The Sins Of The Fathers
a Jaye and the Wheeled Warriors fan fiction
This is my very first attempt into writing a J&WW fan fiction, so please be gentle... Tear my head from my body while I am still breathing without any sudation };)
I used information found on The Root and on Cindy's "Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors" Page
The Sins Of The Fathers
Part 1.1 | The Intruder
Where There Is Light, There Is Shadow Where There Is No More Light, There Is No More Shadow Only Darkness Remains
And So It Begins
First, there is darkness everywhere and there is silence, a peaceful and tranquil silence that is surrounding and embracing everything.
Then a flash of white blinding light forces the darkness disappear for a brief moment and then the darkness reappears.
Suddenly a computerized voice is shattering the silence saying repeatedly, "Warning, Intruder Alert. Warning, Intruder Alert. Warning, Intruder Alert"
The silence returns for a brief moment and the computerized voice saying, "Intruder, You Have Thirty Seconds to Vacate Spacecraft before I Initialise Autodestruct Sequence" shatter it.
The silence returns and is holding for 30 seconds until the computerized voice shatters the silence by saying, "Intruder, You Have Been Warned. I Have Initialised Autodestruct Sequence. Autodestruct of Spacecraft Follows in Ten Seconds; Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Autodestruct Sequence Has Been Override by External and Therefore Alien Computer. I Am Receiving Data from Extern And Therefore Alien Computer. One Moment Please, I Am Processing The Received Data"
The silence returns for another brief moment and then it shatters again by the computerized voice saying, "Welcome Aboard, Jal Gorda. I Am Online and Waiting for Your Instructions. I Am Receiving Your Instructions from External and Therefore Alien Computer. I Am Adapting the Piloting Chair so It Can Handle Your Extended Weight, Size and Body Mass without Any Trouble. I Am Rotating the Piloting Chair With One Hundred and Eighty Degrees. I Activate the Air-Condition System To Increase The Humidity Of The Air With Twenty-five Percent. The Environmental Scanner Informs Me that You Are Exhaling Oxygen Instead Of Carbon-Dioxide. Are You Well? You Nod; I Take That As A Yes. I Will Make No Further Enquiries and I Resume To Standby Mode"
The soft humming noise that the activated air-condition system of the spacecraft is producing prevents the silence from returning.
Outside the spacecraft, the silence is still peaceful and tranquil.
One hour is passing until behind the spacecraft a computerized voice is shattering the silence by saying repeatedly, "Voice Print Required. Voice Print Required. Voice Print Required"
A voice of an adult male humanoid answers, "I am Jal Gorda, ally of The Lighting League" The computerized voice says, "One Moment Please, I Am Analysing Your Voice Print"
The silence returns for a brief moment and then it shatters by the computerized voice saying, "Your Voice Print Match One Hundred Present with the Voice Print of My Owner. Access Granted"
Before the silence gets the change of returning, the sound of a sliding lock gate sliding open prevents it for doing so.
The soft humming noises from the air-condition system that is escaping is holding the silence back while Jal Gorda is entering his spacecraft.
After Jal has entered the spacecraft, the sliding lock gate slides closed behind him and outside the silence is returning to be peaceful and tranquil again once more.
"Welcome Aboard, Jal Gorda", says the computerized voice, "I Am Online and Waiting for Your Instructions. But This Doesn't Compute."
Jal asks, "Computer, why is the air-condition system running and hmm, what doesn't compute?"
The computerized voice answers, "According To My Memory Files You Have Already Boarded Spacecraft Sixty-Three Minutes Ago and that You Have Instructed Me to Turn on the Air-Condition System to Increase the Humidity of the Air with Twenty-Five Percent"
Jal speaks annoyed, "Computer, you are making absolutely no sense. I hear, smell and feel that I am alone in here. My senses are working in perfect condition, so you must be defective"
The computerized voice replies, "According To My Sensors You Are Also Sitting on Your Piloting Chair with the Backside Turned towards the Flight Control Desk. That You Choose Not To Believe Me, That Is Your Malfunction. You Have To Make Usage of Your Own Optic Sensors to Determinate That I Am Defective or Not"
"I will", says Jal pissed and commands, "Computer, illuminate the interior of spacecraft with medium density"
Soft light, that is now emitting from the halogen spots embedded in the ceiling of the spacecraft, is forcing the darkness to disappear. Jal is standing still for a moment in the cargo room of his spacecraft, giving his eyes time to adjust to the light and then he walks to the closed sliding lock gate that prevents intruders to access the cockpit. Jail stares to the optic sensor embedded in the sliding lock gate.
The computerized voice says, "I Am Scanning the Retinal of Your Right Eye. I Am Scanning The Retinal Of Your Left Eye. One Moment Please, I Am Analysing Your Retinal Prints" and after being silent for a moment it continues, "Your Retinal Prints Match One Hundred Present with the Retinal Prints of My Owner. Access Granted"
The sliding lock gate slides open.
To his horror, Jal sees a Monster Mind in humanoid form with orange catlike eyes, who resembles almost as Saw Boss, sitting on the piloting chair. The Monster Mind does not wear a cape but large black shoulder protection pads instead; he wears black arm and leg guards; his chest is marked with two pointed orange stripes with the points pointing upwards; the segments of the gigantic mushroom on the top of his head is coloured blue instead of green. The piloting chair is adapted to handle the size, weight and body mass of the Monster Mind perfectly.
The Monster Mind is staring amused at Jal who is shocked to see him, a Monster Mind that not only was able to bypass the security system of Jal's spacecraft but also is able to fool Jal senses by using an invisible dampening field that surrounds him. The Monster Mind snaps the fingers of his right hand and the dampening field is gone.
Jal's mind works in seconds, he immediately decides that by an encounter with a Monster Mind he should shoot first and asks questions later. He steps in the cockpit, grabs with his right hand his dagger that he wears on the left side of his belt and throws it at the Monster Mind. To his amazement his dagger is freezing in mid air, half a meter before reaching the targets brain, then it is slowly changing it's direction pointing to the wall at Jal's right and then it resumes it's flight hitting the wall.
Jal stares confused at the Monster Mind and is says, "You could have redirected my dagger towards me"
The Monster Mind answers with an echoing voice that almost sounded like Saw Boss, "If your destruction is my purpose of being here".
The Monster Mind examines the perplexed Jal for a moment and continues, "So, you are the famous Jal Gorda the humanoid mammal, who has the annoying habit to be the spy of The Lightning League, gifted with outstanding predatorily senses, instincts and reflexes, fighting and acrobatic skills. Hmm, your half- mask that you are wearing over your eyes, as a disguise it does not conceal your jackal features very well. But tell me, what are you senses telling about me?"
Jal who is equipped with an excellent sense of hearing, senses that the Monster Mind has spoken with mixed feelings for him, feelings of disgust mixed with admiration and that puzzles him; a Monster Mind that is admiring him, a mammal?
Jal answers, "My senses are telling me that you are alone, unarmed but not defenceless and that your are here without hostile intentions. I almost feel sorry that I tried to destroy you first", he grins like a jackal exposing his razor sharp teeth, "almost, because I will never be able to forget and forgive that you Monster Minds have destroyed my village and my family. I should have died besides them, but then you Monster Minds have made the mistake to let me life to become a slave. And since the time that Audric has rescued me from a live of slavery I have sworn to make you Monster Minds pay" and he points with his right index finger at his dagger that is stuck in the wall and asks, "but how did you do that? By my knowledge Monster Minds doesn't posses psychokinetic powers"
The Monster Mind asks politely, "Please, allow me to introduce myself first"
Jal examines in his turn the Monster Mind and to his astonishment, he recognizes him. He says, "I know who you are, according the information that I have about you, you are Saw Trooper Commander. But I do not understand this, according my sources Saw Boss has eliminated you a long time ago when you became too ambitious for your own good"
The Monster Mind with his identity revealed by Jal Gorda as Saw Trooper Commander explains with an expressionless face, "That is what Saw Boss wanted them to believe. The truth is a Monster Mind cannot harm a fellow Monster Mind physically; it is in our programming. The only harm that Saw Boss can inflict on my fellow Monster Minds and me is verbal abuse. Saw Boss does not even mind that I am over ambitious. He is encouraging underling rivalries between us Monster Minds because it is keeping him on his guard"
Jal, who is now totally confused asks, "But why that deception behind your disappearance?"
Saw Trooper Commander silences for a moment and answers, "My likeness to Saw Boss is not accidental"
Jal senses an eerie feeling that is crawling over his spine and asks, "What do you mean by not accidental?"
Saw Trooper Commander silences for another moment and answers, "I am the next and therefore the advanced version of Saw Boss; I am Saw Boss two point zero"

The Sins Of The Fathers
Part 1.2 | The Heir
Jal stares horrified to Saw Trooper Commander who has revealed himself as Saw Boss 2.0 and while he is asking, "you are his son?" he is folding his right arm slowly at his back towards his belt.
While Saw Boss 2.0 is standing up and is declaring, "And the heir to his throne" Jal's right hand is reaching for a little flask with a cork stop he is hiding in his belt and grabs it. The little flask is containing toxic nerve gas only lethal to sentient plants. Because it is also lethal to the plant child Flora, Jal never was able to use it.
Jal thinks, "I only have to remove the cork from the flask and he will be dead in a instant. I will do the universe a great favour by destroying him but why are my instincts telling me that I am about to make a grave mistake? Hmm perhaps it is wise to wait, and to find out first what he wants from me", he releases the flask to let it slip back inside his belt. He relaxes and folds his arms together at his chest.
Jal suddenly understood the reason of the deception behind the disappearance of Saw Trooper Commander. Saw Boss has made many enemies and is making even more enemies during his conquest into invading and enslaving worlds. Saw Boss 2.0 short appearance, as Saw Trooper Commander was his field training. His real purpose is to replace Saw Boss when he dies in action or by 'accident'
Jal asks, "How is that possible? According the information I have from Audric there were no female Monster Minds created by The Black Light"
Saw Boss 2.0 answers with a grim on his face, "Sadly no, and it frightens me. Saw Boss has access to Audric's advanced scientific instruments and technology in Audric's former Laboratory that is now our Headquarter and he has made usage of it to create me from his own genetic material"
Jal agrees, "He used some of that technology to create Monster Mind clones from Audric and his son Jayce" and he asks curiously, "Why does it frighten you that there are no female Monster Minds?"
Saw Boss 2.0 hesitates for a moment before he answers with an even more grimmer expression on his face, "It indicates that we The Monster Minds, are created sourly for one purpose and one purpose only; the purpose to enslave worlds instead of colonising them. I suspect that when we succeed in our quest and we have enslaved the whole universe, we have outlived our usefulness to The Black Light. It does not matter if we win or loose this war; we are doomed anyway. No matter what the costs can be; we must be stopped before it is too late, even if it leads to our own destruction"
Jal stares baffled at Saw Boss 2.0 and sneers, "That is the last thing I expected to hear from a Monster Mind to say"
Saw Boss 2.0 stares annoyed at Jal, he replies, "Do you really. The Black Light is The Mother but The Father is Audric, we are supposed to be the plants that feeds" and he stares with disgust at his two humanoid hands, "not the plants that destroys"
Jal is bewildered when he realizes that Saw Boss 2.0 is a Monster Mind who is ashamed to be a Monster Mind, he thinks, "what will his fate be when Saw Boss finds out that he has screwed up big time when he created him" and asks, "what do you want from me?"
Saw Boss 2.0 silences for a moment and says, "Because a Monster Mind is programmed not to harm a fellow Monster Mind physically, there is very little I can do to stop Saw Boss by myself, but I can weaken him by leaking information."
Jal stares with disbelief at Saw Boss 2.0 and asks, "You want to be my informer?"
Saw Boss 2.0 answers with determination, "Yes, as Saw Bosses trustee and protégé I am constant aware of the schemes, the strategies he is planning to implement even before he designs them; I have therefore access to accurate and up to date information"
Jal hesitates for a moment and speaks to his own amazement with a hint of concern in his voice, "you must realize that any information you pass to me can lead to the reunion of Audric and his son Jayce. It will also lead to the union of the two halves of The Root with as end result the destruction of all the Monster Minds, including you"
Saw Boss 2.0 narrows his eyes and replies, "I will leak information for a price"
Jal is cursing in his mind when he thinks, "Damned, I knew that it was to good to be true, there is a catch behind it. You never ever can rely on a Monster Mind" and asks, "a price?"
Saw Boss 2.0 answers with anticipation, "You have taught Jayce the son of Audric advanced fighting techniques, and you have taught him very well. The boy never seizes to amaze me. I want you to do the same for me, be my teacher and I will be your informer in return"
The idea of a Monster Mind becoming his student sounds too preposterous for Jal Gorda to even consider it, but he is curious behind the reason of the proposal and he asks, "Why do you want me to be your teacher, me a mammal?"
Saw Boss 2.0 explains with an expressionless face, "Despite the fact that you are a smelly hairy mammal, you are also a expert into man-to-man combat. As the heir to Saw Bosses throne, I have the right to try to dethrone him by challenging him into man-to-man combat and the right to claim his throne to become mine when he looses. Our disability not to harm each other does not conclude that we do not fight each other. I have challenged him countless times into combat and have lost all the times. So long he wears The Cape of The Ruler that enhances his strength, he is physically superior to me. However, if you teach me advanced man-to-man fighting techniques I will be able to use his own strength as a weapon against him. When I succeed in defeating him and I become the new ruler of the Monster Mind Empire, I am willing to start negotiations with The Lightning League. I may have lost the desire to invade and enslave worlds but I don't have lost the desire to keep the Monster Minds Empire and therefore our species in existence"
Jal senses that Saw Boss 2.0 has spoken again with mixed feelings for him, feelings of admiration mixed with compassion instead of disgust. Jal eyes widened for a moment when he realizes that he is influencing Saw Boss 2.0 to be more tolerant towards humanoid mammals, just by reasoning with him instead of fighting him. Suddenly the idea of Saw Boss 2.0 to become Jal Gorda's student sounds less preposterous for him to consider it. As his teacher, he can influence him more and with his guidance, Saw Boss 2.0 could turn out to be a very fair ruler, who is capable to restore the stability of the universe.
Still someone must pay for the destruction of Jal Gorda's village and family. Jal answers, "I consider your proposal, but" and asks grinning like a jackal exposing his razor sharp teeth, "what about Saw Boss?"
Saw Boss 2.0 answers with a grim on his face, "After I have defeated Saw Boss, I deliver him to you, so you can deal with him at your own discretion"
Jal smiles and thinks, "YES, I always have wondered how a Monster Mind tastes like, it would be a pleasure to eat Saw Boss alive for what he has done. I can sustain myself with what will be left of him for weeks perhaps longer" but then he sighs and thinks, "NO, it is wrong to be his judge, jury and executioner. I will turn out to be just as worse as he is"
Jal answers in his turn with determination, "I accept your proposal, but after you have defeated Saw Boss you must hand him over to The Lightning League instead. They probably know better how to deal with him than me"
Saw Boss 2.0 speaks delighted, "That is a very wise decision. And as it happens I have valuable information for you, it is The Answer"
Jal stares confused to Saw Boss 2.0 and asks, "What do you mean by The Answer?"
Saw Boss 2.0 speaks with an expressionless face, "The answer to the question that everyone who is enslaved, mutilated, subdued, tortured or victimised by The Monster Minds is asking. The answer to the question that everyone is dying, escaping, fleeing, hiding, running or is suffering from The Monster Minds is asking. The answer to the question everyone who is battling, fighting or resisting The Monster Minds is asking. The answer to the question everyone who has joined with, who is fighting besides or who is working for The Monster Minds is asking. The answer that can only be given by a Monster Mind". He hesitates for a moment, he narrows his eyes and continues, "Ask me the question Jal Gorda, and I will give you the answer"
Suddenly Jal Gorda stares with terrible anger at Saw Boss 2.0, he grins as a jackal exposing his razor sharp teeth, he is balling his fists, and he growls his question word for word, "WHAT... IS... THE... BLACK... LIGHT?"
