Outlander
Chapter 1: Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt was a normal day Rogue got out of bed later than usual around 9:00am looks around sits up and get out of bed, standing up Rogue walks over to the window. Opening the curtains and look out it’s a good day if Rogue remember right the weather forecast was sunny all day. “Should be nice all day, maybe I can take my sister somewhere nice when they get home from school,” Rogue said to himself.
Rogue turned around grabbed his Black and silver dressing gown off the door hook and headed to the shower, when Rogue get to the shower he strip off turn on the shower and takes the time to clean everywhere. Around 30 minutes later Rogue was out of the shower and getting dressed, Rogue put on a set of blue jeans, the Cyan sapphire necklace he got from his two younger sisters, a red long sleeve t-shirt and set of brown leather hiking shoes that were very comfortable.
After Rogue got dressed he grabbed a custom lightsaber from a sword stand went down stairs to the ten acre garden of his family’s large privet estate, and started to practice lightsaber form 5 which is the same style used by Anakin Skywlaker in revenge of the Sith, Rogue didn’t brag but he knew he was good because he was able to copy the moves from the films and even do some moves from the comics.
Rogue had been training for almost three hours when he put his Lightsaber the belt clip and went to his privet workshop to finish up some of his paid projects, like making and testing high power motion assist servos for a new type of mechanised battle unit not too different from the iconic Mobile suit Gundam mecha. Rogue’s workshop was top of the range the best his milt-billionaire parents could buy, with enough custom technology and machines to put Ironman’s MCU workshop to sham a hundred times over.
Rogue went to a screen and video called Dr Yama-to Tanashi who Rogue was working for to give him an update on his progress. “Dr Tanashi I have good news, the parts you’ve hired me to build and test are ready for shipping and will be with you in a few days,” Rogue said in to his web-cam to the middle aged Japanese man on the screen.
“Thank you Rogue, your assistance on this project has been essential for its completion, as such I invite you to Japan for the unveiling, we could not have done this without you,” Dr Tanashi said thanking Rogue for the part he played in the beginning of a new age of armored infantry.
“It would be an honor to be there and see the fruits of my labour first hand, until then Dr Tanashi I wish you good health and good luck,” Rogue said ending the call. Sanding up and looking over at his 1970’s black Dodge Charger that has a supercharged v8 engine with twin turbo, Rogue went to take a step but his strength left him and he collapsed into unconsciousness and vanished from Earth before he hit the ground.
Some time later Rogue woke up and the first thing that he noticed was that he was now in a forest and not is at home workshop, Rogue sat up letting a skull splitting ponding in his head pass preventing him from doing much. When it passed Rogue got to his feet and looked around his surroundings. “Strange I don't know this woodland, it's not from my home town… ok I should do a check of what I have on me, still got my phone my wallet and my lightsaber no blade, can still use it as a flashlight,” Rogue said to himself knowing the battery if fully charged, so Rogue pressed the activation button and to his surprise the blade came out "What the hell," Rogue thought to him self deactivating the lightsaber and reattached it to his belt clip to confused to question what was happening.
“I should start moving," Rogue said not feeling safe in such an open space in unfamiliar territory "I think I will go this way,” Rogue said pointing a finger in a random direction, just as he started moving, a roar like nothing on Earth echoed from somewhere deep in the forest. “Ok I have seen a lot of wild life documentaries, and I have never heard anything like that,” Rogue said not wanting to find out what kind of beast the roar came from.
Around an hour of running later Rogue stopped when he come across an old fort, it looks like one of the forts from Skyrim, but completely abandoned and mostly over grow with plants. Rogue decide to check it out “I might be able to find something useful and catch my breath while I'm at it.” Rogue said out loud breathing heavily.
As Rogue entered the fort's grounds slowly making mental notes that the fort was badly decayed and that some of the stones had fallen out of place “This place is falling apart, I’ll have to watch my step,” Rogue said as he enter the centre of the forts grounds and notice a stair case made of stone to the left and some old training dummies to the right. Rogue walk up the stairs onto the wall and notice half the fort was built over a cliff “Holey shit, I'll need to be extra careful.” Rogue said to as he continued to explore the grounds.
Rogue decided to ground level and enter the fort through a door in the main courtyard to look around “...Wait this looks like an armoury, maybe I can find a normal sword, I don’t want to reveal my lightsaber unless I have to” Rogue said looking left and see a big stained glass window on the far side that depicts two woman with wings and horns sealing a strange monster that like it was made of several creatures in stone "I wouldn't want to be that guy." Rogue said before moving on.
Rogue looked around for half an hour but all the gear was rusted beyond use, just as Rogue was about to leave he spotted something from the corner of his eye, it was a dark grey cloak with a hood that has an Assassin’s Creed style hood point and three leather straps over the upper left arm. “It’s not a sword but I can still use it,” Rogue said as he reach out and grabbed the cloak, put it on before finding the shattered remains of a mirror and looking at himself.
Rogue turned around and put the hood up not knowing that unbreakable shadows had covered his face, Rogue went back outside not sure of where to go next “I should find a view point and get the lay of the land,” Rogue said looking for a high place and spotting the only tower the fort had “Top of that tower should be high enough,” Rogue said heading to the tower, when he got to the top he was able to see for miles all round.
From the top of the watch tower Rogue spotted something to the west “Looks a town on the other side of this forest… wait is that a ruined castle as well, I guess this forest wasn’t always hear,” Rogue said mildly surprised at what he cold see from the top of the tower “Well now that I have a direction it’s time to move,” Rogue said to himself but out of nowhere his phone started to ring so he pulled it out of his pocket and answered.
"Hello?" Rogue asked but all he got was static and then battery got very hot very fast so Rogue dropped his phone and the battery exploded "Fucking great, now I have to buy a new one when I get home” Rogue said leaving the fort in considerably worse mood than when he arrived.
