Earths Defender

many centuries ago, before the great empire of Rome, there existed a society of powerful beings. these beings guided and protected the earth from those that sought to bring death and destruction. this was the kingdom of Atlantis, and the Atlanta's both known for there technological power as well as there physical strength were envied by many people, and among those who sought there power was a man named Kain.

"So beautiful, so this is the source of the Atlanta's power" Kain a large man with brown hair the came down to his shoulders and green eyes, a ruthless man stood in the center of the alter, having been able to sneak past all the guards as well as slaughter the priests in the temple. Now he was looking at a strange blue crystal it radiated a light that illuminated the temple which was full of paintings of great battles and of gods and demons but the most interesting feature of the temple was the 4 kings. the 4 kings stood 30 ft high , and in a circular fashion around the gem as if to guard it from all who enter, great men who once were the first kings of Atlantis and they say the statues are filled with there souls.

"At last the power is mine all will bow before me in fear" as he started to step forward he hesitated, a chill went through his veins and he started to back off, as he looked into the eyes of the statues around the crystal.

"Well what are you waiting for", a tall man dressed in a black cloak approached the alter. "Take it my lord and you can rule all the lands of earth with an iron fist.".

"something isn't right I can feel it in my bones the statues are watching." he said weary of the gazes of the statues fixed on the crystal.

"WHAT YOU THE GREAT TYRANT KAIN AFRAID OF SOME STONE CUT IN THE SHAPE OF ATLANTIANS." the cloaked man said with obvious furry. "I thought I had found a man who was brave enough to seize his future not some sniveling little girl afraid of ghosts and spirits."

"I AM NOT AFRAID OLD MAN." his rage building "ILL PROVE TO YOU THAT I AM THE GREATEST" he started back toward the crystal determination on his face.

"Excellent" the cloaked man said under his breath his hand went into his cloak where he started to finger a strange looking talisman Take it and become my weapon. he thought.

Meanwhile Kain was standing in front of the crystal, doubt about crept into his mind. there has to be some catch, all this power has to come at some price. Oh well for the power I will receive there is no price that is to high. he reaches for and grabs the. and crystal seams to flow right into Kain.

Suddenly he could feel his insides tearing and reorganizing he could feel himself become stronger and started to laugh. "MWHAAHAHHA the power is mine I can feel it coursing through my veins." indeed he was becoming more powerful the ground started to quake and electric sparks encased him. Kain started to scream, and Suddenly guards burst into the temple "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON." one of them said but before they could say another word Kain killed them with an energy blast "This is so invigorating, OHHH." kain let out a moan of pain as he was still being rearranged inside .

"he's close I can feel it soon he will be born again, the great warrior will be born again." the Cloaked man himself started to laugh maniacally.

Kains hair started to turn as black as night and so did his eyes all of his eye's became black no white shone in them anymore. An energy aura apeared around him looking like a large shadow.

It was done he had become the most powerful man in the world and he felt good "I CANT BELIEVE THE POWER I HAVE THERE IS NOONE WHO CAN STOP ME NOW." he started to laugh maniacally.

"yes my friend there is no one who can stop ME now." the cloaked man pulled out a strange amulet half as white as snow and half as black as coal in the center rested a crystal similar to the one that kain had absorbed. "Now bow before your new king." the amulet he held started to glow and kain fell to his knees unable to resist. "WHAT THE HELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING OLD MAN." Kain screamed his disapproval of the situation.

"Why my friend I am simply going to test out my new weapon." the cloaked man started to laugh "Which is you my foolish Kain."

"I AM NO ONE'S TOOL OLD MAN ESPECIALY YOUR'S." Kain couldn't even struggle, as much as he wanted to his body didn't even want to budge from his current position. "WHAT IS GOING ON OLD MAN TELL ME AND ILL KILL YOU QUICK INSTEAD OF REAL SLOW LIKE IM PLANNING ON NOW."

"My friend you could not more kill me than you can move right now, and I have had enough of you mouth so don't say another word." he said almost jokingly.

Kain found himself unable to speak or move all he could do was listen. "Kain my friend did you think power didn't have a price, look at this amulet." kain raised his head not really wanting to "This amulet was created long ago for the power the crystal contains is to great for anyone to wield unchecked, so this amulet allows someone without the power to control those who receive it. It was meant to be a fail safe but I guess they didn't consider someone such as myself would ever posses it. But anyways, now my friend time to secure my kingdom, now you can speech but no more yelling'." Kain wanted to scream his bloody lungs out at the cloaked figure but he couldn't every word, though dirty, came out in a calm and normal voice level. "Oh and no more swear words." Kain instantly shut up. "Good now then." the cloaked man felt a shiver through his spine.

"YYYOOUUU AARREEEE NNNOOTT WWWORRRTHHYYY." a deep voice bellowed throughout the halls "NNOOOWWW DDIIEEE." suddenly the temple started to crack with energy the statues radiated a power like the witch was never seen before. Suddenly a great explosion which went on for hundreds of miles in all direction completely destroyed the civilization of Atlantis and the cloaked man and kain were killed but a part of kains body became a shimmering crystal that sank beneath the ruins not to bee seen for many eons.

TODAY

"Professor I think I found something." Jim a student under Dr. Gero said as he was looking at a monitor of his leviathan, a submersible that Dr Gero had created to explore the bottom of the sea.

"What is it Jim?" A young Gero said

"Don't know, it looks like some sort of crystal with a bunch of ruins around it." Gero looked at the screen, and shock suddenly crept on him. He saw the remains of what looked like 4 statues surrounding a strange looking crystal, Jim had no idea what it was but gyro did.

"Excellent, bring it to the surface at once." Gero said slightly joyous

"Yes professor." Jim started to push a few buttons and the leviathan responded by extending some robotic arms and scooping up the crystal.

I found it at long last the ultimate power in the world is mine Gero thought as he continued to watch the screen

"Professor, I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is this?" as Jim held the crystal after the leviathan returned .

What is going on the crystal was supposed to fuse with the first person it touch's maybe its not the crystal. as he thought this the crystal suddenly let out a small glow that encased Jim and he screamed in pain. suddenly he fell over dead. "Well now, maybe it is the crystal ill have to examine it." he found a container and put the crystal in it careful not to touch it "Its a pity, Jim had such potential but then again so does this crystal."

After weeks of study he made some discoveries of the crystal. It seemed it already had an essence of a man inside it. "Looks like someone beat me to it but looks like he didn't fare to well in the end. I wonder what happened anyways, nothing to be worried about I can still harness its power." More weeks passed and suddenly Gero started to receive calls from one Cindy Locksfelt Jims wife.

"hello is Jim there?" Gero having no really good explination at the moment said that Jim was working on a very important project and needed to concentrate on it so that he would be able to finish soon, and said the project was important to Gero, and he would have a long vacation after he finished

that is until I can think of a way to explain him not being alive he thought

"Please I must speak with him its very important and it cant wait much longer" she started to plead to Gero

"oh all right but make it quick ill go get him" Gero went and got out a voice changer he made a while back and set it to Jim' voice "Hello, Cindy what's the matter, is everything ok?".

"Jim!! you cant imagine how good it is to hear your voice, I have wonderful news I am pregnant Jim, your going to be a father." Cindy said with obvious joy in her voice.

"What!!! that is great news.." Gero said playing along,

"about a month from now I am going to go get an ultra sound as soon as I can and ill mail the pictures to you if your not home by then" Gero just had a very good idea.

"Hey Cindy, why don't you let Gero do it, he is a pretty good medical doctor and he would do it for free, and I should be able to see you when he's done.".

"OH, Jim that would be so wonderful. Do you really think he would do if for free?".

"Of course I am sure, me and the doctor have become really good friends. Besides he has a load of money and equipment I am sure it would be no problem." Gero said somewhat happily with the new idea he had just come up with.

"Alright, if you insist, ill stop by on Friday to see you, and if Gero will do it for free then all the better" She said happily.

"Ok, look I got to go I need to get back to work stop by, and well talk after Gero does the ultra sound ok?" .

"Alright ill see you soon Jim, Love you".

"Love you to Cindy" Gero was almost laughing.

"Bye" then she hung up. Gero was in a state of euphoria

"Oh my little Cindy soon you'll be bearing the most powerful baby in the UNIVERSE HAHAHAHAH. Well I better get prepared for the lovely mother to be." Gero walked off into the lab.

Friday came soon enough and Cindy stepped out of her car. she came onto the laboratory where her husband and Dr Gero worked it was a really large complex which has been responsible for many advancements in technological research especially in the area of robotics and genetics. Jim is lucky to have been selected by Gero for his assistant he is probably working on some grand invention with Gero she thought as she headed to the lab. I just hope I don't interrupt there important research with my visit, ill try and keep it brief, but I haven't seen Jim in so long. she reaches the door and rings the bell. Gero heads to the door having completed his preparations for his new Experiment. Gero looks through the monitor and sees Cindy waiting outside. He smiles a little

"Open the door and ill be down in a moment." Gero speaks into a speaker and starts to head down to the main lobby.

After only a few minutes of waiting Cindy is greeted by Dr Gero. "Hello Dr Gero, do you know where my husband is?" she asks "He's busy at the moment, he will be down in about an hour, which should give us time to do the ultrasound, and then you can show him the pictures and talk to him as long as you want.".

"Alright, and thank you so much Dr Gero you are truly a friend of the family." she giggles a little.

"Yes a friend of the family well now lets get cracking I am sure Jim would love to see you again, and I have to go relieve him when were done so he can come down to talk to you. This way please." Gero starts down a hallway which leads into what looks like a large biological research station. "I hope you don't mind Cindy, I don't have an official hospital bed or anything like that but the equipment here has been prepared so all we need to do is have you strapped in and get the pictures."

"Thank you Dr Gero where do I sit?" Cindy asked

"Over there," Gero pointed to a flat bed with equipment next to it. "just lay down and ill be back in a moment. I need to fetch something ill be right back," Gero said as he headed towards the door.

"Alright ill be waiting." Cindy began to lye down on the bed.

Gero walks out and the door closes behind him he walks over to a consol on the wall and starts pressing some bottoms. "Goodnight Cindy." he said laughing a little. Inside the small lab the vents started to release a faint greenish gas that filled the room Cindy laying on the bed started to yawn and her eyes slowly close drifting into a deep sleep.

About 10 minutes later the room is clear of gas and the door opens and Gero steps forward. "Now, my precious Cindy just relax I wont harm you or your precious child, no no far from it I have big plans for the little ones, and maybe if you cooperate ill compensate you for your husband." Gero headed over to the computer sitting on the desk, "Now to alter your memory a little, your dear Jim died in a car crash and I am how you would put it a friend of the family." he pulls out a small visor and slips it over her eyes. "while your memory is being altered. ill go get what will make me the most powerful man in the world." he walks over to safe and in it is a large crystals and a vial." I wasn't able to get much made before now Cindy. This should be enough to start with, though once your child grows up I think ill improve it/" he takes the vial with a strange liquid that glows faintly in the dim room. He gets a syringe and transfers the liquid into the syringe "Now lets inject this into the fetus." Gero says as he hovers over Cindy.

Later

"Thank you Dr Gero ever since Jim died in that car crash you've been a real help." Cindy said with a lot less emotion in her voice than earlier that morning.

"Your welcome Cindy, if you have anything else you need just tell me. I feel almost like the grandfather as Jim was almost like a son to me." Gero still smiling because it was all going according to plan.

A smile appeared on Cindy's face "Your certainly are Dr Gero, I must be going I hope to see you soon." with that said Cindy turned around and walked back to the car.

Now that her child has been infused with the crystal I only have to wait and a fighting force beyond anything I could ever build will be under my control Gero had a little kick in his step as he headed back to the lab.I should make some more of the serum to keep infusing the fetus as it progresses to make it even stronger he heads to the safe. he opens the safe to only find 2 fragments of the crystal each about 1 inch in diameter. "IVE BEEN ROBED!!!" Gero, in a panic runs over to the nearest consol, and looks through security records and surveillance cameras. after hours of searching through every camera's footage he found absolutely nothing, the crystal seems to have just vanished.

Meanwhile while Gero was searching around in his lab for the crystal. The head of the Orange Temple Monks was out for his morning walk through the forest. "My the weather sure is nice out today. I am glad I decided to take my walk, even with my bad back." the old Monk continued along the forest path when all of a sudden he noticed a strange blue glow over in the bushes. "what could that be" curiosity getting the better of him he walked over and peered into the bush. To his surprise he found a child, a child with no nose. And the strange glow had disappeared. "My what do we have here. looks like a baby." the old Monk stands up and looks around but cannot hear nor see any signs of parents. "Was this child abandon, hmm maybe that light was an omen, that I take this child and train him in the ways of martial arts." the Monk reached down to pick up the child. The child did not struggle nor did he cry as if he was at peace in the old monks arms. "I sense something in you child a great potential, someday you will be come the greatest fighter on the earth, with training of course, now for a name." the Monk sat and pondered for almost on hour before he stood up and held the baby in the air. "I proclaim thee, Krillin." the old Monk Shouted out and the very forest seemed to tremble at the coming of the new baby who may very well be the bane of the world.
