~Chapter 1 – A new mission    

It is a new day for the legion, they have woken up, but they have been alarmed by bad news, Some aliens have come to threaten the president, and the legion must make their way. The gear is worn, the Awesome Atone is up and the president is getting closer to danger. The aliens either have the president as a hostage or trying to fight back the servicemen who are trying to close in on the president’s house, and a nice house at that. Light green, in the middle of a lake, many balconies and a nice view around, but even the defences (the same one that protects the mountain with the life force placed back inside) are often around but have been disabled by these aliens. As well as the servicemen, even Mike and Retron are there too, to help their friend, but they too are struggling to get to the president, and the defences are struggling to be rebooted by the base digitally. The legion however is not too far away, and so while they make their way, they thought to have a nice conversation. Despite the president being at the centre of this situation, he remains relatively calm, he used to be in worse situations. He was made a hostage by past humans before, showing the present aliens no fear. Back to the legion, considering they have now known each other for a month, Pod has an idea to get to know more about everyone's past, a nice topic as they make their way.  Zammy only hints at his past bullying, and Arvin (who can be understood by Pod considering he is the only other animal-like creature around) talks about how he remembers his early memories of being looked after by the legion. Nicole however doesn't want to reveal anything, she has mentioned she has been trained throughout her adult life. Currently, they are wondering about her childhood which she will not reveal at the point where she gets angry, making the legion quiet and upset, but now they have made it to the president’s house, Nicole provides some orders and then they all get on in silence. And so, after this exchange, the legion gets off the Awesome Atone, and with the Awesome Atone’s new drone mode, it shoots a stun version of lightning to fire at a brand-new army, but a smaller one at that. The race that the legion and others have faced this morning are creatures that have metal aspects to their skin, crab legs, anti-gravity abilities and their type of laser guns which require charge but release a straight yet quick laser, not to mention the crab legs make the creatures able to climb with ease. While some are shooting, the others terrorise the president, keeping him in one spot. The president continues to stay without fear, asking why he is a hostage. The race replies that they too were sent to sort out earth’s security, and so by threatening the lead, it brings all the forces, and the race needs time to contact any of Zionthor’s allies. This is a race that hasn’t allied with Zionthor yet, but by doing this, they think they will be welcomed into the clan. After finding out that there are beings that are hunted for their combating abilities, they have an idea to join Zionthor, meaning their whole race won’t die in Zionthor’s hands. So far, the fight is in favour of the servicemen, able to advance and surround the area, putting the aliens on the spot, and making them desperate to fight back. Mike and the legion can advance due to their capabilities, they are to go through the battle to protect the president.  Some of the aliens spot this but the servicemen are keeping them too preoccupied, but they believe that the ones who have the president hostage will keep this legion away. But at the same time, they are puzzled by this mixed team, they thought the earth was rumoured to be powerful just because of the human’s intelligence, you would often think that it is a single race outclassing another, but no, and now it worries them, how will they be able to fight a mixed alien team? And if they lose, they may get hunted down, making them consider running away from Zionthor, like many other races have been doing. Regardless, the legion does run through the inside of the building, fighting the aliens. But the teamwork is lacking because of the off conversation earlier, making them more individual, but they do make it to the office of the president, making all the aliens focus on the legion. Zammy and Pod fire their projectiles which gets all six aliens in the room, Nicole gets to the president defending him using her shield, and even Arvin helps fight each alien individual, making them all get knocked out or stunned. The aliens in the room have been sorted, Mike has been checking the whole building digitally to make sure there are no more Quaros in the building. Even Retron tries to run to the president, only to see that the president is safe, with the president thanking Nicole, and Mike hears this news and is pleased with her. Retron however gets immense jealousy, he used to always help the president, and now that part of his history is getting ripped away from him. Now the president is safe thanks to the legion, Mike and Retron keep an eye on him, Nicole and Arvin arrest the aliens to keep them neutralised, with Zammy zapping most of the aliens in a way that shows a different side to him, which Pod could see. But Pod becomes more controlled and calculating, jumping from one alien to the next, and he is even the one to stop the pilots in their only ship, telling them to bring the ship down, they have lost, and all the aliens could see that, making them surrender. All the aliens are gathered whether they are stunned, arrested or surrendered, told to leave the planet with mercy. One alien admitted that Retron nearly killed him, which makes Retron humiliated, but Retron denies this, making the others unsure of Retron, but let it slide for now. Retron states it was for self-defence yet all the servicemen and even the legion were told to keep these aliens alive just in case, stunning does enough, taking lives can be too far. The aliens explain why they did this after telling the president, and they all tell the Quaros to run before any of Zionthor’s allies find out about their actions. So they all gather on their ship, a ship which is your average flying saucer, except the ring is separate from the ship, designed to move the ship magnetically, and so all the Quaro jump on and get going. As they failed to tackle Earth, they will go on the run as there might be a chance that one of Zionthor’s allies took note of this and will probably try and hunt them down if they have enough power to take on the legion. Zionthor doesn’t need that against his side if the Quaros decide to turn on Zionthor after failing to get his favour.   

    

 

~Chapter 2 – Ozona and Hailwolf    

In the Deepa Fortress, after losing Orphion, the clan is figuring out new ways to sustain their dominance across the universe, but most of all, try and find out how to get rid of this legion on earth. After a lot of shouting, disagreeing and more planning for what to do, one idea comes up, coming from Ekron, getting help from Ozona. Ozona is another dictator himself who links planets via chains to rule multiple planets at once while also reducing violence and free will.  These are also specialised chains which can be walked through but they have a special tunnel to quick anyone from Ozona’s planet into another world, making the chain walk very quickly. He might be busy, but he is formidable, and Ozona should accept this deal if the earth is another planet that also needs more of a cap on.  And so Zionthor does send Ekron to go and see Ozona, putting all discussion at peace. Everyone gets on with their work, and some are nervous, however, with the netrobots gone, Dyon has more time to take down Zionthor-based threats. This is one reason why the legion and Dyon haven’t seen each other for ages, Slitheroc, shows this concern. Zionthor says that they should all function without fear, so Slitheroc and the rest are encouraged to get going with the energy hunting. Ekron has teleported to Ozona’s world, simply named ‘Ga’, and Ekron is somewhat scared to arrive, he slowly walks up to Ozona's castle, with the guards (stonos who are popular in this world) at the front. Ekron remembers from last time that he will leave his spear behind, and meet Ozona in the main room, which is entered as soon as the front door opens, and there he is, Ozona, shrouded in dark blue, pale skin, a small sword and human-sized. He may not sound like much compared to the scary robot that was Orphion, but Ozona here could be argued to be more intimidating, and so, Ozona and Ekron start chatting. After this chat, Ozona seems keen on the idea of taking over the earth after being told what it is like. And so, Ozona gets his army to generate a new chain to launch to Earth, the only thing missing however is Earth's coordinates, and he knows who can help. As Ekron teleports back to the Deepa fortress to notify Zionthor of Ozona’s help, Valas, Ozona’s morfil. Valas wears the average morfil armour but recoloured to represent Ozona more as it uses more blue, a type of armour where plates are all over the body an average morfil is also a dark grey, and Vatter was in the same room. While helping Ozona keep out for any infiltrators and helping set up the current chains for the new planets for Ozona to rule. And so, we are introduced to Hailwolf, she is currently at Giddery, land of the slashoes. The world is like a tropical resort which is occasionally built, full of blue leaf trees, occasional blocks for climbing alongside many services tailored to entertain like betting. In this world, there are multiple ways of betting like fighting competitions, and more variety compared to Earth. The race however is like lime green elves, all like to wear big coats, most of them bearing short duel wield blades and are mildly connected to the life force, using it to create astral bodies or as temporary invincibility. They are a greedy race, over the top and occasionally vicious, no wonder Ozona wanted to keep tabs on a world with a race like this. In one of the planets that Ozona is ruling, a small brawl is occurring.  The two groups of slashoes fight each other using their abilities, This rapid movement catches someone’s attention, but later, someone else is sent in the meantime, Hailwolf.  She is a pneumian, a race which looks human but has blue skin, no hair, wearing a darker green gi and a dark blue scarf around her head and a side fury dark blue cape. Hailwolf is unique in one way, she only has one fully grown arm, and the other arm failed to grow before she was born, but her abilities lie in another form. This other form consists of a Haywan, a creature cross between a wolverine and a wolf which is dark blue and big, able to jump, run quickly, climb well and even shoot sharp quills from her fur. As a pneumian, she is part of a race that uses the life force (which floats around the sky in her world, showing all types of creatures, and seeing their spiritual forms). While these pneumians have multiple choices, Hailwolf went for a more protective creature, and this is the form she will have for the rest of her life, which she is half ashamed about.  Regardless, she uses her alternative form to scare everyone, even using some force to break the fight, and this does intimidate some of the slashoes. The others become tempted to fight her, but she either shows intimidation or has the big boss come to scare them all. The big boss, Ozona comes to enter the world via a floating piece of debris with the help of his telekinesis. He then lands slowly, and Ozona makes a gesture to get Hailwolf to him, and Hailwolf returns to her main form, an ability which Hailwolf can perform quickly. She stands by Ozona, Ozona threatens that the planet will suffer majorly, going as far as extinction if the race has another clash like this. This makes the race not only scared but frustrated that they cannot fight to express themselves as they used to, to which Hailwolf can sympathise. Now Ozona had his little speech, and he then had a word with Hailwolf. Ozona sets Hailwolf on another task, to get hold of a stone serpent (which can also provide atmospheric protection from the effects of space) to go and find Earth and provide the location afterwards. However, Hailwolf has always been reluctant to obey Ozona's tasks, not really on his side, and so she has thought of staying on earth as a place to settle. She also avoids who she is to avoid any responsibility and lives in hiding, making Ozona think she died once she arrived on Earth.  Hailwolf made it to earth thanks to Ozona already having a spare teleporting device from Mollug, created by his enchanted book. Mollug can keep track of them all as nearly all Zionthor’s allies wear one for Mollug to keep track of all the allies such as locations, power activity or if they are even alive. Hailwolf knew this device was significant, and to distance herself from the mean clan, Hailwolf decided to destroy it, which concerns Mollug, even letting Ozona know about this. This disappoints Ozona, but both are to keep an open mind that it could have been wrecked on its own rather than indicating an instant death when setting foot on the legion’s planet. Back on Ozona's world, with a new planet to invade...after another world which was planned to be invaded beforehand, Ozona has his goons also known as the stono's. The race is keen to obey any master, except this race is mixed, either keen to help Ozona or forced to obey, they do have their planet but for now, live with Ozona to benefit Ozona’s rule.  One of their main roles is to form these massive chains and link them from many places around the planet. His world acts as the centre of his galaxy, and the chained world spins slowly around Ga. One long chain was made and ready to launch for the planet Sliff, and now another one is starting to get made straight away, for the Earth.     

 

 

~Chapter 3 - Footage     

Back at the base on Earth, the legion is looking through the footage, and this footage showcases the many cases of the legion fighting aliens on Earth while causing collateral damage. The public overall is stunned that this legion has been a hidden team away from the public eye for so long. All legion members are disappointed, especially after seeing the reactions from all over the Internet. Even some of the servicemen they recognise have shown their reactions on their online platform, showing their confusion about the legion is truly as safe as it seems.  Even despite many comments flooding the screen, Zammy thought he saw one of his former human bullies commenting as well.  There were some comments which are more optimistic, more curious than worried, but that couldn't overtake the flooding negativity. This makes the legion question all sorts like; how can they show their true colours. Should the legion continue to be this low-level team to fight alien beings, or become more? And so, the legion decided to have a breather of their own. Nicole is certainly not a fan of the legion right now, so she decides to have a chat with Mike on her own. Zammy is to work on his gadgets for an idea, and Pod goes out for a swim. Zammy after being humiliated thought that to be less mocked, he should be more intimidating, and so he aims to make his gadgets convert the lightning to be more powerful. This makes him ego-driven to the point where he scares Arvin out of the room, and considers going to find Pod, who has already dived deep in the sea. Nicole has made it to Mike, having a chat with him, seeing if Nicole should reveal her childhood history with the legion, and Mike recommends not to. He too had a rough childhood, mainly growing up in an area full of crime in which he did get involved, and it is revealed resulted in him struggling to get work until he finally got into the army. If Nicole mentions her history with the legion, this could put them off Nicole, they need to get used to the same leadership optimism and even focus on the present which should get the legion back on track.  With this, Nicole plans not to mention anything to the legion and thank Mike. Whoever revealed this footage is considered to be a plan, alongside the base finding this out too. On the other hand, there might be another mission around the corner, a better chance for the legion to get themselves out of the shadow.     

     

 

 

~Chapter 4 - Intruders    

After the ruckus involving the president, Retron has his medical room in the medical section of the base. Retron swings himself around, seeing that he is fully healed after one more dose of painkillers, after the Orphion battle and both his metallic legs are now a better condition, all fixed. But he is still remarkably sad, the legion took his victory, and now he is eager for another one for himself. But he does go on the Internet, and he is very glad that the legion is getting shamed. Retron's doctor does go to see Retron, wondering how he is, and the doctor can see that Retron is now able to move around instead of sitting on his devices, waiting to be whole again, well not whole enough for Retron. Retron gets himself changed, and the doctor updates him that he is all good but healing his eye is still not possible.  Retron even wonders if he could have better legs and other than his rejected idea that liquid metal could be shapeshifted or melted at a point where it gives him better legs. The president is putting on hold what could be done with the netro, only allowing simpler items to be repainted. Annoyed, Retron leaves the room, after seeing some splashing of the sea outside of his window. Meanwhile, Pod is going out of the water of the beach (a beach not far from the grasslands of the base’s land). After his long swim, something which he does find relaxing, enabling him to forget everything, being fascinated by the water. Before seeing Arvin, Retron sees Pod first, belittling Pod for being a creature of ruination, something which Retron found out thanks to researching Mike’s ‘legion information’ without any permission. This Pod finds triggering, resisting the urge to harm Retron, and even Pod strangely notices the water rising near the trident he is holding. Always has the weapon on his person, and then the water drops, wondering what happened, thinking if the trident did this. Retron sees this and leaves with a titter, leaving Pod alone, while more insecure, even seeing Arvin lightly cheering Pod up later, and now both are going back to the base. Regardless, Mike and Nicole send a notification to Zammy, Arvin and Pod using their collabtors, which are brand new wrist-based communicators that also possess holographic technology. But we would think the mission is to find who released the footage, but no, it is another mission entirely. In the legion's building, Mike briefs the legion on what their next task will be, to go and find an intruder who has come from another planet.  The legion was also told that the base would not only try and find out about the footage but also tell the Legion not to get bothered about the footage. The legion has the Awesome Atone to find possible clues of this new intruder.  To aid this, all servicemen have been notified to keep out for this intruder, even using the internet or any recording technology to find any possible clues.  This intruder is of course Hailwolf, she is trying to hide around some vegetation close to a city, making sure no one is around, and for now, no one is around. She has settled and wonders what to do next, there is somewhere where she wants to be, but a lot of thoughts and past actions are keeping her back. Before she can relax more, she is spotted by some servicemen (who have been using navigational technology to track her down cautiously). Who was in the middle of the land, so Hailwolf goes into her Haywan form and goes on the run. This makes the servicemen drive their four-by-fours across the land of the earth, Hailwolf struggles to outrun the vehicles, and so once running doesn't work, despite Hailwolf jumping around some hills and rocks, she is still caught up, with servicemen firing stun lasers at her too. Eventually, she faces the servicemen, getting them out of vehicles and knocking them out by throwing them into trees as she grabs each one via her jaws, with no death and no proper injury. She only smacks them against the cars with her claws, throwing any servicemen away via light mouth grabs and she even uses her quills for some minor injury towards the servicemen’s legs before charging at them.  She has been tasked to kill before but now she has no current ties with Ozona, She keeps the servicemen alive, and now she runs off to where there is more vegetation. This leaves the servicemen injured as they update the base both about their injuries and where the intruder is going next. Hailwolf wants her own space, not wanting to get caught or involved with anyone right now, so she had to fend them off, and who knows who she may fend off next?  But thanks to her peaceful time, the earth is still a decent resting spot for now, now she has found a more hidden area.  Afterwards, she makes her way, and goes out in the middle of nowhere, hopefully, to get herself hidden again. It looks like the earth is not going to be an easy land to hide in.  Minutes later, the legion does go and sees the servicemen, and Nicole does aid them all, with plasters and painkillers. Sadly, the servicemen didn't fully see where the alien went aside from an area of more vegetation, so the legion did pick up digitally that some residents reported a UFO sitting but, on the ground. The Haphazard Legion does go to see the public, especially as the updates seem to come from those at the Nofetti City.  Pod thought this was a bad idea, but Nicole argued that if the legion is known then why not get help from the public and show that the legion is a group of decent beings with which Pod has to go along, so off they go on foot, Even the base wonders where Hailwolf is off to next. The legion is now in the city, entering the city square (with the Awesome Atone hidden in vegetation far away to prevent the public from seeing the vehicle, Zammy is still very protective of it). In the city, the public is not pleased to see the legion and is even scared of them. Nicole tries to reassure them that they are all safe as the legion tries and asks if they have seen the intruder, but not only is this foiled by most of the residents getting spooked by Pod. No one would have seen a human-like orca ever, but it is also made worse by the fact that Zammy's main bully is around.  Remembering and belittling Zammy on the go, but thanks to inspiration from the bullies, Zammy decides to put on a façade once the bully starts pushing Zammy back. Suddenly, a scary version of himself goes to attack the bully with his blunt-arm weapons, which ends up zapping the bully shocking the public. Nicole comes to sort out the situation, stopping Zammy from any more attacks while the bully lies on the ground, having his friends go and collect him. But now the legion is seen as intimidating, making them have to leave the city and find other clues of Hailwolf. Thankfully, Arvin did look at the phone of another resident without the resident noticing and see that Hailwolf does go in the direction of the Goril forest, and so the legion has a direction, but with some humiliation along the way.     

   

  

~Chapter 5 – A breather    

As the legion tries to find Hailwolf, all the legion members get insecure. To comfort this, Zammy does try and explain, without an apology...yet, Zammy has been bullied by many when he was growing up on the earth. After all, if the bullies could be appealing by being cool despite what they hide, then Zammy could do it too. Nicole and Pod however disagree with this, stating that Zammy shouldn’t get inspired by those he is not a fan of.  Zammy tries to argue by saying that why should he put on a mask if Nicole is. Nicole gets upset from this, even nastily persuaded by Pod to admit something, and so Nicole has a think about it but ultimately refuses, thinking what Mike recommended. From this, Nicole even wonders that from everything, the legion could consider stopping this task if they are getting more and more off, even contacting Mike, wondering what to do. Mike tells them all not to let any alter ego get in the way, and to have another go.  Even Mike helps find more coordinates for the legion as he controls his drone to look at the whole Goril forest without startling Hailwolf, who is back to her normal form. Thanks to the servicemen earlier and from what the base found out, this intruder has two forms, which even surprises the legion, there has never been a being like this before. However, not much progress on who released the footage outside of browsing many public devices as well as considering suspects in the base. In the meantime, Pod is worried about being disliked by others because he is part of a race that has caused trouble, and it's like the public can see that even though they do not know Pod's history...for now. Zammy also wonders if he should use a façade for the next part of the mission, to which the others disagree, alongside Mike. After getting brought down, Zammy then tries to put on a new mindset, a bit more confidence, and not be too vicious towards anyone. Even Arvin tries to gather the legion together and get them back on track, making the legion light up a bit, and so off they go to the next destination and target. The legion now has made it to the forest, and they are looking out for Hailwolf. After some time exploring, Hailwolf is found, Nicole tells Hailwolf to halt but Hailwolf goes on the run again, going back into her Haywan form, surprising the legion as they try and run after her or try and use projectiles. The legion does work together despite the issues earlier, and they do eventually get Hailwolf to stop. At first, no fatal attacks were performed against Hailwolf but then Pod had a weird moment where he was going to throw the trident to trap her, but it ended up forming a barrier of ice which made Hailwolf stop in her tracks, and then decide to face the legion. Nicole uses her riot shield to defend Zammy from one attack from Hailwolf where she can shoot sharp fur from her own body, Arvin does get onto Hailwolf's back to distract her and Pod mainly fights Hailwolf head to head, managing to take her down despite a couple of bites. But once Pod is off, Zammy stuns Hailwolf, lightly thanks to Nicole's advice and Nicole, despite Hailwolf being somewhat resistant to lightning, then reaffirms that she will be kept alive but will be arrested back at the base. The fight ends as Arvin uses his temporary evolution to spray goo from his eyes and tangle her legs with goo, making Hailwolf still, even Pod takes the chance to take her down after a small brawl. He uses his trident to defend himself from Hailwolf’s claws and jaws and uses his brute strength to bring her to the ground thanks to Zammy and Nicole’s stun-based attacks and Arvin’s goo to keep her extra still. Hailwolf is taken straight to the base, in Nicole’s cuffs while flown in the Awesome Atone as she was encouraged to get into her other form once Nicole threatens Hailwolf with a fatal laser from her gun. This made Hailwolf extra nervous that this planet already knew that she had two forms. She is also insecure that as some planets would have seen her benefit Ozona, she feels like she is already massively disliked. Later, Mike is pleased the legion has made it, while Retron is disappointed once again, seeing this from afar, and then goes back to his business. And Mike gets back to researching who on earth released the footage, unlikely to be aliens so far.  Hailwolf is now chained to a chair at the legion building, She then realises that the legion won't harm her, it's only questioning, and it's a chance for her to have a better future afterwards. The legion then asks why she is on earth, and she replies that she was tasked to provide the location of the Earth for her leader Ozona for him to rule another planet. But then decides not to after being fed up with a life where she is causing more havoc, she has always been reluctant. After getting this answer, seeing that Ozona is after Earth for no good reason, this makes the legion considers the idea of going after Ozona themselves, using Hailwolf as a guide, which Hailwolf is happy to do. During this confrontation, Nicole does become too harsh towards Hailwolf while Pod tries to go for a nicer approach, making Pod, Zammy and Arvin unsure of Nicole again. They ask later why Nicole was like that with Hailwolf, but Nicole refuses to answer, it is another piece of her history that which she doesn't want to reveal. Since Hailwolf first met Pod, she has been scared of him the most, after all, Valas is bad news, but seeing Pod being so nice surprises her, making Pod the most approachable at this point. Plus Pod is willing to put their fighting earlier aside to focus on the next mission while also keeping an open mind to make sure Hailwolf doesn’t backstab them. Regardless, Mike is updated about this new mission, telling him via the collabtors, and the legion is all geared up again. They are ready to leave for the first alien world for them to visit, except Pod, who has visited many planets, but all for bad reasons aside from Earth.     

     

 

~Chapter 6 – Ozona gets backlash.     

Ozona is about to walk into his fortress, and then he reminisces about his past, he used to be scared, but not anymore with the power that he has now. He was after the energy he has now, he finally got it after a 'certain event', and now he has been putting up his little performance for so long. Ozona is an areon, a race who are very interested in atmospheric activity, and Ozona has always wanted to control the air and more. He was that keen, and now he has that power, enabling him to be more intimidating in front of anyone, no longer showing fear in front of anyone. But this reminiscing stops as Opasnost, one of the slashoes living locally from Giddery ambushes Ozona. These slashoes do vary slightly but Opasnost has more like green skin and a brighter coat. His duel blades are dark green around the handle and light jade around the blades. The blades of a slashoe are made up of quite a tough material, coming from crystallised gems that can be found in asteroids. While Opasnost is a very skilled fighter, with duel blades alongside the abilities of temporary invincibility and an astral form. Ozona however is way more skilled with his skills which Hailwolf does explain to the legion later. This includes abilities like telekinesis, wind gushes, force fields, a telekinetic sword and lightning. Because of Ozona’s ability to sense a change in the air, Ozona can predict most of Opasnost’s moves. Opasnost’s mate Amicu earlier noticed that Opasnost did end up following Ozona hours after Ozona and Hailwolf left the planet. Amicu was hoping Opasnost would be at home after they fetched their food from their stalls, so Amicu went after Opasnost. Throughout the fight, most of the stonos notice this. The stonos (an army that Ozona leads) are human-sized, dark cyan, with one eye and some light blue markings all around them and they are almost made up of stone. They have mace-like weapons that can charge up and release gushes of air which is either as light as a push or enough to dent metal. But Ozona tells them to stand down and get them back to work. Due to Ozona’s old age, he is using this easy foe to see how long he can fight. Ozona likes to be wise and experiment with how long he can last and which abilities to go for first before he gets worn out too soon. There are days when the stonos do talk about who they are representing. In the past, they used to aid kings on many planets, but as most of those races are either extinct or lost a lot of power to keep themselves alive they don't make themselves too imposing towards Zionthor.  Now that all stonos are with Ozona (when it used to be multiple of them benefiting many rulers at once before they all reunite in their home world) some stonos are either fully in the idea or have less of a fan when they meet Ozona straight away or dislike Ozona more as they get to know Ozona more. That is when some stonos do bicker, wondering if it is worth staying with Ozona, finding another ruler or becoming more of an independent race. But every time they talk about this subject, it goes back to all having to stay with Ozona, especially as Ozona keeps them on their feet very often to perform tasks such as setting up chains or keeping an eye on planets Ozona is ruling. As Ozona does give the stonos privacy from time to time, it’s this privacy which makes Ozona unaware of these conversations. But he thinks he has a good grip at a point where no stono shall leave him, making them stay in fear. There have been cases where when Ozona has other opponents who want to fight him, he tends to be worn out depending on how tricky the opponent is. In this case, Opasnost is fast and has the ability of temporary invincibility which Ozona is not only quite preoccupied but trying to hurt Opasnost is tricky. Opasnost does his best to swing his blades at Ozona, but Ozona counters these by using telekinesis to make Ozona over-swing his blades, using simple martial arts to counter the other blade swings. Not to mention Ozona had a blade too which he often controls telekinetically which challenges Opasnost, keeping him away from Ozona. Eventually, Opasnost loses both blades as Ozona starts to get worn out, and so performs a lightning strike from his hands to get rid of both blades from Opasnost. Ozona then grabs Opasnost still using the telekinesis and then goes to try and zap Opasnost despite having his temporary invincibility up, seeing how long Opasnost could last. Some stonos do watch this, with some never seeing Ozona fight before, seeing why Ozona should be followed. It gets to a point where Opasnost is determined but ultimately loses, and survives because his mate Amicu stops the fight. Amicu apologises and removes Opasnost from the planet which Ozona just about agrees with, considering it as a peace offering, and Ozona does like his peace. Ozona will certainly kill Opasnost if Opasnost appears on Ozona's land again, Zionthor is not the only one who gets intruders on his turf. With the fight done, Ozona makes his way to the castle, to keep tabs on the worlds he is ruling via projection technology, making sure all his worlds  remain as restrictive as he likes. Opasnost tried to kill Ozona so he could be free, mainly to leave the planet and explore for more competition, to fight other alien races, but this is what Ozona has forbidden on all planets.    

  

  

~Chapter 7 – Entering planet Ga    

In the Awesome Atone, before getting to the important stuff, Nicole contacts Dyon, letting him know that if the legion is about to head into a corner, then Dyon would be a great help, but at the same time aware that Dyon is still diminishing Zionthor’s allies. As well as getting to know what Ozona is like such as his experience and the abilities such as his telekinetic sword, telekinesis, lightning production and force fields, his race is powerful to obtain such power. Hailwolf also takes the chance to explain how Hailwolf got mixed with Ozona in the first place. Hailwolf explains what race she is, one type of race that used to help the galaxy via combat, but this tradition was discontinued after finding out that Zionthor is after those who continue to use combat. Ozona is alone however race-wise, and this is where Hailwolf explains what the stonos are, beings who aid Ozona with taking over planets. This adds to Ozona’s little empire such as the massive chains that get launched to grab planets. Hailwolf however has sensed that some of the stonos haven’t been as fully into the cause as others, meaning if the stonos attack, they would be worth killing, but the more hesitant ones only require a takedown. This is a race which wants to represent and aid a good leader but seeing how restrictive Ozona can be, has made them more hesitant than ever. So many races like the pnumians don't get themselves into fighting to keep their race alive. Hailwolf however tried to continue the old tradition by making her learn to combat herself, both in her normal form and mainly in her animalistic form. Sadly, she was caught, and this did gain attraction as Ekron spotted Hailwolf one day when he was on one of his ‘planet spying tasks’ and reported this to Zionthor and then Ozona. Ozona considers linking the pneumian's planet via a massive chain and considers getting rid of most of the race, but Hailwolf offers to be an assistant to Ozona instead to save the lives of the others, knowing she might be better off the planet, thinking her race no longer wants her around. This may have been the case considering Ozona reveals himself in front of other pneumians that the race is in trouble, and it was Hailwolf’s fault considering her practice which had been going on for months. When the chain landed on the planet, the stonos around gathered the pneumians, using some rough force, no killing, the killing part was considered until Hailwolf offered herself to be an ally for Ozona. This makes Ozona spare the pnumians but nowhere days they are kept a closer eye on by Ozona, the stonos and even other allies of Zionthor. Ozona was mainly happy with his army and even Valas as a right-hand ally, but getting another ally nearly made Ozona consider getting his legion of allies with mixed abilities. Once Ozona got hold of Hailwolf, gripping her via telekinesis, taking her via the chain and out of the planet, the rest of the pneumians are then left alone but will have often visits from the stonos and perhaps Ozona himself as he manages multiple planets. The legion after hearing this thinks Hailwolf shouldn't have this mind-set and that her race would want her back, the race may need protecting after all. Once you show that you are protecting others, it is often the easiest way to help others move on. While Hailwolf disagrees, she still thinks that the legion seems okay so far, how they handle foes and seeing what the legion is like when they are not fighting. This makes her drawn to them more, something which Zammy reconsider how he presents himself. As Pod sees that sharing history is helping this situation regardless of what Nicole thinks, Pod shares about how he used to be led by a cruel leader, with which Hailwolf can empathise. They compare each other’s experiences such as how Ozona was restrictive to what Hailwolf can do during her spare time and Pod talks about how he has been pushed around all the time for when needing to get anything done. After asking more about Mechajaw such as how Mechajaw was very animalistic, especially towards those who were smarter than him, Hailwolf responds that Ozona is mainly sly. But Ozona has had moments of silence, making Hailwolf wonder if this grand being is putting on an image, and even Ozona threatens Hailwolf if she ends up staring at Ozona for his odd behaviour. And so, after a chat, Hailwolf guides piloting Zammy to go under the water (the Awesome Atone can adapt to space as well as water), thanks to Zammy’s upgrades. And with the Awesome Atone adapted to space, Zammy and some specialists at the base created space suits for the legion if they ever get to an uninhabitable planet. But like any other planet, they end up in, they make sure that the air is good via holographic technology, but both that and Hailwolf state that it’s safe to breathe. The vehicle goes into a cove, It is a recommended shortcut by Hailwolf so the legion can get to Ozona via a sneakier route, but Hailwolf didn't know Ozona has another ability too. Ozona earlier sensed atmospheric activity, this is where Ozona sent Valas down to where the atmospheric activity took place, diving quickly into the water.  Ozona is confident Valas will sort out another intruder while Ozona keeps an eye on the production of the new chain. He is waiting for his destination to invade the planet Sliff using his castle’s holographic projections to keep an eye on all the planets he is ruling via camera feeds. Speaking of Valas, Hailwolf mentioned Valas to the legion earlier, being shocked that another morfil was around, this made Pod look back and see why Hailwolf was scared of him at first. This makes Pod consider that no other morfil so far has been on the right path, bothering him more, but at least there is an alright start with Hailwolf. Due to how unpredictable the cove is, the Awesome Atone is accidentally knocked into a top part of a cavern and is slowly going down, the Awesome Atone is broken, how will they get out? Zammy immediately knows that the ship needs fixing, but unfortunately, they all get cornered and wrapped in seaweed by tengers, crab-like creatures which have more normal arms and legs compared to a normal crab. With everyone wrapped in seaweed, the legion is all hanged upside down, not even Hailwolf recognises these. Even Nicole states to the legion to stand down, it seems like a misunderstanding so far, there is no need to attack. The tengers are creatures that used to own Ozona's planet, it was mostly water up until Ozona and his hired goons of stono's got rid of the water and tried to wipe away the tengers. Considering they once possessed something very valuable, and now there are some survivors, eating seaweed and running on one star as permanent heat. Most of them died when Ozona got his stonos did started to alter the planet, but most of the tengers survived by going to the core of the planet. So deep in the water, the stonos won't risk it, tengers are far more adapted to the deep water compared to other creatures in the universe. The cavern they are in now is part of the core, from how the water travels around the planet, the water hardly enters this deep cove. The legion after hearing this later does clarify that they want to take down Ozona, freeing anyone in his grasp.  This makes the tengers drawn to the legion, even seeing this without any fake ego around, the tengers no longer see the legion as a threat. And so, the seaweed is undone, and the tengers will help fix the Awesome Atone, alongside eating and chatting, the tengers do seem keen on everyone, except Pod. They know from legends what morfils are like alongside a nearby neighbour making a bad impression, Pod could tell, and they aren’t impressed. As this goes on, Pod leaves his trident aside, and one tenger gets curious about it, and Pod once again gets defensive and snatches the trident away from the tenger. The tenger gets scared and the other tengers start getting put off by Pod and then the rest of the legion. The tengers all gather and get the legion to leave, with Pod squandering this potential connection, the legion decides to leave them, Ozona is a priority. This leaves only the legion to fix the Awesome Atone alone, slowing down the progress, and the tengers all run and hide away, making the legion disappointed in Pod, and Pod shows a side to him that he thought was not around anymore. This does make the legion angry towards Pod, he has shown a side to him that wasn't true, and Pod can only look at himself in shame, he cannot compare himself to Zammy or Nicole. But when things couldn't get worse, Valas comes around, shocking everyone including Pod.     

 

    

~Chapter 8 – Invading the latest planet    

On the planet Sliff, live the Du-ui, basically beings like snakes but with arms, a world which is full of sports, warm weather, wide sees and buildings with small gaps to them. Their normal day however is about to get badly disrupted, a massive chain is coming from the sky, hitting into the ocean (which is no problem thanks to the roxi serpents and that the stonos can swim), puzzling many of the Du-ui there. As the chain lands, it all plays out in similar ways as explained by Hailwolf, stonos start rushing there on foot or via the Roxi serpents. Ozona also comes along as he uses telekinesis to hover from place to place, hovering on a piece of debris  However, unlike past cases, the number of reluctant stonos has increased, with more starting to see Ozona's plans as too far or too horrid. More races are losing their free will and extra measures have to be performed if these snake beings start to get into martial arts which they have tried to be secretive about to hopefully defend others or themselves considering how many planets are still getting harmed. These Du-ui like to watch planets via enhanced telescopes and often the fighting can be noticeable enough even from a distance.  It was one of Zionthor's allies who had been spying from one planet to the next, seeing if other races had attempted to act as fighting vigilantes just like the legion and many other beings, and it's those who get reported to Zionthor and then the race gets attacked. Ozona however mainly rules over races that were once peaceful or at least not too concerning, but these Du-ui have tried to research the many forms of martial arts coming from many alien races. But what not many races do not know however is that it was Zionthor's race which had originated most forms of martial arts, and they have been spread around via other races which does not make Zionthor happy. Even some powerful entities who used to exist spread words of the fighting styles too, even some talked about how they saw Zionthor’s race fight before and how impressive they seemed, adding to why only he wants to possess the knowledge of fighting. Regardless, most stonos fight the Du-ui which are more hostile while the more defective stonos, only help gather the Du-ui in one spot for Ozona to speak to them all about the new way they will be living their lives. With a new addition of having some stonos who watch the planet just so they can see if a planet is running peacefully or not. As Ozona hovers, some Du-ui try and fight him up close, but he either zaps the Du-ui minorly, uses his force fields to defend himself or uses telekinesis to move any Du-ui aside. These Du-ui have no weapons and no proper abilities aside from slithering quickly and they can punch quickly, but what they can do has nothing on Ozona or the stonos. The stonos may have basic fighting skills but they can use their maces to gush air, winning a lot of fights. All the Du-ui have now gathered on a spot, for Ozona to have his speech about how his planet is now his alongside others, scaring the Du-ui, but as long as they behave, they'll be fine, which can be the tensest feeling ever. With another planet for Ozona to play 'politics' with on his own, and so Ozona and most of the stonos get back to their planet, with none of the stonos getting hurt, it was another successful planet takeover, the ninth one to be precise. Ozona has been doing this since a ‘certain event’ took place, the chains and transporting do take a while after all, not to mention going for certain planets after seeing what they are like. While Ozona has finished invading this land, not only does Mollug remind Ozona via a communication spell that Zionthor would like to see him soon but Mollug states to Ozona that Hailwolf might have died, got captured or something else because her teleporting device has broken. This puzzles Ozona, but he will make his way to Earth anyway, even with less of an idea for where the Earth could be, but he at least has a whole army to help with that, he nearly asks Mollug but Mollug leaves the call, and Zionthor’s goons are busier now they need to keep Zionthor’s reputation up.    

    

 

~Chapter 9 - Valas    

As the legion tries and fix the Awesome Atone by replacing parts of the engine (thanks to keeping spare engine parts), something starts coming out of one of the water tunnels, another morfil gushes out of it, shocking everyone. As they see Valas, Hailwolf talks about how that is Valas, Ozona’s morfil, Valas is seen coming towards the legion and the Awesome Atone. He even sees the tengers from afar, shocking him as he thought all the tengers were gone, he took part in their slaughter after all. And so Valas causes some madness, he recognises the legion from past descriptions, the likes of him and Ozona have been told via exchanges from Zionthor and his other allies in the past what this legion looks like. He also sees that Hailwolf has turned her back on Ozona, making him angry, and keen to go for her as his main target. Valas then confronts the legion, plus after seeing a glimpse of Pod’s trident power, even after seeing a morfil which he thinks is on the wrong side, Valas fights off the legion and gets hold of the trident from Pod, and Valas manages to put all the tengers into a single ice block. The legion continues to be puzzled after the ice wall that stopped Hailwolf, never knowing the trident could do these things. Pod despite knowing about these minor qualities of the trident is also shocked, now Valas is going to try and fight the legion, swinging the trident, making the legion avoid a wave of fire by ducking, the trident can produce fire too. Nicole and Zammy remain distant while Pod, Hailwolf and Arvin fight Valas up close. As another morfil who has been misled, Pod is eager to keep Valas alive, and try and get him to turn. Pod tries to keep Valas intact, preventing Valas from using the trident, and he manages to unlock more of the trident's power due to being familiar with energy-absorbing devices especially as Ozona bears one, knowing devices like these require a certain mindset. Valas ends up dropping the trident after trying to use it again, It mildly burnt him once and it did so again, making his hand both freeze and burn, angering him further. Even at a point where Hailwolf tried to stop Valas from attacking by keeping one of his arms towards the ground, Valas ends up flipping Hailwolf upwards, biting one of her back legs and then throwing Hailwolf, making Hailwolf go back to her original form where her leg shares the same injury. Nicole goes to Hailwolf to aid her, making Zammy act as the primary long-range fighter. With Hailwolf as Valas’s primary target, the others prevent Valas from doing any other harm against Hailwolf. Arvin too struggles to restrain Valas using his tentacles spawned from his back using his evolution-based abilities. Even Valas swings himself to land on Arvin, hurting Arvin, but Arvin uses his other tentacles from his temporary evolution to soften his landing. Due to Valas acting in an animalistic way, Arvin is told to try and help break the tengers from the ice, Arvin can break the ice using his temporarily evolved claws, nearly breaking the Tenger’s free. The rest of the fight plays out as Pod uses his martial arts without the trident, trying to calm Valas down, countering every punch thrown at him without hurting Valas back, trying to explain that he cannot act like this anymore, even Pod tells Zammy to stop trying to stun Valas. Near the edge, Valas tricks Pod into falling for Pod’s words, but Valas manages to use his frozen hand to form a blade, Nicole sees this and then fires her grenade launcher in Valas’s mouth, killing him and he falls disappointing and shocking Pod. The tengers are pleased and are free now the ice is gone, after all, whoever casts any ability goes alongside the effects of their abilities, and no dead being can continue anything supernatural. The tengers are very pleased with the legion, however, while Pod is accepted more so, he is still sad about the legion's actions to get rid of another morfil that has suffered. Even Zammy goes to chat with Pod to try and cheer him up, especially now the tengers seem to be into Pod despite being a morfil himself. Even Nicole as she aids Hailwolf both do have a nice moment, and Nicole for once admits a part of her history on how she wanted to work at a hospital, and those skills she still has despite never working in a hospital. Pod does overhear this, and wonders about Nicole in a slightly negative way, she is revealing part of her history in front of a stranger, not one of her closest friends. Finally, Hailwolf helps defeat Valas with full intention, this further confirms how much Hailwolf is against the fraction she was enslaved to, making the trust with her more solid, even though Hailwolf was always nice to the tengers she just met. Zammy still thinks that Nicole revealing her history with someone is a good step for Nicole, but Pod still disagrees.  Whilst Pod is sombre about Nicole and Valas, this is where the legion also wonders about Pod’s trident’s abilities. Pod unenthusiastically said that it has happened before but not to this degree. But thanks to Valas reaching into it, this could mean Pod can do more than swing a trident around. The tengers offer tips, and the legion is more excited with more power on their side. The legion was focused on arresting Hailwolf earlier hence why they asked now, whilst everything is calm despite needing to fix the Awesome Atone quickly.  

     

 

 

~Chapter 10 – The Return of Dyon    

Dyon is in the world of the Noozles, simply called ‘Noozle land’, the Noozles are small dark blue creatures with trunks and dragon wings. Dyon has been going from one Zionthor goon to the next, really shrinking the alliance. Dyon is now up against Kyborgi, someone who can turn into a ball and can move around very quickly. He can even turn speed into a former of energy that can be blasted and even able to spin around objects to throw any debris around the area. Dyon while making sure no debris hits the Noozles alongside other wildlife, but despite getting hit by the superspeed-like energy, Dyon defeats yet another ally of Zionthor. But Dyon sees that the legion is about to go to Ozona, and so Dyon is trying to decide between Zionthor goons alongside other issues like earthquakes and crimes across other worlds. Dyon also thought that by making his way to the legion, the legion might have an upper hand against Ozona already seeing how powerful he is. Dyon has been waiting to take Ozona for a long time, not as active as other villains but Ozona is still not good news, his empire of restriction must end someday. As well as diminishing Zionthor’s forces, Dyon has allied with a machine-generating race to form multiple satellites to place on many if not all planets for Dyon to keep tabs on multiple planets, able to help planets that are devoid of technology.  This race is Mechanams, rat-like but bigger, with massive flexible hands and wearing a lot of flammable protection around them, and working in large numbers enables them to make all sorts of machinery for many races. But they do try and stay under the radar just in case they are a threat against Zionthor, no one knows how to avoid Zionthor’s list nowadays. After all, he needs any recording technology to help identify threats more specifically, but he can only place those satellites in his spare time which there is little of.
