Author Introduction: Time I told you where this story came from. The Legend of Keystone was originally an RPG simply called Keystone. A good friend of mine, Tryangle (think hard which character is his) came up with the idea and it was placed on what was back then my message board for a little corporation name SPAM inc. (No we didn't spam people we just had fun and liked the name). The RPG had been going well until it eventually died out and the SPAM inc. board shut down. Luckily Tryangle rescued the RPG from Internet purgatory in the hopes it may one day be continued. We tried to revive it once or twice but nothing worked so the idea was simply shelved. Until recently I had always wanted to rewrite Keystone as a story but kept putting it off. Now I finally have had Tryangle drag the old girl up from the depths of his hard drive and have begun the converting of an RPG into a story. Read after the story for some notes on the characters.

 

 

The Legend of Keystone

Chapter 2: Kini-Ahai

Since we have a keen interest in Tryangle as well as Rosa and Analisa we should follow them as they board the small jet stationed in front of the fortress. What an interesting model of craft this jet is. It appears to be some type of stealth craft built for carrying extra passengers. For now though let’s just watch the developments that follow, as we know they should be very interesting.

* * *

Analisa invited Tryangle to accompany her and Rosa back to their home in the Amazon. She knows Tryangle never spends much time in Earth Realm and has decided that there are a few things they need to speak of before he returns to his journeys. The craft they are on flies silently through the air as if it is carried by the wind itself rather than flying through it. Luckily, one of the perks of being involved in a special team like those defending the Realm Secrets, is the ability to fly in style, something she thinks she’ll never have any reason to complain about.

Tryangle has been looking at the veiw screen that shows the ground below since there are no windows, as they would shatter at the high altitudes. Looking away he speaks to Analisa in a calm almost nonchalant voice. “So, are the nations getting any closer to peace?

Analisa looks down at the sleeping Rosa in her lap thinking not for the first time how she wishes her daughter didn’t have to grow up in this hellhole of a world then sighs as she responds. “Wish I could say so. There seem to be a few rogue countries around still, that have sold out to evil forces...” Her voice softens some as this was the topic she wished to speak of, “ ...not necessarily human.”

Tryangle’s eyebrows rise in a questioning manner. He doesn’t like where this conversation is going. “I’m guessing there is a lot more to what you have to say to me about this.” Analisa nods in recognition of his perceptiveness and decides to continue.

“Yes there is. It seems that something has caused these...creatures I guess you could call them, to just appear. They are wreaking havoc all over the forest and its inhabitants.“ Tryangle nods for to continue. “Oddly enough, even though the amount of evil forces has increased dramatically over the past few days the people will not leave their homes and families.” Sighing she looks down at Rosa once more, “I don’t know how I can help them if at all.”

A small tear escape from her as she tries to hold back the thoughts of her people being slaughtered by the countless masses. She unthinkingly wipes it away with the back of her hand and continues. “The tales that have made it to my ears recently tell of those who have power enough to help us fight back.”

Tryangle raises a brow once more and slightly smiles. “Us?”

Analisa smiles in embarrassment as she realizes she just let it slip unknowingly that she wanted his help. “Well, I thought you might be able to help this once because I don’t think the effects of a long drawn battle will be good for people like...well, like Rosa.

“What do you mean?” A questioning look mixed with worry has replaced the calm expression of Tryangle’s face as he too cares greatly for the little girl.

“You know how much I care for the environment. And suffice it to say, the few villagers who have stood up to fight they seem to do more damage to us while fighting the enemy than the enemy does.” Analisa sighs as she thinks about the hundreds of miles of forest that have been destroyed by the reckless fighting.

“Ok, I’ll help...” Analisa looks in surprise at the smiling man beside her, “...but just this once.” He fixes her with another smile and a wink causing her to unthinkingly return the smile to him.

Looking at the view screen, Analisa sees miles of rainforest, the trademark of the Amazon region of South America where she grew up, and discovered her legacy as Kini-Ahai. Not all the memories of her enlightenment are pleasant but they are all vivid to her drifting mind. Her daydreaming is cut short when her vision changes from that of a serene landscape to a huge grotesque face peering into the camera lens of the craft.

Analisa shrieks at the horrible site of a creature she has never seen the likes of before. The scream immediately wakes Rosa who begins to cry loudly with tears spilling down her tiny face.

Tryangle gapes at the leering face on the view screen. “Holy shit....” He recognizes this creature. As if on cue, the roof of the jet caves in as a large humanoid creature crashes inside. Its large scaled legs unfold from beneath it making its full height of nearly eight feet clearly apparent. The creature’s long arms nearly touch the floor at the knuckles and it carries a large club in one hand. The face is even more grotesque than the view screen let on. A hairless brow juts our over pinpoint red eyes that seem to peer in every direction at once. Its misshapen jaw barely manages to close over razor like teeth. A large orange mane protrude from its scalp, the hair of which is crammed against the ceiling. Around its neck is a rune talisman, the talisman of fire.

Three more of these monsters land inside the passenger section of the aircraft. One begins to lurch down the aisle towards the cockpit. The demented snarling of the half-mad beasts is the only audible sound to the trio’s ears. Looking into the view screen Tryangle grabs the still crying Rosa close to him. Focusing, he along with Rosa disappear in a slight blur of light...

Analisa, in her infinite trust of her friend knows her daughter is safe, seizes her opportunity to get some revenge for those of her people who have died at the hands of creatures such as these. A glow of energy surrounds her as her eyes take on a red tint. Her jeans and pink T-shirt seemingly dissolve into the air as they are replaced with an elaborate form-fitting costume. Our friend Analisa now stands in a red skirt slit up both sides from which her long tanned legs extend into feathered boots of red, green and yellow. Her top has been replace by a green tank top that extends into loose straps over each arm. See through white silk extends from the straps to cover both arms until they attach to gold rings around her wrists. Around her neck is a gold and blue neck wrap decorated with a ruby jewel in the center. Around her waist is a gold chain that jingles as she takes a step towards the creatures in front of her.

“My name is Kini-Ahai. You will now pay for the heartbreak you have bestowed upon so many countless families. Upon this I swear.” As she finishes speaking a bright light fills the plane.

 

Authors Note: Please feel free to read and review as always. The characters soon to be introduced could cause some confusion much like Lita’s name does. Kusanagi shares no relation to my knowledge to the Blue seed character. His girlfriend was originally called Momigi also after Blue seed but I was forced to change her name to a new requested name by the creator to Kome. I have know idea where the name Kome comes from and share no responsibility if it has any relations to any previously created anime or other shows. I need to verify here a little bit more copyright information. All these characters are the creations of Inferno, Tryangle, SsjKusanagi, GodofCoolness, and Perfect Cell(PC) respectively. If you want to use any of the characters in this story please contact me for verification of use before you do anything chance are I will say yes. Until next chapter.... Momentai.
