Eco's Kryptonite II: A Fallen Hero

21 years ago…

-------------------

There was a village in a world of turmoil and corruption but in the mist of all of it there is always one moment in life where life becomes precious and peaceful and that time comes with a birth of a baby. This is what a young couple was getting ready to experience as the young lady was in labor for hours it seemed to the young man. There were loud screams heard all throughout the village and everyone was wondering what all of the commotion was, and the leader of the tribe was wondering the same thing as he approached the couples hut. His name was Samos and he was an influential leader to all of the inhabitants, he knew of everything in the village and he loved it when a new baby was born but even in these rough times he also was hoping that this particular baby would be destined as the warrior of Dark and Light. Samos knocked on the door of the couples home and the young man answered the door and told Samos of the story, and Samos was enthusiastic about children and he used magic to see if the baby was healthy and more importantly how many babies would be born. There was sweat pouring down the young lady's face and the young man was wiping the sweat off of her face and trying to take her mind off of the pain and agony that was labor.

"Hmmm… very interesting this energy is great… its very powerful and to answer your question you are having twins," said an amazed Samos.

"Twins!?!" yelled the young lady, "But we barely have enough to take care of one baby let alone two of them!"

"Stay calm my lady, we will worry about that in due time but you shall be aware of the bigger picture at hand, you are giving birth to the destined hero who will save us and bring this world to peace," said Samos.

The very excited couple was continuing to work on delivering these babies and hours later they were born, one at a time and the first baby was held by the young lady.

"His name will be Jak," said the excited but weary lady.

The young man was holding the other baby and was having a hard time coming up with a name that will stick.

"His name will be… Hiermon," said the young man.

The whole village gathered in the couples hut as Samos made an announcement to the tribe that two babies were born and they were identical. The villagers roared in applause as they looked at the two babies who were being held up by the young man and Samos. The couple was excited that their kids were going to save the world from corruption and turmoil… or at least they didn't get the prophecy.

3 years later…

Jak and Heirmon were at home playing tag and enjoying the morning sun outside as their parents were inside talking to Samos about their economic problems. The reality was that they loved having two kids but the young man could only support himself, his wife and one of his sons.

"This is a very troublesome predicament, but I understand where you two are coming from and I will certainly look into it… but there are troops who are coming home from the metal head war and there is a commander who would be interested in having a kid for himself," said Samos to the disapproving but submissive couple, "He is a bit unorthodox but I'm pretty sure he will be thrilled to have a son and pay you a lot of money in return."

The couple agreed to meet this so called commander and after a few days Samos came back with a young soldier who seemed to have handsome features and his face had tattoos on it.

"This is commander Praxis of the KGB unit and he is the one I was telling you about," said Samos.

"It's nice to meet the both of you," said the commander, "I understand that you have two sons and you want to give up one?"

After the couple told him of the story then they showed him the two boys who were very close but this would be the time where they will be separated. The commander had a tough choice looking at the two boys but after a few minutes he finally wanted Hiermon. Then he paid the couple a large sum of money, however the two boys were crying trying to stay together but Commander Praxis pried his new son off of young Jak and Jak watched as his brother was holding his new father's hand and they disappeared into the horizon never to be heard from again…

Present Day…

The hooded figure woke up from his day dream and he was very angry, and not to mention he was vengeful ready for battle and he had a plan. He took off his hood and his features were the same as Jak's only the difference was that this person had the mark of Baron Praxis on his face… his name was Hiermon. He stood on the rooftop in Spargus that was overlooking the view of the ocean and the rain was starting to pour down upon him. The moisture of the rain was gulping every single dry piece of land.

"Jak you will you know what it's like to lose everything especially since you killed my father, Baron Praxis," said a vengeful Hiermon.

Then without warning he jumped from rooftop to rooftop thinking about the flawless plan that will destroy Jak inside and out, he was now ready to stop helping Jak especially dating back to the platinum eco problem and Errol being ruthless…

In the next chapter, Jak is honored at a heroic ceremony in which they get awards for saving Haven City and Spargus from Errol and his total rule, but what happens when he receives a special gift from a mysterious person on the front of his doorstep? Find out next chapter!!!
