The sound of the screams could still be heard across the planet.

From where the children stood, at the top of the ridge, they could all see that the battle was not going well. One by one, another protector fell, bringing the enemy closer to their city.

There was nowhere to run, the parents had said. They were trapped in this city waiting for Skeleton King to lose. But their waiting, had turned into praying, and then into begging.

He was close enough now that the children could see his face, see his smirk. He raised his scepter high into the sky, slashing down and taking out the Sun Riders, all in one move. He turned to the children, watching their fear play across their faces.

A series of cries, six to be exact, came from behind him. He turned as the children gasped.

The HyperForce had fallen

The War was over.

They had lost.

Their fate was sealed.

-----

Every person in the former Shuggazoom City was now a slave. All the able bodied men and women were forced to join Skeleton King's army, the SkullBearers. With their possessions gone and no homes to return to, they were taken away.

Most left their children behind.

Ten years have past since that fateful day, they day our parents were taken away. We have heard rumors that they had been killed in the Uprising eight years ago. Sadly we hope that they were.

People are being taken again for the army. None of us understand why, as the only place that His Majesty has left to conquer is the Zone of Wasted years, and no one in their right mind would even think of stepping foot in that place.

Skeleton King has gotten nastier to us, the children he had smirked at during that final battle. We all think it is because of his ego. He never really got over the lose of his hand thanks to our eldest friend Terarik ten and a half years ago, right at the beginning of the war.

All around us is pain and suffering, in both Labufic and Raynia. But not here, in Freedom's Field. Not here, at the Terarik Cemetery.

As we gazed at the statute of the first fallen warrior, and hero, we all knew that we would have to fight back.

There had been rumors of an underground resistance made up entirely of children and teenagers. We had already decided to join.

They had a particular name, too. What was it? Oh I remember.

The Shuggazoom Knights.
