As Amanon turns

I spare their lives... and still they persist in attacking me! What fools they be...no they are brave even when facing a foe they cannot hope too defeat. justin has taken up the mantle of leadership in my...errr ultra major's stead. Curious, he seems reluctant in this new role, even though looking at the roster he is the most logical choice. I could have easily peeled him out that armor and crushed him like a grape...but I showed him and his teammates mercy and compassion...? This merril jacobs will is strong he has started too impose his ways upon me I see him and have conversations with him it is like he has invaded my mind as i have invaded his body. Justin made the coreect decision in withdrawing from the conflict for the sake of his and his teammates lives. Azalea was already defeated, psyche was lost in the desert and while prodigy's magic is strong, he is an apprentice dealing with a master.

If only they could see all the good i am doing. Returning africa to its once beautiful splendor is my life's goal. They have taken the cradle of life and BLACKENED HER WOMB!!! This is an outrage and while i still draw breath mother africa will thrive once again. Under my rule the phoenix empire will shine its light for the whole world to see.

Therein lies my conundrum by birthing the phoenix empire, I am betraying my master. The house of set would not approve of this, of my behavior. Even now i struggle with the idea of raising my lord set, knowing he would undo all that i have done, usurp my control of the phoenix empire and enslave africa as well as the entire planet. The plans we have laid forth cannot be undone they are like a fine precision instrument. Still i betray my mastrer with my deeds and thoughts i must beg his forgiveness...

DAMN YOU NEITH !!!

So we have faced a defeat again at the hands of Amanon. The U.N Forces large ship has been forced to the ground and we are in Egypt. The red tape that the U.N Force has to go through to try to stop my Nemesis is frustrating. I have given them all the information necessary to try to stop Amanon, and I understand they have a weakness for Ultra Major and may be able to exploit it. I've come to respect these warriors, and I realize that we must work together to defeat him before he raises SET.

The Team seems to be vast. They have Embassy's and chapters in different parts of the world. We have met up with The "Epsilon" Team. There has been a decision that certain members will pursue one mission while I accompany the members that will face Amanon. I've Tracked Amanon to a Pyramid. We have been attacked by one of his many beasts. Dr Gun Gear has decided to stay and fight him alone, while the rest of us attack Amanon.

When we make our way further inside the pyramid who do I see but my evil Twin Sister, NEITH !! She has a group of followers she calls the Acolytes of Set. Neith and I have been at war since we were children. Our powers and abilities allow us to hurt each other more than anyone else can. But I believe I can defeat her.

I have nearly defeated Neith and her cronies have managed to give the U.N. Force a run for their money but not without them putting up a fight.Now I shall ...what is this..No I thought this Team new what they were doing ! Now I find the pressure of my own bodyworking against me. What did they throw down here. Not to mention Amanon has now finally showed up and has fully claimed Ultra Majors body in entirety. He now looks like Amanon in Guise as well as demeanor. He broke the the wall like it was paper, and ripped off the head of one their team members. I'm too hurt and this confounded device has me pinned. Not only that whatever it is they attacked him with didn't work. I am surprised Amanon is being so merciful by letting them live. Maybe Ultra Majors influence is fighting through, or he has something else up his sleeve. Only time will tell.

I find out why he spared our lives. He spared ours and destroyed anothers life. He has learned how to manipulate the nations problems and make himself seem like the Savior of a Nation. The Team has decided to not fold and try to find a way to defeat him before they can vacate Africa. They have come to the realization that they might have to listen to my advice and destroy him before he accomplishes what he wants. If they can't then I have to do what I came to do from the beginning..

And Damn You Neith for escaping !!

Amanon awakes

This vessel is SPLENDID!!! Of all the countless bodies I have possesed over the centuries this by far is the best one! Young & power in abundance. Adding his power to my own, I may rival set himself... no forgive me, I mustn't think that way it is blaphemous. But the way I ripped that monsters head from it's shoulders...MAGNIFICENT! I recognize those people from his memories, they were his allies...his former allies. I have no intenions of giving up this body without a fight. His spirit is strong and his will was almost indomitable...almost. But none can resist the power of amanon, general of set's army for long. I broke him like I have done many in the past, including that accursed heru. May he but a fleeting memory in history in this day and age. If Neith has done as she was ordered he is. I can feel the scarab of Emonhep tugging at my very soul. Soon we will be reunited you and I and after we raise set the circle will be complete! I will call forth set's snakes in the grass, get the churches back to prominence and make lord set's name spill from everyones lips...again. T' Zaka Crane has already made way for us to return to my native egypt where I can prepare in full for the solstice and make ready for set's return. Strangely this one has a strong attraction to the bald female, and now I find she is in my passing thoughts, making me feel urges I have not felt in centuries. This is new to me something I have never felt in the past. No matter there is still much to be done..Lord set your day of asencion is at hand!

Amanon's U.N. address

Good morning, esteemed members of the united nations. My name is amanon tatumain, I am a native of egypt, but more importantly I am a son of africa. Many centuries ago the continent of africa was a beautiful & bountiful country, full of natural resources and a splendor all it's own. It was the cradle of life...MOTHER AFRICA!!! BUT NOW you have robbed it of its vast resources , destroyed the beauty of its wildlife & flora, layed waste to her kingdoms AND MADE HER WOMB BARREN! IT STOPS HERE & NOW! The nerve, the arrogance it must take to sit back and watch africa wage a genocidal war within her borders, do nothing to help quell the siutuation & still rely on our resources. What you must have been saying to yourselves " Let the jungle ni**as kill themselves, & we'll be there to swoop in like heroes and lend your support , smiling in our faces, while twisting the PROVERBIAL KNIFE in our backs. And we gladly accept your meager scraps...WELL NO MORE! AS of this very moment we cut ALL TIES with the united states! Your assistance is no longer required or wanted! In this matter all of the various heads of state are agreed. It is now under my protection. United states has 72 hours to withdraw all its forces and politicians out of africa or feel my wrath. You must think of me as an insane zealot, a monster for dropping President Al-Bashir to the darfurians, I was merly feeding the wolf to the sheep. I personally led that lamb into the slaughter. I ended in 5 minutes what you were unwilling to or afraid to do for over a decade. I will bring peace & unity to mother africa. I will be the father that cleans her wounds, wipes the sweat from her brow & nurses her back to health. Please do not cross me or attempt to defy my ruling... you will find my vengence will be swift and harsh. President Al-Bashir refused my order to stand down...do not follow him to the slaughter. And finally to my former allies of the U.N. force 3 nights ago I spared your lives, do not mistake my kindness for weakness. I asked you to leave africa & myself in peace. I now tell you again PLEASE ...if your lives mean anything to you...I am begging you not to re-enter Africa. To do so would be a declaration of WAR! And if it's war you want...I'LL GIVE YOU A WAR YOU WONT BELIEVE!!! Thank you for your time today & may we go forward in peace!

U.N FARCE !!!

Who are these fools !! I go to carry out my mission to stop, no DESTROY Amanon Tautmain before he raises set and causes the world to be in peril and they get in my way. I track him to One Police Plaza. He's in the same city I decided to lay rest. Irony !! When I arrive I let him know that I have come for him once more. This time however he has possessed a being with powers and abilities almost equal to my own righteous might. It seems that he is the teammate, no Leader of these band of Infidels and idiots. Don't they know what power they are up against. If they do not let me carry out my mission we're all dead. I show them why I am HERU !! The GOD of All..they however have been ...lucky..I let them take me for the battle that has ensued has caused Amanon in the body of this ULTRA MAJOR has escaped.

I can leave anytime I want but these people seem, passionate about their comrade. If it was me I would ask them to put me out of my misery to save the world. The sacrfice of one can save many. They seemed determined to free of Amanons Clutches. FINE I'll go along with them for now. Iron Wolf seems interesting. He really believes I was hurt by those splinters he put in my face. HAH !! I've fought in the Scalding sun and been cut by the sharpest Sand. I am Omni..I AM HERU..But he seemed honorable. And Azalea. She is a fine specimen of a warrior woman. Maybe after this mission is over I shall Bed her and show her why she should be worthy of my touch.

As we head to Egypt to find that Amanon has taken a plane to find the Tomb of Set and has 20 days to ressurect him. I, We have to stop him. We are aboard this Monstrosity of Modern Technology called the Atlas. I knew Atlas. He was much Bigger. But I believe he would be tickled that his name is used for such a vehicle. We have been told that U.N Force cannot enter foreign soil. WHAT NONSENSE..I AM OMNI...I AM HERU !! NO MORTAL SHALL PREVENT ME FROM MY DESTINED MISSION !! I with Uzziel find the plane Ultra Major, I mean Amanon is on and lay waste to it.

We shall Triumph. But these fools seem to trip over themselves. Do they not now the weaknessess needed to stop this man. I shall kill him with my bare hands if I need to. But I will , refrain for the sake of their friend and comrade. But if they continue to get in my way. I will do what must be done.

What !! He's escaped again. I am badly injured, but He has felt my mighty Blow and will feel it again soon. I am coming for you Amanon. I am coming. Do not get comfortable in that skin you wear. For I will free your being from this mortal earth. Because I am Omni...I am Heru !!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

The time is upon you when my presence must be shown. Soon the hidden horrors will reveal themselves to you and time will be but a precious memory. Listen to my warnings I am coming to quash an evil and to preserve life as you know it. I am but a few left to stop the upcoming events already in progress but suffice it to say the world will come to an end should there not be a coordinated effort. I implore for your assistance in the name of humanity and all that is good!

Prodigal Lunacy

What the hell went through my mind jumping out of a ship 50,000 feet in the air? I am still asking myself this question as I know my seconds are ticking here. You ask though, how did you find yourself in that position in the first place? Good question, well the easy answer is that Ultra Major was on the plane beneath us ready to collide against our ship. So what better way but to disable the plane before it even gets to us and perhaps cause major disruption to the point of foiling whatever plot Amanon has! Heart in the right place but my head definitively was not! Again, why?!!!!!!!! Well taking into account that I am nearly infallible when it comes to numbers and science and calculations, I must say that I overlooked one key ingredient to my stunt, skill! My theory was correct as it is deeply versed in physics and with such quantifiable measures and fixed components the variables were easy to deal with. All I really needed to do was use my momentum to propel myself toward the plane, when I reached the back of the plane there would be a precise 1.1212345 second window that would allow for a very minor disruption in speed differential allowing me with the assistance of Fly as the Eagle to ricochet in the opposite direction, thereby not only matching the speed of the plane but landing on it as well, PERFECT! Needless to say that being a genius sometimes lacks for the minor details that can prove detrimental to ones health, ie the situation I'm in now, lol! see the calculations were on point what I misjudged grossly was the maneuverability in said jump, see the problem was truly since I had no training in correcting my body and shifting to be able to control from tumbling I was at the mercy of the elemental force called AIR!!!! Oooops! How could I have not accounted for such a minor thing, CRAP!!! Well there goes the plane, and OH DAMN, nice shots! this is going to leave a mark, not to mention that it's going to hurt like heck, what was I thinking, damn my only hope right now is to remain conscience if not I'm surely done for. Hmmm, funny how time seems to freeze when you're face to face with your own mortality at which point you get a chance to review and catalog every event in your life including the current predicament, well at least right now I can relate to the whale in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Somehow I managed to be saved by an unknown friendly, and I have been placed back on the ship. I am in bad shape and by the looks of it not out of this situation by a long shot. The battle ensues and I hate that I can do nothing to help except lay here and heal myself as best as I can, Damn It Prodigy you're better than this seems to be consistent and constant words I drum to myself. However as the re is a shining light to any darkness that befalls us, a stroke of brilliance has just grabbed me, a muse even. The only reason that entity is in UM is because it feels powerful enough not to be trifled with and is toying with us, right now our disorganization is being exploited badly to some extent and he keeps pushing us to see if we break. This actually may play well for us when we surprise the heck out of Amamanon and save our friend as well. Hopefully this will work, I'll only have one shot at this and this time my calculations are right, and I have the skill sets to back me, come on Prodigy it's about time you use your head not your heart, come on. Now I just hope we get the opportunity to spring the trap.

HERUGLYPHS

I have fought for centuries the evils that have plagued this world. My Greatest Nemesis being Amanon Tatumain. The Cur who was once the leader of the Cult of Set in Egypt. His army was so powerful that he almost destroyed the upper province of Egypt had I not stepped in to defeat him. Ra set forth my path to destroy such a demon lest we all be subjugated to becoming slaves with no will of our own. His Exile was believed to the best solution.

It was however not !! It wasn't enough that I defeated this slime the first time. When he rebuilt his army in lower Egypt, I faced him once again on behalf of my Lord Ra. Amanon was working some type of foul Magic that I believe would have brought this world to hell and make him a GOD among men. There can only be one. He is not it !! He found ways to elude us for centuries, becoming someone new each turn. My ability to find him was the only way we were finally able to defeat him once and for all. Killing him was the quickest and easiest way to prevent him from ever returning to this mortal coil and spreading his disease upon these lands.

For Centuries his defeat was considered a great victory. I had a new mission. I lived in Africa for a time before coming to the Americas. During the World War of II I even befriended fellow Champions to stop numerous forms of Evil. One Human who was an Amazing leader of men. He was the Captain of many forces we took on. A winged Angel, who was both Dark and Light. She believes her God is the one true. But she does not realize that Ra is the only True. And myself. We helped the battle of the ages and the world became safe again.

I found my purpose was not needed nearly as much. With Amanon Dead. The War over and my comrades missing, I set about creating a civilian life. If the call came I was going to be there. I watched as numerous beings appeared to fight evil in all forms. Organizations were built to assist in this. Only if it became necessary did I feel that I would just be lost amongst these new saviors of the universe.

The other day I felt a tug of something familiar. No it can't be. I destroyed him. He should be lying with the minions of Set writhing in Pain and Agony. I must now forgo my life that I have created for myself here to attend to this situation. This centuries "Vacation Time" will be sufficient enough for me to hunt down and destroy him once and for all. The call is Strong !!! I can and WILL defeat him this time.

Prodigious Elevation

Well what can I say here I am first day as an official member of Team Alpha and first order of busines which I'm proud to say I handled admirably was make square with everyone on the team. That made the transition smooth to say the least, although still iffy, but nonetheless painless. So getting past the whole welcoming into the new "job" our first order of business is to stop a rampaging alien that is causing havoc in mid-town. Now-a-days who isn't though, it just seems that mid-town has become the virtual playground for all criminals, aliens, and other trash of the city. So here I am with Justin, Azalea, Sebastian, and Maverick coming into the HLZ. I decide to cast tongues so I can understand the alien what would seem just roaring. Turns out the alien was just looking for his betrothed and desperate to find her in a foreign and strange enviroment he did what was comfortable to him, but by no means did that mean he didn't understand the principles of honor and keeping one's word. With the help of Azalea we were able to distract him long enough to engage in conversation. Within a matter of minutes we difused the situation and he was willing to cooperate, and then the unexpected happened. Out of nowhere Ultra Major swoops in and before anyone can say anything or act, he rips the alien's head off!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!! angered by his actions I questioned his actions as did Justin, and his words to us were curt and precise challenging Justin to take the leadership from him! WOW!!!! I remember when by accident he nearly killed me, now he's rogue this matter has to be handled quickly and before he decides being bad is good! The worst part about it is that it seems unnatural but how do we prove it? No one suffers a psychotic break like in seconds, which is what seemed to have happened to him. There is evil afoot and we need to figure this out before taking measures on Ultra Major.

Sited at One Police Plaza, they call for assistance, and with good timing being that our internal efforts are failing miserably, and Director Cinder is acting like a pure penis! The audacity of him, Proof! Are you really FKM! regardless if he's possessed or within his own faculties he needs to be dealt with and he rather we do this with kid gloves! I hope I don't regret this decision, it may just get me killed. Anyways we engage Ultra Major, and the mooks. Just as is always the mooks are handled with ease, Ultra Major on the other hand was a little more of a challenge. In comes a new guy whom I don't recognize but it seems he wants to subdue Ultra Major ok, but who the hell is he? Then comes in the African dude, that seems to be as strong or as powerful as Ultra Major and is definatively against him wanting blood! Oh boy, great so now I have three Ultra's on little ol' me, why can't things ever be simple damn it! With a team effort being spearheaded by Sebastian we finally get Ultra onto the carpet of adehsion subdoing him. Whew, but what happens next that Jungle dude whips up a whirlwind to get us out of the way for him to destroy Ultra, but uinbeknownst to all of us but IronWolf, the mooks have now become Ton Tons and they get Ultra out of there! AARHHHHGGG WTBHFC!!!!!!!!! the only saving grace is that we did manage to work in unison and are able to better coordinate, but we need to run a tighter group if we are going to stop African dude and Ultra and I'm hoping the other Super is a friendly, seems like he is though.

To think seems like just not long ago they suffered a loss by the hands of Axiom, and now Ultra Major, but what actually concerns me is director Cinder, that prick! I'm actually disconcerted at the fact that a villian as nortorious as Axiom may have been telling me the truth! What's next Satan himself preaching the gospel to make amends to God!!! Wow what is this world coming to?!!

Commisar's Logue

Azaleas death has not gone unpunished! A comrade for a comrade, an eye for an eye, a tooth for... many teeth! Shtoi! It seemed like it wanted to face me in one-on-one combat...so I gave it an honorable death. For the last couple of weeks it's been an alien free for all. I suspect they are all coming from the spaceship that crashed about 3 weeks ago, but why has that not been given top priority. Bozche moi!!! Major ultra has been doing a piss poor job these past couple of weeks running together, he has been acting very strange of late. He has missed our morning jos 2 days in a row,very unusual. The other night while I was taking a smoke outside of hogs & heffers(greeeatt russian beer) he flew over head and into museum of natural history(isn't that where he & azalea went on their date and were attacked?) He was dressed in all black and sneaking around I followed him from a distance(what can say,am nosy). He seemed to be looking for something,did not find it and flew off...amerikans very strange. The rest of the night we all took tequila shots in memory of azalea...I will miss you little sister!

Directors Journal 01-05-22-09/0600

This is how we stand so far, Manhattan has been designated as a disaster area. We have enlisted the aid of the national guard as an additional police force to patrol from the Garment district ending at the Jackie O reservoir. Rescue & repair efforts are under way as we speak. Over a couple hundred people have been declared homeless, people are missing and we are still counting the dead. Nick had 9-11 I have...alien armageddon! We have a confirmed sighting of the spacecraft using a negative space amplifier compliments of our tech specialists Ellliot Stevens. The problem is we know it crashed on earth, by the huge indent & pathway left in central park, but it's not there? Right now we don't have the manpower to track it. That's why I called in lockdown team: alpha. Unfortunately they met with a most untimely death. Since I asked them for their help I can't help but feel partly responsible. The reports say they have become hosts for a symbiotic alien race. Team: Delta recovered what looks to be two eggs from their nest, I let the team think I destroyed the eggs but I have sent them, like all the alien artfacts recovered, to my Nevada Garden. In the rescue effort to find alpha, solarstorm, a bright, young, recruit has also gone missing...we fear another victim of the symbiotes. About 3 weeks ago we feared we may have lost another team member,azalea when she was gunned down while trying to capture a toogarth(the boys in the lab say they look like garth brooks with too many teeth...go figure)alien.She surprised all of us when she seemingly returned from the dead. It confirms my suspicion that she may well indeed be a sea titan(an immortal race of sea dwellers not unlike mythical atlantis) Raze mentioned them on more than one occasion...very fondly I might add. Prodigy has finally joined our ranks I think he will be a welcome addition. While rough around the edges & seemingly not use to protocol, his expierience will prove valuable (I think) on a relatively young & inexpierienced team. I think his past dealings with sebastian & justin should make his transition relatively smooth. When I'm narrating this in my head why do I sound like john-luc picard. We have had modicums of success, we recaptured the rampaging denizen, we saved countless lives after the alien spacecraft landed, we saved china & the world from an ancient evil dragon(and I thought I saw it all) aliens gunning down civilians, but I fear none of that has prepared us for this. Ultra major has gone off the reservation! When america's top cop goes rogue...God help us. Hopefully Alpha can stop him before this gets any uglier. THIS WILL NOT BECOME ANOTHER AXIOM CATASTROPHE!!! I will not have this be a black cloud over this administration like axiom's was over nick's! I will contact the Garden and have them prep the S.H.A.R.K.S. and have the Ultra killers on standby! I pray it doesn't come to that.

Director N. Michael Sinder

Prodigal Storm

Where do I begin? First I escape barely with my life from Cuba as it is being controlled now by Axiom that wretch! His interest in me came as a surprise when I was told that I had been working all along for an Alien, wow Castro an Alien... This is an individual whom I called father all my life and whom I had great respect for, I believed in what he believed and the goals he wanted to accomplish for our homeland. Now to see him on a slab displayed like a side of beef makes me so angry inside but I had to keep my cool. I know they had to have tortured him beyond even his capabilities, that and his failing health contributed to his betrayal, but putting myself in his shoes could I have done any different? Hell right now I feel like I betrayed him by agreeing to Axioms terms, and working with him to oust these plotting Aliens. The funny thing is that I have to thank Axiom on one thing, now that my father is dead I can now regress and find answers to questions I was always afraid to ask, not because something bad would happen to me, but because something bad could happen to him, and now that it has I have nothing to loose.

If that wasn't enough, I come back to a Storm that practically leveled NY! Thousands are injured and many dead, and here I am working with whom I can to aleviate and rescue those that I can. Here I am supposed to be on vacation, but as one can blatantly see disaster and mayhem know no such concept. I managed through acertaining some feeds and logic that this may be of an Alien nature, which low and behold Axiom seems to be on point, amazingly enough! Talk about confusion, I need to focus, I know who and what I am, and what I will and will not do. Anyways this just seems to be part of a larger picture and more events keep unravelling.

Now is the day I need to talk to David Garrison seriously. I don't want to leave his employment because it is convenient for me, it gives me the necessary space for me to do what I need to do and fly under the radar, but I can no longer live with my "head stuck in the sand" sort of speak. I have to thank him for a time well spent but that I need to move on to the UN Force, if there was only a way where I could go about it without having to actually look ungrateful, I don't know about anyone else but loyalty is everything to me, and it is something I do not comprimise. So what should happen when I go to his office "BOOM!" here comes Garrison flying at me from his office and then being singled out! OH CRAP! If I didn't have enough to deal with here I am now having to face his elite squad and see for his safety. I manage to to easily evade them by outthinking them, and thereby it benfits them since I don't have to harm them and cause any more loss for Garrison. Unfortunately Garrison did get injured but I did manage to get him to safety in the UN Force Kestrel. Next was the Thornax whom was just shooting everything in sight and did not seem to stop. Then followed by the Garrison team to assist with this Alien. While all of this was going on I decided to look for the first Alien problem since he was the more dangerous of the two, and to my dismay I could not track him, stupid Psychic. Then when I had just finished communicating to Justin that the second Alien had to be in the area or how else would Garrison's team know whom to attack my vocal cords were shut off by the Psychic's power. Let's just say texting is not as easy to do when in the middle of a crisis, lol.

Eventually due to do diligance and teamwork both Aliens were stopped cold, Garrison realizing what I can do for society as a whole decided to let me go of his own accord and I am now in the process of becoming an Alpha Member, wow all in a few minutes work! There is no turning back now, I am in the middle of what they call the "SHIT!" now. Being pulled and torn by all sides how long can I maintain appearances. How long before I crack? Believe it or not I can identify with Brohlic, I definately do not want to be him, but just how much pressure is too much? Whom am I going to confide in now? Not that I have confided in anyone yet. What about all of these Alien appearances? Damn it is as if they were space roaches or something, they just keep coming. The other unsettling aspect is that all of this happening on the dawn of man as it may seem with Garrison wanting to launch a deep space manned probe. I don't know but this is too much to be coincidental.

Commisar's Logue

Rain, thunder, lightning...aliens? The great stalin has always said aliens exist...bozche moi... he was right! Stormwatch techs said they spotted the silouhette of a large alien spacecraft as it came out of a wormhole. Amazing I wish I could have been there to view it. Our new logistics coordinator, Elliot Stevens, saw it, actually it was his idea to use negative space technology to locate the craft. I was watching the new star trek movie with my grandfather while all this was going on. The lights start to flicker, then everything goes dark. As I am evacuating the patrons, the sky is as dark as I have ever seen it and there is just so much rain. I take control of the situation and start evacuating rolex square, there is no response from stormwatch, power and communications seem to be down all over the city, as I am unable to make contact with Major ultra or any other of my U.N. force teammates. By stalins beard, amidst all the chaos and anarchy...now looters. Does crime not take a day off, through all this turmoil the fat try to get fatter. By the white wolf...I do not have time for this every moment I waste more lives are put in jeopardy. Spetnaya's blade finds it's mark in the chest of one villain while a jagged piece of re-bar in the neck of the other. Bozche moi ...it's a lot of rain.

Graduation Day !!

This is my Final Log as a Delta Squad Trainee. I'll be graduating. I can't believe it, my first mission in my new costume. I can't wait. I've wanted to be a superhero ever since I found out I was a mutant. My name is going to be huge after this. SOLAR STORM. Cereal Boxes, Cartoons, Action Figures. Just like the Alpha Squad. That's when it'll be big. My mom would have been so proud.
I get transferred to U.N Force Beta after this. Stopping a gang of Drug Dealers should be cake. Til the next entry when I'm a full fledged Beta Agent. This is Solar Storm signing off !!

Case log # 3 Azalea Dead !!

I can't believe I'm saying this but. My Teammate, my friend was murdered today. Azalea Moonsun was killed in action. My heart hurts. Badly. I was just getting to know her. I knew that she claimed to be immortal. She was as tough as myself and BETA, which is why I knew she could handle villains such as that Denizen of the woods we fought some weeks back. But she was gunned down. Horribly. The science boys tell me that she will recover. Her recuperative abilities are unlike anyone we know. But it remains to be seen. I'll believe it when I see it if she comes back to life. If that's even at all possible. What am I saying I was dead once. But my circumstances were different. I can't believe I almost lost her..just that quick. I'm not a cold hearted soldier. Though I am still a soldier it's not in my nature to feel nothing for those who fight and die beside me.

It's been almost two days now and the doctors say that she has woken up. She won't be able to move for sometime. Her wounds are starting to heal. Maybe I need to give her a different set of responsibilites on the team. I'm all for equal rights so I'm not doing it to treat her like I'm doing it because she's a woman, but because I care for her safety. What the hell were they fighting out there ? Sebastian said that ever since the disaster that Aliens have been popping up out of nowhere. They captured the Creature that did this to her. I hope that it gets buried under the jail we place it in.

Case log #2 Hail Scarab !!

12:pm So Azalea asks me out on a...Date...I guess..? What is it about that woman that makes me out of sorts. She's great in battle, smart, tough and well pretty much has a number of I guess you can call them suitors. She never brings her personal..um business...into the field which just proves how much of a professional she can be. So I have no problem accompanying her..she's actually a delight to be around. Ever since my divorce from Carla, and finding out that the marriage was basically a lie, I've been a workaholic. Haven't thought much about female companionship. Maybe the attention she gives me just fills a void. Right now though I enjoy being friends with her.

11:00pm Hail Scarab !! Who were those fellers ? A guy with a glove, a Big Guy who's as dumb as a stump as strong as an Ox, a strange female and a guy with a Chainsaw..They attacked us (Azalea and I) at the Museum on our..outing..What the heck did they want. It makes no sense..We thankfully saved the innocent bystanders but they got away. I don't what is going on. Something tells me though that it's nothing good.

Mission Log #4 DelSen

Ok it's been weeks since I've written. But I only waited to write because I needed to get my sight back..I don't curse to often but WTF is OZMYRDIUM ? I hope I spelled that right. Delta-Seven-Nine aka DELSEN is a Killer Robot in the literal sense of the word. He had been running around the city killing innocents to test his training protocols before moving up to fighting SPB's (Super Powered Beings). He started by first attacking formere Alpha Member Brohlic and a small group of Delta Squad Trainees. I understand the young fella Stallion helped save the day, but not before DS9 killed our logistics cooridnator which also was Brohlics girlfriend. Stallion didn't defeat the robot but he did stall it.

When we came in to handle the situation, despite how close he was to the case both I and Michael Sinder agreed that Brohlic should be a part of this mission. However upon closer review I see why he was no longer on the Alpha Squad. His emotional imbalance severely hindered the teams progress. I understood full well the feelings he had behind it. But still he made decisions to jeopardize the situation. Not only that his blatant disrespect for a guest that we invited to be a part of this mission was uncalled for. Prodigy had proven twice before that despite his loyalty to his employer, was someone willing to assist us the best way he could . Brohlic is not going to be someone I recommend for a promotion back to the Alpha team at the moment until he goes under full psychological evaluation.

We then fought this metal monster. I can't believe it..somehow he found a way to blind me for a long time. How I don't know. I've heard of fighting blind, but this is ridiculous. Even though I couldn't see I hit that thing with all my might and nothing. Not a scratch not a dent. Nothing !!
Ozmyridium is a metal it seems that was created by Samantha McQuarters. But she died by the hands of that monster. It wasn't til we met Rosalyn Proctor that we found out the whole story.
Seems the friggin things programming at activated and it's in some sort of what did Justin call it, AI Loop. Basically upgrading and creating new programs for itself to continue to learn.

We almost stopped him too. But not before he crashed our Helicopter, kidnapping Rosalyn and then with the sheer luck of me hearing him take off and holding on to him , crashing a Commercial Airline. He'll be back I'm sure of it. How to handle it will be the next thing. I'll get Justin to work on some solutions

Prodigal Unrest II

Here I am back in the states and in NY. I have to feign everything is well because honestly unlike the UN force not every problem concerns them or everyone for that fact. Not that I am unappreciative of their asking me to join or help them, but the reality is not all their missions ever really concerned me, but I assisted the best I could. This last one with Del-Sin was annoying, I know I'm better than that stupid tin can and I got caught by a simple drug, damn that rust bucket! Anyways moving forward I now have to my laundry list of problems Home yet again. When does it ever get any easier?

Now see, I know the golden rule and having asked that question I deserve the sudden unnatural insta-hurricane conditions that have just decended upon us, yeah why not? Actually I find it quit funny it kinda makes me feel like that Charlie Brown kid with the cloud over his head, oh yeah Charlie, hehe (inside joke). Anyways this storm here is definately going to leave a mark. The life of a hero, so frustrating, so unrelenting, and so unpriviledged, and I do this why? I keep getting up in the morning hoping to just do my job at Garrison's and not have it become a calamity, but lately calamity has been on speed dial! Almost like ordering Pizza Hut.

Oh yeah and to top it off people want me to decide between Garrison or UN, like I really care which one I work with, honestly Garrison pays better, and allows me to freelance or actually advise the UN team, which gives me manuverabilty and freedoms that I would not have otherwise. The fact is Garrison did see my potential and I have come up through his ranks to earn that respect anyways and he shows it in my bonuses and time off and actually from time to time will shake my hand and remembers my name. I know these things seem very small and petty, but you know what; it is the gratitude in this unforgiving world that goes a long way. Yes I get the thank yous from the UN, but what type of appeciation is it to judge me because I'm a civilian? Hell they were not concerned with that before they asked me to help! Now all of a sudden I'm a security risk! *Breathe* Prodigy *Breathe* WOW THE NERVE AND GAUL OF THESE M^%$&#^% F&*$$^%#* A&^^%#%#*!!!! That's it I'm sick off this they need me not the other way around, and as for getting back home I'll find the realible people for it and make my move when ready! This world has gone to Hell in a piss pot and they're concerned about me being a security risk, when they themselves can't guide themselves out of a paper bag! In any case I have spoken my piece since I do have to go about it diplomatically and allow for trusts to develop, but oh how I wish I could really let them know how I feel and then show them how discombobulated their team really is just to teach them a lesson.

Prodigal Unrest

Here we are two weeks into what is supposed to be my time and a good one at that, but no all it is is more headaches! I, after much arbitration and funny looks, have made it into Cuba. The strange part was I came in on a commercial flight instead of scheduled pick-up by my commander. Second there were no enterage for me instead a death squad, and to top it off I have yet to find out what is going on. As far as I can see I am being held for "questioning" with respect to being a traitor, and I honestly have no clue why or what the hell they're talking about! Not that it matters much to them because just like in the times of the inquisition suspicion was enough and proof was a commodity they could not afford. My only saving grace is that they do not have a clue to my abilities because only one man on earth knows that, and all my events with UN force was in disguise. I'm in for a wold of hurt I see.

The interegation started normal with 13 million questions as to why so long for me to report in. Then when I explained why they turn and tell me that it could not be possible because they had nothing wrong with their systems that it is just a fabrication of mine. Then when they proceeded to give me the benefit of the doubt they asked why did I not try to get back sooner, and I said because I was issued standing orders sir. Upset with my lack of enthusiasm and my report they proceeded to exercise their said frustrations and find a soothing moment in my agonies. Still unbroken, because there is nothing to break from me, they managed to become more sadistic and vicious and yet they still found no satisfaction. I must have passed out a dozen times, to me nothing made sense and my senses were less. It has only been two days and it seems like an eternity in hell already, and here I thought I stepped through the portal...

Lack of food has got me week, lack of water has got me begging for some, lack of sleep is driving me mad and yet I refuse to use my powers against them due to my loyalties regardless if they are in the wrong. Only my faith and my will to be home is keeping me together, but I fear I might not last much longer. The strange thing is it seems more like a vendetta than an interrogation because they should know that with all they've done even a superbeing would have broken by now! Yet here I bleed, starving, tortured, restless pin cushion of a man hung to see his life being slowly and sadistically taken away without compassion for the truth.

Fifth day, I now know this is a vendetta, possibly a coup, and that my usefullness to them is nill. Realizing this I now understand that the old regime is out and there is someone new in charge and that they have deemed me a threat not because I was in the USA but because I followed Castro and I would not be surprised if all his followers haven't been killed. I guess this is the price of being loyal, so be it! Struggling to breath, and stay awake, all I could think of is my family and what had become of them, the fact that this life took me away from my only love, and the fact that it was the price I paid to see a liberated Cuba one that could be re-intergrated into the world, but all I feel now is that dream slipping away slowly as I bleed drip by ever lifeending drip. I refuse to give up tho no matter how bleak, I will stay alive and I will not dishonor myself!

The funny thing is I must have passed out for a long while, I guess physically my body just could not take it anymore. The reason I said funny is because it seemed I had a conversation with an older gentleman, he seemed Fransiscan in nature, and said to me,"Child why do you despair?" Sarcastically I responded,"Isn't it obvious?" He surprisingly responds back,"No!" Confused I asked, "Why do you say No!" He answers,"Look around you boy and understand!" As I look around I see nothing but the fabled garden and joy and happiness around me, I ask,"Am I dead?" He laughs heartedly and says,"No dear boy, you are very much alive, but you seem to have forgotten what your purpose is and I am here to remind you." "Oh really!", I remark. "So what do you suppose this purpose is huh? To do my best just to see my dreams before I die goal, or better still the whole it was pointless to follow this path because people just don't care awareness track, which of the two is it?" "Oh my dear child, do you not remember your own heart, what made you choose this path to begin with? You used to believe in me then believe in me now son, that is the reason why you chose me as your patron Saint remember because you and I are a lot alike......re..mem...b...e...r......." I know that logically it was probably my subconscious and my conscious working things out in my own mind's eye, but I could not shake the feeling of comfort that washed over me, could it have truely been Saint Anthony? Patron Saint of the impossible?

I wake up in the Hospital, totally dehydrated and in pain and hell dead! As I wake up I see my old commander Juarez by my bedside. When I recovered just enough, he explained to me that the militian radicals are aspiring to take over, it is not a full coup because of the constant media blitz, and they want it so the world thinks Castro is still in charge. They know that while the world over still thinks of him as the head of cuba it will be easy for them to get the demands they so wish from allied countries and then when everything is set it will be their time to strike. He then explains that he got my sorry ass out of there and has bought me some time, but that in my condition he doesn't know if I'll be safe to move. He then furthur tells me that coming back was a huge mistake because now I'm on their radar again, the problem was that they had no way of letting me know that their true intentions were to just leave me in the USA and hopefully send communication at some point to tell me it was ok to come back or that with the newfound allies to help us in our situation, but alas neither came to fruition, and that is why they consider us now traitors. so what about dad, where is he? Castro he's fine, sickly, but fine. He still has control and the rogue death squad has to be carefull, but right now it is a very violent chess game, one that I fear Castro will loose for the first time! Can I see him? No, you can't we can't comprimise you any furthur or comprimise his position understand? I guess, but what now what do you wish for me to do now? Absolutely nothing we are going to have you recover and then send you back! Forget coming back Willy, this is no longer your home, we're dead men, keep your childish dream alive for all of us son! You never did understand why you, right? No I never did, why me? Son because although you became an impressive badass, you still maintained a sort of naivetae that had us all believe in your ideals of a better Cuba, similar to what Castro wanted before the USA turned it into a political warfare. Keep that dream alive son, now go, you must go and head back.

Days later I make it back to US ground, battered, beaten, tortured, tormented, saddened, bleeding, but not broken. I will make my way back home one day and make my dream true, but for now I carry this internally, my own personal nightmare. Here I feel like an utter failure, Dr. Fright, Del Sin, the Dragon, the team hating me, hell even that new guy Brolic, now my home that isn't and throughout all this I am to rememebr why I picked up my spellbook? Yet I have to maintain the appearance of everything being fine, that nothing is wrong in my world, and I am at the service of others when they requisition it. To think that Mr. Garrison thinks my only concern is whther I want to be loyal to him or the UN Force, I honestly could care less about either of them but I need one of the two I couldn't do this alone even if I wanted to. Wow what a mess, by the way "god" if this is your way of showing me how treuly special I am don't really you can keep it!

Extinction

Beware humans...the time of your termination will soon be at hand! You have proven yourselves beneath me, to delete you will be simple...Execute program! But unlike you humans I am a far superior program. I will wait patiently gathering the necessary intel...and then...EXTINCTION AGENDA!!!
DeLta-SEveN-9

Prodigal Outcast

Well here we are again in the "War Room" and yet again they are enlisting me into yet another one of their messes! The only thing is that it really isn't their mess, this is something that the NYSPD can handle really. The only thing that makes this "special" is that one of their team members fell in action. I know what it is to loose someone but still it seems more a personal vendetta rather than a mission, and quite honestly I'm getting sick and tired of dealing with their personal matters!

To top it off, I am now coming into question as to why am I there, and why this and why that, and why why why why why why why... Wow I have never heard so much complaining in my life, and they think themselves soldiers??? Honestly they are a blasphemy to all whom don the colors of the honor guard world wide. Besides it seems the norm to question and talk back to superiors here, wow the lack of discipline and camaraderie is insane but still I give them the benefit of the doubt because honestly I know I can not tackle everything by myself, but still they make me feel out of place.

I'm in a strange land, with strange values and strange mannerisms that would have been deemed inexcusable in my home, hell had I done even one of the many things they did I would have been executed and yet they have the nerve to question my value!!!??? Unfortunately they will learn someday how to value listening over action when one of them is felled and by that time it would be too late, heck one of them was made to feel as helpless as I feel with this team so maybe, just maybe I can have an ally in Ultra Major, but I will not hold my breath he is the epitome of America after all, a Captain America clone sort of speak.

I am concerned with this robots tactics, it is an unusual specimen in the fact that it does not do rash decisions even though they may want to paint it as such. It is extremely calculating taking into account every detail and therefore acting only in response to test theories. I am afraid that once it feels it has collected enough data it will use it to defeat the team easily and with little effort. The secret lies in it's makeup and how to defeat this fabrication. One interesting note of worth, seems that what happened to Ultra Major was purely by happenstance and go figure that peanuts are his weakness, wow! He need not worry though I need not act against him, he is not my enemy and even if he were I would be able to handle him otherwise without having to take cheap advantages. However it should never come to that if I can develop a strong rapport with him, which I hope I can.

If the robot wasn't bad enough poor Justin seems to go from bad to worse and hell it's only the beginning, he's on a level all his own with regards to "Murphy". Seems the universe is decided "TAG!, YOUR IT!" It sucks because there is nothing I can do to help him and he's one of the few that deserves my help, actually if not for him or Psyche I wouldn't even be with this team at all, these are the only two whom seem to keep the single minded focus of what needs to be done and just do it! Their teammates should take a page out of their book and learn to do the same, but I have had enough discussing what I think of the "team" it is redundant now and if they haven't gotten it they perhaps never will.

As for Brolic. Oh man I have no idea who this new guy is, but he sure as hell picked the wrong one to mess with. I am going to hate putting down someone whom is a just individual that fights for the cause but I may have no choice in doing so just to teach everyone a lesson in manners! Talk about getting off on the wrong foot, but man it just seems that I keep doing that with everyone on this team with a few minor exceptions but even then I'm not liked at all! Good news is I'm not in this for popularity purposes or ego trips, but it's going to suck even less when I humiliate this said Brolic. I honestly think he's a liability and should be put off of this mission, also he should have a psyche evaluation as well to seem if he's still fit to wear the colours and remain in active duty. The sad part is that if he were to undergo that he would be seen as unfit to continue and would then become a nuisance, a pest, an incorrigible dog that would have to be put out its misery as though he had rabies. I have never let anyone get at me ever but this one here he's done opened up a can of whoopass on himself he just doesn't know it yet.

I guess now I understand why I operated alone all these years, I just never could relate to people and the small nuances and subtleties. I have a 310 IQ, wield reality as my toy, expertly trained in tech and medicine, and I have a fascination for all things Alien. Yeah to call me weird is an understatement, so I walk my path alone as always just doing what I need to do to maintain my own sanity. I don't hate my life but I have grown to accept my fate, now I just have to carry it out with honor and dignity, despite the nay-sayers, I will face my end standing on my feet giving my all for what I believe is right and that is the feeling I'm holding on to despite all the fiasco that has occurred. Not that I care for the accolades or to even be a footnote, but my hope is to have been able to make a difference just once in my life in order for my parents to be proud of me no matter where they are now, may god keep them save! Funny how one's Demons seem to grab a hold of them when pitted to face obscurity.

Commisar's Logue

Bozche Moi!!! Dragon...we fought dragon. In all my years(and there have been many) I have never encountered a dragon, read about but never fought(that's one to scratch off to do list) And yet again we emerge triumphant. Finally am feeling camraderie towards teammates...I think we are how you say"Gluing" Da! Teamwork is now becoming priority as it should be. Justin stepped up when needed, Azalea took fight to wizard...& nearly bested him...save some for us Cessna! Shinobi got us out of hell in proverbial"Scratch of time" But this Prodigy is coward always wanting to run from fight...Shtoi! In end he and I teamed up to defeat wizard...by plunging spetnaya's blade in his gut I am sure he will be remembering me as we fell 40ft into lake below...but I am okay...him not so much. When we return to base must have conversation with Major Ultra about team coordination & precision...needs work!

Prodigal Inspiration

Wow here we are locked in life and death battle and although we took a little while to coordinate Beta and I make for a great team and short work of the enemy. Azalia was equally impressive, overall when the chips were stacked against us the team stepped it up like no one else could have. Justin shined in his moment of leadership showing us why he is a fit leader, his tactical insight helped us all keep focus and deal with the enemy in a very decisive manner, and what impressed me most with very little casualties dispite the excessiveness of our force.

How humiliating to be trapped in a Carpet of Adhesion, but it at least confirmed that the wizard was still at hand, Azalia is our best weapon against him but the problem is she will not defer from her mindset to listen to tactics, frustrating. You would figure that I would know my own weaknesses thereby provide us with the adavntage to deal with said bug! No! She wanted to do it her way and her way alone, I guess it's ok since I'm not an official member but one would think I'm trying to help not hinder them.

Once I was able to break free the amulet showed us the location to which where we needed to be. Azalia scouting ahead engaged the enemy, again it was the wizard, again I wanted to help he make short work of him, again she closed off communications! Fine she'll learn the hard way that sooner or later you need to depend on those that are there assissting you whether or not they are teammates. Obviously we had the same common goal as I was still going with them from encounter to encounter, trust issues, gees! She was able to handle the wizard rather easily till she got jumped by someone else which we found out by the time we got there was a second wizard.

With Azalia out of commission momentarily it provided the second wizard enough time to release the dragon! Prior to engagement I had coordinated with Beta and explained to him the power of my most powerfull stealth spell and explained to him that he could not take an offensive action or thought of any kind until the very last moment before he struck! Understanding this he made a b-line for Zshang Long whom had the Talisman. When we got there what do we see but 60ft. long and 30ft. tall Dragon, DAMN! This is go to time and there is no room for excuses!

When the battle was said and done we emered victorious but not unscathed and not without the feeling of damn not again, since Zshang Six the father of the dragon delivered his judgement upon those who wished to usurp the power of the dragon. So empty handed we return home, exhausted but victorious, we now have to sit and wait to see what next, no sooner do we get off the plane than we are being summoned to action yet again. Commander Cinder has offered now a second invite to join the team and I said due to my loyalties to Mr. Garrison he would have to have that conversation with him first and then I can make my decision. I have gotten much needed rest but I still feel heavy from the toll of this last adventure, but with this last victory there is nothing we as a team can not do, so watch ot villians we're comming for you all!

Prodigious Shortfall

Wow I always thought I'd end up in Hell but not this soon, and just as I thought I don't like it. Funny when you think of controlling the power I do you feel defiant, as though you can not be stopped no matter what the odds. What gaul must I have to think I can stand up to hell! Regardless if this is a foolhearty sentiment or not it is exactly what must be done for the sake of the entire world.

The team seems to want to coordinate better but still we're running around as though we're rookies. Azalia and Beta were constantly bickering and Justin just doesn't seem comfortable in the leadership role, but then again let's face it you're asking a tinkerer and thinker to make rash decisions over life and death! Talk about rude awakening. I want to be part of the team but I feel I'm reclusing myself more and more from them, they feel I take actions on my own without consultation or orders, but they have yet to notice I will talk only when spoken to, and I will act in the best interest of all not just me. Everyone has their unique strengths and they're being wasted because of lack of cohesiveness.

Although we managed to get out of Hell and overcome the insurmountable odds we faced we are still far from solving this one. To top it off here we are now being surrounded once again and this time without my Magic! Things just can't get any worse, well they can but I can't think of that right now. One thing is for sure even if I have to drive my bike top speed into those lead cars I will, but if I have to go down in this encounter then it will be fighting up until my last breath, maybe with my sacrifice I can inspire someone to succeed.

Commisar's logue

Stupid monkies!!! Bozche moi! We are no closer to finding dragon talisman than we were 2 days ago. And as usual Tovarisch the fate of the world hangs in balance. Without Ultra major to lead the, team seems to be running around like the proverbial "chicken" with its head cut off bickering about this, arguing about that...Shtoi! In C.C.C.P. my leadership would not be questioned but here among these soft liberals I feel I am how u say "goose out of water" And now for the past hours I cannot shake the images out of my head of seeing my Nataliya and little Boriastz dying at my hands in a nuclear holocaust...the monkies did something to my head...Shtoi! Now were in hell... I feel I must clear cobwebs and soon, team is counting on me...I will not let them down. Stupid Monkies!!!

Prodigal Stump

Wow, to say that I have no clue is an understatement! Let's see we are on our way to the Omashu Province, wherein we were first greeted by quicksilver monkies. STUPID MONKIES! Just to see our advancement thwarted by a simple infernal demon. I gave him one my best combos and he laughed at me! Talk about it being an ego deflator and self esteem crusher. Now we're in Hell no less. Sometimes I wonder if I am on the right side of things, doing this job is unforgiving and ill rewarding, if it were not because I care to keep breathing normal air rather than fire and brimestone I might have at one point considered turning a new coal sort of speak. Enough about my woes though, we're ill equiped for these encounters and our only hope is to find the required items to warrant some control over the events. Problem is that the more we want to end this fiasco the more they want to stump us, forgive the pun. With the amulet and scroll still out there hope is not lost, just have to get to it. STUPID MONKIES!

Prodigious Rage

Where to start? I don't know what's happening to me, it seems the pressure is getting to me something awefull. I'm getting irritable and sarcastic and damn right rude! Bella had no need for my snide remarks, she could be a potential asset that I might have just pushed away, even though I tried to recover from. Those little demons almost got the best of me just because I'm so distracted and narrow minded, how could I be so stupid? I'm resourceful and thanks to that I managed to survive and a little luck, but I could have easily been a mere vague memory, worse yet a statistic! I need to find my center, time for my breakdown of discipline has to wait for another time, it's to important to breakdown now. Or maybe that's my problem I take this way to seriously when I know that what I can do is what I can do and so be it. I'm isolating myself more and more and instead of earning the trust of others I'm just going to get their ire. Unlike them I have no team of my own or group I relate to, and instead of making things better I am making things worse. I have to keep it from collapse, didn't know that Dr. Fright would affect me so, I've handled loses before but this one in particular is driving me to the point of insanity.

Thank goodness the team is functioning as such. This is my first time at being there first hand and although not perfect evryone has clearly defined roles and what their actions are going to be, but not so ridged were they are incapable of making the decisions needed. I just need to do my job, that's it, slowly allow myself to blend into the fold, and develop the mental toughness to handle what's coming. I just hope we can recover one of the three remaining components to be able to thwart the Dragon's release. The issue at hand is all the other parties that are after the same prize, some to do what we've set out to do and save the world, and others to accelerate the deliverance to the Dragon God and it's allies.

One of the keys we do have, the image of the Talisman and it's possible location, and the fact that we've run into the Wise man, Ling whom can assist us with the location of the scroll of understanding which was used in the first defeat of the Dragon. I think this scroll contains the information however cryptic it may be to the locations of the other items we seek. There is a force at hand that is guiding the select few and I'm in the process to develop a collaborative effort next chance I get to seek that which is guiding us through the visions. I know it sounds weird but there has to be a reason why only the sensitive received the vision as opposed to the mundane. The other side to this is my growing weiryness of so much power at hand. So many start on the noble cause to help save the world but how will my colleagues react when face to face with being a true god! Heck I worry about myself as well, I hold true power in my hands by which I command reality to bend at my whim but this has got to be sireal, how am I going to fair in it's tempting delight? Things just got more complicated, anyways hopefully I can recover from my own faults before we actually have to get to that point much less cross that bridge.

The Legend of the Dragon Talisman

This transcript is from events that recently happened with the team. I was unfortunately in Canada on business. But this was what was told to me about the artifact that they are looking for.

In ancient times the nations of Asia were connected spiritually and by mythology. China and Tibet were neighboring countries and were rules by Kings and Warriors. It came to pass one day that the 4 Dragon Kings decided to visit earth through a dimensional Portal. Bestowing mankind with great knowledge and power. They were Dragon of the East: Ao Guang Dragon of the South: Ao Qin Dragon of the West: Ao Run Dragon of the North: Ao Shun. Tibet whose spiritual nature was that of piece were approached by the 4 dragons and offered great power. The monks that resided in the Temple, where the talisman was stolen from, at that time refused the offer the Dragon Kings made for power. They just sought the wonderment of heaven and peace. The Dragon Kings were impressed by their nature o and instead of providing them with great power provided them with great understanding and were given a scroll. The Monks were told that their choice would one day soon save the world from imminent destruction.

The Dragon Kings then visited China. The ruling Dynasty at the time was at war with another nation. The Emperor that met with them gladly took the power that was offered to defeat his enemies. Thus one of the sons of the Dragon Kings was sent to earth to lay waste to Emperors enemies. Which led to a great victory. For a time it seemed that a bond between man and Dragon God could lead to a long and prosperous future. Until the Dragon Child felt that he could over throw his father and his council.

He first turned against the Emperor who he fought for and lay destroyed his Kingdom. He moved across Asia and then landed finally in Tibet. Heading towards the Tibet the Monks sensed the imminent danger that was to befall their land. Word had spread quickly and during a time when technology was not what it is today, word of mouth was just as easily able to provide information immediately. The Monks took the scroll of understanding that was provided to them along with a few other key ingredients and fashioned a small Talisman. Then 4 Monks headed to town and waited for the Dragon to arrive.

After decimating a number of villages the Dragon approached the village where the 4 monks wait for his arrival. The Dragon laughed and said what do 4 foolish mortals in robes think they can do to me that many men with swords, explosives and futile weapons could not. His answer came in a few short words, which were written, on the scroll. With the talisman held in the air and the monks chanting together the Dragon found himself being drawn into the Talisman. He could not fight it and was entrapped in the small object.

The monks kept the Talisman for safe keeping at the temple. The 4 Dragon Kings came back to earth and thanked the monks for doing the deed necessary. The Father of the Dragon Hatchling that was imprisoned set a spell additionally on the Talisman and cursed him with the chance that if he was ever to be freed he would only obey that who wields the talisman. The Dragon son did not like this and swore one day that he would get freedom.

Word spread across all of China and Tibet and all of Asia about the legend of the Dragon Talisman. The Monks for centuries have kept it safe. They also have a number of guardians who are to retrieve the Talisman and destroy anyone without prejudice that may try to use the Talisman for it’s evil purposes. They say it is the most powerful artifact in the world and should the wrong person wield it. It could mean this world’s destruction. Only a man of great magic and understanding could wield such power.

May god Help us ! Good Luck Team.

Prodigy Rising

Well I have had a few hours to collect myself and think of what to do. First thing is first I must prepare for this encounter because taking the time now will definately save everyone's life later. It is unusual for me to take the lead like this since I've always been ordered what to do and I have actually grown comfortable with that. Now however: no orders, no guidance from people I trust, thrust into these chaotic events and feeling less secure of my place; current circumstances have demanded I step up into my own. I've always been one to logically think things through so what I must tackle first is the immenent problem at hand even though I may sacrifice any chance of getting home, but so be it, what use is it to go home if there won't be one for much longer after I arrive? I finally found the location of a legitamate Ley Line, and I'm going there to store up in as much energy as possible. The new found spell will allow me to take advantage of this precious energy and will be extremely usefull in times of crisis since I will be able to accomodate my more powerful spells.

Next I will have to do some research on this artifact they spoke of and the connection to the dream, there must have been a clue in it to whom to turn to. Then I might be ready to go to China and undergo the investigation properly, searching for the right clues and saving precious time. Someone also has to investigate the transport in which said artifact was in and interview the crew and see if we can piece together anything that anyone else may have missed. I like Sebastian's idea of tagging and following the Chinese curator, it's too much of a coincidence having gone through what we went through. I feel the sense of urgency for the matter at hand but I feel going into this head first literally will only lead to many deaths including our own. The trick is going to be to convince those who think they know what to do to go against their better judgement and trust someone who has yet to prove himself to them, yeah this should be a piece of cake...

I wish I could go home first, but this is a sacrifice I make for the greater good and the betterment of my people and my way of life. I also fear I may be loosing my roots to this capitalistic nature it's so aluring, tempting like that of a succubusses' kiss. It is difficult to see that our way is better when greed surrounds everyone here and disguise it as capitalist nature. It is becoming difficult to keep my sanity amongst these holier than thou americans, sometimes it makes me want to scream at their arrogance. However I was trained to do this job, and my purpose although still unclear is to follow orders untill otherwise ordered not to, yes I know the irony in that and how it is a paradox I live but servitude for the greater good is always its truest satisfaction. Do not get me wrong I am not altruistic I'm just someone who still believes in the human soul and that something good can come from it still. all these years Castro has been persecuted as the perpetrator of evil but it is only due to the Capitalist refusal to understand what true equality is, and although power corrupts I would like to think that those base principles still exist as Castro had once proposed.

Now my problem how do I relate truely to the people I dislike and then have them understand my reasoning for what I am about to do without incurring suspicion on myself and earning the trust I was ordered to gain and maintain? These individuals are just that individuals, they act rash and hastefully. It is I guess more about personal glory than working for the common cause. I don't even think they truely have a common cause or a personal belief or stake in what they do. Such a different mindset altogether how can I possibly earn their respect long enough for them to trust in my judgement? I know why it has become paramount for me to earn said respect, but can I gain it in time, or do I go about my own agenda and hope to reconcile later if at all. Worst yet what if I succeed everyone will automatically assume I did it for personal glory and benefit when the reality is I did it to save us all, because the dream was just the beginning of something far more terrifying than living in the world we live now, and I hate to admit that this makes Dr. Fright look like a walk in the park. Talk about chosing between the worst of two evils. May God save our souls and watch over us, this time we need all the help we can get.

Major Players

It's my job to make sure my "Company" doesn't die !! As a team we play for high stakes. Mistakes can be costly, even deadly. They say chains are only as strong as their weakest link, and they're right. As the team leader for U.N Force Alpha, I've made it my personal responsibility to make sure that we don't show any form of weakness to our enemies. I've been given a great team to work with. I know we weren't the first draft pick , but we are no slouches either.

This entry is to provide the information about each team member and the role they play on the team. I will site both strengths and weaknesses to better get an idea on how to make us work effectively as a team. I will be also heading up more practice sessions. It's my belief that increased training and more effective drills will be necessary to become a cohesive unit.

Ultra Major (Merrill Jacobs)

Country:U.S.A
Status:Active

Tactical Position:Team Leader
Strengths:Skilled military soldier. Superhuman strength , Invulnerability, Flight and Speed. Compassionate and proud to lead the people I am working with. Thorough knowledge of the teams strengths and weaknesses of the team I command.Willing to be the first line of defense to protect the liberties of all of the country and the world.
Problems:As of right now my biggest problem is remembering protocol with other countries and communicating properly. My other problem is learning to lead a group of individuals that don't quite know me that well and aren't all nearly as tough as me. I wouldn't send someone to do something I won't do myself. Getting my team to trust my judgement and not always question my decision is the hardest thing about being a leader. Even if you quietly agree with their thought process, my decision is final and I can't waver on it. Even if it fails.

Azalea (Azalea Moonsun)
Country:U.S.A (Hawaii)
Status: Active
Tactical Position: Environmental Support/Air Support
Strengths:Azalea is the most social of us all. I'm kind of a stick in the mud country fella. But Azalea really knows how to be a "free spirit" ! This allows for great interaction amongst the team to get to know each other. In combat Azalea is my second string. She has a myriad of useful super abilities. It's hard to keep up. She is supposedly some sort of "Sea Goddess" which provides her a level of immortality, super human strength and durability. Though not possessed of invulnerability like myself her recovery time is phenomenal. Not many people could take a punch from a creature like the Denizen (see case file #1) and then be back to her perky self in a matter of minutes. She can speak to sea creatures, project bolts of electricity from her fingertips and manipulate the ocean, swim great speeds and even fly. Her versatility makes her a great asset to the team and I'm sure she knows it.
Problems: I always worry that her free spirit doesn't keep her focused on the job at hand. She is a beautiful women and though it's her personal choice to have whatever tryst she deems fit. I wonder if it will ever interrupt our progress in the field. I admit she can keep me off my "A" game if I succumb to her flirtatious ways at the wrong time. It's a delight at times and the attention is definitely welcome, especially considering my "divorce". But I have to sometimes remind her to do that when we're done. Despite this I can trust her to have my back both professionally and dare I say it emotionally.

BETA (Nikita Koloff)
Country:Russia
Status:Active
Tactical Position:Perimeter Assault/Long Range Attack
Strengths:Commissar Beta is my "counterpart" in his country. He still prefers to call it Mother Russia. I'm not knocking that. The one thing I can relate to when it comes to Beta is the love of ones country. He hasn't been on the team long but he has shown a great zest for friendship and camaraderie towards his teammates. His previous experience as a soldier as well as a super powered hero in his country makes him a great addition to the groups dynamic. His Radiation powers are explosive and and he's nigh invulnerable. He also possess great superhuman strength as well. He's one tough sonovagun. His powers can come in handy with certain situations and his experience in combat is excellent. I understand he can even see through walls. A great way to infiltrate visually before entering a situation. I understand he was engineered to have a living containment suit which allows his radiation to stay in check and not be harmful. My morning jogging partner he's just as disciplined about staying in shape , not so much physically since we've been both re engineered to be something else, but mentally in shape to prepare for what my come our way.
Problems:I'm not political. It's not what I'm about. I'm a soldier. Not that everything is black and white either, but Beta is very political. His beliefs about communism are his beliefs. Again I won't knock him for his principles but sometimes it extends in the wrong direction. He's a little rough around the edges and from what I was told seems to be very brutally domineering towards our prisoners. Look no one has to like a villain. Most of them are scum and I'm sure we have all felt at some point or another that the most diabolical ones should be put down like dogs. But Beta seems like he would do it without prejudice. I have to keep an eye on him because despite our growing friendship if he steps out of line I'll have to be ready to take him down. I agree that we need to find a way to prevent the villains from causing more tyranny,but we have rules and protocol. We're not just American heroes , we are international heroes and every criminal , foreign and domestic has a right to a fair trial. Despite that he's a team player and all around good comrade in arms. Like Azalea he's someone I know would have my back when it comes to a massive throw down.

Just Incredible (Justin Credible)
Country:U.S.A
Status:Active
Tactical Position:Logistics Coordinator/Tech Support
Strengths:Justin is smart..I mean really smart !! Despite his lack of physicality. What he lacks in muscle he makes up in brain. His tactical expertise is very useful in the field. Though he has no military experience his ability to see the field from his unique perspective allows for great strategic advancement. Not only that his knowledge in the field of robotics, engineering and computers is beneficial on all those cases that are more cerebral in nature. He holds a number of degrees and I understand one of them is even in medicine. This makes him an asset in the event anyone is injured and needs medical assistance. He also has a few gadgets that lend help to situations. This is his first time doing anything like this. I wonder how he's getting along being around a group of "super people".
Problems:Justin is smart....I mean really smart !! He lacks the physicality that would usually protect someone like myself, Beta, heck even Shinobi. I tend to realize that unlike Shinobi, who is a seasoned combatant, Justin doesn't have extreme combat skills. I tend to use him what he's good at which is staying in the background or assisting with crowd control and the injured. But he's a capable soldier like all of us and shouldn't be coddled. I'm also a little concerned about this miracle drug he takes before going on missions. Is it something that they are allowing. I mean it's not illegal steroids I assume, but what if any side effects can come from trying to "keep up with the Joneses". I think Justin has a lot of potential. He's in someways more human than Shinobi because of the frailty we have to worry about. But his strength of conviction and his willingness to succeed seem to be his greatest asset.

Sebastian Psyche
Country:U.S.A
Status:Active
Tactical Position:Intelligence/Profiling
Strengths:I haven't worked with Sebastian Psyche long enough. But I understand when he was on the Premier team with Rayn that he proved to be a reliable member. His mental acuity gives him the power to read minds, influence the minds of others and somehow even paralyze his victims with but a thought. He can also see the past and future by just touching something. Useful tools to gather intel. Sebastian also possesses a keen eye for detail and his detective skills are very useful. Though we have plenty of clearance it's good to know that his police connections might be useful for certain situations. Him and Justin have seemed to form a bond. Maybe it's because you have not one but two geniuses in the room able to asses a situation that might happen. Sebastian possesses and unusual toughness and a number of other abilities as well. I read his file before. His situation is delicate, but it seems to be something that he has become a strength to organization. I'm happy to have him. He and Azalea were part of that first team, I hope they don't feel slighted by my replacing Rayn. But it seems that so far alls well.
Problems:His situation is delicate. I have to consult with him one day to see if there is something we should do if things get, out of hand. He is someone who could easily become a dangerous situation if left unchecked. I wonder if Rayn worried about this ? Heck I'm hoping he does. If not for his situation I'd probably do the same thing I do with Justin and utilize his talents in battle from a distance. But it seems I don't have to worry about that. But I do have to worry. Saying I might have to stop a team member for getting out of line is one thing having to destroy a team member because they have no control over what they are is another. Until that time I reserve judgement and encourage Sebastians participation in the team dynamic.

Shinobi (Wu Nakamura)
Country:Japan
Status:Active
Tactical Position:Reconnaissance/Stealth/Melee Assault
Strengths:Experience. In a nutshell that's what Shinobi has. Worlds of fighting experience. I might have been revived because of my "special" circumstances and my age is due to that stasis I was in. But Shinobi is like a living immortal warrior. He's seen it all and done it all. Hard to believe he made his debut on a local superhero team that didn't receive much accolades for their hard work. But he had proven results and then graduated twice to bigger teams. Justice Inc. and now us. I mean he's a Ninja. In most cultures he's a villain, a hired assassin, someone who works in the shadows to provide clandestine services. Just the opposite. He's still a ninja, but he's on our side. Whatever techniques he's learned over the years. He's a phenomenal combatant in the field. He almost single handedly took down the Denizen. Something I think even had I battled the creature I would have had a hard time doing. His stealth and art of being invisible to the opponent has come in handy many times. I've sparred with the man. He's surprisingly cunning and has defeated me more than once. Invulnerable or not his ability to be surrounded by beings more powerful than him and still hold his own is very impressive.
Problems:At times I think Shinobi can be a little out of touch with a situation. He can also have the tendency to rush headlong into a battle without thinking first. He has been beaten out of his armor more than enough times and though it is the state of the art protection, one hit from the wrong person and the long life he has endured could be snuffed out in seconds. I try to trust his battle instincts because he is an ancient warrior.He's seen war and death and I rather that he can survive long enough that he doesn't have to experience his own by making the wrong decision.

I will not compare my team to Rayns. She did it first and her team was a very formidable group individuals. I'm sure our leadership styles are different. But just like her I am learning to know my team. We eat sleep and breathe the same air on a daily basis. It's hard to find harmony in ones group. But like any relationship it has to be worked on. I believe my team is prepared to handle anything that comes our way. We just need to find the right balance to make it work.
We have the strength skill and passion to make it work. It's my job to try to see that work recognized and the goals we want to achieve fulfilled.

Prodigal Son Engages

Well who would have thought I was going to be rewarded for my half ass job? It is nice to know that someone cares enough for the effort given but I really felt awkward accepting the praise and the vacation, honestly it felt like hush money and pink slip to me, but I will stick to my training and for now I have to be loyal to my employer. The fantastic thing is that due to the 'cart blanche' ticket that he gave me I can actually go home and find out why I have been out of touch with them for over a year now. Just that when it seems like I'm ready to get a good foothold of my life and the events surrounding it something new pops up. What a crazy dream last night! Dragons and ogres and orcs and goblins and shadowy spooky creatures, OH MY! Sounds like a children's book gone horribly wrong, where Hansel and Gretel don't get away from the wicked witch. The other thing is, I never knew there to exist our known geographical cultures then as it is now, so how were they Chinese or should I be politically correct and say Asians? That dream was a little disconcerting due to it showing us giving yet another poor performance, not good! Not only that there is a colleague at arms that has a little of a heavy hand by the name of Beta, he needs to be kept an eye on, he might end up causing more damage than the enemy. I think the team has great potential, but the leadership seems lacking. We're totally disorganized and we head into the situation head first without thought of self preservation, which would not be bad if there was at least someone guiding the group and making intelligent decisions. Not sure how the U.N. Force would take my criticism, but someone needs to make them aware of teamwork and quick. Anyways right now it's difficult enough as it is since my communication with that team is limited to Justin and Sebastian. The other problem I foresee is that since I'm not part of the group I may have to make arrangements to go to China myself, which I guess it's ok since I do need to make preparations, and urgent ones at that. Well at least one good thing will come out of this, I'll get exposure to the possibility of getting more firsthand knowledge of my discipline and maybe coming away with a few boons, maybe. Hopefully I can still have time to visit home, that is becoming a concern to me, it's been much longer than last time and my orders are getting old, I have found out all I can and positioned myself as I needed to, so I need to know what my next move is supposed to be. I like with everything else will place my personal log in an independent hard drive isolated of any other connections with the hopes to someday be able to hand in my detailed reports to my commander. I'm glad I'm a mage, because it's taken a degree of 'magic' to be able to still maintain my sanity with all the craziness that's developing, lol. nonetheless, I will maintain the course and continue on my previous orders as long as I can and continue to write my reports. Now to go conquer a dragon and go home, let's hope it's in that order.

Prodigal Son Emerges

Hard to say what I think about the U.N. Forces and their work, but one thing is for sure they have the right mind frame. Their heart is in the right place too although I may not agree with them all the time either. I on the other hand am interested to see how I'll fit into this group if ever. At the moment my employment is for Garrison Enterprises and although in this last mission there are some dubious questions and concerns I have, I prefered to let down Ultra Major easily and still remain under the Garrison Flag for the time being. This last set of events have left a bad taste in my mouth as I am sure it has for everyone else, regardless of political believes, but a maniacal megalomaniac consumed with utter distruction and reshaping of the world under their twisted image will do that to you. Unfortunately the only thing I have to go by is what I have recently experienced concerning Dr. Fright, which isn't much and what little it is isn't great news either. I know he's smart and tactful, very dangerous combinations to start with. Has an aptitude for technology that allowed for him to circumvent all modern tech with low end electronics to create a device that would rally and coordinate the satellite systems. Always one step ahead it is difficult to determine what he's really about. At the final stages he was already at the Garrison International Communications complex finishing whatever sequence he was imputting into the computer systems and we yet have no idea as to what for. What is clear is that his plans B,C, D, E, F...etc are better prepared than ours, almost as though he's in our heads somehow. Ok so he couldn't link and control the satellites, big deal, he gathered 19 of the most nortorious criminals and banded to form a criminal conglomarate that we are sure to here from often and frequently. Had I been who I used to be he would not have gotten away without some revenge being extracted, damn I hate being made a fool! Just more questions than answers right now, too many! Well all I can do now is just sit and wait, ever so vigilant, sooner or later he's got to make a mistake and I'll be there to catch him, he'd better pray that the rest of the team is there and I'm not alone with him. Nothing worse than to go head to head with an enemy who's prepared unfortunately for him so am I.

Commisar's log

I have arrived in the U.S. of A . and have met a few of my teammates from this U.N.Force:Alpha. I don't know how I will fit in on a team with such liberals ideals, I am a communist and proud of it! Communism is the only way a government can maintain a foothold on it's people and ultimately protecting them from themselves. Crime is running rampant, prostitution & drug trafficking are staples in this country. A sterner hand(an iron fist) is needed in a extreme circumstance such as this. Perhaps I shall seek out like-minded individuals and educate the masses on the greatness of the teachings of Marx, Lenin & Stalin.
A team of terrorists attacked an amerikan airport, unfortunately some innocents were killed but in the end we caught 3 of the terrorists. I believe they were called the D.E.B.T. I was in the process of interrogating 1 of them when my teammates softness and lack of dedication to getting the job done came bursting through. They were not fond of my "interrogation methods" I doubt if they have intestinal fortitude to see a job through till it's bitter conclusion. I thought we were supposed to stop terrorism, not wait for it to strike again & claim more innocent lives???
