The Heroes Requiem
"We are gathered here today to honor the fallen comrade, friend and brother; we are gathered here today to honour ALL-STAR" the priest spoke. Those gathered bowed their heads in mourning, a show of unity to help all those near them.
"ALL-STAR was a hero of the highest Caliber; a mentor, a counselor, a brother and a friend, my name is Black Knight and I was one of the few privileged enough to call him a brother. The first time we meet, we clashed, we fought and we triumphed, a plot was in place to destroy the world and we stopped it" the armored figure explained, his tone blank, but to those who knew him he was hurting for the man he called brother.
"My Name is Bastet, and I was Fortunate enough to have been with ALL-STAR for a short while and even though we split, he was always polite and honorable with me. Though we disagreed on many things we both agreed on the things that mattered most, so I say rest in pace my friend, rest in Peace" the woman clad in an Egyptian garment spoke somberly.
"Good Day my Colleges, my name is Offworlder, and like Black Knight, I was one of the few privileged enough to call ALL-STAR a brother. Our meeting was one of mutual rescuing, for we saved each other form a tyrant who wanted to use our powers to rule this universe." A yellow skinned man spoke, his monotone voice carrying a heavy almost unbearable amount of mourning.
"Hello Friends my name is Speedster, I was the last to meet ALL-STAR and yet it feels like we grew up together, he was a confidant and mentor when I needed them and a brother when I was weakened, I will always remember the time we would run around the world racing against the clock or each other as a dare, so thank you big brother for the time you always had for me" the man clad in green and black spoke his voice soft his tone sad.
None approached after the youngest hero stepped down, the father spoke some more words, speaking about how death was but an adventure and that while ALL-STAR will be missed he will not be forgotten or tarnished.
The service was over, the people dispersed, the heroes gathered and retreated. Tonight was a night where only the worst of criminals were out, for everyone respected ALL-STAR. The heroes patrolled till the early hours of the morning, then retreated to the headquarters.
"A toast, to fallen friend, comrade and brother, a toast to ALL-STAR" Black Knight spoke, the dark warrior was somber, his loss the most tragic, to all those who knew; they were the original heroes. The one's who inspired a generation to believe in and defend Justice.
"Here, Here!" the others spoke, all of them holding a drink, whether it was alcoholic or not was irrelevant, the heroes drank their chosen beverage in one gulp after clinking glasses. The peaceful and relaxed atmosphere remained undisturbed for the rest of the night.
