Mercenary Chronicles S1 Ep1
Narrator: In the distant future of 2552, human is at war against a Religious Alien Empire known as the Covenant. One by one, the Covenant glassed many of Earth’s colonies, to the point where trade routes, force deployment, weapon exchanges, and banking services become more scarce. A war that’ll potentially lead to the extinction of the human race, however, when all hope seemed lost, 2 groups of the greatest warriors was able to become the key to humanity’s survival. The Spartans, Genetically Enhanced Super Soldiers with superhuman endurance and strength, and the Mercenaries, powerful, wise and gifted monks with supernatural powers. Born with the ability to overcome anything and fight for an era of peace. The UNSC and the Order of the White Lotus were allies for 400 years, being able to create new colonies throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But then the Hasukage during the time the Human-Covenant War begins, Akira Yagamoto had a vision where the human race will face a threat larger than the Insurrection and that the only way to overcome it, is to work together with the Insurrection. However, the United Earth Government refused, being more interested in the war economy of the UNSC-Insurrection War than they did with facing the threat that is, the Covenant. Causing more innocent lives to be at risk, when all hope seemed lost, one Spartan was able to bring the edge the human race needs to win their battles, this Spartan is known as the Master Chief. *The entire episode begins in Riyadh, Madrigal, a White Lotus Village located around the Ga’luga River, which is Madrigal’s only fertile land. This village contains houses that look futuristic, it looked as if they were built in the late 25th century, with some parts of their house showing dust, and rusting. The only building that seems to be in better condition than the houses is Mei Long Temple. It looks like a Chinese Buddhist Temple that is white with dark green roofs. Inside the temple, is a training hall of Shaolin Monk Mercenaries who wear black King Fu uniforms with white designs of their title they represents begins practicing their Lightning Ki, one of them is Zhang Dao, a Shaolin Monk born in the very wealthy Dao family with her black King Fu Uniform having a white dragon on it, as well as long black hair with golden eyes, she releases so much Lightning Ki Energy from her fists and kicks and destroying 20 dummies. After she was done training, she breathes in and out and then drinks some bottled water.* Zhang: Man, what a workout, destroyed 20 training dummies at once with my Charged Fists and kicks. *She soon leaves the temple and heads straight home at Dao Manner, it’s the biggest house of the entire neighborhood, looking like it was built in the Edo Period, but more recently built to make it into a Wealthy Mansion. The first person to greet Zhang was the Dao family butler Tien, a neatly dressed Chinese Butler with black bold hair and silver eyes,* Tien: Ms. Dao, you can hope earlier than expected. Zhang: Well, they let us out early due to a secret Mercenary meeting. *Out of the downstairs hallway came the owner of the Dao Estate, Zhao Dao, Zhao looked to be in his late 40s, with brown shaggy hair tied back with a hair piece, golden eyes, and is wearing a black and white Chinese Kung Fu uniform that looks to be of expensive value.* Zhao: Zhang, what are you doing in that uniform, it looks so extraordinary, Zhang: Well dad, I got this from Master Jackson, he told me that this uniform really represents me, plus, it’s made with the most expensive of material compared to the others. Zhao: Amazing, now dinner will be ready in about 30 minutes, if you need anything, just contact Tien from your room. Zhang: Yes dad. Zhao: Oh, and before you go, I must tell you that we’re having guests from the Sugamoto estate come over for dinner, their son Akira would be very pleased to be your boyfriend. Zhang: Whatever… *Zhang goes upstairs to her room playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on her Nintendo Switch while her older brother Mao plays Left 4 Dead 2 on his gaming laptop. Mao is 2 years older than Zhang, with black shaggy hair and green eyes, but is wearing a Metallica Shirt with jeans.* Mao: Zhang, are you OK, you seem more stressed than usual. Zhang; I don’t wanna talk about it. Mao: Let me guess, dad is once again trying to get you to be boyfriends with that Akira person, because personally, I never really liked the kid. He’s a know it all, and a horrible cheat. Zhang: Yeah, I just wish there is someone that I could fall in love with that isn’t some rich guy my dad just wants me to marry for the money. Mao: Don’t worry, maybe someday you’ll find someone someone who actually loves and cares for you. Zhang: Yeah… Welp, I’m gonna go to the Ramen Shop for lunch. Mao: Bye! *Zhang leaves Dao Manner to go to Iraku Ramen Shop, while in town she sees UNSC Marines patrolling for any dangerous criminals since Madrigal’s only fertile land is also sustainable to drug rings and increased crime rates, there’s always dangerous people when you live in Madrigal. When she finally entered the restaurant, Zhang begins to order.* Zhang: One Char Siu Miso Ramen please, and some water too. Ramen Shop Owner: Alright then. *As the Ramen Shop Owner prepares the Ramen, 2 Zen Monk Mercenaries enter the Ramen shop, one is a tall and muscular man with brown shaggy hair and black eyes, as for his clothes, he wears a red sleeveless Karate Gi with a black belt wrapped around it, the other however, is a very mysterious Zen Monk, a Delphox that looks abnormally pale, wearing a bamboo hat, a red samurai kimono, and a black samurai hakama.* Fun Fact: Did you know that all Mercenaries wear ninja sandals to help with their stealth as Mercs? Caleb: *Is the tall and Muscular Merc.* Oh man, I’m starving, traveling through Slipspace for 6 hours in the Crescent feels very boring. Hanzaku: *Is the Mysterious Delphox with the Bamboo Hat,* Yes Caleb, it was boring, but’s all worth it because we get to eat your favorite ramen. *Caleb then sees Zhang, and from that, Caleb falls for her.* Caleb: Woah, hey there. Zhang: Oh, hey. Ramen Shop Owner: Oh, new customers, what can I get you guys? Caleb: I would like some Tonkotsu Ramen please, with some Gyoza as a side dish, and some water. Hanzaku: As for me I would like a Spicy Ramen with some egg rolls and water. Ramen Shop Owner: Alrighty. *Begins cooking them.* Caleb: So, judging from that Kung Fu Fighting Gear, you must be a Shaolin Monk. Zhang: And Judging from you and your friend’s Kimonos and Gis, you must be Zen Monks. Ramen Shop Owner; *Serves the food,* Here’s your Ramens everyone. *Everyone begins eating their meals.* Zhang: So, where did you guys come from? Caleb: We came from Earth of course. Zhang: Earth, the human capital, that’s all the way in the Inner Rim, I heard it’s 70% water. Caleb: Yep, it’s better than living in this dust ball of a planet. Zhang: I happened to live in that dust ball…It’s not bad once you get used to it… Caleb: Hmmm, I see, btw, I’m Son-Caleb and this is my best friend Hanzaku. Hanzaku: 👋 Zhang: I’m Zhang. Caleb: Zhang, that’s a beautiful name. Zhang: 😊 Thanks. *Once everyone is finished eating Caleb and Hanzaku begin to set off, but before doing that, they use their Fire Ki to smoke weed from their pipe,* Zhang: 😡 WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!? *Uses her Lightning Charged Fist to punch Caleb one the face.* Caleb: Gah!!!! *He gets tumbled into the ground.* Ouch! That actually hurt! Normally I wouldn’t feel a thing when someone lays a punch on me due to my skin and muscles being a strong as steel, but man, you Shaolin Monks really know how to make a punch more powerful… Zhang: You guys are potheads! I know Marijuana is legal here in Madrigal but I hate it! Marijuana is bad for the lungs and heart! Caleb: Well, yes, but to a lesser extent, weed actually does far less damage than tobacco and alcohol, and when your stoned, your Ki becomes more heightened, power in Fire Ki comes from the breath. Hanzaku; It helps us calm the mind to help you meditate and focus your energy. Zhang: Whatever, I don’t do drugs. Hanzaku: Btw, we better get going, we’re on a mission to help protect Pavitra Jyōti Temple from the UNSC Colonial Leader of Madrigal. Zhang: Why would Adm. Gorman attack a Sacred White Lotus Temple, the UNSC has been allies with the Order of the White Lotus for 400 years. Hanzaku: Not everyone in the UNSC respects the Mercenary Way, some are more interested in industrial polluting machinery that is actually disrespectful to the sacred nature of this galaxy that Mercenaries try so hard to protect. Caleb: Yeah, corruption is an issue here in Madrigal, the drug trade and crime rates keep increasing because of Burn accusing and killing civilians for Insurrectionist terrorism. Zhang: Well maybe I can help. Caleb: Hmm, I don’t know, it’s an S Rank Mission with a ton of money as the reward. Zhang: So what, I’m an A Rank Mercenary, how tedious can the mission be for a powerful Shaolin Monk like me? Caleb: You’re an A Rank, so are me and Hanzaku. Hanzaku: Caleb, you got to have this woman join the group, she could be very useful. Caleb: Well, I guess you can come with us. Zhang: Great! *However, Zhao finds Zhang and the 2 Warriors in Red, he looked upset for no reason.* Zhao: There you are! Zhang, you know better than not leave without be accompanied by an escort! Zhang: Dad, I don’t need a chaperone, I’m 20 years old. Zhao: You live in my Manner, you live by my rules. Caleb: You heard the lady, she said she’s too old for having a chaperone. Zhao: You Mercenary commoners wouldn’t understand how important it is to take care of a wealthy Dao. Caleb: Woah, you’re a Dao!? Zhang: I’m so sorry…I didn’t want you to know about this… Zhao: Now Zhang, come along now, when we get back, we’ll discuss your punishment. Zhang: No, I’m not going back. Zhao: What, you dare disobey me your own father!? Zhang: Ever since mom died, you became a shallow, miserable, ungrateful old piece of shit who tries to control our whole family!!!! The only reason why you are forcing me to marry that piece of shit Akira Sugamoto is for the money!!!! THAT’S NOT LOVE IF YOU FORCE PEOPLE INTO MARRYING SOMEONE WHO HAS NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU!!!! Zhao: I can’t believe this, my own daughter disobeying my wishes, and betraying your blood status as a Dao! Caleb: ENOUGH!!! DO YOU HONESTLY I CARE IF SHE’S A DAO OR NOT!!!!! IF SHE’S A MERCENARY LIKE ME, SHE SHOULD HAVE THE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE WHATEVER SHE WANTS TO LOVE!!!!!! Zhang: He’s right dad, if I’m a Mercenary, then you can’t really control who I love, I need to keep an open mind and heart so that way I would know my destiny and my true love. Zhao: K-Kwan Ha…? Zhang: Yes, my mom always reminds me to follow my heart’s desire, maybe you should do that too. Come on Caleb, we’re going to save Pavitra Jyōti Temple. Zhao: Zhang, wait! Zhang: *Looks back at Zhao,* Zhao: You’ll need these. *Gives Zhang her sports bag containing clothes as well as some sleeping bags and pillows,* You have a long journey ahead of you. Zhang: Dad, why are you being so kind all the sudden? Zhao: Listen Zhang, when you were born, your mother told me of her vision where you would become a powerful and skilled Mercenary who worked along side 2 Warriors in Red and the Master Chief himself to ending the Human-Covenant War, I see now that it’s destiny. Zhang: Wait, mom had a vision of me playing part in ending the Human-Covenant War? Caleb: If that’s the case than you’ll have to come with us, once we are done with this mission, we’ll take you to Reach to meet up with Chief! Hanzaku: He’s right, you have to come with us. Zhang: Then I’ll be glad save the galaxy with you 2. Zhao: Caleb, Hanzaku, my brave Warriors in Red, take good care of my daughter. Caleb: It’ll be an honor sir. *Bows to Zhao.* Hanzaku: *Bows to Zhao as well.* Zhao: *Bows back at Caleb and Hanzaku.* Zhao: May the Lotus be your pathway to your destiny. *Zhang then begins going on her mission with Caleb and Hanzaku, they in a trail that leads to a hidden cave.* Caleb: This trail leads to a cave wide enough to fit an entire ship, we used that cave to park our ship. Zhang: You parked your ship at the Cave me and my brother used to go when we were kids? Mao: *Runs to Zhang, Caleb and Hanzaku.* ZHANG!!!!!! *Stops at the right moment.* I wanna come with you too, you’re gonna need a skilled ship mechanic. Caleb: Thanks but I have been fixing the Crescent for 10 years. Mao: But I can also fight, I know how to use guns. *Reveals his M6G Magnum.* Hanzaku: Hmm, alright, I like your moxie man, you can be our mechanic. Mao: *Is also carrying his sports bag of clothes as well as his pillows and sleeping bag.* So, where’s your ship? *They go inside the Hidden Cave to see a White Lotus Shuttle whose Crescent Wings are spray painted with graffiti, the left wing being spray painted with the words: “M13 Crescent” and the right wing being spray painted with the words: “Class A White Lotus Shuttle”.* Mao: Woah, that’s your ship, why does it have graffiti on it? Caleb: Because it’s a slick way of expressing your art skills. Art is a form of self-expression that no one can take from you. Zhang: Yeah, but graffiti isn’t art, it’s vandalism! Hanzaku: Not if it’s used in spaceships and areas where people can spray paint anytime they want so long as the cops don’t see it. Zhang: Oh, so you think it’s OK to do things like smoke pot and paint graffiti because no one says it’s not. Caleb: Look, sometimes narcs aren’t the best people, if a cop comes at your business, it’ll be the last thing you’d want to have. Zhang: *Sighs.* I’m gonna be stuck with a couple of pothead graffiti artists for the rest of my life.. Mao: *Examines the M13 Crescent.* Hmmm, other than the spray paints, the ship seems to be in good condition. Caleb: Thanks, I make sure there’s nothing damaged. Hanzaku: You wanna go inside? Zhang: Sure, I guess… *They got inside the M13 Crescent, inside is a lounging area, with kitchen, a bathroom, 2 bedrooms and a cockpit.* Caleb: It’s not much but it’s our ship. Zhang: Wow, it actually looks very comfy. Hanzaku: Yep, it’s like our little RV, but in spaceship. Caleb: Yep, this White Lotus Shuttle can shoot down enemy ships with its turrets and heavy guns, it’s also used for traveling and camping, you can just sit back and relax and play some games. Zhang: Hmm, this White Lotus Shuttle does seem very comforting. Caleb: *He senses someone coming up behind him, and quickly turns around.* *Behind him was a middle aged man with brown greasy hair and blue eyes, wearing a UNSC Commanding Officer uniform.* ???: So, you guys are headed to Pavitra Jyōti Temple, aren’t you Son-Caleb? Caleb: Cmdr. Gorman. Adm. Gorman: It’s Adm. now. Hanzaku: What do you want Burn? Adm. Gorman: Oh I’m just here because I was informed of you and Hanzaku’s arrival, the Flame Star Mercenary and the Piercing Fang Mercenary are welcomed guests. Care for some refreshments? Hanzaku: Thanks but we need to get going. Caleb: Wait Hanzaku, I’ll handle this. *To Burn.* We would be honored to be at your service, do you have any Canada Dry Ginger Ale, it’s my favorite. Zhang: What about me, can I come and have some drinks? Adm. Gorman: The Dragon Thunder Mercenary, it would be an honor. *They go to Base 13 just a few miles away from Riyadh, they were given each a glass of Canada Dry Ginger Ale.* Adm. Gorman: So, as you might already know, the UNSC-Insurrection War ended when the last Insurrectionist in Madrigal, Kwan Ha died from pneumonia. Of course, that didn’t stop new Insurrectionists from ever being born as Mercenaries. Zhang: 😲 Hanzaku: So, if the child of an Insurrectionist is Ki Sensitive then they won’t need to worry about being Insurrectionists because they would grow up under the teachings of Grand Lotus Masters. Caleb: Hanzaku’s got a point, that war ended when I was about 6, why see the point in continuing it? Adm. Gorman: Well, it just means it’s not really over, the peace treaty for the UNSC-Insurrection War is far too merciful of a punishment for treason. Caleb: You mean the fact that the Insurrection was disbanded? Because I don’t think a death penalty towards them would necessarily be a peace negotiation, in fact, it’s the opposite of peaceful. Hanzaku: Mercy is not a sign of weakness, violence can solve all our problems. Adm Gorman: Oh, of course you Mercenaries are very respected monks that are known for being peace keepers, but a peace treaty is rigged and needed to be eliminated and rewrote into a peace treat where Insurrectionist scum don’t deserve to live in our perfect human empire and that their punishment is death. Caleb: Committing genocide against a group of a specific group of people all because what their ancestors did something wrong first, wouldn’t that be no different to the Holocaust that took place in WWII? If such peace negotiation like this happened, history would just look at it as nothing more than senseless discrimination. A human army killing a group of other humans for national pride and power. Adm. Gorman: But in war, you must gain the advantage of your enemies to win your battles, and gain all the power and influence to the whole galaxy, even taking it further by freeing us all from the human curse of mortality and become closer to god, isn’t that what evolution is about, letting the strong win and the weak lose? Caleb: Evolution knows when it has its limits. And mortality isn’t a curse, immortality is, deities maybe immortal, but there’s a reason why human’s aren’t it dates back thousands of years. Adm. Gorman: You heads are stuck on the clouds of your shameful past as always, no wonder Japan lost to America back in WWII the Americans know the Japanese can’t destroy America’s ever growing economy. Don’t you dare bring up your ancestors’ failures to maintain that peace you Banished Monks protected, resulting in their banishment from normal society. Caleb: Do you really think failure is just a pain? I mean, I get it, no one likes to fail, but maybe it’s best if we actually remember those failures and try to become better people, instead of resulting in extreme methods to scare people into not failing and forgetting their failures by killing civilians! Adm. Gorman: They deserved it, they were Insurrectionists, they sided with an Insurrectionist-Born Mercenary and for their crimes, they are executed in public for their treasonous disgrace. Caleb: They were innocent people who are protesting a well-known Mercenary whose mother no longer sided with the Insurrection. You don’t treat people like Hanzaku as if they were human! Adm. Gorman: That’s because Insurrectionists are terrorists, spreading terror and violence runs in their blood. Caleb: There are things in this universe far more powerful than blood, you know? People shouldn’t be judged based on their appearances or where they came from, people should be judged based on actions at heart. And you, you don’t have a heart inside you, I could sense how tiny your heart is. *He places his hand on where Adm. Gorman’s chest is,* Caleb: It’s so tiny, it barely has enough room for friends, family, or anyone in particular, not even yourself. You’re just a small man trying all in his might to be big. Hanzaku: *Thoughts* Hmmph! Caleb just proved that even though Mercenaries are the Banished Monks, that too is actually a blessing in disguise. Mercenaries are often underestimated based on how the rest of society feels about us, when a Merc feels threatened, their Ki takes over and uses every means necessary to exploit their enemies, we call this, Ki Sense. Zhang: Yeah! That’s right! The UNSC are supposed to protect the innocent and maintain their power, you’re not a Colonial Leader, you’re a bully! A freeloading shit, abusing your power! You don’t want peace or democracy! You’re messing with a group of people, who are very different from you because of their family’s past as Insurrectionists! You don’t just bully your enemies, you bully people, people like me, who had an Insurrectionist for a mother, who gave that up to have me, my dad, and my annoying brother Mao! You’re a very shitty human being! And the whole galaxy is better off without you! In the name of my mother! I’ll kick your ass!!!! *Channels her Lightning Ki through her whole body.* Caleb: Hmmph! Looks like messed with the wrong crowd Buddy, you made a very big mistake trying to underestimate a Mercenary, your pride is your greatest downfall Burn! Adm. Gorman: You little shit! I’m make you pay for calling me by my first name!!!! Everyone has to call me Adm. Gorman for respect!!! AND YOU HAVE NONE!!!! *He punches with his right prosthetic arm that mimics Lightning Ki.* Caleb: *He breathes and uses his Fire Ki to deflect the punch and then unleashes a fire blast punch right into Adm. Gorman’s face.* Adm. Gorman: *Gets launched into a coffee brewing table and it got destroyed as soon as he landed on it, creating a crater of some sort of metal where he laid there injuries and bleeding in some areas.* UNSC Marines 1 & 2: 😱😱 Caleb: Fire Ki beats prosthetic. Zhang: *She powers down her Lightning Ki.* Adm. Gorman: Damnit boy! That really hurt, that punch felt very scorching, but is this really all you can do? Your father raised a coward. Caleb: Next time you get in our way, I promise, I won’t hesitate to kill you. *Begins to leave.* Adm. Gorman: *He then unleashes a flame thrower kick from his Prosthetic right leg when Caleb’s back is turned.* Hanzaku: *Senses it coming and uses his Fire Ki to block it and pushes Burn aside.* Caleb: *He tries to attack,* Hanzaku: *Prevents him from doing so.* No Caleb! Don’t taint your victory! *Looks at Burn.* So this is how the great Adm. Gorman acts in defeat? Tsk tsk! How disgraceful! Even if Mercenaries are Banished Monks, we are still more honorable than you. Caleb: Yeah, but thanks for the Ginger Ale, it was delicious. C’mon Zhang, Hanzaku, we gotta get to Pavitra Jyōti Temple. *Begins to leave the base.* Hanzaku and Zhang: *Follows as well.* *The next scene shows Caleb, Hanzaku and Zhang all got back into the M13 Crescent, 23 Librae begins to set.* Zhang: That was so amazing, your Ki felt very powerful, more powerful than any other Mercenary, I’m so sorry I underestimated you before, you’re actually a powerful and respected warrior. Caleb: That was barely nothing compared to my Flaming Star Burst, I didn’t need to show all my power to win my fights. Hanzaku: Yeah, Caleb is sure the most powerful Mercenary in the galaxy, he was trained by the Master Chief himself. Caleb: Yeah, my master trained me to be like steel. He’s the best Spartan in the galaxy, being the beckon of hope humanity needs to win their battles against the Covenant. Zhang: WOW, a Zen Monk trained by the best Spartan in the Galaxy, what a fulfilling life that must be. Caleb: It’s not really that easy, training with a Spartan is brutal, I trained so hard, my body became as hard as metal. I even had to replace my headband, Gi and Sandals because they ripped as my body grew. Hanzaku: Yep, I have been his best friend since our days in the academy. Caleb: Yep, always by my side no matter what. Zhang: You know, if we’re gonna end this war, we’ll have to stick together. Caleb: Yep, we have so much to do, so much to work to get done, we have to play our part in ending this war. *Caleb puts out his iPhone Nano and goes to Apple Galaxy and types out “Pavitra Jyōti Temple, East Sudan, Madrigal” and started the route.* Siri: Starting route Pavitra Jyōti Temple. Fly East using the Ga’luga River for 60 miles. Caleb: Welp, you heard Siri, we gotta get moving. *Begins to pilot the ship and begins to fly East using the Ga’luga River.* *To be Continued*

Nolaki: Yes, but we are also in the process of colonizing the UNSC for 300 years, we try to make up from all the damage we caused over the years. Laura: *She is a Transgender Sylveon who is thicc! With blue eyes and pink curly hair and the second of War Councilors.* Well to be honest, you Mercenaries are great and powerful monks with superhuman abilities, so great and powerful in fact, that you monks were banished from normal society, their destructive capabilities are powerful enough to destroy an entire fleet of Covenant Ships, very useful this Banished Monks have been. Nolaki: Yes, what people and ourselves thought to be curses were merely blessings in disguise, we’re always an important ally to the UNSC. Jake: It is a pleasure to have you in our presence Lord Hasukage, the Human-Covenant War has spread too thin, millions of people are dying Nolaki, we’re vastly outmatched and numbered of almost no hope, Nolaki: Hmm! Maybe by brute force alone, yes, but in your mind and breath, more powerful they are against the Covenant, using those skills on the battlefield will make all the difference in the whole galaxy.
