Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Against All Evil ❯ Meet the Boys ( Chapter 1 )

In a world 1000 years in the future,

Pollution and corruption has finally taken its toll.

Earth has fallen,

All but controlled by a corrupted government.

They rule with an iron fist,

A fist that demands loyalty and sacrifice.

None dare to oppose…

 

Not 500 years ago,

Galaxy scientists and engineers working together,

Have made all 9 planets habitable to human beings.

Almost all have fled to space,

And slowly,

Earth started to decay…

 

A few remained on earth,

Few who opposed the government.

United with one thought,

Of the destruction one,

And the cleansing,

Of evil and corruption.

A treaty between species,

The Fifth Columnist Coalition…

 

In the year 3004,

The government has succeeded.

In a desperate attempt,

The FCC has resorted to their last defense.

Picking the best from their warriors,

And forming a team with one goal…

 

A quest,

To find four lost keys,

To unlock the Shikon,

To grant a wish…

 

Guardian…

Sentinel…

Shapeshifter…

Collaborators…

Accused…

Death…

Life…

Intrinsics….

Antediluvians…

Love…

Hate…

Trust…

Loyalty…

Faith…

And hope.

All elements that play,

In the game of…

Light and Darkness.

 

 

 

Now the time has come to meet the team. They have fought many battles, passed many tests, both physically and mentally. The time has come, for commanders and teams to meet and unite under one.

Meet the players of light.

 

 

 

 

Humans wandered around the planets carefree, never noticing that demons were also walking among them disguised as humans, never noticing that they were governed by corrupted humans, never knowing that their leader was a wicked demon. Even with the Rank System in order, humans still led the carefree life they always did on earth, all content to do their designated job and that it was for the good of the people.

 

Few knew though, and banded together, regardless of species, regardless of rank, regardless of age, regardless of everything. Regardless of everything but the purpose of making sure the government didn't get away with everything they did, the purpose that Earth, the founder of all creations, was restored to its proper glory, the purpose that world was once again released from the control of evil.

 

Sunlight filtered through the crystal clear dome of the planet Pluto. Being the smallest of the planets, it was considered by the government as trash, a planet worth nothing. A secret entrance in a dark alleyway led the way down through an underground tunnel. Slowly, dirt filtered into whitewashed and brightly lit hallways that led to different rooms.

 

A young man was led by two guards into a room. Black hair that was slick-backed gave him a tough punk look. He was dressed in a well armored suit that showed his slender yet well toned body. A badge indicated that he was of high status in the FCC, one who was strong and had much training and experience in battles. He sat in a well cushioned chair, brown eyes peering sharply around the room.

 

“Someone will be with you soon, Yusuke. Help yourself to a drink. It's in the cooler,” A guard spoke up, pointing towards a cold box and promptly left the room.

 

Yusuke grumbled as he made his way towards the cold box and popped open a bottle of coke. Finally he had received word from the FFC. Of course, this elite force of rebels was in hiding, training and meeting at designated times, and yet still maintaining their designated jobs. The FCC couldn't afford for members to be captured by the government and tortured for information.

 

Almost all the other 8 planets were overrun with government forces. Pluto, the last and smaller planet, was the safest. Government forces considered Pluto useless. Government forces rarely patrolled the planet, so now it was the secret base for the FCC. Jupiter was by far the second safest planet. So massive was this planet that the FCC could run around in broad daylight and not be seen by the government's military forces. There were many bases scattered around the various planets, Pluto being the one that housed the HQ of the FCC.

 

The 4 leaders of the FCC were hosting a tournament at HQ that would test the physical and mental abilities of specially trusted members. What happened when they passed? Word was that whoever passed the test would be part of a team that was to be associated with top secret information. Whoever got the letter was sure to go.

 

He had arrived at the designated building and was promptly dragged away. Testing after testing ensued until Yusuke was rendered breathless. Who knew what they got from these baka tests?

 

First off, they had drawings. Different colors indicated different ranks. Each of the colors was then placed in different rooms. He thought that he had caught a glimpse of certain redhead he knew, but they were led away to a different room.

 

In the room, the contestants were pit against each other, the winner of each pair then led away to another room. There were more tests, this going on for a few days. Yusuke lost count of the number of tests there were. Finally, when he thought he was going to faint from exhaustion, the tests were over and he was led into this room.

 

Yusuke wondered what was going to happen now. He didn't have to wait very long. The door abruptly opened and Yusuke was face to face with someone he knew every well. His eyes widened in disbelief and he sputtered in shock, making him spew coke all over the floor.

 

“Koenma?!”

 

 

*~*~*~*~* another room*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

A red-head leaned against the wall. He too had received the letter from the FCC. With nothing to do, he had decided to come. Little did he know what he was getting into. He was dragged from test to test, one that strained even his energy to the limits.

 

Finally he was done and led into a room, but it wasn't empty. Four other guys were already inside. Two he hadn't met before, but the other two he remembered quite well.

 

One was a shorter than average man with black and white gravity defying hair, who was currently leaning in the shadows. Another was a tall rather ugly looking man with orange Elvis style hairdo.

 

He had met these two quite a while ago, working together with one other to form the spirit detective. They were required to protect humans and destroy ruthless demons. That was two years ago. His boss, Koenma, had said that they were done working for him and could go. Now, the carrot head was making his greeting.

 

“Hiei!? Aw, man! I thought I saw the last of you, shrimp!”

 

Hiei's fist greeted the man's face, knocking him unconscious.

 

“Hn. Same to you, Kuwabara.”

 

Hiei turned towards the door. The red-head arched his eyebrows and briefly wondered how he came to be with these two once again.

 

`Fox, what are you doing here?'

 

*I could ask the same for you.*

 

Kuwabara gained consciousness and raised his head.

 

“Kurama! You're here too!?”

 

Kurama sighed. Hopefully, Kuwabara's intelligence was at a slightly higher level than it was when they first met. He faced the two he didn't know.

 

One had silver waist length hair, a pair of dog ears sat perched on his head. Around his neck he wore a necklace made of beads and teeth. Golden eyes gazed into emeralds. He had his hand placed warily over a sword.

 

`A hanyou?' Kurama wondered.

 

The other was human with dark purple eyes and black hair tied off into a small ponytail. A staff jingled in a hand bound by prayer beads.

 

`A monk.' Kurama deducted. `I wonder what the two were good at to pass the test.'

 

The monk stood up and held out his hand.

 

“Hello. I'm Miroku. This fellow here is Inuyasha.”

 

Three pairs of eyes widened at this and jaws dropped. These two were well known. Along with six others, their team confronted an evil named Onigumo and defeated him. Onigumo was placed on the FCC's top ten wanted list. Their feat was quite well known in the facilities of the FCC. That was 3 years ago.

 

“I'm Kurama. This is Hiei and Kuwabara,” Kurama greeted after he composed himself.

 

Now it was Inuyasha and Miroku's turn to stare. Miroku looked at them in awe. Their team of seven, four fighters, 2 healers and one supporter, was also well known in the FFC. They had participated in the dark tournament, not only being the group that had humans, but had managed to finish top.

 

“That was…unexpected. I've heard quite a lot about your team, Kurama.” Miroku managed to say after his initial shock.

 

“Same here. I wonder they are going to do with us next.”

 

“Keh. Hopefully those baka tests are over with.”

 

“I wholeheartedly agree, Inuyasha. I'm…quite sore from them.”

 

“Hn.”

 

Kuwabara was about to say something, when the door opened. Someone walked in, holding himself with regal bearings. With silver waist length hair and dressed in the clothing of high FCC ranking clothing, this was a taiyoukai, an S-class demon. The air was suddenly thick with the power of his ki, ordering submission from all demons in the room. Inuyasha's eyes widened.

 

“Sesshoumaru?!”

 

He looked indifferently at the inuhanyou.

 

“Brother. I'm glad you made it.”

 

Inuyasha's jaw couldn't have dropped any lower. Sesshoumaru? Complimenting him of all people? Inuyasha blinked. The first time they met, he wasn't exactly on good terms with his brother. But his teammates changed that. Still, Sesshoumaru rarely complimented people. Sesshoumaru let out an amused chuckle at Inuyasha's perplexed expression and the looks of bewilderment on the other occupants of the room.

 

“I suppose I should explain everything.”

 

Vigorous nodding ensued from Kuwabara, Inuyasha and Miroku. Kurama and Hiei barely contained their interest in the matter. Sesshoumaru situated himself comfortable in a chair and started.

 

“I'm sure you know this, but it must be explained. You all know the purpose of the FCC. The FCC was first created about 200 years ago, in opposition of the government, a rebel party. The leaders are myself and a few others that represent their species. Over the years, it has increased in strength and size, and is now an elite force of specialized fighters and pilots. All who dislike the government serve under this name. We have yet to come across one who has betrayed us.”

 

Sesshoumaru cleared his throat before continuing.

 

“As you all know it, the government's top leader was assassinated last week and was replaced by another. Our spies have yet to obtain information about this leader, as they have all been killed. All we know is that he has wiped out all other government leaders as well, electing his own and that he is supposedly a twisted and cynical bastard. Another wording, he has complete control over all government property and wants to rule the Milky Way and other galaxies as well.”

 

A lot of sputtering and shouts of “WHAT?!?!” resounded around the room. Sesshoumaru twitched, rubbing his pounding ears before continuing.

 

“As I was saying, our last spy sent a message before he was killed, that this new government leader has commissioned for a top secret weapon. If he gets his hands on this weapon, well in short terms, all hell will break loose. We all agreed that we should act upon this. Point is, we are all in grave danger if the government gets their hands on it and we have resorted to our last defense. You.”

 

Flabbergast looks were directed towards the Taiyoukai. He looked a bit disgruntled before continuing.

 

“As I was saying, we have held numerous tests in order to determine your strengths and weakness, and your determination. We have chosen the best from each FCC Ranking to form a team. You have finished training and are most skilled, and hopefully, you will want to work as a team. A team to do what? All will be explained in due time as you have one final test to accomplish.”

 

Sesshoumaru rose from his seat and walked to stand near the door ignoring the groans of more tests.

 

“You five are not even half the section of the entire group. These two are merely recruits recommended by your captain, but they are one of the best. Perhaps their skills surpass even yours,” Sesshoumaru spoke before opening the door, revealing two boys that looked not older than 15, much to the astonishment of the five other men in the room.

 

One was clearly a kitsune. Fox ears perched on reddish-brown shoulder length hair. A bushy tail was wrapped around his waist. Forest green eyes surveyed the group calmly, lighting up when they met Inuyasha's and Miroku's. Another was clearly human. Short coal black hair covered grey-blue eyes that also brightened at Miroku and Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru was about the introduce them, but Inuyasha beat him to it.

 

“Nuh uh. I've got this one covered, Sesshoumaru. Kurama, Kuwabara, Hiei, let me introduce to you, two members of our gang. Shippou” Inuyasha said, pointing to the kitsune. “And Souta.” He pointed towards the other boy. “They were great additions to our gang and were directly involved with defeating Onigumo.”

 

Light blushes could be seen from the two. Sesshoumaru cleared his throat.

 

“These two aren't the last member of your team. Altogether, there are 16 members of the group. Eight boys and eight girls. You will have a commander, one who you seven will have to listen and obey. The girls also have a commander. Above the commanders, is the captain. All follow the captain's order. When the captain is not present, you follow the orders of your commander, followed by your lieutenants. Hiei and Kurama are your lieutenants. The rest of you are expected to follow their command. Now, if I am not mistaken, your commander will be here shortly.”

 

Not even a second after he said that, then the door burst open.

 

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ With Yusuke and Koenma*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Yusuke stared appalled at Koenma.

 

“Oh god! Not you again! I thought I finished with you!”

 

Koenma twitched and spoke around his pacifier.

 

“Well, not anymore. I'm here to tell you about your next mission…”

 

Yusuke's eyes widened and he stared with pure horror. Koenma burst out laughing.

 

“Hah! You should have seen the look on your face. Heh…no, it's not a mission. It's something much more important. And I mean much more. Not only does the fate of Earth rest on your shoulders, but the fate of the battle between light and darkness….”

 

*~*~*10 min. later after all the explanations*~*~*~

 

“Well, we are nearing out destination. This door will lead you to your teammates.” Koenma finished and pushed Yusuke through.

 

Bursting through the door, he slicked back his hair.

 

“Yo. The name's Yusuke Urameshi and I'll be your commander.”

 

“What?! That punk's gonna be our commander?! We're doomed!”

 

Yusuke narrowed his eyes at the hanyou. Koenma told him who his teammates were already. He was a bit surprised that Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara were there and shivered. It was like the spirit detective thing all over again. The hanyou who spoke out…what was his name? Oh yes, Inuyasha was it? The name was popular in the FCC. He and eight others supposedly defeated Onigumo.

 

Well, Inuyasha wasn't anything he expected. Yusuke vein popped and walked angrily towards the Hanyou, landing a solid blow on his head that sent the unfortunate guy crashing into the ground (much like the sits Kagome does).

 

Kurama and Hiei looked on in amusement at the hanyou who was taking a beating from their ex-leader and now commander. Looking back now, they realized how much they missed working as a team. Sesshoumaru tried to conceal a smirk but failed terribly. It was too much like his baka brother to blurt out his thoughts unwittingly.

 

Miroku hurriedly clapped a hand over Inuyasha's mouth before he could insult Yusuke any longer.

 

“Sorry about that. Our friend here is a little rash…but the rest of us aren't!” Miroku hurriedly explained and waved at the direction of Shippou and Souta. “Don't mind Inuyasha…his bad judgment rubs off on us. Anyways…”

 

“Oh my god! Aren't you Yusuke Urameshi?! THE Urameshi that led those three and a few others -“ Shippou exclaimed, gesturing at Kurama, Hiei and Kuwabara. “ - at the dark tournament! I've heard of you!”

 

Yusuke's puffed up with pride momentarily before deflating.

 

“What?! That punk is THE Urameshi that led the SD team at the dark tournament? BWAHAHAHA! You've got to be kidding me!” Inuyasha bit out, rolling on the floor with laughter. Miroku was currently nursing his poor slobber drenched hand. Hiei and Kurama were watching, failing miserable at hiding their amusement with the whole situation.

 

Yusuke glowered. “That's ultimate punk to you. But, I think I'm the commander around here, so address me with respect!”

 

Sesshoumaru addressed the team after watching Inuyasha getting beaten up again, “As commander Yusuke, you must refrain from beating up your teammates. Now that you are done fighting, follow me. I will take you to the team's other half. Hopefully, if you all past the last test, you will find out the purpose of this whole thing."

 

Sesshoumaru strolled out the room. The eight boys followed, Yusuke in the front, leading Hiei and Kurama, followed by Shippou and Souta. Miroku and Inuyasha were last, Miroku being busy whacking Inuyasha on the head with his staff and saying that his stupidity and rashness was going to get him killed.
