I emerge from my long slumber and awaken to find my new body made of flesh and bone. Midway through examining my new form, a voice suddenly yells at me.
"Get Moving we are still in a war you know."
"Who was that?" I reply.
" No time, but get going we are still fighting."
"Who am I fighting and why?"
"Your kidding right, ugh fine here?"
Memories of the glorious battle rush into my mind. Carefully and patiently I sift through these memories building my perception of my past.
"Us and our archenemy, the notorious, the diabolical, the omnipotent Cricks." the voice interjects.
"Ours?, That means that?" I stammer.
"Yes, we are one and the same, We are opposites, perfectly balancing each other in our mind." The voice explains. "We have the same body, the same memories and we share a mind.
"What happened to us then?" I inquire.
"Cricks and Us where fighting over the fate of the universe, the fight began in 2010, and we were losing so I did the only thing we could do left, I buried us in the core of an extremely volatile planet. Here we needed to grow stronger to combat him on even terms." the voice explains.
"I see so what now?"
"We continue our war, until we or him are dead."
"Why are we fighting? Surely there must be a reason for that horrible destruction."
"Cricks wanted to enslave the universe and we vowed to stop him no his crusade." the voice responds urgently "Now are we done lets get moving, we wasted enough time already."
Using my memories as guide I create a tunnel to the surface and race through it in an instant. Realizing that I am still naked from my transformation, I create clothes for myself.
"Remember if we want to strike first we must maintain the element of surprise."says the voice.
"Do you have a name oh wise teacher" I reply sarcastically.
"Don't give me lip boy I'll thump you, anyway the names Valcon." he said jokingly.
Making myself invisible I cast my eye across the planet and find a city.
"Perfect start" I say.
Flitting towards the city I arrive moments later, only to be shocked by what I see. Aliens and humans living in poverty the streets cluttered with trash. Ducking to the side a gang of people on hover cycles pass me. Appalled by what I see I go to the next planet in orbit. Arriving at the main city for this planet I see the same problems, poverty, crime, posters of tyranny, abandoned wastelands destroyed buildings. Racing through planets I find wastelands and post apocalyptic worlds everywhere.
"What happened to the universe while we were gone?" I ask.
"I don't find an information booth or something." replies Valcon.
Spotting a terminal, I erase the graffiti, on the screen, and type "What year is it and what happened to the universe?"
The terminal responds immediately with the information and in a blunt metallic voice says
'The year is 12769, and has been 10759 years since the Great and Admirable Cricks, defeated Reaper the ruler of darkness in single combat. Soon after Cricks and his awe inspiring iron soldiers united the many worlds to follow his new regime and methods. Our ruler Cricks was kind enough to allow the regional governors to continue ruling there worlds but he had ultimate authority from his Golden Throne on his home planet of Earth. We pay homage to our lord everyday to thank him for not destroying our wonderful universe. Have a nice day!'
The terminal shuts down and becomes silent, leaving me overwhelmed with the knowledge of the the world I was now in.
"Incredible, only the victors will write the history books. That lying bastard!. yells Valcon. " look at these people they have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it, we will to destroy him for what he has done."
"A dictatorship where he extorts the worlds for everything they have to offer." I reply, feeling the anger coursing through our veins, I state "He will pay for this, Reaper is back."
I walk away into the dark alleys of the ruined city, disappearing into the blackness of the night.
