Chapter 1
You want to know how it all began?
Let me start by introducing myself, my name is Edgar Parker Edge. My friends call me Eddie.
It all started on March 13th, 1932; just a month after my 12th birthday.
"Why did you do this?!" yelled my father, Ryo Edge.
My dad was a Japanese man of 35 years. He was a former member of the Ninja dragon clan.
My mother, May Parker was an American woman who had met my father in Japan while she and her parents were there delivering the message Christ.
Her parents were killed by a member of the dragon clan named Saki Shenon one night in an ambush.
As Shen chased May, my father stepped in the questioned Shen. Fortunately he was not far away when this happened since the clan had been participating had a tournament in that part of the city.
Shen went on and on about how Christianity was an evil cult and that anyone who comes to Japan why preaching it should be punished.
Ryo tried to tell him that that was not the way of the clan, that they were supposed to be peaceful.
Shen refused to listen and attacked mother again.
Ryo had unsleathed his sword in a heartbeat and cut into Shen's stomach; killing him.
Ryo had bench and by killing another member of his clan. He had to flee to another country and start another life.
He and May had come to New York City in May of 1919 and soon after that I was born at the peninsula hospital in Rockaway beach Queens New York on February 10, 1920.
I guess you are wondering why I have my father's name since interracial marriage was not legal yet.
My parents were married in secret by Reverend Martin Grayson who believed that love was love no matter what the race of the people where.
Now my mother was laying on the ground, her body covered in blood after being shot by a laser pistol by an alien being who called himself Goro Hon.
Goro was the empire of a race of being known as Majas. They were human shaped with redish skin without any hair.
They had the ability to transform the body into a clay-like substance and use it the change the shape of their bodies.
The maja's homeworld 'planet Majon' was destroyed by a comet and the surviving members of the race had come to earth.
"Both of you must die." said Goro.
We were in Riverside Park when we were attacked. I hid up inside of a nearby tree as mother sheilded father from the blast. Fortunately Goro did not notice me.
"The maja oracle has foretold that a man called "Edge" will defeat me and I won't allow that to interfere with my plans!"
"We have done nothing to you."
"It's not what you have done to me, it's what you might do in the future! I won't take that chance!"
"You bastard!" yelled father as Goro shot him in the chest. My father dropped to the ground without another sound.
Tears ran down my face as Goro flew away using an anti-gavity belt. He was laughing!
Finally I climbed down from the tree and saw the dead bodies of my parents.
I screamed; I howled; I was an orphan now; I had no one!
I ran from the park, acrossed Riverside drive and into an abandoned apartment building.
I could hid there for a while since I was sure that Goro would kill me if he knew who I was.
Goro not only had the maja army behind him but he was had the people of New York in fear. Many places would pay him just to stay away or he would beat people up and destroy property.
"I swear…" I said as I layed on the cold hard floor of the lobby. "I will avenge my parents, or I will die trying!"
When I finally settled down a little bit, I entered on the the apartments and found an old bed with a pillow and a blanket. Someone had been there not long ago, but the building looked it had been empty for weeks. Did Goro and his gang kill the residents?
I climbed into the bed and relaxed. Fear and sarrow kept me awake for a while but finally I managed to fall sleep.
