Update: I'll be the first to say it sense you all were so kind as to not; the first version was crap. Heck, even I couldn't follow it, AND I'M THE WRITER. It didn't have anything good going on, sometimes the characters would say the wrong things, and it was just way to fast and dull. SO, I decided to revise it. Hopefully its better this time.

Prologue
Thousands of years ago, before the birth of the human race, there existed other worlds in distant star systems, where life could be found. One such world was Divino Deus, the first world. It was a world filled with beauty everywhere you looked. With mountains higher than Everest, oceans larger than the Pacific, a calming sense about the lands as if it where straight from a Chinese painting or from the old days of the American lands. The skies were bigger than you'd ever imagined. And flying through those skies were the inhabitants of Divino Deus, the Seraphim.
The Seraphim were an angelic race, the grandest and the first ever made. With their large wings, some having up to three pairs, they soared their skies without worry. They could do whatever they wanted, be whatever they wanted to be in life, travel anywhere they wished, not just in their own world but on others with their highly advanced planet hopping portals. In short, this race feared nothing and were at peace, and all this was thanks to the efforts of a noble group of warriors, the Knights of the Universe.
The Knights were the wielders of the forces of the universe itself; Time, Space, Life, Power, Soul, Mind, Reality, and Light. They were given these gifts in order to not only help in the formation of new worlds and the developing universe itself, but to also keep out the darkness that sought to send all that was back into oblivion. The Abyss. The Knights were victorious in their efforts to keep The Abyss from its goals, and over time a few members wished to lead normal lives with having families of their own.
Two of the Knights who wanted this were Gaia and Elian, the Knights of Life and Time. They had fought in many battles together, always fighting side by side. So naturally they ended up falling in love with one another. And after the final defeat of the Abyss that ended up locking it away forever, they decided that the time had finally arrived to settle down. With two twin girls on the way and both former Knights finding lives for themselves outside of the world of war, all was going well for them as they awaited their children's birth and the start of their new lives.
But that day never came. Instead Gaia found herself walking through the rain headed off to the court of the High Council of Dinino Deus. If the rains were not pouring, then her tears would've been the only ones running down her face. Feeling the two soon to be newborns within her womb only served to strengthen the loss she felt as she knew she would not be seeing her beloved for a very long time.
Entering the extravagant structure she was led by an officer inside the court, were she awaited the inevitable. She looked around to try and see if she could find any familiar faces, but as there was none there to comfort her, the act only served to weaken her heart more so. Then the proceeding began as the accused entered the room.
He was held down and tight by countless chains, being led in upon a hovering platform. Oh, how her heart ached seeing this man being brought in this way. Not only was it the fact that he seemed fine with the situation at hand, being unable to escape and knowing fully well what he was going to go through. Not only was it the fact that he wasn't alone, as his seven 'followers' were brought in behind him, in similar containment conditions. No, what really hurt her was that she knew what exactly he had done, why he had done it, and who he was. That he was her commander, the leader of the Knights.
The Knight of Power was not there for being power hungry. Not for evil goals as heinous as world domination, warmongering, or even twisted religious beliefs. In fact, if their roles had been reversed and she had had to face the same dilemma, she feared and knew that she would be there, where the accused stood. Placing a hand upon her womb, though, reminded her why he was there, reminded her of what he had done, what he had attempted to do.
Her thoughts then turned back towards that of the last time she had laid eyes on her husband. How he had bravely fought to protect her and the universe itself from their once friend and leader. She sobbed and felt terrible reliving the moment that Elian was taken from her forever, never to see how their lives would have been if the fateful act of the fates themselves hadn't happened
She was taken out of her mourning when she herd the load, echoing sounds of the gavel hitting the podium. She looked up to see that her reminiscing had allowed her the luxury of not witnessing the entire session. Though what she was brought back to was not all that comforting either. She watched as the High Councilor gave the verdict.
"There is no need to drag this on any longer." The High Councilor said. "For your crimes against the creator and to the nine races of the universe, you shall herby be imprisoned for all time. And as for your punishment, the only fitting prison would be one of which you are so familiar with."
He called out to two guards who stood by the back doors. They pulled the heavy set open and two bulking guards walked in, carrying between them the most feared and dangerous prison ever conceived; a large boulder made of blacker than night stone that absorbed any light that dared to land upon it - except for the piercing purple light that leaked from the cracks upon its surface, The Obelisk.
As it passed by the accused, one of his 'followers', a large demonic creature with red lines across his face, snickered. "That's a really big pebble you have there. Oh, I'm so afraid." He was quickly silenced by a guard tazzing him in his gut.
The two bulking guards set down the Obelisk in front of the accused, with a portable pillar being placed next to it. Gaia knew all too well what was to happen, having had seen The Obelisk used with her own eyes. Due to this she turned away, not wanting to see the end results.
The High Councilor spoke again and asked if the former Knight of Power had any last words to say on his behalf.
The accused stood there, looking long and hard at his soon to be new home. Then he closed his eyes, took in a deep breathe, and looked up at his prosecutor. "Your honor, not a day has gone by that I haven't felt remorseful for what accord. I will not lie to you, what I did went against everything I had ever upheld in the order. I am truly sorrowed by how the events had occurred. Nothing would do me more pleasure than to take it all back and undo what I had done. If there was any other option that could have been made, any other ground breaking decisions that could have been thought up, any other… I would not be here today, and instead would be at my friend's…my recently passed away friend's wedding."
There was a long pause, then, then a cruel smile crept across his face and his tone turned more furious yet still as stern and serious. "With that in mind I do have one final thing to say. For what He did, for what He planned to do without any second thoughts, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat."
Then he turned to Gaia, a cold look in his eyes that let her instantly know she was being watched. Turning slowly to face him, she did not know if she saw hidden tears within his eyes or if it were her deepest, most desperate imagination. "And as for your husband," the former Knight said. "My friend, well I have this to say. His honorable death will unfortunately be in vain, for I will return to have my vengeance." A guard brought out a golden box from an adjacent room and set it down on the pillar near the Obelisk.
"I will, Gaia, return and make things right." He continued, as the guard opened the box and revealed that inside was a silver crystal-like key.
"I will return with my forces and take back what your husband had stolen from me." The guard then inserted the key into the somewhat naturally made key hole of The Obelisk.
"And I will break His spine!" The guard turned the key and jumped out of the way as the Obelisk began to open. "Now, come on," he said turning to face the stone. "Let's get this over with!" The Obelisk opened and within it a black hole formed and began to absorb all it could within the room.
The platforms the Knight of Power was on, as well as his 'followers', did not provide any support as they were sucked into the hellish portal to the depths of darkness and misery. After they had disappeared without any trace of their existence the Obelisk closed and the guard rushed over to lock it again.
Even as everyone in attendance left with the case concluded, they could still hear the awful screaming from within that stone. Screams of agony, of pain, of misery, but there were none for mercy. Though, much to their pleasure as well as to some of their remorse, the final sounds the villainous creatures made slowly began to lower, until there screams were completely inaudible.
Just as Gaia, relieved and sorrowed by the occurrence, exited the court she finally heard a friendly voice call out her name. She turned to see that it was Tsarina and her husband Tsar, the only other remaining Knight, wielder of Space. They were followed closely by a young cadet that Gaia had recently met. He was training in the royal armies, with Tsar as his Mentor. He was a Starian named Nightlight.
As Tsarina walked towards her friend, Gaia could feel a presence within her. The presence she knew all to well, for she had it to, a child. Though Tsarina's was only recent, perhaps two or three months, whereas Gaia was eight.
"Hey Gaia," Tsarina said as they met up. "Are you ok? I know that was really hard."
"Na, I'm fine," she lied, trying desperately to hold a smile for her friends. Trying to change the subject, she asked, "Anyway, do you have any names picked out for your baby?"
Tsarina blushed. "How do you, oh right, Knight of Life." The two soon to be mothers chuckled, while Tsar talked with Nightlight.
"So, tell me," Gaia said, trying to be happy. "What are the names you picked out?"
"Well if it's a girl, Firefly. If it's a boy, well Tsar wants to keep the family tradition, and have him named Tsar as well. Though, I'm more interested in naming him something different, maybe Manny."
"Manny? I think you hit your head on something there 'Rina." Gaia joked, putting her hand on Tsarina's head as if she were checking for bruises.
"Oh, come on Manny's not a bad name. So, what are your two girl's names? We never got to talk about it before…before…" Gaia saw that Tsarina was looking down, saddened and not knowing what to say about what had happened.
Gaia lifted her friends chin. "May Angel, and April, though for the latter I don't know a middle name for yet."
Their conversation was interrupted by Tsar. "Come on Tsarina we need to go. The guards have already uploaded The Obelisk on a truck headed for the Moonclipper." He then turned to Nightlight and asked him to go get their car ready.
Tsarina gave Gaia one last hug. "I'm going to miss you, Gaia."
Hugging her friend tighter, Gaia began to cry again. "I hope we'll see each other soon."
Letting go, the two friends began to walk away. Gaia then turned around and shouted. "Hey Tsar, keep my friend safe, you here."
He waved her off, and shouted back. "I will. And let the light be with you, always."
With that, Gaia headed off, to where a Shooting Star Capt. was waiting to take her off Divino Deus. As She was still out there, plotting for a way to free the traitor knight. So to keep her children, as well as the universe safe she would be leaving all that she knew, all those she loved, and seek refuge on a newly formed world. A little green and blue world that would soon be spouting life. The name of the planet was not determined yet, but she liked the idea of calling it, Earth.
Author's note -
bookdud3 - So what do you think? Something good, something bad, bit of both? Also, sorry for anyone who has been waiting for this, my computer crashed, my car got a blown head gasket, and all the while I am taking an on-line college class. Life hates me.
So yes those are MiM's parents and Sandy. Also, I will not yet be telling the name of the big baddie, just yet. It's a surprise, nor who Elian and Gaia are within legend folklore. And to those who do not know, this story is written as a sequel to the Final Four story written by disneydame88. Go check it out, it's so cool.
April - Yeah its cool, if your into lovy dovey stuff, but that's not what's gonna be in here. We've got high speed chases, new vehicles, new weapons, new characters, new places, oh some much new stuff that I couldn't possibly post it all. Also Gaia is M...
bookdud3 - April!? How... what are you doing here, you're not supposed to come up until later on in the story. Don't spoil things.
April - Oh lighten up, boo..bookd...seriously why are you called that?
