Chapter 1

Darkness Rising Part 1 is the first chapter of Lucas' series Trey's Anime
The beginning starts off with trey saying I always fought and fought, as we see glimpses of him in battle before, just to see a day that my friends could live in peace. We see a kid a bit older than him shaking his hand and he says my name is Trey Whitaker. And I was a kid who was in trusted with the future. A future brighter than we could ever imagine. We see a cloaked figure reading from a book and reaching down, with something forming in his hand. But there was A darkness rising to snuff that light out. The hooded figure smiles creepily from the shadows. It says Trey's Anime, Chapter 1, darkness rising. Trey says the year before in 2019, the world had just gotten out of the end of a hidden war, the lucas reaper war. We call it hidden because, there were no governments, militaries, or such involved. Just regiments with there ideals, and they got the world mixed up in it. Reaper, an evil man who wanted to submit the world to his rule, tricked a young child into freeing him from the prison he was trapped in. The child lucas, could not sit in the sidelines and watch this freed evil wreck havoc on the world, and set out to stop him. Slowly he gained friends and allies who saw what was happening, and they devoted themselves to the cause. Through 4 years of several battles, victories, defeats, sacrifices, and world ending threats, lucas and his union were able to stop reaper once and for all, and take him down at the battle of the cyberformer. Trey says On that day, after the battle ended, lucas shook my hand and told me to carry on. And since then, that's what I've been doing. 
We see trey looking up on the bus looking gloomy and remembering everything from in the last battle, and a kid in the seat in front of him yells saying WHEN ARE WE GONNA MAKE IT TO YOUNG YEARS? Damn it. the kid next to trey in the same seat as him on the bus says it always takes us several stops before we make it there calm down, today was too tiring for this already anyways. He looks over and says trey you good? Trey says oh yeah just was remembering when I... trey holds onto what should be his right arm. He narrates saying during the final days of the war, me and Lucas' step brother tommy got trapped in a cave by one of reapers servants. We had no other name for it than the dragon. suddenly we see trey looking up in a flashback about a year younger, still having his other arm. and he says tommy wait...I don't think there was really any member of reapers army calling us here to negotiate something. and suddenly an ear piercing roar is heard. Trey and Tommy look backwards in horror and tommy says no way... this was a trap! It's the damn dragon! It comes barreling down at them and trey says but it's, a robot? This sequence is very fast paced and action heavy. Trey and tommy try to shoot the dragon but it swoops down in the cave slamming its claws down into where trey and tommy stood, but they got out the way! Trey rolls away and the dragon notices him first chasing after him, as trey continues to try to shoot at it and gets smacked by it into the roof. the dragon immediately goes after tommy afterwards who tries shooting it too, but gets grabbed and slammed into the wall. struggling to get up from the ground, tommy tells the dragon fine, lets dance as it runs full speed at him screeching. It slams its body down into where tommy was but he jumps out the way and runs away dodging the attacks from the robot. we go into slow motion as he jumps off the wall and slams himself into the dragons body with two swords. he jumps over it doing a backflip and uses a gauntlet to slam it straight in the face and kick it into the cave wall. Coming back with the gauntlets to hit it twice with them, it doges and twists around him punching him into the wall instead, he then proceeds to slam his claws into tommy as the blocks with the gauntlets, them starting to get shredded. Luckily trey comes in with a huge hammer smacking the dragon away with it! He tries to jump on top of it and swing the hammer into it again but it slams trey away before it can. as it comes at him trey smacks it away again into the top of the cave. It tries to jump down at him but trey dodges and smacks it with his hammer, hooking it onto its shoulder and slamming it into the wall. As its still down from being slammed in the wall, trey tries to swing the hammer into it again but it gets back up and smacks him in the wall, throwing him away into the ground. Trey struggles to get up and the dragon grabs treys hammer in its mouth slamming it into trey and smacking him into a rock formation. Right as its about to smack the hammer down and finish trey, Tommy jumps in with a electro whip weapon and uses it to take the hammer away from the dragon. He slowly swings it around with the whip and slams the hammer into the dragon smashing it away. as it gets back up coming back at him and trey, tommy throws parts of one of the gauntlets at the dragon to distract it, and keeps the whip hooked onto the hammer as trey holds it running alongside him. Together they use the whip attached to the hammer to trip the dragon and make it fall into the ground. it starts to come back at them but tommy jumps on the end of the hammer, and trey swings it catapulting tommy above the dragon. He grabs its face with the whip and pulls it back as trey swings the hammer at it a few times. Tommy and Trey slam gauntlet punches and hammer swings into it overwhelming it and knocking it into the wall. And then they pull there blasters back out, shooting a huge spike down from the roof of the cave that lands on top of the dragon crushing it. Trey and tommy look at each other assumingly thinking they finished it, but suddenly it lifts up the rock and slams it into him and trey! Trey looks up, the hammer having landed a bit away from him. But he suddenly sees the dragon slamming the huge rock into Tommy! Severely inuring him. Trey then goes for the hammer, but the dragon jumps and lands its claw full force onto treys right arm which was reaching for it. Trey yells in agony, and the dragon stomps on it again with full force. after it lifts its claw treys hand and chunk of his wrist fall off of his arm having been flattened and maimed. Trey screams and rolls over holding onto the stump that's left of where his right hand was. Trey thinks this is it... no... its just like before. Trey remembers someone literally shooting him in the back before and he thinks I just got another debilitating injury... i- I'm useless! The dragon grabs the hammer in its mouth, and breaks it in half with its jaw throwing the remains of it In front of trey humiliating him. Trey looks over at tommy whos barely conscious and says looks like this is the end of the line huh? Trey says its been a good run for us... as the dragon slowly creeps over to him. It lifts its claw, about to strike trey down. But right before it can trey narrates saying I always had to be saved back then. Lucas flies in with a jetpack and a glowing sword, that shoots a beam of energy from it. The dragon is smacked into the wall by it and looks up. Lucas says I've got you guys, and takes a wrist mounted machine gun out, firing it at the rocks above the dragon trying to trap it, and grabs the two of them flying off. Trey says he always saved me...but for some reason he always trusted me with the most important tasks. We can see another flashback of a primative claw looking device being attached to treys missing right arm, by the guy who we saw talking to him on the bus before the start of the flashback. Lucas says you handle the relay station for the cyberformer, and trey says but why me? Can't Jaden do it? the guy who attached his claw arm is assumed to be Jaden and he says huh? Lucas puts his hand on Trey's shoulder as he's about to go off and says , cause I've always been able to trust you. Trey looks shocked and snaps back to the present.
Jaden says try not to worry about that... it's been almost a year since this all ended. You have an extremely advanced metal prosthetic that basically makes it like you never lost an arm, and that spinal insert lets you walk around like you never had any damage back there. Trey says yeah but... how do we just move on and have a normal life after all of that? It feels like strangely I dunno... we're destined for more. Jaden looks outside and thinks huh, you think so? and suddenly something comes flying from the distance out of the clouds. Trey says it was an overcast, and cold January day. Trey's eyes widen and trey yells everyone duck!!! Something slams into the bus and knocks it over, causing everyone to scream. Trey and Jaden get up thinking what the hell was that? Suddenly we see a mysterious figure floating in the distance laughing manically. He says so i was right! Its you right trey? The legendary Warrior who fought for lucas just a year ago? Trey gets out the bus and says what if I am? Jaden gets up behind him and says what do you want with us? lifting his fists up. The guy says ah, well allow me to introduce myself, my name is Halogen, I'm just a loyal servant of reaper who survived after his downfall. And I'm here to get my revenge on everyone of his enemies as possible!!! Halogen smirks , his face still obscured by the hood, and yells now..... Suddenly we see pages turning in a book, Magical Possessor Power, Punch!! A blast comes at them and trey tries to move out the way but Jaden pulls something out of his backpack! He says Rocketman armor, engage! Pieces come flying from the distance and attach themselves to his body forming an armor that takes he possessor power blast. He says you'll need more than that to deal with us? Trey says you got my hammer too? Jaden says mhm. A much smaller hammer than the one in the flashback with a different design comes flying at trey, who catches it. Halogen says huh, need more, then take more! Possessor power, MULTIPLE PUNCHES! Trey slides under the attacks and moves around with the hammer. Jaden flies up and pulls a energy sword out saying this guy looks like he's using some kind of books to form these attacks.... we need to get up close to him and take it! Trey says agreed and grabs Jaden's hand. Jaden swings him at halogen and trey tries to slam the hammer into him, but Halogen says Magical Possessor Power Shield, blocking the attack! Trey looks Surprised and halogen grabs him saying this is too much of a scene, someone else will come if I stay here too much longer, for now, just take this as a greeting. I'll come again more prepared next time, I hope your Ready, Trey!!!! Trey yells what? and Halogen blasts off before they can follow him. Trey says I think... we just got a taste of a new threat. Jaden says we need to get some of the others. We see someone getting called at there desk and picking up they says huh? You were attacked? okay, ill get as many of us together as I can. 
Trey can be seen at night meeting in the back of his house with a few other friends of his. They sit at a fire and trey says now... we don't need to cause any big concern with this. As far as I know, this is just this one guy, so we shouldn't need to get lucas involved but... Jaden says some hooded guy... with these crazy powers he was using from a book, said his name was halogen, and attacked us. He told us he specifically was coming after us cause of our involvement in the lucas reaper war so, maybe he was one of reapers left over dregs? One of the kids whos a bit overweight says I don't know, that sounds like a significant deal to me. There's a character name that appears under him that says Jimmy. He says if we don't want to get anyone else from back then involved, then for now I say we gather some old gear and get ready to defend ourselves. Another kid whos skinny says agreed, and a name card says Isaac. A kid with orange hair laughs and says you could've just told us you need to form a team to deal with this guy... but what do we call it? A character name card says court under him. Jaden says well Trey, you did call us all together here for this... its corny but what about.... Team Trey? Trey thinks back to what he said earlier in the day about he felt like After this attack, He says guys, earlier on the bus I told jaden It feels like strangely we're destined for more. I think maybe this is our chance for that. Court says I mean that's a bit strange, but you have a fair point after all we went through back then. Jaden says ill supply us with the tech we need, we'll meet at canes and hope he takes the bait of us meeting outside in daylight like that again. Trey says agreed, and holds his fist out saying Today, Team Trey forms! We'll deal with this threat and live up to the expectations of what lucas would want us to do! We'll fight and be heroes, no, the strongest heroes! They all meet his fist bump in the middle and say yeah! 
Then we fade to daylight and trey narrates saying we met at canes the next day after school, on Friday evening. waited and waited, and no one came. We met again like this every afternoon for 7 days after that with nothing. Until one Saturday. Halogen blasts in and says why do you guys always show up here? It's pathetic to know you think your leading me into a trap... Trey says yeah but.... we have a plan! Halogen yells and says prove it! Slamming multiple magic possessor power attacks at them. Jaden tells everyone else there to get out of there! and he swings his sword at halogen. But he blasts out the way and says nope! Possessor power punching him away. He forms another ball of magic possessor power in his hand and yells possessor power.... But trey runs forward with his hammer. He says back then I wasn't sure but, it seemed like my hammer swing deflected some of the blast! If my theories correct then.... he swings and parries the possessor power blast away into the road! He says My hammer is a perfect match to counter your attacks halogen! Halogen glances at him and looks annoyed gritting his teeth. Trey says we will take you down here, halogen! As team trey runs up behind him ready to take halogen down. Halogen says you little bastards think your soooo smart. And he yells Magic Possessor Power blast high output! Blasting at a speed they cant keep up with, grabbing Jimmy. Trey turns around and says Jimmy! Halogen blasts away and says so trey, you wanna take a fight to me? Then Come After me, IF YOU WANNA SAVE YOUR FRIEND! Trey watches jimmy get taken away as the others watch and Jaden says should I go after... and trey stops him saying no... we need to be together to deal with him. Trey says it's strange but after a year of searching for what to do with his life, he thought he couldn't live on. Trey says on that day, when our friend was taken, a new journey for me and my friends began. This is the Beginning of how I will become the greatest hero. We see the outline of lucas as he says this surrounding the panel.
