The Outter Enemy - Z

~Z~

"Left, Right, Up, Down, A, B, Start, Select."

An adult female sits in the middle of a grassy field, playing a handheld videogame, her back leaning against a rather large oak tree, her head moving slightly back and forth to the music of her MP3 player. The sun is shining brighty, a few clouds dot the sky line, and it's mildly windy. The only sound the can be heard is the wind blowing gently and the soft "beep beep" of the input of controls for her game and a faint rock music coming from her headphones. She has short blue hair, with bangs down in front of her eyes, which are colored a brilliant yellowish gold. She's tall, long legs, thin body.

She's wearing a tight mildly reflective blue top, with tight black slacks on. Her shoes are made of a hard leather substance, black though. And she has a slight smirk on her face.

Elsewhere, at the far end of clearing, a man wielding a crossbow signals his men to fire at will, and they let all their bowstring's go.
The arrows come from all directions, like a wall of pure blackness in the sky. She notices, but ignores it untill the last second, then she stands up, still staring down at her game, she bends her left leg while slightly lifting her right and shifts her wieght, throwing her right leg like a whip through the air. The pure air current behind the massive amount of speed from the one overhead kick sent the majority of the arrows off in all directions except hers.
She then stood in a waiting postion, still staring down at her game and moving her head to the music. The men run at her, swords drawn, from all angles. A few men jump ahead of the rest, with small daggers drawn, and attack her. She swiftly moves between the small space between the four, and spins on her right heel, contacting the first man with a roundhouse kick to the back of the head. Still in the air, he flies face down into the dirt, and she rolls over his back, leg over leg, her heel contacting the next man's head, also sending him face first into the ground. From here, she turns to her right, and does a triple front flip, as the man in that direction had begun to slice at her, at the end of her third flip, she extended her legs, forcing them to contact the base of the third man's neck, breaking it. Letting her body fall, the man's also lands face down in the grass, but with her perched atop his head. The last man, turned to stab at her, She pulled her knee up, and gently ran it along the side of the sword, the non-bladed center. And she pushed it gently away from her body, letting that foot land, she instantly put her wieght on it, and kicked upward with her now left leg, facing the enemy. He landed several feet away. Out cold.

The army of maybe a thousand all charging her from every direction now, she finnaly, just for a second, looks up from the game. Her eyes gleam from under her hair, and she closes them for just a second. She shifts her weight to her left leg, and spins, pulling her right leg in a full circle, from her hip, over her shoulder, and back down to the earth, she contacted it hard, with her heel. It instantly broke and fell to pieces, but so did the ground under the army, the entire forest in front of her just seemed to sink into the ground and fall apart. Hundreds of thousands of birds flew to the sky and out of sight, and the screams of that half of the army died away as the noise of the ground cracking overwelmed it.

Soon the ground stopped moving, and so did the soldiers. But she now turned behind her to the other half of them.

They looked angered, their fellow men just died in front of them, she had to die. Their general couldn't take it anymore, and flew form the trees, arms behind him from the pure speed of his travel through the air, and landing with a crater just where she had been, but she had eaisily moved backward.
He was a rugged man, with a ribbon tied around his left arm, showing that he was general, and he had an ammo belt strapped around his shoulders, he had ripped cargo pants on, and iron knuckles on each fist. his hair was a dirty brown, and un-kept.

The men were almost there, and he took a step toward her, and swung with a left hook. She bend over backwards to avoid the attack, but, continuing with the transfer of motion, she brought her left foot up into his jaw, and followed through into a small backflip. Landing with him still in the air, she rocketed off the ground and into a flying side kick. An arrow was already in her path though, so she changed postion, and still flying toward him, she rotated her body to send her right heel into his jaw. He hit the ground, but rebounded and skidded to a stop near her tree. He then ran full force toward her, three arrows were now coming at her, and there were several men less then ten feet from her. She landed and ducked two of them, and moved to the side to dodge the last. The nearest man had a longated spear, and stabbed at her. She rolled to the side, pushing off the blade, and into a roundhouse kick to his head, without watching where he landed, she planted that foot into the soil, and jumped with it, into a jumping double roundhouse kick. (spining quickly with both legs extended) Hitting several men, and killing most of them, knocking out the rest. Now, deep within the middle of the army, she quickly bit down on her handheld game, and turned upside down in the air, landing on her palms of her hands, and continuing the spin, she held out her legs and hit several more. Now, continuing the motion, she released one hand, and let her body fall to one side, her left leg just above the ground now, and her right leg straight upward to keep balance, she tripped several more men and broke several more knees. And now ending the spin with a jump, and having her extended left leg clip all nearby heads. She landed on two hands and one leg, her other leg was extended behind her, in a kind of runners stance.

She had cleared a large circle in the middle of the army. But now, the general was on her, she quickly crouched as low as she could to the ground, and then stood up, with her arms spead, at the speed of sound. Bringing with her, a sonic boom, and massive wave of air current. It tore through the entire army, and the general was cleanly cut in two, just from air current, moving at around the speed of sound however.

She took a deep breath, stepped over all the bodies, and sat down at her tree, now sliced to ribbons, but still good for leaning. She took the handheld out of her mouth, and unpaused it. She was almost to the last level...

Suddenly, there was a huge flash of light, but soundless.... and a boy around 16 appeared from it.

"Hi!" He said, but he recoiled we he saw the hundreds of bodies surrounding one girl playing a video game.

"uh... exscuse me, miss?"

She, paused her game, annoyed, and looked up, but was shocked at what she saw. There was this boy, in blue armor, but with HUGE bright golden wings streching from his back, and the planet was almost melding with him!

For the first time in her life, she clicked the 'power' button on the handheld, and walked over to him, her eyes wide.

"Who are you?" She said.

He smiled, she had very beautiful eyes. "I'm Ash, Hi, I've come to ask a request of you."

She looked down and moved her hand through her hair. "Uh, sure, what is it?"

"I need your talent in my army, I'm fighting someone who wants to take away all free will. Plus... I can get you more of THOSE." He pointed to the handheld now sticking out of her pocket.

She eyed him curiously. "for free?"

He laughed, a loud, soft laugh. "Yeah, plus, I'll be your friend. And really, that's all one really needs."

She liked him, reminded her of her dad. "Yeah, I'll join you. as long as no one takes my games away."

"By the way, what's your name?" He said with a smile.

"Ah, well-" She looked to the sky, now with a flock of birds landing back in their destroyed trees. "Just call me Z"

"Z?" He repeated.

"Yeah, it's kinda of a nickname." Z said.

They smiled at each other. "So, uh, yeah,-" Ash held up his hand to her. "-let's go."

A portal opened behind him, and she took his hand, and they both stepped inside, while she pulled out her handheld.

~End~

There. this is probably the last of these stories i'll post. the others all have mild sexual content and swearing, so i doubt i'll be allowed to post them here, judging by the rules.

anyhow, how does everyone like them?
