[b][i]In the 30th century, the galaxy is a crowded place. There are thousands of inhabited worlds and intelligent species, and very few of them get along with each other. Still, there are those who believe that a united galaxy is the best solution for everybody. One of those is R.J. Brande, one of the richest men in the galaxy. He pushed for a United Planets organization to handle conflicts between systems, and while he had some support, he also had a lot of resistance. There were some who opposed him so strongly that they wished him dead. One of these assassination attempts was in the presence of three teenagers, strangers to each other. The three youths worked together instantly, foiling the assassination and capturing the suspects. Brande saw in them the embodiment of all he had been working towards, and convinced them to follow in the footsteps of the great heroes of the 20th century. They wore costumes and used code names and became the Legion of Super-Heroes. But recently the genius of their group, Brainiac 5, turned traitor and snapped like the other Brainiacs before him who often fought with Superman in the past. His robotic side took over completely and he tried to destroy the Legion. Only three of them remain to rise from the ashes with a new team of heroes to stop Brainiac 5.[/i][/b] ------------------------------------------------ Rules: 1.) No back-to-back posting. 2.)

My name is Rokk Krinn, code-name Cosmic Boy. It's been seventeen days since Brainiac 5 turned traitor and destroyed the most of the Legion. Now its just me, Dream Boy, and a somewhat crippled Dawnstar after her left wing was badly hurt. She can still fly, but not without the help of her flight ring. The new recruits have been here at the Legion Academy a little more than a week, many of them show potential. Our other HQ was destroyed in the fight with the machine formerly known as Querl Dox [Brainiac 5], so the remaining three Legionnaires have set up shop here at the Academy as well." Cosmic Boy walked through the hallways of the Academy with his hands behind his back like a gentleman. Arguably the most respected member of the old guard, he was one of the original three founders. Dream Boy however meditated quietly and alone in his personal quarters. Both Legionnaires share the guilt of not taking down Brainiac 5 sooner, and the rest of the Legion paid for it. Most bodies were accounted for, others were still missing and presumed dead. The Coluan developed the technology for the original flight rings/translators and shut them down while the most of the team was in space. The new flight/translator rings work just as well, just with a different power source and more of a silver tint than gold.... [b]Across the galaxy, far far away...[/b] Gears work and grind with the humanoid green flesh of the smartest Coluan in the universe. Possessing a 12th level intellect, Querl Dox never knew an equal. His machine side has completely taken over, and the biomechanical machinery all around him collects data from around the universe at insane speeds. "Cameras 4-1-6 through 4-1-9." the cold and now heartless machine spoke in a monotone. A hard light computer screen popped up in front of him. Images of the Academy began blinking off and on the screen. Brainiac 5 is dangerous, and he's keeping tabs on his former allies rebuilding the team from the ground up. [b]Back at the Academy, in Metropolis...[/b] The young man with long brown hair from the planet Cargg felt at home. Duron Arias was finally among peers, other teens with super powers looking for a home and a chance to do some good. The weekly allowance from the bank accounts of RJ Brande didn't hurt either. After his son, Chameleon Boy, was killed by the Coluan... Brande didn't hesitate to put all of his resources into a new Legion to take down the traitor. Duron walked out of the training room where holo-droids and a holo-chamber were located as well as a standard gym. He was only stepping in for a drink of water. Instead of splitting into his six individual selves he remained whole and tried to beat his top speed. The last week he's ran around the world several times. His top speed before splitting is roughly ten and a half hours around the Earth including running on water. He just sonic boomed coming through the lobby doorway and made it to the gym in seconds. Duron just finished running around the world in ten hours flat. He wiped the sweat from his brow but there was no wiping off the smile across his face... ~KL~
