You Are Who You Were.
Chapter 1: Dreams Are More Then Your Imagination.
The Desert Planet of LegoEgo flourished with life on the bright sunny day. The locals bustled about their business through the snaky streets of their great and mammoth city. At the edge of the Lamaren river, that flowed close to the cities' edge, girls gathered the vital fluid in huge clay vessels to carry back to the city, giving life to the vigor and bustle that was their home.
In the city walls the inhabitants of LegoEgo went about with their small town business. Buying and selling their commodities, or just simply walking about and conversing with their fellows. The city lay at the water's edge where it was ideal for growing small desert crops on the very small stretch of land that could sustain plant life. The city of Lego Ego was the only spot on the planet that held life. Very little places on the planet held life forms, just a few prey animals here and there in pockets and shelters of caves and under the sand , and the city was the only spot that contained Humans.
The people of LegoEgo were different, they lived isolated from the rest of the universe on their small planet. Keeping intruders away from their happy community with the awesome force of the Light of Orion, the giant crystal pyramid that could shoot across the galaxy. In this way they developed their own culture, free of influence from others. They wore simple tunics with shell clasps to hold them in place, a sash tied around their waste to keep it all together, and laced sandals up to their knees. Most women adorned themselves with elaborate jewelry. Their hair came in all different colors, their was skin dark with a nice even tan. They enjoyed hunting and were very artistic in many forms of arts, music, painting, and song and dance. They were a peaceful people, conflict and skirmish was rare on the planet, but there were always those select few who would want to destroy the Light of Orion or use it for a dark and evil purpose. For this, the Emperor appointed the most worthy and strong LegoEgoians to be the Guardians of the Light of Orion, and protect it from all evil, at all costs. There were three Guards, Hellrot, the Archangel, Quelle, a warrior woman, and Mondm the Emperor's daughter. All three were qualified beyond the qualifications set by the emperor, and each possessed some sort of mystical power. Hellrot had the power of the Gods on his side, being an Archangel he had help from those most powerful, along with having a set of huge feathered wings that also gave him the gift of flight. Quelle had mystical magical powers to control electricity (of course on LegoEgo they had no electricity and therefor had no idea what it was), the warrior woman could shoot powerful beams from her hands and her golden staff. Now Mondm was very special because she was the Emperor's Daughter, but not only was that important to her people but she also possessed the gift of sight beyond sight. She had telepathic powers that allowed her to see into the future, your mind, heart, soul, and through solid objects.
Quelle was taking a stroll down one of the dirt roads through the metropolis. Looking from shop keeper to shop keeper. Just browsing and taking in the lovely day on her home planet. She had long aquamarine colored hair. Her armored tunic was silver and gold plated, adorned with inscriptions of her native tongue. In her hand she held a long golden staff witch a model of the Light of Orion sat on top of. The noon day sun glinted off of her armor plating, giving her a Goddess' glow. But soon it was not the sun glinting off of her, but a new source of light. A source of light that made her throw her hands up and shield her face from. It soon engulfed, swallowing her and everyone up. The screams of the people rose up into the air crying out in pain all at once, and then suddenly silenced. Nothing now but the sand blowing in the wind. You wouldn't be able to tell that where the great swirling sand was now a great prosperous city once stood.
Lex Morgans awoke with a start. She shot straight up in bed. Sweat dripped off of her forehead and down her nose, following down her spine. She breathed in deep and fast as if she had just gotten through running a marathon. The moonlight poured in through the bedroom window, draping her in it's fine white light in the darkness of midnight. Her long Blackish-blue hair fell around her shoulders, dampened with sweat. Something in her sleep had obviously startled her.
As soon as the woman regained her poise and bearings, she quickly threw the thick, warm covers off of her body and flung her feet out to the ground. She grabbed her night robe off of the closet doorknob and wrapped it snugly around her body, keeping the night chill from her arms and legs. Lex wasted no time throwing her bedroom door open and rushing down the stairs to her living room.
In another house on Capital Planet the brave and daring Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear, was sleeping peacefully in his bed. The blue comforter was pulled over his head as he lay sleeping. The covers fell and lifted again softly from his breathing. He needed the rest after a long day of stopping galactic evil, but his restful slumber was about to be cut short when his phone rang.
The phone on his night stand was yelling, screaming, trying to get his attention. Buzz was a grumpy person when he was woken up, especially when it's 12:30 at night! Buzz growled and moaned as he hid his head under his pillow, trying to muff out the ringing through the cotton fluff, it did no good, he could still hear the ringing in his ears, nagging him to pick up and answer. Whomever it was wasn't hanging up until they got to speak to him, this was no sales clerk. Buzz peered out from under the covers and reached a big hand over to pick up the receiver of his telephone. He brought it over to his ear and propped himself up on his stomach, leaning his head on his other hand.
"Hello," he grumbled into the phone half asleep and half vexed.
"Buzz, I'm sorry to wake you in the middle of the night," the voice on the other end apologized.
"No, Lex, it's OK. I had to get up at 0800 anyways," he joked, laughing a little at his own remark. Of course Buzz would never call it an obligation to talk to her, even if he WAS sleeping. "You're still up this late?"
"Well.." she trailed off. In her hand Lex twirled the phone cord nervously, "I had another dream."
This got Buzz's attention. He now swung his legs around and sat on the edge of his bed. His face turned serious and alert, "Another one of those LegEgo dreams?"
"Yes, the same one!" this hadn't been the first time Lex had told of a dream like this. For the last month or so she had been having the same reoccurring dreams. That she was in ancient times and something had gone terribly wrong to kill her and everyone else on the planet. It didn't bother her as much the first time she had a dream like this, but then she started having them over and over again, as if they were telling her something. "What do they mean? I can't close my eyes without having a dream about this great catastrophe that happened over a million years ago." Her voice trailed off to a fainter whisper, " I'm scared."
"You want me to come over?" Buzz volunteered to head straight for her house on the other side of town to sorta hold her hand and ease her worries. He hated hearing about her troubles and being on the other end of the phone. He would rather just hold her close and whisper sweet words in her ear to calm her. He would stay up all night if he had to.
"No, no," Lex told him, " You need to rest. Don't stay up because of me. It's only a dream," she told him to go back to sleep. After all, he would need all the sleep he could get to save the galaxy tomorrow. As a Space Ranger who knew what sort of idiosyncratic scheme Zurg was cooking up for him.
"OK," Buzz respected her wishes and sighed, "But if you need me, you know, I'm just a phone call away," he offered her his valiant help. He would like to help her a bit more then this. He felt he wasn't doing his protective duty towards her. He didn't want to go to sleep, he wanted to help! But he also knew to respect her and do as he was told.
Lex smiled and her heart warmed knowing how lucky she was to have someone like him to watch out for her and be concerned, "Thanks Buzz. Good night. I love you."
"I love you too," they hung up the phones and then tried to get back to sleep. But neither could, Lex was too shaken up from her dreams to close her eyes again for the night, and Buzz was up all night worrying about Lex. Both tossed and turned all night long until they finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
The next day at the Star Command Universal Museum Lex was conducting her co-workers. They were bringing in a new exhibit on the Planet Earth. There was a bit of work to do on the artifacts in cleaning up the details and restoring certain things, but Lex didn't mind she rather enjoyed it. She had put the visions of last night in the back of her mind for now. For someone who only had a few hours of sleep she was really active and alert, although that may be the result of a couple cups of coffee and the adrenaline rushing in her blood. The day was moving along smoothly for the half human, the excitement of new artifacts cheered everyone up in the museum.
Lex was helping another scientist carry in a large wooden crate when she blacked out and froze.
Quelle was taking a stroll down one of the dirt roads through the city. Looking from shop keeper to shop keeper. Just browsing and taking in the lovely day on her home planet. She had long aquamarine colored hair. Her armored tunic was silver and gold plated, adorned with inscriptions of her native tongue. In her hand she held a long golden staff witch a model of the Light of Orion sat on top of. The noon day sun glinted off of her armor plating. But soon it was not the sun glinting off of her, but a new source of light. A source of light that made her throw her hands up and shield her face from. It soon engulfed, swallowing her and everyone up. The screams of the people rose up into the air crying out in pain, and then suddenly silenced. Nothing now but the sand blowing in the wind. You wouldn't be able to tell that where the great swirling sand was now a great prosperous city once stood. A lonely voce echoed through the empty desert. The voice was faint and sounded as if it was crying out in pain for help.
"Help ussss," the voice hissed on the wind. "You must help ussss. Remember who you wererrrr."
"Lex, Lex!" a feminine voice called to her. "Lex wake up!" one of her coworkers was shaking her by the shoulders violently.
Lex awoke slowly from her trance and came to. Her blurry vision soon cleared as she came back to her senses. She found herself laying on the floor, the crate collapsed on the ground next to her, just missing crushing her. Lex sat up on the floor and grabbed her head in her hands. She shook with fright from her ordeal. This was the first time it had ever happened during the day time before, and the first time there was a message in it. Sweat once again trickled down her back and forehead, she felt cold, freezing. What was happening to her? Why was she having these visions? And what was the voice trying to tell her? Remember who she was? She had always been Alexis Jane Morgans! What in the great wide Galaxy was going on? Was she losing her mind? Was it trauma from the last time she was on that planet? Whatever it was it had to stop before she or another got hurt.
"Hey are you OK?" Lana her coworker asked kneeling down to her friend, "You blacked out back there. Is something wrong? Are you coming down with some sort of virus?" Lana was concerned about Lex. She didn't want her getting hurt and blacking out everywhere. This was strange behavior for Lex, to just freeze up and crash to the ground for several minuets, highly unusual.
"Yeah, I'm, I'm fine," she shakily tried to get to her feet but she was shaking so badly that she fell back to the tile floor again. Lana lent her a helping hand and hauled Lex to her feet, making sure she could stand on her own. "I, I need to get to Star Command!" Without saying another word Lex rushed out of the building, running at full speed towards her personal ship. Leaving Lana dazed and confused as to what was wrong and why she had to rush to Star Command.
