Return of Achilles
By: Robert McGaha
Prologue
In the country side of Fresno a seventeen year old man by the name of Trebor McGaha was doing his regular thing of practicing the ancient ways of his ancestry. Trebor's ancestor was the great Achilles. The same man they made the rumor of him being an immortal god. That wasn't true; in fact Achilles was just an ordinary man who was born to kill. And kill he did. In the end Achilles was shot in the heel by an arrow, thus the "Achilles Heel." Well once Trebor found out whom his many great grandfather was he began to study and practice his ways at the age of ten. As those seven years passed Trebor became almost the exact same thing as his many great grandfather. Now all Trebor needed was the armor and a real blade. So Trebor drove to his uncle's house to get it done. His uncle was a blacksmith, and a darn good one at that. Of course this armor would be a prototype and it wouldn't look like the exact thing by the way Trebor drew it. He didn't want it to look like Achilles armor just yet. Trebor always thought things through.
Chapter 1: The Armor
Once the armor was completed Trebor immediately put it on to see if it fit. Well the armor fit and he looked like an armored version of Captain America. That's what the colors were. Red, white, and blue. He even had the shield those colors. But the blade was just a kopis same as the Captain America helmet. Captain America as you could see was Trebor's favorite hero. Because of him, he came to be. A weak man who cared and then later turned into a super soldier. So on and so on. So Trebor became a mobile armored "hero" if you will. Trebor knew how to fight. "Thanks uncle Freddy." Trebor said swinging his blade around in a circular motion. "I really appreciate it. Just don't tell mom or dad." Freddy replied, "Yeah. Okay. Do you know how to fight?" Trebor replied, "Yeah. I’ve been practicing since I was ten.” Freddy replied, "Oh. Wow you really are interested in this aren’t you?” Trebor replied, “Yeah. Plus I go to Oakhurst a lot.” Freddy replied, "Why Oakhurst?" Trebor replied, "I know people up there to train with. Plus it's nice up there. And I know good people up there. Anyways thanks again I should get going." Freddy waved his hand and he watched Trebor go to his car and said, "Good luck with the armor."
When Trebor got to his trunk he took off his armor and put it in his trunk and then got into the driver's seat and took off. As he took off he had gotten a call from one of his friends that go to his church, "Hey Trebor. When are you going to teach me your moves that you promised to show me?" Trebor replied back, "I'm on my way right now. I just had to take care of a thing first. Relax I promised I'd teach you and I am going to teach you. I'm on the road right now I'll be there in fifteen minutes." Trebor hung up the phone and turned his car in the other direction and drove to his friend’s house. As he was on the road he saw a man trying to break into a house with a crowbar and a pistol. Trebor stopped the car two houses down and quietly put on his armor and pulled out his sword and ran to the man with the weapons and tackled him down making the man drop the gun but not the crowbar. As they both got up, the owner of the house came outside to see two men getting up with something sharp in their hands. The owner of the house shouted with a female voice, "What's going on!?" As soon as Trebor heard that he replied back with the other getting up, "This man was trying to break into your home and I'm trying to stop him." The woman replied, "Oh then watch your back." As soon as Trebor turned around he saw the man with the crowbar above his head about to hit Trebor. Trebor quickly pulled up his sword and block the attack. Then Trebor jumped over the man and slashed both legs sending the man to his knees with Trebor putting the blade against the man’s neck and all you could hear was the man screaming. Trebor moved to the front of the man and asked, "Now why this house?" The man replied, "That's my ex-wife." The woman replied, "Hence the 'ex' part." Trebor replied to the woman, "Ma'am would you please call the police." The man asked, "Who are you?" Trebor replied, "I'm..." Trebor couldn't copy write Captain America so he had to think of something clever something like... "Colonel U.S.A. Yeah I'm Colonel U.S.A." As soon as Trebor heard police sirens he took off to his car and made sure no one was watching. So he kicked the man in the face to make sure he was blind for a while.
