyone. I'm just doing my mission but I'll take that as a compliment, Lady Khaos." Ulixes acknowledged.
"That's is great. I have another mission for you. A group of aberrant people summoned a horrible monster in the town of Klusev, Poacae. The Poacae Rank is having trouble with the monster despite having their best sent out. More detail can be known by the commander of Poacae Rank." Khaos explained.
"Poacae? Tsk!" Ulixes brooded.
Khaos sighed. "I imagine that everything will go smoothly when you are present in the Poacae Rank." Khaos asked.
"Yes, ma'am..." Ulixes replied with a hint of doubt in his voice.
"Well, that portal lead to Poacae Rank." Khaos pointed to one of the many portal at the side as the said portal began to activate. "I've sent a message earlier to their commander. Their messenger will wait for you when you arrived. You can bring as many soldier as you like." Khaos instructed.
Ulixes saluted Khaos and walk towards the activated portal. Halfway, Ulixes stopped and took out a black ball, the size of a golf ball. Ulixes held it out on open palm and close his eyes as if he's thinking of something. After a few seconds, Ulixes opened his eyes and mumbled a chant. The black ball slowly dissolved from the tip and disappeared into thin air. Ulixes continued walking and went through the activated portal.
POACAE RANK, GRAND HALL:
"Sir! Ulixes has arrived!" The messenger notified as he walked through the opened door and kneel before his commander.
Ulixes followed slowly from behind and stood nonchalantly in front of the Poacae commander. Upon noticing this, the messenger stood up and went to Ulixes side.
"How about kneeling down and show respect to the commander!" The messenger hissed.
"I bow to no one except Khaos." Ulixes refused to comply.
Taking that reply as an insult, the messenger took his knife out and attempted to strike Ulixes.
"Then die you piece of..." Before the messenger could finish his sentence, Ulixes' sword, a 3ft long dark blade in a midnight blue scabbard, materialized on his hand as it stabbed through the messenger's stomach. The messenger groaned softly as the commander stood upright staring intently at Ulixes while the guards around unsheathed their swords. All the guards make their move towards Ulixes. Unknowingly, an invisible force swept through around Ulixes and the guards were stopped, dead in their track. Some started sweating quickly as everyone dropped their weapons.
"I promised no troubles during my visit here. If what I heard about the Poacaes having a superb medical treatment is true, I believe this wound could be easily healed." Ulixes said bluntly as his sword dematerialize.
"It is!" The commander spoke although it came out a few octaves higher. "Guards! Bring him to the medic!" The commander instructed.
"So... the mission?" Ulixes continued. "And cut all the nonsense crap and tell me what I have to do to quickly leave this forsaken planet." Ulixes said in an insulting manner.
The commander wasn't happy but he still told Ulixes all the important details of the mission. He too doesn't like Ulixes being here.
"Drakehounds? Don't tell me..." With that, Ulixes walked away.
"Will you go alone or bring an army with you" The commander asked.
"No, and what I'll be doing is none of your business." Ulixes said as he kept on walking.
POACAE, KLUSEV FOREST:
As Ulixes stepped out from the portal and onto a wide open spaces, he was greeted by two figures. One was male and the other was female.
The male soldier is a very rash and strong person. He's extremely fit and muscular, some may even say too fit and muscular, but he's not like a bodybuilder. He's the son of Bia, goddess of force, power, and might. He's even got the blessings of Bia's siblings: Nike, Zelos, and Kratos. His name's Rudy Burner.
The female soldier's a daughter of Khione, goddess of snow. She's not the tallest or strongest person in the world, and she is shy, but she's a gentle and skillful person. Her name's Maia Giveaux.
"Took you long enough, Sir..." Rudy spoke in a joking voice.
"Rudy... Maia..." Ulixes nodded to each of them. "I had a... situation..." Ulixes carefully chose his word.
"Well, I'm not interested in knowing anyway. So what are we doing here?" Rudy asked.
Suddenly there was a howl and a few more followed. A bunch of 30 over beast appeared. One, which was the largest leaped to the top of a boulder. The normal ones were all the size of a car. They appeared to be a some kind of large black dog but with the scales and feet of a dragon. Each beast had a head that looked like a wolf, but had a mouth that opened both ways and inside were a set of disgusting razor sharp teeth. The reptile eyes also didn't help in making their features less disturbing. They looked more hideous than Ulixes thought.
"We're here for that..." Ulixes told Rudy and Maia. "Drake something or whatever they're called."
"With that mask covering your face, I assume you're disgusted?" Rudy smiled at Ulixes.
"That doesn't concern you..." Ulixes turned to look at Rudy.
"And he's back..." Rudy snickered.
"Termination mission then..." Maia sighed.
"Just the big one," Ulixes said, "but I guess we're not getting anyway near it without eliminating the smaller ones."
"A wise man once said, 'If it doesn't flow with you, just push it through!' " Rudy claimed.
"Did you just make that up?" Maia asked timidly.
"Not me... Ulixes..." Rudy smiled widely as he rushed forward.
"Cover him, Maia." Ulixes instructed, a little bit worried about Rudy's rash nature.
Maia chased after Rudy and Ulixes followed behind. As Rudy neared the Drakehounds, one of them leapt towards him. Rudy smiled as he swung his hand, which had a gauntlet on it that made his fists the same size as his head. The punch connected, the Drakehound flung backward, passed by the leader, and crashed on a tree.
"This gonna be fun." Rudy mumbled to himself as more Drakehounds started moving.
A/N: So what do you guy think? Chapter will be up once a week, Thursday or Friday... depending. Just for the first few chapter. After that it will be 3 time a week (since this is a remake, I will be going fast till the battle arc). Then, it will be back to 1 or 2 time per week.
Finally, reviews! It will be more helpful if you tell me what can be better... (PLOT/STORY WISE!)
Until then!
