Rated PG-13 for language and violence
Part 2
It wasn't long before things had past when FireFox made his way down the long shaft of the gate way into the temple itself. It was a mission to find the answer to destroy Onslaught. FireFox was only 25 years old in looks, but it had been 100 years since the death of his master and friend Shadow Raziel.
"Man this sucks, why do I always get myself into these things." FireFox shrugged off the bad feelings he had and charged into the fight, lightsaber ready and took out one after another. The Death Grunts where strong and would get up just as fast as one knocked them down.
"Just stay down you sick freaks!" he screamed.
A force push hit him from behind and sent him flying into the temple wall. The planet known as Korriban, once the sacred world for the Sith, now over run by Onslaught, who was looking for dark side artifacts and forgotten items of the past. FireFox wasn't going to give this fight up. He had tracked down the book of Diablo and was going to recover it, he knew it held the secrets of Onslaught and his power.
"Quick young one this way. Come now!" a voice form a far said.
"Who are you?"
"No time for that come this way."
FireFox ran towards him and saw nothing but a man in a black old robe, his face covered with a mask of sort. He turned and saw hundreds of Death Grunts followed by the powerful Death Ragin, one of the Onslaught's Generals leading the attack on the planet of Korriban. He had no choice and followed the man into a side door of the wall where a long hall way open up to them.
"Quick this way, I will use Qe'kay so they can not follow us."
"What and the hell?" FireFox uttered as he followed the man down the long hall into a room. The wall closed behind him.
FireFox turned when the doorway closed behind him. "Hey what the hell is going on here?" His lightsaber still in his hand and ready to strike if he needed to.
"You are safe here my son. We have much to talk about and after all your quest has led you to this place."
"What do you mean?"
"I will tell you about Onslaught and the one you seek. Neckar Unrivaled."
Just as he spoke the name, the center pillar in the room started to turn downwards. It was covered in markings, likely from the old days when the Sith once ruled there. Finally after a few moments the pillar stopped and it opened up to reveal the book of Diablo.
"No way?" FireFox uttered out as he saw a dream come true. He had found the one thing that would give him a chance. "Old man how did you know this was here? Are you the keeper of the book?"
"I was, a long time ago. But now I am here to show you the past, the future and the world that was and the world that can be again."
The man opened the book, as he did so a strange dark energy floated out of it. "This book has the answers, I can only read a little of it. What I can tell you is that the dark dragon of darkness, the destroyer of worlds, the end of all life will be overpowered by the love of his son and his family. The chosen few can overcome the darkness if they believe in their bloodline, the bloodline of Zine."
"What is Zine?"
The man looked up and smiled. "Zine is the power all living force users have. Its the connection to the Triforce and time seal itself. The link between the bloodstones, the book and the Dawns of Time. The spirits of the six will overcome the spirit of one if they can unlock the six power seals of legend. The dragon, the fox, the hawk, the wolf, the panther, and the lion."
He paused and looked at the boy. "Do you understand any of this?" He asked him softly.
FireFox turned and thought about it. "No sorry I have no clue what your talking about. All I know is I got some information that I could find the book of Diablo here, the book would have information on how to destroy the Onslaught and free the universe from darkness."
"Oh the destroyer, is Onslaught."
"Wait you mean I have to find six other items or whatever to kill him?"
"No they are not items, but people. Holders of the spirits of Oblivion."
"And just what the hell is Oblivion?"
"Oblivion was a god who lived a long time ago, in a galaxy far away from here. His son killed him and caused a great war which resulted in his son becoming Onslaught."
"What are you trying to tell me that Onslaught is some sort of god? What the hell? How can I fight a god? I mean that is crazy. Gods, demons and angels. I mean what next? Your going to tell me I'm the chosen one or something?'
"Yes you are, the one, the only one who can take this information back to a time where it can be useful."
"Wait a moment. What do you mean, to a time it can be more useful?"
"Just what I said. Now come, I have much more to tell you."
The man led him down another opening to another room, this room held a large pillar like the last but the markings where different and it became harder to breathe. FireFox for some reason felt very safe in this room. It felt like Naboo, he hadn't seen Naboo in so long, he almost forgotten what it had looked like. The feelings of warmth of his mother, a feeling he would never forget. The feeling of someone loving you, a feeling he would not know until he met a woman some ten years later. He placed his lightsaber on his belt and walked around looking at the large pillar.
"This place is crazy, please what is your name? My name is Will."
"You can call me Tsetsino. Will, that is a nice name."
"Thank you, so okay let me see if I'm following you on all of this. We have Mr. Oblivion. A god or whatever, his son was evil and ended up killing him, he then had a son who became Onslaught. This happen a long time ago and yet in the last, um well its been so long I can't remember."
"Yes you have that about right, more or less. You see Onslaught's power is not limited to one man and neither is the power to destroy it. You see, the Triforce is about balance, the order of three. All things must have three, a dark, a light and a neural side."
"What in the hell is a Triforce?"
"Here let me tell you the story of the Triforce. A long time ago, before time itself there was six gods that ruled. They became bored and decided it was time to create a universe and see what would happen. Three of them wanted a universe of balance and peace, the other wanted darkness and hate. So they created two, one for each. In the end they both where destroyed. So they started over."
"And these gods, who are they now?" FireFox asked him with a very confused look on his face.
"The Shadow and Death Masters, they where well, special in a way. Being that they failed, they tried again and again. Soon they decided over building two, they should simply build one. And then make it half and half. This worked for a time until it again destroyed itself. They agreed they needed a balance. So they created a another side which was not good or evil but the result was a power which you may call the force. The masters used this power and created a three sided seal, they called it the Triforce, wisdom, power and balance. It was the perfect way to keep things together and it has worked up until this day."
FireFox stood there and listen to what he had to say. Finally opening his mouth. "Okay so you have totally lost me on all of this. However I think I get it. But what I don't understand, why is it no longer working? I mean, lets just say you are telling the truth here. Why as the Triforce or whatever failing?"
"Because it has become one sided. In about one hundred years from now the universe will explode. Its likely the Shadow and Death Masters will try something else. However you can prevent this. You can make sure that things say balance."
"Now how do I do that."
"You must make sure the savior lives."
He walked up to him. "Who is this person? I can't promise you anything but if there is someone who can destroy Onslaught I will do whatever it takes to protect him."
"You know him already, you have heard stories of him I'm sure. His name is Neckar Unrivaled."
"Oh please, that guy died by some stupid fool named Sinc or whatever. Sinc was then killed by Onslaught in the early part of the war. Well that's what I heard anyways."
"That is because Unrivaled didn't have the master seal yet."
"The master seal? You have got to be joking. What is this business with these seals? I mean really? Seal this, seal that. Doesn't anyone fight anymore?"
"My son, the greatest wars of our time have never been fought with fist, they have been won with the mind and spirit."
The man walked over to the north wall and pushed in a small nod in the wall which caused a panel to open up and in side of it was a scroll. "Here I want you to take this scroll with you. Once you leave here I want you to open it. It will lead you to the next task you need."
FireFox took the scroll and put in in a pouch on his belt and then looked at him. "So are we done here? Because if we are I'll be taking the book with me."
"No you can not have this book. The book must stay here."
"You are nuts, Onslaughts men are here and they will find it."
"The book is no use to them now. I have read the last part of the book, no more can be read. You now have the information, you must seek out a man name Geta. He will lead you to your next mission. May the force be with you."
Before he could ask him anymore he faded away along with the book. FireFox hit the wall in anger. He had the book right there and he lost it. He had no choice but to leave now. He was tired, his body hurt and he wasn't about to try and fight a General of Onslaught one on one.
"Damn it what do I do now?"
He reached down and remember the scroll, he had no choice but to trust in the man known simply as Tsetsino. Before he made his way out of the temple, he paused when he saw a large marking on the wall, the marking looking like some sort of beast, it had nine tails and look big and mean. It had markings under it, written in old sith text. He could read some of it, it said flaming fox spirit of the demon gods. "Fox demons, what's next, flying men in space suits." He laughed as he ran off and out of the temple. Little did the young man know what was to come in the next ten years of his life.
