Total darkness...

Or something like that...

You, in foetal position, tied to tubes and millions of high-tech machines, an artificial womb made to sustain your dying body. The only move you can do is to blink. All you can distinguish beyond the green thick liquid that surrounds you, are some shades. Probably scientists watching over your progress. That is  what happens when you are Blade Sentinel, the well-known superhero.


But things were not allways like that (What a cliche, you say to yourself). It all changed in one day... A day not so far away from this one...

You gather the last of your power, as you arise to ring the alarm. You barely make it, hitting the button and setting the alarm on. Torrenti smiles evily, as he sadistically shoot you in the left shoulder. The pain is intorable. Blood springs from the wound and you feel like going into another coma. Then Torenti raises the gun, touching it to your forehead. You now it is time to die. Images of your past life pass in front o your eyes.
But the door opens and RockHard rushes into the room. Torrenti freezes and so does the huge avenger. And then Vixen and The Crusader enter the room, both hurt by your previous encounters. Sabre enters too, and so do other members.
Torrenti is frozen. Sabre frozen too. It is time for you to speak. You utter: "Sabre... betrayed... you..." and cough. Sabre tries to explain the unexplainable, but RockHard stops his attempt with a demolishing punch, senting him through a wall. Then grabs Torrenti. Then you fade out.

You wake up in the familiar surgury. This time Vixen and RockHard are by your side. Vixen talks to you, apologising for all that happened. She tells Alpha Force would be glad to work with you. When you ask about Sabre and Torrenti, she tells you:" We decided to send them to Torrenti's friends with a note about their plan."



SOMEWHERE ELSE:

Torrenti: NO!!! You can't do this. We were allies... friends...
Mobster: You betrayed us and you will get what you diserve, Tony!
Torrenti: NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The newspaper has an article about the Alpha Force.
The article is like that:
"In the few past months, a group of Vigillantes, naming themselves the "Alpha Force" are cleansing the streets of our city of the criminals. Their work has made the life of citisents much safer. The city owes a big debt to this outstanding group of braved masked crime avengers.
The leader of this group is "Sabre", a man in a red suit, known for his extreme agility and the sword he uses. Another notorius member of the team is "The Crusader", a man whose uniform is full of crosses. In an interview he gave us recently, he admits he fights crimes because of his faith to God. Criminals fear the blasts this holy avenger shoots from the devices attached to his hands. And who hasn't heard of "RockHard", the mountain of muscles of the team. Even though many doubt he has the brains, the rest of the group members saim it isn't true. Since there is  equality of the sexes, we should mention "Vixen", a black clad lady with a love for throwing knives. Another important member is..."

As you reach for the hilt, the droid makes its move: Its mighty bionic arms come down, crushing the floor. Thanks to your reflexes you are still alive. But the hilt bounces outside of your reach. As you crawl for it,the droid raises its fists for the finishing strike. You look at it as you blindly stumble for the hilt... You know your end comes closer every instant passing. Your dreaded enemy launches against you once more, while you touch, then grasp the hilt.
Primordial energy runs through your palm, arm, your entire body. Pure force fills your heart with courrage. Courrage to fight your rival. From the hilt extends a blade of force. The same force that creates a light, flexible, almost elastic, yet extremely endurable and hard armor. You feel stronger both physically and emotionally. You are puzzled at what is happening to you, but there are many more important things to thing about now. Like the leathal fist that's heading to your head.

The Shark is going to pay for that, you say to yourself, as you watch the warehouse from above. The city is silent tonight. Or is it just you? No time for thinking, the time for action has come. Law won't protect the citizents. You would never admit it before, but deep inside, the back side of your head, you always knew it. Now it is time for some Justice to be done.
Alice Morgan  would never act like that, but the Blade Sentinel will. The Blade told you so. "I am here to help you bring Justice. I've chosen you to.". You give it another look to the Blade and take the courage to take the law to your hands. As you slide down the wall and gently land to the deserted street in the docks area, you can't stop but remembering the look (if you can call it that way) of the droid, as you choped off it's arm.

Back to your artificial womb, you linger in a state between life and death, consiousness and trance, past and present...
The world around you comes and goes, constantly coming, then again fading away...
The robes are hear talking to eachother. You can figure some words: "danger... stabilise... death... live...".
Soon the world around you fades away once more, sending you once more in the sweet, yet fatal torpor of unconsiousness.

As you reach for the statue, the birds on the fountain fly away. The noise they make break the silent air. The knight is an impressive figure, wearing a heavy armor and wielding a longsword. As you look closer, you realise that it looks much alike the Blade.
Suddenly a tap on your shoulder shocks you. You turn around, ready for a fight, when you realise it was a friendly man. The statue knight is before you in flesh and blood (And the metal of his armor). He wields the Blade in his right hand.
You try to speak, but you find your self at a loss for words. The man raises his eyes, your eyes looking at his. He speaks at you, his voice is clear and gentle:
- Wellcome Alice. Don't be afraid.
- Who are you? And what is this place?
- This... This is your subconsius... And I am your guide.
- My guide to what?
He stares at you for a moment, then answers.
- Your guide to your duty... Your duty as the Blade Sentinel.
- You sent me the Blade?
- The Blade sent itself to you. It allways chooses a champion to defend rightiousness. One at every age. You are a worthy champion. You just proved you have the wisdom to serve the Blade well. And now, you must go back and do what you have to do.
- But... But I have lost the Blade. How should I find it? And I am wounded. I stand no chance...
- You lost the hilt, not the Blade. The hilt is the focus. YOU are the Blade. Go back and do what you must. Now take this!
As he gives you the Blade, everything dims once more.
