Rangers of The Galaxy

Birth of Heroes

(LONDON, ENGLAND)

A skyscraper was in view, but below, there were other wide constructions; people patrolled almost everywhere. And in the premises of this company, a black car stopped, and suited guards rushed towards the car to open the door from the exterior part of the car.

A man stepped out first, he was putting on a blue cold weather top; long sleeved, and black jean trouser; he had grey hair growing already, but black still dominated.

His name; Mr. Daniel Gates.

He’s the head of the company, which was named; House of Gates.

A weird and dumb name, right?

Then a lady also alighted from the car, her brown hair danced to the rhythm of the wind. She was putting on a black gown, and she was also on black high heel shoes; an expensive black smart watch on her left wrist, black earrings hanging onto her ears. She was also putting on a black but shiny ring on the ring finger of her right hand. She was a beauty to behold; her look was just too perfect; attractive and tempting lips, gorgeous eyes which could attract a man like a magnet. 

She is Felicia Gates; the daughter of Mr. Gates, and she’s just 19 years, but was also a music artiste. 

She had a slight smile on her face, and puts on a black spectacle, before walking alongside her father into the company, and they were accompanied by few guards who were all suited.

They were now in the elevator; Mr. Gates, Felicia, and two male guards. 

As the elevator began to move up, she felt a sharp pain in her head, and her eyes twitched as light sparkled in it, but no one saw it; thanks to the fact that she was putting on a black spectacle.

Perhaps she also has something wrong with her.

As the elevator stopped, the door dinged open, and the three others went ahead into a room, before she followed them in too.

There were three men waiting for Mr. Gates, but Felicia headed straight for a door which led into a small office. She closed the door behind her, and sat on a couch; heaving a sigh of relief

She took off her glass, and rests her back comfortably, touching her forehead with her palm. 

       “I just wanna get rid of this…”, she sobbed

Immediately, her past flashed back into her mind

(9 YEARS AGO - 2012)

Felicia was just a girl; 10 years, with her father and mother, in their big and beautiful house. She had an elder brother who was 14 years at this time, and their house had guards all around. 

Felicia and her brother were running around, outside the house while their parents walked towards them slowly with a smile on their faces; she had a happy family.

They still lived in U.S.A. at this time, and that evening, as both kids were playing around, a black hole suddenly appeared while wind blew from it, pushing the kids backwards, but her brother was thrust farther than her because she was pushed to a pillar.

Suddenly, a bright light shone from it, coming at her, and blasting her all out while some engineering devices and wires also hit her at this time, and the pillar was destroyed.

Those devices were the project devices being used by Mr. Allen (Robin Allen’s father). Remember those things disappeared after the god wave hit them.

Her mother tried to rush to her, while her father went to her brother; but as her mom was coming, another black hole appeared, and a force of energy came through this one; blasting her away and she died in the process while her skin was completely fried.

The guards around were being blown and sucked into the black holes as well. 

Her father; Mr. Gates saw his son wasn’t breathing anymore. He couldn’t even do a thing, and Felicia was being drawn by the black hole, about to be sucked away, but he hurried towards her, and couldn’t get to her.

But a savior came at this time; a man came through one of the portals; clad in an outfit which looked like that of a superhero. He was masked, and the outfit was blue, while he had a blonde hair. 

He grabbed Felicia and boosted into the house along with her father; saving them from the black hole which then disappears with a boom!

Their savior had blue shiny eyes, and he spoke to Mr. Gates, 

       “Your daughter… must be safe”

While Mr. Gates who seemed confused only asked, “Who are you?”

       “I’m Mister Marvel,” the hero answered, “… the galactic hero. I was just in the Triangulum Galaxy when I was brought here by a black hole; be happy it brought me here and not the monster I was fighting. We will meet again”

Mister Marvel sped out of sight, and Mr. Gates only stood in confusion; while he didn’t know Felicia was already awake.

(PRESENT DAY)

Felicia snapped back to reality and as she was about to get up, a force weighed her down, and she saw her arms covered in blue hue. She was perplexed, and confused as to what was just happened; she couldn’t raise her arms, and as she tried to raise her legs, the blue hue covered it as well; weighing her legs too.

She got scared immediately, and tried to scream, but her mouth was covered in blue hue, so she couldn’t utter a word.

A being suddenly phased through the wall of the office, coming in while floating in the air.

Covered in blue outfit, and mask, but the blonde hair revealed. He pointed his right hand at Felicia, and was shiny; blue light emanating from all over him.

He lands slowly on his feet, while the blue light died off, he pulled back his hand; making her free.

Felicia gasped in surprise and said to him, “You’re… you’re… Mister Marvel?”

Mister Marvel nodded and took off his blue mask; revealing to be a young handsome man who looked like he was still 30 years,

       “What are you?”, Felicia asked as she widened her eyes

       “I’m Mister Marvel… A Ranger of the Galaxy. We need each other’s help”, he claimed, then moved closer to her, “The fate of the world lies in our hands as heroes, and we need to join hands together as heroes… Because, heroes are stronger together”

       “Look, I’m not like those superheroes out there…”, she said, “I’m just a girl who doesn’t want the abilities which give me pain… I don’t want something that killed my mother and brother”

       “Please leave!’, she added

The door was knocked twice from outside. 

       “Who’s that?”, Felicia asked, while Mister Marvel said to her, “Your father”

       “It’s me”, Her father said from outside

Felicia stared at Mister Marvel in surprise as to how he knew; “X-ray vision”, he said, as if he knew she wanted to ask.

He stretched his hand towards the door, and blue hue appearing in form of a hand unlocked the door, and it was opened for Mr. Gates to come in.

On seeing Mister Marvel, he was startled at first, but he quickly closed the door and gazed at his daughter before speaking, 

       “How did he…?”, he pointed at Mister Marvel, who came towards Mr. Gates, saying to him, 

       “If your daughter doesn’t fight to protect the world, then this world, and more worlds will be lost… many… so many you can’t even count; all with lives on them. How would that make you feel if your daughter’s stubbornness costs us that…? Even Earth too”

       “I’ll say nothing. I’ve lost my wife, and son… now you want me to lose my daughter too? Never”, Mr. Gates lashed back, but Felicia stood up, and said, 

       “I’ll do it. I’ll help, but on one condition… machines on my dad and a guarantee for my safety”

What the hell just prompted her change of mind? For friendship or what?

Mister Marvel smiles and replies, “Okay”

       “You mean the machines you’re gonna use to fly out of the planet? By House of Gates?”, Mr. Gates asked while Felicia smiles, “Yeah”, she replied, “we can…”

(WASHINGTON DC)

(THE UNDERGROUND FACILITY)

On the underground level of this facility, Mr. Thomas Pearce was walking alongside Stewart as they went up the stairs while conversing.

       “Now, that one is gone… we can’t find her”, Mr. Thomas said and sighs; he was looking worried

       “Yes, but we might come across her again; what if she needs our help later? Think about it”, Stewart replies, and a phone began to ring; he pulled out his phone while Thomas continued walking and he stopped to see the caller’s name; ‘Mr. Gates’

He sighs and answered the call, 

       “Hello… yes? I’m well aware of that. Alright, I’ll be there”

He immediately turned and headed for an elevator; looks like he knows Mr. Gates too.

(LOS ANGELES)

(THE HOSPITAL)

Dr. Trisha was terrified, as she stared at the angry Robin; while his eyes glowed light; she couldn’t move an inch due to fear. 

Robin saw fear in her eyes, then he held back as his eyes became normal again, and he exhaled sharply

       “I’m sorry”, he said to the doctor, while he got off the bed, offering a hand to get her up; she looked away in fear; staring at Mr. Allen who was very calm.

The doctor stood up on her own as she held on to a cabinet box, “It’s fine”, she said to him

       “Doctor,” Mr. Allen called out to her, “My son isn’t a monster; he just has strange abilities that are affecting him for reasons we don’t know”

       “Then… then I think you should find out what made him this way… Find out”, she said in a shaky voice.

Robin sighs deeply, and said to himself, “I see that planet, but I don’t know how to get there nor where it is… Planet Gonalis”

(OUTSIDE EARTH)

Sophie was in space, outside earth; and her whole body was radiating light; even her face, and hair. She was staring at the Planet Earth, when she heard a voice behind her,

       “goddess of the star”, a male voice spoke from behind

She turned immediately to see a person before her; he was mid-air; putting on a black suit, and black trousers as well; he had black hair, and was also putting on a spectacle. It was Photo Power.

She smirked and spoke, “Bastard son of a god… I feel the blood in you. Son of that copycat who betrayed his people… I suppose you're no different from your father”

       “I see you know my father well enough than I do”, Photo Power replies, “then you must know that I have a connection to the white ring; and I will get it in order to attain full godhood” 

       “You’ll never get it, bastard… I’ll stop you before you even get the chance to”, she was quite confident.

        “Hope you’re not forgetting something…”, Photo Power says, “… I can easily copy your powers, and besides, my father has told me about you”, Photo Power scoffed.

She spun on a spot, and light rays rolled around her, before she flared up white flames; she was ready to fight, but not so dumb to attack all out.

Photo Power also stood right there; expecting an attack from her; he was smiling cause he knew she wouldn’t wanna attack first.

Suddenly, they heard a Boom! Sound and a portal appeared close to them; their attentions were turned towards this green portal. Even if Photo Power didn’t know who or what was coming, Star was very well knowledgeable of what’s next; it could be seen from her expression.
