Aníranger

Pt 1
The Aní

Prologue:

In the days before man had rational thought, before he could make fire, tools and reason; there lived a race of beings, known as the Aní. These peoples were a warrior race of human like creatures, though far superior to what we were then. They lived in tribes, separate from each other, though how intelligent and smart they were, they were still a warring race.
These tribes were over looked by a mystical, god-like beast, the Animas they were called, looked over and protected their tribe and gave them power. Each of the tribe’s warriors would channel the Anima’s power to themselves, and they would become very mighty. Though, only the ones who could have a deep connection with the Animas would become the most powerful of leaders.

Once, in the last days of the Aní, there was a true leader, a true warrior that led the winged tribe of Aní. She was a powerful leader that considered her Anima a personal friend, instead of fearing and cowering under them, as so many leaders had done before. She had a grave and beauty that reflected itself on the battle field, but even as skilled and powerful a warrior she was, under her reign there was a unified peace. All of the Aní, and even those who weren’t of her tribe, looked up to her and respected her, and she created a unification of all the tribes, so that all of the leaders ruled together and their tribes were as one.
In these days the Anima were closer to them, as never before, and they freely trusted the Aní with their powers.

The end of the peace came with a rapid war of fire and darkness that engulfed all of the Aní into bloody battle. A tribe of Aní long ago, if they could be called Aní, separated themselves from the rest, they abandoned their Anima, and they relied upon themselves, and thought of themselves as Gods. When they left, they fled to a solitary island and created extravagant works of technology that surpassed even the Aní. These traitors’ names were the Scelus. Many generations later, the philosopher Plato would write about them as the Atlantians, and how their island was engulfed by the ocean.
They lived for many centuries separated from the Aní, not fighting them, but teaching their children that they were idiotic fools, who worshiped unreal spirits. They lived evil lives of demonic worship and self delusion. One day, the spirits must have had enough, but they engulfed the Scelus in their own demons, and turned them into evil spirits, women, children, and all were now demonic spirits of all colors shapes and sizes, but they were united in an effort to kill all who made them this way, and they blamed the Aní. They went out and inhabited bodies of all kinds of giants and monsters to face the Aní.

On the eve of the dark war, the Scelus attacked an Aní village that was inhabited by many families, women, and children. They killed them mercilessly .This sent the Aní warrior and the Scelus demons into a war that would virtually wipe out everything on the face of the earth.
Only the determination of the Aní leaders drove them through it, so they could defeat the Scelus.
They could not kill the Scelus demons but using the strength of the Animas they sealed them away for what was to be an eternity. This cost them their powers and their lives, for they could not exist without the Scelus. They had formed a bond of their souls, but they did it to let their children, humanity, live and be prosperous. Only knowing that one day, even if it took until the end of time, would come when they would be reborn, along with the Scelus

Chapter One

Byrd woke up to a cloudy morning, another boring day to look forward to. She got out of bed and went into the kitchen. Smelling food she sat down at the table.

“What’s for breakfast ma?” she asked, rubbing the crud out of her eyes.

“What do you think?” her mother replied

“Not eggs again, we’ve had them for three days strait.”

“Well we can only afford to keep the chicken around, and there won’t be much else until harvest.” Her mother replied tiredly “Now go get dressed, you need to help your father.”

“Yes ma’am.” she said as she went off to change.


Byrd walked out the door, into the humidity. It was a very dreary day; the smog from the factories covered much of the sky in a grey haze. She had not seen sunlight in two weeks. She walked out into the fields trying to find her father. Unsuccessful, she just waited there, thinking that he’d probably show up sooner or later. She dozed off to sleep, the air was very warm.

When she woke she stared down at the village wall, there were great Scelus guards at the gate. They were in an argument with a group of men down by the village gate.

“What do they want?” she wondered to herself impishly.

Her question was answered as one of the guards lifted a gigantic sword and slashed a village elder into pieces. Her eyes became huge.

The lead guard signaled to the others behind him and they marched in to the village. A small man stepped in front of them trying to stop them but they threw him aside like a piece of garbage. Then she recognized the man, it was her father.

“NO!” she screamed at the top of her lungs.

She was paralyzed in fear, grief, and hatred. She couldn’t move a pinky. They were coming closer, smashing to rubble everything in their way. She did not know how she did it, but she gathered the courage to run. Or had it been plain animal instinct?

She ran behind a large bush, cowering from the terror, fearing for her own life.


It felt like she had been there for an eternity, watching as the village below was being destroyed. Just to think, this very morning, she was worried that she was going to have eggs again. What would she have given now to have her father back? She would have gladly eaten eggs for the rest of her life to have him back. She sobbed a deep heart felt cry; as if a piece of her heart was being ripped from her very soul.

She must have sat there crying for hours; the sun was beginning to set.

“Is that her?” she heard a voice speak behind her.

“Yeah, it is… I’ll go talk to her, you three go handle the situation down there.” Another voice spoke.


She turned around, and saw no one there, there were at least two voices, but she didn’t see anyone.
She turned back around, and she became face to face with a golden armor clad behemoth. She nearly had a heart attack and she fainted. When she came to her senses, the armored man was staring right at her, or at least the eyes from behind the helmet were. She tried to get away but the man spoke.

“Wait, I’m… we’re here to help you.” He spoke

“Yyyy...you’re human” she spoke in a shaky voice.

“Yea, last time I checked”

“So what are you doing with me here?” she asked him

“Well, at the present moment, my friends are fighting those Scelus grunts down there.”

“What!?” She was flabbergasted; no one had ever tried to defy the Scelus before. “You guys are trying to fight off the Scelus?”

“Well we’re more than trying… looks like they’re about done." And indeed, the other three warriors were destroying the Scelus, like they were ants.

This wasn’t exactly a difficult excursion. We weren’t expecting to run into this little skirmish. The main reason we came here was to get you.” He continued.

“Skirmish...what...no…massacre…what ME!?”

“Uh yeah you… don’t you remember anything?”

“Remember what?” she asked him out flat. The other armor clad warriors were walking back up.

“Oh no…” he muttered

“Guys, we might have a problem here…”He spoke to his friends. “It looks like she hasn’t woken up yet.”

“What, woken up… woken up what?” she asked him, she was utterly confused.

“Well it all goes like this…”

He went on to tell here the whole story of the Aní and how they got the powers (he told her the Prologue.)

After the long explanation, she was stunned and a little tired, it was already night by now, and they had made a fire and sat around it. They were all still armored.

“Okay… so I’m supposed to be this all powerful warrior…” she said

“um yea…” he said “WAIT… we haven’t even introduced ourselves… no wonder you are confused.”

“I’m Adam…and this might help…” he said as his armor disappeared in a shower of gold sparks.

“This is Nick” he said introducing a tall guy in silver armor, whose armor disappeared like the other.

“This is Natalie” Her blue armor disappeared, revealing a pretty, tan woman.

“And last but not least, Dante” The dark armor likewise disappeared, revealing a scowling, long haired man.

“And we know you are Byrd.” He said matter-of-factly

She sat there in the warmth of the fire, delved deep in her thoughts, trying to sort this all out. She was still fresh with pain and sorrow, but some how she believed these strangers. She had never met them before, but she had a strong feeling that they were trustworthy.

“Well we’ll let you sleep on it, and we all can go down to the village, and you can make your decision then.” He said to her.



It dawned that morning, the sun shown brighter than she had ever seen it.

They walked down into the village, inspecting all the damage that had been caused by the Scelus. They reached the heart of town, nothing was left standing.

“Ok, you have to make your choice right now, stay in this abandoned place, or you can help defeat these evil creatures that did this.” Said Adam

He handed her a small metal box that contained two bright crystals.

“Its either this,” he said, pointing to the box, “or you can stay here in this wasteland, with these Scelus scum.”

“Scum are we?” A voice rang out from the sky.

A giant winged humanoid figure flew down from the sky, in one hand he was holding a bright green sword and the other, he was holding Byrd’s mother. He was covered in a gleaming black and emerald armor, somewhat similar to the others'. His head was the only part of his body really showing, and that was enough. He had a dark grey skin, which was pealing in some places. Luckily most of his head was covered by an extravagantly decorated and horned helmet. From under all of that, his brilliant green eyes gleamed brightly as spotlights.

“NO! MOTHER!” screamed Byrd.

“Byrd, get out of here” screamed Adam “We’ll handle this.”

They all shown with a bright light, and they reappeared in their armor.

“Gael! Let that woman go!” Screamed Natalie

“You know what… I think I will” said Gael coolly as he let Byrd’s mother fall.

Nick ran as fast as he could to save her mother.

“Wolf Leap!” he screamed, forming a huge tornado behind himself, propelling himself upward, catching Byrd’s mother. He handed her to Byrd.

He said, “She has been injured badly take care of her!”

The battle that ensued was like nothing that Byrd had ever seen. Adam had pulled out a huge axe, and was taking out Scelus by the dozen. Natalie was fighting off three guards in hand to hand combat. Dante had disappeared and a hail of arrows was flying from where he was standing. Nick was running so fast that she could not see him. Though, even how hard they fought, Gael rose up and with one slash of his sword, all four of them were on their backs.

She turned her attention to her mother.

“Momma…” she said weakly.

“Dear, don’t worry about me…”

“No mom…”

“Byrd, remember the life your father and I always wanted you to have, remember how much we loved you.”

“Momma, I love you…” Byrd said, and with that her mother was gone.

Tears streamed down from her face. Through blurred eyes, she looked down at the metal box, and the crystals that it held. Suddenly she knew what she must do.

Fury poured out of her heart; she stared at her mother’s murderer and screamed.

“YOU! You will pay!”

Instinctively the words came to her, and she screamed,“Anima power, fill me! Aníranger power NOW!”

A flood of red light surrounded her, and the two crystals flew into each of her palms and a sphere of light appeared around her head.

She held out her right hand and yelled “Anima spirit fill me! Hawk!”

Held out her left. “Mecha spirit, bind me! Armor!”

The light on her forehead shown. “Human spirit, flow through me! Combine!”

She crossed her arms and all the lights unified as one, and energy flowed through her.

“Hawk Aníranger!” She screamed as she became an armored warrior like the rest.

She stared at the demon above, who stared back (Along with everyone else .)

“You will face your doom today!” She yelled up.

Energy surged through her body, Two great armored wings exploded from her body and she flew up to get eye to eye with the murderer.

“Are you prepared to die?” she asked him, and he only scoffed.

Her wings wrapped around her and she screamed.

“Hawk Wing Saber!”

A mighty sword appeared in her hands and she flew at Gael, striking him instantly before he had a chance to think. A massive wound bled across his chest, and his creature body died, the demon spirit escaped the body and disappeared. With this the rest of the Scelus fled in terror.

She landed and released the power, the armor faded. All of the others were around her, yelling praises of what she had done. Though, all she could look at was her mother’s body, and a stream of tears flew down her face. She collapsed from the weight of the emotions.


They buried her mother and father there outside the village walls, along with the other dead. Byrd remained silent for a long time afterward, but she vowed to get revenge on all of the evil demons who kill and destroy for evil’s sake, and to rid the earth from their presence once and for all.


She woke up one last time in the village she grew up in. With her new found companions, she looked back at her home one last time. She bid fare well, and they disappeared over the horizon.

[Mini Man]

This is a great beginning Phazon. The tension is nicely spread out through out the chapter. I like the different calls Byrd says. Can't wait for the next chapter.
