Chapter 3
Shattered Peace
"Whoa."
Jaco and Jowy looked around but there was nothing but what they thought was
ground.
"Welcome." The man in robes said. "My name is Alexander, but that is not
important."
???
"Let me explain. In the beginning there was one. This 'One' had no
companions. So it decided to create something to keep it company. So it
created our creator."
"Hold on, your saying the creator came second?" Jaco said
"Yes. So, the two were happy until. our creator made something. The 'One'
was outraged. It thought it was it's universe and our creator had no right
placing its creations in it. So, as our creator began creating planets full
of life, the first began destroying all life with his creations."
"No way... we were forced on this 'One?' That is no reason to commit mass
genocide." Jaco said
"The people didn't know why they were being attacked. They didn't know how
to fight but they quickly learned. People from all different planets began
creating or using powerful weapons and relics that the creator left. The
runes you two possess and the other true runes were your planets defense."
"I always wondered why our runes were made." Jowy said in his usual curious
tone.
"Then. came a great battle between the mightiest heroes of light and the
most powerful monsters of death. Meanwhile, our creator made three
goddesses to take care of her creations. So, with great pride our creator
sacrificed itself to seal away the 'One.' The many other battles died down
but the damage was done. Some people became fascinated with the powers of
darkness, while others continued to worship our creator."
".How do you know all this?" Jaco asked. "You're not one of those ancient
bad guys are you?"
"Heavens no, I was the one who led the charge in the final battle."
Alexander answered. "As I mentioned before there are those who are
fascinated by the dark power that was used."
"Hmm.they desire the power that's rivals a god's." Jowy thought out loud.
"Can you say that isn't true for all who live?" Alexander answered. "But,
there are those who simply desire to end everything and release the 'Dark
One'. Once, I was all that was needed to protect the seal.but the dark
forces I've been encountering are much more powerful than the ones I'm used
to battling. It would seem these dark forces have been preparing to break
the seal for some time."
"How long have the stronger dark forces been attacking you?" Jaco asked.
"A little under 2 years," answered Alexander. "About the time an evil
spread through your world."
"You mean Luca.don't you?" Jowy said in a very serious tone.
"Yes.Luca Blight was just as his name suggested," Alexander replied in an
equally serious tone. "He was a blight on your land. He killed thousands
and destroyed so much. The amount of hate could never be justified."
"How is Luca connected to the dark powers?" Jaco asked.
"I believe in a theory that these dark forces work for something called a
'spirit beast'. A spirit beast reacts to all forms of energy and emotion.
Their particular spirit beast seems the react to hate, death, and
destruction."
"Sounds cheerful." Jaco said, trying to come to grips with his situation.
"Yes, well as Luca began his dark rampage people began to hate him. Between
the hate of so many people and his mass slaughter of so many innocents, the
spirit beast must have gained a great amount of power. What bother's me is
that should not have been enough to give him enough power to defeat me."
"Which means there is similar events happening elsewhere." Jowy said as if
answering an unasked question.
"Exactly. You two are the first of 5 that I will contact. So, you will have
help." Alexander stated in a clear tone.
"You want us to stop those dark forces don't you?" Jaco skeptically said.
"Yes."
"I was afraid of that," Jowy answered.
"I would not ask you if I didn't believe you were capable of doing it. You
will not be alone the others I am recruiting are just as skilled as you but
ultimately it is still you choice." Alexander said as if he believed they
were the only ones who could make a difference.
"Why us? Why not an army?" Jaco asked.
"Because of who you are, what you are capable of doing. Your spirit and
undying courage has shined bright enough for you to challenge fate and win.
You two are heroes, masters of destiny and champions of your world."
Alexander simply answered.
"I will fight." Jaco answered with the same fire in his eyes as when he was
asked to lead the Dragon Army.
"So will I." Jowy said in his calm and calculating tone.
"Excellent! But this fight will be a long and very dangerous one. Are you
sure that you want to do this?" Alexander said giving them one last chance
to back out.
"What kind of heroes would we be if we backed out now?" Jaco said with a
smile.
"I expected you to say something like that," Alexander said returning the
smile. "I will send you two to a safe place to stay. I will send the other
3 heroes to meet you."
"How are we going to explain this to Nanami?" asked Jowy.
"You won't have to. I can make it seem like everyone forgot about you until
you return. Nanami will believe she was traveling alone this whole time."
With that Alexander generated another portal and motioned with his hand for
Jaco and Jowy to go through.
The two heroes exchanged glances and prepared themselves to jump through
it.
"When you make it to the other side, try and find someone named 'Washu'.
She will explain the rest.hopefully." Alexander said.
The two jumped through with only one thought on their minds.
.hopefully?
