Chapter 2
I know that I made mistakes on the first chapter, but I will show more character development with some of the newer ones and hopefully the events will be more descriptive.
Michael and Rena were seen as young childhood friends many years back in their hometown of New York City, New York, playing in the yard, running around using their blanket as capes.
They spent a lot of time reading Superman comics at home, wondering what life is like as a superhero. Rena spends time at Michael's house since her parents are always absent due to work. One day, Michael's parents decided to join the kids in watching Superman cartoons on TV.
Michael's mother saw her both Rena and her son's admiration for Superman. "Do you both want to become heroes when you grow up?"
"Yes, I do!" Michael replied almost immediately with excitement.
"I want to become a hero so I can protect everyone I care about." Rena jumps to the couch and then to the floor attempting to fly.
"Superman isn't real, but a hero is. If you promised to work hard and care about others more than yourself then this dream can be achieved by the two of you. No matter what you both want to grow up to be, just remember I will always be proud." Michael's father grabbed the two children and placed them on his lap as they watch the cartoon.
Later, when Michael and Rena were playing in the yard, Rena grabbed Michael's shoulder. "Michael, do you really want to become a hero?"
"More than anything else." He raises his arms out of excitement, showing Rena that he is serious.
"Then let's make a promise that we will become heroes when we grow up." Rena sticks out her pinky.
Michael happily accepts her pinky promise. "Let's both try our hardest and maybe we can become like Superman." They both nodded and continue playing.
As years go by, Michael and Rena realizes who the heroes of the real world are and volunteered in police stations and fire stations in hopes to become one of them.
One day, the Forever Knights began raiding their neighborhood for possible alien tech. They spotted Michael and Rena making a run and began to chase them.
When the Forever Knights almost catch them within an inch of their palms, Humungousaur shows up in front of them and drove the Forever Knights away from the neighborhood. Michael and Rena witness the giant humanoid dinosaur transform back to Ben Tennyson.
"You two alright?" Ben turns to Michael and Rena.
"Yes, thank you for saving us." Rena gave a big smile to Ben, earning slight jealousy from Michael. "It's what the Plumbers do, we risk our lives to fight and protect the innocent." He then flies off as Jetray into the night sky.
With Michael and Rena's admiration changing towards to Ben, they both vow to become Plumbers themselves, no matter what role they get.
Back in the present day, four days after the attack, Plumber scientists work feverishly in a base located somewhere in the Ocala National Forest in Florida to create a new weapon to counteract TSAB defenses. Since TSAB often protect themselves using energy fields, using Clayton's knowledge as a former Mid-Childan, they create a new weapon they called Field Seekers, probes that degenerates defense fields upon contact.
The code breakers were able to gather information from the prisoners and details were revealed to the Plumber superiors, and eventually to the marines.
It was revealed that the TSAB are currently in a secret underground mission to expand their organization to Earth by monopolizing the planet to have it administrated and that the Plumbers on Earth were an obstacle in their way and wants them disbanded or out of the way, which led to the attack in Death Valley, California. The perpetrator and reasons remain unknown as the prisoners were doing nothing more than following orders, believing that it is for the sake of the TSAB.
Although they have plenty of armor, ammo, guns, and ships, the Plumbers face a shortage of armored fighting vehicles and requested most of the Western powers for them. Most accepted that request and within a day, many combat vehicles, weapons, and several different types of tanks were delivered.
While Michael, Rena, John, Chris and many other soldiers monitor the deliveries, Toby and Jen approached Clayton with astonishment.
"Dude, are we actually going to use all of this in battle? If we are, Awesome!"
"Yes private, all of this will be used in battle." Clayton continues drawing plans on the map of Mid-Childa as Jen walks closer towards him.
"Do you think we really need all of this? We might mistakenly do more damage to the planet than necessary."
"Doesn't hurt to have back up when you need them. Knowing the enemy's high use of magic, we are going to need all the help that we can get."
With permission from NASA, all the Plumber battleships were set on launching pads located in multiple fields of the Kennedy Space Center as well as the other Plumber bases.
Plumbers from other parts of Earth soon join the main forces in Florida to help with the preparations. The Plumber forces taking part in battle now number up to 6 million scattered in multiple bases where the ships are scheduled to launch.
After all the preparations were made, Clayton calls for a meeting at one of the launching sites where about 5,000 Plumbers attended, with others listening through broadcasts. Clayton then makes his way to the podium.
"Good afternoon everyone, in less than a day, we are going to take part in what could possibly be the most dangerous battle in Plumber history. The attack by the TSAB that brought all of us here is a tragedy for everyone, but if the attack was meant to split us apart as a group, they have failed. Instead we are brought closer to honor our history for a common cause. Though others and me will lead, we cannot guarantee survival to all of you, but we have to remember why we are here and what we are fighting for. They said that they will be taking Earth, but they didn't realize that after the attack all of us have spoken in one voice saying that we will not back down and Earth will never be forsaken. No doubt that we will be fighting a tough and determined enemy, but with all of us fighting together for the same reason, Earth shall survive and we shall succeed, because Earth is our home!"
Clayton's brief speech was met with a loud and standing ovation with soldiers rushing through their own personal preparations for battle.
The next day, more than 400,000 ships, both militant and supply ships, are set in launching positions.
Large crowds surrounds almost all the fields to watch the scheduled launch with many others watching from their homes.
Magister Korwak, Magister Hulka, and several other Plumber superiors approach Clayton before he enters his ship.
"Clayton, all of our soldiers here shall be entrusted under your command, but if you ever need help we will be more than happy to offer assistance." Magister Korwak offers to shake hands, which Clayton accepts.
Azmuth suddenly appears on the stairway of Clayton's ship, receiving the news of the upcoming war.
"Sorry to interrupt your near departure, but I must warn you captain that I know of the grudge you have against the TSAB. As important as this battle is don't let your emotions get the best of you or otherwise one mistake can turn the tide of the whole war against us."
"Don't worry Azmuth. Right now all that matters to me is to lead this men, because it is my responsibility to keep as many of them alive. Every person counts in this battle and I will gladly risk my life to protect them."
Clayton passes Azmuth as he moves to the ship.
"You also have to remember that you lead these soldiers so don't unnecessarily put yourself at risk." Azmuth then teleports back to Galvan Prime as the ship's door closes.
The ships begin to launch as the crowds loudly cheer and pray for them to come back victorious.
As soon as they leave the Earth's atmosphere, they were joined by over 2 million other Plumber ships from other galaxies before they disburse to go to their targeted planets, with Earth aiming straight for Mid-Childa.
"Are you guys ready, because once we reach Mid-Childa, there is no turning back." Clayton warned his new marines, knowing that this is the first time taking part in a real conflict.
Toby prepares his laser machine gun. "Bring it on!"
"They attack us, we attack back." Chris becomes excited as John becomes worried.
Jen, Michael, and Rena went to the 1st and 2nd lieutenants of each team to prepare battle strategies once they land.
Within a few hours thanks to the ships traveling in hyper space, they finally reach the destination to disburse. Mid-Childa was spotted within half an hour. With the Earth's Plumber forces finally closing in on the planet. The battle has finally begun.
I know that some of you would have probably thought that the battle would begin in this chapter, but I needed to make sure it all fits. See you in the next chapter.
