A/n: This is one is about bad guys of mine past.

"Come on Thomas," Said Tesvalo Sorotai. He sat their smiling as he watched Thomas pick up a chess piece and move it.

"Tes, Come on. You know when it comes to Chess I do take forever to moves." Thomas replied checking at his best friend who was basically his brother's face. Thomas had black hair and green eyes. He smiled and glanced at the window as Tesvalo looked at the board in shock since he just one. He was happy in this little town. He had a life. He had his family his friends and they were far away from those who whished to destroy them.

"What do you know. You won your first game against me." Said Tesvalo.

"Didn't you say that the day I bet you is the day the world ends?" He asked.

"Yes," Tesvalo replied.

"Well the world is still here," Thomas replied smiling. Tesvalo just laughed and said, "Just get out of here Snake Boy."

"Come on. We are in our thirty's think you can stop with that nickname?" He asked doing his best to hid his smile.

"Never!" Said Tesvalo.

"Test," Thomas said and Tesvalo glared at him. They then laughed and Thomas said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Right, tomorrow." He replied. They hugged and Thomas left. Walking home.

"Evening Thomas!" Called another member of his village. He turned and smiled. "Evening Mrs. Mends," he called back bowing his head in respect for an elder. "How is your husband?" He then asked.

"Much better thanks to you," she replied with a smile. "I bet your boy and girl will grow up and lead this village."

Thomas smiled and said, "Thank you and have a good evening." She then said her goodbye and he turned and headed home. He reached his house door and opened it. He stepped in and his son and daughter charged at him hugging his legs.

He smiled and bent down to hug his children. "Daddy! Daddy! Look what I made you." Squealed his daughter who was only five. She handed him a picture that just had scribbles on it.

He smiled and took it. "I love it," he said smiling at his daughter. He then looked at his son who grinned. "What's with the grin?" He asked.

"I made this," he showed him a charged piece of wood. It wasn't really anything just a carved price of wood. "This is great. But what's with the gifts?" He asked smiling at his children. They just giggled. He chuckled and stood up. "Daddy? Did you get bring us home anything?" His daughter asked.

"So that's what you wanted," he said laughing. He pulled out a necklace and an oddly shaped stone. He handed the necklace to his daughter and the stone to his son. "Cool!" They both said then they ran off to play.

He smiled and walked into the kitchen. He saw his wife leaning over the stone cooking. She had her hair tied up and she wore an apron over her teal shirt and brown colored skirt. He walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey," he said wrapping his arms around her. She smiled and turned. "Hey. How was work? And how is Tesvalo?" She asked. She then turned back to cooking dinner.

"It was good and he is good," he replied as he tried to reach for some food. But she slapped his hand away and said, "No. Wait for dinner."

He laughed and said, "Alright. Alright."

Later that evening

Thomas woke up as he heard a soft voice. "Daddy?" Asked his daughter.

"Hmm? What's wrong sweetie?" He asked sitting up. "I had a bad dream...." she began. He took her and lifted her on his bed.

"What happened?"  He asked.

"Our village got destroyed by bad people and a bad man hurt you," she said with wide eyes. Thomas sighed gently and stroked her hair. "It was just a dream, i promise nothing will happen to me. Or our village."

"I still can't sleep," she said. Thomas sighed and moved over. She smiled and snuggled closer to her mom and dad. Instead of laying back down he went to check on his son who was sound asleep. He smiled happily. He then went back to bed.

In the morning he woke up to both his son and daughter next to him in bed. His wife had already got up and was down stairs. He smiled and went down stairs. Right after he went to the bathroom to change.

"Morning," said his wife as she place a cup of coffee on the table for Thomas and her self. He walker over to her and kissed her head. "Morning," he said then he sat down and took his coffee. She sat down across from him and smiled.

They talked for a while then his children woke up and came down stairs to eat breakfast. After a while Thomas said, "Okay. I have to go to work now."

"Bye bye daddy," said his daughter hugging his legs. " Bye sweety," he said kissing her forehead. "Bye dad," his son said hugging him. "See ya champ." He said grinning. He then said goodbye to his wife and left the house. He was his villages doctor also he checked out strange happens around or outside the village. He was also the brother-in-law of the town leader, so he also had a place on the village council.

He got to his office and settled down in his chair at his desk. He yawned a bit and stretched. "Morning Thomas," said Ettagar Volsh. He was also on the town council and was the one who gave Thomas things to check out, outside the village.

"Here Thomas," He said handing him a file. He took the file and looked it over.

"That's weird," Thomas said looking up closing the file and putting on his desk.

"Indeed, any animals that go near that end up going crazy and try to attack people. The only person that went near there was me and I had a very strange feeling," he said.

"Okay. I'll check it out," Thomas said grabbing his coat. He nodded his goodbye then left. He headed outside the village and looked around. He began to have a strange feeling in his chest. He began walking slowly and looked around. He bent down to a river and splashed some water on his face. He then looked in he water and saw a dagger he reached in and pulled it out. What in the wold? He thought to himself. He looked closely and ran his finger along the steel blade. He somehow cut his finger and a line appeared and a small stream of blood began to drip down. He winced in pain and pulled his hand back. The dagger blade began to glow a bit and smoke came out. It formed a man and he stretched and said, "D*** that Sith magic."

Thomas yelped and fell back, "who are you?" He stammered.

"Oh. I am Kage, thank you of so much for freeing me."Kage said bowing his head. "I am...." He began. "I know. Your Thomas." Kage replied looking down at him. 

Thomas just stared at Kage with a curious look and Kage just looked at him with a cruel smile. He can be powerful, curel, and chose so much chase. He is the perfect choice. Kage thought to himself.

"I thank you for freeing me and I as a reward I can give you whatever you want." Kage said.

"I want nothing," Thomas replied calmly.

"What?" Kage asked shocked. All humans want something. How dose he want nothing, he thought.

"I don't want anything. I have a family, friends and a whole village to care for. I want nothing." He replied.

"I can have all your work done for you," Kage offered.

"And miss the chance to have the feeling of actually helping or a story to tell my children. I couldn't even dream of it." He replied.

D***! I have to approach this diffidently. Kage thought. Thomas then turned and Kage bashed him on the head knocking him out. Kage then smiled and vanished. Off to find the people who destroyed basically the whole planet of Thomas home.

When Thomas woke up his head hurt. He got up and smelled something. Smoke. He suddenly ran to where his village was only to see it in flames. Tears began to pour down his face as he ran into the village. He saw no one.

"Thomas?" He heard a voice that was low and quiet. He tuned and shouted "Tesvalo!" He then ran to his friends side.

"Who do this?" Thomas asked holding back his tears.

"They did. They found us. They were too strong. We lost. Your the only one left." Tesvalo said coughing his eyes began to close.

"No...no..stay with me," He begged. Tesvalo pulled out a dagger and handed it to him. "Thomas. Leave start a new life. Don't go after them, swear on my dagger to this."

Thomas took the dagger and said, "Alright. I swear upon this dagger too..." but before he could finish Tesvalo fell limp in his arms. Thomas then let out a horrible cry. He then placed Tesvalo on the ground and looked towards his house. No. He couldn't bear the site of his family they way they were.

He then ran from he village respecting the dying wish of his friend. Once away he burst into bitter, bitter tears. He was the only one left. He was all alone. He then held the dagger up and said, "Tesvalo forgive me. I can't respect a part of your wish. I swear upon this dagger to avenge my family. My friends and my village."

He then turned however he saw Kage. He didn't know Kage was the one who altered his mind to swear to avage his family. Now he was forcing it to wish for power.

"I know what I want now. I wish for power." He said. Kage smiled and said, "That I can do." Kage then saw a snake hen back at Snake. Then using force magic. He merged the snake to Thomas. He screamed in pain and fell to the floor. He felt power rush over him.

Thomas then stood up and let himself vanish and reappear where the people who destroyed his village. He then moved with lighting speed killing them all. After wards he just stared at himself into a mirror. He looked part snake.

He then looked around at what he did. He then realized everything. What Kage did to him and how he altered his mind to do this. Right here he knew he had a choice. One, to leave now and redeem himself for the people he just killed and then start a new life somewhere else. Or he could go down a darker path filled with death, power, insanity and vengeance. He looked back at himself. His snake like face. His yellow eyes. He took the dagger and stabbed him self. Nothing happened.

He fell to the ground crying not knowing what to do. But suddenly a laugh escaped his lips. He then laughed throwing his head back. He know knew his path, he couldn't explain how he chose it or what caused him too. He stood up no more tears but it was replied with a sadistic smile.

"Who are you?" Cried a voice. He turned and saw one person left.

"My name is Snake," he replied sadistically. He then sliced their neck. He looked at the blade and with the last drop of Thomas in him he bond himself to the blade. Knowing that was now the only way to kill him. Why? Who knows. But maybe just maybe it was still Thomas silently praying that someone will be able to defeat him sending him to a final resting place among his family.

Years later

Snake walked through the ruins of what was once his home. He stood at the spot where his house was. "I know it's too late for redemptiond," He spoke more to himself as if the single drop of Thomas that was still in him would hear. But what he said was true.

It's too late to redeem him from he monster that he is.....and will always will be.
