Chapter 1

It was dark. It was night and all was quiet as a single, lone figure walked through the abandoned buildings of a once thriving city that now stood as fragmented ruins, claimed by the plants and animals. This figure was a female sporting a purple tank top, fingerless gloves, green Capri pants with a hole in the knee area of one of the legs, and a black scarf wrapped around her head covering her raven black hair and neck. Her name is Celeste, Celeste Taylor Worthington II and tonight was like no other for her; she patrols the ruins to make sure no one tried to sneak in or out. You would think Celeste was being a little too over protective of these ruins, but these ruins hold a much deeper meaning to her, which we will get into later.

For 3 years Celeste has been stranded on the planet Eldora, hoping someone will come to take her off this planet. Sure people came and went, but Celeste always found herself staying on Eldora and watch all those people fly off into the stars. 'Why does she keep staying on Eldora?' you ask. No matter how long she thinks about leaving or not, there is this voice in her head saying Patient; you will get off this planet but you must wait. Your destiny will come to you. 'But when?' Celeste always asks, but the voice never answers back.

Reaching the end of the ruins, Celeste takes a detour and hikes up to the cliff overlooking the sea. She listens to the sound of the waves as they crash against the rocks. She can't stop thinking about two things: The violet quasar saber and Scorpius. She remembers the day she developed her grudge toward Scorpius.

Flashback

Celeste could hear people screaming, as they were running here and there, trying to get away from these…. well, they looked like overgrown horse flies only they could walk on two legs. She tried looking for anyone that could be helped, but the bodies kept pilling up as more explosions were heard. She wanted to make sure her family was safe, but saw no sign of her mom or dad. As she was trying to see if any of the bodies were familiar, some of those fly troops spotted her and gave chase. She turned a corner and bumped into someone, knocking her to the ground. She saw that she bumped into a hideous monster that looked like a fish and had a sword in one hand.

"Lost little girlie?" it asked, as it stood towering over her.

"None of your business, fish breath!" she shouted

"Ho Ho, tough little chick are we?" it laughed as it grabbed her by back of her neck

"Ah!" Celeste yelped as she pawed trying to get free.

"Perhaps, my master could put you to good use."

"NO, let me go!" she shouted but some of the flies came up behind her and gagged her.

"Leave her alone, ugly!"

Celeste gasped 'No it couldn't be! 'but she saw that it was. A teenaged boy came rushing toward them with a gun in his hand. This boy was Ethan Handel, Celeste's best friend since she was young.

"Oh so scared, what are you going to do with your scary gun, little boy?" laughed the monster

"Let her go" said Ethan

"Why? I think it would be better if she came with us and besides you wouldn't hurt me if I was holding her now would you?!"

The monster did have a point, but Ethan wouldn't lower the gun. Celeste could do nothing except stand and watch the face off between the two. All of a sudden, a blast rang out and hit Ethan, he stood there with his mouth opened as his whole body tensed up.

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Celeste screamed as Ethan fell to the ground and lay motionless, never to breathe again.

Celeste tried to reach Ethan, but the monster struck her and everything went black.

When Celeste woke up, she was chained to the wall and was kept there for almost a whole year. She had been tortured, starved, and was even forced to relive the scene of Ethan's death for reasons she never knew and she never thought she would make it out. As you can tell though, she was able to escape. When she returned to Eldora, these ruins were all that remained here. She was now all alone; a survivor, escapee, and outcast. All she had was the clothes on her back, all the memories of both death and torture, the scars to prove it, and a torn page of an old book. On the page was a sword, but the lettering on the page was not of any language Celeste knew about. One night, she had a weird dream.

Celeste was walking through the wood; all was quiet until she heard a voice.

"Come, come" she heard

"Who's there? Show yourself!"

But, the voice kept saying 'Come', so Celeste followed it until she came to a hill that over looked the whole forest. She stood there admiring the scenery and wondering who was calling her.

Then, she saw a light in the distance. It started shining again and again. Celeste was wondering what could be there.

"Follow the light, Dear Child. Find the sacred blade, but beware of the monster that too seeks the blade."

Then, Celeste woke up and she knew immediately she had to find the blade before Scorpius. She walked in the woods for a long time until she came to a rock cliff and it was then that she saw the light in her dreams. She went to the spot and there-in between some trees- was a sword stuck in a stone.

"Pull the sword, use its power" she heard the voice say

Celeste walked up to the sword, grasped its hilt tight in her hands, and pulled the sword free. She felt a burst of energy flow through her body.

"I am so glad you found it for us"

Celeste turned around fast and saw Furio, Scorpius's general, and Trakeena, Scorpius's daughter, standing there with triumphant smile on their faces.

"Now, if you could just hand over the saber, there won't be any trouble"

"No, this is my saber, Lemonhead and you can't have! Get your own saber!" said Celeste getting the sword away from Furio's reach.

"Then suffer the same fate as your friend!" shouted Trakeena raising her staff to shoot, but nothing happened, no power came out of her staff.

"What's with this staff? I can't get it to work?!"

"Ah, you weren't really much help" said Furio as he charged at Celeste with his sword raised to strike her.

Celeste raised the saber to block Furio's attack, when the two sabers collided, Furio's sword blade broke off!

"What?" said Furio, looking at his destroyed sword.

Then light surrounded Celeste. When it died down, Celeste was wearing a violet colored spandex suit with a helmet covering her head and face. Thanks to her new powers, Celeste was able to send Furio, Trakeena, and the Stingwingers retreating. She then turned to the sky.

"You see that, Scorpius? I know have the weapon and power to destroy you! I promise you, we will meet again and then you will pay! For this saber, I will use it to destroy Scorpius, Trakeena, and everyone else who bows before him!"

End of Flashback

So now that you know about Celeste's past, she still has kept that promise to settle her score with Scorpius, someday. Celeste stood there for a long time on the cliff until decided she needed a drink. She went to a stream to get some water, but as she was doing so, she started to feel dizzy and weak.

Oh, not now Celeste thought as she rummaged through her bag and realized she forgot her medicine at her camp site. She then lied on the ground to rest until she was feeling better, she immediately fell asleep. She was unaware of the sound of a Heliship landing near or that a figure was watching all this from the bushes.

"It is time" it said.
