A New Era

It is time. 

A new era has arisen. And so, my friends, we must take up arms. It is too late to worry about the past. Look to the future and hope that we may survive what lies ahead. As our homeland begins to grow, so does the world around us, seemingly, and our enemies only grow in numbers. If we are to remain standing, we must defend ourselves. A new galactic empire is emerging. Interstellar travel is now possible. We must take advantage of this. We must make peace on Earth so that all hands and minds may be at work in unity. Dangerous conflicts lie ahead. Yet, they also serve as opportunity. As hope. To strive and become better than we already are. A new era can mean only one thing: change. We must adapt and let our natural instinct take over. Why am I telling you all this, you might ask? I call for an army. A resistance army, powerful enough to protect our homeland, but not so much so as to appear a threat to the rest of the galaxy. We must be subtle, yet quick. And with tiny armies, we must take out larger ones. The future lies in your hands. Do what you must. Most important of all, be prepared.

An impending invasion threatens Earth. A fleet of over a dozen spaceships along with a mothership confronts Earth. In an act of pure defensive instinct, a mission was assigned to me and my apprentice today. That is, we must steal a spaceship and sail the vastness of space to the mothership. We did so, traveling from fixed points in space, constantly having to refuel our ship's navigation system with our knowledge of algebra. Once we arrived in the general vicinity of the mothership, we hopped on board with a handy teleportation beam. We traveled the grand ship with a trusty protocol droid we had found on our wee little vehicle. Since my Cosmic Trace would have been easily recognized by the mothership's inhabitants, I was given a pill by the Sisterhood which would suppress my Cosmic form into that of a Hero's. I was given a disguise and so as I walked down the halls of the mothership, I was left defenseless and completely relying on the aptitude of my apprentice. Fortunately, he served me well as he took out a battle droid which we then took control of with the awesome technology of the protocol droid. Three sisterhood members promptly caught up with us bringing 2 spacesuits along with them. It is a shame, we never used them, but I suppose it is fortunate we didn't have to do such a thing. Just then, two war machines patrolling the hall appeared. We quickly hid in an alley and waited for them to pass. Just as the War Machine crossed into view, we opened fire with our battle droid and knocked out the human within his armor casing. The other War Machine investigated where his friend had been shot and was ambushed by Sister Amanda. She was blasted away by the War Machine. I quickly darted away into a room (possibly a library) and found a gauntlet which I tried on. Suddenly, I felt enlightened with the straight punch gauntlet's straight punch enhancing abilities and tried them out on a War Machine. His suit's self-destruction sequence activated without the user's consent. The man within the armor casing began to plead for help. I deactivated it. This act of kindness removed the dark veil from the eyes of the poor man and he thanked me. He told me he would do whatever I commanded. I asked him about the Butcher (a shadow lord who owned the mothership) and what we could do to stop him. The man responded that the Butcher inhabited a room which contained the keys to a cell containing a Sisterhood member held captive. I asked what we could do to draw him out. He responded the Butcher always investigated personally whenever someone opened up a treasure chest in one of his rooms. I told Amanda and Eden to go perform this task while my task force waited, prepared to strike the Butcher from behind. Amanda and Eden entered a room and found not only a treasure chest, but also a cannon. Amanda charged up the cannon while Eden opened the chest. Immediately, the alarm went off, causing the Butcher to go investigate personally. Immediately after he entered the room, Amanda opened fire, blasting back the Butcher, my powerful task force did the same from behind, leaving the Butcher the ham between a burger of bullets. He was knocked unconscious. We entered the room from which he came, containing the keys. I sent my War Machines in first. They found a Saiyan standing there, alarmed. The War Machines told him to put his hands up and exit the room promptly. He responded by slicing them both in half. Inside, I prayed for their souls, and suddenly, my rage was fueled. I sent in my war droid, this time, not being so nice. I immediately opened fire at the not-so-harmless Saiyan. He deflected the bullets. I then entered with a Sword of Destiny. The Saiyan confronted me and attacked me. I defended myself. And so, our duel began. He said he was the Saiyan General. He told me he would never be defeated. I asked him if he knew who I was. He said no. I told him that was because I have been disguised, but I will reveal myself once I defeat you. He said, "Impossible!" and disarmed me. He attempted to strike me with his sword. I grabbed a book and used it as a shield. With nothing else to defend myself with, and the Saiyan General in the midst of what he probably thought to be the final blow, I had no choice but to grab the blade of his sword. With the incredible powers of a Cosmic Being, I was unharmed by the blade and thrust it forward, disarming him. He backed away in awe as my Cosmic Form was revealed. "You-you're a Cosmic Being!!!" he gasped. I responded, "That's a first," and struck him dead. Now that my Cosmic Entity was revealed, everyone on the ship could sense my presence. I swiftly grabbed the key and freed the imprisoned Sister. She sprinkled fairy dust on me which increased my movement by 10x. I agilely reported to the teleportation pad where I teleported back to my tiny fleet ship I had arrived in. I charged up its weapons and waited for my friends to teleport aboard. Once they were all aboard, I opened fire on the mothership. The mothership's shield held off all my attacks and soon, they began to charge their own weapons. I quickly fled from their view. And accidentally wandered into a mass of mothership controlled fleet ships. With the help of my friends, we managed to charge up the warp drive just in time as the other fleet ships locked their guns on us. We accelerated light speed toward Earth, arriving safely in the City. Mission complete. We were proud.
