1 Start of an Adventure

Chapter 1

"Pitter-patter" a woman seems to be stepping on a puddle as she hesitantly runs to the end of the street, She goes to the edge of a building and starts to breathe heavily as she looks around nervously."Thump" is heard as a soda can gets flung at her feet, she looks at the shadows and starts to run to the right. She dodges over rubble as people start to look at this situation unfold through a wooden slit, she looks around to see the eyes surrounding her. She goes to a building and bangs the door, "HELP PLEASE" she yells, no one answers. Tears start to fill her eyes as she starts to curl up like a ball, "well it is fine now, we will make this quick." says a masculine voice as tensions start to rise, People start to surround the scene like a mob.

"CLICK" a gun gets clocked, she gives one loud breath."bratatatat" she clenches her legs as she is drenched in her own tears, she then takes her head up to see … everyone that was around her to be on the ground. The road slowly is redder than anything she has seen before. She looks to see a group of men with caps, coats, and smoke flying away from the barrel of their guns, they move to the side to see a man come up to her. She looks at this man with a trench coat, the only light around this dark figure is an ember at the end of a cigar. "girl, your dad was worried for you" he says as he puffs out some smoke, She starts to cough and choke on it."a girl cannot be alone outside , this is the place with mafias and nightmares that you cannot even look at" he then signals one of the men. A person comes up to her and extends his hand, she reaches out to it and then is helped back up to her feet. Another person puts a trench coat on her, she goes back to the shadows.

She enters a room with a person in every corner, a man in a wheelchair turns around. The wrinkly man seems to be in his eighties with an iv attached to his arm, His hand twitches with every movement made. This man moves his finger over a stick, "screech" as his wheelchair inches closer to her. He looks at her and smiles, "you did not need to go out" he says. The girl smiles, "I am sorry pops, that dog needed food" as she hugs him. He giggles and hugs her back," your safe that's all that matters".She looks over her dad's head to see a holographic projection of a number "tier 2b", "increased a tier?" she questions her dad. Her dad laughs and says " made a new weapon, one for you",

Her innocent smile becomes an angry frown as she turns around. Her father expecting this gives her a pat on her shoulder, she turns around to see her dad with a Crystal. She is shocked in seeing this Crystal turn into shiny, silver and sharp sword with an Asian aesthetic to that handle before she could reject such an outlandish gift "Please Luna, don't use it everywhere but just to protect yourself. drench it in blood when seem fit and get the highest bounty and escape this prison named hell".Luna stared at her dad, she could not accept this offer….this would break every moral she had made but she could not disappoint her dad. He is just looking out for her, Luna looks at her dad and accepts the sword knowing the pain it would bring to her.

Luna runs to her room in distraught as she wipes away tears, she opens the door to her room and goes onto a screen.

The screen shows the planet "Hell", Hell is the storage box for all the dangerous toys in the room. The "dangerous toys" being the biggest criminals on the planet Gemini, people with 100 murders, leaders of gangs or even being a millionaire using illegal gambling. Bounty is what shows how fierce they are, the people who get the highest bounty gets taken back to Gemini as a soldier. Each tier has 3 sub-tiers(A, B, C), with 12 tiers in total, Luna looks at the tiers to see her at 12C….the lowest tier.

Luna grasps her hand as she bangs the desk, She looks at her sword to her surprise notices a button on the side.

She slowly grasps the handle of the sword and nervously presses the button, the sword starts to violently turn ...Luna with all her might keeps the sword still has it turns into the shape of a gun. She moves the gun around her grasp to get a better grip on it, she aims it at a photo of her dad ...she closes one eye and puts her eye next to her gun as she nervously shakes her gun. Luna will be a changed woman after this …" should I do this" she questions herself, she then slowly applies pressure on the trigger.

"Pew" Luna looks at the photo to see her dad's face missing with black edges showing burnt marks, where the bullet landed is easily visible. The door opens, "I see you found the hidden gun in this hybrid" Luna's dad says."Are you sure I should do this?, I won't be the same L..Luna" Luna replies, Her dad chuckles "You were always like your mom. An innocent flower" as his hand brushes against Luna's hair. "I will leave this place at all cost just...just like mom," Luna says determined, but deep down she would have to kill someone ...murder them cold-bloodedly. Her dad satisfied with the answer leaves the room, Luna sits on her bed and starts to fiddle with her hands to find a solution out of this hole dug by herself.

On the other side of the door, Luna's dad is outside talking with a young boy wearing a green jacket and beige cargo shorts." papa Al, you cannot let Luna even pick up that sword" says the young man. "She needs to leave this place and start a new life Jacob, you will understand one day".Jacob starts to feel frustrated over the lack of agreement, He is hot-headed and naive just like his dad...who is Luna's godfather. Ever since he passed away "Papa Al" took him as his own blood. Jacob after some minutes of the same result starts to get a bit more and aggressive in his talk and motion and this starts to worry Al, Al wants this discussion to end quick. So he starts to inch farther away from Jacob, Jacob notices this and combined with his already frustrated mood starts to shout his points much larger as he walks closer and closer to Al. Luna As she is thinking of an idea overhears the commotion outside and walks over to the door as her mind flutters away on the idea of this situation on the other side of the door.

Luna opens the door to see Jacob holding Al's finger stopping him from moving away, Her curiosity turns into a fit of rage as she goes back picks up her sword and points it at Jacob. Jacob looks at Luna and smirks as he lets go of Al's finger and pulls out a sharp dagger and points at Luna. "I am more skilled than you Luna," says Jacob with a confident posture, Luna could sense his arrogance oozing out as she looked above him to see a rank of "2A".Luna smiles and requests a fair duel with no weapons and to her surprise, Jacob accepts this deal overconfident he will win.
