THE CHRONICLES OF JASON DRUMMOND
Book one: Arrival
Chapter 7: Explanations... Mostly
"You- you brought me here?" Jason asked in a shocked voice. "that is correct, this world and many others will need you and the allies of the prophecy"Chaos said. "Prophecy? What prophecy?" Jason asked. "You can understand this... thing?" Selina asked, which did not go unnoticed by a certain Chao.
"The Bringer is not a thing!" Lugosi shouted in protest. "calm yourself my child, she does not know my importance as of yet"the water being said softly as the young Chao flew over to its parent and started nuzzling them.
"Back to what we were talking about, yes there is a prophecy, and you are at the center of it Jason." Tikal said while moving down the steps of the alter towards Jason. "I'm glad that you have finally come, I was worried that when I first met you, that you were-"
"Wait, what do you mean by when we first met? I've never seen you in person before." Jason said.
"Have you?" Tikal asked as she slowly turned into a familiar girl. "Hot sauce in the ice cream, nice payback method."
"Yo-you were that child! The one from the park?" Jason shouted from pure disbelief.
"Yes, I was looking for the Chosen One, the one with the correct heart for the job." said Tikal as she turned back into an echidna.
"Which leads me back to my question: What prophecy are you talking about?" Jason asked.
"I'd like to know too." said Knuckles, who had simply been listening to the four talk.
"Very well, sit down, for it is a long story, and please do not interrupt." Tikal said as she sat down, while the others did so as well, except for Chaos, who remained standing.
"Many centuries ago," Tikal began, "I was alive, and Chaos lived in harmony with the local tribe, using me to learn about us and our culture, while in return he taught me magic that was long since forgotten, magic that was meant to heal. One day however a hedgehog came, but this hedgehog was not from our world, he came from a world that watched over all others. He told us that in several centuries time a shadow, made from guilt, anger, and sadness would come into existence and attempt to destroy not only this world, but many others, but he told us there was a way to stop him. In one of the True Prime Worlds, where all of reality originates from, there would be someone who could stop the shadow, but that someone would not exist yet, and the hedgehog couldn't tell us where he was, he did tell us how we could find him though."
"He told us that in order to find the Chosen One, we'd need something that could track the qualities required for the savior. So with help from the mysterious being, Chaos and I crafted another Chaos Emerald, but this emerald was far more powerful than the others, for when the emerald would come into contact with someone possessing the right qualities it would slowly change him, adapting him to the abilities he'd require, changing his physiology just fast enough so that when we finally found him, he would hopefully be ready. Once we finished our creation, we sent it into the space between spaces, where it would be continuously searching for the one with the right heart. However before I could go looking for the emerald Chaos had become enraged at the attacks on its children, which meant I had to watch over him."
"Once Chaos became peaceful again," Tikal continued, " I was able to search for the gem across worlds, and using my knowledge of magic, I would disguise myself as a human then walk amongst you so as to let the balance of reality remain as it was, but after nearly a decade of searching, I was about to loose hope when I found him, holding the gem with him at all times, so I followed him home, and once he fell asleep, I sent a message of sorts as to what you would be going through, but I was interrupted by his sister waking him just as he was about to experience the most important part of what he would go through. So, after quickly getting Chaos, we returned to him, only to find he had gotten into trouble, but he fought off the attackers without any help. After witnessing this event, me and Chaos went to contact the one who had warned us in the first place, so he could open a portal to that world and bring him to ours. However he needed something that would set him out from the other humans of that world, so as he went home, Chaos turned its self into a storm cloud, and as the Chosen One walked home, Chaos branded him using magic that he did not feel. Once that was accomplished the hedgehog sent the portal to his yard, where he had meet up with one of the allies of the prophecy, sending them into this world, while providing him and the ally with everything they would need for the trip."
Jason listened to all of this in stunned silence, and once Tikal was done, he finally found the nerve to ask her. "So... you believe that I'm the one of the prophecy?"
"yes, you have all the qualities necessary for the task"Chaos conformed while stroking Lugosi.
"And this gem,"Jason said while pulling out the handle to Renewed Hope, "this was the gem you made?"
"yes, and it has located the perfect soul for the task"Chaos responded.
"What... exactly is my task anyways?" Jason asked while trying to keep himself from having a mental breakdown.
"Jason, even in this form you are not powerful enough to stop the shadow, so you need additional power. Power only Chaos can provide if he is with you at all times." Tikal said.
"Well what do you want me to do? Carry him around in my stomach?" Jason replied, before realizing something. "That's exactly what you want me to do isn't it?"
"that is correct, for you are my avatar"Chaos conformed.
"What's an avatar?" Knuckles asked, who had been calmly listening to this whole conversation.
"I'm a freaking meat suit for a puddle?" Jason shouted out in shock.
"i would prefer it if you do not call me a puddle, Chosen One, but yes, you are a 'meat suit'"Chaos said.
"Why me? Of all the humans from my world my am I so special? What qualities do I posses that make me a candidate?" Jason asked.
"Simple," started Tikal, "he would need to be kind, someone who would protect people with a fatherly instinct, someone who had a strong sense of right and wrong, they needed to have suffered a great loss, but without it affecting their other traits too badly, but most importantly, they needed to have knowledge of all the worlds that the shadow would try to destroy."
Jason didn't know how to respond to this, so he went to the next question on his mind. "Who... are the beings that are supposed to be my allies?"
"The majority of them are the heroes of each world," Tikal began, "but you will have allies who accompany you to each world, and the allies are: 'the child of a god who's different from his siblings; the ghost who wears armor for eternity; the two angels of unnatural birth to fight the Devil's return; and the four musicians: the priestess, the sword wielding magician, the thief, and the smasher.'"
"That's... an interesting list, so how do I find these 'allies'?" Jason asked.
"You have already found two of them, the child of a god and the thief." Tikal said while pointing to Selina and Lugosi.
"I'm special?"the little Chao asked his parent.
"yes my child, you too have a role to play in the events ahead"Chaos said while stroking its child.
"I'm... supposed to help save the universe?" Selina asked the terracotta colored echidna.
"Yes, you have abilities that can aid you in the fight, so once Jason says yes to Chaos, then we'll-" Tikal replied before being interrupted.
"Wait, hold on. What do you mean by 'once I say yes'?" Jason asked.
"i cannot become one with you until you give me permission to enter your body"Chaos explained.
"Huh, just like the angels in Supernatural, and like Dean Winchester, I say no, you can't enter my body." Jason said stubbornly, which shocked everyone in the area.
"What? B-but why?" Tikal asked.
"Why? Because religion and gods have done nothing good for me, but they have instead used my life as a (bleep) toilet to dump their (bleep) into! And now, after giving me nothing but (bleep) and problems, they come to me asking for help? WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? (bleep) YOU!" Jason angrily ranted before taking off into the forest, where he found the pond from his dream.
"So it does exist." Jason said as we sat down by the riverbed for what felt like half an hour, with the whole scene playing over and over again.
"There you are! Jason what the hell were you thinking?" Selina called out once she and Lugosi found him, still in the same spot from earlier.
"I've said everything I wanted to say, end of story." Jason said without looking at them.
"Why did you have to be so mean to the Bringer?"Lugosi asked while flying over to the hedgehog.
"Because he forced me to be brought me here, and then he demanded I be his freaking prom suit! So you know what? I'm done with deities controlling my life like it's a (bleep) Sims game, so I say screw you Chaos, and screw you God!" Jason said before getting up.
"Okay, you know what? I am bleep sick of all your bull(bleep) Jason! I know there's something you're hiding from me, so what is it?" Selina said while grabbing his arm.
"It's-" Jason started to say before being interrupted.
"If you say 'it's personal' I will kick your mother(bleep) (bleep) Jason! So tell me, right now, why do you hate-" Selina started to say before she heard six words come from Jason's mouth that instantly silenced her.
"BECAUSE GOD MADE ME A MURDERER!"
X * X * X
NOW HOW MANY OF YOU WERE EXPECTING THAT? (no one raises their hand) Exactly.
Now I know the chapter is short, but I have a flash back in mind for the next chapter, which will explain more things.
Now I just want to make something clear, this series focuses on Jason, but Sonic and the others will be playing important roles as well.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Sonic & co. or Supernatural even though I wished I did. All I own are my O.C.s
