Prelude: Where it all began.

Cloudo was on his way back to his palace from the great war that had just torn apart the world when he felt an explosion behind him. It came from Khosan, the bomb city. They felt they ruled themselves and that he, the emperor had no power over them. “**** Do they want to start another war.” All of a sudden three more bombs flew right at him. He jumped out of the way just in time, but by now anger was just swelling up inside him.

There was a flash of light. When it went away you could see wings had appeared on his back. One was of an angel, one a demon. Within seconds of his transformation he was flying straight towards the city. He drew a metal rod that separated at the middle. As bombs flew and him he dodged them or he batted them away with his rod.

When he reached the city he set down lightly so as not to be heard even though he was sure they already knew he was there. He walked through the gates ready to defeat any attackers, but the whole city was empty. This surprised him because normally the city was bursting with activity. The only thing that could be heard was him. The leader of the city lived in the largest house in town that sat on top of the hill as if it dared the whole town to move even an inch. He went up the hill and kicked open the door. When he went in he saw a man in a room that he saw so many times in the past year it almost made him sick.

The man had pale skin and white hair. He was of a race known as the Ivakin. In his hand he held a menacing looking chain with a blade on one end and a handle on the other. The man raised his weapon and started spinning it wildly moving with it like it was part of him. He flung the blade at Cloudo so fast he didn’t have time to move. The blade had so much power it cut his right arm off. There was another flash of light and he reverted back to his normal self. “I expected more fight out of the emperor.” said the white haired man said the man in a provoking tone. “Ha Ha You think it’s over?” The man turned to see a gun pointed right at him. “Ah so you are the owner of the legendary canon. If we’re fighting like that, I guess I should be Link, the hero of time.” Cloudo not having his right arm shook the card scanner on his left arm and let the card fall into the slot on the gun. “Sou’unga!” A purple circle appeared when he fired, and then it shot at Link. Link put his mirror shield up just in time to reflect the blast. Cloudo jumped out of the way but dropped the gun. In mid air he used the Squall card.

When he landed he jumped right at him with his gunblade. “Lion Heart!” After the series of hits he landed. The man was still standing; he reverted back to his normal self. “Holy ****! How much life is in you?” Cloudo shouted. “More than you can take down.” said the man with a smirk. They continued fighting into the dungeon and the man backed Cloudo into a magic cage. He then locked the gate with some of his magic. “This cage will slowly weaken you and without your arm you’re kinda out of luck. You can try to escape but this cage resists all alchemy and magic and you’re short on energy. Oh and this cage reflects moonlight so you wont get any energy from there. The room slowly faded from view as fatigue over took him.
