Chapter 1

The assembly

It all started long ago when the EON technology was first introduced to the world. Now, many millennia later, the world is divided by way of force fields. Each continent has its own force field to "keep the peace". But the peace is only to keep us on the planet and away from each other. The idea was to make sure that the race had a chance to survive itself. Some cultures are at peace and others never stop fighting. 1 culture knows that the God of the bible is the truth and the life. The bible is the only thing that passes from one area to another. They fend for themselves where there is not yet peace, but there is hope for them.

Now the force fields are 1 of the EON based technological advancements that RAM made up back in around 2035. But that's not the only thing that he made. If you look up EON on the Compaq search engine you'll find out what all he made. He made a scepter, a GEM, the animal type of robot known as EONA, the human type called EONICAP, and some other things. Now after the Blink when this technology went out to the public in 2041 things went crazy. People started to do anything that they ever wanted to do and you know that people are dumb and easily to make more trouble than good. So after the riots and all the crap that happened the EON stuff was confiscated and well you know how things are now. The EON stuff was not used again for thousands of years and was ripped out of all record and a law was enforced to stop stories of EON from passing from generation to generation till all but 1 even knew it ever happened. That's it pretty much except there was an EONA named Zarut that was made before The Great Cover Up. He knew about EON technology needing to be wiped out to keep things in order. So before Zarut got found and killed, or shutdown whatever you want to call it, he put himself on a form of standby to keep his energy readings low. He also hid next to a power plant to keep himself alive and to mask his readings. Zarut left 1 cluster of nanites on to record the events going on so that he would know and be able to reactivate when things have cooled down. 4109 years he waited for things to get calm, but he was in a constant war zone and didn't even know he could get up. Finally with things being as they are today he found out that the EON technology was being used again. He then went out of hiding and found a child to have him as his new pet. Zarut told his new owner the stories he had written about the EON technology. Remembering how it used to be and not knowing how things are Zarut learned from the boy how the world is now ignorant about the full power that EON once possessed.

In the zone where Zarut now lived only 1 of the 20 mega gems had been known about and at times used by the government in power there. Zarut wanted to find the other gems in the world and reunite the scepter. He had more trouble coming for him than he could have predicted. With the help of his owner he managed to get the gem in his first area, but his owner couldn't help him get out of the zone to claim the other gems. To get the first gem Zarut and his owner Timmy looked through the local databases to see if they could find out where the gem was. They didn't find it there. They tried to get information from a local cop. Again the cop had no answers for them. After some more searching they ran into a burglar who had tried to get the gem before. "It's not possible to get that thing. I tried to do it five times and not once did I get within viewing distance of it. You might have a chance with that EONA of yours, but I doubt it." Zarut was glad to hear some good news, but he needed a plan. Now that they knew where it was they needed to get in there and manage to get it out. According to Zarut' records the way in there was improvised, but the way out was not so easy. An alarm was triggered and Timmy was captured. With out a real reason to hold Timmy he was released shortly after Zarut escaped with a copy of the gem.

Zarut needed to get out of the zone alone. He tried twice and failed. Zarut then looked to the gem for an answer and found the way the get from one zone to another. "Bibles" Zarut realized that as the bibles where being transferred from one zone to another he could send some if not all of himself through with them. Now by the time the government of the zone found out about Zarut he had left the zone free and clear. But now that he got out of that zone and into another the bible transfers stopped. Luckily the zone he had entered had the Data gem in it. Now nothing can stop him from leaving and moving to another zone. A manhunt had started in Zarut' first zone and a party were given power to move between the zones. This meant that Zarut would have to work quickly in order to get all the gems before someone caught him. Now Zarut has the Data, Fire, and Wind gems and has made a permanent home for himself in the Ocean. He stayed there for 5 years waiting once more for things to cool off, but they didn't. Zarut knew he had to turn himself in, but not to turn in all of himself. Using the Data gem he made a copy of his program with some alterations in it. The copy thought it was the original Zarut and that he only stole the copy of the fire and wind gems. With the cops off his trail he could now come and go as he pleased. And he did so until all but 3 of the gems were found and copied. He has the Wind, Water, Ice, Oil, Fire, Data, Explosive, Rocket, Energy, Laser, and Faze gems. Only the only gems left where the Clone, Teleport, and Time gems as well as the other four parts of the scepter.

RAM was still working in his lab when Zarut tried to get the Clone gem. Zarut new that RAM was the scientist that made the EON technology possible, but what Zarut didn't know was that RAM had become an EONicAP himself. RAM felt Zarut coming as soon as he entered the lab. RAM looked like he didn't know Zarut was Fazed and moving in the floor, but right before Zarut could get to the Clone gem RAM said.

RAM: And what is a pet doing in my lab? Your name is Zarut right, I've heard of you, but I never thought you would get this far.

Zarut: How did you...

RAM: I am an EONicAM, the male and first of my own species. How is it that you never knew that I was like you?

Writer Anthony: Zarut was in awe at RAM's poise. He expected RAM to be defensive, but here he is calm.

Zarut: Why don't you stop me or protect your gem? Why are you so calm?

RAM: I am calm because that is not the real Clone gem.

Writer Anthony: RAM opens up his chest to reveal the whole scepter hidden in his chest cavity.

RAM: Why do you want my scepters parts, Zarut? Do you need them; no you want to give them away like I did. You remember that day well don't you, the day that I took my powers from the world so that they could be forgotten?

Zarut: You should never have let them be forgotten. There must have been another way. Why didn't you find another way?

RAM: Many lives have been lost to my foolish idea of having all the peoples of the world know and use the scepter.

Zarut: And many of my friends died because you had them removed from the world!

RAM: No Zarut, your friends are not dead. You must understand that what I did was not destroy all EON technology in the world, but to make them forget that it ever was. You must think like the rest of the world, don't you? There is a 21st and 22nd zone. Zone 22 is for humans and EONic beings to live together. Zone 21 is my safe house. It is where I have kept most of my technology safe from anyone, even myself.

Zarut: What do you mean?

RAM: I am not worthy to hold the scepter. I don't even have the codes. But you, you could get them for me.

Zarut: Why don't you have the codes? What happened over those 4125 years?

RAM: Has it been that long? My god how things have rotted even more than I expected they would. I used EON to try and make the world better, but I messed up. I made an army and used it to take out the known enemies of freedom and in the process I killed over 3 times the world's population back then.

Zarut: How did you ever kill that many people?

RAM: I made my army take people and force them to fight in a game I made, GEM wars. The game lasted for 3 thousand years until the world had consumed itself. I made that happen and I can never get those codes again. If I do I might repeat my mistake.

Zarut: But isn't EON still used?

RAM: Not like it once was. No, I will never be able to use it again. I am nearly 5000 years old. I can't take another mistake.

Zarut: If you think that your past is too bad that you can't move forward then you need to give me that scepter.

RAM: I can't give you the scepter. How do I know that you wouldn't use it to dominate the world?

Zarut: Because I don't care about the world like others do. The people here are dying anyhow. If I had this technology I would keep people in a mind battle in which they cannot die or escape.

RAM: That's what I did and it failed. What makes you think it will work this time?

Zarut: It is not the same thing as your GEM wars. You had them battle with real powers. I will have them come and go from the war zone as they please, but they will still be in the simulation.

RAM: Wait, you want people to live in a simulation? How would they learn the truth about how to live their lives?

Zarut: I would give them a world just like this one. I would make this world into a paradise. I could give this world a chance to live without having to harm the planet.

RAM: Are you telling the truth? How can I know that you are telling the truth?

Zarut: You can search my database for encrypted files or stories to prove I'm tell the truth.

RAM: I already did that and came up with nothing. Your intentions are pure and your ideas might work, but what if you fail?

Zarut: If I fail RAM then I will try another idea or a new spin on this one. I can't be certain that I will succeed, but I will not stop trying. I will not give up because of 1 or more times failed. Now are you giving me the scepter or do I need to challenge you for it?

RAM: Listen Zarut, I never intended to keep it from you. I was waiting for you to give me the new idea. I do accept your challenge and we will fight to the end of our points. You do have a simulation ready don't you?

Zarut: I thought you'd never ask.

Writer Anthony: RAM and Zarut went into the game with 20'000 points to start with and a planet for each of them. RAM started his war with 4 parts all at once. Part 1 is a generator growing in power and size. Part 2 is an army of gems waiting for the command. Part 3 is a fortress built to keep all of the powers at RAM's will at all time. The last part was Professor RAM, himself in a robot that held 15'000 points of his total power. Zarut however, had a one piece giant of a robot with each gem holding each power. He was ready for this his whole existence.

Zarut: RAM, I am ready for you!

RAM: Zarut, you think you can beat the inventor of EON at his own game? You must have trained for this day, but you might not win.

Zarut: I have already won. This is my world and here you are at my mercy.

RAM: I should have just given you the scepter.

Zarut: It makes no difference now. You will face me on my terms, but in the end I will have already taken the scepter as you played. Let's fight!

RAM: You're wrong about taking the scepter, Zarut. I am not trapped in your game. I hacked into your database as you already know and I took your escape key out of your programming.

Zarut: What you have failed to notice RAM is that I have multiple systems under my control. The scepter was taken from you the moment you entered the game.

RAM: So you lied to me about your motives? You never did seem to be all there.

Zarut: Not true, I will use it as I said, but I needed to know that I would get it no matter what.

RAM: Then why are we fighting? Why are we still in here?

Zarut: Let me tell you something professor. I wanted to fight you like this ever since I heard of you. I want to know that you are still as you where over 5000 years ago.

RAM: I will show you how good I'm Zarut.

Writer Anthony: As they talked RAM was spreading his army over his world and giving them power to grow and give him backup. Zarut had not even moved, but he was spreading through his world underground. Zarut had been turning his would into one planet sized robot that he would reveal when RAM was getting weak and thin. RAM's small attacks in comparison to Zarut's size only gave Zarut a tickle. When RAM saw that his first strikes had no affect he built more generators and pulled in all or their power in order to fuel his oversized energy cannon. With just one shot from the cannon Zarut was obliterated, but he was not just the gem on the surface. A new gem came form the back of Zarut's planet with wires coming from its back. Then the gem changed its form into plasma cannon. RAM put up his shield in time, but the blast had the same frequency of RAM shield and went through it taking out one of RAM's generators. RAM rebuilt and asked himself how the gem was able to fire that blast after he had killed Zarut. And then he knew that Zarut was the planet. RAM then started to turn his planet into a big robot, but before he could do it Zarut fired his cannon again. This time the blast form Zarut's cannon took out a chunk of RAM's planet. Again RAM tried to rebuild, but he also fired a shot of his own. RAM's shot was not energy, but instead he fired a virus to Zarut. I no time Zarut had beaten the virus and RAM had rebuilt his planet.

Zarut is now ready to show RAM his true form. Zarut's planet opened up to become a Star Station Bot. RAM was so stunned to see the huge robot about to attack him that he activated a portal grid around his planet. Zarut didn't know how to beat a portal field because he never got that gem, but he did know how to copy himself. Zarut budded off over a million copies of him self and grew them all to be bigger than he was.

RAM was growing his planet, but Zarut had already made himself billions of times larger than he used to be. Now Zarut is a Univereon and is about to fire on RAM. RAM lowers his shield not knowing how big Zarut is now. But as soon as RAM found out he reactivated he portal shield and every other shield he could think of. Just then Zarut attacked with a massive ice attack coupled with a zero point energy field to keep it from going into the portal. Instead he formed the ice into a huge javelin and slowly sent it into the portal. Zarut then sent many probes along the javelin to see if he could survive if he went in there himself. Zarut probes showed him that through the portal there was nothing, so he attempted to fill it with another of himself. After many tries Zarut blew up all that he put into the portal and sure enough that destroyed the portal field. In that instance RAM shot lava and heavy gravity at Zarut. However Zarut had known how to harness lava and used it to gain power. Zarut then grabbed RAM's planet with his hands and burned it with lava. RAM wasn't ready for that so he got burnt pretty badly. The only thing left for Zarut to do now was find RAM's processor and trap him in a game.

Zarut: That was not easy, but it didn't take long. See you later Professor RAM.

RAM: You can't leave me here. We weren't playing for keeps.

Zarut: I know. It was just too hard not to trap you in a game in this game. You're freed.

Writer: Zarut set RAM free as he said he would and took the scepter. I wish I didn't have to tell the short version of Zarut's story, but that was most of it. Zarut used the scepter wisely and the world fell again into another war anyway.

That's the beginning of Zarut's story.
