The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Keith's Apology
“How could you do this to me Keith?” Ethan asked. The lieutenant who already looked bruised up, swallowed and then turned his head away. Brackson was in the room with them by the corner. Silent. Earlier the major had ordered for a lockdown of the whole facility and carried out a mandatory research. Though he didn't need to search all the soldiers because his main target where the high ranking officers are still the ones that had access to the missile launchers. They found Keith around the perimeter fencing trying to escape from the base and then he was captured. When his room was searched and his things were around sacked they found out he had been communicating with an outsider using a different device. Tears rolled down his face. “I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” his voice choked with emotions. For Ethan, his lieutenants were one of the few people he could trust with his life so a betrayal like this really stabbed deep into his heart. “They held my family hostage in Ivar, I had no
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Think About Your Punishment
For 2 years he didn't hear anything from her, there was no contact. One day she randomly called him in tears and told him everything. By now the war was coming to an end and she finally felt like she was stable in life. She told him that she had two children for him, twins. Now she was living in the capital city of iva and had a small business going for her which she used to sustain her kids. Keith was a mess when he found out that he had children with her. Despite the fact that the time they spent together was relatively short, he was still deeply in love with her. Since the time he and her were together, he had risen in rank and was now a lieutenant. Robert was at the verge of retirement and Ethan would soon become the legion commander. This was a critical time and he couldn't leave yet. He could only communicate with Leilani and his kids through video calls and voice calls. It was very hard for him but it was all he could do. “Keith, the children are turning three this yea
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Cross My Heart And Hope To Die
Irene and Skyler were roommates, they were the only ones in this room of two. Ethan had made sure that everything was perfect so that Irene would always naturally be in proximity with Skyler. They were both in the science department although not exactly in the same course as it was kind of tricky to get a spy as a pre-med student.Irene would write attendances and take tests just like regular students except she would never have her result compiled as she wasn't schooling, the management was aware of this. “This room is so wonderful and spacious,” Skyler breathed. “Hm. Manageable.”They continued to arrange their bags. A knock on the door made both of them pause, Irene decided to go get it. As the door opened, a girl holding a huge bag came into their view. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand. The girl looked at the paper and then looked up at the room number. “Yep I'm in the right place.”Skyler and Irene shared a confused look. “Hi I'm Esme,” she said introducing herse
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • All Aboard To Davenport
The trudging of his boots filled the air as he made his way through the hallway, Natasha was following behind him with a tablet in her hand. “Sir, you would have to get some fake documents and head to Davenport my ship to avoid any travel records that would point to you coming from Armoria. Then take a flight to Ivar from there with your fake documentation. It's a long shot but it's possible.” “Then let's do it.”He took a sharp turn and she mirrored his movement. “Just one problem, he wouldn't be able to carry your weapons with you from Davenport to Ivar. That would leave you vulnerable.”“That's not a problem, I'm not planning to fight, I'm just going to rescue someone.” He came to a stop in front of the door where Keith was kept. The security guard gave him a curt nod and then he grabbed the handle and pushed it open. “Lieutenant, are you ready to go save your family?”Keith's eyes grew wide. “Yes commander. But how?” “Natasha and I have found a way, it'll be a dangerous miss
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Beeline
Skyler was lying down on the bed trying to go through some materials she had received yesterday. The loud sound of Sam blow drying her hair kept on interrupting Skyler's thoughts. “Sam.” She called out at first in a low voice. Sam, completely oblivious that Skyler was calling her name, continues to blow dry her hair loudly..“Sam. Sam!” Skyler yelled.Sam paused, shooting her a disapproving look. “What?” She asked, doing very little to hide her irritation.“I'm trying to study and your blow dryer is too loud, it's distracting.”Sam blinked a few times and then burst out laughing. “You're trying to study, at the beginning of the session?”Skyler wore a confused look. “What's wrong with that?” She asked. “You're such a nerd, do you even have a life?” “No I'm not a nerd, I just want to be familiar with the courses I'm going to be doing so I don't end up feeling clueless.”“Nerd!” Sam rang and then continued blow drying her hair. Skyler rolled her eyes and headed to her side of the wa
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Back For Payback
Skyler held her breath, instantly growing confused as to why these boys were walking towards her. Irene instantly got on defence mode and step forward such that she was now standing in front of Skyler. From the back, Raul sighed. “What do you want mason?” He asked.The boys are not actually working towards Skyler, they were working towards Raul who was standing behind Skyler. “You brat, so you think you could just get away with what you did in the morning?” The one in the middle, Mason, said. Mason was the one that was with Sam the other day. When Irene noticed that the boy is walked past them, she relaxed a bit. “Come on Skyler let's go,” she whispered, grabbing the girls wrist and leading her away. However Skyler could help but look back at Raul, the boys circled around him and from the looks of it it wasn't a friendly encounter. One of them shoved Raul backwards. Earlier today in the dorms, there was the misunderstanding between Mason and Raul. This eventually led to mason at
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Oh Please, Spare Me That
Ethan was the first to wake up, and then the sound woke Keith. They were still on sea and it was raining outside. The first thing Ethan noticed was his grumbling stomach. He unzipped his bag and dipped his hand in to bring out some snacks. As he was munching down on them he looked at Keith. “Would you like to have some meat rolls?” He offered.“Just one would do sir,” Keith replied, extending his hands to receive it from Ethan. They continued to eat in silence as the storm outside grew more turbulent. “Do you hear that?” Ethan asked, straining his ears to pinpoint the source of the sound. Keith also began being more attention. “Yeah it sounds like… chaos?” They shared a knowing look and then came out of their room. Even if they were on an undercover mission, they were still soldiers and had to be aware of their environment.Two men were fighting on deck, it was a very aggressive fight that made people want to run away from them. Ethan approached cautiously and then separated the
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • “I Like Quiet”
Irene stayed put, completely unfazed by Mason. Skyler's heart was in her mouth as she watched Mason form a fist with his hands, throwing a punch.With one gentle movement, she stepped away from the trajectory of the blow, causing him to miss completely. Then she grabbed his arm and yanked him forward using his own momentum against him. With skilful precision she flipped Mason and he landed painfully on his back. “Be thankful that I did not choose to dislocate your arm,” she whispered to him. Now his other friends who were struggling with Raul were stunned. How could a woman like this bring a muscular guy like Mason to the floor within seconds? Killian stepped out. “So you want to fight with men huh?”The two other boys began cheering him up. “Well bring it on, I'll show you what it means to fight with a man today.”Irene leaped forward, her knees crashing against his chest. He didn't even know what happened until he found himself on the ground. “Does anyone else wish to embarrass

• The Legion Family
The laughter of children running around in the backyard hung in the air. Valarie was behind the grill, roasting the chicken. Stacey walked into the yard, holding a toddler in her hands as well as her husband beside them. Immediately the two women saw each other, they started to smile. “Oh my gosh Stacey, I didn’t think you could make it,” Valerie said after pulling away from their hug. “Is this your son?” She nodded in response, “He’s about the same age as Emilio and Emilia. Speaking of which, where are they anyway?” She asked. “Oh just over there,” Valerie replied, pointing in the direction. It had been two years now since she had brought these wonderful fraternal twins to the world, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. She would never have believed life could be so refreshing after all the hardship that she and Ethan had endured in the past. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and lifted her off the ground. “Oh my goodness, Ethan,” she called out playfully. “When w
• Little Bundle Of Joys
Several months laterValerie was standing by the balcony, overlooking the city. The past few months have been nothing but perfect and she couldn’t help but wonder if she was dreaming. Even if she was, she would rather not wake up from it because this was a blissful dream. The sound of footsteps coming from behind her met her ears, she turned around to face Ethan. “I knew I’d find you here,” he said affectionately, wrapping his hands around her waist as he rested his chin against her shoulders.She melted into his frame, a warm smile spreading on her face. “Yes, the view from here is quite lovely.”Ever since Ethan had reclaimed the Vanguard manor, he moved in with Valerie. She loved the change of environment so much. The Sterling manor was sold because after Clifford lost the presidential elections, he was neck deep in debt and had to pay. His sponsors had ruthlessly abandoned him like he was vermin. Leaving him stranded and bankrupt.. Valerie was not even at the slightest intereste
• Congratulations
The wedding bells chimed as Valerie got down from her car, the important people in Armoria were here to witness the union of the legion commander and his wife. Her dress was a body holding white silver tube gown which embodied the contours of her waist. It was embellished with pearls and attached to the bottom were gatherers which she was helped with while moving. People began to turn but her eyes ignored all of them, locking on to Ethan's who was at the end of the road, hands folded in front of him as he was in his charcoal gray suit. By now she was already a few more weeks in, but the baby bump wasn't too visible yet. All heads turned to face her and people began to whisper, she was just one of the most expensive designer brands in the country. Something many brides could only dream of wearing. Her mother Therese, who was also on the verge of shedding tears, walked her down the aisle, handing her over to Ethan. They locked hands, turning to face the priest that would join them
• Nearing The End
The Vanguard's were all gathered around the living room with panic strikes expression on their faces. Martha looked like she had just seen a ghost. Larry descended from the staircase with a stoic expression on his face, briefcase in hand. “Just where do you think you're going?” Desmond's voice boomed.“I'm leaving this place before Ethan comes back here to throw you guys out on the streets and disgrace you in the neighborhood, I don't want to be a part of it.”A gasp escaped from his parents lips. “Larry, how could you say such a thing!” Martha scolded him. “Ethan can't do that! He can't! I've called the lawyers already, everything is under control.” Larry scoffed, shaking his head slowly. “You guys don't realize it, don't you? You stole from him, you took what rightfully belongs to him and his father, this house, this manor, it belonged to my uncle! Not you, nothing you do will change that!” He tightened his grip on the bag and walked away, sparing no second glance. Tears prick
• A Little Secret
At the funeral, Therese was standing in front of Renée’s coffin, trying her heart out when Valerie rolled her wheelchair towards her mother. “Mom,” she called. Therese froze. Could her ears be deceiving her? It couldn't be. She immediately turned around and saw that it was her daughter. “Valerie, you're back,” he replied, joyful tears filling her eyes as she crouched down to hug her daughter. Renée was being buried in the family manor. Guests from all over had begun to arrive and Clifford was too busy trying to network and interact to actually even notice that his second daughter had returned. “I wish she and I hadn't fought. Then she wouldn't have come back to Armoria, none of this would have happened.”Therese grabbed her daughter's face and rubbed it. “Don't say that. It is not your fault, Clifford is the one to blame. He's the one that pushed her into this predicament.”Valerie scoffed. “Why am I not surprised?”“Honey, I think there's something you need to know. Your father a
• The One Allowed To Cheat Death
“My baby, how is my baby?” Valerie asked desperately. “We ran all the scans and your baby miraculously survived. The angle at which you were shot didn't have any contact with your uterus or developing baby whatsoever. And thankfully you were shot from a distance so the bullet didn't do much damage, a little bit of rest and healing and you'll be alright. The only issue is the amount of blood you lost, so will be placing you on some supplements and as well as giving you some dietary suggestions.”Hearing this news from the doctor felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. At least she could finally smile about something. “I just wish Ethan was here and then my family would be complete,” he whispered. Lucy backed away from her. “It's going to be okay.”The lieutenants had no idea that Ethan was still alive, because Natasha hadn't communicated it to them yet. “When can I be discharged and go home?” Valerie asked. “Right now I can see that you're safe for travel so you can go today
• A Small Click
“Natasha has made all the necessary arrangements, you can return back to Armoria with ease,” Ethan said, walking towards the door. “What about you?” Darren asked. “I know where Cyrus and his men are, I need to go there and finish them off before they leave Chelmen.”“Wasn't it solo missions like this that even led you to this predicament? Now you have survived, you might not be so lucky next time Ethan.” He paused, placing an arm on Darren's shoulders. “This time, I will be.”Darren watched as Ethan exited the house. He stood by the street at the designated spot and then a black car pulled over and an elderly looking man came out of the car. “You must be Ethan Vanguard,” the man greeted in a thick accent. “Everything you need is in the trunk, and here are the car keys. Please return the car, the last people to use they didn't,” he said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Ethan smirked. “Best believe I will, but it may have some blood stains.” The man's eyes widened upon hearing what E
• More Tears
Skyler jumped out of the car, “hey what are you doing to my mum!” She cried, running towards him. Irene was right behind her while Raul also got down and followed suit. Elizabeth raised her teary eyes to face her daughter who quickly pulled her up from the floor and hugged her. Skyler could see Desmond's driver holding a bag, presumably her mother's bag. Then he stepped out of the gate and then tossed the bag on the floor. This gesture angered Skyler so she lunged forward, managing to give the driver a good slap before Irene held her back.“How dare you bring your filthy selves to our house and try to harass my mother!?”Desmond smirked. “I can see that you haven't changed one bit, you still talk too much. This house belongs to me since your brother is dead now.”His words felt like a physical blow to Skyler. “Don't you dare ever say something like that again, Ethan isn't dead!”“Oh but he is, haven't you seen the news?”Irene walked forward. “Even if Ethan is dead, what makes you
• Ethan Remembers
Valerie was on a stretcher and right beside her was Antonio. They were both bleeding out and were rushed to the emergency unit. Just outside the hospital was Melissa, along with Jax, Kieth and Lucy. After Antoni had been shot, his men surrendered, and the police came and cleared the crime scene, making multiple arrests as well as ransacking Antonio’s mansion, an opportunity the local FBI had been dying to get. The three lieutenants were spared from the arrest because the chief of police, who despite recognising what they did as illegal, was happy that they had helped bust Antonio. Now with the overwhelming amount of evidence they had against him, there was no way he could escape jail time. In the emergency room, the nurses huddled around each of the victims. Antonio's wound was to his upper back but the bullet went through and came out of his chest. While Valerie was in the stomach. “We’re losing him, we’re losing him!” The doctor screamed as the life support machine beeped loudly.
