The Story of Sonny Blackbones
The story predates Galactik football 1,and takes place in Akillian, a planet much like Tellus,
16 years prior to Galactik football season will follow the technoid scient I'Son,trough
the catastrophy with the Metaflux ,that caused the planets glaciation, the escape and his years
as the rookie pirate Sonny Blackbones, up to his fight with the pirate leader Magnus blade,
wich was defeated by Sonny blackbones, leaving Sonny to claim the title as the pirates leader,
the leader of their choise, and up to his re-discovering of his former labpartner, Clamp and a
pain that lasted 15 put to an end with finally finding his son to be alive. So here it is, my
story,on the pirtate leader SonnyBlackbones. Enjoy.
Chapter1:Akillian's last day of summer
It was hot inside, I'Son cursed as he made his way trough the hallways of the Technoid labs atAkillian.
What could possibly be so important that he had one of his rare daysoff disturbed? Yarrit had
sounded so excited over the phone. Knowing Labnor's tendency to being a work-a-holic, I'Son didn't
feel the same enthusiasm. He had promised his wife, Niobe, that they'd be working on the
guestroom today, and he hated breaking his promiseto her. Now what could this project that Labnor
was so excited over be? He had a feeling he would soon find out. He liked it here, he never did at the
Technoid planet. It was just…too sterile for him, it had taken time to get a transfer out, not to
mention the time spent on having Bleylock agree to it. The general was an odd case. I'Son never
could make out what it was. Itwas more a gutfeeling than everything else. I'Son shock the toughts as
he entered the office of General Bleylock here on Akillian. Labnor was already there, excited like a kid
on Christmas eve. He was drinking water from the Akillian spring. Labnor lid up as I'Son entered the
room. "Good to see you I'Son, boy it sure is hot today". Labnor whiped his forehead with the sleeve
of his arm. "Yes, the hottest day so far", I'son accepted the waterbottle Labnor was handing
him, before he sat down on one of the three chairs in the office. Bleylock, as usual, was running late.
" Yarrit, do you know anything more about the project that you haven't told me yet?" I'son asked his
old friend. It was typical for Labnor to just throw himself head first into a project without really
knowing much about it. " No,not really, I just know that it's both mechanical and scientifics
involved, and when Bleylock asked me to choose a labpartner for this, you were the first I thought
of". I'Son nodded, having a sip of water from his bottle. The door opened and General Bleylock
entered the Room. " Gentlemen, it is nice to see you both" he said, as he made his way past I'Son and
over to his Desk. I'Son couldn't help feeling cold chills running down his spine everytime General
Bleylock came too close. The time they had been apart since I'Son had transfeered from the
Technoid planet to Akillian, had not been enough. But I'Son refused to dwell on just that particular
subject. It would not do him any good. As Bleylock opend a folder and put it's contents on the desk, it
cought I'Son's attention. Bleylock turned to him and asked " what do you think this is all about
I'Son?". I'Son could see a small smile on Bleylocks lips as he spoke to him, and that thought lead him
back to memories he was trying to suppress. That was another time, another place, it was
over, done for, he had moved on, met someone new, a new love, gotten married, Bleylock surely
couldn't still…or could he? I'Son knew from personal experience how hard this man was to read.
Now, Bleylock was standing in front of him, waiting for I'Son to tell him what the project was about
and how it could be done. I'Son stared at the documents. It was a jobdescription, for a project most
people would think to be impossible. "Bleylock,if this is a joke,it's not one I'm in the mood for", I'Son
was irritated. This was just too much. Had Duke Maddox finally lost it? Maybe all the losses of his
Technoid football team, consisting of football droids finally had gotten the better of him? But this? "
You want us to create a flux designed for footballdroids?" I'Son could hardly believe it. This was
insanity. "Bleylock, Flux, no matter what kind or breed,is naturally present. You can't construct or
create it". Bleylock looked at him with a knowing smile, I'Son knew Bleylock well enough to realise
that Bleylock was aware that he had peeked his curiosity with this. "But what if it could happen
I'Son?" Bleylock looked at him with a knowing smile. I'Son knew this was a challenge, still thinking it
trough, he heard Labor in the distant, Labor was excited. I'Son knew, no matter how much doubt he
had in the project, he would join with Labnor for this. If not for anything else than Bleylock's
challenge. "Ok Bleylock,you convinced me,I'll give it a try". Bleylock smiled, a smile I'Son reckognized
as a vicorious had seen it before. Unwelcomed memories surfaced again.
Flashback*
He was standing in Bleylocks appartement, a young assistant who wanted to go away from planet
Technoid. Bleylock had the power to make it happen, or crush all hopes to get out of this prison.
Bleylock agreed to help,but only under certain conditions,conditions he presented to I'Son." I can
help you achieve all your goals, dreams and desires I'Son, you only need to tell me what they are, I
only ask one thing in return". Bleylock smiled a smile that made him feel really bad about what was
coming. Still, he had to ask " And what is that Bleylock?". Bleylock had stood up, walked around his
table,and over to him, gently placing hands on his face, and giving him a kiss. "The thing I want, is you
I'Son,you and you only".
flashback end*
" I'Son?" , Labnor's question brought him back to the here and now. He saw the worried expression
on his friends face. "It's nothing, I was just thinking". Even in his own ears, that excuse was wearing
thin. "Daydreamer" teased Labnor. " It's strange you get anything done, cause you seem to have your
head in the clouds most of the time". General Bleylock smiled what I'Son recoknized as a fake smile. "
He's a newlywed Labor, all they do in those days is thinking of their significant other" said Bleylock
and looked straight at I'Son. "How is that lovely wife of yours I'Son? I haven't seen much of any of
you since you relocated to a house outside the Technoid compond". I'Son sensed that none of
Bleylock's words truthfull. Bleylock were had been furious when I'Son had broken things off, in
favour of his wife to be. He had threatened to do all in his power to make I'Son pay for the
heartbreak he sufferd. I'Son had realised that Bleylock had taken things a lot more serious than him,
that the love Bleylock claimed to have had for him,was that of an obsessed person. Just too much of
everything. I'Son had cared about Bleylock, if not, there just had not been any good reason to go
trough the things he did. Sure it would have helped his career as a scientist, but even still. I'Son had
tried to whipe his mind clean of those memories ever since he left, but had proven unsuccessfull at
it. Now,once again faced with Bleylock,I'Son realised more than ever that he had not escaped when
he left the Technoid planet. Bleylock would never admit that off course,but what other reason, then
the need to be closer to him, would he have had to leave the office on the Technoid planet in favour
of Akillian? There had to be another explanation for it than the one Bleylock gave, and I'Son felt
rather confident he hit bullseye with his guess. But all the same, Bleylock needed to move on now,
forget about him,as it would never happen again.I'Son had sworn to it. He had long since moved
on,and so should Bleylock. I'Son thought that Bleylock attending his wedding would have sent a
message, but clearly it wasn't the case. Bleylock looked at him. " What do you think of this? I want to
hear from both of you". " It's exciting, this is a pioneering project, and if it's successful, it will change
the world". Labnor sounded like a kid on christmas eve, his eyes sparked with excitement over this
chance to do something that could boost his career beyond it's limits. "I'Son, what is your opinion on
this?" Bleylock's eyes watched him carefully, looking for any clues of uncertainty and hesitation.
I'Son met his gaze, " I'm not sure it can be done, but science is about always pushing yourself beyond
limits, what could not be done before, may just turn out possible today. The project does interests
me, so I'll see what I can do" I'Son's voice was firm, freed of doubt. Bleylock nodded in reckognition
of that. "Very Well Gentlemen, I'll see to it that the lab is fully equipped by tomorrow. I'd like for you
both to make a list of things you need to get this project started". Bleylock looked at I'Son again.
I'Son felt uneasy under Bleylock's gaze at him. There was something wrong with this picture, his
gutinstinct told him that much, now he just needed to figure that out. Bleylock handed both the
necessary forms, all to be signed in two copies. I'Son finished up, said goodbye to Labnor and drove
out of the Technoid compound, on his way home. In his office, Bleylock was watching as he left.
"You may think you got away I'Son, but I'm not trough with you. You 'll come back to me, one way or
another, you are my one and only, I will not let you go". Bleylock sat down on his chair behind the
desk, and found a disk wich he inserted in his machine. Up came a variety of pictures, pictures of him
and I'Son together, I'Son alone, I'Son with his wife..Bleylock had managed to obtain copies of all of
them. Then surfaced a picture he had taken of I'Son, after a night of passion. I'Son was sound asleep.
Bleylock carefully run his fingers across the image of I'Son's face. " I will get you back I'Son,
I need you".
" I'Son darling, is something wrong?", Niobe looked at her husband with a worried look. He had been
tensed ever since he came home from the meeting at Technoids headquaters on Akillian. He had met
her the same way he always did, with a warm kiss, and a hug, but she knew him. I'Son was like an
open book to her. She looked at him. Her husband was was the most beautiful man she had ever laid
eyes on. She still remembered her first date with him. I'Son had been nervous, but that had changed
so fast. They had so much in common, it hadn't been long until they were in love. It had happened so
fast. I'Son was one of the best things in life for Niobe. She had fallen in love with him, and the love
grew deeper and deeper. They had moved in together as fast as they could. I'Son always seemed to
feel bad about living in the technoid compound,so when they found their house outside the
compound, they had moved out. It had done I'Son well, he had started to relax more, and she saw
him smile more and more. He and his labpartner, Labnor, had started working on a top secret project
for Technoid a few months earlier. She could tell that I'Son felt uneasy with something, but she
would never ask him what he was working on, knowing he couldn't answer her. But she had seen the
look he and Labnor had exchanged when they invited him for dinner. Something bad was going
on,and it ate away at her husband. She had felt it when lying next to him in their bed at night, she
loved him so dearly, and seeing his struggle hurt her. Whenever she would look at him with
understanding, he'd hold her in his arms, and show his love for her in ways that made sure she never
doubted him on that. Now, she had been feeling unwell lately, and been to see the doctor. The news
had been surprising to her, but still filled her with hope ,she was hoping it would help I'Son get
through whatever stresses he was dealing with. They were well off financially, and could afford a
bigger house if it was needed. Niobe smiled when she tought of it. She loved I'Son so dearly, and
hoped to have a family with they were in the start of that." I'm fine Honey, it's work again". I'Son
hated to tell his wife this lie, but under no circumstances was he about to tell her of Bleylocks
advances towards him at the office. It had happened over and over,to the point that I'Son felt uneasy
with the idea of going to Bleylock's office alone. Today he had to. The progressreports on the project
was due, and to avoid rousing suspicion with Labnor, he had agreed to take them to Bleylock. That
had been a mistake, a big one. Bleylock had been overly pleased when he had come with the reports,
and had wasted no time making a move. I'Son had been disgusted with Bleylocks obvious intents
seduction. He had left Bleylock's office as soon as he could, but not without feeling bad to his
stomach. He had stopped on the side of the road on the way home to vomit. He knew Niobe picked
up on it. He couldn't hide it from her. He smiled reassuringly as he sat down at the kitchentable for
dinner." This smells fantastic honey, what have you cooked for us today?" he said with a smile and
went over to kiss her. She melted towards him, placing her arms around his neck, returning the kiss. "
Today it's an Akillian specialty, rainbowtrout with sweetpotatoes and sourcream", she smiled. They
sat down and plated up. I'Son looked at his wife. There was something different to her, not in a bad
way, just was almost glowing. " I went to see the doctors today honey" she said with a smile. " All is
well with my gorgeous wife I assume?" I'Son said jokingly to ease the tension he felt. " Oh yes, in fact
we are both fine". I'Son coughed, had he heard her right? " We?" he said confused. " Yes, the baby
and I are fine I'Son. We are to become a family of three in 7 months". I'Son was lost for words. This
had happened so fast. On one side, it scared him, having a child at this point really did. But it
pleased him. He was to become a father. He stood up and went over to his wife and gave her a deep
kiss, whilst gently placing his hands on her tummy. " This is fantastic news honey, I'm lost for
words..." I'Son smiled. A child. This was so much more than he had hoped for, tough it scared him, it
also struck him as good thing. He would have secured his future. They finished dinner,
and set the dishwasher to do the dishes, as Niobe and he went off to bed for the evening.
The months went by. Labor and I'Son were making progress on their project. Labnor had set up some
footballdroids in a next door room to check the synthetic flux they had developed on the robots. As
he rewiewed the reports, it became evident that they were on to curves on the screens showed it in
clear. I'Son knew that this was irrefutable proof of the excistense of Metaflux, a synthetic flux
designed for footballdroids. Lobnor was extatic. "My God, we did it" he was over himself with joy.
I'Son was more sceptic. He had a bad feeling about it all. As he was thinking, he turned his back on
his friend and partner. " I don't know why, but I fear that this success of ours is gonna cause us a lot
of trouble". I'Son worried about how long they could conceal the progress from Bleylock. He didn't
expect it to take long before Bleylock found out. His inquieries about the project had risen lately,
and I'Son had a clear feeling that this was bad. His feeling was to be confirmed that same day.
Bleylock came by the lab to inspect personally. I'Son froze when he saw Bleylock made a number out
of looking him up and down. But then Bleylock took an interest in the screens with the curves. "Very
good work gentlemen", said Bleylock and wonderd how soon the project could be completed. I'Son
saw no other way than to intervene. " We're not sure yet,but soon, we still got to run a few more
stability tests" he replied and even managed to say the words pretending to be smiling. "Good" said
Bleylock, but then he spoke more, words that made both I'Son and Labnor freeze. "Here's an
invention that the flux society won't like a bit, as the flux is untraceable, it could be used for military
purposes" Bleylock smiled an evil smile when he said that, making I'Son feel very uncomfortable.
"The flux society would see nothing but danger in it. But rest assured, that is not at all our
intentions". Somehow I'Son did not belive that. There was something about Bleylocks words made
the alarms go what. He exchanged looks with Labnor. Labnor looked terrified, like the truth had just
dawned on him. As soon as Bleylock had left, I 'Son turned to Labnor. The look of share terror was
evident in Labnor's eyes. I'Son knew, he felt the same. " We can't let the metaflux fall into Bleylocks
hands", it was Labnor that spoke. I'Son nodded. " We don't have enough time to get rid of it today"
I'Son knew that any kind of overtime would draw attention. I'Son walked over and made a few
adjustments on his screen. "There, I stopped the feeding on some key chemicals to the mix, that has
to be enough for now". I'Son spoke his thoughts out was terrified. "Do you realize that this could
start a new war I'Son? And to think we created this weapon..." Labnor sits down, he is terrified at the
possibillities of their invention. I'Son is seemingly relaxed, but a plan is starting to emerge in his head.
" We'll come in for work as normal tomorrow. I'll give you a call as soon as I got things taken care of",
said I'Son in a mild voice to calm his friend. With a look of fear on their faces, as reality of what they
have done sets in, I'Son and Labnor close down work for the day. Before he leaves, I'Son adds a few
security codes to his panels and computers, to prevent anyone from tampering with the research. He
looks at the Sphere. The innocently looking fludis in there are capabale of so much disaster. The two
friends lock up and then head home.
" Anyone at home?" I'Son snaps out of it and finds his wife looking at him. "I'Son, are you ok?" Niobe
asks, worried for her husbands well beeing. It's crystal clear that something is bothering him, and
I'Son knows he won't be able to lie to his wife about it, not this time. It was something that he hated
doing, and still, he had couldn't tell her about Bleylock, that would just cause more hurt than it was
worth, but the Metaflux...I'Son knew he had no choise but to break the code of silence and confide in
his wife. "No, no I'm not" he replied his worried wife, " I have to tell you something, you may come to
hate me for life for what I've done.." I'Son held in, not sure how to continue. Niobe sat down next to
him, locking her eyes in his. "Then tell me I'Son, and I'll decide what to think". I'Son tells, of the
project, his own and Labnor's naive attitude up till the point Bleylock made it clear to them what this
weapon could be used for. " We've been so naive honey, this could start a new war, I don't know
what Bleylock intends to do with it, but I feel certain it's not a good thing". Niobe nodds slowly. She
is now 8 months pregnant with the couple's already know it's a baby boy. "I'Son, you do what you
have to do to land this project safely", I'Son looks at her,he dreads asking this of her ,but he has to.
"Even if it means we have to leave everything behind?". "Even if" she replies and kisses his lips
gently. I'Son holds her gently in his arms,Niobe truly is his angel, loving and understanding. He almost
regrets having to let go, but they got things to do. Niobe starts packing, only the necessary things are
brought. I'Son is making some calls, and eventually finds a friend that is willing to agree to meet the
following day. As soon as that is taken care of, I'Son makes a call to Labnor and involves him in his
plan. Labnor agrees that I'Son's plan has the best chance of succeeding. They say good night and
head to bed.
Everything looks the same at the Technoid labs as I'Son and Labnor punch in the next day. Both are
doing their best to conceal their nerves. Will this plan work, and will they get the metaflux to a place
where they safely can destroy it? They enter the lab and dress up as to be going to work. I'Son
punches a series of codes in on the control panels to allow him to take the sphere containing the
liquid out of the protective enviroment it's in. The two look at eachother, they realise the danger and
possibillity they won't meet again afterwards. "it's been a pleasure working with you I'Son", I'Son
smiles back at his friend. "The same to you Labnor". A small hissing sound indicates that the sphere
can now be taken. I'Son carefully reach for it, but in the instant he removes it from where it sits, the
room goes red and alarms can be heard. I'Son wastes no time, he grabs the sphere and orders Labnor
to follow him. The two men run towards the excits as doors start to shut close. I'Son knows the exact
time frame before the entire facility will be locked down, and their escape made impossible. He runs
towards the last door... just a few meters left, he barely makes it before the glass door is shut. He
turns, and faces his friend on the other side of the now closed door. I'Son is wasn't supposed to
happen. He places his hand on the glass door, and Labnor signals him to move on. It's enough that
one of them was cought, no need for it to happen to them both. I'Son understands. He leaves his old
friend, and gets out. He sees Niobe waiting in the car in the also notices that he's alone and knows
something must have gone wrong. I'Son quickly gets into the drivers seat and takes of. All too soon
he notices the technoid ships on his tail. I'Son tries to outrun them, but the ship comes under heavy
fire. An explosion rocks the ship. I'Son hastely looks at the damage report. They'll still get a little bit
of the distance makes the call to go for it. He glances over at his wife. Niobe is in serious pain, holding
her hands protectively over her tummy. When she notices I'Son's worried look, she smiles back at
him, as to assure him that she will be fine. "Hold on honey, it's gonna be a rough landing" I'Son warns
her before their ship hit the ground hard and is thrown forward. I'Son opens the door to the wreck
and carries his beloved seems to be unconsious." Honey? Honey? Answer me" I'Son tries to get in
touch with her and finally, she turns her head and looks at him with a smile. A ship lands nearby.
"I'Son?" I'Son stands up as someone calls out his name. An unadarian appears. "It's only me I' were
supposed to meet remember? Do you have the Metaflux?" the other man asks.
I'Son places his hand to his shoulder. "put my wife in your ship and be ready to take off, and take
care of her", I'Son re-enters the wrecked ship and by pushing a few boxes to the side, he recovers the
one containing the sphere. Meanwhile the unadarian helps Niobe on board. But just as they're ready
for takeoff, the technoid ships catch up with them. The unadarian looks out "I'm sorry I'Son" as he
tries to escape the heavy technoid fire. As I'son surfaces from the wreck, he is made a helpless
witness to the ship carrying his wife and unborn child is shot down. I'Son sinks to his knees, unable to
take inn what just happened." Oh my god, it can't possibly be.." says the grief struck professor. But
then the technoid fire turns, targeting him. I'Son accidentally drops the sphere wich rolls towards the
edge of the building. Realising the disaster this could cause I'Son gives chase. He nearly reaches it,
but trips and falls. The sphere rolls over the edge. "NOOOOOOOOOO" I'Son knows there is no turning
disaster is very real all of a sudden. He can't hear it when the sphere hits the ground, but within a
split second, a great beam of light spreads from ground level and up. The light is bliztering. I'Son
closes his eyes in horror. It's too unreal to take in. Then, as he looks up, he can feel a freeze, and
the first snowflakes fall. Akillian has shifted it's axis, and the planet is in the process to glaciate. A
plan to save the world from yet another fluxwar has turned into horror, costing the lives of many.
I'Son threw his arms around himself, it started to get made it down to ground level and disappeares
in the masses.
This is chapter one of one of the most intreaguing stories found in the series. I hope it fell
To your taste .I have tried to stay as close to all known facts of Sonny's story. It is gonna take time to
complete this story, because of it's timespan, so bare with me. I'll post as soon as I got a new
chapter ready and the writers block does permit me to finish up. Do please rewiew.
