The Red Baron

 

Introductions

As his small band of soldiers began to enter the city, the dark one was in a wondrous mood. For all he knew, the deed had been done and the one who processed the other necklace was no more. The dark one had a unique ability to sense out the power of his foes and allies alike and from what he felt as he entered the city, the chosen one was no match for the combined forces of his Soldiers of Death.

 

Kane flew next to the dark one as they floated over the city as dozens of soldiers rampaged into the buildings and homes of the outskirts of the city. He really wanted to get his own hands dirty but the dark one gave specific orders to stay at his side. This made Kane very upset, but after seeing the destruction and the carnage, he felt a little better.

”Master, all goes according to your will. May I not take my place among the soldiers?”

The dark one smiled a little. His grin showing a bold and confident spirit and he looked at his minion.

”By all means, Kane, I believe now is the perfect time to-“

But the dark one cut himself off. All of a sudden, his flight stopped in mid-air and a look of frightful surprise and worry came over him. Kane saw this immediately and stopped as well, turning to his master.

 

“Master, what is it? What have you seen? What have you sensed?”

The dark one knew that his minion did not have the power to sense ki or spirit energy and knew that his ignorance could one day do him in. But now his mind flashed with the power and energy of his soldiers dying away and seeing that the chosen only grew in power, and that his power was nearing his location.

 

“It appears that the chosen has greater power than we had thought. He is coming this way. And he is indeed angry. I can sense it in the way the energy burns within him.”

At this point he began to smile.

”Now my armies will surely be put to the test. He is coming alone and he has already struggled with but a few of what I really have. My armies will crush him and continue on. You can even have the leftovers, Kane.”

Though Kane did not like that fact that his master was not about to let him get a turn, but he liked the idea that he'd be able to rip what's left of the human once he was eaten by the soldiers.

The dark one and Kane flew down and stood atop a tall building where they would be able to see the activity. Already, the dark one was sending the signal that it was time to take action. The soldiers below were getting ready in great anticipation of the incoming fighter.

 

It was soon after that Carlos arrived on the scene. Stopping in mid-air, he looked down below and flew down to the streets. He was in the middle of some of the tallest buildings and the busiest streets in the city and yet, all was quiet. He had sensed energy in the area.

Where was that energy coming from?

He walked down the street, looking left and right, over his shoulder and in all places trying to find out what was drawing him to this place. The wind was icy and the smells of destruction were filling the area at a steady pace. Though Carlos was unable to sense exactly what was here, all his other senses told him something was not right.

It was then that Carlos looked up and saw two figures in the distance, high into the skies on a building. He could not see who or what they were exactly and flew toward them. As he got closer, the faces became clearer and clearer and he soon noticed that they were both smiling. But just as Carlos was about to get near them, he stopped and a look of fear came onto his face. He recognized the face of the figure in the black; it was the very face he saw in his dream.

The dark one and Kane were the two he was now seeing. The dark one spoke up first.

”So, I see that you have already taken the correct path by fearing me. But your fear will allow you no mercy.”

Carlos began to worry a little but his confidence in his powers gave him strength.

”Who are you and why are you attacking me and my master?

The dark one opened up a big smile.

”I am dreadfully sorry to have bothered you. They were supposed to kill you before you realized it. I'll have to do better next time.”

Carlos was stiff with his look and was getting much more frightened by the second. The dark one continued.

”If you must know, I am the one you are probably looking for. I sent those creatures to destroy you but you seem to have beaten them. You are much stronger than I gave you credit for. You have already learned a lot from that necklace of yours.”

 

Carlos looked down at his necklace as the dark one went on.

”I, young man, am your worst nightmare. I am the dark demon with no name and what I want is that necklace which hangs about your head. You will either give it to me or I will have them take it.”

The soldiers came from the shadows and floated up to his position. They were very far from him but they had so many dozens that they were encircling him with great ease. Carlos wanted to fly off when the found himself surrounded by so many of what he fought before. It worried him even more and now it was really showing.

”You young fool. You have no idea what trouble that necklace now caused you. My power will crush you and your necklace and your planet will be mine. The world has trembled under my grasp before and it will happen again.”

Carlos' mind began to waiver from the idea of attacking but soon, he though about his master and how he was now badly hurt because of his men. He was not about to let that stand.

”I am sorry dark guy but I can't let you do that. You almost killed my master and my friend and that pisses me off. Now you're gonna pay.”

The dark one gave an evil cackle and laughed at Carlos.

”Just who do you think you are? What makes you think you got what it takes to beat me, child?”

Carlos powered up. This gave a little surprise to the dark one and Kane. Kane smiled. Though he could not sense Carlos' energy, he knew that this was going to be good. Carlos took on a much more serious look.

”My name is Carlos Garcia. But you can call me the Red Baron.”

The dark one only gave another short laugh.

”'The Red Baron?' What kind of name is that? Well, it's a good name, Baron. Then that makes me you're Dark Baron. How unfortunate that these names won't last for very long anyway!”

 

The gray soldiers began to power up as well. Though they didn't have much for looks, they were seen as fearless and confident, soldiers with thoughts of killing and fighting to the death, just like the Dark Baron wanted it.

 

Kane began to give the orders and roared in a thundering voice.

”Now, do as your dark master bids, Soldiers of Death, and attack the Red Baron!”

A shower of gray began to fall on the Red Baron.
