Glad you like it.

As far as releasing the chapters, I might release a few more close together. After that, I'll probably release one or two each weekend.
EDIT: OMG CHAPTER 3. Enjoy.

Chapter 3: The Replacement

Sonyk coughed a few times before opening his eyes. His head felt as though a huge plasma TV had been dropped on it – he could barely think from the pain. He forced himself to open his eyes and take a look at his surroundings. The first thing he noticed is that he was strapped onto a wobbly old chair. His restraints were tight, but not tight enough to cause any pain. He then began to look cautiously around the room – he had no idea how long he’d be there, but he wanted to be sure he knew his surroundings well enough that he’d be prepared for anything. He was in the back of a dark room that was apparently used for storage; there were boxes all over the floor, some stacked on top of each other. In the southeast (or what he thought was southeast) corner of the room, there were some stairs heading upward and a hatch on the ceiling. Shortly after turning his attention away from the hatch, he heard a loud CLANG. He immediately redirected his attention to the hatch, and found that it was opening. He could barely see in his badly lit surroundings, but it looked like someone was coming in. Whoever it was, they were about six feet tall and seemed to have long hair. “Hello, Sonyk. We’ve been watching you,” the dark figure said.

Black Ninja had never seen Fooruman so mad in his entire life. “Black Ninja, if you can’t even install a lousy phpBB mod, what good are you?” He screamed.

“Master, the mod installation is nearly complete. Um…I think the reason I’m having so much trouble is because of all the mistakes that worthless Sonyk made.”

“I’m tired of not getting things done right, BN. I’m just sick and tired of it. That’s why I have a little surprise for you. Come in now, Elliot.”

Black Ninja watched as the entrance to Fooruman’s room opened slowly. Through the new opening came a short rabbit with a big gun. He closed the door behind him, walked to Fooruman’s side, and just stood there. He didn’t salute or anything – it made BN furious. “Master, this cretin doesn’t even salute as he enters the room! How shall I punish him for this impudence?”

[indent]“You won’t be punishing him. You’ll be training him. He’s Sonyk’s replacement,” Fooruman said with somewhat of a smile on his face. “I expect you to treat him like a brother. If he says one negative thing about you to me, you’ll be sleeping on the castle stairs tonight. Is that understood?”

“Certainly…master.” Black Ninja couldn’t believe it. After Sonyk’s terrible betrayal, he didn’t think Fooruman would ever take in another outsider.

Black Ninja’s thoughts were interrupted by Elliot. “Hey, BN. I must say, it’s an honor to finally meet you. I’m a huge fan of the work you and Fooruman do!”

Fooruman laughed. “You don’t need to speak with that kind of respect to Black Ninja, Elliot. BN, if you would, please excuse us. We have business to discuss.”

Black Ninja didn’t respond. He merely shrugged his shoulders, left the room, and headed towards his quarters.

“Sonyk, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you’ve recently lost your home.”

“Why should I tell you anything?”

The stranger laughed. They then reached into one of the boxes and pulled out a shotgun. They turned the safety off and pointed it straight into Sonyk’s face. “You don’t have to tell me anything,” the stranger said, “but it might be beneficial to you if you do.”
