Part 1

     Here is the simple truth.  Every nightmare is real. Monsters DO exist.  there IS good and evil, and I am here to help you. My name is Kato.  I am a warrior of a sort.  The Warrior of Earth, and I am here to defend this world.  I'm not sure how many individuals like me exist, but I hope there are a lot because based on what I have seen we will need them.  Let me clarify here.  I don't quite believe in a heaven, just in a hell.  We are alone in our struggle, and I have not once been aided by an angelic being.  Yet, I was chosen.  The question remains...by whom?

 

       As always there is only one place to start, the beginning.  I am, or was, your typical kid.  Go to school, look at hot girls, go home, and play Call of Duty on my Xbox.  Physically I was average.  Mentally I was average.  I was a nobody.  Having my entire life torn to shreds and then rebuilt was definitely NOT my life plan.  January 16th, and it is the night before my 18th birthday.  It was a great day and I recall every detail of the last day with my family.  Dad got home from work early to eat dinner and Mom had made ice cream cake.  Betty, my sister, thought I was annoying from her 21 year old college perspective, but even she was nice that evening.  We ate dinner and cake, watched a movie, and I went to sleep feeling happy and anticipating the next day...how foolish of me.

       I woke up amid chaos.  All around me I saw darkness.  I was in the middle of a field with waist high grass surrounding me.  I was on my back and the sky was completely black.  Not a single star could be seen, and the only light was a dull glow that pervaded from one direction.  It was storming and dark ominous trees surrounded me.  I tried to get up and a searing pain shot through my body.  My vision started darting in and out as I looked down only to see my body glow with a light as white as a thousand suns.  A sharp pain rippled through my skull and the darkness took me.

 

       When I woke up I felt different.  I had a blasting headache and my body felt like it was drained of energy.  I got up and noticed I was completely naked, yet I wasn't burned or hurt in any other way.  The raging storm had abated, but it was still pitch black out with a dull red glow in the distance.  Rising, I stumbled from tree to tree fighting my knee' urge to give out until I spotted a cabin in the middle of the woods.  I continued towards it and was struck by a sense of misgiving.  The house looked brand new, although it was apparent that no one was home.  I entered the front doorway and to the right of me there was a small black table trimmed with gold.

 

       The table had a single note written in golden ink that read, "You have been chosen." Ominous right?  I pushed the note to the back of my mind and continued to explore the house.  It was immaculate.  One thing that struck me was that there were no lights.  there was something illuminating the rooms but there was not a source.  I continued around until i stumbled into the bathroom and took a look at myself.  What I saw was crazy.  I looked physically perfect.  Every muscle in my body was etched in perfect defined detail.  My skin was flawless, and I had grown a few inches to be about 6'4".  All of my hair was gone but it was already growing back a radiant gold color with a streak of pure black.  I had brown hair.  As i pondered over this development I stumbled even further into the bedroom.  It was incredible.  The bed looked and was soft as a cloud, and was twice the size of a king-sized bed.  Opening the wardrobe in the room I found close-fitting clothing that all fit perfectly on my body.  Very strange.  The funny part is that I was still trying to rationalize what was happening.  "Maybe I've been abducted by aliens" or "Maybe it is a dream."  I continued through the house and noticed a vault with a solid steel door.  The door is huge, about 15x15 and had, "War Room" written on a sign above it.  I pushed the vault door open as if it were weightless, and it swung on silent hinges.  Inside was a striking sight.  Weapons were EVERYWHERE.  On the walls, on racks. on tables, and everywhere in between.  All kinds of stuff.  Here is a list of some:

 

-Katnas

-Longsowrds

-M1911's

-Remington Model 700 XCR's

-Flail

-Spears

-Greek Fire pots

-Grenades

 

       and much MUCH more.  Another interesting discovery is that every item had multiple versions wrought in different metals.  Even the bullets had multiple metals.  The only metals I could identify at the time were gold, silver, and steel.

 

       Needless to say, I was freaking out.  weird stuff was happening and I wanted to run out of there and back home.  As I made my way towards the door I froze in terror.  On the table by the door was another note.  Written in blood-red in...wait no...written in blood.  IT said, "Touch me for the truth".  So being the the moron I am I touched it.

       What I saw I cannot begin to explain fully, nor do I remember it all.  I saw the Earth being created  by Volcanic eruptions, I saw Hitler's armies storming across Europe, I saw the planes fly into the World Trade Center in NYC, and many other tragic events.  That is when I heard the voice for the first time.  it was deep and guttural, somewhere between an animal's growl and a human's murmur.  What he said was...disturbing.

 

*"Witness the POWER.  Is it not perfect?  Welcome Kato, gaze upon the destruction.  It is nothing compared to what you will be a part of.  I am the bringer of Darkness and YOU will be my CATALYST!"

 

*[Pain]*

*[Blackness]*

 

     I came back into reality gasping for air and in a panic.  I could not believe what I had just seen.  "Who in the hell was that" I thought.............
