Chapter One: A place for my head

  Int . Spaceship - Floating Through Space

  In a small room in the ship each of the sentinels are in their zones doing there own thing basically in their elements

  Elias he is in a small dimly lit room sitting at a steel table writing and reading, he's reading different poetry from across the universe. He reflects on his deceased friend Jackson and the echoes of the gunshot his father fired and was forever traumatized. As he sits there in the dimly lit room he crunches his fingers and takes deep breaths. After hours of reading and writing he leans back and drops the pen he shuts his eyes and goes into his own world.

  Elias closes his eyes his head tilts back towards the ceiling and activated his sorcery and magic as his hands fall free of tension little sparks of green lights appear around his hand as his consciousness falls into another realm. As his consciousness is slipping he gets flashbacks of him traveling around the universe to gain these traits, as he gets deeper in the dream his breathing hitches soon the formerly dimmed room is lit up fully with his green sorcery. His consciousness Skips to another realm as he gets to another past memory of him learning sorcery and he had to build a bridge and it was knocked down and it turned out the bridge never existed.

  The door opens and it is Jaded Garden standing there and he has his loose grey pants and white and black robe and his sword no where in sight as that is a strange and rare sight.

  Garden stands there with and eyebrow raised he slowly enters the room and he tries to wake Elias but he is deep in dreaming of a bridge being broken down and being built.

  Elias wakes

  After minutes of Garden worrying for his well being and waking him.

  Elias wakes up to Garden standing over him shaking him. He lifts his head and the lights from his sorcery lights go away.

  Garden: "it appears you've been here dreaming"

  Elias (smirking): "yeah ive been here doing something of the sorts"

  Garden (curiously): "what were you dreaming of that made you have that type of reaction?"

  Elias: "well those were my sorcery skills you see I traveled the universe to gain skills that'll help protect universe"

  Garden: "what's with the green sparks?"

  Elias: "I've learned sorcery in my days of training and I learned fighting styles in my training, like for instance I was trained by monks"

  Garden (caught off guard): "wait by monks of the jaded garden?"

  Elias: "yes"

  Jaded garden: "that's who I was raised by"

  Elias: "I kind of put that together you know your name is jaded garden and you know"

  Jaded: "what's with the sorcery, I never found out the appeal to sorcery as I rely on my mind to wield the sword instead of my body wielding the sword"

  Elias (shaking his head in understanding): "to me it was cool because another way I can protect the universe and delve into my mind just a bit deeper"

  Garden: "your mind? isn't the poetry enough?"

  Elias: "well there's always another form of discovery and you'd always want to seek the unknown right?"

  Elias stands up

  Garden: "yes but I believe that the most important way to tap into your soul is through action and philosophy"

  Elias smirks and places a hand on Gardens head

  Garden goes on a mind boggling adventure where first he goes to a underwater planet and then he goes to space and goes flying through the vastness of space and is touched a star and is burned as it exploded in his face he is sent back to right now. As he comes back he drops to his knees and his whole philosophy has changed on everything. As he thinks living in the moment is better than taking things for granted.

  Elias is forming his papers and going to the cockpit

  There we see Max who is drinking black coffee and leaning against the wall

  Elias sits down completely ignoring Max

  Max looks over slowly and glances at the papers (says in a gruff voice): "what do you have there some sort of space map?" He says in a low voice "well it seems our leader needs a guidance counselor"

  Elias who is still ignoring him looking over his poems

  Max: "let's face it you don't have a clue as to what you're doing creampuff you just want a team to fill a void in your heart so you can have some companionship"

  Elias lays his papers down and stands up and slow faces Max

  Max: "look who decide to play dress up and put on a tough guy persona for today"

  Elias stands there looking max up and down

  "Well since you're such a tough guy why don't you bring out those past military expertise for a second"

  Max (chuckles): "well this here is a moment we actually have our "leader" doing something useful. So creampuff let's go a few rounds and let's make them useful. Just so you know you better use all of your sorcery and you better hope I don't see red"

  Both men clench their fists

  The door to the cockpit opens a female figure stands there and firm and unopposed it's Zara

  She slowly but firmly walks into the room and scans the scenario

  Zara: "alright everyone let's go out down our little girl panties and let's put together a plan fellas we have a mission and i have a new one for you guys to keep you fellas entertained."

  Zara takes a few seconds to pull up a halo gram as Max and Elias sits down

  Zara: "there's this planet a global circus has come across and it is a guy by the name of Dr. Tomoko who was a former war doctor and he would help the sick to the point of where he made his own gas to help people now that has backfired the government on that planet took credit for his idea and he took that same gas and added a spice to it where it makes you see hullinaction and traps you in a dream like state."

  Zara pulls up the halo gram and shows people coughing and even dying from this gas

  Max: "Well take us there so we can kill the guy and get the mission accomplished"

  Elias: "woah easy i think we need to put together a plan of attack I think we need to speak with the higher ups and have them see what they can do"

  Zara: "well the government can't be trusted because they stole his idea and may be hiding some other stuff like highly classified languages and even some religious stuff from their folks"

  Elias thinks for moment

  Elias: "alright here's what we should do focus on the people and get the mission done which is saving the people and most important saving the planet"

  Zara agrees and she sits down putting the coordinates in and Max sits down and he does say a word because that tension is still there.

  Int- lab

  Alaura is in the room messing with halo grams and tech and she is using the halograms to put together a bracelet blaster she also has a few robots parts off on the side she doesn't say much in this moment as she is to locked in on what she has going on.

  The door opens and it is Luna and she scans the scenario and glances at the robot parts in the corner and scattered. She approaches slowly as she uses her spy skills to not make sound or to much.

  Luna (still slowly approaching): "well it seems you have a lot going on right now eh? Well that to me is a good thing and you should know that.

  Alaura who is still in her zone

  Luna: "so I suspect you haven't heard about the newest mission it pertains to something like a guy who made gas and he doesn't have much going on with his life so he kills people and drugs them or something like that."

  Alaura nods

  Luna: "see thats it you have to put your eyes and ears all over the place just to get a good conversation see I am the eyes and ears of this place"

  Luna exits the room but as she is leaving the room she turns around and says

  "You should put a silencer on that blaster!"

  Alaura: "yes that's it that's what I've been missing"

  Luna leaves the room as she is leaving she thinks I have so much to teach them from my years in the spy game

  She heads to the front cockpit and she sits and straps up as the ship is moving through space.

  Ext- space ship moving

  Fizz is working on the ship while listening to his tunes with headphones and in his own world he is working on the ships thruster and having fun in the process

  Chapter two: Stars full of Gas

  As the ship is moving to this unknown planet it almost as if the ship refuses to be slowed down

  The ship is full of diverse individuals and four of the six is in the cockpit and I discussing the plan

  The ship enters the atmosphere of this planet and as it lowers to the ground the smoke fills the air you can also hear coughs in the distance

  The ship touches the ground and the shuttle door opens.

  Alaura comes out of the lab last minute to give everyone space suits that are engineering by her and have almost everything you could ever ask like thermal heating, a GPS and weapons.

  She hands everyone a suit and everyone receiving one as that ship door opens

  Elias: "well Sentinels here we go time to make a difference"

  The team goes off the ship and around there's smoke filled air and sand below there feet. They all continue walking their footsteps sounding like a fingernail dragging along a wooden board.

  Fizz is the first to speak: "I think we should all take a moment to count the dead here folks and know what we are getting ourselves into"

  Max (turns back and chuckles): "counting the dead that's something Im to good at"

  Fizz looks in confusion and slight terror

  Elias speaks well I think we should gather our environments and really know what's around

  Zara: "he's right everyone we should all gather our environments and observe"

  They make rocky grounds as they stumble into a city that looks run down and and with rocky homes and wooden stairs

  As they are all walking by a rocky rundown home with plants in front jaded garden spot a family that is sick and he stops and comes over to them as the team keeps moving forward on without him. He goes into the household and hears a baby crying and comforts the baby and brushes the plants with his fingers and he waves at the people. He there and a smoke pellet comes flying through the window and blows up the house and jaded garden tries his best to protect the child at no point did it work.

  Jaded garden stands there with his blade drawn and he waves it looking for any on comers, he looks around and now he has blood all over his suit and falls into an underground layer.

  The other star Sentinels comes into the layer with him one by one they fly down with the help of the suits.

  Zara: "woah! Garden it looks like you've experienced something tragic"

  Gardens eyes drop and he looks at the blood on his clothes with his blade still drawn

  Elias to everyone "alright we're here in this layer and looking for dr. Tomoko and is in this layer somewhere i believe we should split into groups jaded garden you'll be with Max and Luna you'll be with you'll be with Alaura and myself fizz and Zara would be together"

  They all go into their separate ways

  Chapter three: dividends to pay

  As they all go in their directions and they make their way through the expansiveness of the cave what happens is they don't even hear each other's footsteps anymore.

  Fizz and Zara and Elias make there way to the east part of the layer and find stairs and when they are on the stairs they find that smoke is shutting them in and filing up their lungs elias begins to cough and he sits down he fades off into another realm of consciousness as he sees visions of his father speaking to him but also have visions of the monster that he was and the brutality he has caused. Elias also sees a vision of his deceased friend Jackson who he found in a death bag and sat up as he was investigating that creeped him out because he it took him back to when he was young man. Zara and fizz try waking him but to no matter. Zara then goes out as she collapsed on the staircase she sees visions of her on the battlefield a broken warrior and on her knees and exhausted with bloodied and men and women all around and she doesn't want to fight anymore but deep down she has to keep going for a better tomorrow. Fizz collapsed as well and he saw a vision of him on the peaceful planet and he woke up doing the same thing over and over and over.

  Int- Dr. tomoko layer West

  There's jaded garden and Max who are walking and jaded garden isnt saying much due to him just experiencing a child die at the hands of a monster blowing up a innocent families house now he has surpassed all mental barriers and just wants guy to die.

  They walk side by side and down a long black tunnel and then Max says something out of the blue

  Max: "so how does it feel to have blood all over your hands"

  Jaded garden: "well that's the thing our blood isn't the same you killed innocent people and I never have"

  Max expression drops he is haunting by those memories

  Max clenches his fist and jaded garden grips his sword their eyes are locked

  and smoke fills the tunnel and they begin to cough then they both collapse

  Jaded garden goes to a garden of him and meditating and he sees himself meditating and he sees someone sneaking behind to kill him and there's nothing he can do.

  Max goes back to that place when in dream ville he sees a village and he knows he has to kill the folks just to get paid a fortune but only to receive a lifetime of shame.

  Int- Dr tomoko layer North

  There is Luna and Alaura moving through the tunnel as if you can't even see them and they both find a large office underground where there's a desk and a stack of papers

  They enter the office and then they look around and Luna looks through the stack of papers and she sees that dr. Tomoko used to be a war doctor which she knows but also sees something like letter to him she opens the letters and smoke comes out and she passes out and Alaura passes out as well. When they are out Alaura sees a world where she and her robots roam free but at a cost because some aren't good. Some robots kill innocent people and want to end populations and travel the universe to do so all of her inventions become cruel and dangerous and emotionless.

  Luna passes out and she finds herself in her past trying on a building top and looking at the sky as the slight breeze passes by she knows the mission all to well because this mission changed her life and she hears some in her earpiece saying "now!" And she picks up her rocket launcher and shoots down the helicopter full of political figures. The burning helicopter goes spinning into a building and crashes and she watches as she helicopter crashes and runs away and hops buildings and and she lands on one tall building she snaps back to reality.

  They both wake up in the office and stand up and have memories of what they could and shouldn't become then they walk back to the center point of the layer with no emotion and confidence shaken each and every last one of them.

  Chapter four

  Int- underground Dr tomoko layer central part- afternoon

  After being spend hours in those nightmares the star sentinels are shells of themselves after viewing what they could and shouldn't become.

  In the central part of the layer stands Dr. Tomoko as he stands there with his arms behind his back and green skin and long black trench coat with a pair of shades we watches as the sentinels comes back with memories and visions of what shouldn't.

  Dr. Tomoko: it seems I have exploded the stars

  Dr. Tomoko chuckles a bit

  Jaded garden (says as he holds his head and staggers closes to him): "shut up you son of a bitch!"

  Dr tomoko: woah that's quite your style is it Mr garden

  Max (who also staggers but wearing off the effects of the memories): "yeah it's not his but it is mine "

  Max rolls up his sleeves and lunges at Dr tomoko, Dr tomoko putting a elbow to his rib cage and taking him out

  Dr tomoko moves with speed as he takes down all of the star sentinels one by one with quick jabs and punches to the face.

  As the team staggers up and make there way up Dr tomoko throws a pellet of smoke and he disappears.

  Half of the team throws a fit and Elias, Zara, Alaura, and fizz regroup and jaded garden throws his sword on the ground and his eyes go blank and Max kicks a wall

  Once it's all said said and done the team staggers it back to the runes of a society that they failed and they all look around and Zara says "oh Lord"

  She then takes a deep breath as this is the first time she's failed and has been forced to regroup like this.

  The team makes it a board the ship and fly into space and not a single word is uttered

  Meanwhile Dr tomoko is still underground and he takes off his trench coat and hangs it and shades he then hopes into a tube for himself and puts a timer on it and before he shuts the door he says "now" takes a few breaths and he says "they think they won well just wait until next time"

  He closes the tube and the timer starts ticking for when hes set to open it back up

  Deeper in the lab is other tunes and they are of other clones revealing there are more than just one type of gas and he is in process of making clones of not only himself but an entire army of people and political figures.
