A new journey awaits!

Exactly ten years ago from this day, a final battle between the forces of good and evil ended the great war that lasted for one thousand years.  It was fought in the past, present and future. The fate of the earth was decided by our hero Jack when he stuck the final blow against the evil incarnation of HATRED named Haku’s essence. The victory came with a heavy price. Due to a time shift anomaly, Jack lost the love of his life. When he stuck down HATRED’s incarnation, he doomed their love and she vanished from the timeline of existence. And now the legendary war between Love and HATE will decide the fate of all existence begins… 

After 10 years after the day she vanished from my life.  There’s a void in my life that cannot be filled by anything, other than Alice. No matter how much time has passed, I have not changed. My memories of her are forever bonded to my soul. The time and space we shared was meant to be much more than this. Now, she is but a ghost of my memories of time when Haku’s essence existed. The day I killed him, I doomed her. She was his daughter from the future and without his existence in the past she could not exist. If only there were another way. Then ten years later on the very day she vanished, my father finally decides to ask me this question, Is she the one? Do you still remember that which never existed? Do you remember the love of your life? And I replied Yes.

Then he told me the truth about mom and me and how we had died one day. He lived 10 lonely years without his LOVE. Ten years where he woke up not wanting to wake up. When we died on that day, he died as well. The pain was unbearable, life without LOVE, he lived a regretful life and not the future that should have been.

I was ten. (flash back to Jack’s father walking outside the horse carriage, and when he kills the thieves as they were attacked. An altered past.) Instead of the king saving us. During the King’s fight with the robbers, Jack and his mother were ambushed and murdered.

We were on the way to deliver food for a town struck by an earthquake. When arrived at the town, we were ambush. Dad was adamant about defending the food for the needy people of the town. We died by the hand of some thieves (Haku’s essence’s men that survived the first attack on the city) as father was fighting. The thieves knew who we were, and they took our lives for food.

Father said, "I was king then, and yet I could not save her or you. I was haunted by the ghost of your memories. You returned every night in my nightmares reminding me not to forget. It felt like some evil force had stolen our LOVE and altered the present reality.

Something happened in reality’s timeline that change how the sequence of major events would unfold. History was changed by a butterfly effect created by Haku’s essence from the future. I vowed to save your souls.

To do this, father must find a way to save them without breaking the laws of the Gods. You cannot bring the dead back to the living. And so, he asked the gods to create time travel.

If he could go back to the moment Jack and his mother were about to be murdered, he would save them. And they would never had died. If he only could go back in time. They granted him his wish. The god realizes that time has been altered and sends Jack’s dad back into the past to undo the evil that is Haku’s essence.

Flashback…

Jack’s dad is transported back to the past and a timeportal opens and Jack’s dad magically appears into the thin air and saves them.

Father says, I save your mother and you that day. You can do the same for Alice.

But know this. The journey will be hard. When you reach the gates of heaven. You must be deemed worthy to the gods. They will test you and if you pass, you will be granted access to the pass. Only then, can you save Alice.

A tear of hope sheds from his eyes, the look of determination and salivation appears on Jack’s face. As he says, "I will do anything and everything to be with her again.

Jack new quest begins. First he must collect three magical trinkets, the soul amber, the time emerald and the space diamond. There are three magical stones Jack lost in the future but still exist in the past. He must reach the top of a mountain. It is the same mountain he failed to pass in the future as he journeys with three monks and loses to snow beast. If he can reach the top of the mountain of his own merit, It will open the path to the heavens.

(Can only be animated) His adventure begins as he starts collecting the stones and prepares for the journey to reach the mountain top. He had failed in the future but now, in the past he takes his experiences from the future and barely manages to collect all three stones. He defeats the snow beast and meets the three monks from the future. They say to him, So you finally made it.

Jack realizes time and space is different here, and the monks have been waiting for him here a thousand years in the past. The mountain is so high it peaks past Earth’s atmosphere and into a rings of tiny island. Jack hips n hops across a field of orbiting islands like the rings of Saturn. At the end of the orbiting island lies heaven’s gate. There, the three monks reveal their true identities. They removed the robs and Soul, Time and Space appear. We been watching you samurai.

Flash backs…

Jack’s father meets the gods for the first time.

At portal from another universe opens. The goddess LOVE is being chased by Haku’s essence. And the three gods reach HaKu essence where they battle. After defeating HaKu essence, they meet with LOVE. 

Brothers, So you are the goddess LOVE, mom always talks about you, and it’s an honor to finally meet you.

LOVE, you must return to HATE’s universe and save her. I can see her now and she is in pain. Parts of her are being torn away from her. It’s HATRED. Somehow, he’s sealing parts of her away and taking her powers. You must save her now.

The look at each other, There is no time now. HaKu essence is about resurrect with the rebirth spell. We must finish him then, one final time.

LOVE If you don’t leave now. HATE will fall into HATRED hands. She needs your help please go now. I beg of you

Brothers, Sorry my goddess, we can’t allow such evil to exist in this universe. We cannot protect you if we are fighting in HATE’s universe. It is not possible to comply with your wishes. At your current state Haku’s essence will consume you if he touches you. We cannot permit that from happening

LOVE, "There is a way to save HATE and protect myself. I will choose a savior to wield my powers. But in my current state none can touch me. I ask that you remove my soul from my body. My body can destroy HaKu essence, my soul will return to the sea of souls. Where I will be safe from Haku’s essence until I am reborn again when my soul remerges with my body.

I ask that you shape my body into a weapon so my chosen savior can use it to cut Haku’s essence. Currently in this universe there are no weapons that can harm him. My savior will protect this realm. You must save my sister."

Brother, We regretfully grant your wish. LOVE chooses her savior when she touches Jack’s father. The god begin to form LOVE’s body into the sword which Jack’s dad can hold. The three demigods removes her body from her soul separating her divine power from body. Her soul returns to the sea of souls and a magical katana is created from her body.

Flash back to now…

Jack finally steps into the realm of gods. The brother speak, "We have been waiting for you great warrior. Like your father, destiny has chosen you as the champion of this universe. Where your father has failed, you will succeed. There is no need to ask us for anything, we know what you seek.

You must prove yourself to be worthiness to us, and only then will your wish be granted. Now shall we play a game of tag. If you are able to tag anyone of us we will grant your wish. Before we begin, I ask you this.. Is your LOVE strong enough to endure THE END."

The game of tag begins and a year has passed but in this realm no time has passed, Jack is nowhere close to touching any of the gods. They start telling Jack about their universe while they secretly train Jack’s to obtain new godly powers.

Soul speaks, "I could remember being attacked by HATRED, we had our cores torn from our chest. And I remember my brother and I merging our soul together. And then, I can’t remember anything from that point in time.

I have no memory of what happened next until we crossed into LOVE’s universe from the GATE. Before that, it felt like I stopped existing. Were we dead? Did I lose my mind or was I another person. (Omega). The details are at best fuzzy and still unclear to me to this day.

When we emerged from the other side of the GATE and I started remembering again. It felt like I awoke from death or something similar to that experience. That’s when we meet your father. "

The three gods started to explain the current predicament their are in and the previous events that lead to the final crisis in their universe. If HATRED defeats HATE. It would only be a matter of time before HATRED crosses into LOVE’s universe and the same dreaded fate would be fall onto LOVE. And
