CHAPTER 1a: A New 'Wolf' is born
Victor Hood was born on October 13th, during a full moon no less, To Vincent and Thalia Hood and was immediately baptised into clan hood at his young age. Red Haired and Green eyed Victor, often described as 'Strong and Smart' by his parents and fellow clansman, was introduced into training at the young and tender age of 4 in which he obtained a remarkable talent at archery by the age of 16. Hour after Hour of training with his father also gave him a vast knowledge of martial arts and martial arts weapons inluding katars,staffs and others. By the mature age of 17 he was given a seal clad in gold with a bright,shining image meant to resemble Fenrir, A Fearsome Wolf in Norse Mythology, Son of Loki and murderer. The seal passed down by each chosen clansman through either death,will or banishmeant,given to all chosen boys at 17, was bestowed upon Victor for his " Amazing Skill and Courage" as so proudly was stated by his Father,Vincent,during their festival meant to bestow such an honor to any worthy young man and honor their mythological beast Fenrir. Proudly Victor with the clans symbol reflecting his green eyes,accepted this highly presticious honor. Gleaming and yet with a heavy, aching heart he stated " I have trained my whole life for this seal, My only regret is that my mother and father are not alive to see this moment"
CHAPTER 1b: His parents love and demise: Part 1
Victor's Mother Thalia worked as the clan's doctor. She had an astute knowledge of alchemy and herbal medicine and remedies in which she passed down to Victor. Countering that, His Father was one of the most respected and feared warriors of the clan,known all around the land as the "DeiWolfs", He commanded the various battlefields in which he and his comrades fought with a vicious and swift fist. But his fathers commanding presence could not repair their crumbling relationship with thier neighboring Irish faction headed by there leader ClaidMor. The two clans, separated by many many miles, had a very shaky trade relationship. Vincent's clan would make goods such has whiskey, gold armor and many other jewels in return for Orin, a valuable substance in which was scarce in The Deiwolfs staked territory, which was what there livelihoods depended on to drive there fragile economy and which was why Claidmor's Clan was so much richer.
The date was a rainy and stormy day in December. Both clans had traveled afar, over a 3 day period, nearly 2000 miles to meet for an attempted re-negotiation of the trade agreement. Vincent,co-sided by his second liutenant Oli Greenberger, surveyed the landscape. "Sir I see them." Oli stated while looking as well. " Ah Good they actually showed this time" Vincent replied, casually stroking his bright red beard " Get the cavalry up to that cliff and tell them to get there bows and arrows prepared. Oli responded "Sir I Dont think-- To which Vincent interrupted " Trust Me Oli, This has to be done in a one on one manner. Its not going to help anyone if my men and his men are gritting teeth at each other.". "Understood Vince, I hope for our sake your right."oli said. he then turned to his troops and shouted "MEN, YOU HEARD HIM, MOVE UP TO THE CLIFFS!". Vincent then glanced down to the approaching ClaidMor and preceded as well until they met in the middle. Staring intensely at each other, Claidmor said " Im elated you could make it Vincent Hood of Hood Manor" he then proceeded to put the intended new trade parchment on a stone tablet rooted in the middle. He then said in a sarcastic tone " Are you familiar with the law of all clans?" "Watch your Tongue ClaidMor!I know the laws in which i studied" Vincent said in a sharp tone. ClaidMor scoffed " Then you'll remember well, that any breach of our trade agreement will have to be remedied by an additional charge. "Charge? Your demands outlive our means of production." Vincent responded as he grabbed the parchment and ripped it up as he continued to say" My People cannot produce your so called needed garbage. Our economy is in shambles and we have been drained dry." Tensions were at a all time high understandably so,their relationship had deiteriated and was at the point of no return. " Well since you have no intention of agreeing or obeying the laws. I see no other alternative then to cut you down right now.
At this point they had both had their hands on the hilts of of their respective swords. There was no chance of going back now. "JUST TRY IT, SCUM" Vincent boomed has they both unsheathed thier swords. Both Vincent's and Claidmor's men had drew and prepared their bow and arrow to cut down the opposing clan leader. The dark and stormy weather seemed to match the current situation incredibly well, as if the gods knew of the potienal deaths that might take place. "So what the bloody hell are we waiting for" Vincent said. Oli eyes shifted nervously "There is too many of them. We're hoplessly outnumbered, we have no goddam chance of surviving this mess.he then glanced at the cavalry "Men lower your weapons,NOW!". He then shouted to Vincent " SIR WE CANNOT FIGHT THEM! WE HAVE TO RETREAT." Vincent was hesitant to do so but he knew Oli was right. "Okay, there is no need to be hasty. Both of us are in a shitty position. No matter what may happen to our men WE will BOTH die regardless of which side is victorius." ClaidMor,with a bead of sweat forming on his brow at his impending doom, put away his sword. "This is far from over Hood. You better be looking behind your shoulders at all times." "MEN MOVE OUT!" And with a flash of lightning, Claidmor had dissapeared, it seemed, in an instant. As Oli walked up to Vincent's side, Vincent said " Everything has gone straight to hell. I just put my men and you in danger. Now we are stuck with no agreement." To which Oli< putting his hand on Vincent replied " It was bound to happen Sir. Even Fenrir himself couldnt have saved this broken relationship. "But how are we going to survive? No orin means no food,clothes, no basic ammenadies" Vincent said in a slightly louder, rushed tone of voice. " ClaidMor is a greedy power hungry rich fool. He will get whats coming to him eventually. It will be tough for a few months but we can look for more orin rich areas. We should get to trekkin home now. Vincent smiled " Yes thats a good idea. its Victor's 17th birthday in a couple of days. He will be elated at the festivities. Okay men Lets go home."
CHAPTER 1c: His parents love and demise: Part 2
It was a sunny day in the elitist town of Briadshard, and in the highest tower in the center of the populated city, Claidmor stood on the balcony staring down at the cityy when a soilder with three cloaked figures entered the hall. The soilder saluted while he said "SIR, The elders have arrived." Cladmoir turned " AW yes thank you. My wise and distinguished guests please take a seat. We have very urgent business to discuss. Each Elder walked in a straight line towards a seemingly comfortable couch as Cladmior walked to and behind a marble counter to conjure up some drinks. He then looked up at the elders, " The Elders of Elitism, Greed, and Segregation. My distinguished Guests, An urgent affair as just arose concerning the Deiwolfs!." he continued but was interrupted by one of the elders. The Elder of Greed who was a tad taller then the other's spoke " We are fully aware of the state of the trade agreement." The Elder of elitism began to speak " The shabby Deiwolfs are now unable to adhere to the agreement." Then, as if in a pattern the last elder, The Elder of segregation, spoke in a hoarse voice." If its fully certain that they are inconsolable and cannot fulfill their end of the agreement then certain measures must be taken to ensure our stable future."
ClaidMoir took a sip of the spiced rum he was preparing and spoke curiously " What measures have the elders proposed?" " We feel its time for a statement to be made to all the neighboring clans and regions. To all who dare oppose us. The Punishment will be swift and utter annihilation."said the elder of greed. Claidmor eyes widened and he said elated " Such a Big and Huge Resort it is. We have at least 100 reserve soldiers in waiting. "THEN ITS SETTLED!" the elder of green boomed with delight " You are to conjure up those troops as well as the main ranks to storm to Deiwolfs territory and carry out our proposal, and you are to leave none alive,understood? "Just what i want to hear wise ones" Claidmor said happily " Consider your wishes done! We will leave as soon as the sun is at its lowest tonight." And that was that, the set of events that would shape Victor's whole future was set into motion, his revenge,his redemption, his future life as a superhero, and his new family.
It grew dark and still as drums began to sound and torches were lit. A long ivory table was evident with a fantastic array of food and at the head of the table sat 17 year old Victor in a fancy over sized chair clad in jewels in which funnily enough made Vic look even smaller than he actually was and as he sat gleaming at all the food,his parents sat to his side enjoying the festivities as well. Now, normally Vincent sat in the decorative chair at the head, but this was Victors birthday and also he was to be presented with the the gold seal of Fenrir as well that belonged at that time to his father and by allowing Vic to sit at the head he was, without saying it, passing the torch to Victor. Vincent tore into a turkey leg as Oli walked towards him. "AW what a great great celebration this is my friend!" Oli said as he put his hand on Vincent's shoulder to which Vincent replied " A great celebration indeed for my strong young son! how are you enjoying your food Vic?" "Its really good..." Victor said even though his speech was slurred for he was eating while talking. "Such a hearty feast for a hearty lad." Oli said while laughing hard. Everyone was enjoying the circus like atmosphere full of music, dancing, fire breathers and drums. Meanwhile at the northern point at a lookout point stationed about several feet from the festivities a Guard was stationed as lookout. He suddenly noticed a huge mass of spears with silver blades at the tip. He looked through a brass telescope in which the mass was revealed to be soldiers with the Briadshard symbol on there armor. The soldier immediately sounded a horn loud enough to warn everyone despite the loud goings on. Victor and his father noticed the horn,thanks to there acute sense of hearing, a second before the other patrons, a second that seemed to make all the difference in the world.
Flame Arrows began appearing as if out of thin air from all around them. They we're flanked. As the arrows pierced through the tent, many were hit. "THALIA GET VIC TO SAFETY!" Vincent shouted loudly as the clansmen began to get there wits about and as Oli grabbed his and Vincent's sword in which he handed to Vincent. Thalia grabbed Victors arm in a rushed manor and yanked him from the chair. Victor was only able to get one word out before he was pulled away "DADDY!" he screamed at the top of his little lungs. Daddy was the last words he ever spoke to his father. As Vincent and the Deiwolfs fought the forces of Briadshard,Thalia, in a panic, dragged Vic away from the chaos. Victor was barely able to keep up with his mothers pace. They ran until they came to a small den like cave. Victor was rushed into it by Thalia. He screamed to her "MOMMY WHERE'S DADDY?" as she turned her head a moment to look back at the burning tent. She didn't answer though,as she turned her head back to Vic with tears in her eyes. " Victor, You need to stay in here no matter what. Do you understand?" "Mommy i don't wanna" Victor replied pleadingly. "Victor you need to promise me that you'll stay in here." but Victor was insistent " Mother I want to fight!" to which Thalia sharply said "No!" she then took out a potion and released the gas into Vic's face. The potion was a powerful and potent knock out potion rendering complete unconciusness. Victor fell back against the back wall of the den,still looking at his mom with droopy eyes he managed to say "Mommy". Thalia then said her last words to her son with tears still in her eyes "Victor I love you so much. Remember you're so strong, Be a good person and always help those who cannot help themselves. I love you,always and forever." Victor then succumbed to the knock out agent. Thalia then said "I love you my son." She then closed the den door and left Victor in a temporary coma.
Chapter 2: A New Person
During his coma, Victor had a dream, or a flashback rather, of him and his father on top of a mountaintop staring at a crimson sunset. After a particularly intense training session. He also dreamed what his father had said to him but he, for some odd reason, could only remember fragments of the conversations. Them being, leaving him as a phantom to lead and watch over him through life. His flashback then faded to black. He then saw a hooded figure with red eyes smiling at him semi-warmly. "Who are you?" Victor said to the figure but the figure did not respond it starting moving backwards and grew smaller and smaller until Vic could see him no longer. And everything then seemed quiet until........ some water seemed to slip through the cracks of the den falling onto Victor's face immediately waking him up. Delirious, Victor yelled for his mother and father but then remembered last nights events and noticed the sunshine gleaming through the damaged den door. He progressed towards the door and was able to break it down. He stepped outside into a different world. He went down to the site of the festival. Blood was everywhere. Ash was everywhere. Broken weapons were everywhere. Bodies were everywhere. It was a massacre. He followed an eerie trail of this until he came across two bodies that were noticeably different from the others.
The bodies were those of his parents. Victor ran up his parents with tears in eyes. He crumbled to there side and took his mothers limp hand. He sat there sobbing until he heard some moaning near him. It was a Briadshard soldier. Victor and his eyes met. Victor then grew numb. He stood up his mind was completely absent of any rational thinking. He then grabbed the nearest unbroken spear and walked towards the soldier who was to injured to escape. Victor then set his foot viciously on the soldier's chest. Victor raised the spear and screamed " WHO DID THIS TO MY PARENTS?!?!?!" before the soldier could answer, Victor noticed the symbol on the soldiers armor. "You're.....You're from Briadshard. Your the ones we had the trade agreement with." Victor's pupils became dilated at this point. "Who is your clan's leader?" Victor asked. When the soldier didn't answer,Victor then aimed the tip of the spear towards the soldiers throat "Pl...Please don't kill me" he pleaded. "I want a name or i swear to god" Victor said while gritting his teeth. "Okay,Okay His name is Claidmor. He lives to the west of here." said the soldier. "Thanks for the information. I hope its a cool day in Hell."he raised the spear but before he could unleash vengeance the soldier yelled "WAIT please you cant kill me, your just a kid." Victor then said something that indeed confirmed his changing into a different person " I am not a kid anymore I'm now a killer." he said and swiftly brought down the spear with such force that the birds surrounding the area flew off in terror."
It was done. Victor had killed a person. He raised his head to the sky and with is eyes closed felt the wind blow through his hair. Then a sparkle caught Victors eye. It was in his fathers hand, he then went to him and took his fathers hand and unveiled the object. It was the clans seal that was meant to be presented to Victor. It was soaked in blood. Victor wiped it with some cloth and put it in his pocket. He had some work to do.
Chapter 3: Steps Towards Revenge
Victor had the unbearable task of burying all the casualties that were killed including his parents. He wouldn't let the Buzzards have a fill after all. After all the burials were complete he then proceeded to fabricate,with his astute alchemy and necromancy skills, weapons that included a green metallic bow and arrow set, a small katana, potion bombs, and a small pouch bag that could endlessly generate throwing daggers. Victor also did a spell that magically clad his body in tattoos. Tattoos of dragon's and Celtic crosses.
He also fabricated a new set of armor. After disposing of his festival attire. He wore his new green and black attire. He was no longer Victor Hood, He would for a long while refer to himself as "The Celtic Dragon". Vic the said his goodbyes to his parents his clansmen and his homeland and set out on his quest.
Chapter 4: Emerald Embers(Two years later)
Victor had grown older on the road, traveling to Briadshard. He spent his 18th and 19th birthdays alone grasping his seal while walking taking very little room to rest until he finally reaches a gray and lifeless stone fortress with a wooden lowering bridge with a sign that said "Briadshard." He had arrived. Vic entered into the busy city and surveyed the surrounding looking for a building that might belong to Claidmor. He then noticed the tallest fortress in the enclosed city. Immediately he knew who it belonged to. But when your leader of the richest clan in the region one doesn't exactly find it necessary to keep it subtle. Victor set a plan into motion in a very short time while studying the building. He would wait until dark.
One hour turned in two until it was 7:00. Victor made his move he scaled the wall with fabricated equipment and entered through the paynless window into a huge room with a crimson carpet and a fireplace. "Seems to be the study" he said quietly. He then proceeded up to Claidmor's room sneaking by his guards with amusing ease. Like a shadow he entered the room, Claidmor was asleep unaware of his assassin. Victor walked over to him and stood on his bed and crouched above Cladmior with his katana drawn. It took about a minute for Claidmor to sense Victor over him but before he could even think to open his eyes. Victor thrust the katana into Claidmors chest. His eyes were open now. With every breath Claidmor tried immensely hard not to scream. He was gritting his teeth so hard that they were cracking. As his face wretched in pain Victor spoke "Claidmor of Braidshard.............Look at me. Look at my face. Look into my eyes." He then raised his voice slightly " Gaze..into..my.. dead..soul" Claidmors eyes became bloodshot do to his the immensely wretched face. Victor then began smirking sickly " Like what you see? Who do I look like?" Vince no longer whispered " DO I LOOK LIKE THE SON OF VINCENT AND THALIA HOOD WHO YOU MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD? He then viciously released the katana from the bloodied chest releasing huge amounts of blood everywhere.First screams...then silence filled the room.
Victor sat back with blood on his face looking up to the ceiling. He then turned his head to the commotion out in the hall. The door swung open revealing three guards who gasped at the shocking site. Victor looked at the stunned guards and as soon as one of them went to unsheath his sword Victor bolted out onto to balcony and jumped off falling about 100 feet from the fortress into a mystical teleporting circle he had cast for a quick escape which was undetectable to the untrained eye. He crashed in the circle and re-emerged out the other end a few feet a away from the panicked city who could incredibly enough hear claidmor's screams. Victor had killed another man but this time he was filled with pleasure. He Trekked home in order to rebuild his life. But he would not get there.
Chapter 5: Redemption from a Thunder God
The next day which was a sunny friday. Victor walked swiftly home gazing around ate nature that surrounded him. Nature that used to give him such joy and such moments of happiness. But that changed,although he did enjoy his nature watching, None of it could bring the most important people back into his life, his parents. He walked a little more and then started to question his purpose. His parents and his clansmen's death had been avenged. Claidmor was dead. Now what? As he began to ponder that he came across a old bearded figure with a wooden flute. As he came across the old man he began to play celtic tune that was very familiar to Victor. It was a lullaby that his mother would sing to him as a baby. Suddenly the old man spoke " Greetings wary traveler, fine day is it not?"he then laughed hysterically.
Victor who grew into a very hard person also grew into a suspicious one. "Where have you heard that song old man?" "Ha old man? Kids these days! No respect for their elders." the old man said. Vic's patience was wearing thin " I asked you a question. Where have you heard that song?" "Heard? This song is common knowledge my boy." the old man replied as he began to twirl his staff like a baton. "Really?" Victor said with a look of pure amazement of how bad of a liar the old man was" Well old man, that's funny seeing as how my late mother used to sing that song to me being that she wrote it." While saying that Victor drew his katana.
"NOW TELL ME THE TRUTH" as he pointed the sword towards and very near in front of the old man. " I've killed two people in my life and I have no problem killing you." "Really?" the old man then shot back " I've killed thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people. And if your going to point a laughably crafted sword like that at me you better cut me with it." with that sentence the demeanor of the old man changed and the toothy grin of his disappeared. " You'll regret saying that old man." Victor said as he swung his sword powerfully but before Vic eyes could keep up with his sword the old man swiftly caught it. Stunned Vic couldn't react quick enough to counter. Then suddenly storm clouds gathered and blocked out the sun. Thunder then crashed down and struck the old man directly. The force of the strike sent Victor flying back and in a daze he regained himself.
He sat up and focused his eyes on the old man but what he saw was no longer the frail looking old man but a muscular man shrouded in a blue aura, the man seemed to have electricity crackle off of his body. He had a impressive looking sword stowed to his side like a samurai and a blackish,grey straw hat straddled to his back. He had blonde spiky hair and piercing red eyes. "Those eyes!" Victor immediately flash backed to the dream he had two years ago. The man was the same cloaked figure from Victors dream. "You! Its you! The same man from my dream!" " I have been watching you for a long time Victor Hood of Hood Manor" the man said " I'm very disappointed in what you have become." "Like I've said before I've destroyed and killed many people so this earth can keep on living and so snot nosed brats like you could still live on." Victor got up from the ground and asked "Who are you?" The man replied " My name is Wolfang the thunder god." Victors mouth dropped " Your the thunder god Wolfang? Weren't you a myth?" Wolfang scoffed as Victor continued " Your the 20 time winner of the World Martial Arts Tournament? You're one of the few nearly extinct Saiyans on earth?" "Smarter than you look Victor. And actually I've won the tournament about 50 times but who's counting." Wolfang then walked towards Victor
" We have a problem here Victor, You have blood on your hands. That blood will consume you until your nothing of what resembled your parents. So here is what is going to happen. Me and some other distinguished allies of mine are putting a team of young fledglings like yourself to watch over the city of Sareen Coast. Your team will fight the battles that me and my allies cannot. So here is the choice I present to you" Wolfang created two energy spheres from his hands, one blue and one red. " If you decide to choose the red sphere I will disappear and you will be able to continue on home or you can choose the blue sphere and you will be transported by the speed of lightning to your new base in the coastline. Your new hopeful teammates will be waiting. So which is it Victor? Bloodshed or Redemption?
Chapter 6: Decisions, Decisions
Decisions, Decisions. Victor could either decide to continue on home by taking the red sphere or he could choose the blue sphere and begin his life anew. Victor began to reach towards the red sphere but stopped, he felt strange. He sensed two figures behind him. He turned around abruptly and witnessed the site of his parents standing next to each other. "Mother, Father!" Victor reached to touch his mother but his hand passed through her. They were gold clad manifestations,or essences rather, of his parents. "Victor. My son. Look at how much you've grown and yet look what you have become." The gold clad essence of his father stated " Revenge is not the way." Victor could not control his outburst " Dad! They killed all of you!" he was trying extremely hard to not lose his temper on his parents.
The essence of his mother Thalia then spoke "Victor this is not who you are. There is nothing of the old sweet,loving, goofy child you once were." Victor who had grown stubborn as well as hard and suspicious stated his feelings again " They took you two from me! I hate them!" Vic was now visibly crying. He was interrupted by Thalia who spoke again "Son. What happened to you at your age was unfair. It was tragic and traumatizing for you, I know, but what are you going to do if you take the red sphere? Go back home? Hunt rabbits for food? Wolfang is giving you a chance at redemption, a chance to cleanse the blood off your hands. Please son! I beg you." Victor then , as soon as she said " I beg you!" succumbed to her pleading. He turned while still crying. and then redirected his grasp towards the blue sphere but not before looking back one last time and uttering the words "Mom. Dad. Thank you. I see now. I love you two so much." The essences's both smiled as Victor grasped the blue sphere. Wolfang smirked sharply "I knew you could do it Victor." Then suddenly an electric field began appearing, drawing them backwards. They were being transported to Sareen Coast! Victor only had time to mouth the words "I love you" one last time as they disappeared by a flash of lightning. They're departure departed the storm clouds and the sun then returned. The essences then disappeared. The sky was calm again.
Chapter 7a: Meeting The Team
Before Victor knew it he was transported to Sareen Coast! A party cloudy coastal town with lush greenery and a coastal boardwalk set with an amusement park. The town also had a beautiful park, thriving club scene and also had Sareen University. He had a view of all of this. Victor then turned around to a huge mansion with the initials "F.M" which also featured 7 symbols below it. A strange unreadable kryptonian-like symbol, The Eye of Horus, A Thundercloud surrounded by a circle, The initials "W.E" which Victor recognized as the Wagner Electronics Hobby Shop. How he knew this he had no idea. A mystical symbol, A thunder bolt, And a symbol of a wolf in which he immediately recognized as his clans symbol of the norse god Fenrir. "Nice touch." Victor thought to himself. Suddenly a lightning bolt appeared and out of it Wolfang appeared. "Wolfang!" Victor said. "Greetings Victor." Wolfang replied "How do you like it?" Victor nodded as he said "Its awesome!". He and Wolfang then made their way into the mansion. The mansion was fitted with marble flooring, Crystal Chandoliers, and red carpeting. The rooms included a indoor pool, A private arcade, and a big giant entertainment area with a screen that could relay missions, communications, and breaking news scenarios. Victor walked to the main room and was greeted by numerous people. There he met his teammates.
Tre El A.K.A Maverick Boy: A muscular 20 year old, with jet black hair, tank top with the letter "M", and blue cargos that tucked into brown boots. A meta human believed to have kryptonian blood. He was an amazingly strong kid with severe anger issues, his father (Maverick Man) had denied and abandoned Tre since babyhood. Tre, as a result, had no father figure to look to. He was an extremely volatile person.
Gaia Dominance: A blonde haired girl with blue eyes who attended Sareen University. Gaia was born in the red canyon city of Terraform and she could control and manipulate the Earth and ground, thus making any object imaginable from it. A friendly and compassionate girl who had a special connection with Tre, although he would never admit it, they both saw each other as more then friends.
Pandora: Grandaughter of Wolfang. Half Saiyan and half alien from the planet Shili. She first was trained in the Jedi arts but as she grew older she instead trained in the footsteps of Wolfang saying that she did this because she "Wanted to pay homage to her saiyan ancestors." She was a participant in the juniors division of the World Martial Arts Tournament winning 2nd place. Her Nickname was Pan.
Marty Wagner A.K.A Spore Kid: Marty was the son of now semi-retired superhero and CEO of The Wagner Electronics Hobby Shop Alex Wagner who was once known as "Spore". A video game nerd and addict with every available console set up in his room. He also loved sweets and food. Not one to do his chores and/or clean his room much to Wolfangs annoyance. A very friendly and loyal person.
Billy Smith A.K.A Geo Spark: Billy was a speedster who oddly enough had no relation to the Flash family.Instead he obtained his powers the stereotypical super hero way with "some sort of accident with toxic chemicals." Billy was best friends with Marty and did almost everything with him. Billy was an eccentric and goofy kid and was the youngest member of the league.
And Lastly was Hour Jr. A dark cloaked apparition of a boy. Hour was the son of Hourman. His sorcery skills and alchemy skills rivaled Victors. Not much for conversations but was a brilliant scholar. He never let the outside world see his true form. Instead he would only let the league see it. He created a "disguise" of a blonde boy with black framed rectangular shaped glasses. He would veil himself with this image when out in public choosing to only discard in case of a emergency such as a bank robbery or an attack from a super villain.
Chapter 7b: Young Freedom
Victor gazed around at everyone in the common room. Adult and Kid alike. Wolfang then began to speak. "League recruits. come over here please." Once everyone was in their proper spot. Wolfang began talking again " Young ones I have recruited you all for a purpose. Me and my allies....." Wolfang directed the Kids glance to a handful of warriors/super heroes among them being Mist, God of Wind, Sareena, The Queen of the outer dimension known as JusticeRealm, Adam, a shaman and Saiyan and former rival of Wolfang who was charged with Guarding and maintaining the stability of the dead saiyan souls that were lost long after their planet was destroyed by Frieza, Wolfangs son Fang and Pan's dad who was now an experienced Jedi Knight and Marty's dad Spore who was in his business attire.
Wolfang continued" ..... have brought you all together as a new faction of Super Heroes. You will assist us in protecting this coast as all my allies and me deal with a impending threat to our world. This was news to the Kids. What was this threat? Tre El, who was the more outspoken one out of the kids asked " What is this threat?" to which Wolfang replied " That information is on a need to know basis. I'll hear no more about it from any of you. Understand?" The Kids all nodded at once and Tre El reluctantly nodded as well.
"Now in terms of your new faction. You will be following in the footsteps of the former league known as The Freedom League. Like your predecessor's you will be a faction dedicated to truth and justice. Now we discussed what to call your team. And we agreed. You will be the 7th version of The Freedom League known as Young Freedom. Billy was first to comment on the team formation " Well i don't know about you all but that sounds...AWESOME!!!!" He thrust his hand out. "Yeah." Marty agreed enthusiastically. " He joined his hand in the front with Billy's. One by one each of the Kids joined their hand in the middle all except Victor. This was all strange. He had been alone for awhile and now he would be moving with the others? A brand new life. But he remembered the promise he made his parents "No going back." Victor thought to himself. He then thrust his hand in which his hands joined the others. " Very Good." Wolfang stated. Victor then smiled his first smile in years.

It was official! Young Freedom was born!It was 6:30 and the sun had just barely rose and with it Victor rose. While the others either slept like Geo and Marty or meditated like Tre and Hour. Victor made his way outside. It had been a while since he had watched the Sun rise from its slumber. He was silent. Soon it was 10:00. Everyone was up. Wolfang suddenly appeared on the mission relay screen. "Good morning young ones." " Good Morning Wolfang!" The team chattered in unison. "Class" had officially began.
Wolfang believed that a perfect warrior had to be educated as well as powerful and skilled in combat. Therefore he educated the kids everyday. He taught them about the many races that he had encountered including Namekians, Sayians, Meta Humans, Androids, Tartaken's and many more. Since Victor, Hour, Gaia and Tre had a very sheltered existence and never really saw much of the world outside of there homes Wolfang was able to relay the information to there brains as they were transported to Sareen Coast. That was why Victor knew about The Wagner Electronics Hobby Shop before even meeting Marty or his Dad. They each had learned about there respective teammates before they had even met! Things like:
Hour was able to change his voice pattern at will,soft,deep,hoarse, it didn't matter. When in his true form he chose to speak in a Barbadian accent. Saying he chose the accent because his father had spent a lot of time in Barbados. The team had additionally learned that Hourman had made a deal with The Devil for wealth and power at the cost of his son's soul. But before the devil could get hour, Wolfang had intervened bringing him to the manor.
Hourman had since disappeared. It was assumed that Hourman's soul was forfeit in place of his son.
EXTRA 2a: First Mission
It was a nice sunny day on a Tuesday. The Kids were lounging and hanging out on the front grounds. Gaia was sunbathing, Vic and Pan occupied the two lawn chairs, Geo and Spore were playing frisbee and Tre and Hour were keeping to themselves. All was normal and peaceful until.... There was a massive KABOOM that forced Victor up. He looked down at the coast and saw a giant tanker boat absolutely engulfed in flames jetting massive black smoke into the sky and spilling crude oil into the ocean. Without a seconds notice the watchcomms beeped furiously. It was Wolfang. The team each opened there respective communicators. " I trust you all heard the explosions?" Wolfang asked. "Yeah we heard it." Tre said as he walked to Gaia's side "But how did it explode?" "I'm not certain yet." Wolfang replied " Hold tight I'm sending the details of the explosion point. As I do get down to the coast and try to extinguish the fire. You'll be greeted by my ally, Captain Eon, who will help you out. TEAM MOVE OUT!"
They all dispersed. Tre and Pan took point as Gaia flew behind holding Victor's hand in her hand and holding Kid Spore's hand in her other. To the streets below, Geo dashed at full speed down to the coast. Once they all joined at the coastal boardwalk, they met with a silver figure with blue hair and red boots and gloves and a purple spark design on his chest. " Great, You arrived! Sorry but we can talk after. lets get to work." he said. They all went into action. Gaia and Pan along with Eon did there best to manage the massive flames as Victor, Geo and Kid Spore transported trapped ship workers to safety and finally Tre and Hour were sent into the depths of the ocean to try to keep the oil from gushing anymore. Tre lifted the whole burning ship out of the water as Hour cast a barrier on the gaping hole thus stopping the flow of oil. Eventually the flames, thanks to Eon and the Girl's efforts, had subsided.
In addition all of the crew members were rescued and accounted for. Tre had then set the broken ship onto the shoreline for further investigation. Finally Captain Eon, being a champion for the well being of nature mustered up tiny hurricanes with his arms and lowered them steadily sucking up a huge amount of water that had mixed with the oil. He then slowly began separating the oil and water, dropping the water into the ocean and dispelling the oil into the sky where he had conjured thunder clouds in which mixed with the oil. They began to evaporate which in turn evaporated the oil. The mission had gone extremely well but it wasn't over yet.
EXTRA 2b: Nothing like his father!
The tanker sat on the beach, a largely hollowed out corpse. A healthy amount of citizens had gathered around it filming it with there smartphones. The heroes then landed in front of the tanker. Tre examined the tanker using special x-ray vision that acted like a UV light of sorts that could detect unseen substances. He scanned the ship inch by inch until coming across the explosion point. There was a glowing yellow residue around the edge of the explosion point. "There!" Tre pointed " It looks like yellow powder". " Interesting" Eon stated " I'll take some samples for Wolfang. " Until then you kids are free to go. Great work team".
As the heroes stepped out of the tanker they were greeted with noisy and excited people bombarding them with photography flashes and items for autograph purposes. Also they were greeted by the fastest rising reporter, Gail Weathers! Gail was a cutthroat reporter for the TV news show known as "Sareen Tonight!" who would stop at nothing to get a juicy story, regardless of how many lives might she ruined in the process. Gail began to speak to a tv news crewman holding a tv camera that was LIVE and that apparently filmed the whole mission.
" Ladies and Gentleman, I'm Gail Weathers here with a breaking developing story. The tanker that had exploded in flames earlier has been extinguished! I am on the scene with the one and only Captain Eon who is with a group of apparent young kids!" The Kids seemed at a loss as the bright flashes seemed to erase there words. Gail then spoke "Captain Eon! How does it feel to be a hero yet again"? she then directed her questions to the Kids " Who are these seven heroes.? There just kids." she stated as if the world hadn't seen a young superhero before. Geo,who seemed to like the cameras, answered " My name is Geo Spark! The fastest kid in the west! These are my pals Victor, Tre, K.S, Pan, Gaia and Hour Jr. WE'RE YOUNG FREEDOM"!!! Gail turned to the camera and repeated "YOUNG FREEDOM"! She then turned back to Geo " Where do you amazing kids come from?" But before Geo could utter another word, Eon interrupted him " Sorry Miss Weathers, but that's enough questions for today." The team then either flew or sped off as the citizens voiced there displeasure and disappointment at the teams departure. They would return home.
About an hour has passed before Wolfang chimed in on the screen communicator in the main room of Freedom Manor with the results of the samples that Eon had gathered from the wrecked tanker ship. " Okay team. I've got the results." he said as the team gathered around. For a moment Wolfang was silent, he was obviously troubled by something. "Yes? What are they?" Victor asked " What are the results"?
Wolfang then re-focused and spoke again " They're stone artifacts known as "RuneStones". Kid Spore then asked "What are Runestones"? "They're from our destroyed planet Vegeta" Pandora spoke suddenly while sitting on the couch. She then stood. " They're artifacts that are generated when a saiyan baby is born." Her teammates looked at her with puzzled looks. She then sighed and continued to speak " When a saiyan boy or girl is born, an artifact is created with either our symbol for Wind, Fire, Thunder, or Water. It's like the earth's zodiac but it has no basis in months or days. Its purely random. When a saiyan gets the artifact it was said that they could control the element in which they were paired up with as time went on. Saiyans who became warriors had a greater chance of controlling the elements. Which is why Wolfang can control thunder and was chosen as the next thunder god". "What we need to do is continue to investigate why my element was on the ship when it exploded." Wolfang said. " I'll keep you all posted. Wolfang out."
Time had passed. It was now 5 till 8:00. The Kids, who had the rest of night off provided that no emergencies arise, had headed down to the hottest night club in town, known as "Pisces". Wolfang never admitted it but he genuinely cared for the kids. He had watched over them since they were all born. He wanted them, despite being superheroes, to have as much a normal social life as possible. They entered the rave as a DJ played energetic dance music onto a populated dance floor that had a checkered pattern with L.E.D lights that flashed random colors. Victor could barely believe his eyes at the energy confined in the building. He, after all, had never seen the world outside of Ireland or his old home much less. The Kids made there way into the floor and started to get into the music. Hour was the only one not to join. "COME ON. DANCE WITH US." Gaia shouted over the music. As the music track ended, he then spoke "Dancing is pointless. It serves no purpose whatsoever." he then walked to the nearest table and sat and took out his spell book and studied it. Gaia shrugged and went on dancing. The kids were obviously having the time of there life.
All until a giant explosion shattered the glass sky roof. The set was destroyed as everyone was sent back by the force of the blast. Out of the smoke, appeared soldiers clad in black armor with power level sensor headsets on there head. They propelled down to the floor as the heroes gained there wits about them. As people rapidly ran through the emergency exit screaming the kids lay semi concious under a mass of rubble. As more soldiers propelled down from the ceiling the door blew open. Out of the smoke walked a short stout grey skinned man with two soldiers at his side that seemed to be higher in rank than the others. The man was Genghis Khan the 400th, a mercenary!
" GREAT ENTRANCE IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF!" he shouted with glee " Barros hand me the bomb." An orange alien that seemed to be aquatic in nature complied and handed it to Khan. " Lets see if Captain Eon can get rid of this fire or not". He, after placing the bomb pulled out a Runestone! The kids were, while still under the rubble, now concious. Victor watched as he placed the runestone next to the bomb. " That's a runestone!!!" he thought to himself. It was now obvious that Khan was behind the ship explosion earlier in the day. As Khan set the artifact down on the table,
They Kids blasted the rubble away and off of them. " What is this?" Khan stated with a puzzled face. " You were behind the ship explosion!" Victor yelled. Khan responded " How in the hell did...Arghh no matter. Soldiers get them!". The men charged as the kids fought them off with ease. "Interesting." Khan said " You youngling's seem to be no normal kids. Lets see you get by with these to. BARROS, ZARHUEL, ATTACK THEM"! The two henchmen then charged! As they went towards the kids, they used there respective powers this time. Both Barros and Zarhuel were sent flying back crashing through the wall. "GAHHHHHH, That's just great!" Khan outburst " More heroes to worry about. Oh well you brats seemed to do well against my henchman but I think you'll find me a different matter entirely." He pulled out a sword and rushed towards the kids.
They were now engaged in combat. As he rushed towards the kids Tre and Victor leaped up and tackled him. Victor who had actually successfully kept a hold of Khan threw a punch. It connected, sending Khan crashing into the bar station. Dazed and confused Khan sat up but was unable to conjure up his wits before Gaia placed her hands on the ground. The ground began to shake furiously and a huge chunk of earth was unleashed! She effortlessly twisted and contorted the mass and sent it flying! It then wrapped around Khan like a snake thus immobilizing him.
It was finished. Young Freedom had gained there first victory against a super villain! All of a sudden Captain Eon flew through the hole in the ceiling. As he landed he exclaimed in pleasure " WELL I'LL BE A MONKEYS UNCLE!!! YOU KIDS DID MARVELOUS!!!" he walked swiftly over to the kids and put his hand on Tre's shoulder " You kids are awesome. Great job Tre El. I'm just sorry I couldn't have made it sooner". Khan then spoke weakly " Tre El? Why your Maverick Boy! Your Maverick Man's son"! Tre El looked at Khan. Khan continued" HA I should have known. Your just like your father".
At that instance, Tre had knocked Eon's hand off his shoulder and lunged powerfully at Khan. He swept him up and slammed Khan against the wall. "LISTEN ASSHOLE!!!!!! I AM NOTHING LIKE MY FATHER!!!!!" Tre was seething tremendously " I AM TEN TIMES THE MAN HE IS!!!" he began punching Khan mercilessly exclaiming as he did it " DO.....YOU......UNDERSTAND"?!?!?!?!? Tre wouldn't stop his assault. So much so that many of the other teammates including Eon had to restrain him. "TRE LET OFF!" Eon yelled while Tre continued to scream and lunge at Khan.
Once Victor, Geo and Marty had a secure grip of Tre, Eon let go he then flew swiftly towards and picked the heap of Khan up. " Listen. Khan. You need to tell me who hired you." Either Khan was to delirious or he could take a beating but he slowly shook his head signaling "No". Eon's patience had run out as Tre continued to scream viciously "Listen bud I'm trying to save you! Me and the others are the only ones keeping Tre from coming over and ripping you a new one!" Eon grabbed Khan's head and guided it to the sight of Tre. He was red and every imaginable vein was protruding from him. Once again Eon asked once more this time with conviction. " Now tell me who hired you!" Khan had mustered up some words " He told me his name was Korr Kanzz. Now please don't feed me to that kid! He's unstable!"
Eon then brought Khan out to a police car that had arrived on the scene as Tre screamed "I'LL SHOW YOU UNSTABLE!!!!!!!" Once Khan was in the police car. Eon turned back to the kids, who still restrained Tre although he was no longer lunging and screaming but rather he was glaring at Khan. " Get Tre back to the manor" he said softly. As the kids went off, cutthroat reporter Gail Weathers had arrived. "Eon!" she said as she walked up to him, they were LIVE " You defeated Khan! Tell the folks at home what happened"! Eon sighed a breathe of relief and turned his head to Gail " Miss Weathers? You don't wanna know." He then flew off as well. Leaving the chaos behind him.
EXTRA 2c: Tre pours his heart out
Back at the mansion, Tre had not calmed down. Eon had only entered the door for a second before Tre took his fist and swung it downward, hitting the black marble dining table with such force it had cracked and split the table in two! He then slowly made his way outside to the balcony overseeing the glowing coastal town. The stunned team members looked on in shock. "I'll go talk to him." Eon said but Gaia intercepted him. "I think it would be better if I talked to him". Eon nodded.
Gaia went outside towards Tre who was sitting on the outside of the balcony railing. "Tre!" she started to say but was interrupted by Tre " I hate him." he said in defeatist tone. Gaia made her way towards him and joined him on the balcony railing. "Tre why do you hate your Father"? she asked. Tre looked at her with sharp eyes and answered "Gaia, he abandoned me." Gaia was silent as he continued " He was never in my life. He doesn't think of me as his son". Tre raised his voice a little " I mean Christ; he never even said "I love you". Wolfang has been more of a father figure then he ever was or is." Tre then buried his head in his arms as his body posture shrunk.
Gaia put her hand on Tre's shoulder. "Tre. If your father was too high and mighty to acknowledge how much of a great, sensitive, good person you are. Then forget him. You aren't alone anymore. We are a family now." Tre lifted his head up as Gaia continued "Wolfang has fathered all of us." Gaia said very passionately. then she repeated " We're a Family."
Tre's body stance had returned to normal. His tense muscles had decompressed. He was calm again. "Gaia...Thank You." he said. Gaia smiled as they both walked back in the mansion.
"I'm okay now." Tre said " Sorry about the table". Eon replied, laughing a little "No sweat Kid, I had Vic and Hour make a new one."
Over time Tre had grown accustomed to being referred to as 'Maverick Man's son' granted he still didn't like it and still was irked by it, he was now able to deal with it. He took it as motivation to be a better superhero then his father was. He was well.
EXTRA 2d: Rebuilding Pisces
After the battle at the Pisces nightclub that resulted in its destruction. The team aided in the clean up effort that was promoted on TV shows,commercials,billboards and the internet with a big header that said "CLEAN UP PISCES"! As the club was being rebuilt, the team met the owner.
Natalya Irvine was a blonde haired heiress who was barely older than Tre. She was a beautiful and brilliant businesswoman. To thank the team for helping with the effort and for saving the club from further destruction the other night,she offered them free access to the club for life.
Many people had turned out not only to clean up the prosperous night club buy also raise money for the current Freedom League's reclamation project that was meant to house rogue heroes, adult and kid alike, who were interested in joining the league.
Many heroes were potential league recruits , including, Ant Man, who had body shrinking abilities, Silver Cat, who Wolfang had saved from her father, Mysterio,an arch enemy of Spiderman, a while back and Big Bertha, a warrior from the planet 'THE END'.
The cleanup had gone well and vast sums had been raised. For a while Sareen Coast and the team had enjoyed relatively normal days. Unfortunately that wouldn't last long.
EXTRA 3: Enter The Secret Society
The lights suddenly turned on. At first their eyes hurt for being in the dark so long but they were awake now. One by One they stepped out of their pods. A screen was evident in the middle of the room that had a Bronze masked figure on it. " I'm glad you are all awake." he said in a hoarse voice. The man was called Gamble but his criminal record listed him as Codename: Gamble. The seven individuals that stood before him were ordered to state there names in a role call. Jar El( a clone of Tre El), Luster Core ( Member of the Sinestro Core), Blotch, Uproot, Shockwave and Light stood before there leader. They were sent out with one mission and one mission only. Destroy Young Freedom!
The Secret Society would have many battles with the kids of Young Freedom.
EXTRA 14: Legalizing Same Sex Marriage
Among the many causes that Young Freedom had taken up,such as world peace and endangered species conservation, one was of particular importance to them. It being, the fair and equal treatment of the L.G.B.T citizens of Sareen Coast and indeed the world. This issue struck especially close to them. There fellow heroes and reserve members Kyle Drew A.K.A Weather Boy and Radical Ray whose real name was Ray Macchito were very much in love and were devoted lovers. They were a constant spark of pure unconditional love and were a breathe of fresh air in the league. Kyle Drew was the stepson of the weather controlling member of the X-men known as Storm. Once Kyle "came out" to her she immediately voiced her support for her son.
In addition a new bill was being presented by the senate members that would legalize same sex marriage. This was an important bill that all of Sareen Coast was paying close attention too. The potential new bill also was the top story of all the news channels and news personalities had weighed in including Bill O, Lielly host of The O'Lielly Factor which aired on the right wing news channel known as Crockx News calling it a " Carefully planned attack on the sacrecy of marriage".
