Chapter 1 - Blast From The Past.

(A time manipulation with a little fantasy. Starring Altair and OC)

Redstriker sat at her office desk, resting her head on her hands, idly looking outside at the beautiful day. Sun was shinning, the trees outside her window were swaying casually back and forth, oh how she longed to be outside. Taking a glance at the floor were the shadows of the trees dances along it, almost hypnotising as she stared at it for a brief time. She let out a heavy sigh and looked annoyed at the desk and side tables that consisted of papers full of information, maps, items that required her attention, bills, books and anything else that came with the title of being the CEO of Striker National.

After a short while of staring blankly at the desk, she stretched letting out a yawn and got up to walk over to the window. "It's been oddly quiet today" Thinking to herself. No one had entered her office to add to the growing pile of papers that she seemed to always be behind on. Her children haven't come running in yelling or screaming or crying about someone doing something to the other. Considering that it should probably be taken as a good thing that all was quiet, Something seemed to be out of place. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, but the question was what?

Pacing back and forth she thought of what could possible be nagging at her. Frustration begin to set in as several ideas came into her head and were just as quickly dismissed. Finally she decided that she was just over thinking and needed a break away from the pile of papers that threaten to consumer her if she were to bump into the desk by mistake.

Stretching once more she decided it be best to take a walk and look for her children. They must be plotting some kind of trouble if it been this quiet and it was only a matter of time before one of them came running to her or she caught them in the act of something.

~~~~~~~~~

Renni ran up to one of the younger twin brothers she had. "Mom and Dad is going to be mad that we wandered out this far without telling them."

Jack shrugged at the statement. "Mom's busy in her office and Dad's working at the hospital, they won't notice we're gone, and if they did.... What possibly could happen to us in the safes city in the world?"

Renni considered that point. They did played in the forest often enough and nothing really bad had happen expect for that one time Thorn thought it would be funny to throw a rock at a bees nest thinking the bees would chase after his bother and sister and not him. "Jack... Where's Thorn?"

"He ran into that cave about 10 minutes ago"

"Is he crazy?!, Why didn't you try to stop him?"

He bursted into laughter. "You can't stop Thorn from doing anything, and I wasn't about to enter that scary looking cave."

Taking Jack by the hand she pulled him into the cave. "We can't have him wandering around in the dark and what if he gets hurt?" Her lips curved upwards a little. It would serve him right if he did get hurt going into a cave without any light source. Putting her left hand out, she concentrated till a small flame danced in the palm of her hand.

Jack looked at her hand in awe. "I wish I could do that"

"You'll come into your ability soon. Though who knows what ability it'll be, If I had to guess it would probably be more like Dad's."

Jack's eyes lite up and he smiled, Renni rolled her eyes and continued on.

They walked further into the cave. Jack was right, it was a creepy cave. There were lots of cobwebs and the ground squashed beneath their feet. She noticed some metal cups on the walls in some areas. They came up to what seems to be a door. Renni called out while Jack remained a few steps behind her. "Thorn.... Are you there?" Silence was the only answer she received. Cautiously she stepped towards the partly opened door.

Before she reached open the door, the door flung open slamming on the stone wall. In the doorway stood a shadowy figured with a sword drawn above their head. Renni let out a scream and stumbled backwards causing the flame to go out and Jack jump and let out a scream of his own.

A few seconds later, all that could be heard was the sound of metal hitting the ground and a hysteric laughter. Thorn turned on his L.E.D light pen and pointed a finger at Renni while wiping the tears from his eyes with the hand that held the pen. "Man you should have seen your face! That was priceless! I wish I could have taken a picture!" His laughter turning into giggling.

"Ha ha, very funny Thorn." She glared at him, which made him laugh even more. "Where did you find that sword?"

Giggling again he pointed into the room he had come from. "From in there, this place is awesome! There is also this metal ball and a book too. I think someone must have lived here."

Renni got up and tried to wipe the muck off the back of her pants. "That's stupid. Why would anyone live in a cave? Did you see a bed in there or a kitchen?" She walked into the room. It was small with a few broken shelves. In the corner she saw what looked to be a skeleton. "Please tell me that isn't where you found the sword." She then headed towards the book next to the metal ball and opened it. "I can't read what these words say, should we take it back to mother?"

Jack walked over and picked up the ball. "Its too dark down here, we should take them outside, so we can see them better."

Thorn picked up the sword and started idly swinging it like he saw his mother once do. "Isn't it awesome! I agree with Jack. Lets take them outside, and who wouldn't want to live in a cave? It's like the perfect hiding spot. You can hind in the shadows and jump out at people that come in."

Renni closed the book and picked it up, it was heavier then she expected. "Be careful with that thing! Your going to hurt someone or yourself doing that" she took a glance around once more. "Let's get out of here."

Thorn laughed "awe is Renni scared of the dark" replied in a mocking tone, pointing the sword at her.

Renni glared at him again. "No, but Mom is bound to get worried about us if we don't return home soon, and I would rather not get yelled at again because you two decided to run off. After all I am in charge of you both."

Thorn let out a snort. "That's only because your 3 years older then us."

"No, its because I'm far more responsible then you two" as she turned to leave.

A short while later they made it out of the cave, each with an item in hand. Thorn gasped at his sword as he admired it in the sunlight. "It looks even cooler in the light! I wonder why there's a plus sign on both sides of the handle?"

Renni corrected him "its not a handle. It's called a hilt." She took a closer look at the plus sign. "And that doesn't look like a plus sign. It looks like a T."

Thorn snorted. "It's not a hilt, it's a handle. Like a cup has a handle because you hold it in your hand. duh, and it's not a T, it's a plus sign! All the edges are the same size."

Renni rolled her eyes. Her little brother was stupid sometimes and couldn't be reasoned with.

Jack was admiring the smoothness and shininess of the metal ball. "I wonder what this was for? It looks expensive." He held it up to the sun that made it appear to glow. "Um... Is it just me or does it look like it's glowing?" He looked at the ball in awe.

Renni and Thorn looked at the ball. It did appear to be glowing and it was becoming brighter.

Jack started to cover his eyes from the brightness but dared not to drop the ball from his hand.

"Jack what did you do?!" Renni cried out in a panicked voice.

"I didn't do anything!" The light now blinding them all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moments past, what seemed like an eternity. There was no sound, only light and soon the color came back to their world. Renni and her bothers were sitting on the ground, she blinked repeatedly in an attempted to focus her vision. She saw her bothers doing the same. She looked at the ball and then around her. They where still in same spot they had come out of the cave. Something white in the distance caught her eye. She looked to her bothers who had noticed it too and were staring at it. She stared at it trying to make out what it could be. Then it moved and got up, his back to them. Her eyes widened, A man?! In white robes, he seemed to be looking something, as she thought to herself.

"um..... Sir? Did you drop something?" She asked in a rather nervous tone to which seemed to startle the strange man as he tensed and turned to look at them. She then noticed he had a sword on his waist and was clenching the hilt of it. His stare sent a chill down her back. He withdrew the sword and pointed it at them and said something they didn't understand. "I'm S-Sorry sir... I-I didn't understand w-what you said." She tried to steady her voice but failed to.

He stared at them for a few moments before he spoke again. "Fifthly Templars. Hand over the Apple and I may just let you live." He had a strange accent in his voice. He started to slowly walk towards them.

Renni could not will herself to move. She didn't know what to do. She didn't understand why he wanted to kill them. The threat had paralysed her while she tried to make sense of how this was happening.

Thorn got up and stood in front of his older sister, sword drawn. It shook a little as he wielded it. "S-stay b-back!" He warned the man in a rather unwarning tone.

The man did not stop and chuckled. "You dare to threaten me. When you, yourself can not wield a blade." He begin to lift his blade to strike.

Thorn's eyes grow wide, as he raised his sword to block.

~~~~~~~~~~

The man was about to swing down when what appeared to be fiery arrows coming towards him from his right. He jumped back and dodged them, to jump to the left to dodge another round of three arrows and was barely able to miss the next round of arrows as one grazed his left shoulder and set his robe alight. He quickly patted it out though it did burn him. His sword was drawn in the direction the arrows came from. He watched as a red haired woman appear in to sight and stood in between him and the Apple.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Redstriker not taking her eyes of the stranger asked. "Renni, Thorn, Jack? Are you guys alright."

Renni relieved to see her mother. "y-yes, we're alright." She and Jack got to their feet and stood closely behind their mother.

"Good. I want you to find a safe place to hide, while I deal with this intruder. Do not leave it, till I call for you."

"Understood" they all said at once and Renni lead the boys back to the cave the had just been in with the items in tow.

"Who are you and what do you want with my children?" She pointed at him in a demanding voice. She didn't get an answer and was barely able to dodge the sword swing to her left as she summon her sword to block it. She didn't expect him to be so quick, this could prove to be a challenge.

The man jumped back, sword ready. "What sorcery is this?!" He glimpsed at her sword that appeared to be on fire.

"I will not ask again" she said as she took a defensive stance.

"I will reveal nothing to you, Templar." Running for in for an attack.

The moment of confusion wiped from her face as she blocked his first attack and countering with a kick to the stomach. He hit the ground with a grunt, rolled and was back on his feet to block her attack with the ringing of steel, he countered by swinging his and her sword down to hit her leg and sweeping her off her feet. She landed on her back, rolled and got back to her feet. They stared at each other in silence sizing up each other. Both clearly underestimating one another. Redstriker was the one to make the next move and after a few swings managed to get a hit on his right arm. He felt a burning sensation but in the process he was able to land a hit on her left leg. Both seemed to ignore the pain, both to focused to on their opponent. Each exchanging kicks and punches to one another, Redstriker landed a good blow to the right side of his stomach. It sent him stumbling to his left momentarily. He recovered and dodge her next blow, twisted himself into a position and preceded to get a slash across her back. Both again stare at one another for a few moments, each noticing each others fatigue. This time the man was the first to attack, slashing the left side of her arm while she was able to hit the left side of his leg. He punched her in the stomach hard enough to send she falling back and knocked the air out of her lungs, as he was going for the final blow. Her eyes grow wide in disbelief. It didn't seem possible, she knew no one that was able to best her in fighting and here she was facing death head on. She cursed to herself, having a hard time breathing, as she could only watch in slow motion his sword rising up.

He saw the shock in her eyes. Pleased that this fight was finally over with, he did not hesitate to finish this. He raised the sword up but before he could swing the sword down he felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder that sent him stumbling forward. Regaining this balance he turn to face a blonde haired man that was smiling and waving at him. A moment of confusion covered his face. The man didn't seem worried at all as he casually walked towards him. Suddenly his world around him began to sway. Confusion returned as he dropped his sword and put both hand on his knees desperately trying to keep on his feet. The last thing he saw was the man bending down to help up his a opponent while blackness consumed his eyes.
