Chapter 1: End and Begginig

My name is Zach Blaisdell. I am writing this in case my parents murderers find me and kill me next. It started two months ago. I had been over at a friends house for a sleepover. After I had left for home I noticed everyone was looking at me and whispering. When I reached the place I had called home for seventeen years I saw the door was open clean off its hinges. When I walked in I couldnt believe my eyes. My parents lay dead, chopped apart viciously. I noticed another body next to my fathers. It was a body covered in black armor with silver trimmings. My parents were properly buried and the other body was taken to a crime lab, but not before I had taken the sword that had been on the body. It had been seven weeks before the murderers tried again to kill someone i knew. They tried to kill my best friend by crushing him under six bookcases. I managed to pull him out of the way in time and saw one of them running away. He had been wearing the same style armour as the one I'd found dead in my old home. I decided then and there that I would run. I belted on the sword I had taken and set off. Its been almost three weeks since then and I dont know where I am but I know that they are getting ever closer even as I wright this. My only hope is that I can avenge my parents deaths.

Dawn was just rising when Zach finished writing his message to whoever would find it. He got up and headed East into the rising sun quickly so as to claim an area with favorable conditions in order to fight and kill his pursuers. About an hour later he found the ideal spot, a rocky outcropping with a large stone pillar sprouting up out of the middle. He stood in plain sight for fifteen minutes until six men in black and silver armour came out of the surrounding woodland. One of them in particular stood out to Zach. He stood five inches taller than the rest and had two horns coming out of the top of his helmet and weilded a large Zweihander style sword.
The man called out," So, you've decided to give up have you? A wise choice, now, hand over the power of the Esper."
" I dont know what you're talking about, and Im not giving up, IM GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!" Zach retorted angrily.
He then took out his sword and charged the group of men yelling. " For my parents!" He took down the first two with a series of hacks and thrusts. Three more fired at him with rifles and were surprised to see him easily avoid the shots. He hurled himself at them and cleaved through each of their heads with a single swipe.
The one with the horns slashed at Zachs unprotected back and said, " Dont mess with me wretched urchin, I am Judge Veromnas of the Empire! None can compare to my power!"
Zach slowley lost conciousness and thought angrily, 'Why, why did it have to end this way?' He suddenly saw a bright light and heard a calm, liquid voice say," I can help you defeat them, but I fear that the strain my power would cause to your body might kill you."
Zach responded," I dont care, as long as I can let my parents souls rest in peace," He then heard the beings response," So be it.
Veromnas was walking away from Zachs body when he heard him get up, " Impossible!" He said.
Zach rose up like a great tidal wave and drew his sword once more. He charged Veromnas at sonic speed and cut him in half, slaying him instantly. Out of nowhere a dark mist erupted from the stone pillar and engulfed Zach. When he awoke he saw a young man who looked to be his twin brother standing in front of him.
The young man said," I am Wolfen Draconis, Esper of the mists. You are dying, I can save you if we become one. I need your help taking down other guys like Veromnas in my own world. Will you join me?"
Zach said," Yes, I wll join you."
"Good, from now on we will be known as Wolfe." Said the Esper
