A Notable Hunter Story: The Firstbit
er-no set down his papers, he nodded to garbe123, a new receptionist at SR towers before descending down the stairs. Garbe123 looked at the papers; “Town meeting” headed the letter. Life at SR was fine, ever since the death of old friend Lord Semajal, Notable Hunters Dringo and Edgy haven’t been seen for a year now, no attempt on anyone’s life. In fact the murderous duo are almost seen as town hero’s by stopping the civil war that had the potential to destroy SR, nevertheless they were trouble and the fact that they haven’t been seen was a good thing. Rumours of the pair dying, moving away or hiding beneath SR has always been on people’s lips but no one really knew for sure. Garbe123’s thoughts were interrupted by a crash in the room near him; Garbe123 rushed to his feet to investigate. Upon reaching the room he switched the light switch, the lights were dead.
“Hello?” said Garbe123 uncertainly “er-no?” he inquired.
Almost like a scene from a horror movie a giant figure of a man appeared, his shadow being outlined by moonlight, Garbe123’s mouth dropped with fear as a large bolt sprang forth and struck Garbe123 in the forehead. Garbe123 collapsed to the floor as the figure began to leave unfortunately for him er-no arrived. Er-no leaped across the room kicking the giant assailant in the head, the mysterious figure still on his feet brought a gun around to bear at er-no, er-no kicked it from his hand only to be grabbed by the throat and with such tremendous strength hurled er-no across the room. Er-no collided into a computer causing it to crash to the ground as the attacker attempted to leave via the window, er-no scampered on all fours to the weapon lying on the floor. Er-no hurled a mouse at him and the 7-foot monster turned around and er-no fired. A huge jolt of energy sprang forth from the gun and struck the man with such forth that he was lifted off his feet and through the window, hurtling towards the ground and landing with a thud. Er-no looked at this weird almost futuristic weaponry before moving towards the window to see the limp body of this super human crumpled on the floor.
“Who is he?” inquired Ant looking at the dead body lying on the table. Sniper walked through the door:
“Better be a good reason to get me up at 2 am” moaned Sniper, soon enough Grix Thraves and Sonic Rav showed up and Tony put down his book.
“Hello all” began Tony as the Notables surrounded the table, Tony looked down at the body.
“This is a G-player,” said Tony, Meka retracted in shock “A G-PLAYER” he cried, “But we haven’t fought with them for years!”
“What’s a G-Player?” asked Pro Evo.
Tony cleared his throat as if he was going to begin a tale he has told many a time before: “Many years ago we fought a battle against G-play. The SR/G-play wars happened over many years, they had developed nice technology and were massed in numbers but neither of us would back down. One of our strongest warriors David fell in love with one of theirs Rachael, we refused to let them continue as a couple, nevertheless they continued behind their leaders backs, and Rachael got pregnant with twins. These twins were the first G-player/SR mixed children, and their birth ended the bitter war, which continued. David and Rachael left to G-play to keep the peace whilst the children remained here being looked after by er-no to do the same, to me it looks as if David and Rachael have failed to keep G-play under control”
Ali then appeared holding the G-player’s gun, “This was the weapon he was carrying. it is far more superior to any of our weapons and it looks as if these people have been bred in such a way they posses nearly super human powers. Their weapons have been finally tuned that could kill a whole gang of people in seconds.”
Sheepy looked troubled, “Do you think this is a terrorist attack?” he asked.
Brad then stood up, no one even knew he was there and he was holding a letter pulled off the injured Garbe123, he handed the letter to Tony who read it out:
“Hello Tony long time no see, over the years we have been developing weaponry far stronger than anything you can imagine. The man you saw he is an example of what the million strong army we have is like, there is only room for one of us, our peace ends here.”
Your Honour looked terrified, “A million of these things? Against us???”
“We have little time,” said Ali “We must prepare for war!”
“OH no” moaned pb who sat back down, Tony looked troubled, and said: “There is something I must do.” before leaving the room.
Dringo sat up, Edgy had emerged from the back of Semajal’s old shop, they haven’t left for nearly a year. Dringo looked at Edgy who was carrying his axe: “Do you think I’ll ever use it again?” asked Edgy, “Who knows” began Dringo “Semajal’s death is proof that violence isn’t the way to do things.” As Dringo finished there was a sharp knock at the door, “Maybe sooner than you’ll expect” said Dringo as he slowly edged his way to the door, Edgy brought his axe up as Dringo pulled a pistol from his pocket. Dringo sharply opened the door an aimed the gun at whom was there, Tony shot his hands in the air instantly. “What are you doing here at this time?” asked Edgy as Dringo beckoned him inside. “I need your help,” claimed Tony quickly, Dringo looked at him and showed Tony to a vacant chair.
“Go on” said Dringo inquisitively.
“Your guys super human powers are needed!” Tony finally gasped out catching his breath he had been running.
“By whom, against whom, and why should I damage my axe over the guy who began the Notable regime?” said Edgy harshly.
“The G-players are back, they have superior weaponry and physique and you guys are the only ones who can help, we can’t fight a million strong army without you.” Tony said now looking up at Dringo pleadingly.
“We haven’t heard from G-Play in years, why should we trust you? Why should we even help you?” demanded Dringo!
“Because it is our time of need, we need you two, our Notables are the only group who can match their might, we need you.” Tony said at length.
“Well we don’t need you,” said Dringo “Now get out or get thrown out.”
Tony left in a disappointed panic whilst Dringo watched him leave, Edgy approached from behind and put a hand on Dringo’s shoulder:
“Do you think we were a bit harsh?” he asked hypothetically.
“Maybe so, but there cannot be any truth in what he says, the story of the G-play is but a legend told to scare kids,” Dringo said before retiring for bed.
“Will they help?” asked Ant as Tony walked through the door.
“They will not” Tony said pretending not to be bothered, Ant slumped back into his chair disappointed muttering “Should of known.”
“What’s the plan?” asked Your Honour anxiously.
“We go ahead with the town meeting, I want every resident both male and female tomorrow at 11, we must prepare for the inevitable.” Said Tony “Now it is time we got some rest, it has been a long night” and then he left the room.
Murmuring continued amongst the ranks as er-no left the room head bowed, parts of conversations such as “We’re all doomed” and “We don’t stand a chance, SR will fall” was enough to force er-no to leave. Er-no remembered the first war of course; the terrible fighting and destruction that occurred, the needless bloodshed and anger that went on between the two powers. He left the towers but didn’t go straight home, he went to the edge of town and looked outwards to the road that lead to G-play, it was strangely quite despite what he knew was about to occur here, the same thing that occurred many years ago.
Dringo awoke from his deep sleep with a jolt; he felt something strange, he looked to Edgy who lay asleep opposite him. Dringo wondered for a moment what it could be when he heard a clatter in the kitchen, Dringo grabbed his gun and got out of bed. He moved slowly towards the kitchen a yellow glow emitted from the room, someone was in the fridge. Dringo walked in to see a man with his head in the fridge raiding the contents, the man stood up and moved to the table, Dringo lowered the gun he just raised in shock.
“Hello Dringo” said Semajal chewing on a bit of beef.
“Hungry work it is being dead” said the old friend who died during the Special Reserve civil war last year. Dringo shook his head in disbelief and Semajal laughed.
“It is no dream Dringo, I am here because I must deliver you a message,” said Semajal biting into an apple.
“It can’t be true, you can’t be a ghost I would have seen you by now!” Dringo exclaimed not taking his eyes off Semajal.
“As I say Dringo my dear boy I am here because I must tell you something important, something you must do.” Semajal put down the chocolate cake and a more serious expression formed on his strangely human like face.
“Long ago two people, David and Rachael joined together and brought peace to the land of SR for 30 years, but they have since gone and G-play have been preparing to destroy SR once again. You two are the only hope that is left for SR. Dringo and Edgy must return, Edgy must grab his axe, you must use your mind to save SR… before it is totally destroyed. It is your destiny Dringo.” and with that Semajal dissapeared, Dringo started forward only to realise his friend had vanished leaving a nice mess in the kitchen. Dringo sighed and shrank into a chair, deep in thought before returning to bed.
“Listen, we have no time” shouted Tony as the noisy room fell silent. It was the next day and the room had been informed of the nights events. “Our planes tell us a huge army of 10,000 has left G-play, they must know we are ill equipped to bother using their full army. Nevertheless we still have a seemingly impossible task on our hands! The Newbies will cover the left flank, to the right we have the regulars with the more powerful Staffies and Notables in the centre!” led Tony.
Ali stepped forward, “Take a knife and a gun from SR towers, we are ill equipped we have no bullet proof shirts and our weaponry is minor and the best we have are in short supply.” Ali said heavily “But don’t despair, hold together, you are never alone, together we can destroy the enemy!” A cheer rang from the town hall as everyone left and headed to SR towers to grab what they needed. The Notables were already equipped and long-range guns were being set up at the SR border.
Everyone from SR was ready in just over an hour, the regulars were in a bundle in the right flank with Strafex and Rickoss standing in front and Sibs on horseback. Afrojoe called out; he could seem them approaching over the flat desert. The Newbies stood in horror at what was about to happen, they prayed their time at SR would last longer. “Ready your weapons,” said Brad, who stood next to all other staff with Tony and Ali in the middle, just behind them stood the notables: FantasyMeister, Grix Thraves, Meka_Dragon, Sniper, Ant, er-no, SHEEPY, pb, Wookiee Monster, Goatboy, RastaBillySkank, Your Honour, Pro Evo and SonicRav all standing firm, although inside they felt terrified. Behind them stood 4 large guns and back up supply of ammo. They held there ground as the 7 foot unstoppable army moved forwards, Tony looked at the distance, trying to see if their weapons could fire but before he could judge two were destroyed from falling bombs from a plane up high. Tony let out a startled cry but as the plane prepared to damage the troops an item was flung from one of the regulars and struck the planes with such force that it got knocked backwards and crashed to the ground. The item fell to the ground and turned out to be an axe, Edgy stepped forward to pick it up.
“Nice shot Edgy my son” said Dringo; Tony looked delighted as Dringo and Edgy stood in front of the staff.
“Thought you could do with a little hand,” said Dringo.

VERY gay lines. So suspect. I reckon they're seeing each other.
Edgy approached Dringo from behind.

Let me guess
Dringo and Edgy say gay lines together
You kill us
Then you die again and then come back and write another story
Dringo and Edgy say gay lines together
You kill us

No, really Dringodude. I loved it. The bad punctuation and spelling is superb. Honestly.

Brilliant. Even more badly written than the rest. I loved it. But this bit makes me suspect something is going on:
"Edgy approached from behind and put a hand on Dringo’s shoulder"
Approached from behind, eh? Hand on shoulder, eh? Closet.. ;)
Hoho.
