Air Warrior

I was a part of a secret government organization.  I don't think they knew, but I was very special.  I could control the wind.  They had decided that they were finished with me, so my handler sent another lady to kill me.  One of my good friends was also on the rooftop where they decided my execution would take place.  I really didn't want to die, so I tried to convince the lady not to do it.  She had a syringe, filled with something that looked nasty.  I used a gust of air to knock it out of her hands, and she was impressed.  My friend and I finally convinced her that she shouldn't kill me.  I took my chance, and flew away.  I flew alongside the building and away from it.  My iron will was the only thing that wouldn't let me fall.  I kept going until I knew for certain that I was safe.

Eventually, I came to a cave. There were a few others who were also going into the cave.  When we into the cave, we looked for a good place to settle for the night.  We started exploring the cave, and as another guy and I were walking towards the largest opening, something was coming towards us.  It was a very large, troll like creature, with tentacles.  I tried to put up a wall of air to stop him, but he just walked straight through.  We were terrified, and started to run away, but then we stopped.

"Don't be afraid!  I'm just here to play!"
When he entered the room, it came to life.  There were tons of toys, arcade games, and so many other things to do all over the cave.  for hours, it must have been, we spent there playing.  The whole time, something felt wrong to me.  I started to tell a few of the guys about my misgivings, but they were not convinced.
"You don't trust me?" The monster said.
Then, the four guys who were playing at one of the biggest games in the room fell into a vat of boiling water.  He was going to eat us!  I knew it!   I messed with the controls on the games, and the vat fell over, and the guys came spilling out.  Only three of them had survived.  The monster was then after me.  I flew up to a rafter to escape from him.

"You will only ever be able to just barely escape from me,"  He said.
He jumped, and even thought the rafter was fairly high, he almost grabbed me.  He caught a part of the coat I had been wearing, and I let it fall with him.  I looked up, and saw a higher rafter, and flew to it.  The next time he jumped, he was still far too close for comfort, and grabbed my belt.  I let that fall as well.  It was then that a boy piped up.  One of the smallest in the room, but obviously the brightest.
"But wait.  You can't be real.  There is only one reason that this would all happen. This must be a test, and only the pure hearted would get through."

"And you have failed."
"No, by not falling for your trickery, we have one."
Behind the largest game, where the big vat of water once was, a bit of the wall was shimmering, and starting to disappear.  Behind it, was a door.  I opened the door, and went through.  The tunnel led us down a ways, into another chamber.  In this chamber were a few nuclear missiles, and three computers, all ready to launch these, and more missiles.  There were just a few people in the room at first, and then several centaurs rode in.
"Welcome, honored guests," they said.
