Author's Note: Hi again! MooNTeARZ it back! And with a vengeance! This is the prologue to my new story! The sequel to Angels and Demon! Anyway, before I go on, if you're new to my stories, I strongly urge you to read my first story: Tekken 5: Angels and Demons (and write me a nice little review for that one twoo )). Or, you can just read the prologue here. This is the incredibly condensed version of my first story (hey, I had to describe 37 chapters somehow!) Anyway, please review, and let me know what you think.
For as long as there has been evil in the world, there has been a Nephilim to combat it. A Nephilim is a hybrid of half human half angel. Whenever one Nephilim dies in battle, another is activated. They are male teenaged warriors who stand against the demons to save humanity.
They are blessed with the strength of about three able bodied men, outstanding agility, and rapid healing. This generation's Nephilim is named Jamie Parker. Jamie is slightly sarcastic and irreverent towards his calling; but he ultimately understands the ramifications and responsibilities that he must bear.
He has been the Nephilim for three years now, and, in Nephilim years, has reached the ripe old age of nineteen. Jamie's ingenuity knows no bounds, and he often attributes his longevity to having good friends to back him up.
In late 2004 the then eighteen year old Jamie traveled to Tokyo to participate in the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament. He was sent by the Via de Angelus (a secret society that aids the Nephilim) to quell the underlying, negative, supernatural influences that plagued the tournament.
His primary objective was to destroy the powerful demon known as Devil, and attempt to save the man who Devil inhabited…Kazuya Mishima. As the tournament progressed, Jamie made friends with Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, Doo San Hwoarang, Julia Chang, Steve Fox, and Christie Monteiro.
They banded together, and made a stand against Devil. To destroy the demon, Jamie had to perform an archaic ritual known as Ascending Angel. The ritual called for a Nephilim to ask for the assistance of three deceased Nephilim, to merge with him, combine their powers, and reach a perfect, angel form.
But the ritual came with a terrible price…the death of the Nephilim. To attain the awesome power of a perfect, angelic form, Jamie had to act as a sort of battery. The ritual saps vast amounts of energy away from the Nephilim until he is completely drained and…dead.
Jamie performed the ritual well, and saved Kazuya from Devil…he expected to die…but he was given another chance. The Creator, decided to let him live through the ritual, and grant him the added powers of the three deceased Nephilim who aided him in battle (Mark Baker (Jamie's immediate predecessor) Patrick Horton (who participated in the third tournament and lost his life to Ogre) and Baek Doo San (who gave his life to defeat Toshin)).
After the tournament ended, his friends who participated in it were asked to work for the Via de Angelus…while Jamie continued his work, and Kazuya Mishima lay asleep in a coma in Paris.
For a time, the world passed by in a complacent normality. It has been four months since the tournament ended, and no major threat has come to pass…but Jamie and his friends are about to come face to face with something that is not only older then the archaic Nephilim line…but older then Time itself…
It is said that for every decision that one makes, millions of alternate dimensions are born from the outcomes and the choices that you gave up…it's one of the most ancient theories that the Via de Angelus believes in…and what will happen when a simple over look comes back to haunt them all?
