Prologue
A long time ago, so long that it would be impossible to count the years, the Sixth Dimension was one of the most powerful in existence. All who new of it were in awe of its fierce army, its wealth & prosperity, &, most of all, its powerful leader. He was known only as Zoar, & his past was a mystery. Some called him a madman, others a genius. The only known source of his power was a small amulet, triangular in shape & set with mysterious stones. As his influence & power grew, Zoar became more suspicious & reclusive, preferring to let his second in command, a dark & powerful man called Lord Fear, enforce his laws & run the dimension. It continued this way for many years, until Zoar was incapable of trusting even his best friend, Lord Fear. Desperate to protect his source of power & himself, Zoar chose, in secrecy, three strong & handsome young men. He tested & tried them mercilessly for close to a full year, until he was sure of their loyalty. He then had them trained, each in a different field of intelligence, & all in the art of battle. When he was sure of their abilities, Zoar gave them just a small part of his amulet's power, the ability to harness & use lightning. These young men became the first Lightning Knights. Their sole mission was to protect Zoar & his amulet, with no one ever knowing who they were. Not even Lord Fear was aware of their existence. As each Lightning Knight grew older, he trained his first-born son to take his place. As time passed, the third generation of Lightning Knights, of the family names Virus, Lightning, & Electron, assumed their roles in protecting the ageless Zoar. It was during this time that the plans of Lord Fear came to light. He had visited the darkest corners of the Sixth dimension & gathered around him all forms of evil imaginable.
As his troops attacked, Lord Fear sat with Zoar, trying to lull him into a false sense of security, and then kill him. The Lightning Knights were locked in a mighty battle with Lord Fear's monsters, but came out victorious, & arrived just in time to see Lord Fear plunge a dagger into Zoar's chest as he slept, his breath heavy with wine. Lord Fear, still unaware of the Knights' existence, was caught off guard & slain. The Lightning Knights, as commanded by Zoar should this fate befall him, took the amulet & protected it, as well as the entire Sixth dimension, from evil. None of them were aware that Lord Fear had been married, or that his young bride had given birth to a son. This son took his father's name, & vowed to find & destroy those who had killed his father. Calling forth the remaining few evils that had survived the battle, he set off on a life-consuming journey to avenge his father.
