Altheria: Nightmare Hunters

Chapter 1: The Beginning Of The Nightmare

The Headquarters was in ruins, all around were nightmare figments destroying every part, Different agents getting slaughtered left and right, through this madness runs two of Altheria's newest members, Gear and Scarlette, Gear comes from a futuristic dreamscape, he wears a purple bandana with silver spikey hair, a radar over his eyes, his shiny black and purple armor glistening from the light of the flames, Scarlette on the other hand comes from a medieval world, her medieval styled armor also gleaming.

Both breathing heavily as Gear stops running all of a sudden out of breathe. "Aww is Someone tired already?" Scarlette stops and smirks at Gear with a chuckle. Gear shakes his head and smirks back at Scarlette. " Someone's a smart ass. Let's go before The headquarters fully destoryed" He starts to run again. Scarlette comes zooming past."yeah if you can keep up!" She laughs as she continues running. Gear speeds up, "get back here!" They both continue running through the enemies, Scarlette killing with her sword, slicing and dicing as Gear shoots them with his pistol, a plasma sword protruding from his cuff, using that he also sliced through the figments like butter, that is until they were stopped,"well well, two Altherians that HAVEN'T been killed, you must be a strong." A Gear and Scarlette skid to a stop and look up with confused look, above them stood a giant muscular nightmare figment, eyes glowing red. Gear looks at at Scarlette with a a chuckle."oh nooo what ever will we do?" He says with a sarcastic tone. Scarlette looks up at the figment with crossed arms."wanna fight big guy?" Her body glows white, her armor changing red and she now sports a dragon styled helmet and a lance. "Like my Drago armor?"  The nightmare figment laughed."well well seems you have some secrets, keep me entertained Altherian! I'll keep you alive longer!" 

Scarlette ran at the figment before her, Landing  a blow to it's face with little effect. "Awww is that it? COME ON ALTHERIAN, USE YOUR FULL STRENGTH" It yelled as it grabbed her arm and slammed her hard into the ground with a loud THUD, Scarlette coughing up a small bit of blood. The figment laughed as he picked her up and threw her into a wall, The impact making a giant hole. Gear just stood there, paralyzed as he witnessed the beating before him, Scarlette slowly got back on her and transformed into her Drago Armor(this will be explained later on) The armor was in the style of a dragon and was also a red, This armor also grants her a powerful lance, but it comes with a price, The wearer's speed is cut in half, But with that comes a huge boost in power.

Scarlette looked at the figment, Wiping the blood from her mouth she ran at it, swinging the lance at it, The figment dodged to the right then proceeded to kick Scarlette to the ground once more. Scarlette laid there in a daze. The figment stood over her. With a chuckles it raised its foot over her head. "I should've guessed a small weakling like you wouldn't be any fun... Time to say goodnight" It said as it was about to stomp down on her head. Suddenly a shot is fired at the figment, It was gear's pistol. "LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARD" Gear said angrily through gritted teeth, His plasma blade protruding from the cuff on his wrist. The figment laughed and turned to look at Gear. "Oh so you've finally decided to step in? That's fine. I was going to kill you both eventually anyway!" 

Gear took deep breathes, thinking to himself"I can't fight if i'm pissed, I'll just end up fighting blindly" He shook his head and looked at the figment and chuckled softly before lunging at the figment, The blade slicing through it's leg alittle. The figment yelling out in pain. "AUGH YOU LITTLE BASTARD" The figment through a punch at Gear, Gear flipping over it's fist with a smirk. "Awwww did i hit a nerve?" He said tauntingly as he stuck out his tongue. The figment just got more upset"YOU DARE MOCK ME!?" It started to run full speed at Gear, Gear chuckled and shook his head as he dodged out of the way. "Let's put you out of your misery shall we?" He said as shot at the figment with his pistol, The plasma bullet piercing through it's. The nightmare figment yelped in pain as it fell over, a loud thud as it's huge body hit the ground.
