Title: Varun's Past Author: (Razorwind and Varun's Player) Characters: Varun Tsunami, Merric Tsunami and Marine Tsunami Intro: Time before the take over on Mobius Before Varun Tsunami became the great leader of the Aquarius Freedom Fighter that everyone knows today, before the take over of Mobius even happen Varun was nothing more then a child but not any normal child. No, while every other child was living their lives as normal kids without a care in the world Varun had a much harder life and today that story is about to be told. The days of when Varun was struggling to survive on the streets of Urser without anyone to care for him but himself. One night on a cold and rainy day two married couple seabears by the name of Merric and Marine Tsunami seem to be running from something. Whatever they are running from they run into a dark alley where Marine seems to set something downin a box like shelter. She removes the blanket to reveal a small baby seabear boy with two blue streaks in his hair, much like his mother. Marine puts her hand on her son's check with tears falling down her eyes. Merric walks behind his wife and puts her hand on her shoulder "Come on dear. Time for us to go." Marine looks up at her husband with tears still falling from her eyes "I know but do we really need to abandon Varun like this? Couldn't we at least place him in someone's care?" Merric sighs and shakes his head at her question "Sorrythere is no time. I know you don't like this but it is the only way to make sureour son is safe. We just have to hope that someone will find him and give him a good home." Marine cries hard but knows he is right and looks back to Varun and kisses himon the cheek. "Good bye Varun. I will always love you." She places a picture ofthem and Varun next to him and gets up, continuing to cry. Merric hugs Marine tightly and kisses her cheek "Let's get going." The two finally manage to leavethe alley, leaving their son to fend for himself. Soon after Varun cries himself,wanting his parent's care but that cry for his parents' is never answer. Unaware that his parents left him Varun keeps on crying and crying until finally he cries himself to sleep. The next day Varun awakes to find that he is in a new surrounding then he normally is and being a child he is clueless to what had happen. He looks around in his smallshelter to find the picture his mom left for him and picks it up, looking at it "Mommy, Daddy." The only few words he knows and slowly crawls out of his shelter and stands to his feet, placing his picture in his small pocket and tries walking out of the alley. Varun walks out of the alley and into a part of the city he has never been in before,not even with his parents. The young seabear searches all over for his parentstrying to get him from anyone he can but without the ability to communicate withothers well that is a very hard thing to do for him. Finally after so many hours the young seabear returns to his box like shelter, having no luck or no help in finding his parents. Varun cries softly, wiping his tears from his eyes as he realizes "Mommy and Daddy, gone." He softly sets his head down on the pillow and closes his eyes, falling asleep. As the years past Varun waited and waited for his parents to return in the same spot that they left him. While he waited he learned how to survive on his own by watching those that past by. Learning such things like talking better, how to get food and water, cooking the food he gets, how to create clothes for himself from materials that he took and other skills that will help him survive on his own. As he grew older his hope that his parents would return to him fade away and his hatred to them grew. Slowly each day Varun cared less and less if he ever found his parents again but something inside of him wanted to see them again. That is why he keeps the picture he was given by his mother before she left with his father the day he was abandon with him always. Now Varun is five and has gotten pretty use to being by himself and living on the streets of Urser and always moving from place to place, having a new home each time he moves to a new part of the city. Varun never feels welcome anywhere he goes so that is why he usually moves around but another reason is that most other parts of town have more materials, food and water for him to take so he can survive for yet another day. Normally Varun is very good in taking stuff without being caught but today that will change. Young Varun wanders into the market place and looks around like he is just exploring but once he finds a stand that has what he needs he slowly makes his way towards it. Varun slowly approaches the stand and smirks "Now to get this guy to look away long enough for me to grab a few things." He thinks and looks around and tries to figure out a way to distract the guy at the stand. Varun thinks up a simple idea and walks up to the guy "Excuse me mister. But there was someone in that alley over there." He points in the alley and continues to speak "Who said he had something for you." The shopkeeper looks at Varun and wonders "What does he have of mine?" Varun shrugs "Not sure but he said it was yours." The shopkeeper has no idea what Varun could mean but decides to check it anyway. Varun grins and begins taking some of his stuff "What a sucker." He keeps on taking and placing them in a small bag that is tied to his belt shopkeeper returns and catches Varun trying to steal from him. "Hey you kid." Varun quickly turns his head and sees that the shopkeeper came back sooner then he thought so he grabs what he can and runs. The shopkeeper chases Varun and yells to anyone that can hear him "Help police. That little brat is running off with some of my merchandise." Lucky for the shopkeeper their was two police officers in the area and spotted the scene and begin to chase Varun as well. Varun looks back to see who is chasing him and tries to pick up speed "Geez, the cops. Better move faster." The young seabear picks up speed and runs as fast as he can but the polices and shopkeeper are just as fast and finally Varun is caught. "Alright you. Give back this guys merchandise and we will have a talk with your parents." The thought of his parents gets Varun somewhat angry and instead of trying to struggle he decides to fight, slapping his tail in front of one of the police officer until he drops him. The other police officer slowly approaches Varun and said in a soft voice "Now calm down little guy. No one is going to hurt you. Now please stop this and come with us." Varun growls softly and takes one of the fruit in his bag and tosses it up then he swings his tail to smack the fruit right into the police officer's eyes, blinding him for the moment. Varun takes this moment to run away fast, looking back at them as he runs "Sorry but if you want me you got to catch me." The police officer with the fruit in his eyes gets a little angry himself and said to the other one "After that kid. Get some back up too." The other police officer nods and sends a transmission to any officers in the area to look out for a small male s eabear with blue streaks in his hair. It doesn't take long for other officers to spot Varun and begin to chase him. Varun leads everyone that was chasing him into a restaurant where he jumps on to the tables and begins throwing food at the officers that follow him in. He laughs and once he runs out of food he begins throwing plates and bowls and once he runs out of those he hops off the table and runs into the kitchen and into the back door which leads him into an alley. "Hah, let's see those cops catch me now." Varun runs to the exit of the alley but is corner by two officers then the ones that were following him in the restaurant come out the back door and trap Varun from behind "Now I'm not going to ask again kid. Come with us now." One officer said. Varun shakes his head and is not ready to give up yet, not by a mile. He looks around to see if there is any other way of escaping and all he can find is the fire escape ladder and quickly jumps on it and climbs up before he can be grab. Some officers follow him the same way Varun went and others go into the building to see if they can get Varun from inside. Varun climbs to the top and looks around on every edge of this roof. He finds a wire that connects to this building and the one across the streets and a clothes line where he grabs one of the clothes that were hanging from it and wraps it around the wire "Hope this works." He jumps off the edge and slides down the wire and safely ends up on the other building. By the time the other officers get there Varun is already on the other building "For a kid he sure has skills." Since Varun is already running down to the streets the officers quit the chase for him and let him get away this time. Varun runs out of the building and out of the streets to his temporary home on the outside of the market place. Once Varun arrives he takes a seat somewhere to catch his breath and looks at what he gather "That was a close one. Good thing I got away with everything that I didn't use on those cops." He stands up and places the bag in his small storage area and takes a spot on his small bed and lies down, yawning big "Boy am I tired. I think I will rest for a little while." Varun slowly closes his eyes and falls asleep after his hard day and tomorrow he plans on returning to the market place to gather more things but this time he will be more quicker or at least that what he thinks he is doing tomorrow. Unaware to Varun that tomorrow will change his life forever, as tomorrow is the take over of Urser and the beginning of Varun's path of being a leader and a hero.
