Jason then continued, “…Son, it is time for this building
to come crashing down to the ground. I will save you only this once. Next time,
it will be your life that I will be taking away from you. Become the light once
again son. I miss the way you were when you had a smile on your face and the
fire of life in your heart.”
Jason took his son out of the building, and then, he hit
the button and triggered the charges. A huge and massive plume of fire and ash
spewed up and into the air. Jason saw the building that held the most evil
being in the world come crashing to the ground. A final pillar of black ash
plumed from the destruction and all the evil that was the Omega Organization
was gone.
Jason, looked by his side where his son was just moment
before. He saw the footprints in the dirt, and Jack was gone from the scene. As
he left, his son walked back up to where they stood next to each other and
gazed upon the hill where one of the most highly secretive and evil
organization once stood. As he smiled, he said to himself, “Way to go dad. You
got me on the run.”
Jack walked away from the grounds where the Omega
Organization once stood. He fell off the edge of the earth chunk. He jumped
into the water and swam to a place that he only heard about from his father,
Atlantis. As he hit the air pocket that surrounded the ancient wonder and city,
he fell onto solid ground and could breathe. He stood up and caught his breath
before walking to the massive temple in the distance. Upon arriving, he
stumbled into a conversation…
“Why is this happening, John?” an unknown man’s voice
asked Jack’s grandfather.
“Well, Eric, somehow the future that was to be got
changed,” answered John.
“That Book of Destiny still lies within your son’s, Jason’s,
confounded head. He still has the book in his possession. It is currently safe
from the evil named James. He saved his three brothers using the abilities that
were foretold in the book itself, and he is currently saving the world from the
Omega Organization,” Eric told John.
Jack, finally got the courage, and poked his head up to
say, “My father, Jason, just destroyed the Omega Order and Omega Organization.
He and the Alpha Army destroyed the organization and it’s underground. He has
yet to kill me and my great grandfather, James. I know that we can live
forever, but your father, my father’s grandfather, and my great grandfather can
no longer live forever. He is on his last and final life. Soon, the world will
be set back in motion. Hello, grandfather, John.”
“Jack, what the hell are you here for? Only the three
heads of the three families can be here. This is a very sacred place to be in.”
“My father told me
of this place once in a bedtime story when I was a little child. May I ask the
following, who are the three families? What is the significance of each of the
three families?” Jack asked wanting to know more about the Tri-Family.
“Well, the three families consist of the following
families. The first family is our family, the O’Connell Family. We were the
family that founded the new government after the first Great War. We are also
the first family in the Tri-Family seal up in the temple. We are scientists and
philosophers. The second family is the McKay Family. This family founded the
archives that keep records of everyone in the world. They are historians and
photographers. The final family is one that has not been around for a long
time. The Family was the Duncan Family. This final family helped found the
university and schools that your father went to. They were once the only
teachers in the world,” John stopped for a pause, to catch his breath, “The
significance of the three families was and is to keep balance in the world.
Your great uncle Leonardo adopted the name Duncan to keep the family name alive
because his best friend was a Duncan. The three families also kept possession
of the most powerful artifact in the world safe, the primordial soup that
started life itself. Our families also established the new world government
after the Great Thirty Year War.”
Jack understood what was told to him about the Tri-Family.
He then asked one last question, “How do we live forever?”
“Jack, there is something you need to understand. The
O’Connell Family cannot live forever. The only one that can live forever was
your great grandfather, until you destroyed all his double-angers. Before you
ask another question, I knew that you destroyed all of them because it was
written in the Book of Destinies and you implied it when you first spoke to
me,” John, his grandfather, John, answered.
Jack was a bit surprised and he decided to walk up to
massive temple. There he saw the great Tri-Family Seal. It was in the shape of
a shield. It showed each of the family’s code of arms. It also showed the
status of each family. Currently, none of the families were dead, so the entire
shield was still completely lit up. It was a site to see for Jack. He thought it
was very odd that it was placed away from the wall. He walked over pushed on
the seal and it opened a secret door.
He walked into the passage. He walked down a long
corridor. At the end of the long
corridor, there was a massive room. Inside, he saw something on a podium. He
saw a small ornate looking book. It was a small book and it had the title, The
Truth Lies Within, strange title for a small looking book.
Jack opened the small book and it read: This journal
belongs to Jason James O’Connell. Within its pages contains secrets of the
O’Connell Family and more. He saw what was written about the car crash. He
also, read something about the time machine.
As he read more of the book, his eyes began to get wider.
He began to realize something about his father. He figured out his father was
not a liar. Then, the lie that was within his head began to unravel. He began
to see the truth, but then in an instant the truth faded into the back of his
mind. Then, it disappeared from his brain and his heart. He could not tell
where the truth was. It was all because of the lie that was transplanted into
his head by his great-grandfather, James. That little black lie was clouding
the truth from staying within in the very own mind that he made. A small black
tear fell from his eyes.

Jason looked at the world with an open heart, and he
hoped that he would win the war. He looked over to his left side and saw his
best friend and trusted person to keep all of his secrets. Evan asked him,
“What in the world have you done?”
“I have, at the moment, permanently destroyed the one
organization that could have destroyed the world itself by infecting it with
its corrupted ways. If I did not destroy that evil organization would have
destroyed every single one of us on this planet. Well, Evan Duncan, if I can
use your real name once again, I guess I have some more things to do, before
the end of this year comes along. I have to win this battle to win the war and
get the world back on its feet again. Before I go, how is your older brother
Mitch?” Jason asked.
“He is doing very well for himself. He married into the
McKay family. Eric is not too excited about it though. Also, after this war is over,
I hope to go back to New World University, where my family belongs. I want to
teach again. This is the wake up call that I needed. Did your father know that I
was not an O’Donnell, but a Duncan all along?” Evan asked.
“Well, I do not really know about that. It shall and
always be our three families that will run this world. My father still thinks
your family is dead, but I hid you from the world, so we did not have to worry
about one of the families being completely dead. He is still around here in the
world somewhere. In fact, I might know where he is. He might be in, never
mind,” Jason stopped before saying it because Evan was not the head of his
family. Jason said under his breath, “He might be in the one place that the
enemy does not know about, Atlantis.”
“Tell your father that I am sorry from skipping out on
the meeting. I am in fact the head of my family now…” Jason did not hear what
Evan told him.
Jason walked over to the edge and jumped clear down into
the water. He swam all the way down to Atlantis, the home of the three
families. Jason hit the air pocket and landed on the ground which was once the
place where his family got started. He looked up and saw his father. There was
another person standing next to him. As he walked up to his father, he asked,
“Hey, why the hell are you here and alive?”
“Son, how are you? I am down here trying to keep
everything balanced. I brought down Mitch from the McKay family, just in case
something happens to you and your brothers. Oh, one last thing. Why did you
tell your son about this place, before it was his time to know about this
place?” John asked Jason.
“Well, I am doing fine, but I do have one thing that is
bothering me right now and that is the bloody war which is going on. I have to
tell you one thing. You forgot his brother, Evan. He is…”
“…A Duncan. I know that already since his brother told
me. He has missed a ton of meetings. Also, I knew that he was not an O’Donnell
before his brother told me and when I hired him to run the SAFD for me.” John
said when he interrupted Jason.
“I told my son bedtime stories about this place when he
was a kid, he might have told you about it. Before you tell me that he is here,
I know that the proper age in telling of the location of the meeting place of
the Tri-Family is when the leader of the family dies, but I had to tell him
because I felt something like this would happen. Did he see the book behind the
seal?” Jason asked his father.
“He did indeed see the book. He read it from cover to
cover. The book he read was everything about you and your wife. I did see the
warmth come back into this soul, but just that quick it disappeared. Our
greatest enemy, a family member, still has a grip on him. He no longer sees
clearly anymore. His mind is clouded by a thick cloud of lies. I can tell you
that I am happy to see you, future leader of the O’Connell Family…”

Ten days later, at an unknown location, Jack saw his
grandfather. His emotional state was all over the place. He really did not know
what to do. He walked over to the evil man said, “Fuck you, you fucking
bastard. You feed me false truths and made me the way that I am right now. A
fucking train wreck waiting to blow his brains out so that you can do this all
over again. Go to hell you fucking damn bastard of a man.”
As James looked at his great grandson, he looked back. He
tried to run away from him. Before you knew it, there was a gun in his face.
Jackson looked into his grandfather’s eyes and did not see anything at all that
was living within him that was still pure.
“Before I kill you grandfather,” Jack started, “Tell me
why you made me this way.”
“I made you this
way so that the master plan could go into effect. Your great pathetic father,
my damn grandson, is going to kill you to save this god damn world and erase
everything that happened during this year. It will be like it never even
happened at all. Once again, I will be immortal. I will no longer die and feel
the pain of this world like your father does. So kill me, it will not make a
hell of difference, if you do.”
Jack pulled on the trigger and sent an electrode into the
spin of James. He then looked down the spasm filled man and said, “Do not use
the holy lord’s name that way. God forgive me for what I am about to say. Fuck
you, old man. It is time to change the outcome of this world’s future and to
destroy you in the process…” To Be Continued.
