CHAPTER II
Not knowing what to do next, Alex turned and started back toward his home. At first, he started out at a slow pace. Then, realizing he could do so, he ran at an incredibly fast speed. He then started to rise slowly without realizing it. After a few seconds, he'd noticed he had passed up his home, but he couldn't stop. He looked down as if to see what the problem was, and saw that he wasn't running anymore, but rather flying. Amazed, he tried to control his new found power. Alex felt a burst of power, and as if knowing what to do, he flew up towards the clouds with awesome speed.
Alex then began to soar back downward, but feeling he still had power to spare. Alex lifted up his hand, and felt something beginning to come out of it. As he looked at it, he saw that a yellow light clung to his hand. He frantically tried to shake it off, but could not for some strange reason. Finally, he pushed it out of him, in a way he thought not possible. Seconds later, he heard a low noise and looked down. Alex watched with shock as a big cloud of smoke rose from the road below him, and a semi truck was turned over. He was so shocked he had forgotten he was still in mid air, and shouted, "Oops!!" Never feeling better, he descended downwards, and found himself at home again.
"Lets not do that again, shall we?" said a surprisingly deep voice. Alex turned, and saw someone, no, something that looked almost like he did, but in a strange way, did not. He couldn't see all of him, but a shadow of him. Alex, still startled, said, "Sorry?" The Man replied, "My father made a good choice. "excuse me? Your father?" Replied Alex. "Oh yes, I almost forgot, I am Sparta, Son of Spawn." Alex opened his mouth to talk. Sparta held up his hand, and said, "You might want to go back to normal." Alex, confused, replied, "what?" Sparta realized he hadn't yet shown him how. "relax, and picture yourself without the armor." Alex shook his head and closed his eyes.
At first, he felt the soothing sensation again, but then a piercing pain, as his wings grew back into him, and the black liquid faded in a series of ways. Watching as Alex fell to the floor in pain, Sparta said, "It'll take time to get used to, but when you do.." "Yeah, I bet" Alex winced.
"Now," Said Sparta. We need to talk. Sparta stepped out of the shadow and into the street light. Alex almost shouted at what he saw. Sparta was tall, and built, like Alex, but with a suit of armor like his, except, his was red. Alex saw that he had black wings, and a silver mask like his. "I," said Sparta, "Am a guardian. And, as of today, so are you." Guardians, are sword to protect earth from oncoming evil, and are only introduced to their powers, when it is present, or threatening something. We," Alex blurted out, "We?" "Ah yes, there are more than just you and I, many more. Though they are not on this planet, they strive to protect, just like we do." "Ok, ok, so what is up with this protect thing?" Alex said rudely. "Well, If we do not protect, our race will be destroyed or taken over. Though it is not certain why, this evil is trying to find something, or someone. Their Master, who we do not yet know, is leading his army to destroy us. We believe that that same army, will arrive on earth in a matter of weeks."
"Wait, wait, so you are saying that you and I are supposed to defend the earth against an army? Might I remind you I have no clue what I am doing!" "not quite. We must wait for 3 others. One of which, is already on his way here to help us in this struggle. His name is Gohan, Descendant of Goku. He is a very powerful Super Saiyan." "Super Saiyan?" Replied Alex. "I will explain later. Get some rest, and meet me in the morning." said Sparta. "Wait!" Shouted Alex. "I don't know where to meet you." "You will." Sparta replied.
