Part 1: The Kaiser
Most say that the eyes of a Kaiser-blood can be enough to put a spell with a glare. However, some say that the eyes of the Kaiser means death, death upon several…millions. There's a 2000 year old legend about a rare blooded angel who turned to the dark side, slaughtering millions. He was always the one that was good, but his life was consumed by sorrow, fury, pain, fear…the four internal ingredients to one more, called "end." This angel's name was Kaiser, and he fell in love with a human named Syrelle. He was hated by only one mere accident he caused, and the anger inside manipulated him, causing him to kill. In the end, Kaiser realized his wrongdoings, and after killing the main enemy that he sided with, he fought his lover, who had let go of his old self, and focused on who he was now. Kaiser had already snapped back to his old self, but the influence he had on the people was regretting. Knowing that he could never turn back the hands of time, Kaiser stood ready to see what Syrelle's attack was going to be. She raised a blade and charged her true love, but as she speared him, Kaiser dropped his blade, letting him die. His last words were, "The end is here. It has ended the fear, the sorrow, the fury…thank you, Syrelle, for ending this pain I've held so long." Kaiser's strong, unyielding soul became an angel race, a very rare angel race named after him. Up from the heavens, he chose very few responsible people to keep the burden of his strength and power. Now, Kaiser wasn't recognized as an angel race anymore, it is an immortal race, ones that are allowed to see heaven without death. History just might repeat itself once again, but this prodigal burden can be too much to bear, but the one who could bear it contains the heart of the legendary Kaiser, the most powerful warrior to ever exist. Out of the few, only one rises above all others, and he who does so will surpass Kaiser's strength, and will become the Eternal Guardian.

The Prologue:
He stood there, shaking and hyperventilating. That heavy rush of adrenaline pumped through his veins so quickly, he could feel it. Just breathe. His bloody hands held his cold blade. The cold wind blew into his face and the moist air seized his body in a fierce chill. The clouds had let the rain fall on top of them on the grassy battlefield. All of the dark clouds stretched endlessly, so far that you couldn't see the sun anywhere. The battlefield was the Everain Savanna. Taking a look into the distance, Tatsu stepped forward to see the five million man army of Tiburonians. They just happened to strike a year after that summer Tatsu had with Rikku. Now, Tatsu had to decide fate for the lands of Spira. He felt Rikku grab his arm, not wanting him to go.

"Tatsu…" she cried, looking at the approaching Tiburonians. They were cold looking, having helmets that had facemasks that glowed an eerie yellow. The whole suit itself was scary. It was bulky like the Arbitor from Halo and there were some small tubes that coiled around their neck area. These tubes fed their bodies oxygen, nutrients, and some medical things to heal it. The Tiburonian army was dominant, but Tatsu had to stop them now, so that they wouldn't hurt anyone else. It was like fighting Lexetor again. The army marched, and fleets of airships flew slowly towards Besaid, and Tatsu had to do something quick, which is to fight alone. The odds were greatly against him, and he was outnumbered. Five million to one was a huge outnumber, but Tatsu knew that he could defeat this army. He already had his course of fighting, but he healed quick to fight once more. Tatsu was injured as well. However, his green eyes glowed with a crave for more fighting.

Tatsu looked into Rikku's eyes as if this were their last moment. "Sorry. I have to do this. If I don't, we'll all die." he said, walking forward towards the army below the hill.

Rikku pulled his arm. "No, I love you too much." she said, giving him a kiss.

"It's better to have loved and lost, then to have never loved at all, Rikku." Tatsu said, looking up into the rain and letting go of her arm. "I won't die. I mean that, too. No matter what, I won't die now. Not yet. Trust me…because I love you." he said, kissing her back.

He ran off, leaving Rikku breaking into tears. Behind her, Yuna shouted for her to run away from the battle scene. Yuna sprinted to Rikku, who was in shock, and pulled her arm, taking her away from the battle. Tatsu ran directly face-to-face with the Tiburonians. His blade was in his hand, and he leaped up into the air, and swung his blade as he landed into the wave of soldiers.

Gasping for air, Tatsu woke up in his bed. His mind was cleared of his past memory and he sighed. The Tiburonian army was wiped out by him. He killed every last one of them, even when it was five million to one. How long has it been? Two years? He was separated from his friends and tried to find them, but had no clue where he was at. Eventually, he found a place to live. Tatsu shut his eyes gently, trying to remember what had happened after the war.

The rain still dripped fiercely, and Tatsu wiped out nearly every single Tiburonian soldier, even if they came one after another. There were only the ones in the last ship. The ship lowered to release more men to fight Tatsu. At that point, Tatsu jumped up as the ramp lowered. He landed right into the loading deck of the ship, crashing into several soldiers. After finishing all of them, he wounded the pilot badly as he drove through the open. The pilot died slowly and Tatsu was left badly wounded. He collapsed onto the floor of the ship, leaving the ship going and him bleeding, running out of fuel and crashed. Tatsu didn't feel it, however, as he was knocked out unconscious. The ship drifted off into the distance and smashed into the ground with a bang. Tatsu was still out, bleeding severely and was on the brink of dying. However, he was rescued. The girl who rescued him had jet black hair and it fell straight down to her shoulders. After Tatsu's long recovery in the ICU, he was up and ready to head back to Besaid, but he had no clue whatsoever where it was, along with the people around him in the city of Rhinoa. Tatsu was out of the hospital, no place to go, no place to live. These moments reminded him about his lonely life when he left his home at age 16, consumed by darkness once again. He went around and found the woman who saved his life. She looked around Rikku's age which was 18 or 19 at the time. Tatsu had let himself grown out of his teen hood after he fell in love with Rikku three years ago. He did have the power to live forever at one age, which his human friends had obtained as well, but he let himself be a little more mature and live there. She approached him with her hands behind her back and tried to look under his hood at his face, covered by darkness. Turning away, Tatsu sighed. The girl stood up straight and began to talk.

"I'm Tifa Lockheart." she held out a hand, smiling a bit. "And you are?"

Tatsu stood there and turned back to her. "I'm…Tatsumaru Kazama. Call me Tatsu." he said, shaking her hand.

The grip of his gloved hand made Tifa feel as if he were still in a coma. His grip was loose and unstable. She let go of his hand and smiled a bit.

"Thanks for saving me." he managed to spit out at her. She smiled and started to swivel her body from side to side. Tifa had never seen anyone so isolated from happiness.

"Do you have any place to go?" she asked openly to this stranger she had just met. Tatsu's eyes opened with surprise. Why would she offer him to live at her place?

"No." he simply answered, looking out into the rain. "I'm, afraid I don't."

Tifa turned away. "Oh, that's too bad. There's some extra space at my bar down the street. Would you like to live there for awhile?" she asked with a crooked smile.

"Why do you want me there?" Tatsu asked, seeing her lonely expression. "I'm not a nice guy."

Tifa smiled. "Sure you are!" she replied, seeing Tatsu sigh. "I need someone to help me to run my bar, or at least to help protect it."

Tatsu looked out into the rain again. The rain reminded him a lot about his darker years, which had caught up with him again. Rain was like his pain, and every drop that fell on him drenched him in angst, yet anger and a lot of other mixed feelings. Tifa stared into the darkness that his hood gave over his face. She couldn't see a thing. Wondering what to do, Tatsu knew that this would be a good start for now.

Getting out of his memory and out of bed, Tatsu went to his kitchen to make some coffee. Looking around and searching, he gave up and decided to go over to Tifa, who he hasn't seen in awhile, for coffee. He slipped on his dark clothing, and thought for a second. He actually hasn't seen Tifa in a year and a half now, and, unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to befriend her. She was extremely gorgeous, but Tatsu's heart belonged to Rikku, whom he truly had an experience with. At first when he met Tifa, he knew she was missing a part of her. However, Tatsu found himself back again, with a serious attitude and a sorrowful life. He didn't know why the Tiburonian army would attack at that point in time. His life was full of regret from all the wrong moves he had made in his past. Somewhere in the back of his head thought only one name: Lexetor. He didn't know why Lexetor popped in his mind. Now he questioned the fact if he were even meant to live like people. He walked the loneliest road he had ever seen, and he wondered why he felt somewhat comfortable to live by himself. Still wondering, he looked out into the partly cloudy sky. Ridgar, Rhinoa was still in nearly ruins from three years ago. The city was trashed when a person named Cloud Strife who had defeated a malignant Soldier commander named Sephiroth. Tatsu sighed, heading out for morning training just before going to the bar.
