THE
THREE KEYS
Part
One: The Key of Spirit
Chapter One: Surprise
Visit
It was a
beautiful morning on Agency Isle. The state-of-the-art training facility
was busy as always. Outside, GWB was training the younger recruits in the
art of self-defense. Inside, Drag was training the older rookies with
advanced weaponry. And Anonymous Benefactor was, as always, nowhere in
sight.
G64 was in his private quarters, shining his WKAT Championship trophy. His
mind was elsewhere, reminiscing about Gigan's triumphant victory over GMK King
Ghidorah. Suddenly, he heard the new recruits outside gasp in surprise.
"What's that flying in the sky?" he heard one of them say.
Running outside, G64 saw what all the fuss was about.
In the sky, hovering a few feet above the ground was the large form of the
Draconian, Deathwing. The dragon's wings beat slowly as he landed.
The rookies crowded around him. With a roar, Deathwing made them scatter.
GWB walked over to him. "Hey, Dragonbreath. What's up?"
Deathwing growled angrily. "It's Deathwing, you mortal pipsqueak.
Where is your leader Dragitron? I must speak with him." GWB
took a swig of his bottled water and lit a cigarette as Deathwing stood
patiently waiting for an answer. "He's inside the facility, training
some newbies. You can talk to me."
Deathwing began walking towards the headquarters. "If you won't
direct me to him, I'll find Dragitron myself." GWB ran after him.
"Hey! You can't do that!" G64 shook his head in
embarrassment as he saw what just occurred. "Why do I have a bad
feeling about this?" he said to himself.
------------------------------------------
After the agents were assembled, and Anonymous Benefactor was put on
speakerphone, Deathwing began to recount his plight. "I have come
here for one purpose. I require the services of your agents, Anonymous
Benefactor." A. B. was silent for a moment. "First of all,
you must at least tell us why you need the help of the Agency."
Deathwing nodded. "Yes, I suppose so. For many years, I've been
searching this dimension for an ancient artifact from my home world. Early
on, I had met Black16, and he agreed to help me with my search. However,
after recent events, he is not with us at the moment. You are the next
best thing."
Drag was still unsure. "But what can we do? Don't we have more
important things to deal with, like finding the Three Keys?" The
other agents nodded in agreement. "Yes, and we still have no idea
where the First Key is," said Fudge. Deathwing held out his hands to
quiet his audience down. "I was getting to that. You see, each
key represents a part of a whole being. The Key of Body, the Key of Mind,
and the Key of Spirit. My artifact is called the Dragon's Soul. It
has been missing for thousands of years, and I have just discovered its
location. Legend says that the Dragon's Soul, a jade shaped like a
Draconian's head, contains the power over the ethereal plane. I believe
that my people's jewel may actually be your Key of Spirit!"
Fury was the first to respond. "Well, if that's true, then where can
we find it?" Deathwing continued his story. "I have
recently discovered its possible location. An ancient temple of ice in
Antarctica has been emanating a strange energy as of late. As I neared the
mysterious ruins, I noticed a large flying warship. It appears that your
friends the Garai Tai are way ahead of us all. Naturally, I could not take
them all on myself. If you'll help me, we can retrieve the artifact from
their vile clutches."
"Agreed. Drag, take the agents to this temple. We've got to
stop the Garai Tai at all costs!" said Anonymous Benefactor.
"Understood, A. B.," Drag replied. "All right guys, it's
time we moved out. Deathwing, lead the way!"
