---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Centuries ago the planet was a barren wasteland, dry desolate, empty. It continued for eons. A dead planet floating in the void. Till finally a strange vessel crash landed on the barren rock. Inside slumbering were beings that were known threw time as the precursors. No they weren't mighty god-like figures…. They were the size of raccoons with orange/ yellow fur… and they were known as Ottsel… they looked like they were created by a rodent orgy… Anyway. Using their divine powers they flooded the planet with a substance called Green Eco. Eco was a liquid variant of the precursor power. This energy was that of healing. And as the green Eco flooded the planet. The hunk of rock in space was suddenly flooded with thousands of varieties of plant life. At once the Precursors went to work building a great civilization for their people. It lasted for centuries. A golden era for all!
The precursor eventually began to create Eco factories and wells to further power their vast array of technology. And soon the world was loaded with Eco. Not just green, But Red which gave strength and raw power, Yellow that gave heat and flame, blue that created electricity as well as boosted speed…. But the mistake was when they created dark Eco…. It possessed the power to corrupt and destroy rather than help anything.
Only A few short years after the dark Eco was created did it begin to spread its taint. The first was when a few animals fell into its dark mess. Spawning forth the Hora-Quan, metallic monsters that were renamed metal-heads, they were warped twisted versions of themselves with a eternal hunger for violence and bloodshed. Eventually the precursors realized what a threat these new beings were and attempted to seal them away. But they failed.
The metal-heads created huge nests, and burrowed deep underground, creating vast lakes of dark Eco from their warped blood… Eventually they had an army that could challenge all, even the precursors. Only one millennia after their creation the metal-heads declared war on their creators, and decimated the army of the precursors. The metal-heads didn't win because of strength, wits, or weapons. They were mindless beasts at the command of their leader. The first metal head… Kor. Kor realized he couldn't destroy the precursors with only simple-minded tricks like sneak attacks, so the cunning beast launched his vast army in thousands of swarms. The assaults were brutal, the destruction absolute, till at last the precursors were at their last resort. They pooled together their Eco, their technology, and the last remnants of their power, and formed the Biju, the tailed beasts….. Each beast was a variation of the original inhabitants of the planet, they were just fueled by all the power the precursors could muster. The first, was the Kyuubi, the nine tailed Fox. The fox was gifted with the power to create and control all Eco and could even merge Eco to create new types. The second Yamata no Orochi the eight headed serpent. The continued down until there were nine. Each with there own powers, form, and abilities…
The war was hell, plain and simple. The great beasts once unleashed decimated both the precursors, and metal-heads. Until both were at the last of their species. Finally the precursors used the last drops of their power to seal away all of them. The biju were sealed, and buried within stasis cells. And hidden across the planet. The metal-heads were locked away in the frozen wastes of the north. While the precursors sealed away all he remaining Eco in huge silos and shut down the remaining Eco factories and froze themselves cryogenically, hopeing against all odds that when they awaken they will be able to fix the problems they caused.
Their plan barely worked.
Thirteen millennia after the precursors were frozen they awoke to find the world repopulated. Not by Metal-heads or the Biju… but by the elven people. They were simple people, they lived in small villages and had even learned to channel and manipulate Eco on a small scale. The precursors watched with great interest as they saw a time rift open. You can imagine their surprise when a "master" of green Eco from the future began to kick start the elven civilization. He taught them improved ways to channel Eco, how to build minor technology, and established the Eco sages. Life was good for ten years until one sage was corrupted, by the same substance that nearly destroyed the world. The Dark Eco sage, Gol, was planning on breaking open the silos of dark Eco hidden around the world, and flood the world in dark Eco. The precursors feared that they would have to take action. But before they could plan what to do. A young boy named Jak and his oddball friend Daxter stumbled upon Gol and his dark Eco infested sister Maya, gathering an army of monsters, And preparing to attack the nearby villages.
They watched as Daxter s knocked into a vat of dark Eco and warped into the most unlikely of beings…. A precursor. But since a precursor hadn't been seen in millennia Daxter only thought he had been cursed into becoming a weird orange rat…
The precursors watched in awe as Jak and Daxter went threw their adventures. As they fought a lurker army, saved the Eco sages and destroyed a precursor battle Mech. It was as if their hopes had been answered. They finally had a way to stop the metal-heads, and if it came to it the abominations known as the Biju.
Every chance they had they continued to give him some small help Until he pulled off a stunt even the precursors couldn't believe. The Sages pooled their Eco powers together and formed pure light Eco, something the precursors hadn't even thought of! And then their savior channeled it threw his body. Allowing his powers to temporarily surpass the precursors.
The little orange Rats were stunned. Especially when He disappeared into the future and out of their notice, only to reappear as the metal-heads broke free of their arctic prisons were once again unleashed upon the world.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They began to watch their little prodigy once more as he fought both the metal-heads and his own people. Forced from his home village into a futuristic hellhole city ironically named "haven". It wasn't even past the first two weeks before Jak let hell loose. They were amazed. In almost every experiment Dark Eco would warp and destroy anything it touched. But in this case it had bonded with his genetics. Making young Jak stronger, faster, and deadlier. The young prodigy had no morals about killing and destroying anything that stood in the way of having his revenge against Baron praxis, the man who was responsible for his new found "Taint". They watched as he slaughtered mass swarms of metal-heads.
Hell the furballs even rewarded him by giving him more dark powers. In retrospect that probably wasn't the smartest thing they ever did. Especially considering that every time he loosed a dark Eco bomb he would pretty much short circuit every piece of precursor Tech. near him. As Jak went threw the course of his adventures this time he ripped the metal-head army a new one and decimated the haven city guards. As well as over threw an power mad Baron, but the best bit was when Jak took on the ancient metal head leader, Kor. One on one. And won. With Kor's defeat the metal-heads retreated from the city. All was safe for Jak.
But it didn't last.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only a month after Jak defeated Kor the metal-heads returned with greater strength. Whole new species were breeding from out of nowhere. And the results were a disaster. Jak was banished from the very city he saved… Soon after he was abandoned deep in the heart of a desert Island with no hope of survival. It was pure luck that a beacon he was handed was found. And him with it. He was brought to the Desert City of Spargus. There he was made into a wastelander. An honorary citizen of the city. Again he felt at home. But soon metal-heads traveled to the desert. And Jak was dragged into the war. This time the leader was not metal-head. His name was Errol he was a rival Eco-bike racer of Jak's, and commander of Baron praxis' city guards. When Jak destroyed the baron he took everything from Errol. And it drove him insane.
Shortly after a "racing accident" (he drove into a bunch of Eco filled barrels) He was restored by baron praxis into a Cyber soldier. From there Errol created a vast army of robotic killing machines and attempted to take over the remains of Haven City. Eventually and by some means that none can figure out, Errol somehow became the next metal-head leader. Soon both armies were pressing against the remains of the Elven City and it looked as though defeat was at hand. Then the daredevil duo of Jak and Daxter showed up practically defining the term "one man army". Soon Jak discovered something far bigger than Errol. The Dark makers, creators of dark Eco…. And The fallen precursors.
The dark makers had traveled threw space searching for their Light –sided brethren. And at long last they were going to slaughter the last of the precursors. But to do so they needed a large distraction. And got it by using Errol and his armies as mere puppets so that they destroy the planet and the last traces of all other Eco but Dark.
It was in the darkest hour as there was no hope left that Jak proved his heroism. And took down the dark maker ship from the inside out.
And thou he managed to escape the ship unharmed the damage inflicted by his actions were catastrophic. When the dark maker ship crash-landed on the Planet It opened the tomb of the Kyuubi, awakening the apocalyptic beast from its slumber. The Kyuubi in its infinite rage absorbed the remains of the dark makers and the dark Eco inside of their Ship Boosting its power beyond all measure. Soon the Kyuubi started to track down its brethren, and destroyed all in its path. The first to be re-awoken by the Kyuubi was the youngest of the Biju. The sand monster Shukaku. While Kyuubi continued to awaken the rest of the Biju, Shukaku waged war on Spargus city until the remaining wastelanders were forced to retreat to haven city.
Each time the elven people attempted to hold off the onslaught, it only ended in a massacre. Their strongest weapons were measly toys to the all-powerful Biju.
Soon Jak himself attempted to take on the beasts. Starting with the Kyuubi. And he failed miserably. His wounds were so severe that He couldn't be healed by any means the elves possessed. So in a last ditch attempt to save their Races once more. Both the precursors and elves Hid blow the earth. But before The elven people could make it underground the sand beast Shukaku attacked slaughtering almost all. In the end only Jak Mar; the hero and wielder of light and dark Eco, Samos the only Green sage in existence, Daxter, Sig the King of Spargus, and Haven city's top engineer, and Samos daughter. Keira. Were the only survivors of the war. As well as three of the precursors.
They once more sat dormant in the protective womb of the earth, while on the surface the Biju raged. The metal-heads were slaughtered after a few centuries and once more retreated into the frozen wastes to slumber once more, and soon the rage of the biju was no more. They grew at peace and again life moved on. A new species of creature. The humans. Grew without knowledge of the precursors, without knowledge of Eco, and they were doomed to repeat history. As the humans grew their bodies adapted to the residual and trace amounts of Eco. Soon humans had a new form of energy called chakra. With chakra Humans began to create new skills. Soon arrogance blinded them and a few villages tempted the wrath of the biju. Soon the Humans regretted their actions as the Biju began to slaughter them. The most terrifying event was when the Kyuubi was awoken by a small group of humans attempting to capture him for their own power. In response the great beast gave chase to them and soon attacking Konohagakure No Sato. The hidden leaf village.
The fight was long but enjoyable for the Kyuubi. The Ninjas from the village were of little threat to him. Or so he thought. The Kyuubi was stunned when he saw a giant toad charge toward him with a blade drawn. In his arrogance the Kyuubi carelessly fought the toad. It was when he saw the blinding flash of chakra, and light Eco did he realise him mistake…. But ten years later he would have his vengence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started like every time before. Unlike most kids his age he was scorned on his birthday. Not praised. Not loved. Not cared for. This was to be Naruto Uzumaki's tenth birthday but still no friends, no family, and no hope. The only thing that gave him a little hope was the fact the third gave him a scroll containing a few jutsu but nothing above genin level. "Why do I even bother anymore?" the fox boy thought. He stared out his window and looked at the village. Everyone was celebrating the death of the Kyuubi. He knew the truth. It wasn't that hard to figure out. I mean his birth on the same day as the Kyuubi's attack, and after finding that no other demon in history had been killed by any human it made sense. Especially after Naruto discovered the seal. What five year old woke up with a tattoo on their gut that just happened to glow with chakra?
Finally it all made sense to him….. The pain, the harsh words. Nothing else could explain it to his young mind…. In Naruto's mind He was the Kyuubi…. No one told him of his "condition". People called him demon the beat him, tortured him…and broke him…. No help nothing to heal his pain. Only loneliness, Pain, and rage. Existed in his life.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At a nearby Bar…
It was the same solemn mood every year. Ninjas, civilians, friends, enemies, lovers, and friends alike. United by one thing and not some sentimental bullshit. They were untied by their hatred of one innocent boy. They were united by their desired to harm a already dying orphan. They were united so they could finally kill the container of the Kyuubi no Yoko… Uzumaki Naruto…
"I say it long past time for the little bastard to be punished for his crimes!" Cried a villager. "He ruined our lives destroyed or families! Why does he still live? Because some senile old fool Believes that a monster like that was sealed away!" Yelled another. Anyone watching the crowd could tell what was on there minds. Murder plain and simple….
At once the drunken friends were chanting for the death of the demon as well. In minutes no less than fifty of Kohona's citizens, some ninja included were marching toward Naruto's house armed with whatever they could find.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With Naruto…
"Hurry up you little monster!" Naruto was currently at a nearby convenience store stocking up on basic needs. After five minutes he left the store flat broke but he had everything he needed for the next week. The walk home easy but when he got home he noticed two things. First was his house was on fire, second that a crowd of villagers was outside it cheering for his death. As quietly as he could he tried to walk away without them noticing. He failed when he walked into a trashcan. At once he took off but was quickly captured by the Ninja. Immediately they stapled him to the ground using five pitchforks. One threw each limb and one threw his waist. He screamed in pain and pleaded with them to stop but not one listened. Threw out the entire night they tortured him. Knives, poisons, burns, acid, anything and everything. The entire time Naruto screamed in absolute pain. At one in the morning they finally decided to stop and the Idiots tried to decide how they would cover up what they did… They were so busy trying to cover up their mess that they didn't notice when his wounds healed shut, or when his fingers grew to claws. They did notice when his body started to glow ethereal red, With a roar Naruto burst up, the Makeshift binds ripping out of the ground. "YOU FOOLS! You sought to kill an innocent boy to kill me, and instead set me free…your reward is…. DEATH…" At once the demon burst more of his corrupt chakra around Naruto's body, Protecting it in a fox shaped barrier of chakra. "EVERYBODY RUN!" A villager screamed. As commanded the villagers panicked and ran. The Half of them never made three steps… "Hone no Saku…" (bone blade barrier)
At once Kyuubi/Naruto's body burst with bone spikes and the hybrid ripped them out of his body revealing them as razor sharp bone swords. With lightning speed the Demon possessed boy launched the blades at the frantic villagers. Each target was dead in seconds. "How did that feel fools?" The few that survived the onslaught Moaned with pain each to close to death to speak. Whistling a tune the demon Hybrid walked off prepared to send more to the slaughter...
five seconds and a well placed body flicker Kyuubi was standing in the middle of kohona's market demonic smile in place. "What are you smiling about you damned little demon?" asked a pink haired woman. After five minutes at least half of Kohona was leveled….
By the Time the A.N.B.U. and the third Hokage arrived there was only one survivor left alive he was lucky he had a bone blade threw his stomach. He would still die nonetheless. "Lord Hokage… I…were… so sorry…." By this time blood was bubbling at the corner of his mouth. "What happened here?" Asked the Third. "We… torture… the demon… we broke it loose…so-so-sorry…." With his words the man died warning his villagers of the immediate threat… The third stood looking at the A.N.B.U. "Find Naruto then report to me do nothing else… MOVE OUT!" Commanded the Hokage. At once there were a chorus of "HAI!" before they took off.
"How could this have happened?" The old Hokage asked to himself.
"It Happened because your people couldn't see the truth…"Growled a dark voice. The third turned to find none other than Kyubi Naruto. "What do you mean?" "Don't worry old fool these people wont stay dead…." The Demon Fox ran threw a chain of handseals then called out
"EIKYU NO UMMEI KUCHIYOSE: EDO TENSEI!"
(Eternal destiny summoning: impure world resurrection.)
At once In the skies above Kohona a huge intricate seal spread threw the air, stopping when it came to be five miles in size. The seal itself was to complex to describe the only real details you could pick out were the kanji for the zodiac animals and the Kanji for Fox in the center. Soon a burst of purple light shot from the seal bathing the city in it. AT once the destruction was repaired the people who were killed by the rampage brought to life once more and fully healed.
"But why would you save those you killed?" Asked the third. "So they can learn from their mistakes. The Damned seal that prevents my revenge is powered by the boy's will. When they killed him they released me. I may have healed him this time. Now you tell those fools that they hurt this boy I will be back! I'm tried of having to save his bratty ass every day of the goddamned week!" Roared the Kyuubi "Thank you for your charity, as descised it may be..." thanked the third. "Don't push me old man or you'll be next on my list!" The fox lord then ran threw another chain of seals. "Kuchiyose no jutsu: Kitsune!" In a puff of smoke a Blood Red Fox the size of a horse with eight black tails appeared "What is it that you need Kyuubi-sama?" It asked "Kyuusune, you have been one of my Most loyal and powerful guards before. Now you will guard this vessel I reside in understand?" The fox bowed saying "HAI!" The fox lord then turned to the Hokage once more "You give them my warning I won't bring back their worthless lives next time…"
The blood red aura of the fox lord faded and Naruto Collapsed to the ground blissfully asleep and unaware of his actions. After a few minutes of the third staring at Naruto in wonder the guardian fox made himself known. " HEY OLD MAN! Take a picture it lasts longer!" I don't think I need to say how the Red fox started laughing after the third fell over himself in shock. Shortly after the third and the fox started arguing the A.N.B.U. finally made an appearance. "Lord Hokage. What happened?" They thin noticed the unconscious Naruto. "Sir should we kill the demon brat?" One of them asked. At once Kyuusune's eyes flashed a dark purple and the foolish A.N.B.U. who opened his mouth suddenly found himself being crushed to a wall by an invisible force. "If you ever Insult Naruto-sama again I will KILL YOU" As if to prove his point the foxes eyes flashed the dark shade again and the pressure an the A.N.B.U. tripled shattering his ribs before dropping him to the ground. At once the A.N.B.U. drew weapons preparing to slay the beast. "ENOUGH!"
Everyone turned to look at the third. "Kyuusune, you will not harm my ninjas, if needed you disable them not kill them!" The enraged Hokage turned to his A.N.B.U. Your job is to protect the people not harm them, now one of you get that crippled disgrace to the hospital and when he wakes tell him he's fired. The rest of you gather Kohona's citizens to the Town Square NOW!"
That night Sarutobi chewed out every last one of the villagers explaining the truth behind Naruto's 'condition'. There was an example made when one man interrupted. The third launched a kunai threw his head with the force of a railgun. Needless to say the villagers paid attention. And by the end of it they had learned the horrors of what they had done….
