When the Future Comes……..

By Cypher

Prologue-2059

There he stood a lone figure in a world of mortality. Mortality, he was soon to over come that human flaw. It had taken him years to find all the metal scraps of the armor, even longer to remold it in his form. It had cost him his wife, friendships, but when one was immortal, you can have as many wives and friends as you want.

The dull gray armor refused to reflect sunlight. Instead, it seemed to twist the light and make it darker in the area where he stood. Dark clouds started rolling in around him at an almost unnatural speed. In his hands was the helmet, the final key to unlock his dream. His brown eyes scanned the field as a breeze blew his graying brown hair. He knew that they would come.

“What do you think you’re doing Yuli?!” A man with a scar under his eye yelled, drawing his black no-datchi with almost instinctual skill.

“Attaining what you have been given. Immortality!” Yuli yelled back.

“We can’t let you complete Talpa’s armor!” Kayura yelled, the Staff of Ancients beginning to ring. “It’s evil will be reawakened if you do!” Yuli laughed and raised the helmet over his head.

“It took me thirty-four years to get this far! I’m not letting you or anyone stop me!” He placed the helmet on his head.

“NO!” The Warlord’s exclaimed, preparing to run the man through. A wave of purple energy sent them back, and Yuli laughed again, a deep, demonic laugh.

“Fools! I told you no one will stop me!” His eyes began glowing a familiar red color.

“Then we’ll trap you so Talpa’s evil reign never returns!” Kayura exclaimed, throwing the Staff right in front of Yuli, enveloping him in it’s light. Eventually, the light faded, and the Staff fell to the ground. There was no sign of the tall armored man.

“What happened?” Dais asked, picking up the Staff and returning it to the blue haired woman that was kneeling on the ground.

“I trapped him in the pseudo dimension Talpa created for me to train in. I’ve locked the gates so he can’t escape any time soon.”

“I can’t believe that little Yuli would do something like this. If Ryo were still alive, it probably wouldn’t have happened.” Sekhmet commented. All four bowed their head in respect for the deceased Wildfire bearer.

“It was probably Wildfire’s death that drove him to this.” Cale theorized.

“Let’s not talk of this any more.” Dais said, opening a gate back to the Dynasty. “What has passed is past, and can never be changed. We still have some cleaning up to do at home. Let’s go.” Dais entered the portal, followed shortly by the other two males. Kayura looked at the last place Yuli had stood, before entering the gate herself.
