Apocalypse Game: Trial by Fire.
A/N: okay, so I'm going to admit that this fic isn't a good fic so far, and I hate to admit it but I think it stinks. However, after this chapter, I'm finally going to have that R-rated chapter, basically a good few pages with a lot of making out and whatnot that should satisfy you. My character as you guessed as of the end of the last chapter got knocked out again and is going to end up in the spirit zone, but this time the revelation of a life time will be given to him.
So as usual, I don't own anything.
Chapter Eight: Intermission 2: Meeting of Minds.
"Not again," I muttered, "It seems every time that I wake up from a large fight I end up in the Zone."
"You think you've got it tough?" asked a voice, "Good god John, shut up and act like a guardian."
I turned to see Banpei and Calvin strolling up and I saw Calvin frowning at me.
"You don't have reason to talk Cal," I said, "You're sitting in the Zone doing nothing while I'm out in the world saving the Dimensions from destruction."
Banpei then turned and smacked me across the face and started lecturing me like there was no tomorrow, "You bastard," he screamed, "I just died and yet you think that just because all of us who end up here are sitting on our bums."
I cringed, and I felt blood and then realized that he was serious, but he kept on lecturing, "And further of all, you of all people seem to think that because you are a guardian and an ancient you think you are unlike the rest of us?"
"Damn," said Calvin, "You shouldn't have told him that Banpei and now things that are unseen are revealed."
"He has reason to know," said a mystic voice, "He is the key to the future."
"Who are you?" I asked, "And why do you three seem familiar?"
"We are the Musi," said "We have been watching you for some time and we have realized that you are the Ancient."
I stared in amazement; these three beings were the Muses of Ancient times, the foretellers of death, and the holders of life. Now I know why they seemed familiar, I had seen them before, because I had once been with them.
"Circe, Gaea, and Nerva," I said, "What did you call me….the Ancient?"
"Yes," said Banpei, "The reason that the Bridge operated for you is because you as the Ancient constructed the First Bridge."
"I don't understand," I said, "How can I be an Ancient?"
"Have you ever heard of Chronis?" Asked Nerva who was a black skinned Amazon.
"The Ancient Guardian of Time?" I asked, "The guardian who was immortal and yet mortal?"
"Yes."
"Damn," I said, "And I am the re-incarnation of him?"
"Yes," said Circe, "and Calvin, you are an ancient as well."
"What?" Screamed Calvin, "How can I be a Guardian, how am I an ancient?"
"That is because you are an Elder," said Gaea, "You are Tyronis, First Guardian of the Sword of Rogin."
"Tyronis," I said, "the only mortal Elder who lived to be over 1,000 years old, and never left an heir to claim the power, just as Chronis."
"You two are brothers," said Banpei, "You were both born at the same time so as the prophecy could be completed and that the power being reborn would be able to stand up to the Ultimate Power."
"If you mean Megatron," I started to say, "He is……"
Circe looked at me for the first time with sadness that not even a mortal can understand, "No, Megatron is just a pawn, the Ultimate is the Game Master, and he is the reason for these problems."
"The Game Master, hold on a second, wasn't the Ancient in charge of human growth in the ancient times?" I asked, "How can he be evil?"
"The Ultimate Power is never understood," said Belldandy appearing, "The Game Master was a Lesser Elder God who wanted all the power, he was too ambitious and that was his undoing."
"He was imprisoned in the moon," said Skuld, "When Morgana released Celestine, he was as well released and he went to Limbo."
"Which means that he is the one who sent the evil out after me," I said surmising everything, "He wanted me and Calvin out of the way because he knew that if we remembered everything then the power of the Meion would never be his."
"Yes," said Circe, "Now the only question remains….will you and Calvin take your inheritance?"
"Yes," said Calvin, "I, Calvin do solemnly swear to uphold the power of the Ancient."
"Yes," I said, "I, Guardian do solemnly swear to uphold the power of the Ancient."
Suddenly a power surged from everywhere and nowhere, the power of the ancients and at the same time a voice spoke.
"Behold the Ancients, the Remnant of the Olden days, when mortals and gods worked together, when the Egyptians first brought the gods to Earth and helped bring prosperity, now with the onslaught of darkness by a rogue Ancient, Tyronis and Chronis…two the Elder Ancients are reborn!!!!!!!!!!
When it was done, Calvin and I looked at each other, we both felt like we were alive again, suddenly we were back in the real world and Calvin was there as well.
"Oh….My….God," someone screamed, "They've returned!!!!!!!!!!"
