At Jacob's homestead when he watched the news reports he had a good reason to be both frightened and curious the mysterious reports the news reporter was talking about had more truths to them than anyone could know at that point and time.
It was all just a few months ago. Around the time when Chernabog finally rose from the mountain finally awake after countless centuries he was ready to finally rise again and take hold over every realm. His plan would be to spread his dark shadow across both Ethiopia and every realm beyond it. The Sun of every realm would be snuffed. No one would ever see a day again only the night would remain, and every creature made by the darkness or were one with it would walk and fly about and any living creature would live only to make their lives one of terror and misery there would be no hope. No Savior and no light to calm their fears.
The Fear of all that was living would fuel his malice and strengthen his will. All would kneel before the mighty demon of Bald Mountain.
But he was still not strong enough to leave the base of the mountain. Both acting as his prison and his home. With his power still limited he needed an army that would be able to pass to the other realm where the only relic that was capable of stopping him resided. His Shadow demons could not go through as only in the realm of Ethiopia could they dwell. He needed someone who could cross the portal to the next realm and retrieve the relic no matter where it was.
Using all the power he had upon him he called forth from the underworld to bring life back to those that had lost it and were cast into darkened oblivion for their deeds of evil. It worked well for the King of all Demons as every one of those that he summoned up from the underworld bringing those had lost their lives back to live. Freeing them from their prisons or had their minions bring forth those that dwelled in raging solitude due to their defeats or dreams being ruined by those whose names they cursed.
Everyone that he had summoned forth all manner of villain, dark god or sorcerer all owed the Lord of all darkness their very lives. If they desired to keep the life they were now given back they now must heed their new master. They could easily die by his hand as well as they perished before. But if they wanted to have a chance to live past their normal lifespan and reside as the lower rulers of the realms then they will carry a special task that will guarantee their place in the new order that is to come.
The Task they were given was to seek out a relic that was in the hands of a child. It was unclear of what the child looked like and where he resided. All that was known is that he has the relic, which is the only thing capable of stopping, Chernabog and forgoing any chance for his new acquainted minions to have their revenge and earn a piece of what would be given when the darkness shall reign.
Their Duty was to go into the realm of where this child was. They were to seek him out by any means necessary. They were free to do it however they wanted their abilities and power should give them all the craft and advantage they would need in the world beyond their own. They were specifically ordered to find this child and bring him and the relic to, Chernabog without delay. Though the world they were going to be sent to is completely unknown and his shadow demons cannot cross it to scout the world itself, Chernabog warned them that if they should fail him in this duty he would cast them all back to the underworld to never live again and he will personally make sure they will suffer all the more in eternity.
With his orders clear and their task was more than obvious every villain he had summoned, Chernabog opened a portal to the realm known as earth. Each of them were eager to step though as a whole other world awaited them. A World that was without those that defeated and defiled them. A World that was ripe for plunder and ruin. A World where they were now free to take hold over and use it to how they fashioned. But with the cold warning of their new master, they quickly set out the task of finding the child they sought.
As every villain had stepped through the portal to the realm of Earth they each were transported into different locations. Some of these locations were either jungle or desert. Some were villages to cities to even an ocean.
Some of the villains were given something that was acquired of them to have in their effort to find the child with the relic. A Certain disgraced pirate who had lost a hand and replaced it with a hook who was devoured by a crocodile that ate the hand he had lost was give an entire galleon for him and his entire crew of pirates.
A long and thin woman who had a fashion craze over the fur of animals that lost her life in a car accident during a chase to recover those that she needed for her latest fashion design was given a car to search the roads and streets of the country she found herself in.
There were a few others that were given items or vehicles they would need for their search while some already had the power or the skills necessary to search on their own. With every one of them scattered across the world and with so many of them with each of them having a country or a continent to look around they set out on their quest to appease the one who had given them their lives back and promised them a piece of what would be gained once the child and relic is his and with his power to be unchallenged darkness will spread like a pandemic across every realm and they each would have something of it to do as their please.
Every Villain in their perspective areas all scattered in any direction they desired to seek out this child they had been sent out to this world to find. For the first few weeks there was nothing. All that anyone were finding were humans and unintelligible animals. It seemed that this world was populated only with humans and nothing purely magical.
The Realm of Earth was quite massive, but it offered little compared to the realm of which they came from. Everything in this realm was modern and not a mix of races as back in Ethiopia those with technology and those with what's considered ancient and old ways of living. Some accepted technology while some preferred to live as they were.
Here in Earth everything was technology. Nearly every country that the villains searched through while trying to keep a low profile. Though some could easily a man with a swipe of their claws. The Swing of a sword or a blast of magic they didn't need to draw any unnecessary attention until they each learned what they could or perhaps pick up a lead on where to find this child that they were sent to seek out.
One week ended after another. More and more the villains searched high and low. Some tried to perform acts of charity or would charm to persuade someone to give them any useful information about the child they all looked. Some eavesdropped from the shadows or made back alley threats to gain anything useful. But nothing was working.
With no detail on who the child was or even a description of what he looked like and only had the relic as the only piece of information on him finding the child the quiet and subtle way was not going to cut it. Many of the Villains now were starting to take drastic measures into finding the child.
With Technology being the dominant trait of the humans of Earth some of the villains had to force an unfortunate being to either teach them how to use and understand tech or make them their puppet in their quest to find the child.
Even when some of them were starting to gain a better understanding of the realm there was still nothing to go on with finding the Child they sought. The Task that once sounded simple enough was turning into an infuriating one. Day after day there was nothing. No information. And even those that either persuaded someone to work with them or forced them against their will could do little in their effort to find the one they were looking for.
Most of them were growing more angry and more repulsive by the day. They hardly had done anything and got nowhere with their search. Desperate to do something more and to regain the lost glory that was taken from them many of them abandoned their searches. There would be other ways to search for the child if they had a true foothold in the realm of Earth instead of skulking through dark corners or staying hidden in fog and wave.
Not wanting to hold back who they were anymore nearly everyone of them decided that it was time to take back even a piece of all that was taken from them. Or build up a settlement for themselves to make a foothold in this new world and then start by either building up a force of some kind or simply make something of their own design as they had so once before.
Months then began to pass as the villains truly begun planting their own stake in the realm of Earth. Some had taken over old temples and ruins making a seat of power for themselves. With the promise of riches untold they caught the greedy hands of some of the Earth's lowest scum to not only search for information on the child they sought that held the relic but to bring back anything of value.
Some villains had a desire to destroy ravage. A few of them that held deep grudge against humanity and even more so for them being the reason they had been killed in the first place they would repay it tenfold. Deep in the jungles or the outback or in lands far from the nearest civilization villages and those that lived in solitude found themselves stalked by deadly animals that seemed to know how to elude their gun and fire. They would never sleep soundly knowing they were becoming prey to these savage animals that no one seemed could be able to fight against and soon enough any who stayed in those lands would eventually meet an untimely end by claw and fang.
Other villains had their own agenda as well. Some wanted to feel like their old selves once again. One who led the band of pirates led raids upon ships and coastal villages even though their crew was only by the dozen their savage attacks and their desire to pillage and plunder made them legends on the coasts of one of the many seas and there was talk of a dreaded pirate ship that would sooner hook its ropes on a ship and take everything of worth on it and leave no survivors or would plunder a village and leave it to burn.
A certain Sea Witch desired the sea she resided in as her own. Forming a new cave, she quickly harvested all that she would need to conjure up all the spells she would desire to use to gain what she wanted at the expense of other. A Rumor began to spread in the southern seas that an octopus like creature would take the form of a woman to seduce and manipulate any poor soul that would be tempted to gain what they wanted in exchange for something the woman desired and if they could not pay their debt they would never be seen again.
Nearly all who had been sent to Earth were now starting to enjoy themselves. They were now regaining all that was taken from them or finally achieving what they were stopped from attempting. Though their terror was still mostly in the shadow of rumor and the missing the persons were only cold cases it would only be a matter of time before the world come to know what evil is haunting them from within.
Even though the villains were reveling in their newfound regained status and starting to enjoy the luxuries Earth had to offer and many humans were falling under some of them or suffering a fate worse than death none of them had forgotten their true purpose there. Their duty to find the child that had the relic that would destroy the one who had given them all life once again.
With many of the villains having gained a network of followers that answered to them either by greed or fear they had eyes and ears upon nearly every corner of the world by then. Someone somewhere had to have some information on the child. Someone had to know either the name or at least have seen the relic the child carries. All they needed was that child and then they would all gain ultimate triumph.
One day news finally reached the villain who deemed himself a sultan in a once abandoned palace in the middle eastern desert. He had taken over the ruins and made it anew to his liking. A Powerful sorcerer who was one of the few who had put together the network of spies and mercenaries who pledged their service in the promise of riches and anything else they would desire if they should please him. A Report had come in from one of his spies in the northern continent across the ocean known as the Atlantic.
The one known as Jafar eagerly awaited the news as he sat on his thrown with the head of a large cobra sculpted out of pure gold awaited the messengers report as he ran and kneeled in front of the one whom was told to address him 'Master' or 'Sultan.' The Messenger gave his report and introduced an image imprinted upon a scroll. Jafar snatched the scroll from his servant and peered closely. He made out the image of a boy no older than eight at the least. The Boy didn't seem much and before, Jafar could throw the scroll away something caught his eye. Around the neck of the boy was a necklace but it was no ordinary necklace. It was the very relic that he and every other one that was sent to Earth had searched for. The Boy's name was Jacob Owensworth living in the capital city in a country called Great Britain.
Jafar laughed manically as the news had pleased him greatly. Finally, after so long the search was finally over! The Boy was discovered after all this time. He may have achieved what he first had wanted back in his home world to become a Sultan to rule over a Palace and the city just beyond it having riches untold and an army of minions that answered to him but when the Child is captured, and the relic retrieved he would have ten times all the more for what he had now.
"Excellent!" He snickered as he rolled up the scroll. Snapping his fingers, a gold bar fell at the messenger's feet.
"Your service is rewarded." Jafar smiled grimly.
The Messenger quickly gathered the gold bar looking up at the sorcerer. "Thank you, my lord."
"Be gone! All of you! I have much to ponder!" Jafar boomed as the messenger and every guard left the throne room leaving him alone.
A Red feather parrot flew down from a tiny throne that was made just for him up in the rafters of the throne room. He just ate a grape while admiring a gold piece in his hand. Taking off his tiny crown he came down and perched himself on, Jafar's right shoulder.
"So, the little brat has been found, has he?" The Parrot inquired.
"Yes, Iago!" Jafar confirmed as he stood from his throne gripping upon a staff made to resemble a cobra and walked to his right. "Now I can summon the rest of our…friends. We shall need to co-op for this moment. That child will be as good as ours and when he does then we will have all the more this world and beyond can offer!" Jafar laughed manically once again as he continued to walk over to a small round table.
He pointed his snake staff as it shot a beam of red from the mouth of it at it as from the round table water bubbled then formed into a ball just above it as images began to appear. Jafar and his cohort, Iago all smiled and snickered as the faces of all their allies began to appear. Though they hardly bothered with them ever since they all first came into the realm of Earth they all would call in with each other on occasion to constantly report their own failures in finding the one they sought. It delighted Jafar all the more as he was the one who had discovered the child first.
"Wonderful news! I shall get right to the point! I have discovered the Child. A Boy. A useless whelp not much more than a tiny street rat has been discovered by my sources. I bid you all to come to my Palace and we shall discuss how to go about his capture in person."
The Images faded as the water splashed down back on the round table. Jafar raised up his arms and laughed once more as triumph was now at hand.
