The Rise of Darkage
Chapter 1 The Undiscovered Victim
DARK SYTH PROPHECY
A powerful soul will join the immortal Shade of Darkness in his attempt to rid the world of love and caring and the one's who defend the earth. He trains him to perfect his powers of the force which is the ultimate object in which all evil magic had originated. After many foiled attempts by the dark shade to rid the world of these creatures of love and caring, his new apprentice far exceeds his own powers and unleashes his servant against these creatures to do the mission that he could never accomplish. However, unlike most souls that get completely absorbed into the force once they choose the path of evil, the chosen one is not completely drained of his former self for the force God who wishes to embody him must wait before he can take his rightful place as ruler of all evil! In order for this evil God to leave the spiritual realm, it takes sometime to take form before it can enter into the physical world and it will not settle for anybody less than the chosen one for which it has purposed since the beginning of time! But if this chosen soul remains with the force, he will eventually lose control of his own body and disappear as it he never existed with the force God inheriting his body, powers, and soul. But all of the force God's power will also come into full fruition soon after and the world will fall into chaos forever!
Its the year of 2007 in Carelot the carebears were going about their usual caring missions. But one day in the month of May near the beginning of summer, the carebears were redecorating Carelot for the summer season and Wish Bear was doing her usual lookout searching for signs for trouble on earth.
"Where are you going Wishbear?" Tenderheart asked as he watched Wishbear climb into a cloudcar.
"I'm going to investigate something, would you like to come along?" She asked.
"Sure, I could use the outing." Tenderheart said as he nodded his head and hopped into the cloudcar with Wishbear.
The cloudcar headed out east to a small town in Arizona and touched down on an old run down property where it seems an old trailor home used to be With the ground covered in red cinders, and short green pine trees, and Juniper shrubs. The cloud car landed on the red cinders next to some of the taller juniper trees.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Wish called out as she stepped out from the cloudcar with her partner.
"It looks abandoned. I wonder who used to live here?" Tenderheart bear said to Wishbear as he followed her, looking around the property.
"Look over there. That's what I saw from the lookout up in Carelot." Wishbear said, pointing to two stone epitaphs with a small white cross set in between them as a type of memorial.
The epitaphs were beautifully decorated with an arrangement of flower lei's and were engraved with blood red lettering. Tenderhear bear and Wishbear read what was written on the stones; "Here lies my mother that meant the world to me... and here lies my step dad who was the closest thing to a father I ever had... until that all ended one day when I came home to find..." The rest of the epitaph had parts broken off and missing, but the two bears pieced what they could together "... Home burned... Ground... Parents burned alive... I vowed... to.. The murderers who... and avenge my... will not rest.. kill them."
"Oh dear," Wishbear said with deep concern, "We better find this person."
"I agree," Said Tenderheart, "But where do we even start to look?"
"We can look around the property" Wishbear suggested, "Maybe will find some clues."
Besides the memorial, the only other building that stood on the one acre property was a small metal shed in a dumpster type trash bin. Wish and Tenderheart climbed up the steel inset ladder on the dumpster bin and crawled inside. As they sifted through the debris, they found some various tattered dragon ball Z figurines along with some other mauled stuffed animals including a stuffed carebear of Wishbear. The stuffed toy was very dusty as Tenderheart dusted it off, but still intact.
"Wish look at this," Said Tenderheart as he finished dusting it off with his paws and held it out in front of Wish bear. "Looks like you had a fan Wish Bear."
"That's nice," Said WishBear as she took the stuffed toy from Tenderheart. "I wonder who it was?" She said wonder instead of Wish because she was psychically linked to a star named Twinkers that made all of her wishes come true. Unfortunately, her wishing went out of hand and almost doomed all of Carelot.
As they both resumed with the search, they uncovered a large metal suitcase.
"I wonder what's in here?" Said Wishbear as she picked it up with both paws.
"Maybe will find some more stuffed animals of you again." Said Tenderheart teasing Wishbear with a smile. This caused Wish to blush slightly at her friends comments.
"I was never that popular was I?" Replied Wishbear with clear disappointment.
"No because I was the popular one." Said Tenderheart as he cocked his head to one side with his eyes closed as he pointed to himself.
"But obviously not today aye," Replied Wishbear teasing him back as she was now the one smirking. Tenderheart looked a bit steamed after that comment. "Hey, what's this?" Said Wishbear, as a beat up old wallet fell out of the suitcase as she shook it. As she placed the metal suitcase down, she picked up the old shabby wallet and opened it to find an old picture I.D. inside. It looked to be a drivers permit of a light skinned male teen.
"What does it say?" Inquired Tenderheart glancing over from a compromised angle. Wishbear polished it up with her right paw before she looked at the name on the I.D. and paused.
"It saids, Joaquin Benividas," She finally said after a slight pause.
"Wishbear, do you think he's the one who left the engraved vendetta on the epitaph?" Tenderheart bear Inquired while scratching his head.
"Who else could it have been," Replied Wish, "We better report this back to Carelot and find out." So they both ran back into there cloud car and flew back to Carelot.
As they headed back, they discussed the possibilities of who it could be till they just arrived back in Carelot. They had noticed nobody was around until Tenderheart after searching around for a bit and saw all of the carebear family gathering into the hall of the hearts. They also followed them into the great hall of hearts.
