Chapter 24-(Blood Ties)
A/N: Pretty quick eh? I updated this think at like 4 in the morning. I ain't kidding, i hardly sleep now a days. Enjoy!
"So....where is this Overseer of the Universe?" asked Dreynor.
"Only me and Reig now where the Overseer lives. There is a problem however, we don't even know who the Overseer is. All we know is that he or she is in charge of everything of the Universe." spoke Agorak.
"I am actually quite interested in seeing this Overseer. A wise old fellow perhaps." spoke Spyo.
"That may be true my brother, but remember...we might see some woman okay. So don't be hoping just yet." spoke Lethak.
"Hey Dad, can you and Reignor tell us just how you two know each other?" asked Galadrial.
"We could do just that, but sometimes questions are best answered later on if you catch my drift." spoke Reignor. The two Dragon Gods soon had lead everyone into a small building that seemed to be worn out.
"Uhh, why are we here?" asked Godith.
"This is actually the only way we can get to the Overseer." spoke Reignor.
"Are you doing this by memory or you just messing with us?" asked Cynder.
"If we were to be messing with you sis, we would've continued on walking." spoke Agorak.
"Do you remember how we use to do it?" asked Reignor.
"I think." replied Agorak. He looked around the area and noticed how most of the stuff was dusty and seems to be worn away from the countless years that had passed by.
"Okay here goes." spoke Agorak.
He looked at a radio and he touched it. It made a high-pitched ring for a second and then died out. Agorak then looked to the next object which was a book. He touched it and it made a note lower then the previous pitch. He then touched a chair and it made a note lower then the second one. Agorak pressed the book again and then he pressed a lamp. It made a note lower then the third object. Agorak then touched a set of metal pipes and they made a lower note as well. Agorak then pressed the lamp button and it made a ding.
"Sweet...it worked." Suddenly four rods came out from the corner and they focused on the center. The gang stood back and soon there was a portal to a world unlike anything they had seen.
"Well...here goes nothing." spoke Agorak as he jumped in. Reignor jumped in after his brother and everyone soon followed afterwards.
Inside the portal, the gang was traveling through a worm hole. They felt so weird and they saw nothing but globs of stars.
"What's happening?!" shouted Uther as his head was spinning.
"I don't know, but this shit is freaky!" yelled Demitri. They soon saw a light and they all landed with a thud on the ground. Agorak and Reignor were already standing and they examined the place. The rest of the group got back up without a scratch and they gasped in shock and awe.
"Dude....what is this place?" asked DK Mark.
"This my friend, is home of the Overseer." spoke Reignor. All they saw was clocks and a portal that overlooked a certain part of the universe. Just ahead of them was a large building that seemed to be built with a certain part of architecture. For example, a certain part of the building was built as if it was from Ancient Egypt. Another was Ancient China. Another was Russian and the list kept on going.
"Wow...this guy sure must be busy." spoke Leonidas.
"True my son, but watch what you say in front of this guy. The Overseer doesn't take lightly to people who blurt out stupid things...or so I hope." spoke Agorak.
The two Dragon Gods looked ahead an they began to move. The others soon followed as well, but they stayed close to one another since they weren't sure of this place. They soon reached the doors which seemed to have been created by Time itself.
"I am starting to have a second feeling about this guys." spoke Dreyanor.
"Then you shouldn't have come here with us in the first place Drey." spoke Lethak.
"Here goes..." sighed Reignor. He knocked on the door and it slowly creaked open. The gang covered their eyes because it suddenly got bright. When the light died out, they were in a room that had no door way. It had windows that were inaccessible.
"How they heck are we suppose to go through?" asked Ryuu.
They all soon heard a voice and it sounded to be a woman's.
"Welcome everyone. I welcome you all to my home." spoke the Overseer.
"You have called for us my Lady?" asked Agorak.
"Wait a second...I know that voice." spoke the Overseer.
"Of course my Lady, it is us Agorak and Reignor. The ones who you wanted to see. We hope that you don't mind if we brought...some company?" asked Agorak as he looked back at the group.
"No of course not my child. I am just glad that you are finally here along with your brother." spoke the Overseer.
"Talk about knowing a lot." whispered Leonidas to Galadrial.
"My Lady, is it possible for you to show yourself to us? You do know that every Overseer must be present and not some recording." spoke Reignor.
"How smart of you Reignor. Very well, I shall be with you all shortly." spoke the Overseer.
"That wasn't so bad. She seems really nice." spoke Cynder.
"She may be sis, but we can't truly say until we see her in person." spoke Godith.
"I have a feeling that she knows us more then we think she knows." spoke Hera.
"What makes you say that?" asked Galadrial.
"Since when does some Overseer say 'my child?' Ain't that a bit strange?" asked Hera.
"Don't worry honey. If u ask Godith or Cynder I bet you she says my child to almost any kid she meets." spoke Reignor.
"Do you really?" asked Hera.
"Yes we do." answered Godith. It wasn't long till a portal and out came a female human being. She had the most beautiful looks that you will ever see. Her hair was blond and her eyes were a lovely color of sapphire blue. She wore a gown that seemed to be as if she was dressed for a wedding. The gown however was very light and made from the finest silk in all of the Universe. The two Dragon Gods looked at her an so did the Overseer and they gasped in shock.
"Agorak....Reignor." spoke the Overseer.
"Mother?" asked the two Gods.
"MOTHER?!!!" hollered everyone in shock. The three of them stood still before they ran to each other and hugged.
"Sia deevdrui!" (My sons) shouted the Overseer.
"Dask!" (Mother) cried the two Gods. They hugged each other tightly and they shared tears of joy.
"Awww, ain't it beautiful?" asked Galadrial as she rubbed her eyes. Everyone seemed to be crying, seeing how even the two Oldest beings in the universe are able to see their very own mother.
"Oh mom, you have any idea how much we missed you?" asked Reignor as he looked at his mother.
"Do you two have any idea how much I have missed you both?! I am just glad to see my two little ones are still here!" cried The Overseer.
"Uh Mom...hate to break it to you, but we are like a foot and 4 inches taller then you." spoke Agorak.
"Does it really matter my son? In my eyes you will always be my little one." cried their mother. She cried hard and she kissed them both and held them tightly. Reignor and Agorak kissed their mother back as well and they shared a moment.
"It has been so long since I last saw you both." spoke the Overseer.
"We know. Sorry for not writing or calling you. You know how we are." spoke Reignor.
"Of course my child. I have been the Overseer of the universe ever since young Agorak left to make journey on his own as Dragon God of the North and West." spoke their mother.
"Excuse us madam for interrupting, but what is your name? We don't want to keep on calling you Overseer." spoke Cynder.
"Of course dear Cynder. My name is Jermaine." spoke Jermaine.
"That is such a lovely name." spoke Leonidas.
"I know that my grand-son. You look almost like your father you know?" spoke Jermaine.
"Hehehe, thanks grandma." replied Leonidas.
"I take that you all are family?" asked Jermaine.
"Yes mother they are. Allow us to introduce them to you." spoke Reignor. He went to his wife and stood next to her.
"This is my lovely wife Hera. We have been married for 5.3 billion years an we have 540 kids." spoke Reignor.
"It is nice to meet you Hera." smiled Jermaine.
"It is nice you too, mom." smiled Hera. Jermaine looked at Agorak as he stood next to his wife.
"Well mom, this is my wife Godith. We have been together for 5 billion years and we have 561 kids. Our two recent children are here with us. You have already met our very own Purple Son Leonidas, and this big purple dragoness, is our daughter Galadrial." spoke Agorak as he stood next to his two children. Jermaine caught sight of Pythios and Pythios whimpered and cooed as he extended his arms, reaching out for his grandmother. Jermaine only smiled as she took young Pythios and held him in her arms. "Hey there little one. I am your grandmother." smiled Jermaine. Pythios squealed happily as he snuggled himself comfortably in his grandmother's arms and soon slept.
"Is he really your son?" asked Jermaine, looking at Galadrial.
"No grandma. As a matter of fact I found him...or should I say Dad found him in a half-melted home. Dad asked me to take him in and I did. My lover Demitri is the purple dragon next to me." spoke Galadrial with a smile as she kissed her lover.
"Demitri eh? I have been watching you for quite sometime now my boy. You indeed do have a dark past, but I see how you try your best to not think about it. I can't say I can't blame you hon. But be careful if you know what I mean." smiled Jermaine.
"Why does everyone say that to me?" asked Demitri.
The group got a small laugh out of it and soon Jermaine was introduced to Spyro, Cynder, their son Uther. Then she met Lethak, Dreyanor, DK Mark and his son Ryuu.
"You are all lucky to be related to my sons. Not to mention that both Godith and Hera should be lucky that they are married to them and have a family with them. Say did you two ever speak about what you guys did when you were younger?" asked Jermaine.
"Like?" asked the Gods.
"Did you even speak about me, your father, or what you guys did?" asked Jermaine once more.
"Uhhhh.......no?" answered Agorak nervously.
"Good, you can tell them right here and now." spoke Jermaine as she snapped her fingers and chairs suddenly appeared. Everyone sat down except for Agorak and Reignor. The two looked at their mother and they gave her a childish look, symbolizing that they really don't want to tell.
"Come on now. They have a right to know everything, especially of you Agorak." spoke Jermaine.
"You go first Reig." spoke Agorak.
"What?! Uh-uh. You first. Strongest and youngest First." replied Reignor.
"No you. Oldest and wisest first." replied Agorak.
"How about both of you?" spoke Demitri. The two Gods looked at Demitri who had a small smile on his face.
"Remind us to not take you with us again." spoke Agorak.
"Okay....where to start off...any ideas?" asked Reignor.
"Start off with how you two came to be? Like how did your parents meet and who was your father." spoke Hera.
"Alight then, that seems pretty straight forward." spoke Agorak.
"It all began when the universe was first created. As you all know from all the records of the universe, that 15 billion years ago a tremendous explosion occurred and the universe was born. Reignor was the first one to be born. We all met our mother Jermaine, but you have not met our father Akriloth. He....well how can I say this...." thought Agorak for a while.
"You guys know Dante and Vergil right and how those two came to be right?" asked Agorak looking at his family.
"Yeah their mother was a human being while their father was a demon who turned on his own kind and he came to the human world, they got together and they had Dante and Vergil. Don't tell me that you guys are just like them?" asked DK Mark.
"Pretty much." spoke Reignor.
"Our dad was...well a true dragon demon if you can say. Just like Sparda, he turned on his own kind and came to the human world. However unlike Sparda, when he first arrived to the world, people panicked and they tried to kill him. However there was only one person who saw how innocent and pure our father was." spoke Reignor and he looked at his mother. She still had Pythios sleeping in her arms and she only smiled at her son.
"Can I ask you guys something?" asked Spyro.
"Sure go ahead." spoke Agorak.
"What kind of people lived 15 billion years ago?" asked Spyro once more.
"Ahh, very good one. Allow me to explain this one bro. The world that we lived in was kind of complex. For every year that passed by, it was a good...damn...I can't remember. For all I know is that when my 21 years passed, I was considered to be 10 billion." spoke Agorak.
"So that is why you looked so young and sexy back then." spoke Godith.
"Pretty much hon." smiled Agorak.
"Hey Dad? How come you are known as DL Mark? I thought you were born in a different world and then you suddenly went back in time with some new fond powers. Why are you suddenly Agorak? To be honest, I am totally lost in this." spoke Leonidas.
"I have to agree with our son on this one Agorak. Even I am wondering." spoke Godith.
"Ohh man, I was hoping to avoid this....but I can't hide this from you guys anymore. Godith...this is coming straight from the bottoms of my three hearts. DL Mark as you know was only....a host." spoke Agorak.
"A host?!" shouted Godith. "The only reason why we both are in existence is because....we both loved you." spoke Agorak.
"Whoa, whoa....I am seriously lost right now. What do you mean by 'we'? " asked Godith. Agorak only sighed and he closed his eyes. Suddenly DL Mark had appeared next to him as a Spirit.
"Okay....this is getting freaky." spoke Cynder.
"Two Dads?" asked Galadrial.
"Not exactly honey. Allow me to explain Agorak. Godith, remember how I told you of how I came to be with you and how I came to be?" asked DL Mark.
"Yes I do. You told me that you once read a story about me and you felt love and you wished that you were to be with me. Then one day, you got struck by lighting in a thunder storm and soon you traveled back in time with your new fond powers." spoke Godith. She was about to speak again when she soon figured out why.
"Wait a second...you didn't get struck by accident, were you?" asked Godith.
"No my love. As a matter of fact. Agorak came to me in a dream before I received my powers. He told me everything how I loved you and how He as well loved you. He explained to me that he needed someone who would be worthy enough to allow his spirit to live with a body that looked like him." spoke DL Mark.
"So...it's kinda like that 'Yu-Gi-Oh' show right Dad?" asked Leonidas.
"Yes my son. Like in Yu-Gi-Oh, Agorak was Yami and I was Yu-Gi-Motto. Except for card playing games and living in Japan, we had a different way. As I was saying, when Agorak came to me, telling me that I was worthy to be the host and that we could both love you, I agreed to help out. Don't blame him for living in my body, I was only 11 years old when I made that choice. Then that day arrived and I received my powers. It wasn't long before he contacted me again and told me that it was time for me to go. I couldn't tell anyone what or where I was going and I followed his orders."
"Then I arrived just a few centuries after the Big Bang. It was Hell for real. Temperature reaching to 10 million Kelvin. I did not know what to do. Then Agorak contacted me again saying that I had done well and he repaid me by keeping me safe from the harsh conditions of the Universe that I was in. He was able to use his powers to shield me from the heat and it pretty much felt like living in a bubble. He told me that he was only 18 and that in 4 years of his time, he would be ready to leave his world and go live out in the universe. He told me about how he loved you and I couldn't help but make out a deal with him. He keeps me alive till you arrived and he would be able to live in my body. 10 billion years passed and Agorak had contacted me again saying it was time."
"I woke up, seeing the planet Earth that I once lived on was born. Filled with life and no pollution. It was truly paradise. When I landed onto the ground of Earth, Agorak appeared to me in person this time. He told me that as of now he would have to live inside of me. In return I would get more power, all the knowledge that he had and Eternal Life. It was an offer I could not refuse. When we performed the ritual, I felt Agorak going into my mind, filling my mind with knowledge and power. I felt like a God. In return for all of this, I let Agorak experience what I felt as if he was living life as well. Of course we know what happened afterwards. I met you for the first time and our life began." spoke DL Mark, finishing his story.
"Damn man...the both of you went to the extremes for one love. I got to admit that you two worked out perfectly." spoke Spyro.
"We know. It was a good thing that before my father had left, I learned how to communicate with people from different time periods." spoke Agorak. He only looked down at his wife Godith who was sinking in all of this information.
"I understand this now. The two of you loved me, yet you didn't want to kill of someone just because he loved me as well. Therefore you arranged a deal. I can see how it was possible since you both look exactly the same. I am just glad that I am not married to only one man, but to two men who love me and actually care for one another through a Spiritual bond and live peacefully." spoke Godith a smile.
"Like that Pharaoh guy and Yu-Gi. They experienced live together with that Millennium Puzzle." spoke Demitri.
"I am just glad to see how I am married to a regular immortal individual, as well as to a Dragon God. I don't know what else I could ask for." smiled Godith. She got up and she kissed both Agorak and DL Mark.
"A couple of questions for the both of you. When I kiss Agorak, DL Mark feels it as well?" asked Godith.
"Yes but only when his Spirit does not show, like now for example. You kissed both of us. But if you only saw me, then you would be kissing both me and DL Mark." spoke Agorak.
"Ahh I see....wait! One more thing....what was up with Ung-Agor? DL Mark told me that Agor plus DL Mark would equal Agorak." spoke Godith.
"That is another good question my love. Agor was pretty much well....another part of me. True Mark and Agor together do make up Agorak. It pretty much was doing the same thing to DL Mark...except to his dragon side." spoke Agorak.
"Ohh so that is why. I just thought that Agor and I were just once you who somehow got separated into two people." spoke DL Mark.
"Ha! You wish my friend. It would be kind of weird honestly." spoke Agorak.
"Are there any more questions? Cuz I don't want to be suffering from too much out of body experience." spoke DL Mark.
"Just one more my love. Do you guys change back often whenever you feel like it?" asked Godith.
"Our minds pretty much work as one. We may be two different people from two different time period, but if you look at it, we are just like those guys in 'Yu-Gi-Oh' We ask if you want to change and we do. If not then not." spoke Agorak. "
What if I asked you to?" asked Godith once more.
Agorak then suddenly changed into DL Mark and the Spirit of Agorak was next to him.
"Dude! We didn't even ask!" shouted Agorak.
"She asked." smiled DL Mark. Agorak only sighed and he faded back into DL Mark's body.
"See? It's that easy." spoke DL Mark as he kissed his wife.
"I understand clearly now. So if I was to mate with Agorak, would they still have the same DNA?" asked Godith.
"We are the same!" stated Agorak and DL Mark at the same time.
"Okay...that is all I have to ask my loves." smiled Godith as she kissed her husband once more. DL Mark then changed back into Agorak and he smiled.
"Any more questions about me?" asked Agorak. "No, I think we are good." spoke Lethak.
"Thank God...I was starting to get tired. And Reignor....stop smooching with your wife man! I didn't just spent 10 minutes talking all of this while you and Hera were kissing!" shouted Agorak.
"Mind your business will ya bro?" asked Reignor.
"Get, a, room." spoke Jermaine. Reignor and Hera stopped and they looked at the others.
"Sorry...but as you know, love is like an engine. You got to keep changing the oil." spoke Reignor.
"Man wise or the other thing?" asked Agorak.
"You and your twisted mind." spoke Reignor.
"You made a bad comparing. It's suppose to be love is like a cold drink. Just add the heat and it will still be good." spoke Agorak.
"Must you correct everything?" asked Reignor.
"Yes." spoke Agorak.
"Can't you believe what kind of man your father is with others? He sure as hell knows how to make people laugh." spoke Demitri to his girlfriend.
"I know. I just don't know what I would've done without him." replied Galadrial with a smile.
"So how was life for you two when you were young kids?" asked Dreyanor.
"Life for us when we were young kids was not bad at all. I was only 4 years older then Agorak so yeah...I was pretty much the guy who picks on his younger brother." giggled Reignor.
"And I was the one who later on got back at you for all those things you made me do or what you did to me when we were kids." spoke Agorak.
"You never did." spoke Reignor.
"Really?" asked Agorak as he raised his hand and fired a beam that left Reignor covered in black.
"So we call it even?" asked Reignor.
"Hah! You wish! That was only one. I am getting you back at every single one. So expect more in the future." spoke Agorak with a sinister smile.
"Boys...now is not the time to fight and argue about who gets back at who. We all get back at each other eventually." spoke Jermaine.
"So...as I was saying, life for me and Agorak was not so bad. We both went to this school called DA. Draco's Academy. There we met many friends that we grew up with. Oh those were good days. We always had fun. Me and my pals along with Agorak and his pals, man it was fun. But that fun soon left us after our father Akriloth disappeared." spoke Reignor.
"What happened to your father?" asked Cynder.
"Akriloth as you all recall was our father. A true Demon Dragon and the only one who ever came to existence within this universe." spoke Reignor.
"Anyways, what happened was when Reignor was 14 and I was 10, there was an evil named Mephistopheles. According to the legends, he supposedly is Lucifer and Satan's Father." spoke Agorak.
"That's terrible! Your father went off to fight and he never came back?" asked Hera.
"Yeah...sad to say. People say that Mephistopheles took him back to Hell where he would spend forever being punished for betraying his own kind. Others say that he defeated Mephistopheles, but he suffered a price. He was locked away forever, away from any living thing or of society. He simple was banished from existence after defeating Mephistopheles. A few say that our father had won by sacrificing himself and locking Mephistopheles away from ever doing harm to us. But I believe that my father is somewhere out there. Alive and waiting for one day when someone would free him and bring him back." spoke Agorak.
"Wow...so much info to sink in. You guys are surely something." spoke Spyro.
"Yeah...but enough about this. Mom...you called us in for not just a family re-union, but for something else." spoke Agorak.
"That is true my son. Reignor could explain it to you." spoke Jermaine.
"Explain what?" asked Agorak. Reignor only sighed and he pointed to the top of his head. Just above his head he had a Halo.
"Dude...don't tell me that you are dead." spoke Agorak.
"Yeah...and so is Hera." spoke Reignor. He indeed was telling the truth. Hera had a Halon on top of her as well and Agorak had a strange feeling that it didn't meant good news.
"Now don't tell me that the Eastern and Southern part of the universe is blown up by some evil being. I have enough trouble as it already is on my side." spoke Agorak.
"Look brother, it's not that. The problem is this. Me and Hera had both sacrificed ourselves 20 years ago to defeat an evil known as Satan. He is the Dark God of the East and South. Just like on your side, Lucifer is the Dark God of the North and West." spoke Reignor.
"And you are telling me this now?!!" yelled Agorak.
"Sorry for not trying to tell you on time, but you know what our limits are." spoke Reignor.
"Please Agorak...we are asking you for help." spoke Hera as she came close to Agorak.
"Do you mind first telling me what the hell is really going on?" asked Agorak.
"20 years ago, Satan had returned to my home world with his son Perdition. They both destroyed our world but luckily we were able to stop them from destroying any more." spoke Reignor.
"By sacrificing yourselves." added on Agorak.
"Exactly. Now 20 years later and Perdition has returned and he plans on bringing back his father Satan. We weren't able to regenerate fast enough and Perdition has taken over most of East and South." spoke Hera.
"But what do you need me for?" asked Agorak.
"You my son have the most power out of anyone in existence. You are two times stronger then your father and you have a better chance of beating this guy. However there is one problem. He is coming to your world now son." spoke Jermaine.
Agorak turned around and looked at his mother.
"So Perdition is coming to my world? Why? Please give me the full story and don't make me ask more questions." said Agorak.
"Alright then. Perdition is only coming to your world for two purposes. One is to revive his father Satan and the other is to work with the new evil that exists on your world and bring back Lucifer." spoke Jermaine.
"New evil? Shit! Dracovia!" shouted Agorak and he quickly opened a portal that led back to home.
"We must be quick you guys. I think that whatever this new evil is, has already attacked our world." spoke Agorak.
"I had that feeling deep within me for a long time, but I never really worried about it till now. We better get moving." spoke DK Mark.
"Be careful my loved ones. If Perdition has arrived, then he will do anything to bring back both Satan and Lucifer. The real brothers of Destruction and Chaos. Now go! There is no time to waste!" shouted Jermaine. She quickly handed back Pythios to Galadrial and they all soon left Jermaine's home and the portal had closed up.
'I only hope that they are not too late.' thought Jermaine.
A/N: Oh no! Looks like our heroes will have to face more then just what the new evil is on Dracovia. It seems as if that this time ancient and new will unite! What will happen when our heroes return to their home world? Find out next time on R.O.D!!! (A couple of this stuff that I made actually belongs to godofmadness43. Couldn't have done it without ya pal.)
