Prologue.

Luther wheezed as he struggled to breath his mind filled with unanswered questions, his black massive wings, once majestic and daunting, were now tattered and useless, blood trickled and dripped from the various wounds that seemed to cover his body. The taste of iron in his mouth, his chest heaved, the pain more excruciating every time he inhaled, due to the broken ribs he received from the earlier fight. Fayt and his companions had won. They all stared at Luther, struggling to stay erect, still holding the massive spear; he raised it into the air, a wicked smile covering his mutilated face.

"Give it up Luther!" Fayt commanded, stepping forward "we won"

"I think not, you see, I still have one card left up my sleeve" Luther drove his spear into the solid metal floor sending a huge shockwave sweeping across it, throwing Fayt and his companions to the ground. Luther turned and limped towards the massive control panel that operated the computer generated universe known as the Eternal Sphere, a fantasy world that had been created for the entertainment of the 4-D beings of the Lost City, he pressed a small button on the consol, an alarm ringed out

"DELETION OF THE ETERNAL SPHERE IS COMENCEING: ALL USERS PLESE LOG OFF AND SHUT DOWN!"

Fayt stared at the display screen, tears of anger, and sorrow filling his eyes as he listened to the computer announcing their impending doom, thoughts of revenge and rage entered his heart and mind. He stood, grasping his broadsword tightly, his knuckles turning white under his gloves, staring at Luther, Luther staring at him.

"It's too late Fayt" Luther sneered "the deletion of the eternal sphere has already begun, killing me won't make a difference now"

"Probably not, But it will sure feel good!" Fayt snarled as he raised his sword high, he stared at Luther, judging his distance, the battle playing in his mind, calculating his moves in an instant, Fayt charged towards Luther, Luther readied his spear and rushed towards Fayt, both warriors gaining speed, their minds focused on one thing and one thing only, Destruction.

Fayt leaped into the air holding his sword with murderous intent, driving his blade downward, breaking Luther's guard, Luther staggered backwards, still clutching his spear, he looked up just in time to see Fayt charging towards him in a instant Luther side stepped and swung his mighty spear, the pointed tip ripping into Fayt's lower torso, a spray of blood showering the metallic floor, Luther drove the butt end of his spear into Fayt's stomach causing him to loose his breath, catching his air, Fayt quickly side kicked Luther in the head, Luther screamed in agony and hatred, Fayt, seeing a window of opportunity as Luther struggled to lift his spear took it and buried his sword into Luther's throat. Blood spewed from his mouth, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, the lids closing as he fell to the floor, his limp body making a dull thud in the silence of the room.

Fayt stood, his body rippled with pain, and sorrow as he watched his universe come to an end. Sophia and the others slowly regained their stance. They rushed to be by Fayt's side. Blair pounded on the consol "Dammit!" she yelled "its no use I can't stop it."

Sophia clutched Fayt's arm "What are we going to do now" she cried

"Wait," Fayt said "And believe"

Suddenly Maria gasped as she clutched her head, a sheering pain entering their skulls, Fayt screamed as he felt his limbs being pulled apart, and, suddenly, there was nothing, nothing but stars, Fayt felt himself floating there, but he lacked any physical form. He remained still, hoping it would all come together, hoping for his disappearance, and his friends return

His eyes opened.
