At the same time the Warrior destroyed the darkness and restored power to the warriors realm a child was born. The boy was born in war time on Koren Colony 667C. He lived in a poor village and built weak swords for sale offworld. It was a poor life but Zeph was able to get money for his swords and always had food on the table. Until one day Zephs life changed completely. They were called the slavers and they captured pewople so they could sell them as slaves offworld. The towns people fought against them but they failed miserably. The slavers captured children and women chaining them up and throwing them into barracks to be sold offworld. It wasn't until a slaver tried to capture Zeph's mother that things started to go wierd. Zeph saw the slaver captain grab his mother. She wrenched away and tried to pull free but the slaver had her tight. Zeph ran at him with one of his swords but the slaver hit him with his own sword knocking zeph down and breaking his sword. Zephs mother grabbed a piece of Zephs sword as the slaver dragged he on and she thrust it into his eye. He grasped at his eye and removed the sword and then hacked at her body in front of the fallen Zeph. Suddenly Zeph felt sick and a sudden surge of power overtook him.
His eyes burnt red anf blood trickled down his cheek. He grabbed the broken hilt of his sword and pummeled the Slaver captain with it. He smashed the captains skull in until he was no longer recognizable. And then he faced the rest of the slavers there were 100 other slavers there. He felt the feeling this time except now it was uncontrolable and he felt himself begin to change.
He became a Dark Stalker a creature who will transform in times of desperate need or in battle. Though he was heavily outnumbered he killed over 60 slavers before they restrained him and threw him into the cargo hold. The slavers sold Zeph to a Gladiator Stadium on the planet of Makeon. There he was taught how to fight and make weapons. There he re-forged his broken sword and voweled to escape and destroy the slavers. Here he fought and killed many evil warriors and gained much experience. He discovered he could control the powers vested in his self-concious and he became a fearsome warrior soon he worked his way to the top rankings of the glatiator warriors. It was at this time that he met his trainer and future friend... Jerico. There was rumor that a top fighter had come to challenge anyone who dared to a duel and he would pay for there freedom however if they lost he would make you his slave. Of course Zeph was up to the challenge and was one of many to get in line to fight the champion warrior. After many battles and many loses it finally came down to Zeph to fight. He looked weak and small and all he carried was his own cheap sword. Jerico looked at the boy and laughed but when they attacked Jerico found that this boy had more talent then anyone he had come to face yet.
The two locked in battle for many hours until at last Jerico pinned Zeph with his sword. Even though Zeph lost Jerico still paid for his freedom and took him on as an apprentice. From here Zeph ascended to the highest levels of learning and was now able to control his power fully and accuratly. Jerico was amazed at Zephs fighting abilities and gave him a training station orbiting Makeon to train in. Jerico then left Zeph to train and advance his skills. After that Zeph became the sole protector of the planet Makeon even to this very day.
