Prince of Persia: A Soul Divided

I own no rights to Prince of Persia.

A/N: This is my story of what I think the third game will be like. I hope to finish the story before the game itself comes out.

The Prince and the empress of time were making out in a shabby little house while war was going on in Babylon. They had sex and the blood of Kaileena became one with his own, and from that moment, Kaileena was carrying his child. Meanwhile, in Babylon, the king's crown fell down the steps of the king's stronghold, only to be stopped by the armored boot of a cloaked man whose red eyes showed clearly while the rest of him did not. He picked up the crown and uttered the words "all that is yours is rightfully mine…and mine it shall be" he said turning to reveal Farah bound to a cross, and taking his leave.

Kaileena and the Prince fell asleep after they used all their energy during sex but were soon awakened by the heat of flames around them. They instantly started panicking, trying their best to put out the fire. They gave up after a few minutes, grabbed their most important possessions, and left the house to find the rest of Babylon on fire too "wh-what has happened here?" the Prince asked no one in particular.

"He has come to take what is his" Kaileena mysteriously said

"What's that suppost to mean?" he asked "does it have to do with the sands of time?"

Kaileena smiled and lightly kissed him on the lips "You catch on pretty quick. I'm sorry, but you have to find out on your own. If I told you, it would mess up the very fabrics of time itself, and I'm sorry, but my job as time empress comes before you. Besides, if I told you, the baby and I would die." She said, "Now we must part. I will raise the baby on the island of time while you fight your enemies"

"And if I refuse to fight?" he challenged her

"Then everything you've fought and toiled for will be lost…as well as the future of all mankind. You are the mightiest warrior alive. Without you, the world can kiss itself goodbye" she sassed

"If only it was somebody else's responsibility. I'm tired of fighting." He said looking sad.

"After you've completed your journey, you will have to fight no longer," she said

"I see that this conversation is going nowhere. Just go to the Island of time already. I'll save the world…again." He said holding her one last time and placing a soft kiss on her lips one last time.

With that, the Prince embarked on his next adventure. Where it would lead him, he did not know. But he knew he would know what Kaileena was talking about by the end. After running on the rooftops of Babylon fighting various monsters, the Prince met up with the cloaked man who was the most suspicious looking person around. He also noticed that Farah was being tied on a cross. The Prince jumped off the rooftops to in front of the man.

"What are you doing with Farah and the King's crown?" the Prince immediately asked.

"So hasty to receive answers. That shall be your downfall. And if I refuse to give you answers? Dare I guess that you might resort to violence?" the cloaked man asked with a grin.

The Prince took out his swords in response. "Ahh. I have waited for this moment all my life." The cloaked man said

"So you somehow are connected to the sands of time. That would be the only way you could wait for this all your life. Or is it just a saying to try and act cool?" the Prince asked

"Quite the perceptive one. Yes, I am connected to the sands of time. I know more about them than you ever shall. Today, you will depart from this fight with…shall we a say…a gift of my supreme knowledge" he cloaked man said

"I will depart with the gift of defeating you" the Prince said and lunged forward. The cloaked man easily dodged and brought out a black glove with crimson red claws on them and put them on his hands. He then made a quick swipe for the Prince, which the Prince parried and counter attacked by doing a roundhouse kick and tried to attack the man with his sword directly after. The man stumbled backwards from the kick as planed and was even left with a shoulder wound.

The cloaked man laughed at this "all is happening as is written in the sands of time" he said and went to where he had just attacked the Prince from. There was a rip in the space-time continuum where the man's claws made contact with in his attempted attack. "Follow me to the future where we will meet and fight again under different circumstances. Come to my new castle" the man said and brought Farah with him into the rip and was gone.

The Prince followed after him and was greeted by a Babylon not too far in the future, but drastically different nonetheless. The rooftops had been formed to make the city a giant puzzle. And in the distance stood a castle with a foreboding dark cloud over it. Prince didn't have much time to admire the view until his hand started tingling. He checked his hand for the cause, and saw black blood traveling from his sword where he wounded the man to his arm. Prince didn't have much time to wonder what was happening before he felt immense pain down his arm where the blood was moving.

This reminded him of when he had found the mask of the wraith when a possibility crossed his mind despite the pain that cloaked man could be the creator of the mask of the wraith. He must be a sick and twisted man. After thinking this though, he was greeted by the same pain across the rest of his body now. After a few minutes, his entire body was covered in the blood, which soon turned into skin, and changed his sword into a link of many razor sharp blades into a chain like weapon.

His hair, and eyes also seemed demonic now as well. Half his skin had lines of emanating orange. The sands of time were mixing with this new body to create…the dark Prince. His hair was now black and standing on end and his eyes were the same orange as the sands as well. He felt ten times more powerfull. But he soon rellized he didn't care about anyone. All he wanted to do was kill, kill, kill. He smiled evily at these thoughts of his. They certainly matched how the normal Prince sometimes felt. This body was a manifestation of his evil side.

"I will get you mysterious cloaked man. And when I do, you will beg before me to allow me to kill you" he said in a deep voice unlike his own. His skin slowly turned regular as did the rest of his body and his new weapon. The Regular Prince was back without any more pain.

"hmmph. So that was the power he gave me. No matter. It will only end this faster." He said and walked toward the first puzzle. As he went through it, he took the time to think.

That cloak man is very mysterious. It seems familiar and yet he does not. And where exactly did he learn how to give people such power. I wish to find out more about him…but I will not be so hasty this time. Who knows what he's got hidden up his sleave.

-And thus we leave the Prince with his thoughts…and yours. What's in store for the Prince will surprise many of you. Please Read and Review…or I might not update :O
