Introduction: Forces of the Universe

Hi there, you lucky reader! I don't own digimon-though this wont have anything to do with digimon until the second chapter-which will be long. Read and enjoy-and review. Even flaming is accepted! I just want to know if I suck!


The Black Tower had always been a symbol of evil-but more specifically, a symbol of terror. All could enter the tower, yes, and all could and would return from it. That was what lured many of the young, brash ones there. The thought that they wouldn't die, and that since nothing is worse than death, they would be fine. But they were wrong, and it tortured many of them throughout all of their miserable lives to see how wrong they all were.
There are reasons why beings fear death. They don't know what is on the other side. And, taking a look at things from a logical point of view, many beings discerned the fact that there is simply nothing on the other side. Non-existence. Unable to feel, unable to think, unable to do anything, and unable to even be frustrated about it. No colors, nothing, impossible to describe because it is impossible for the human mind to comprehend it. The Ultimate Terror.
There is something after death though. But that is not why I am here. I am here to tell you a story. About the Black Tower, and what it did to those who went in.
Have you ever thought about the Universe in general? It doesn't go on forever. What is at the end, then? Some say there is Anti-matter at the end. Some say a state of non-existence. What would happen if we passed into this place? Would it bring existence to where once was void? I don't know the answer to that question either, but I do know one thing-the universe is infinite in another way. Bear with me now, because I am going to try to bring understanding to a situation that is very hard to explain, and is one of the more annoying puzzle pieces of life.
We know that there are other dimensions, planes of existence, or universes, or etc. etc. I don't care what you call them, they are there. I'm not being superstitious, either. Scientific advances, particularly in the field of quantum physics, have stated this. Note that I say stated, not proved. But they are there. I'm not a quantum scientist-indeed, if one said that I understood anything about quantum physics, they would have to say that I understood the very basic parts of it. But one part of being a quantum physicist is being a good abstract thinker. I am a very good abstract thinker-or used to be. Being an abstract thinker is like a power, you see, you take things off mundane things like school, mass, gravity, space-all these are mundane things, believe or not. Even life and death are mundane things. After you let all these things slide from your mind, you look at the universe, and begin to make a scratch, and then a dent, on the safe that contains the secret of what our universe is made up of, and why we were chosen over simple non-existence. You know that age-old question that hippies and anti-religious groups throw at you-"Why are we here?"-that has some depth to it, if you know where to look. Why were we, matter and the universe and everything, chosen over simple non-existence?
But I am getting off track. Back to the multiple universes and what they do to each other. Now, these multiple universes are contained within a universe, which is contained within a universe, and so on and so forth. Let me put it this way. Have you ever seen a tree chopped down? When you look at the stump, it has rings inside it. Think of the Universes this way- they are the rings, continually getting bigger and bigger and smaller and smaller for infinity. But there is a difference between the rings of the universe and the rings on a tree. Ours are all connected, by the fourth dimension, by time. Now this theory is so very radically confusing that I wont bother to describe it. If you ever want to know, simply let go of every mundane thing. I don't mean by giving up your possessions and all that crazy stuff, I mean just stop thinking about it. I believe that the ability to think abstractly lies within everyone. Once you clear your mind of Mundane things and really consider the Universe in general, you'll find that even the most complex things are quite simple.
Now, the multiple universe means that there is an infinite amount of beings and souls within the little place I like to call existence. And we, of all beings, have a sense of good and evil. But what is good and what is evil? Good can be described as the will to help other beings in need. Evil can be described as ignoring these pleas, or being the cause of these pleas, for ones own benefit and pleasure. But how now does good benefit the being that commits an act of good? It receives no benefits and probably only forwards it's own destruction, however so slightly. Indeed, taken from a logical point of view it is much more beneficial to be "evil". However, a sense of righteousness prevails, and makes us want to be good.
The being in the Dark tower had no sense of righteousness. He planned to manipulate time itself. He planned to compress all times and states of being into one. He began his plan over five thousand years ago. He was stopped, luckily. This is the story of how he was defeated-and how he managed to escape true death.
