The Rift

Prologue

As a child I was often told stories of how the world used to be before They came. Stories which nowadays seem very hard to believe.

I was told of how the world after the 4^th great World War, which had taken the lives of a third of the worlds population, had come together to found the United Earth Republic, the UER for short.

Acording to the stories UER had made major efforts into reforming the Earth's social and economic structure into a perfect society where no one wanted for anything.

All natural resorces where closely monitored and currency was universal. A strict population control was enacted to prevent overpopulation.

Enviromental counsels worked to restore Earth to it's former glory. Green energy dominated and national parks where created everywhere. Earth was once again the green and peaceful paradise it had once been.

Weapons where banned and all nuclear weapons dismanteled.

Supposedly at the peak of our civilization 200 years later, an underground orginazation formed.

This orginazation was one that thrived on chaos and anarchy, dissatisfied with the peace and the bans put in place they attemted to create a weapon of mass destuction. What went wrong is unknown, the device went nuclear and killed millions of people.

UER sent relief teams in to aid the survivers in the affected areas however when the teams got there there was not a soul in site. Even the areas untouched by the blast, was empty of any people.

They continued searching for weeks but no one was recovered. Rebuilding began and life returned to normal. Until the day the first portal was discovered at the epicenter of the blast. A seemingly small round window of bright glowing red light from which creatures appeared. Creatures out of nightmares with human and animal parts combined together to create a horrifying visage of teeth and claws. With no weapons to which to defend themselves with, thousands of humans where killed or dragged through the portal those first days. The creatures where dubbed Demons.

Martial law was enacted, weapons created and the police force which had only been a token force as crime was near non existent, was spurred into action. For weeks the fight raged between humans and the demons around the immediate area around the portal.

For a small while it looked like humans where going to win when another portal opened, this one glowing bright white. From that portal came the creatures we today know as Angeleus, due to their likeness to the angels in the old religios book The Bible.

Beautiful humanoid beings with bright white wings wearing metal armor and carrying swords and other metal weapons. The beings tore through the demon ranks with an ease that made the tired human envious. Cheers rose into the air as the last demon fled back through the portal. Cheers which turned to cries of alarm as the winged beings turned to them and attacked. The humans where massacred.

This was the beginning of the end for human civilization as they knew it.

Thousands of portals opened all over the world, bilions of people perished, the rest fled underground, into the old bunkers left over from the 4^th war.

That is where we are know, though the bunkers are now large self sufficient cities. Now why am I even writing this? I am not even sure anyone is going to read this journal, but maybe I just want to leace something of me behind, something to prove that I was here, that I was alive incase my first mission goes wrong.

Maybe I did this wrong, I should tell you who I am before giving a history lesson. My name is Mase I am 16 years old and I'm the first and hopefully not the last.

The first what you ask? Well the Doc tells me I'm the pride of human technology. A human artificially created with trace amounts of Demon and Angeleus DNA.

A Guardian. I am faster, stronger and smarter then any normal human, not that I am feeling all that smart at the moment, I mean I took a mission that is most likely going to get me killed. And for what?

Well for you I suppose. I asked the Doc to give this to my successor should I die and if you are reading this then I am dead but I didn't fail.

If you are reading this then I succeeded in bringing back more non human DNA for your creation. Hopefully the DNA from which you where created was from high ranking Demons and Angeleus so you wont suffer the side effects I have suffered from, one being the reason I took the mission.

To create the perfect Guardian, one without flaws, one needs DNA from Demons and Angeleus as humanoid as possible otherwise the foreign DNA will overwrite your human DNA instead of bonding with it as it is intended.

You see that is what is happening to me. Doc tells me that I will be dead within the year with the rate it is going, so I figure I might as well do something grand before I go out.

Now what I am gonna tell you next might surprise you. You are most likely my son.

Doc promised me that if I die he will create the second generation Guardian using my human DNA.

I wish I could see the man or woman you have become. However the circumstances being what they are....

I think I will end it here or I might start crying. You know I really do not want to die yet but if it is for you it is not so bad.

Be strong my child and may your life be more prosperous than mine.

Your father Mase.

 

Jason lowered the letter slowly, a single tear sliding from the corner of his right eye.

A/N It's been quite some time since I last posted anything, now I can't say how often this story will be updated sind RL doesn't give me a whole lot of time to write. As for all the tags well not really sure what will apear in the story so might add more later on...
