(???) Light and Darkness. Two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. This is a truth I have come to grasp during my many years as the... Hm perhaps I should start from the begining. In the begining there were two entitys one of Light, and one of Darkness. Brothers no less. They have no master no creator. They simply existed at the begining. These beings weilding emense power created the Realms and the Dimensions. The Realms are the places in which they reside, guarded by their well... guards. The Dimensions are the places in which most have come to know as home. One of Light and one of Dark. We live in the Light Dimension. Though more specificly, we live in a Universe. The Main Universe. Both Dimensions hold millions of Universes each of which has copys of all the worlds with in eachother. For example. A girl exists in each Universe's copy of her world. In one she dies, in another she lives, in a third she goes on a mass killing spree. I'll leave the reason to your discretion. However the Main Universe is home to one uniqe world. Earth. My home, your home, and many others home. Though not everyones. This world exists in ONLY the Light Dimension's Main Universe. Not even in its Dark brother will you find it elsewhere. Before I get ahead of myself agian, let me tell you of the Guardians. No not the people who protect the Light. "though I guess they do in a sense" No I speak of the beings almost as strong as the Light itself maybe even stronger. The Darkness you see grew angry and jealous of its brother, having created so much, and having so little sucsess himself. He raised an army to start claiming his brother's Dimension for himself. Sadly it was working, and fast. The boarders of the two Dimensions grew and shrunk into eachother for a long time before the Light raised it's own army. This did little as the warriors of Light and Darkness were nothing more than truly mindless pawns. And with the Darkness knowing anger and destructive failure. He was able to give his warriors commands that trampled his brothers less knowledgeable warriors. The Light needed a new plan. Someone who would have a mind set, think for themselves, be incredibly powerful, have the ability to lead the masses, and most of all. Be brave in the face of overwhelming odds. And so the first Guardian was created. A being with the physical appearance of a human, but made purely of Light energy. His name was Guardonais.

[pronounciation] Gar doe nay s.

(???) Guardonais was all that, and more. Weilding a two handed sword known as Guardian's Light. And powers such as. Flight, control of the elements espscialy Light, capable of fireing bursts of Light into large beams, and forming giant Light bombs above his head, regeneration, even teleportation. Both short and long range. In no time at all he started pushing back the Dark forces, single handedly. Thats not to say the Light warriors didn't help, but he could easily have done it all himself. However all this came with an unforseen side effect. The Guardian had a large white ring implanted in his chest and stomach area. Mind you the Guardian exists outside of time. In other words. Nither age nor illness will ever take him. Only death in combat can slay him. And with regeneration, among other things. Even that proved hard to do. Not impossible, just improbable. The ring represents NO is the Light energy that dwells within him. It recharges naturaly, regardless of lighting conditions. He is not solar powerd, but it does help to be in the light. Anyway if that ring ever runs out he would die. As in be vaporized upon ending the power in use. Some powers thankfuly cost so little energy, that they recharge faster than they can be used. Such as flight. So Guardonais fought for many long years, and easily earned the trust of the humans. They felt safe protected by the Guardian. And eventualy the boarders of Light and Darkness had reset to their original positions. From here on in the Guardian would only work to keep the balance as is. Only attacking when Darkness struck first. This however served to make the Darkness even angrier. Thus he devised a plan to create his own Guardian. A Dark Guardian. Almost identical to Gardonais in looks, power, speed, strength, and abilities. Guardanros, as he became known. Faced Gardonais in thousands of long and gruling battles.

[pronounciation] Gar dan ros.

Weilding all the same powers as Guardonais, just infused with Darkness. And a two handed sword known as. Eternal Darkness. Destruction and devistation layed waist to most of the worlds. In time all was repaired, but not before many battles between the two Guardians were fought. After 1 million years of Guardonais's life, half of which was spent fighting Guardanros. He decided it was time to end this, and prepared for a final battle. Sending a telepathic message too Guardanros, challenging him to a final battle. The Dark Guardian unwilling to deny such an offer, gladly gave his opponet the oppourtunity to throw his life away. Yet something stirred in his mind. A hint of doubt, a sence of morality. Guardonais felt it too. Perhaps they had come to enjoy their near endless encouters. Perhaps they enjoyed the thrill of the fight. And just maybe, somewhere deep inside, they didn't want it to end. But this battle had to be fought. If Guardonais refused all would be destroyed by the Darkness in due time. If Guardanros refused the Darkness would kill him and forge a new Dark Guardian in his wake. And so the final battle came to be. The two met in Guardonais's home world. Earth. In a wide open field. This is where it would end. Or would it?

(Guardonais) So you came. I was afraid you would chicken out.

(Guardanros) You give yourself too much credit if you think im scarred of you.

(Guardonais) Perhaps. But it dosen't change the fact that it ends here.

(Guardanros) Indeed. But I must first ask you. Do you think the same as I do?

(Guardonais) You mean could things have been diferent? Could we have been friends if you weren't created to kill me?

(Guardanros) Yes.

(Guardonais) I do, but if we were to become friends now. It's likely we would both be branded traitors to our own creator.

(Guardanros) Then for what its worth, i've enjoyed our friendly little rivalry.

(Guardonais) I'd hardly call it friendly. But I too have enjoyed our fights. Now. COME GUARDANROS LET US FINISH THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!

(Guardanros) As you wish!

(Guardonais) FOR THE LIGHT!

(Guardanros) FOR THE DARKNESS!

They rush at faster than light speed towards eachother, and meet sword to sword in a sound breaking clash of steel. Guardonais flies up and readies a Light bomb. Guardanros prepares to intercept it. The bomb is thrown. Guardanros swings verticly, and strikes the bomb. Disapatching it before it explodes. Amid the smoke of the would be explosion, Guardonais charges a Light beam, and fires. Guardanros fails to react in time, and gets struck, tearing his body into many pieces. He quickly regenerates and fires a counter Dark beam at Guardonais. Guardonais dashes to the right, just avoiding the beam, and moves in close for a short ranged Light beam. Guardanros sees this and turns too the left, to redirect his still fireing beam, and hits Guardonais, sending him flying into the city, and through a building. Quickly getting up and teleporting to Guardanros, Guardonais strikes in a flash of Light with his sword. Guardanros senses the attack and teleports behind Guardonais, to attempt the same only this time it hits cutting him in half, and sending him straight into the ground. Guardonais fuses back together, and dashes at Guardanros. Swinging his sword in a circle much like a tornado, once he hits him, the sword strikes thousands of times before finally sending him flying. Neither of them were in pain thus far. Guardanros gets up and heals.

(Guardanros) I see you brought a challenge today. But your going to have to do better than that to beat me.

(Guardonais) So I see. Unfortunatly for you, I have a trick up my sleeve.

(Guardanros) Oh so i'm not the only one who brought a new move to the fight.

(Guardonais) It seems so. I call it the Guardonais beam. For it will go down in history for two reasons. One it will be the beam that kills you. And two it will be the beam that kills me. For in order to use it would cost all of my energy.

(Guardanros) Then I guess mine should be aproprietly named the Guardanros beam. For it does the exact same. Im guessing your's is strongest while the sun is still out. Mine is affected by the moon.

(Guardonais) A good guess. If you wish we can see which is stronger by waiting till the pinicale of day and night. When both the sun and moon are visable.

(Guardanros) I would enjoy that thoroughly.

(Guardonais) Then we wait.

Several hours of absolute scilence pass.

(Guardonais) It would seem that the time has come. Let us see which is stronger.

(Guardanros) Lets.

They fly up to an even hight.

(Guardonais) Guar don ais.

(Guardanros) Guar dan ros.

(Both) BEAM!

The beams fire, and clash. Appearing to be even in power.

(???) So much power was put into these beams, that if either one had any more power in it, it would rip a hole in reality itself. This was made aparrent by reality shifting in a wavy heat like effect all around them. The beams fired for a nonstop total of 10 years before they finaly let go, unable to witstand the clash any longer. The beams had never moved a centimeter the whole time. When it stoped all was scilence. Except for the slow footsteps they took towards eachother. Slowly fading away one particle at a time, the pieces floated away on the breeze. They met in the center of the field and shook hands.

(Guardonais) It's been a pleasure my friend.

(Guardanros) Indeed it has... Friend.

(???) They closed their eyes, and faded away entierly. This was the story of Guardonais and Guardanros. Not all was coverd however. Much happend that I didn't speak of. But that my friends is for another day. I will say this however. Not long after, Guardonais's wife had bore a daughter Known as Amy. Inheriting her father's powers, and some of his knwoledge. She gained the ring and became the second Guardian. This astonished the Light, as even he was not aware his Guardian could have children. This kept the Light from expending much needed energy. So instead of wasting energy to make a new Guardian, he could keep the worlds from falling apart with it. It's a wonder the Darkness never thought to do this. Of course with the new Light Guardian the Darkness made a new Dark Guardian. And so the cycle continued. Ending differently each time. Fast forward millions of years later, we arive at me. I am Tyler. I am the 100th Guardian of Light. My foe is Dan the new Dark Guardian. And this is my story.
