The Omen Begins
"What does he think he is doing?" Sarah huffed, as she sat down on the patio chair. Her arms were crossed, her face a bright red. Anger swam through her.
It was suppose to be a vacation where they could all spend time together. He shouldn't be worrying about his duties or anything.
"He is suppose to be resting, not working."
All the chipmunks sat on the patio table, not knowing what to say to Sarah. Her gaze the turned to her children, who were playing inside the house with the chipmunks children.
"When will he realize that we need him as well? We should be his top priority."
"Sarah, you know Tyler puts us a head of everything else" Alvin quietly replied, looking up at her with serious eyes.
"Then why is he taking this little encounter so seriously, that he is going to another country? Couldn't he hold it off for a while"
Alvin glanced over at his brothers, as they gave him a slow nod, telling him he should tell her.
Alvin took a deep breath, then looked back at Sarah.
"Before that man became that weird creature, we left the monitoring room, and were listening near the door. We heard it mention something about the bringer of chaos. Saying that he was rising, and that Tyler was the only one that could stand in his way."
"And what exactly is this bringer of chaos?" Brittany asked, staring at her husband intently.
Alvin looked down, giving a small frustrated sigh.
"I don't know. Tyler is the one who harbours the memories of what our race once was. Whatever it is, he seems to know."
"You said he was going to Tunguska. Do you know why?" asked Jeanette.
The three chipmunks shook their heads.
"As soon as he was out the building, he quickly took off." Theodore replied.
"But we did find this." Simon added, holding the folded piece of paper.
He set it down on the table, folding it open, revealing a bunch of weird symbols that looked like they were traced on.
"The weak shall perish, in the shadow of a rising darkness. That is what it says." Alvin said, as he studied the paper.
"What do you think it means by that?" Eleanor asked. "It must mean something to have affected Tyler so much."
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to make of those group of words.
A small rumble then filled the air, growing louder and louder until it turned into the sound of a approaching jet.
"Let's get some answers." Sarah hissed, as she jumped out of her seat, running for the field.
The chipmunks quickly followed behind staying close behind as they reached the field, just in time to see Tyler land on his feet, slowly walking towards the house.
"Mind telling us what you think you were doing?" Sarah fired, looking up at Tyler.
He paused, looking down at them with blank eyes. He slowly reached for his back, pulling out a large, human size sphere that was gold plated, covered in alien symbols.
"Getting this." He replied, as he held the object in his hands.
He slowly made his way towards the house, holding the sphere like it was a bomb.
"And what exactly is that thing?" Brittany asked.
Tyler set the object on the ground, then turned back to everyone else.
"The covenant of Primus. This is what caused the Tunguska blast of 1908."
"That small sphere!" Exclaimed Simon, remembering back to his history lessons. "It was behind the blast."
"No. It was the blast."Tyler replied, his eyes studying the sphere.
Carefully, he placed his fingers on the sphere, unsure of what would happen. As soon as he came in contact with it, the whole thing lit up. Small horizontal lines covered the whole thing, as it rose up into the air. Everyone stepped back, as the whole thing began to fold open. The sphere almost seemed to fold in half, only leaving half a sphere, with the flat side facing up into the sky.
A small ray of light shot up from the centre, suddenly making several other sphere appear, all of them in a almost straight line.
"What is all this?" Alvin asked, amazed at the sight he was seeing.
Tyler knew there was no point in hiding it anymore. What he just saw, confirmed what he feared the most.
"The covenant of Primus is capsule, containing ancient prediction made by our people. And there is one on here, that I fear, is coming true."
"And which one is that?" Sarah said, as she came up next to her husband, placing her hand on his large foot.
He said nothing for several moments. He didn't want to scare them, but he knew he shouldn't be keeping them in the dark.
"It was written in the covenant of Primus, that when the forty-seven spheres aline, a perpetual conflict will culminate, upon a world forged from chaos. And the weak shall perish, in the shadow of a rising darkness. The one carrying the ancient incarnation of creation, shall use it to reawaken that which was lost."
"And what makes you think this prophecy is coming true?" Simon asked.
Tyler then pointed to the convenient, at all the spheres that seemed to be almost lined up.
"There are forty-seven spheres on here. Plus, that creature at the station could only have come from one place. It was made, by the very thing, that is referred to in the prophecy."
Everyone remained silent, expecting Tyler to say what it was the was being referred to in the prophecy. But he remained silent. He just stared towards the spheres, now moving a single bit of his body. They waited several minutes, but still, he said nothing.
"And what is this thing the prophecy is referring to?" Alvin asked.
Tyler slowly turned his head, giving them all a serious stare. They could tell what ever it was, it was going to be big.
"In the beginning, when the universe was in its infancy, there were two beings. Primus, and Unicron. One was the incarnation of creation, the other of destruction. Unicron began to devour worlds, hoping to create a universe where nothing existed, except for him. Primus, not wanting to see the universe destroyed, battled his evil twin for eons. According to legend, Primus was finally able to cast out Unicron, where he was never heard from again. Primus took on a planetary form, becoming the very world in which our race evolved from."
He stood up, gently touching the covenant, turning it back into the small golden sphere.
"Unicron was called many things. The bringer of chaos, darkness's shadow, all of which are referred to in the prophecy."
The covenant gently hovered in his hands, as he moved over to the shed, carefully putting it in the corner.
"Was that who Jordan was talking about eight months ago?" Sarah asked.
Tyler's body quickly shrunk down, returning to his human self. He took a deep breath, slowly running his hand through his hair.
"Yeah. dark energon was said to be Unicron's blood. When Jordan appeared, and showed me, it just confirmed that all of the old legends are true."
Nothing was said for several seconds. Nobody was sure what to make off all this. Tyler briefly looked down at the ground,then back up at his family. Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, a loud roar filled their eyes.
Everyone covered their ears, as the looked up at the sky. A large ball of fire flew through the clouds, streaking across the sky. It was moving so quick, they only had a few second glance before it disappeared beyond the horizon.
There was a brief pause, just as the whole ground shook beneath them. The chipettes lost their footing, but were quickly caught by their husbands before they could fall. "What in the world was that?" Exclaimed Brittany, as they regained their footing.
"A asteroid." Tyler stated, looking off in the direction it went. "And it looks like that thing landed at the peninsula."
He then looked back at Alvin and his brothers.
"You guys stay here. I'll go and check it out. Keep everyone safe."
He then began to rise into the air, but just as his feet came one foot off the ground, Sarah grabbed his hand.
"Be careful." She said.
He gave her a smile, as he pulled his hand away, shot off into the sky.
Tyler slowly made his way down a small valley of rocks and cliffs. There was only one thing that seemed off. It was the area where that asteroid seemed to land, but the whole area was untouched. It was like nothing ever happened. But something did happen. He could feel it. A invisible shroud seemed to blanket the area. The air was thick and stale, and a thin erie fog seemed to wisp though.
He stopped in his tracks, his chest starting to throb and burn like crazy. He looked down at his arms, seeing that strange pattern once again appear, and quickly disappear.
Tyler took several deep breaths, slowly pushing the pain back down, until it seemed almost none existent. He slowly continued on. Every once in a while, he would hear the small rattle of tumbling rocks, making him pause. He felt like he was being watch from everywhere. That creepy feeling of eyes watching him seemed to scream out at him.
A loud bang echoed through the valley, making Tyler jump, his eyes starting to dart all over the place, trying to find the source of the noise. The feeling of eyes watching him then returned, feeling like hey were looking at the back of his head.
Tyler slowly turned around, as another rattle of rocks filled his ears. As he turned he looked towards the rock side, and almost froze, when he saw the out line of a body in the rock, with two purple lowing eyes.
"Do you know me, follower of Primus?"
Tyler immediately knew who it was. The one referred to in accent texts. The one that referred to in the prophecy.
"Unicron, the chaos bringer."
A evil smile formed, as the eyes turned thin and narrow. "Very good" he hissed. The body then seemed to melt into the rock, disappearing from sight.
The sounds of rock falling began to grow, echoing through the valley, sounding like a raging river.
Tyler got down on one knee, as his body grew, turning back into his robotic form. His eyes looked for ever bit of movement that caught his eye, knowing that Unicron could come out from anywhere.
Another rumble of collapsing rocks caught hi attention, as he quickly turned around, in time to see a whole rock side collapse. And standing above the rubble, was figure of Unicron. He was at least twenty feet taller than Tyler. Two large horns extended out of his shoulder, and two smaller ones out of his head. His right hand was a large, mass of spikes, while his right was a long skinny pick.
The two locked eyes, with Unicron now looking down at Tyler with hate and despise.
"Now know me as Unicron, YOUR DESTROYER."
He then charged, raising his right arm, aiming straight for Tyler.
