A large cruise ship pulls into the country where the battle between MakenZero and NekamOrez was fought. First passenger spoke, “So we finally arrived.” The other companion nodded in agreement, “Yes, it was a long voyage from where we came.” There was a man standing at the railing, looking out to sea. He was dressed in lightly tan cargo pants, with a skin tight white shirt, a light jacket having the sleeves rolled up, and finally he completed the look with his small sunglasses, long shaggy bleached hair, carrying a wrapped sword. He overheard the conversation and smiled. “Long? Long indeed it has been tens years since I saw this place.”

On a hot summer day, Maken blocks Makenzie’s stroke from the practice sword. “Close, try a little harder.” “I’m not done yet,” she swings and rapidly attacks at him. Swipe sitting on some boxes fanning himself. “Hey what are you two doing in the heat? First you’re training Makenzie. You’re not planning on passing on your skills without teaching me first?” “Oh I’m not teaching her any of my techniques.” He looked over at Swipe, “What?!?” Makenzie swung at Maken, and he blocked it. “I thought that’s what you are doing?” She yelled. “Wait wait, I’m teaching you how to defend yourself better. Makenzie you did very well against some of the Ten Sword AnQels, that’s just something you don’t do everyday. I cannot just past my techniques down, for they are extremely beyond most teaching. There is only a few who know these sword techniques. If I am not careful I can still kill even with the blunt sword.”

Swipe had a sly smile on his face, “You lose Makenzie, if you don’t like it, you’ll have to beat MakenZero for it. Yet you have to get through me, however it makes me wonder about you. Why does a pretty girl like you want to learn, you’re half vampire, you wouldn’t need all that. I want to become stronger and go beyond Maken, even with his goody goody no kill. That doesn’t mean I won’t go farther then that, I am me, I am not MakenZero, if I have to protect people I go any means to even kill.” Makenzie put the practice sword down, with MakenZero being silent. It seemed that MakenZero only brought on himself people who want to kill him, or surpass him.

Maken smiled. “That’s true, however Swipe, you’re no where near what you could be by sitting there. I got very lucky on learning those legendary sword techniques. I wasn’t meant to learn them.” “What?” Makenzie and Swipe looked at him a bit more. “I wasn’t meant to learn it, the way my master looked, that’s how every person looked who had learned those techniques. It doesn’t matter now, but I do want you become stronger and you know that there are better ways to go around with life then just fighting. Fighting is fun, I’ll admit that, but it’s still wrong to put my body like that,” Maken referring to many scars on his body. Makenzie broke the silence, “There’s still so much I want to learn.” “I’m glad you feel that way.” “Well Vivi and I are going out to get more equipment for the ship and all. Oh and don’t forget to meet us at the restaurant later.” She walked off.

“All right see you soon.” Maken called out. Swipe got up, “Well, it’s time I got going too.” “What? You’re leaving too? That’s usually not like you.” “Heh yeah, but I have to get this hand checked out. The vixen (Megan), will never shut up if I keep her waiting.” He walks off, “I’ll come by tomorrow.” Maken watches him leave; Swipe suddenly turned back grabbing him by his shirt. “What did you say!? I’ll become the strongest where you have to depend on me! Oh and don’t worry about me killing people, killing people just makes you weak if you have to come down to that. Brawling is much fun.” He let Maken go. “Roger that Swipe.” Swipe slapped him on the back, “All right then, remember you’re going to help me practice, and don’t take me so seriously.” “I think I overestimated you a little, I give up.” Maken fixing his clothes, he smiled brightly at the random hot headedness of Swipe.

Later at the Megan’s clinical services station. Megan was changing the bandages on Swipe’s right hand. “Maken is acting strange?” Megan pondered while wrapping up Swipe’s hand. “Yeah a little, he still smiles all the time, but it feels like he has drawn a line some where and he is not going to let him self step over it.” “That’s true, well he is a wanderer.” She was still focusing on his hand, and Swipe went back to talking. “So even though he won’t say it straight out that he’ll train Makenzie, he’s been practicing with her every day since we’ve come back. I think Vivi is picking up on it to, but she isn’t worrying. I’m guessing she wants his attention but isn’t pushing this time; they might make a good match and settle down.” Swipe caught himself, “Sorry, you probably aren’t happy to hear about that.”

“It doesn’t matter, as long as Maken is happy, I am happy,” Megan said. “I don’t know if you had a change of heart or what, but when you try to be all cool and say, “Maken’s happy he he,” you just totally screwed it up lady.” “Maybe you’re right, what a nice thing for you to say,” she was getting a bit ticked off by him. “What’s with the look? I’m always nice,” he gave her a wink. “All right, that’s it for today. Come back in five to six days.” “What? You mean you are not done yet!?” “Hey! I’m treating you for free, so quit your complaining! Your right hand was hurt worse then Maken was!” Megan hinting at the after effects of Swipe’s new move used during the Nekam faction battle.

“Oh that reminds me. It’s been bothering me a lot lately. Those thirteen scars on Maken’s face, even if they got reopened during the Nekam fights, they should heal up quick, but if they are such old scars. Why is it that they’re so clear?” Swipe said as Megan put the old bandages in the garbage and replied, “Hm. I’m not really sure, but this is something that I talked to my head doctor about a long time ago. It’s really just superstitious, but they say that if someone attaches strong feelings to a wound, as long as he carries those feelings, the scars will never fade.”

Back at the country of the great Nekam battles, the man approaches a recently visited grave. He crushed the flowers beneath his feet. “So it is true that MakenZero was here.” A man stood by his side, grinning stupidly as always. Actually it was the exact same man that the Sword Collector had told Maken and company, that he gone wild and best to leave him alone. The smiling man spoke, “Yes it’s him all right. You just missed him, he’s returned to his grounds. The other four have gone off their separate ways without waiting for your arrival. They have caught the trail of a man they had been searching for since the last war. You cannot blame them for being impatient.” The man turned to the stupid looking man. “I’ll ask you one thing. Does MakenZero still have the thirteen scars on all over his face?” “Yes. I didn’t see him for myself, but from the talk in the Nekam’s faction, I can say he does.” “So they are still there. Then she hasn’t forgiven him yet. We must hurry Mr. Ox.” “Yes.” The big stupid smiling man tore apart, showing a new figure standing, a man who wears a skull mask with horns coming out. He was a puppet master and he laughed an insane laugh.

Wow it’s been a while again! I’m very sorry for things keep happening >_<. I haven’t really commented lately, been trying to get my own act together. Hopefully you will enjoy this story. It was quite a bit long, but it was just making up for missing out a lot of days. There was so much I wanted to put but I kept it for later. It’s nice to be back, it’ll still be kind of iffy for when I’m writing. I’ll try to comment more.

How’s life with Rory Jones? It’s going alright, doing a bit better in college. Well I don’t know, but I’ve been getting help for it. I finally figured out those Asian twins’ names, it was just so funny. I had to look carefully and play this carefully. I saw one of them wearing a necklace that had an H on it, so I thought it had to be Houa, but I had to make sure. So I said as best I could trying not to make it look like I don’t know her name. “So where’s your other sister.” And she said, “Oh Joua is parking the car.” I just had to laugh and smile at that afterwards. Talking to them for like two months and not knowing who was who.

Been talking to Disney a bit, his computer’s been down. He’s starting to think of my idea a while back, and I was like heck yeah! For those who don’t know. I started a comic storyboard back in March before I got out of high school, and Disney would be my artist. I have like three different drawings of Disney and I together. He’s been thinking about it, and it’s just hard to get him to think about that. It’s not like I wanted him to draw this and draw that for me, I mean both of us were into anime and were very creative people. So I’m basically the storyboard, and he’s the drawer. However I’m going to have to rewrite this whole thing. Because it’s based off our high school years, but I don’t want us in there anymore, I want two new people but having our looks type. It’s going to be like a comedy/drama type thing. Most likely going to be comedy hehe.

What else now? Well video game news. Halo 2 is coming out in two weeks, not only that, Halo 2 got swiped in France a week or two ago and now on the internet sadly. Less then a month before it’s release. That’s a game that shouldn’t be copied because it’s going to be so good, and worth the money to buy it. I got the new Grand Theft Auto game. Based in the Mid 90’s reminding you of the entire old hip hop then, when you can actually understand it. I miss that sniff sniff lol. I haven’t played it yet. I just got it yesterday with this HUGE GUIDE. Since it is 3 STATES, not CITIES, 3 STATES big. That’s just crazy.

Other news, finally getting some of the political stuff. The election’s going to be close that’s all I can say. The problem is, our soldiers are over in Iraq. It doesn’t matter who is the president, those guys are still over there no matter what getting killed for something God knows what. Weapons of Mass Destruction, oil, stop terrorism, etc. etc. It’s good to know about political things, and to get into it more. But when that’s all you heard for the past 4 years when, people screwed up the elections, I don’t want to hear anymore. Let’s hope after this happens, that it’ll die down A LOT not just a bit, A LOT. I don’t want to hear grade school girls talking about politics. What happen there? O,O lol.

Oh well. How is everyone else doing? Sorry I haven’t came by but I’ll do that as you get to read this. Sorry so long but you know you have to read up on your favorite neighbor! ^_^ lol.
