The Story....

"Bye son", Zack hears his mother saying, "Have a nice time with your grandpa!" Zack hears his mother get into her car. Zack waves to her from the window. Zack's mother pulls out of the driveway. Zack runs to his big screen television, the one his mom doesn't allow him to even look at, and flips to the cartoon channel. "Ahh, nothing good on.", Zack says. He then decides to flip through some channels. "Nothing good on any channels!", Zack exclaims. "The only thing left is the news channel." Mike Richman, the news reporter speaks out, "We have news of bright lights appearing over the sky. These lights seem to glow strange colors. One person reported of another who died by just touching this light and we have news of ......." The report was interrupted by a voice. "Its starting again.", Zack sees his grandpa saying. "What are you talking about, grandpa?", Zack asks. Zack's grandfather begins to tell Zack about something that happened over a 100 years ago. "Your great, great, grandfather was driving his car, when a car from behind crashed into him causing him to drive off the road. He got out of his car to yell at the driver who crashed into him but he couldn't think of anything, he then looked down and found a strange amulet. your great, great grandfather thinking he could sell it to an antique shop, he it picked it up and drove off. On his way to an antique shop he heard a scream. He decided to get out of his car and see what was happening. He looked around and found a woman being confronted by a strange sea looking creature. Your great, great grandfather felt he had to do something. "Hey ugly, I don't know where you came from but your going to have to go back there!", Your great, great grandfather said to the creature. The creature looked at him with much rage. The amulet began to glow in his pocket. He picked it up in his hand. So the creature confronted your great, great grandfather. With the amulet in his hand, he swung at the beast. The amulet seemed to give your great, great grandfather unlimited courage. The monster flew by and crashed into the local factory with a punch from your great, great grandfather. The woman looked at him with much thanks. From then on your great, great grandfather decided to use this power for good to fight any evil forces to come to our world. And it was passed from generation, and now they have returned to danger the lives of all mankind, so it is now your turn." "That seems more like a myth than reality." Zack said. "Yeah, well then what's this?", Zack's grandfather lifted his shirt to reveal the amulet. "Its the amulet!", Zack exclaimed. "So now Zack you must destory these evil forces and continue the tradition." Zack's grandfather declared. "Alright I'll do it!!!" Zack said proudly. "There are only three things you'll need to know, Jump, Duck, Shoot." Zack's grandfather told. "Shoot?" Zack said confused. Zack's grandfather handed him a laser gun. "These don't exsist!!!", Zack yelled. "Then why are you holding it?", Zack's grandfather asked. "True." Zack said. "Good luck Zack, or should I say Zack the Kid.", Zack's grandfather told him. "Zack the Kid, I like the sounds of that." Zack said with a twinkle in his eye.
