Chapter 2: The Prophecy
Mace went to finally pick up his animals from Jon. He also wanted to hear what the prophecy was about. Mace got his animals and let them out of their containers while they listened to Jon. Mace saw Jon was very nervous. "Mace listen to this recording my late grandfather made," Jon said. Mace nodded and Jon played it.
Hello to whoever is listening. This is Doctor James Roman. I am today recording my recent discoveries into the Prophecy of Armageddon. We all know Armageddon is the end of the world and all life. Well recent discoveries have shown that in the time before dinosaurs when the earth was forming it had been 2,000 years since the last Armageddon. Legends tell of the one who talks to nature. It is said that if this one shall begin his animal journey the prophecy is set in place. From my records of standard tests it seems that the Prophecy is arising again in young Mason Masterson. I care deeply for the boy as though he were my own. However in the prophecy it shows the mentor will show the chosen one as I call him the path. He will care for and nurture this young child like their own. However before the mentor can help the chosen one he shall die. In which case leaving the chosen one without his guidance. I fear that this shall become true. In just 1 week's time I shall send poor Masterson on his journey. The Prophecy foretells that forces of the purest evil shall arise during the chosen ones training. If the force can corrupt or beat the chosen one the world will implode and time shall start all over yet again. Everything will revert to how it was before the planets started forming and shall wait until it reforms yet again. However if the chosen one can win he will become the Great Nature. Mythology tells of a mother nature. However in all true prospective they had tapped into the Prophecy without knowing it. The chosen one will gain ultimate powers to do anything he wishes. However no chosen one has ever been able to win the battle. I am positive Mason is the chosen one. Now I hope he can overcome evil in its purest form. I hope that mankind can prevail this time around. The evidence of this Prophecy is almost rock solid according to findings found deep in the core of the earth. For we have found a picture of the chosen one for every 30 million years. They all look exactly like young Masterson. Mace if you are listening I am probably dead of unnatural causes that are classified as old age. In which case all evidence also shows you will have a parakeet as your first animal after missing a rottwieller. If this scenario is true then it is 100% that the prophecy is true. Upon finding this is true the chosen one is found to cry of mud and his eyes will turn bright sinister blue.
That was the end of the recording and the hardest burden Mace has ever felt. Jon handed him a stack of photos showing the core and also a bunch of documents found in the core also. And they all verified everything Mr. Roman said. Jon was watching Mace and then saw mud falling on the floor.
Both boys jumped in alarm Jon saw Mace's eyes and held a mirror fearfully in front of Mace. Mace saw his eyes had turned from black to sinister blue like Mr. Roman had said. "It is true then," both boys said in horror. "Mace can you call your parents please. I have something to ask of them," said Jon.
Mace called his parents and they arrived an hour later. They listened to the recording and saw a security tape of Mace and his show at realization. They both wept and then Jon spoke up " Mr. And Mrs. Masterson you both know every procedure for being the informant. Will you take up duties so I can go with Mace to protect him," said Jon hopefully.
Mace had a look of shock and his parents actually had a look of gratitude. "Of course we will Jon. We want Mace to have some protection even when his animals aren't around," said Mace's father. Jon went for his test and ended up catching a black bear. He named it blacks and got his dirt bike.
"Look after yourselves and good luck," Ron and Teri said as the boys rode off into the sunset. Mace turned and waved to his weeping parents. Mace was now facing the heaviest burden in his life. On the other hand it felt like this was meant to be. Jon and Mace rode quietly into the next town. This town was a good 10 miles from Milo where their journey had begun. It is known as LaGrange.
They went and stayed with a friend of the boys. His name was Brian Charleston. Once an animal trainer like the boys that had been injured while training. He was 5'7" with a muscular build. However he was now in a wheelchair from when he encountered a pack of timber wolves.
The animals had snapped a piece of Brian's spine a good 3 years back. Mace and Jon had saved him by chasing the pack away. They had been fishing nearby and heard the screams. They ran towards the sound and saw 6 animals either dead or unconscious. They also saw a good amount of timber wolves looking badly injured and a bleeding man on the ground.
The boys threw their knives at the wolves and killed about 4 of them. The other animals all retreated. Mace recalled all animals that were still alive and helped Jon carry Brian to the car. They took him to St. Joseph's hospital in Bangor. They were told that Brian was very lucky however permanently paralyzed from the middle of his back down.
Brian got out of the hospital the next day and met his saviors. After that they had become close friends. Brian was thinking about how they had met while watching the 2 boys practice in the art of martial arts on the front lawn. "Mace, Jon lunch is ready," Brian said to them.
They all went inside and ate. The boys informed Brian that they were on the journey and Brian simply nodded. They however did not tell him about the prophecy. "Mace and Jon I have a few things that may be able to help you," Brian said as he wheeled into the closet.
He took out a wad of cash, 2 pistols, a box of ammunition, and 2 balls containing animals. "Here I have $20,000 I had left from my journey. I have 2 9mm and a box of ammunition. These balls contain 2 of 3 animals that survived the onslaught 3 years ago," said Brian.
The boys took the items and opened the balls. A wolf and an eagle appeared before them. "You 2 can have these animals and sort the ownership out as you like. However my policy on giving away animals is you must defeat them in a battle. Me versus you. My first animal will be my eagle. Which ever of you wishes to have the eagle head outside and await me," said Brian.
Jon and Mace discussed which animal they wanted. Jon walked outside to win the eagle. "Go Blacks," said Jon. The huge black bear appeared before the eagle. "Eagle flying beak peck," said Brian calmly. The eagle flew up in the air and as fast as he could drove its beak into the bear's head.
The bear toppled over backwards and crashed to the ground. The eagle landed on the black bear and prepared for its victory caw. "Blacks paw pound," said Jon noticing his animal was awake and barely harmed. A big paw rose and tapped the eagle on the head. The eagle fell to the ground unconscious.
Laughing Brian recalled the eagle and handed it over to Jon. "Your bear is very powerful. My eagle's flying beak attack knocks nearly anything unconscious or at least injures them. He must be very skilled and very loyal," said Brian. Jon thanked Brian and recalled Blacks. He walked away and let Mace fight.
"Go Timber," said Brian. Mace called out his skunk Peppy. "Peppy stink attack," said Mace quickly. "Timber hold your breath then use crunch," said Brian in response. The skunk used extreme odor that knocked the wolf out instantly. "Whew that does stink," said Brian. They recalled their animals and Brian handed over the wolf.
They stayed at Brian's for the night and met his pet husky. "This is Ilea. It is Eskimo for my friend. She is my first and most powerful animal. She is also my best friend in the whole world," said Brian. Mace cooked up a scrumptious steak dinner. It had steak, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, and biscuits.
They ate and laughed at stories and jokes the whole time. Finally they went to bed after saying good night to Brian. They all slept quietly and peaceful. Brian noticed they were sleeping and stood from his wheel chair. Little did the boys know the real Brian had died in the hospital. The man that claimed to be their friend was Brian's twin brother named Ryan.
He made a phone call to his superiors. "Renegade agent 6875 a.k.a. Ryan Charleston. Connect me to the boss of team 7986 a.k.a. Patrick and George," said Ryan. "Patrick speaking. How may I help you sir," said George. "Mace and Jon are here for the night. I have given them some supplies. However you asked our entire group to be on the lookout. I won't hold them here so hurry up," said Ryan.
The boys nodded and hung up. An hour later they arrived. "Where are they," asked Patrick. Ryan pointed upstairs and left the house. Patrick and George crept slowly up the stirs towards the boys. They silently opened the door and found an empty room. They searched the room and no one was in the room.
"So what you are saying is Brian is just Ryan the twin," said Mace as they watched George and Patrick tear apart the rooms. "Yup. Ryan is the one that also sent the wolves after Brian that day. He is with the Renegades," said Jon. "Let's give them what they came for then," said Mace.
George and Patrick came to the final bedroom. George opened the door and saw Mace and Jon asleep on the beds. "Easy as taking candy from a baby," said Patrick. They took out a pair of pistols and silently crept forward. As Patrick neared the bed Mace was on he thought he heard something strange.
A dull whisper had come from both of the beds and both the Eagle and the new Wolf were out. "Shoot them," ordered George. Both boys raised their guns to the animals and felt strong hands grab each of them. They turned around and saw Jon and Mace with similar guns drawn on the boys.
"What have we here," said Jon. "We will fight animal to animal or hand to hand. If you choose to use a weapon you will die before you can pull the trigger," said Mace coldly. "Hand-to-hand is always best," said Patrick as he threw his gun out the window. George, Jon, and Mace threw theirs out as well.
Mace and Jon recalled the animals and prepared to fight. Mace was against Patrick and George was against Jon. George went and put Jon's head through the wall with a sidekick that knocked him out. He then turned to fight Mace with Patrick. Mace backed up a little and waited.
Patrick attacked first with a huge volley of punches and kicks. Mace blocked as fast as he could. George entered with a similar volley and caught Mace in the chest with a inside crescent kick. This allowed an opening for Patrick he used a 3 elbow combo to Mace's face.
Mace got off the ground painfully and attacked in his own combo. He hit George in the middle of his chest with a powerful front kick. He caught Patrick in the chest with an elbow and followed with a double haymaker. One hit the jaw and one hit the lower gut. Mace then used a front flip and caught Patrick on the bottom of his jaw with 2 powerful kicks.
As Patrick fell he remembered about George and saw Jon was up again and kicking his ass. Jon used a combo he had learned earlier. It was a foot sweep followed by a powerful foot sweep to his chest and another to his head. Jon stayed on the ground in a low stance watching George. George started to get up and Jon used an axe kick to the bottom of his jaw and sent him next to Patrick.
Mace and Jon saw they were unconscious and congratulated each other in a job well done. They tied up the boys and Mace dragged them outside. Jon got all their things and joined Mace. They called the cops and told them they had 2 unconscious members of the Renegades. They hung up and turned to retrieve the guns.
"Judging by the way you attacked you knew about me," said Ryan as he held a gun at each of the boys. Jon and Mace raised their hands into the air watching Ryan. "Well then I guess I should tell you what happened," said Ryan lowering the guns and handing the boys theirs. "I'll be inside. Once you have given these two over to the police I will tell you the truth," said Ryan as he walked inside.
The boys shrugged and waited for the cops. They arrived and the boys explained what happened. As it turned out Patrick and George had a warrant with a $20,000 reward if someone caught them alive. The police gave them the money and took the boys away. Jon and Mace went inside and saw Ryan at the window.
"Thank you for not turning me over. Now if you will follow me you will see what really happened to my brother," said Ryan. The boys followed Ryan into a remote part of the house they didn't know about. "Me and my brother were once top agents of the Renegades. When we tried to quit they asked us to go on one last mission.
"We were supposed to track and capture a pack of wolves. However they had sent us to be killed. All our animals had been replaced except for Ilea and my Eagle. I managed to catch one wolf and now you have him. They had replaced our animals with the weakest once they had in the Renegades.
"Our ammo was only blanks. Well my brother and I got hurt badly and I ran to get help. When I came back I saw you were chasing away the wolves and helping my brother. My brother died of his wounds a week after he left the hospital. I had been confined to a wheel chair at times. I can't stand or walk for a long time before I need to sit down again and recuperate.
"I received an objective a week ago from the Renegades ordering me to turn you both over. If I didn't then they would kill me and tell the truth about me. I did tell them you were here but gave you protection for when they arrived. I left earlier and told the Renegades that their agents had arrived and they told me they never needed me again.
"I was very thankful and came back to help you. When I saw you on the lawn in the dark I thought you were the agents. That is why I reacted the way I did. I can understand if you never wanted to meet me again. I thank you for all the hospitality you have shown me in these past years," said Ryan painfully.
"You lied to us and turned us over to the agents. You held us at gunpoint with a loaded gun," said mace, "but you also saved our life. Ryan you have shown to be loyal to the ones you care about. We still want to be your friends old chap." "Don't do that again though," said Jon laughing.
Ryan sat in his wheelchair and hugged the boys. "You are the best friends one could ask for," said Ryan. They went back to sleep and left their cell numbers in the morning when they left. They went to the next town named Alton and just passed it by.
They arrived in Orono and stopped at the Black Bear Inn. They had a few bacardi silvers and found some girls and danced for a while.
The woman who Mace was dancing with said her name was Mystique. She was 5' 3" with blond hair and ice blue eyes. Her skin was as smooth as velvet and her presence alone was soothing. She wore a butterfly shirt that was all black and tight black leather pants. She filled the shirt out very nice and it was obvious she wasn't wearing a bra.
When she had walked in with her twin Monique every head turned in the place. Also a lot of guys had asked them for a variety of things. Mace and Jon had only asked them if they wanted a drink and to dance. The other guys had asked everything but that. They had kindly accepted and soon they were getting along great.
Mace looked over and noticed that Jon and Monique were not in sight anymore. He began to worry until he saw a note on their table.
Dear Mace and Mystique,
Monique and me will be out late tonight. Please don't wait up for we may not be back tonight. Have fun and see you soon.
Jon
Mace laughed and showed Mystique the note. He watched her eyes and noticed a new look within them yet couldn't place it. She grabbed his hand and slowly pulled him up the stairs.
They quietly listened at each door of each of their rooms. Mace heard some sounds within his room and motioned to Mystique. They listened quietly and heard Monique say Jon's name and him answer in a voice Mace had never heard him use before. They decided that the two should be left alone.
"Come on Mace I have something we can do to kill the time," said Mystique quietly in his ear. She then dragged him to the other room and locked the door.
Mace went to finally pick up his animals from Jon. He also wanted to hear what the prophecy was about. Mace got his animals and let them out of their containers while they listened to Jon. Mace saw Jon was very nervous. "Mace listen to this recording my late grandfather made," Jon said. Mace nodded and Jon played it.
