Opener: Um so three parter maybe. There's a DJ storyline, a Nicia, Brittany and Makenna one. Then a Centurion and Young Guardians one that starts to build on the plot. So three parter yes no maybe so? Alright let's get this show on the road, queue the theme song!
We cut to a busy command center, sloping down like a theater audience. A top the ramp stands Telepath fully geared up without his helmet. His suit dressed with a t is now He stares out the ginormous clear glass pane window that rest at the opposite end of the ramp exposing the bright blue afternoon sky above the clouds.
"Hey DJ you alright?" Warbird interrupts his trancelike state of pondering also without her helmet on. He's taken off guard by the intrusion.
"Umm...umm yeah I'm fine." He answers with a confused voice as he turns to see Chris' axe set into stone resting on an elevated shelf looking down on the command center.
The Guardian Force are in the middle of their weekly meeting. In attendance are the original members and the Centurions. All gathered around a new version of the Guardians old round table.
"Tech is the upgraded guard rail set up around the perimeter? The last thing we need is another student falling of this floating Island." Assassin explains. The entire room immediately looks toward an unmasked Supersonic.
He blushes from all of the attention. "Hey if I remember correctly I learned how to fly while falling to my doom."
"Luck what's the probability that one of the students will fall off the Island again. With and without the guardrail?" Telepath ask the twenty something year old Centurion.
"Exactly eighty three point fifty three percent. Without the rail. Twelve percent with the rail." Luck answers quickly. His ability is probability analysis allowing him to calculate probability and make precise measurements with exact accuracy.
"Not bad, and Energon how far along are the Young Guardians from being combat ready? Excluding the students who do not want to graduate to become a full members?" Archer ask the android.
Energon types on the keyboard from his seat on the table, and projects the statistics for the first Young Guardian class. Four files appear each paired with a picture, the name, and code name of the upcoming Guardians.
The first reads off as Jonathan Lazaro A.K.A Morph. The next text states the name Sarah Ray Harper, A.K.A Shrink. The next profile follows with Kyle Sims, A.K.A Stick. The final form reads Faith Gorkhali A.K.A. Ultraviolet.
"To be frank, they've been ready for over a week. It is you that is not ready for them to be assigned combat missions. " Energon states. With that the room becomes silent. A small clunk can be heard from the lead command station. The others turn only to find a small red ink pen. DJ walks over to it and stares at it for a little while. He finally picks it up and throws it across the room. Before it can hit the ground the pen transforms into a super bouncy ball. Sporadically springing through the command center. Finally transforming into a boy.
"Hey man give a guy a warning next time." Morph says while rubbing his head. He is dressed in a basic red and black tactical training suit similar to Telepaths first outfit.
"All you can come out now." Energon says. The others soon appear, Stick uncamouflages and appears clinging to the ceiling. Boasting a simple black and green training outfit. His skin is a pale green resembling a frog. His abilities include any and all properties of amphibians. This includes camouflage, poisonous skin, the ability to squirt blood from his eyes, and throwable thorns.
Shrink leaps from in between the electrical ports on the console of the round meeting table. While in mid air she grows back to her normal size. Ultraviolet simultaneously appears from a dark corner of the hun. She was able to bend the light around her body and make it appear as if she was invisible.
"You guys are no fun!" Shrink says. Energon grabs her by the arm and pulls a pistol from her waist holster.
"Where did you get this? Who gave you this? Who gives a gun to a sixth grader?" Energon roars. Luck immediate goes stiff and nonchalantly rushes out of the command center.
"Luck I told you to stop giving guns to our children!" Energon shouts and chases after him. All of the Guardians burst into laughter except our main five heroes.
"Did you see that DJ I made or a whole 10 minutes without being sported." Morph proudly announces to his mentor.
"Yeah that's great Morph." He says as his voice trails off; it is clear that his mind is elsewhere and his eyes turn the screen imbedded into his forearm guard.
"Hey there's something going on down there at the school. You want to go check it out Kenz?" DJ asks.
"Yeah sure but why do you need me." She answers.
"200 year old bisexual magician." DJ says with a sly smile.
"Oh my God let's go now!" She replies with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning. They rush out of the command center into the tubular exit door to quickly undress.
Back at the school Makenna and DJ reach the main hall to find a winged figure creating magical sparks for the amusement of the students and faculty. He briefly flips several students upside down with the wave of his hands.
"Magnus Ragnar Ithuriel Bane Fell." DJ slowly says. "Never thought I would see that hideous shirt you always wear again. Magnus slowly turns around with a smirk on his face revealing his catlike animated golden iris'. His hair is a silky deep black framing his angelic face. His shirt displays a bleeding red heart on a white backdrop. And a blue trench coat.
"Donovan Johnson never thought I'd see your goofy grin ever again." He replies in a old fashioned European accent. The two laugh at one another while sharing a lingering hug.
"I see you've got yourself a new sidekick, and this one's much prettier than the old one." Magnus jest. " Magnus Bane, is a pleasure." He adds introducing himself with a kiss of Makenna's hand, who blushes from the affection.
"This is Makenna my…" He pauses and takes a look and Makenna as the two lock eyes once again. "One of my teammates. What exactly is it that you want Magnus? You never show up unless you want something." He says with a stern face.
"Why nothing at all old friend. Can't one not just arrive for a visit? This is purely a visit nothing more, I swear on God's name." He says as he puts his hand on his heart.
"Yeah we both know that he won't accept it. So what do you want?"
"I sure he won't be willing to accept your either."
"Well he knows that my heart is pure unlike yours."
"Though that may have been the case awhile back that surely isn't the case these days. No, no, no old friend these days haven't been kind to you have they? It doesn't take a telepath to see that, now does?"
"But enough of the small talk, aren't you going to invite me onto that spiffy little island of yours." Magnus continues.
We cut to our remaining Guardians atop the floating Island. A loud bell blares through the entire base signaling that one of the vehicles has left the hanger and is headed back down to the ground.
"Damn it those kids really get on my nerves." Luck yells as he and the other Centurions race to the hangar and quickly depart after the runaway students.
The other Guardians this is includes Archer, Shadow, and Assassin are all roaming the base. Out of nowhere a teen crashes through the ceiling of the lounge. Dressed in a nomadic rope of teal and black. His eyes are a vivid hazel, with hair black as night complemented by his tan skin.
"Hey, what the fuck! How'd you even get up here!" Archer shouts while rushing the foe. After a brief session of hand to hand combat Archer is pushed back. Shadow phases through a wall and launches toward the new enemy, who raises his hand and sends a devastating burst of fire towards her. She manages to escape the blast allowing the foe to dart through the school riding a ball of condensed air; knocking over several kids in the process. He makes his way into the courtyard.
He's intercepted by a leaping Assassin, who tackles him and sends both of them hurling to the ground. The figure manages to stand once more. Archer soon comes to the aid of his fellow teammate.
"Really didn't want to do but you leave me no choice." Archer begins. He raises his hands with a deep breath and clutches his index and middle finger together. He exhales and opens hi sunshine eyes. A flash of blue lighting streaks across his iris'. Then hurls a devastating streak of lightning towards their attacker. The intruder takes in the electricity and redirects it back at Archer, who directs the blast into the sky. Shadow appears from the nearest wall and takes a stance next to the others.
The attacker takes a stance in front of a stylized stone fountain while the others join the fray. With a powerful kick he sends a mound of Earth speeding toward the Guardians, trapping them in place. Finally he forces all of the water from the fountain into a ginormous wave engulfing the heroes and quickly transforming into solid ice. Only allowing their head to remain unfrozen.
In that moment a dazzling bright purple portal appears in the courtyard. Out steps DJ, Magnus and Makenna. Magnus recognizing the attacker conjures construct chains and shackles. He manages to capture the foe into the chains, first his arms then his legs.
"This ain't over sorcerer!" The attacher shouts down from his suspension in mid air.
"Oh I think it is Bender!" Magnus replies the shackles suppress his bending ability thawing the Guardians.
"Hey, hey guys let him go. You idiots, is that anyway to treat friends. Magnus let him go, and Elementor calm down these are my friends." DJ commands. Magnus releases Elementor.
"Thank you, alright now that everyone has gotten all of that out of their system. Everyone this is Magnus and Elementor. They are old friends of mine. So everyone calm down we're all friends here; well everyone except Magnus. He can be kind of antagonizing at points." DJ announces.
"Sorry for attacking you all but I have urgent news DJ." Elementor says.
"It's no problem just goes to show how rusty we've gotten. What is it Tanner?" DJ asks Elementor whose birth name is Tanner Fenton.
"The temple has fallen. The inhabitants imprisoned." Elementor announces. With a furious look the two take off the command center in a heated rage; prompting the others to follow.
"How did this happen?"
"I wish to know as well."
"We have to leave immediately." The two decide now in the command center.
"Wait what is happening?" Brittany questions.
"Allow me to elaborate. You see the temple is home of the Benders and their magic. The Benders powers themselves are not magic based, though it is similar to mgic. This ability allows for each and every one of them access to manipulate the four basic elements, air, water, Earth and fire. The temple itself is the last of its kind. They rest atop floating islands such as these. As long as there is one temple intact it can keep the dozens of other floating but if the temple falls. It can rupture the entire magical grid causing a massive magical power outage. Effecting yours truly. Also sending dozens of giant islands hurling towards Earth thus ending us all.
"You catch any of that?" Ethan ask Makenna.
"Bits and pieces." She replies. Just then the alarms sounds signaling an Alpha attack down in the city. DJ rushes to the main console to pull up a video feed of Theo criminals robbing a bank.
"Justice and Ghost." Archer says with a low growl. He balls up his fist in rage at the site of the criminal duo.
"Alright let's get the Centurions on this." DJ commands.
"They left out chasing the Young Guardians."
"Well shit. We may be spread thin but this isn't anything we can't handle. I need Magnus and Archer on these two. Now they're crafty keep your guard up."
"Since when in the hell did I start working for you?" Magnus interjects.
"Since you stepped foot on our Island jackass. Shadow, Assassin, Warbird, I want you guys to head to Canada. There's a new breed of Danger Beast out there and are killing of and hunting humans. I want you to take them out." DJ continues.
"No problem." Shadow shouts with glee.
"Me and Elementor are going to head off for a bit. Nicia listen, if we don't make it back I need you to…"
"Say no more I got it." Assassin interrupts.
"Alright and students I need you all to stay inside the base tonight. I don't want you guys wondering around the Island at night. Let's do this, Guardians Go!" He finishes. The teams split up and head out placing on their helmets and mask.
"Hey Magnus you never answered my question. What do you want?" Telepath continues as Elementor, Telepath, and Magnus stand leaning on the wall hanging over the rest of the ramp.
"You know sometimes I think after all of these years the fighting and protecting is it really worth it to keep fighting and ignore the things that really matter. Love, friendship, family. Them I turn on the t.v. and see that the world is messed up now more than it has even been.
With aliens invading, new species of animals popping up like weeds. An entire race of people sprung up out of nowhere. A new team of heroes trying their hardest to protect the world they love while trying to guide it into the future. Kids all of them just kids. Is it worth it truly, all of the constant fighting and death. Sometimes I think it would be best if we all just strike a match and set the world on fire. To answer your question I want to figure out if it's worth it." Magnus says.
"The thing is the world has always been messed up and crazy. I found that out along time ago. Maybe it's us that are the solution to fixing it. But I guess we are all trying to figure that out is it really worth it." DJ adds.
"I believe in the coming days, months, years even we will find out for sure. But it's going to be the toughest challenge we have ever faced. But I'm afraid we may be the very things eating away at the world. For the universe, is not done with us yet. I don't think it will ever be, we will just have to wait and see my old friends." Elementor adds.
"Just wait and see." DJ echoes as the three turn to Chris's axe and look up to admire his sacrifice, while his red eyes flash a quick glimmer of green.
The End. Next Chapter: All I Want is a Place to Call My Own.
Things took a turn there didn't they. That's gonna happen a lot from now on the tone will shift a bit from where the chapter started. Don't worry the fun will still be there. The next chapter serves as a perfect intro to the Young Guardians and delve deep into the Alphas relationship with the public. It may get a bit dark, some prejudice, rape, child abuse weaved into it. Again it will have lighter moments but have heavy topics discussed and brought up. Prepare for all of the feels.
On the topic of characters we get to see six new ones, Elementor, Magnus, Stick, Shrink, Morph and Ultraviolet. Magnus and Elementor burst open the door for all out magic and element bending Avatar style. And allows for another world to be opened and explored. The Young Guardians are honestly there to lighten up the mood a bit. Add hijinks and adventures and they will have meaningful ish arcs. And when we time jump and kill off characters the void can be filled with new members and a rotating cast. Shit these are long author's note fuck.
Also the bomb didn't turn everyone into Alphas just some. Our Guardians are in a rough place, DJ is depressed and frustrated trying to figure out what's best for his people, Ethan loses someone close to him. Brittany's loyalties get tested. Nicia has become even more cold and distant. And Makenna is just trying to keep everyone from jumping off a cliff. Keep in mind these guys are only in the seventh grade damn. That one month was not kind to them also not all of this happened in a month a few things did tho. Oh and these next few chapters take place in the same day yeah that's how we roll now, we haven't even introd the villains yet oh God.
