Chapter 2-The Story of the Verean

Sarah Jane Sat the three teenagers on a couch she had placed in front of Mr Smith an herself in her armchair "now this is a very complex story so listen closely and don't interrupt " they all nodded "ok Mr Smith you can start now"

The gigantic super computer started up and began to come out of the wall.

"The Verean and the Guardians, Hundreds of thousands years ago in a universe much different from our own, was eternal peace and all seemed happy and there was no suffering, at least it seemed that way but before long enemies of peace started a war against all that lived until all was lost, everybody lost, an entire universe in flames, and out of all the billions and billions of galaxies, planets and creatures only one living thing survived, no one knows its name it only became known as the entity, it was believed that the being was of immense power but because of its form was unable to use it within the one place it escaped to, our universe."

"The entity escaped through a rift in time and space It fled to the nearest place it could find which happened to be a spiral galaxy much like the milky way except twice the size, in hope of finding a civilisation and creatures much like its own unfortunately if found a place of war, suffering, pain and death, in fear of this galaxy becoming like its own home, the entity decided to find a species pure of heart and free of corruption, it was there it found the Verean, a race of humanoids, tall, grey skin, white hair, strong and intellectual, however due to its form it had little capability of helping them become the race of peacekeepers it wanted to so it used all of its power possible to create five creatures in the image of the Verean each with a fraction of the entity's power, Skara the Just, Jaylex the wise, Mentra the brave, Tellec the strong and the greatest of all their leader Zalthorn the almighty, he had more power than any of them".

By this point the three teens except Luke were beginning to find it hard to concentrate but they were intrigued by what they where hearing so they soldiered on as they wanted to know what this had to do with Sarah Jane.

"The Entity gave them the Task "Create me the perfect Empire, the perfect society, the perfect civilisation and you shall be rewarded,"the entity disappeared and was never heard from for many years. So hundreds of years went by and the Guardians blessed with immortality, still shaped the newly founded Verean empire to be good and just, they had decided to give the role of emperor to a Verean as to help them learn responsibility for when they leave. Over 50,000 years had now past and the Empire had expanded over 3 spiral galaxies offering peace and salvation to all who joined, the Verean had become the most powerful race on their side of the universe, and it was time for the Guardians to leave, the great entity had returned to take them since they had completed their task, and they welcomed their reward of eternal paradise, all but one".

Rani and Clive continued to listen, but Luke was on the edge of his seat excited and interested in what was going to happen next.

"The Prime Guardian Zalthorn did not want to leave, he loved the Empire and its people and they loved him, but the entity refused him to stay, so Emperor Malcoren threatened the entity "let him stay or I will bring chaos and destruction upon the universe" it was only by this point that the entity had realized what he had created, not only had he made the ultimate race of peacekeepers but the most dangerous empire ever constructed so he gave Zalthorn the eternal task to keep the Verean on the right path and guide them, and to help him complete this assignment he bestowed the power of all Guardians onto him, abilities beyond comprehension began to emerge with the mere snap of his fingers he could burn planets to dust. And so the entity and Zalthorn's kin left the universe never to be seen from again, 160,000 years later the once Prime Guardian holds the title of Supreme Lord Chancellor and is of equal rank to the Emperor himself Zalthorn also commands the empires fleet and uses the Eclpise as his flag..."

"Ok Mr Smith I think that will do" Sarah Jane Interrupts.

"But what does this have to do with you" Luke asked, Clive and Rani Looked at Sarah Jane.

"well while on my many adventures with the doctor we paid a visit to Zalthorn who was a friend of the doctor, the Doctor had helped a Verean transport ship escape from a blackhole, after which, he was personally thanked by Zalthorn himself, and they where both intrigued by each other so they remained friends"

"Is that is" Luke asked "he just someone you met".

"Give her a chance Luke" said Rani to Luke "carry on Sarah Jane"

"With Zalthorn it wasn't just a quick adventure the doctor took me there for months it was the time of my life I was treated like royalty, and me and Zalthorn fell in love but we knew it was an impossibility and I left, we've tried to stay in contact after all this time, it was luck that they are in the same time frame as us"

"Wow that's has to be one of the most interesting races yet, why haven't you spoken about them before" asked Clive

"I guess the memories are hard to relive it was a different time in my life" Sarah Jane look down and back up with a smile on her face"

Luke stood up and walked over to his mum "so you said he's offering something"

Sarah Jane smiled "yes he asked me something amazing but I need to ask you first, all of you, he wants us to come and live with him in his empire for the summer holiday"

Luke looked at his mum with pure excitement but the other two did not and Sarah Jane saw this "you two are also invited, and don't worry I already got a plan we will tell you parents that me and Luke have won an all paid trip to Florida for four, Mr Smith has already filled out the paper work all you need to do is get your parents to sign". I large smile came over all four faces within the room as they were about to have the vacation of their lives.
