The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Flat Tire
Leilani's panic began to grow. Her heart was beating faster and she placed her arms on her waist, straining her eyes to see if she could catch a glimpse of Keith or anyone that looked like him.She covered her mouth with her palms and then exhaled. What if the worst had happened? Would she just go ahead without him? She couldn't. It's not like she would even know her way around.Her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts when her daughter looked ahead. “Daddy!” She exclaimed and then rushed forward. Leilani tried to reach out and grab her daughter but she wasn't quick enough. She was about to open her mouth and reprimand her daughter for just running off like that when she raised her head and saw him.Relief washed over her as she was to hug him. “What happened? Why did you take so long? I was scared, I thought something had happened to you.”“The taxi that I was in had a flat tire.”He recalled how they were driving when a sudden pop sound resonated in the air. The driver instantl
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Best Time To Strike
Trevor cracked his eyes open, he was lying down on a bed in a dimly lit room. His head instantly began to spin as he tried to sit upright, making him lie back down. He pressed his temples with his hands and his face twisted. “Ugh… where am I? What happened?” He said in a dry voice. “The doctor tried to escape.”Remembrance flashed within his mind. “That stupid doctor! I knew he was up to something. We shouldn't have trusted him. Where is he now? Did he escape?”The man standing beside him shook his head slowly. “He tried to steal the speedboat but I shot at it and it exploded. There was no way he would survive that. The whole thing went in flames.”He got up on his feet, trying to fight the effect of gravity. “So where's his body?” “We didn't find a body, he must have burnt to a crisp or something.”Trevor grabbed his collar tightly, pinning him against the wall. “You fools! The speed boat exploded in the water, you couldn't find a body and you think he's dead?”From the entrance,
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Nightmares
“Ethan?! Ethan!” She called out, her voice echoed in the empty space, bouncing off the walls. She was standing in what seemed like a hallway, an empty one. She turned her head around, adrenaline rushing through her veins she searched for him. A white fog began to form, covering the ground for as much as you could see. It began to envelope her legs too and soon the whole hallway was bathed in fog, she couldn't see a thing. She turned around, face twisted in confusion. “What? What is this? What's going on?” She said, mostly to herself. When she raised her head, she caught a glimpse of the darkened outline on a man standing in the distance. “Ethan!” She cried and then began running towards him. The clicking of her heels against the floor filled the air as she got closer to him. She leaped forward, expecting to crash into his frame but she simply phased through him and fell to the ground, landing on all fours. A grunt escaped from her lips. She turned back, looking over her shoulder
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • You're The Legion Commander
There was a thud as Bruno slammed the wad of cash against the table top. “I counted everything, it's a complete 4000.”Ethan nodded. “Take the money and help your family, you're free from Cyrus now.”He didn't need to be told twice. As he was about to walk out the door, he paused. “You know you're going on an extremely dangerous mission right? Cyrus is not one to be messed with, especially if you're going to be working directly into his domain.”Ethan smiled lightly, “Oh don't worry about me, worry about him.”With that Bruno was on his way, leaving Ethan in the safe house. He called Natasha. “It's about time, I didn't hear from you in a while and I actually started to think something had happened. Valerie has been calling, she's worried,” Natasha reported to him. He heaved a deep breath. “The next time she calls, tell her that I am okay and I'll soon be home.”“That's what I've been telling her, she wants to hear it from you. I think she wants to speak with you.”“That won't be po
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Darren Hart In Chelmen
Valerie made her way through the sea of people, stopping in front of the unconscious man who was barely breathing. She squinted her eyes as she looked at his familiar features. “Valerie,” Monica called out as she struggled to pave her way through the shoulders blocking her. “I know this man, he's the doctor that treated Skyler,” Valerie whispered under her breath. Her friend was completely oblivious to what she was saying and just stood there, confused.“Somebody, help! Get the paramedics!” Valerie instructed, getting down on her knees and holding his head. She pressed her ears against his chest to check if he was still alive. Eventually, she could detect a faint pulse which translated to the fact that he was alive. With her palms on his chest she began pumping, doing chest compressions. She was counting under her breath, forcing air into him through his mouth. His body jerked as he let out a cough, his chest rising and falling irregularly. Water sputtered out of his mouth like a
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Exception To The Rule
Adrenaline surged through Ethan when he heard those words. His identity had been blown. He sprung to his feet, landing a powerful punch against the officer's nose. A sickening crunch indicating that his nose was broken sounded. The other three officers in the background immediately took to defense and charged at Ethan. However his military training surpassed their police training and he was able to weave and dodge most of the attacks, remaining untouched. He kicked one of them in the torso, sending him flying off the ground as his back slammed against the door. The few people that were in this coach gasped in surprise, grabbing their personal items and scrambling away. Ethan grabbed one of the officers heads and hurled him against the inner walls of the train, knocking him into an unconscious state. “You're going to regret this,” one of the men said, reaching for his gun. Before he could fully pull out the gun, Ethan had lunged forward, his knee colliding with his opponent's ri
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Back To Armoria
Leilani was holding her breath in the women's side of the airplane toilet. Earlier when she had seen the police approaching, she grabbed her two kids and rushed to the toilet while Keith remained on the seat. Her heart was in her mouth as she pressed herself against the tiny door with the two children on each of her sides. Outside Keith was trying to act natural, sitting on the chair but facing the window so they wouldn't get a good look at his face. The officers moved past him and were heading towards the toilet. Now his mind had begun to race for Leilani. Thankfully however the air hostess approached the officers. “I'm sorry but you will need to excuse us because the plane is about to take off, I'm sure you've done your search and you clearly didn't find the person you were looking for,” she said to them in a polite but strict voice. Accepting defeat, the men turned around. “Come on, let's go, they may still be somewhere in the airport.” When Keith heard these words, he almos
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Shattering Into Bits
Her breath got stuck in her throat when she saw the man. She stumbled backwards, fear gripping her. “Who the hell are you?” She voiced in a shaky voice. He took off his hoodie, revealing a face she had never seen before. “My boss sent me to you.”She twisted her head around and realized that she was in a lonely street with men that she wasn't out of danger yet.“What? Who's your boss? Why did he send you?” She asked, taking small steps backwards as she slowly began reaching into her purse for a pen knife. His Stoic facial expression was a giveaway to the fact that he was unfazed by whatever she was trying to pull out from her bag. “My boss is a very important man here in Chelmen, he wants you.”Valerie knew that this country was the hub of human trafficking and sex work but she never knew that somebody would approach her like this in face to face , attempting to recruit her. “Tell your boss I'm not interested, I'm married.”He arched an eyebrow and glared at her fingers. “I don't

• 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

“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.
