Chapter 1: The Arrival
Welcome to Gorod Grekha. The definition of the most superb metropolis in the modern day. It sprawls across several miles of land, almost becoming a city-state. Home to several millions of people that span across all spectrum. Rich, poor, politicians, civilians. You'll find everything here. But during the night? It's quite a sad story. The Mafia run almost all of the nightlife property. Nightclubs, bars, prostitutes, casinos, hotels. All laundering fronts. They own the police and several portions of the government. They made sure they could spread their vice and not have any interference. They keep their turf locked, as there are no rival gangs currently known. Ruthless and relentless, their leader, Vladmir Staponovich, will stop at nothing until all bow to him within the confines of the city.
The current year is 2015. We find Tengu at the young age of 20. He currently took up residence in the city, as he could no longer bare the burden of being reminded of his family's demise. There were no qualms of him living there. The people were friendly, as several of them he didn't even know helped get set up in his apartment, and pointed out some local stores and hot spots in the city. It would have seemed he was achieving some sort of inner peace. One night, he decided to out for some fun, as moving and his work kept him in a dull state of mind. He went to a club, Logovo Lust. He ordered some sake and turned to watch the entertainment. Sadly for him, some of Vladmir's muscle noticed him, and noticed he was new. Everyone had a price to pay for entering Vlad's little slice of heaven. They drug him outside and began beating him. To big white rhino's in business suits, pummeling him into submission. "Do you know where you are, panda?", one of them said in a thick Slovak accent. "G--..Gorod Grekha. What.. What did I do?", he replied, spitting up blood and coughing in between. "You must pay your due to Vladmir, then you will serve him however he sees fit. You understand, yes?", he asked firmly. Before Tengu could answer, a female voice shouted, thick in British, from behind them, "Oi! Leave the bloke alone, you cheeky bastards". They spun around and pulled out handguns, but she was one step ahead, and shot them both dead.
She was a fox, blondish orange fur, with just a little patch of white on her tail. She was clad in a Union Jack t-shirt, blue jeans that were roughed up, and a pair of Dock Martens on. Two pistols sit in a belt across her waist, an industrial through her ear, she looked like she was the type to not be trifled with. She knelt over Tengu, examining his wounds. "Who-who are you?", he asked, dazed from his wounds. "I am Arkham. I already know who you are. We need to move, because you're to bleed out if I don't get you home.", she stated. Tengu went unconscious for what seemed like only minutes. He awoke in a dark apartment, the smell of tea rife in the air. Tengu went to rub his face, only to then feel the bandages across his face. He removed them and, to his surprise, there were no wounds. He remembered some parts of the night he was beat, but not everything. "Good morning, you heavy bastard.", Arkham said jokingly. "What?", he responded. "Who do you think carried your heavy arse back after you passed out on me?", she went on to say, pouring the two some tea. Tengu nodded in thanks, and began sipping it down carefully. He examined the fox, who sat before him in a recliner, wearing these loose pajama pants and a Megadeth t-shirt. "A--..Arkham?", he asked. "That'd be me." she said, casually drinking her tea. "What happened here?", he asked firmly. She went on to explain how ever since the arrival of Vlad came, things started to descend. Although a brilliant businessman, Vlad is cunning, he is dominant, he is everywhere. Arkham also explained she had personal reasons for hating the man so much.
Tengu got up, and seen his duffle bag on the floor. "Go put some clothes on. We have much to discuss.", she stated firmly. Tengu put on his kimono, then his Doma-Ru, and tabi. He came back into the living room as he was tying his bandanna around his forehead. He looked, and seen she was gone. The window was open next to the recliner, giving a hint she was out. Tengu merely sighed and sat back on the couch. Before long, he drifted off. A terrible nightmare prevented him from getting too much sleep. But, as he awoke, he noticed a beeping noise. It was slow paced, faint, but it was there. Then, the door exploded into the room, along with 5 heavily armed officers. Tengu rolled off to the side and drew his Katana. As he waited around the corner, he held is sword up, ready to swing. As soon as his arms made it through, he chopped them in half, then stuck his sword around and stabbed him in the gut. He turned the corner and kicked the dead wolf off of his blade to the others, knocking them over. He picked up the M4 the wolf had, and shot them to death. Sadly, sirens began to wail off in the distance, and Arkham climbed back through. "I leave for one moment, one moment mind you, and you kill 5 bloody officers with a gun? In my house?!", she screamed. "Let's go.", she demanded, and they jumped out of the window. When they landed, she slapped Tengu across the face. "Next time, have some finesse, yeah?", she scolded. He bowed and moved onward, covering their advance.
She led him to an abandoned orphanage, where several cubs lay off all races. "We should be ok here. But, if you pull that shit in front of my babies, I'll smack the bloody piss right out of you.", she said, picking up a baby tiger. He bowed again and sat to meditate. This was all a bit much for him to take in, but at least he was safe, for now.
"Tomorrow, we begin the Crusade, so get some sleep, you heavy bastard.", she said laying down on a cot and nodding off. Tengu laid down after his meditation, and pondered on what was to come....... |
