I'm Back!
Currently, this is planned to be the Final "Book" in the Dark Army Story. This may change in the future.
Without further ado, I own nothing!
Chapter 1: Prelude
*26 Years Ago: The Residence of Cliff Gordon*
The mansion of renowned actor Cliff Gordon sat atop the hill on the outskirts of the City, populated by the its most wealthy and influential individuals. Simply standing in the neighborhood granted you a sense of pride and power. If you lived there, it meant you didn't have to work another day in your life; you had it made, and everyone envied you. That kind of power easily corrupts the minds of the egotistical.
But right now, Cliff didn't give a damn about any of that. All he cared about was his wife going through labor as the midwife helped deliver through the Master of Lightning's screams of anguish.
"Come on Libby, push! You can do it darling! Push! I'm here!"
"She's crowning! I can see the baby's head! Keep pushing, Mrs. Gordon!"
Unable to even form words through the pain, Libby's grip tightened around her husband's hand as her eyes glowed a bright blue. The lights began to flicker sporadically for several seconds before a burst of energy caused every electrical device in the house to shut off, leaving them in a pitch black room.
Libby began breathing at a calmer rate in the darkness, and the Midwife's voice spoke at a quieter decibel. "Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Walker. I can feel the baby... but I cannot see them."
Cliff kissed Libby on the forehead. "Just rest sweetheart. Don't use your powers, I'll get some lamps from downstai-"
Before he could finished, all three of them shielded their eyes as Libby's entire body began to glow a bright blue for several moments before it left her and wisped over to the newborn, causing him to laugh gleefully in the midwife's arms. After the glow dissipated, the lights turned back on, leaving all three of them shocked at what just happened.
"...C... Congratulations, it's a boy!"
Cliff smiled lovingly at his wife before walking over to look at his newborn son. Libby smiled weakly as well before looking at her hands.
My powers... what happened?
"May I...?" The midwife nodded after swaddling the baby and handed him to his father. "He's a precious thing, Mr. Gordon."
"That he is, Edna. That he is. Please, after this, you're practically family. Call me Cliff." He stared down at the smiling baby. His innocent face, his beautiful cobalt eyes, his red fuzz on the top of his head. They were all beautiful to the new father's eyes.
"Welcome to the world, little Jay.'
Just outside of the Gordon residence, the old Sensei Wu watched in the night as the lights flickered on and off, until he sensed it. Smiling lightly, he looked up into the starry sky.
"The Element of Lightning has been reborn. I will see you when the time is right, young one."
And there we go! I Know its shorter than usual, but this is just a prelude! PLEASE Leave comments and questions!
