Title: Beginnings © Author: Guardian Julaya-na Quotes of the fan-fic: " Don't go! So be it let it be war upon you both." Bravo monsieur, Phantom of the opera Authors note: I'm tryin some new stuff! Give me some feedback on the new ideas! Locke brought Knuckles to the edge of a Zone " This is Forbidden Zone, my son." Locke looked to Knuckles " Why are we here, Father?" Knuckles sadly " There is a task I must perform, Knuckles! You are NOT to come after me should anything happen for only you can carry on as guardian! That is your responsibility! As for me I answer to the call of our forebears." Locke went into a wall of flame. He landed face first in Haven while nine robed figures stood around him and he looked up sheepishly at them " Locke, welcome to Haven. Take him." One of the robed figures said to two others, who grabbed Locke by the collar and pulled him up and pushing him down the hallway to a small room and shoved him in " You will wait here until you are called for." The shorter of the figures said putting a set of magnetized wrist locks on him roughly. Then they both left." " Like there's anywhere for me to go." Locke said coldly. He was there for what seemed like an eternity two new figures came in " Who are you." He said leaning down, no reply but the one came over and started to play with the wrist cuffs and the other stood behind on watch " What are you doing?" He asked " What's it look like?" A young feminine voice said picking at the blue lock " Almost done." She said then the cuffs short circuited and fell to the floor " Someone's coming!" A male voice whispered "Till we meet again, keep this." The girl said handing him a key card and running out as the boy slammed the door just as another set of figures came into get him " It is time." The voice sounded just like his fathers but that was just too weird. They grabbed him and brought him to another room, but this one was pitch black inside. " Get in!" he hit hard and a door was slammed behind him this time there were no wrist cuffs, for this he was thankful, but still a little annoyed about being locked up " The key card!" he pulled the light blue card out of his pocked and looked around for a slot "Bingo!" just as the card slid through the slot the robed figures returned the room became illuminated " Guardian Locke, before we begin, do you have any questions for us." A voice with glowing pink eyes asked him " Who are you?" Each one of the figures nodded to each other then pulled off the hoods simultaneously but there were still two figures that didn't, one of the two came over to him " I thought you would recognize my voice." The figure sat down next to Locke and pulled off his hood " DAD! It IS you!" Locke smiled as Sabre gave him a hug " Now I think you need to meet someone." the last figure came over and pulled off her hood " So, you remember me now?" she asked " Yes, Julaya-na, I do." Locke gave her a hug and she smiled at him The end
