FANTASY LEGENDS: RISE OF THE CHAMPIONS

Chapter 1: Rebirth Prt. 1

     Tokyo, Japan

       Sunkayo.

  Disaster.

  It had only been two days since the military lost to the Kaijus, giving them an open space to attack and feed of the Inhabitants of Sunkayo City.

 In the midst of the disaster, Gu–Wong Santoshi reprimands a man instead of running for his life.

 Sigh, how stupid of him.

  

 "Look at you, sitting there and watching everyone die!."

 The man in white clothing seemed not to have heard him as he continued to work the black cube in his hands. He owned a white silky woman hair that alinged with his white irises. He also had an halo over his head.

 "Are you listening to me.", Gu Won beamed. He matched up to the supposed angel like man. And in anger, he sends his right palm across the man cheek but, his palm only passes through.

 "You imbecile angel! you think you are powerful huhn?!", he snapped his fingers at him. "Just mark my words if I die! I will hunt you so called angels down and pluck your wings."

 "You should run Gu won.", The angel said. "Now Is not the time to accuse or insult me for what fate have installed for you."

  "So you can speak!."

  The Angel stopped playing with the black cube and vanished. 

 "Hey! where the hell did he go to!.", he shouted as the angel vanished. "Come back here you coward!!!!."

  Crash!

  Abruptly, a wrecked car smashes into the bench the angel once sat upon. Demolishing it, before it somersaulted away and landed on it back. 

 The car was halfway demolished and there was someone in it. Gu Won sighted the hair of someone and ran to their aid but before he got there, the fuel tank had started leaking. 

 And then,

  It explodes , throwing Gu won faraway on his back. 

  "No!.", he cried out seeing the flames. He got up and beheld the flames enveloping the vehicle. "This... this... is...this is not fair at all."

 "Run while you can Gu Won. The Kaiju beasts are coming. Run, survive, and leave to tell how your story.", the voice of the angel came alive behind him. 

 

 Gu won turned around. All clad in cloths that were torn in different places. He then pointed at the burning vehicles. "You shouldn't have allowed that to happen.", his voice cracked. "Why aren't you doing anything you scumbag!."

  "It was her fate to die.", he started. "It everyone's fate to die at the hands of the Kaiju beasts. But I am giving you a chance to live. I am giving you a chance to tell your story to the future generation."

 "But, it seems you aren't worth surviving, you might just die like everyone of them."

 "That what you think Mr.", Gu won said, pointing at him. "I will survive, with or without your help. I will live tell my story and you will be the first one I will tell."

 "Till then , I will be waiting."

 An uproar of an Kaiju fills the vicinity abruptly. Gu won takes to his heels and runs as fast as he can. He wanted to live long, long enough to tell the story of this day to the future gen. 

  Gu–Wong Santoshi is a struggling youth with mental health problems. A mad man who goes about prophesying the end of time on the streets of the Sunkayo City after his wife left him for another man who was more wealthy and famous.

 His parents abandoned him.

 His friends ditched him for his never ending dry pockets. 

 From there, he had no one to talk to. Just himself. Depression soaked him and it led to a mental illness of becoming an insane maniac. 

 Patrolling around the streets of Sunkayo, naked. Saying unbelievable things to the people. He would grab people of the streets occasionally and predict their future.

 The cops would come after him but would never arrest him for even in his state of unknown, Gu–Wong Santoshi was capable of rendering them insane by just looking at him.

 Till a mysterious offers to be his friend who turns out to be the same man who he calls an angel. 

  Months passed since their friendship and it was the Kaiju invasion surfaced. Gu–Wong friend was forced to take form by his master and watch the plague unravel.

 As a result , it caused Gu–Wong to hate him and himself for thinking he would ever save Sunkayo and the rest of Japan from this threat.

 Now, he runs like there's no tomorrow. Jumping over objects and taking turns to outrun this Kaiju monsters.

 As he ran ,

 And ran,

 With no end,

 He eventually loses his breath,

 His stamina ceased. His muscles collapsed. He couldn't take it but he couldn't stop either. He kept pushing himself forward. There was a cliff up ahead, and he kept pushing himself there.

 While Gu–Wong kept dragging his body and his legs to the cliff , the angel, from afar, seated on the extreme of one of the buildings. He was watching him.

 From here , the view of Sunkayo City was a horrible. Dead bodies scattered everywhere. Kaiju monsters of different breeds fed upon their flesh. 

  The forces sent by the government to stop had all died in battle which was resulted in the destruction of some part of Sunkayo City. War tanks sheered in half. Helicopters to war jets in their ends. 

 Civilians dead on spot. 

 Yet, one fool drags himself to the cliff. 

 Getting to the extreme, his observatory informs him of the ocean underneath. He looked around and found no one except ruin supplies. 

 He looked back at the ocean and thought. " If I can jump in , I will be able to escape and never get to see this shit hole of a place again. I will swim North and find a new home not bedridden by Kaijus. Sigh, it only a matter of fate.", He repeated the last six words. ",It a only matter of a fate."

  He was about throwing himself into the ocean when he something caught his attention.

 The cry of a child brought him back from his thoughts, he looked around for where the cry was coming from.

 "Hello! anybody there???", he yelled at the top.of his voice just so the child will hear him but no, the cry didn't stop. He forces himself back to look for the crying child but unbeknownst to him, he was already far from the cliff.

 In the middle of the road with debris all over the place. He could still hear it,

 

 The cry of a child in agony. 

 "Where are you? hello? little one?", his voice echoed effectively but there was no response. 

 From the tops, an hideous Kaiju surfaces. 10—Foot—tall with an hideous blue body and a horrific face with nasty eyeballs that were drooling spits. 

  It had heard Gu–Wong voice. "Another meal!."

 Gu–Wong paced in a straight path but the cry had stopped. It made him worried. He began to hallucinate things he didn't want to.

 Did they get him?

 No no, they better not!

 They shouldn't!

 Bloody hell what am I thinking! 

 He stopped walking when he sighted a body laying on the ground not to far from him, dipped in a blood pool. His heart pulsated rapidly. The beats sounded like thunder within, he was frightened. The body was indeed of a child's own.

 If he was correct it was the child. 

 " No no!. This is not right!.", He cried out. "He's too young, y'all should have spared the child!. Oh no, what have this world become?!"

  He crouched near the child and gathered him into his hands. He took his time to study the child and when he was done, he gasped. He knew the little boy.

 "Uji Jagori.", He muttered. 

 Uji Jagori was just a little boy who buys ice cream for him Everytime Gu–Wong would visit the park to preach the world end. Unlike people who feared him. Uji Jagori didn't. 

 Gu–Wong lost contact with him afterwards because Jagori's parents were afraid Gu–Wong would take him away. They kept their child too themselves...

 

 And now... 

 Where are they?

 Possibly dead like everyone else,

 Except Gu–Wong.

"No. It shouldn't have been you! It shouldn't have been you! this is a mistake! you don't deserve to die!. You shouldn't be dead! You're just a kid goddamint!

 He got up and carried him along. He reached a certain distance before  his weakened bones began to retaliate.  "No! I must! keep moving!. I won't allow your corpse become a meal to the Kaijus."

 He was determined but how will he do it. All weakened and fried out. 

 Taking one step after of the other.

  Abruptly,

 A long sharp claw punctures through his forehead , spilling out blood. Gu–Wong gasped his last breath, staggering backwards immediately the claw vanished. 

 'No! ..*Gasps!* Not now!. *Coughs* why as the universe forsaken me and this child!.'

 He fell on his back with a thud with the child. His eyes struggled not to close, fighting death with all his power but it was useless.

 What power did he have over death? none!. 

 Before his eyes could shut forever he saw them all, the Kaiju monsters , all of them! gathering from different angles , all with the goal to eat him and the child up.

 "Hey hey hey!!!", the Kaiju that killed him yelped. "He's mine, so back of. Only me gets to eat him!."

 The Kaijus retaliated with a large shriek and threw themselves at the ground and crawled their way towards the Kaiju and it fallen prey.

 "I am warning you! stay back! it my meal!"

  They soon drew closer and closer and then, a fight breaks out between the Kaijus for the bodies. It was all Gu–Wong could see before his eyes shuts close.

 Blink 

 Blink

 Blink

 Gu–Wong eyes opens up , appeared to be standing with the angel in front of him.

  "Ah! You! Angel Yukito!", Gu–Wong called in shock. "What are yo--- where am I!. I am supposed to be dead, right???"

 "Of course, you're dead." Angel Yukito responded with his hands buried in his pockets. "Look around you. You're still on the ground laying wasted,ready to be eaten up by this hungry Kaijus...", Gu–Wong looked down to see his dead body and Jagori's. Then observed his premise, the Kaijus were at war with one another. "... time is frozen, I brought you here to bargain with."

 "What could you possibly wanna bargain for?"

 "I can save you, I can bring you back like you never left. I can stop you from leaving this world completely."

 "Forget me Yukito. I rather die than continue to leave. I have nothing to leave for. Everyone I know...", he sighed. "Has left me for those who are better. Infact, they're dead. I am pretty useless Yukito.", He looked at the poor lifeless Jagori. 

 "Save Jagori and let me die. I won't sweat it, just give the boy a new life and redefine his purpose."

 Yukito smirked , he had anticipated this before. He knew Gu–Wong would give his life in favor to resurrect the child.

 "What are you waiting for?"

 "I am no done yet, before you try acting heroic in laying down your life for the child you should I want an individual to posses a body I designed, something I like to a weapon of mass destruction. Something that can bring in an end to this Kaiju all over the universe."

 "The Universe?"

 "The Kaijus didn't just invade earth my friend. They also invaded other parts of the world. I designed this body with the purpose of one day using it to exterminate the Kaijus. But needs what it calls a mind to wield it."

 "You're so powerful Yukito. I know I hate you but it not my calling. Make the child the body's possessor and leave me to die."

 "What if I said I can save the two of you instead?" Yukito suddenly said, shocking Gu–Wong in the process. "What if I told you need two occupants for this body? will you still wanna die?"

 Gu–Wong look at all the Kaijus and himself and Jagori. If Yukito was capable of saving them both then why not? in as much he wanted to choose the path of death , this was more of a opportunity to get back at the Kaiju with Yukito so called weapon of mass destruction.

 "No. If you can save us both then go ahead.", Gu–Wong said and added. "Just make sure the boy takes a bigger share in this."

 With this, Yukito smiled. "Alright then Gentlemen. "

 A white light envelopes the whole of existence and soon, ceases a total blackout.

 "It is done."
