The Peacekeepers

Chapter 2:Assembling

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. Once they were cleared up, I lifted my head and all I could see was my little sister floating above my head yelling "It's time to train!"
My name is Rex and I wake up at 4:30am because of a promise I made to my father, Superior, who was the greatest hero to ever live. I promised him when he died I would his place as the world's greatest hero. My little sister Mikayla, on the other hand, only has one power, the ability to fly, so she helps me train everyday. But today, she is going out with her boyfriend Ajax so training will be cut a little short. I've been friends with Ajax since elementary school and used to fly him to school every day to the chagrin of the other kids.
Those were much simpler days, but today after a little weight lifting I'm taking them to Europe for a romantic date. I'm not sure why they want to go to Europe, I've never been much of a fan, but to each their own. "Ok sis, add 300 pounds, this is nothing." I tell her, flexing and stretching my arms.
"Rex you know you're the only one in the gym with that kinda muscle, you don't have to prove anything to anyone here." Mikayla scolds, shaking her head.
"Hold up, what do you mean he's the only one with that kinda muscle? I got muscle too, its almost like i got super strength too." Ajax exclaims with bravado in his smile.
"Oh shut up, I'm done lifting, let's just go." I yell, slamming the weights against the rack.
"Go where?" Mikayla asks befuddled.
"To Europe, you duck." I tell her. Sometimes I wonder how long she even remembers things
before they immediately escape her brain.
"Ohhh, alright alright, let's get to flying smart ass." I could feel her eye roll from her without
even looking.
"Up,up,and away." I laugh, getting in my best Superman pose.
"Really nigga." She huffs.
"Yes, now climb on." I say, slightly amused by her annoyance. As we fly over the Atlantic,
we spot a cave with a strange glow emanating from it. Without much hesitation, we go to investigate. We landed on the sandy beach of the small island, the coastal air blowing through my hair as my feet sunk into the sand. The lights coming out of the cave are a swirl of blue and red. This is particularly strange because we are nowhere near the mainland. We cautiously walk into the cave and are in shock to see two dragons sitting in the back, one ice blue and the other as red as fire.
They look over at us and without a word a strange light begins to shine from them and the same light is reflected on Ajax and Mikayla. They both look at each other and then begin to look to me for answers. I have no idea what to do and continue to stand in shock.
Suddenly, they both have power coursing through them as their veins begin to glow and their muscles grow in size. Ajax and Mikayla are imbued with superpowers and shining tattoos appear on their forearms. They both look back at the dragons in shock and ask the dragons why they were given such power.
"We will soon die and we need pure hearted beings to protect the earth as we have for millennia." They both responded in unison. A sudden seriousness came from them both that I hadn't ever seen before.
"I shall use this power to protect the place I call home." Ajax proclaimed.
"What he said." Mikayla said, not able to find words of her own.
"Ok, let's get outta here now, this cave is about to collapse!" I exclaim as the walls begin to
shake and rocks start falling all around. I grab Mikayla and Ajax and we fly home. We spend the

next few days testing to figure out what powers they have. Our lives have changed forever, and together we are now
THE PEACEKEEPERS.
