The Legion Commander Strikes Back • 50/50 Chance
The slow beeping of the life support machine filled the air. Trevor stood there in the room, looming over Cyrus's unconscious body. The door clicked open and Darren walked in with more supplies. “When did you say he's going to wake up?” Trevor asked. “The moment the anesthesia wears off, probably in an hour or so.” The room fell into silence again. Darren made sure that he checked the drip and then he took his needle and was about to inject something into the drip bag. “What the heck do you think you're doing?” Trevor questioned him aggressively, making him freeze. A confused look spread across the doctor's face. “Um… it's going to help him wake up faster.” After injecting the drugs into Cyrus's drip bag, he began to pack the other supplies. “So you're saying Cyrus will be able to walk after all this?” Darren paused. “It's a 50/50 chance. And it's not going to be immediate.” Trevor's lips stretched into a thin line. He turned around and grabbed Darren by the collar, choki
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Bruised And Bleeding
They all raised their heads when they heard the knock on the door. Exchanging troubled looks with each other. If the police had found them, then it meant that they had no way of escaping since Bruno had left with the car when he escaped earlier. The only other option would be to attack the police officers which could land them in much worse trouble. Ethan slowly inched forward, gesturing with his hands so that the rest of them remained quiet and calm. He moved towards the window and grabbed the curtain, pulling it back so he could peep at who was at the door. To his surprise, he found out it was Bruno. There was a crease between his eyebrows as he opened the door gently. “There's cops all over the area, if I drove out of here they would spot me in the mouth of minutes on the road,” Bruno explained as he walked into the house. Keith had his gun trained at him from inside. Bruno raised his hand and then dropped the gun. “Here I am, I'm back. And this time you don't need to bother t
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Trying To Save A Friend
Chapter 137Irene, Skyler and Samantha were huddled around the phone. It was a short clip of Skyler picking up the chair and hitting Mason with it. Everybody was talking about it, she was being seen as a girl boss. “It must have taken some level of guts for you to be able to grab that chair and break it on Mason's back huh?” Sam asked. “Well, I was just trying to save a friend.”Irene didn't like the fact that a video like that was circling social media. “Hey, why does your friend look all gloomy?” Samantha pressed on. Skyler turned to face Irene then she shrugged, “I don't know.”“I'm not gloomy, I'm worried,” she corrected, her voice sounding irritated. “Imagine what Ethan would-” I really immediately stopped herself as soon as the words flew out, she covered her mouth with her palms. Samantha seemed to pick up on this and looked between the two of them. “So what exactly is going on? I think I'm left in the dark here.”“Nothing, she just made a mistake while she was speaking.” S
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Shower Of Bullets
Darren was practically praying that they were just walking by, his heart was in his mouth as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Their footsteps began to fade, Which means that they were probably just passing by. The sudden shrill of Trevor's phone ringing startled the doctor almost half to death. He snatched the phone from Trevor's pocket as quickly as he could and he ended the call. His heart was beating faster with each passing second. Did they hear the noise? Were they coming? His mind was racing with different thoughts. After a couple of seconds, he came to realize that the phone ringing didn't alert them and he heaved a sigh of relief. The anesthesia he gave Trevor would only last for about 45 minutes, he needed to make his move and leave this place now. He twisted the door knob and gently opened the door, peeping first to check if the coast was clear before he fully came out of the room. He trained his gun forward and made his way down the hallway. This being the first
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • I Won't Let Anything Separate Us
Ethan, Keith and Bruno paced around, their attempts to call Trevor were unsuccessful. “Do you think he knows? Perhaps he found out that Leilani and the children are no longer in the house,” the legion commander suggested. Bruno shook his head. “There's no way they would know, they don't really have so many men in Ivar. Me and the two guys who were killed were all they had here in Ivar. There will be nobody to help them confirm this.”Keith paced around. “Maybe they went on a mission or something or he's just not with his phone, we should try again later.”“No, Trevor is a very intelligent man. If he notices that all of a sudden we're calling constantly, he's going to get suspicious. Let him see the missed call and call back, we just have to be on standby.”They all nodded. The doorbell rang and Ethan slowly inched to the door, he peeped through the window to check who it was and then he opened the door. The man from earlier who had delivered the car, was standing in front of them wi
The Legion Commander Strikes Back • Test
Skyler grunted in frustration, kicking, punching and slapping the interiors of the elevator. “No! No no no! Not today! Ugh!” She cried in a frustrated tone. She took a peek at her wrist watch, she had about 5 minutes to get to class. “Help! Help! Somebody help!” She screamed from inside but it was as if the elevator was down. Eventually she sat down on the floor and cradled her knees to her chest. It was already bad enough that Mr Timothy had a bad impression of her the first time they met, now this was happening again for the second time. Her phone buzzed with a notification, indicating that someone sent her a text. She picked it up and opened it, realizing that it was Raul. “Mr. Tim just stepped into the class,” the text message read. She started tapping away on her phone screen. “I know, I should have been there already but I am stuck in the elevator in the science building,” she responded. “Oh my gosh, I'm sorry? I'm coming.”Her eyes widened when she saw the message. “No, d
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 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.
