The depths of space were all that could be seen on this night. Just as all other nights. But in the far reaches of space there was a huge spaceship cruising through the empty space. Similar to a cruise ship on the ocean. On the bridge of the ship there was a woman sitting in a chair impatiently. She had a red pupil. Hidden behind her hair was an eye that was beyond repair. She wore a purple uniform that came up to her chest and stopped. Leaving her arms and upper chest exposed. She wore long black boots and had a choker that had some sort of bead on it. Her hair was long and came down into two separated braids. She looked into space longingly. Another person walked up behind her. He was short and had a long black scarf that was almost dragging on the ground. He wore a plain black shirt and wore armor over this shirt. The armor had a gold black and purple design on it. He had golden shoulder guards and had long black pants with legguards.
???: General Yuri. You seem distressed. What's the matter?
Yuri: I've been so bored. Haven't you?
???: Yeah. There's been no planets in sight. Why is that?
Yuri: You are really a silly one Dradado. We are headed to a cruiser that was stranded. We might find scraps.
Dradado: Haha! You are such a hoarder.
Yuri: There also have been so many planets with no real life. That's not a challenge! So we are going to a planet that has some real life. I have some new associates.
Dradado: Why is that? Aren't all of us enough?
Yuri: There is strength in numbers. And there are only 5 of us. This is not an elite team. We need much more than 5.
Dradado: That is true.
Yuri: Well. Here we are. Let us see what scraps we can find.
The ship docked a small vessel with lots of cargo falling out of it.
Dradado: Here, let me go and find the spoils for us. Don't strain yourself.
Yuri: I could do it myself but I suppose I could watch the fireworks. It's something better than simple dead space all the time.
Dradado: I won't let you down.
Yuri: Of course you wouldn't.
Dradado turned around and walked out the bridge door. He went through a long hallway that led into the vessel. He started walking around the ship. There were two men who looked unconscious. He walked over to one who had some sort of superhero suit on. The other looked like a pilot. He had a space suit on. The man opened his eyes and grabbed Dradado by the scruff and pushed him against a wall.
Dradado: Who dares-
Dradado punched the man in the face and he went flying into the wall of the ship.
???: This might get ugly.
The man flew over to the other person who was unconscious.
???: Your fine. They're here.
Dradado grabbed the man by the back of the neck and threw him out the window of the ship.
???: Couldn't you just come quietly? We really don't want to hurt you!
Dradado: I'm not too sure about that. You will be punished for trying to trick me and general Yuri!
???: Your general is corrupt! This is your last chance to come quietly.
Dradado: Tell me your name before I kill you.
???: My name is James Wilson. But you can call me Mr. Untouchable.
Dradado: haha! Mr. Untouchable?! That name is stupid as hell!
James: Well what kind of name is Dradado?
Dradado: It's foreign for kicking your ass!
James: We will see about that.
A purple and black aura surrounded Dradado and he began to fly. James flew up and went for a punch. Dradado dodged and shot an energy blast at James. He shook it off and picked up the smaller vessel and threw it at Dradado.
Dradado: You're crazy!
Dradado raised his hand to destroy the vessel but it blew up in his face. He went flying back but he regained his ground and kicked a bunch of debris at James. James punched all of the debris back at Dradado. Who was hit by all but a couple. James flew up and punched Dradado down. James flew after him and punched him once in the stomach and another time in the face. Dradado blocked the second punch and punched James in the lungs and kneed him in the stomach. Dradado flew upwards and made a huge energy blast to shoot at James. But he looked over and saw that the pilot of the vessel had been floating away. Dradado readjusted the blast and shot it at the helpless pilot. James looked over and flew as fast as he could and saved the pilot at the last minute. James flew off towards a big planet. Earth.

James landed on the surface of earth. He laid the pilot down. James checked his pulse. He was unconscious. James felt his tattered cape. He had a white uniform but with black coming down from his neck and fading down into a big U across his chest. He had green boots and gold gauntlets and a belt. He had short gray hair and a beard coming down across his jawline. A voice was heard through James' intercom.
James: Affirmative.
He took the pilot and flew off to a space station that was orbiting earth. He got to the base and saw many ships flying in and out. The station had lots of metal and blinking lights. There were lots of people talking and running around the bay. James let the pilot go off with the ER. James walked into another hallway and changed out of his uniform. He had a button down collar shirt and wore jeans and a regular belt. He also had newly acquired glasses. He walked into an office.
James: Hello Ms. Feria.
Ms. Feria: You can just call me Ashley. You are now a friend of B.L.A.D.E. Don't worry.
James: I'm sorry, it's just been so long since i've done this. You couldn't even drive when I retired.
Ashley smiled at James.
Ashley: Yes it is funny. I will admit. Either way. How did the assignment go?
James: We definitely lured them in. Don't you think we could've hurt people by luring Yuri here?
Ashley: She is a cosmic threat but B.L.A.D.E has been after her for years. She's destroyed planets! We must take her down!
James: That is why I was worried about pursuing her.
Ashley: If she wanted to destroy earth. She would've done it already. Either way we have a contingency plan.
James: I hope I don't regret coming out of retirement.
Ashley: You won't! What was her soldier's power like?
James: He was a challenge even for me. He probably would've worn me down. I can't even begin to imagine the power his boss hasâŚ
Ashley: That's what I thought. Yuri has a team of killers, the Magvacore.
James: A team? She has more?
Ashley: This is why we are putting together a team of our own. We need to get all these people together to at least try and beat Yuri. She controls the deep reaches of space and has destroyed countless planets and people's lives. You and the people we have chosen could save countless people's lives in the process.
The room darkened and people's faces appeared on a screen.
Ashley: These people have the right power levels and reputations. We need you to get them. It's the start of 2016. So I want you to go around and find our candidates in a year. Preferably less than that.
James: Don't you understand that these people have lives and they won't throw them away for your cause?
Ashley: Don't worry James. It is their choice whether to join or not. If they don't then so be it. We will find others.
James: Okay. I understand.
Ashley: I appreciate it. This is to take out a threat larger than life. I'll send their locations to your phone.
James hesitated but held out his hand to shake Ashley. They shook hands and as James took his hand out Ashley had left a tracker in his hand.
James: What is this?
Ashley: Trackers. Once you find the target that's on there then you just move onto the next.
James: Isn't that a bit intrusive?
Ashley: This is for the world and maybe even the universe. We don't care about personal space here.
James nodded hesitantly and walked out the door.
Ashley: Oh and also, I would slip into your costume. They'll be more enthralled to join!
James rolled his eyes and walked out the door.
James: I forgot there were also things I don��t like about this jobâŚ
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Yuri: James Wilson...I remember that name. He was a popular superhero on earth years ago when I joined. There is more to thisâŚ
Dradado: Yeah. Like this.
Dradado held up a piece of metal that said "Property of B.L.A.D.E"
Yuri: B.L.A.D.E. Are you serious?! I hate those people! They've ruined my operations many times.
Dradado: And they destroyed your home planetâŚ
Yuri: Yes. They did. If this James Wilson is working against me then he wouldn't have came at you without a plan. Especially if he is working with B.L.A.D.E.
Dradado: We'll take care of him.
Yuri: Yes. We must gather the rest of our forces. It's game on from now on.
Dradado: I like your enthusiasm!
Yuri: Yes of course. I think we play defensive for now.
