Star Warriors: Protectors of Popstar
Fanfic Adaptation
Prologue
Long ago, the ancestors of our ancestors were at war with each other. The constant struggle against good and evil carried on. The yin and yang of morality spun together as if they were meant to chase one another.
"They spin, forever and ever in an endless loop."
The good, moral side was known as the Light Bringers who fought only to protect the innocent life forms that populated the planets they guarded by ridding the galaxy of the Dark Seekers. The evil ones were known as Dark Seekers whose intent in battle was only to destroy both the seemingly powerless inhabitants, and the Light Bringers themselves.
"But who was doing more wrong?"
One celestial being as old as time itself was known as the Galactic NOVA, who fought for neither good nor evil, watched as the two mighty forces charged at each other only to bring about each other's destruction. NOVA stared at the opposing sides with a laid back emotion, and simply thought:
"Why can't they just get along?"
NOVA finally decided that they could never get along simply because they're both too stubborn and foolish to do so. Which at the time, NOVA didn't understand that this thought in itself was rather foolish as well.
For according to ancient law set down by the very maker of the universe,
"Light and darkness cannot co-exist."
However, we know this now and live according to this law. For that is our mission's purpose. To rid the universe of the darkness that threatens all of us. For it is our duty as…
"Kanuna, are you paying attention?"
Kanuna jolted awake at the sound of a slightly stern but soft voice.
"E-eh?" She looked around as the other classmates started snickering to each other. "Miss Kanuna, please try to pay attention. This history is vital to your education." Kanuna blushed in embarrassment and sat up in chair. "Y-yes Mr. Opettaja." Mr. Opettaja smiled and continued.
"The Light Bringers fought valiantly against the Dark Seekers, but while the Light Bringers were far more powerful than the Dark Seekers, the Dark Seekers outnumbered the Light Bringers by far. This made for a very interesting battle indeed…"
The lecture went on for about another hour before Mr. Opettaja finally said, "And that's how the Star Warriors were made." Immediately after he finished his sentence, a familiar klaxonical sound filled the classroom. All the other students cheered and stood up from their desks and pack up their books as they began to leave the classroom.
"Now class, please read pages 301- 405 in your textbooks today. See you all tomorrow." Kanuna quickly and quietly packed up her books and tried to blend in with the flow of students exiting the room, but she knew what was coming.
"Miss Kanuna, a word with you please…" Kanuna froze as she was just about to step through the door. Reluctantly, she slowly turned around and faced the old, white bearded teacher who was sitting at his desk.
"Y-yes, Mr. Opettaja…" Mr. O. motioned for Kanuna to sit, so she did. Mr. O. sighed as he stacked some papers on his desk and shook his wrinkly head, "Miss Kanuna, this is the third time this week you have fallen asleep in my class." Kanuna looked down in shame. "Do my teachings bore you so much that you can't even stay awake?" Mr. O. asked. Kanuna looked up at Mr. O.
"Eh? N-no sir! I enjoy history as much as any other student!" Kanuna looked down again, ashamed of her brash behavior. Mr. O. calmly sat back in his chair.
"Well, if you do find history interesting, then wouldn't it be beneficial to stay awake through my whole lectures?" Kanuna didn't respond. Mr. O. looked at Kanuna with love and care in his tired old eyes. "Kanuna, is something bothering you?" The old professor calmly queried.
Kanuna refused to say a word and sat there looking at the tile floor of the classroom. Mr. O. adjusted his glasses. "Perhaps it's none of my business. If you refuse to let me help you, then I can only ask that you find someone who you will allow to help you." Mr. O said, "Until then, please try to stay awake and at attention in my class." Kanuna nodded in an agreement to make a better effort. Mr. O. smiled sympathetically, "That's a good girl. You are free to go now, Miss Kanuna." Kanuna quickly stood up, bowed to Mr. O. and raced out the door. Then returned to the classroom forgetting her book bag, retrieved her bag and finally raced out into the hallway.
"Why do I fall asleep all the time?" Kanuna wondered to herself as she walked down the hallway, "Am I not getting enough sleep at night? No, I always get to bed by curfew, so it can't be a lack of sleep..." She continued to ponder as she lugged her book bag down the hall. She continued down the seemingly endless hallway until she reached the school district border. She stopped at the gate and let out a mixed sigh of half disappointment in herself, and half relief that school was over for the day. Then she swiped her school pass card through the scanner and stepped back as the gate opened in on itself granting her passage.
