I slowly open my eyes to reveal a dark room. I sit up and look around. I see the silhouette of someone, or something, standing by a table with what seemd to be a lamp or something.
"Oh, so you're awake?" The silhouette said. He/She turned the lamp on and I sheild my eyes.
"Uhm, yeah. Where am I exactly?" I ask.
"You have entered The Afterlife. this is where everyobdy comes when they die." The girl said. "What's your name, Mr..."
"Keatan." I said. I stood up and looked around at the many exits.
"Well Keatan, I'm Alexandria. But everyone calls me Alex. C'mon, I'll show you around." Alex walks a couple steps away and gestured for me to follow.
She shows me to one of the doors.
"So what do you do here?" I asked, she opened the door to a courtyard type thing.
"I'm the leader here. And by here, I mean The Resistance." She wakled over to one of the many guys in teh section we were in. The guy turned around and had this huge smile on his face.
"Hey Alex! Is this the new recruit?" He looked at me like he hadn't seen me in years.
"Yup. This is Kallan. Kallan, this is Keatan." Alex introduced us. The guy really looked familliar
"Cool. So should I show the Newbie how everthing works around here?" Kallan asked.
"Yeah. That sounds great. Thanks." Alex said and walked off.
Kallan looks at me. "So Keatan. This is The Afterlife. I'm sure Alex already told you that. So, let's get on with the tour, shall we?" He says and starts walking.
We walked out of the courtyard and down a long hallway."Okay, I have a question. Alex said she's the leader of The Resistance. You call yoursellves The Resistance, but what are you resisting?"
"We are the resistance against The Angels." He stopped walking and turned to me. "The Angels are the minions of the ruler of The Afterlife. Their objective is to wipe out anyone who stands up against the laws."
"So, is this ruler like, God?"
"Precisely. Anyways, let's get on with the tour, shall we?" He said and we started walking again.
We walked down a little farther ande we finally got to the first room.
"This is the Training Room. This is where the new recruits, like yourself, some to learn how to use their special abilites. Once you enter The Afterlife, you gain abilities. Everybody's are different. For example, mine happens to be the ability to control fire. I can shpe it to my advantage. I can basically shoot it from my hands if I was really in danger." He explained.
"How do you know what your abiilities are?" I ask.
"Well, just wait until your first battle. It usually takes a while."
"Oh, okay. That's great." Right then, a siren sounded.
"Shit, we've gottah get your armor." He grabbed my wrist and we ran to the armor room.
"Um, what's going on?" I ask, totally confused about what the hell was happening.
"You will now be able to find what your ability is. It's an Angel attack." He threw a chest plate, arm guards, and the rest of the shit. He then showed me to where the weapons are. "Choose your weapon."
I looked around and picked up a few. One that caught was a darker sword that the rest. I picked it up and Kallan motioned for me to hurry up.
"Good, the Dark Excalibur. Now let's go."
We ran out to the hallway and back to the courtyard. Alex ran up to us.
"Good, you guys are here. There has been sightings of The Angels. Show Keatan his position. He needs to be in the back and keep an eye on him." Alex said to Kallan.
"Alright. C'mon, Keatan." He replied and we ran to the back line. A loud screach came from outside the walls. A few seconds passed and this leathery demon thing broke down the front wall. It landed and people started to attack.
Not very long after, more and more came and by now, everybody was occupied and then there is me, just standing back, waiting for something to happen. Right then, one of the Angels tackled me to the ground and was just holding me there, knashing its teeth. a sudden sense of power flowed through me. I lifted my arm up, and put it on it's chest. Immediately, the Angel was fried. It was like when I touched it, I sent something through it, like a bolt of lightening.
I got up, ran towards Kallan, who was in the same position I was just in, tackled it, and surged. It was gone in a matter of seconds.
"Woah, thanks." He said and I help him up.
"Don't mention it." I say and we go and fight some more Angels.
Everybody took out every single Angel. We still have the giant thing.
Everybody was swinging their weapons and using their abilities. But they were doing serperately. And it was barely doing any damage.
And that is when I had an idea. If everybody strikes it with their ability at the same time, the force of the blow would completely obliviate it.
"Hey! Guys! Listen up! We are all striking it at different times. We need to strike it at the same time! Give it everything you've got!" Everybody seemed a little hesitant at first but then they all took their stances around the beast. "On the count of three!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
We all struck it with all we had and a loud, ear splitting, screech escaped the creature.
