Prologue: mind, body, and Soul
15 years before the events in the main story

Guardian Alexandre was in total control of everything, the legion, the
E.S.T and his family.  Then off from behind him twelve legionnaires
surrounded him and attacked
“ Ahhhh.”  He yelled in shock and as one of the legionnaires pounced on
him, knocking him to the ground, he used the emerald to get them off
him, it worked, he stood up, and some of them backed off
“ You wanna bring it on?  Then BRING!  IT!  ON!”  Alexandre yelled as
three attacked, he channeled a chaos shield and all three were
vaporized
along with eight others, until there were only three left.  He let the
shield down for one second and he was shot in the back, he fell to the
sidewalk

“Andre!”  A woman yelled from a window as she saw her husband fall to
the ground
“ Lady Sapphire, please, you must rest!  Your son could be born any day
now!  You can get so upset!  It’s not good for you or him.”  The nurse
said who was standing next to Sapphire trying to get her to lay back
down.
“ No what if something Happened to Andre?”  Sapphire said trying to go
onto her balcony while the nurse was holding her wrist.
“ Nothing will happen to Guardian Alexandre now lay back down!”
With the nurse dragging her and reassuring her the whole way

Chapter one: Introductions

We start our story twenty miles outside Echidnaopolis in a small Dark
Legion camp.  Inside this camp, a rally is in progress.  The
grandmaster’s speech is so volatile that he has almost incited a riot
“…Now I say to you, and all present here today, ask not what
Echidnaopolis can do for you!  But what you WILL do for ECHIDNAOPOLS!
Let the word go forth!  En el Premero de Novembre we shall attack their
city and reclaim what is rightfully ours!  And the populace shall
finally bow before us and reclaim their BIRTHRIGHT!”  He stepped off
the
podium and stood to the side for a moment until the crowd started to
calm down but before they were silent.  He stepped back up “ NOW!  I
say
to all of you!  Go and prepare for our INSURRECTION!”  He threw his
hands up for emphasis as the crowd kept ranting and screaming.  Finally
he stepped down and entered his tent as everyone dispersed.  All of the
Legionaries that went off to go prepare started some conversations
about
the grandmaster.  “ Wow he’s good at speeches!”  No Duh!  He’s the
grandmaster!  He has to be!” "Yeah buddy!  Now I really want to go inta
Echidnaopolis!” as the crowd finally dispersed and started their
preparation, we go to Echidnaopols and see guardian Sojourner lying on
his bed with his head hanging off… thinking.
“ Journer?  Honey?  Are you in there?  Is everything all right?  Can I
come in?”  It was Sojourner’s mother, Sapphire-Li“ Yeah ma, I’m fine,
come in.”  He was preoccupied with what he was thinking about to look
over at his mother who came in and sat down next to him
“ What’s wrong Journer?  You look upset.”  She put her hand on his
shoulder
“ I was thinking about Father.  What was he like?”
“ Well, he was kind and sweet, he would’ve loved you so much Journer.”
Sapphire stroked her son’s bangs
“ What happened to him Momma?  Where did he go?”
“ Journer please!  You’re not ready to know.”  Sapphire pleaded with
her
son not to go into this but it didn’t work
“ Momma, please.  I’m 15 years old.  You never told me what happened to
him.  Now I want to know.  Please Momma!  Please?”
“ All right Sojourner.  The day before you were born…  Your father…
your
father went up against the Dark Legion.  It was a bitter battle with
many left dead.  What I saw was, at least 20 legionnaires went and
attacked him, and he fought of as many as he could but in the end, he
was shot in the back, and collapsed.  Three legionnaires grabbed him
and
dragged him off.  We never saw him again after that.  Oh, I miss
Alexandre so, I just wish the legion didn’t take him.”  Sapphire’s eyes
filled with tears and she looked over at her son
“ You look so much like your father Journer, now with you fighting the
Legion.  I want you to be as careful as you can Journer.  Please don’t
try to find him.”
“ I won’t Momma, I promise won’t”

Chapter Two: The Big flashy battles

The dark legion oppressors were on the edge of the city.  They were
ready to enter and reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  As the
grandmaster took a last walk around the ranks he smiled after all the
months of planing, he would finally fight the guardian!  Echidnaopolis
would be his!
“ OUR ATTACK SHALL COMMENCE AS SOON AS THE SUN RISES, THAT’S 10
MINUTES!  BE READY, THOSE WHO FEEL THAT THEY’RE TOO AFRAID, SHALL BE
EXECUTED AND LEFT TO ROT IN THE ZONE WE JUST CAME FROM.  ANY QUESTIONS.
Good!  I wasn’t expecting anything.”  The grandmaster about-faced and
walked to the front of the troop every one was ready, hopefully, so was
the guardian.
“ All right everyone!  Sorry to have you all up at this ungodly hour
but
we know the legion is going to start their attack soon.  We’ll have to
be ready, everyone knows there posts and we have to capture and
interrogate the grandmaster—.”  The constable said during the briefing.
Guardian Sojourner was sitting to the left of the constable and he was
staring aimlessly in that direction
“CONSTABLE!  THE LEGION’S ATTACK IS STARTING!”  One of the lead
officers
yelled into the room
“ All right everyone Let’s go wop some Legion!”  Sergeant Megan said as
all of the officers rushed out of the room
“ Guardian, you must stay near the back until we know who the
Grandmaster is, for your own safety.”
“ Sorry, I’m in the front.”  Sojourner said rushing out of the room
The E.S.T had taken their posts around the City and they could see the
approaching oppressors and they were ready.
The Legion could not see the E.S.T.  The grandmaster at the front of
the
battle knew that the resistance would be great and that they would have
to be careful, he could see the E.S.T because of Cybernetic implants
around his eyes.  They were venerable, now was the time to strike
“!  ATTACK!”  The grandmaster yelled
“!  ATTACK!”  The constable yelled
As the battle began there was much shooting, and killing, but no one
could find the grandmaster or guardian Sojourner.
Then everything stopped, like a thunderclap, the grandmaster, the
former
guardian, Guardian Alexandre Sojourner Echinaria, grandmaster Spectre
stepped right into the square
“ WHERE IS THAT COWARD GUARDIAN?  IS HE TOO AFRAID TO FACE ME?” he
yelled as loud as he could
“ I’m right here!”  Sojourner glided down and landed in front of
Spectre
who stepped back
“ Now who’s the coward?”  Sojourner said mocking Spectre
Spectre smiled through the faceplate and that covered about
three-fourths of his face.  Sojourner Stepped back, now to get a better
look at this, grandmaster, all his dreadlocks were metal and both of
his
arms were the same way.  But, one eye was visible, a brilliant
blue-green eye that sparkled incredibly bright.
“ You’re under arrest!”  An officer yelled from behind Spectre grabbing
him by the throat, slashing it with knife.  Spectre fell to his knees
in
pain as the hand cuffs were slapped onto his wrists and he was dragged
off
“ Journer!”  The constable yelled over to him
“ Constable Juliet!  What’s wrong?”  Journer came over to her, Now he
realized what he was staring at, he still had feeling’s for her, but
now
he had to worry about the legionnaire in custody
“ WE must go question him Sir.”  Juliet said taking Journer by the hand
and leading him to E.S.T HQ

Chapter three: The Truth

“Are you going to answer me or what?”  Sojourner asked the legionnaire
in the holding cell, No answer.
“ Guardian Sojourner, we found a little information on our friend
here.”  The constable said coming into the room with a pad of paper
“ All right constable, Shoot.  I’m all ears.”
“ Well guardian, he’s the current grandmaster of the Legion, and we
can’t do a background check on him.”
“ No record?  Wow!  He must be new.  I guess.”  Sojourner looked back
into the cell.
How could this happen?  No record?  I feel like I know this guy.  But
how?
Just then, the constable interrupted his thoughts
“ Guardian?  Sojourner?  Do you hear me?  HEY BUDDY YOU THERE?”
He shook his head and refocused on her.  Constable Juliet-Ta.  He just
stared at her for a moment, Before she became constable they were best
friends, almost couple.  But they went there separate ways.  Now, were
they friends?  Or not?  She was the first female constable in history,
this is what made it so hard, to love her, to love her is a treason
against the floating island and Echidnaopolis, and not to love her was
a
treason against his heart
“ Yes, I am Juliet.  What is it?”
“ Guardian Sojourner, I’m the constable now, and you cannot do that.”
Almost silently, she whispered something to him
“ But someday, it won’t be like this, everything I’ll be fine, we’re 15
Journer, our whole lives are here for us, to be together.”  She smiled
softly to him but this moment was short lived, she returned to the
normal, serious, frown that everyone was accustomed too.
“Guardian, this Legionnaire seems different from all the others that
we’ve encountered.  If we could get him to talk, then, maybe just maybe
he could give us all the info we need.”  She looked into his cell and
accidentally locked eyes with him
“ I---am---no---threat---to---you---or---anyone---else---here.”
She jumped back to hear him speak
“Guardian… he spoke to me, he said that he’s no threat to me or anyone
else here.  Do you think he cam be trusted?”
“I don’t know Juliet but I think that we should go in and ask him our
selves.  Open the door.”  You heard him, open it up.”
The door cranked open and both, the constable and Sojourner entered
The holding cell

Chapter four:  “Realties.”

 “Are you sure about this Journer?”  Constable Juliet asked
“ Yeah, let’s just see how far he can be trusted.”  Sojourner took
Juliet’s hand and led her into the cell.  All of the agents backed off
as their Constable went into a legionnaire’s cell
“ Close the door behind me.”  Juliet said nodding to Officer Megan who
was by the control panel.  She agreed and as Juliet entered behind the
guardian She closed the door
“ Hello, I’m Constable Juliet-Ta, grandmaster… uh…  What’s your name?”
Juliet asked in her firm tone
“I---have---done---nothing---to---you.”  He looked down at the floor in
respect for the guardian and the constable
“ What is your name?  I will not ask again.”  She said stiffly
“My---name---is---Spectre.”
“ That’s better.  Run a background on the name Spectre.”  Juliet yelled
over her shoulder to the waiting officers outside
“ Aye maim.”  One said back
“ Guardian---Sojourner---I---did
nothing---to-you-why---must---you-attack-me.”  Spectre said slowly in
his deep metallic voice.
“ Journer!  Wait!  Stop!  I know this Legionnaire!”  Sapphire came
running into the holding area
“ Lady Sapphire!  Please!  Wait you can’t come in here it’s too
dangerous in there!”  One of the officers was pleading with Sapphire to
say outside
“  No officer I want to go in there, Now move!”  Sapphire pushed the
guard out of her way and went to the cell door
“ Andre, it’s me, Sapphire!  Don’t you remember?  Honey?”  Sapphire
said
softly to Spectre
“
I---do---not---know---anyone---named---Sapphire---or---anyone---named---Andre.”
Spectre said slowly
“ Honey?  What did they do to you there.”  Sapphire was so broken up
over Spectre that she ran out of the cell, Sojourner ran out of the
cell
and to his mother’s side
“ How do you know him mother?”
“  Journer, that’s your father….”

Chapter Five: The Truth

“My dad?  Is a legionnaire?  You need to talk to him mom.  I’ll be
right
behind you.”
“ All right I need to talk to him anyway.”
As Sapphire, Sojourner and Juliet went into the cell Spectre backed to
the wall
“ It’s all right honey, don’t you remember me?  Anything?”  She stopped
as tears came to her eyes.
“ No I---do---not---know---who---you---are.
I---have---heard---your---voice---before---somewhere---before.
How---do---you---know---me?  Are---you---an---officer?”  Spectre’s
voice
was still sore and raspy from the battle
“ Honey what happened to your voice?  Wait do you remember this?” she
stopped and kissed him on the lips but quickly pulled away and touched
her lips
“Your lips are like frozen metal… oh Andre what did they do to you
there?” she stopped and wrapped her arms around him in sorrow and
started to cry.  He looked down onto her, and in her eyes, a memory
started to come back.  Then he whispered something to her
“ Sapphire---my love.  They hurt me…stole---my memories--- you. 
---Stop
the pain my love.  My memories I---.”  He stopped and his mind went
blank again and the memory was gone.  He let go of Sapphire and stepped
over to the side of the cell again
“ Alexandre?  What’s wrong?  Why are you doing this?”  Sapphire came
over to him
“ No Saph---don’t try to trust me---I’m not the same---I could hurt
you---my love.”
 Spectre’s memories came back as a flashback and suddenly; he saw
Sapphire and himself sitting on a blanket in a park.  She looked
different, somehow, larger like if she was pregnant, Everything came
together, she was pregnant it was the month before there son was born.
He didn’t even know his son’s name; he didn’t remember what his old
name
was.
“ Andre?  Think about me; try to think about me.  I know you can.
Constable Juliet, what could
The legion have done to him?”
“ Well My Lady it looks like a mind wipe was done on him, and a very
good brainwashing job to follow up on that.  If my guess is correct
Lady
then we might not be able to correct what they did to him.”  Juliet
said
looking over at Spectre
“ I’m sorry My lady.”  Juliet said slowly and softly, Sojourner put his
hand on Juliet’s shoulder to comfort her
“ It’s okay Jul, you’ve done your best.”

Chapter six: Futures

Six months have passed since that date, Grandmaster Spectre was found
out to really be the lost Guardian Alexandre Sojourner, and all charges
were dropped.  But, there was still the little problem concerning the
mind wipe, Spectre didn’t even remember his training so he had to
“re-do” a good half of it.  Mean while, Constable Juliet found out that
the legion was planning another raid to get Spectre back.  But this
time
instead of Sojourner making the speech he decided, that Spectre should,
so he would gain the peoples trust.
“ Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to present to you Guardian
Alexandre
Echinaria the leader of the Shock troops.”  As sojourner finished
Spectre walked out onto the platform Raspialy, Spectre tried to start
his speech but his voice was so marred from when the officer slit this
throat that he had to have someone start it for him so the crowd would
hear him.  Then at the middle of the speech he moved the translator out
of the way and finished it himself
“…We have to understand---The legion want’s somewhere that that can
control by themselves and for themselves.  Listen people of
Echidnaopolis we shall let them attack but only to show them that we
shall not be taken or defeated.”
 Guardian Alexandre stopped there.  Total silence.  Then one echidna
stood up, followed by another and another until the whole crowd was on
their feet.  Sojourner came out
“ What are you doing.”  Sojourner asked the crowed one echidna said up
to him
“ Standing ovation guardian, a moment of silence.”
Sojourner smiled for a second
“ Guardian!  IT’S STARTING!”  Juliet yelled over to him

 Chapter seven: deaths

The battle started and Sojourner stood in the back with Spectre Until
Juliet came and informed the Moritori-Rex had come for his revenge
“ No!”  Spectre left when he heard that name
Back on the battle field Moritori-Rex stood on the edge until he saw
Spectre then he came forward
“ My friend, I see you have reverted back to your original status.”
Moritori said getting into Spectre’s face
“ Yes you ungrateful bastard, and now your gonna to pay for what you’ve
done to me!”  Spectre grabbed Moritori’s collar and pinned him to the
ground
“ I’m going to kill you for this!”  Spectre was holding tightly to
collar and was going to choke him when Moritori snapped his hand and a
claw type glove formed
“ Too bad for you, Guardian, that you’ll never live to see your
grandchildren!”  Moritori went and clawed across Spectre face, cutting
three, Extensive lines, causing Spectre to recoil in pane and shock
“ You Ass hole!”  Moritori yelled jumping onto Spectre’s neck, an
attempt to choke him.
“ Get—OFF ME” He gave a quick knee to the groin.  Causing Moritori to
fall back, Spectre wiped his face to see the blood trails.  Moritori
stood back up
“ You sick son of Edmund!  Now you die!”  Moritori let a strain pellets
off from the glove and Spectre dodged them but they hit Sojourner in
the
back, he yelled in pain and fell to the ground, Juliet ran over to him
and wrapped her arms around him.  Spectre saw this and he remembered
his
wife and how she did that once too
“ Moritori!  You killed my father!  Now I KILL YOU!”  Spectre yelled.
So full of rage was he that a rush of power filled him and he closed
his
eyes, the channeling abilities came back to him.  He remembered the
attack he was famous for, the double Spectrum, A multitude of colorful
bands emanated from him eliminating or trapping the opponent in the
rainbow spectrum, which acted as a rope and banded the opponents arms
and legs together.
“ I call upon the powers of the Master emerald!  Hear my plea!  Grant
me
the powers to perform the RAINBOW SPECTRUM!”  Spectre said with anger
in
his voice
“ EMERALD SPECTRUM!”  Spectre was covered with a red light that changed
to blue, green, purple, and yellow, finally all of the colors combined
together to form one sold mixture.  The rainbow surrounded Spectre, he
brought his hands down to form an “L,” and closed them to look like a
gun, he pointed his hands to an angle in front of his nose.  And the
rainbow formed a small ball on the tips of his fingers
“ Ready to die?”  Spectre smirked Moritori nodded softly
“ SHOOT HIM!”  Moritori yelled
“ Spectre Yelled “DOUBLE BIND!  NOW!” everything was deflected and the
legionaries were instantly vaporized.  Then Moritori fired an optic
blast and It hit Spectre in the eyes.  He fell, but the legion
retreated
after seeing the former grandmaster shot down, they still respected
him,
totally,
“ Where do you IDIOTS think your going!  Come BACK HERE!”  Moritori
yelled and went after his shock troops

Chapter 8: Endings
Sojourner came over to Spectre, who was running his hand over his face
glumly
“Now what?”  Sojourner said looking into Spectre’s eyes, He knew what
Sojourner meant, and it was his face
“ Nothing, I’m going to where a cowl, the same one that I wore as a
grandmaster during battles.  No one has to know what I look like.”  And
with that Spectre touched a spot on the side of his face and a silver
cowl rose and covered his entire face.

Epilogue: The present

Spectre still where’s the Cowl, and Sojourner’s the only one that truly
knows what his face looks like, and Spectre, he has no regrets, that he
admits to about what happened so many years ago.  But I asked Sojourner
something and this is what he wanted me to leave you with

“ Julaya, More times than not, Lives will be shattered by hopelessness
and despair.  And if you went over to Spectre and asked him that right
now, he wouldn’t answer.  He knows your right.”

The End
