Welcome to Dark Moon Shade: Volume 1 : The Opening Chronicle --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Volume consists of the first four chapters of the Dark Moon Shade Series, written by hamjammer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read the rest of the topic to read the story of a boy named Tsiro and his quest to save the world from the Dark Moon Shade. Meeting allies on the way, he searches for the Seven Lunar Arcanes with three Rogue Lunar Knights. The story begins now. Dark Moon Shade l : Lunar Frustration Every month since the begining of time each month has had two full moons. These blue moons brought great prosperity. There was a prophecy saying that one would have 3 full moons. The third one would not be like the others. It would be dark and darken all the stars in the sky. When this happens, the evil mage known as Honshu will rise. He is to take over the world. This day is known as the Dark Moon’s Shade. Prophacy also tells of a young male that will rise to stop this great evil. In the end the triumphant is…… The rest is scribbled out. Who is this young hero, and will he save the world. Only time can tell. We come in to two people training, an old man and a teenager. “Do it again Tsiro and put some effort into it this time,” the old man said. “I’m trying my hardest Bando! Sheesh I wish you would just leave me alone!” Exclaimed Tsiro. Tsiro attempts a backflip throwing his light sword and landing on the hilt. He messes up and ends up with a crotch shot. “Bwahahahaha, nice Tsiro! Bwahahahaha! “Shut up old man, the shit you put me through is insane! As if you finished any of this crap in two days!” said Tsiro, with pure hate. Bando executes the technique perfectly, pinning Tsiro hat to the ground with the old man meditating very calmly on top of the hilt. “And you were saying what my pupil? Listen to my words. Your anger will one day be one of your greatest weaknesses. Conquer it and nothing will bar you,” Bando lectures “Hmph whatever gramps. Words won’t help me perfect my training to become a Lunar Knight of Avol,” Tsiro said, shrugging off any afivce Bando offers up “Don’t worry Tsiro, you have plenty more years to perfect yourself. The LKA won’t miss one knight,” Bando lectures once more “Grrrrr, I’ve had it with all your damn lectures! You know t’s my deam to be one of the LKA! Don’t toss my dreams around like the are some toy! My anger will be the end of me huh! Well listen to this one old man. ILL BE THE END OF YOU! “ Tsiro shreiked. Before he could speak any further Bando cuts off. “Enough! For the shame you have brought on yourself, you are hearby banished from the Village of Musou and are to never to return. Ever! I’m very sorry but when you threaten your sensei, that’s when it ends,” Bando proclaims. “You can’t just kick me out. Who do you think you are!” exclaimed Tsiro. Drawing a hidden jacknife under his sleeve “I am Bando, the strongest Lunar Knight of Central Avol. By my sword you shall leave. Begone!" said Bando. With furocity of his sword and the flame in his eyes, Tsiro's hidden knife falls from his sleeve. He values his life over pride and flees the villiage. With Tsiro gone, what will he do now? His dream as a LKA member are crushed! And what of this so called prophecy? Is the Dark Moon Shade a hoax. Find out Next time:Dark Moon Shade ll : The Rogue of Avol .::Ars Amatoria::.

#2 Dark Moon Shade II: Rogue of Avol The Lunar Knights, an organization of great honor. The best warriors of Avol are all organized into this category of the elite. The LKA use an internal strength called Luna. Not only the LKA can use it, but it is proven that every member of the LKA use Luna. Luna allows you to use abnormal powers. In each section there is a captain over that section. One for the north, south, east, west, and central. There are seven founders of the LKA. They are known as the Lunar Arcanes. Although some aren’t associated with the LKA anymore, they are still revered for being the strongest of all Avol. Orare they….. Five years after Tsiro was banished from Musou, the LKA bases of central Avol are being attacked by a mysterious force! We come into Bando’s Office in Musou. He is conversing withj his four attendants. “WHAT!!!?? A whole base has been destroyed! That’s the fourth one already! The LKA of central Avol are going extinct!” Bando exclaimed, breaking his desk under his strength! “Captain Bando! If you will please stop yelling I can get to the urgent information I have collected.” “Yes I’m sorry. Please carry on” “Ok, here is the report of a survivor of one of the attacks. He said it’s a hooded figure. His attacks are faster than he has ever seen. He uses Dark Luna and with it killed his comrade with a black fire none like he has ever seen.” “This is quite troublesome. If another base is destroyed than I might need to take……” Bando was interrupted . “Captain Bando! Urgent news. Central Base #8 has been destroyed! Some scounts searched for anyone alive, but found nothing. However they found this note.” “Hand it over to me. It’s classified information now. Thank you knight!” Bando gasped “If you aren’t afraid to come and face me ‘Captain Bando’ then I will be coming to Musou in three days. In the afternoon before the sunset. Be there or have all of the Central LKA killed. Be prepared to give your best fight. With Hate Blaze “Just who is this Blaze! Obviously an alias but I cant help but think I know who this is!” Three days have passed and Captain Bando waits outside the gates to Musou. Bando is all armed and has brought his Aegis Blade. As he looks in the distance he sees a figure of a man approaching with Dark Luna all around him. Now doubt was this the man described. He looked like someone straight out of a nightmere. As the man removes his hood, Bando gasps as he mutters one word. ‘Tsiro!’ With Tsiro being someone responsible for the death of many in his section, how will Bando assess this situation! And why does Tsiro have Dark Luna! Stay tuned for the next volume for the ultimate fight between sensei and pupil! Next Time Dark Moon Shade III: Honshu Arise! .::Ars Amatoria::.

#3 Dark Moon Shade III: Honshu Arise! We come into Musou Field, where the mysterious Rogue has just revealed himself to be Tsiro, The Outcast of Musou. Bando stands awaiting to see what his old pupil is going to do. “Bando…… I WASN’T KIDDING WHEN I SAID I WAS GOING TO KILL YOU!” “Tsiro please wait and explain some things to me. Where in the world did you get Dark Luna and why are you annihilating the LKA in my region.” “Ok old man, your turn to listen to me. After I was banished five years ago, my anger grew so high that my heart set ablaze with Dark Luna. Then it came out of my chest. It was a living mass of Dark Luna. It offered me power to get revenge on you. I only had to let it nest in my body, and anyone I defeated, their soul was his. It made my power stronger. That’s why I killed the Lunar Knights of Central Avol. I also had to kill you before tonight. Otherwise it would leave my body and take my soul with. So that’s how I’ve come here to defeat you. Prepare to lose your soul Bando!” Tsiro’s eyes were a pure dark purple. His voice sounded unnatural. Something of a monster. “This…… this THING is not Tsiro. I’ve got to get to the bottom of this.” ,Bando thought. “Lunar Soul: Dark Blaze!” Tsiro suddenly became a flame with Dark Luna, fitting the description of the “Luna Beast”. His right morphed into a sword of pure Dark Luna! Trouble is ahead. “Try this on for size Bando! Headhunter: Dark Night!” Dark Luna flies out of Tsiro’s left hand and Bando’s face is covered in Dark Luna! Tsiro Slices Bando in half! “Light: Avenging Reincarnation!” The halves of Bando’s body turn into metal and into many needles and fly at Tsiro! The needles simply get deflected by his Luna. “Hmph old man, this isn’t just a display you know! Darkness: Lunar Weapon!” Tsiro practically teleports next to Bando and throws a punch that Bando simply blocks. His sword is lifted to strike through Tsiro’s Luna Barrier. Before the sword can even move Bando winces in pain! Blades of Dark Luna are protruding out of Tsiro’s hand through Bando’s arm! He slices out through Bando’s hand. “Go! Grappling Hand!” Tsiro yelled. His left hand’s fingers turn into spikes and detach from the arm! It hangs loosely by chain. He tosses it toward Bando. As expected Bando simply sidesteps it. In seconds he is wrapped in Dark Luna Chain! “Did you not see how fast I can run earlier. Pay the price!” Tsiro completely mutilates Bando! A deep inner voices speaks to Tsiro! “Where is the soul! Are you sure you killed that man!” “I know he’s dead! I watched myself mutilate him!” Tsiro yelled aloud. “Check again foolish one!” There was Bando the same as he was before he was sliced! With exception of his right arm. “B-b-but how! You are not human! None could survive that! “If you were listening instead of making an uproar you would’ve known I used Light: Sacrificial Life! However I had to give up a limb. Of course I got rid of my right because the hand was already useless.” Tsiro quickly dashes up and kicks him away! “Hmph, Captains should be better than this. Survive the strong attack but can’t even block a simply kick! The LKA is a joke! Think I should I end this.“ .::Ars Amatoria::.

#4 “Lunar Limit: Death Reaper! Go and get me his soul!” As a massive Reaper comes for Bando’s soul, Bando simply laughs. “Seems that he is needed! Aegis Sword: Sukeeto the Guardian of Light! Come forth!” The Aegis Sword shines as a massive man comes out of the sword, bigger than the villiage of Musou. “Ugh, what is it Bando. Need me to destroy this Dark Luna scum!?” “Sukeeto, leave him alone for now! The reaper is the problem at the moment! If I come in contact with him I’m a dead man!” Bando explained. “Leave it to me old friend! I can take both out! Lunar Limit: Pure Light Arrow!” Sukeeto launches an arrow out of no where and completely destroys the Reaper and hits Tsiro in the shoulder! “Ugh, I……I………gwaaahhhh!” Tsiro fell to the ground! “I think its over Sukeeto. You did it! Lets hope hes not dead though!” “Why Bando? Why do you care for that Dark Luna scum!” Sukeeto said, concerned. “Because he was being possessed by a monster!” Tsiro slowly gets up with the Dark Blaze still around him. In fact even stronger. “I’ve had it with you! Always showing me up! Time for me to come out on top! Lunar Limit: Dark Nova!” Tsiro simply launches a blazing ray of Dark Luna at Bando! Sukeeto tries to defend but is simply blown apart and goes back into the Aegis Sword. Bando is directly hit! Bando is felled and lays on the Earth ablaze. A light Luna Soul flies out of his body. The Luna being inside Tsiro comes out and takes the soul! Suddenly a the third full moon appears in the sky! “Ugh what happened? Huh how did I get so tall and strong, and why is Bando ablaze over there!” Tsiro said, obviously confused. “Fool! I have finally collected fifty Lunar Souls! That fool over there was the last one! With the third moon out now its time to get the show on the road!” The Lunar Being was talking! Tsiro’s story was true. Well possessed Tsiro. “Ts--Tsiro…. Come here” “Bando I’m so….” “Quiet! Listen to me for once. I’m going to pass away soon. One hell of a attack that was. Take my four remaining knights and run into the forest. There you can get acquainted. That Being over there is going to summon Honshu, The Lord of Evil. Go and search for the seven Lunar Arcanes. Get all of their powers. When Honshu is summoned he is weak he take over anybody he can find and use it till he is stronger. Only with the power of the Arcanes can you harm him. Now go with your new companions and take the Aegis Blade with you!” Bando explained. .::Ars Amatoria::. Credits for sigs go to gy6tera7 (top), -_yondaime_- (bottom) Ava: gy9tera7

#5 The moon had just turned the darkest purple ever. Hell was ready to break loose! “I Sacrifice my soul to use this technique to summon Lord Honshu! Apocalypse: Dark Moon Shade!” The Being chanted “You four lets go” As Tsiro and the last four LKCA (Lunar Knights of Central Avol) retreat, the moon beamed down a human like none other! His hair was aflame with Dark Luna! He was a tall bulky man of Hell! Wearing regal clothing, he phased in Bando! Seeing how gruesome this form is, Tsiro is afraid to come back to fight this being! With Bando passing away and being taken over by the newly summoned Honshu, Tsiro and his companions start to look for the Lunar Arcanes! The Prophecy came true! The Dark Moon Shade! Will Tsiro be able to beat this monster in the future! Next Time Dark Moon Shade IV: Marauders .::Ars Amatoria::. Credits for sigs go to gy6tera7 (top), -_yondaime_- (bottom) Ava: gy9tera7

#6 Dark Moon Shade IV: Marauders As the four Lunar Knights and Tsiro run, they turn to see the town of Musou being down to the Earth by Dark Luna. Instead of thinking about their families now gone, they focus on the fact that they are reaching the forest Bando instructed them to go to. None had said anything so Tsiro breaks the silence. “Well seeming that almost all of this is my fault, why haven’t ANY of you killed me.” “You carry the sword of my capitain. I saw you talking to him so you obviously didn’t kill and take it. The code says we serve under whoever rightfully ,” said one of the Lunar Knights “Well Bando told me to find the seven Lunar Arcanes, and I’m going to need some help. So lets all get acquainted then talk about some game plans.” Right away the tallest one stood up. He wore armor of the greatest silver. The armor in his wrist area had curved blades protruding from them. He had a fine silk cape. It was green and the edges were gild with gold. He had a huge sword with a gild hilt. “Ransinq is the name and melee is my game. Not only do I just massacre people with my huge cutter here, I also have other weapons. See these here slits in my gautlets?” As he pointed to them, he flicked out claws of blood-stained silver. “I kill my prey with these here claws and some Lunar Techniques, but hell I don’t have all day to boast! Get up here Shou!” Compared to Ransinq, Shou looked like someone you would find on the streets begging for crumbs. He had the usual LKA armor. Only thing unique about Shou was his arm. There were gems studded into the arm of his armor and his gauntlet. “My name is Shou. These gems may look fancy like Ransinq over there, but they aren’t. You see these aren’t for decoration. They are simple tools. Can be bought at any common weapon smith. They are basically empty gems. I charge them with my Luna to make them glows. Then with all the energy around in a dense location, I can simply can do this!” Just as he said it, Light Luna flows of his Lunar Crystals. They flow in into a fine point. Then it stops. Tsiro couldn’t help but ask. “Well that’s pointless! What does that do!?” Shou swings the concentrated Light Luna at at ree next to him and felled it! “My technique is called Lunar Weaponry. You used it in your fight with Bando, but alas you were possessed so how would you know? Get up here Krazen!” Shou demanded. A man in simple leather and silk clothing stood up. No armor at all. He had a simple short sword on him. “As the muscle head over there said Krazen. Yeah I don’t have any armor. Just slows me down. Plus I don’t plan in getting into hand to had combat anytime soon. I just have the short sword in case. Basically what I do for armor is a I have a thin layer of Luna around me by manipulating it. So I’m really a Lunar Mage. Observe.” Krazen started to slowly glow! So that’s the Lunar armor. Out of no where a tree bursts into flames, then freezes over! “What the hell! How did you do that!?” Tsiro said, with ignorance. “Well I can tell that you’re a bad listener. I manipulated some of the Earth Luna in the tree to Fire Luna. Thus setting it ablaze. Then the ice I changed the humidity around the tree to Ice Luna freezing it over.” Krazen said, showing Tsiro up completely. “Ugh well there’s one more. Get up here bud don’t be shy,” said Ransinq.. They all turned eyes to him. He was emitting Dark Luna. Ransinq chopped in half and he evaporated into Dark Luna and flew up to the Dark Moon Shade. “What the hell is going on!” Tsiro exclaimed. “Honshu must have planted some Dark Luna in him when we ran from Musou. His body couldn’t handle that power so it ate him out till he was nothing.” Ransinq explained. “Ok understandable. Ugh he could’ve been of some help too. Oh well. Now that we are acquainted the quest for the Arcanes has to begin now! It won’t be easy cause all of the LKA think I’m evil. They’ll think you are too if you are with me. We’ll just be simple marauders. Yeah I like that. We’ll be known as the Marauders. Anyone know where any Arcanes are?” Tsiro asked. Krazen took center stage. “I served under Arcane Balen. He might be in the Moonlight Mountain Range up in Northeast Avol. I say we head there first.” And with some intention of what they are doing, The Marauders head off on the beginning of their quest for the Arcanes. What challenges will they meet on the way there.

#8 Nice story, I hope you continue this, the fighting scenes are vivid, and the vocabulary used is excellent, but I think certain sentences that end with an exclamation point should probably have a period; but this story is defiantly good!

#11 Yeah I agree with Shino, its good but maybe there's too many !s The fight scene between master and pupil was good, very well set up - and the ideas behind it are great :) Some of the dialogue seems a little...um, like when that guy died and they were like "Oh well", you know? And it could do with a proof-read as I noticed some minor typos and sentences that were missing a word or didn't end :) But that's more on the technical side of things, everyone does that, so nothing major All in all, I liekz it :) My Showcase Quote by FatDog Vaseline, the solution to all of life's problems, including TAI-ONLY situations JM || Ars || *is Ari's Kami-Sama*
