Fairy Tail

For anyone who likes any form of manga, I would recommend the series Fairy Tail.  It is set in a faraway land with magic where magic is used as an everyday utility.  Some people, however, dedicate their lives to magic and are called (yes) wizards.  Wizards for magical guilds and the one that most of the main characters come from is (again, yes) the Fairy Tail guild.  If I am anything to go off of with completing about 60 episodes in a week, this is an EXTREMELY good series.  My dad is hesitant about it because it looks (and I quote) "too wacky".  He probably says this because he has been looking over my shoulder occasionally and hasn't heard any on the dialogue.  (He also probably only saw the weird parts).  It may be weird, but it is a hilarious show that keeps you entranced trough every second of it.  There hasn't been one part that has made me want to look away from the screen.  If you aren't reading or watching it, I would highly recommend that you start now.  I am watching it with English dubbed, just so that I can watch without worrying about getting all the text.  I know some people think that subbed is the only way to do it, and they can.  If I have convinced you an you want to go and watch Fairy Tail until your eyes bleed, then I would recommend watching it off of dailymotion.  The site doesn't do commercials and has (as far as I know) all of the episodes in at least dubbed and most likely subbed as well.  There is also Funimation that you can watch it off of, but only up to episode 4 without a membership and has A LOT of repeating commercials.

The Magic Within- Prologue

Prologue

Through the darkness a man saw his target, a creature that didn’t even deserve the air that he breathed, let alone the piles of money that he held above everyone else.  Readying his sword, he tested the blade, perfectly sharp.  He didn’t expect anything less.  He had sharpened it the night before.  But before he could attack, his target said, “You might as well come out with it.”
Walking out of the shadows, the man sheathed his sword, but didn’t lower his defenses.  His face was one that might have once caught the hearts of women, but it was now ruined by the nose that looked like it had been broken at least once.  He had ragged black hair the look that it was cut with his own knife and piercing brown eyes like a hawk that were so dark they looked black.  His outfit was simple but practical with blacks and greys that blended into the night better that pure black.  The man opposite to him had flawless features that had caused him to be accused of being a warlock more than a few times.  Holding women’s hearts with almond colored, perfectly shaped eyes and white-blond, shoulder length hair.  All the young men in the city wished that they had his features to attract girl like he did.
“Where is she.” the man demanded.
“Is that how you greet me, my old companion.”
“Don’t call me that Cormac.  You were never a companion of mine.” cut in the other man before Cormac could finish.”Your words are filled with poison.”
“Tsk, tsk Allister.  It seems that you really are a slow learner.  I obviously didn’t teach you a good enough listen last time.”  At these words, Allister unconsciously rubbed the inside of his arm where he still had a prominent scar where Cormac had “taught him a lesson” only a year ago.
“Just tell me where she is.” He said, almost with remorse.
“ Why should I tell you.  That would take all of the fun out of it.  Watching you chase your tail around an obvious answer. Give me a very good reason and I might even give you a slight hint of where she might be.”
“What kind of deal is that! Do you really expect me to play along with your twisted game?”
“It is the only offer you’ll get.”  Cormac said with smirk that only enhanced his features.
“I won’t betray her.  Not like you and everyone else did.” Allister said softly, looking down and his feet, beaten.
“A very legit answer, Allister.”  Cormac said and he was rewarded with a surprised glance from the other man.
“You mean you’ll tell me!”
“Of course.  I am a man of my word.”  Cormac said while his form started glistening as he was started to use his powers to leave the city in a blink of an eye.
Allister looked up and saw Cormac in his final stages of teleporting.”No!” he said, with his eyes wide,”You promised!”
“And I also promised all of you sentimental ‘heros’ that I would be your brother and never betray you.  You should have never trusted me, you fool.”
“Cormac, you filthy piece of scum!  I swear on the souls of my fallen brother that fell beneath your feet, I will kill you and scatter your ashes in the lowest pit of the Shadow Rider’s Domain.”
Cormac laughed, chilling the bones of every creature that had every heard it.  “Allister, making deals with the Lord of Death is dangerous.  I should know, I have made my own deals with the Shadow Rider and his Dark Champion.  You are too narrow-minded and it causes you underestimate me.  That is why the others died.  But I will give you a hint and watch you dance” He said, almost completely translucent.
All Allister heard was a faint name riding on the wind but it was unmistakably Cormac’s whispery, cool voice.  It said,”William.”

Nick Fury

My dad and I were watching Captain America where he, of course, gave me background information on Nick Fury.  He told me about Marvel Unlimited and left me under the impression that Marvel Universe was during the time that all comics were "made out of dots" as I put it.  This got a chuckle out of my dad as well as a scold for my great ungeekyness.  Whatever he might post, it was all his fault for giving me the impression that Marvel Unlimited Comics were from when TVs were things of legend.

End of the World: Doctor Who Style

Who would've thought that the world would end through Doctor Who.  One Christmas morning every geek, nerd, and fan sat down in front of their televisions and tuned into the brand new Doctor Who Christmas special.  Like most Christmas specials, it was the start of a new season.  Everything was fine.  The Doctor was doing his normal routine of being attached by Christmas themed aliens and alien technology.  He was finding a new companion or a potential companion and everything was headed for a happy ending.  Suddenly, halfway through the special, a weird message breaks through and all the machines in everyone's houses turn on on their own.  The message comes through in ones and zeros, like a computer but so fast you couldn't tell any of the words apart.  Just as suddenly as it starts, it stops.  The normal program is back on and all of the machines have stopped.  Confused, people go back to watching the Doctor save the day when they hear the sound that often means a two part episode. "Exterminate! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!" This is the sound of a Dalek.  The Daleks are the sworn enemies of the time lords and therefor, the Doctor. But there was something different about these Daleks.  They seemed closer and more real.  Suddenly, a Dalek appears in living rooms of every geek, nerd, fan, and random person who tuned into watching Doctor Who.  Keeping true to the Dalek nature even though these Daleks didn't have any idea where they were, the Daleks strove to become the ultimate species and to do that, kill all others.  On Christmas morn, the Daleks battle cry rang in the ears of all of planet Earth, "Exterminate! Exterminate!"  All of the people who had ever watched Doctor Who hoped upon hope that the Doctor would appear but it was not to be.  For this is a sad world without a Doctor or any time lords out there to save them.  Within an hour all but one person on planet Earth was dead.  A man with no memory and two hearts named John Smith.
