Shattered Into Ash

Shattered Into Agreements

Ames:

Now let me ask myself one question before everything breaks down and I end up with a dead body just inches away from me, and I was the one who put it there.

How does a handsome young man, a Zodiac, who was constantly ignored by his fellow brothers and sisters, could be dropped in the middle of any fight, then walk out without a scratch; become the one to single handedly lead the Malison troops to victory?

This same boy who lead the troops through Francium when their old commanded gave up, went across the galaxy, nothing could stop him. He was amazing, barely had any chest hair.

Everyday his brothers told him "No." They said he couldn't lead, couldn't take a stand or choose a side. He struggles to keep his chin held up high, inside he was tired of hearing the same lies.

Guess the word got around, someone told Aspen: This kid is freakin amazing! Wasn't very long till the word got to the big man. Everyone else banned me from their troops, but the galaxy will know and fear my name!

I am Ames Pieces Zodiac!

Luke STARed me one summer day, very late. I heard my computer ring. Luke's name flashed across the screen, I jumped from my bed to answer the call. I begged that he had finally considered me. The call connected to the pride of the Zodiac family, then I saw my brothers face, I was connected to Luke!

"Ames." Luke got right to the point. "There is a delay, with getting our troops to the right place. We were a day late to our battle, Oberon won that fight."

"What's the problem?" I ask, eager to help. "How can I help?"

"There was a comet." Luke explained. "Went through a black hole and brought out a bunch of dust from a nebula. There is glacial dog and I can't get it out of our way."

"Do you need someone with a light?" I hinted at my win power and how it could be of use.

"Can I be real with you here?"

"Of course."

"Oh my gosh, I need to tell you how stressful it is on the Francium base. I'm the model all of the universe is looking up to, every child wants to be like Luke Zodiac. I have everyone out there trying to clear the fog away, I can do this alone. The fog is right in our faces and our battle is going to be doomed!"

"Luke-"

"You don't understand the half of it." Luke continues. "Any hope of winning is war is gone. How can I keep leading our troops if we can't see where we are going or who we are fighting with?"

"Luke what about-"

"We barely made it out as Oberon took our Jopra base. This has been the toughest choice I have ever made. But the fog is thick and we need to get past this very quick. I am going to need a new general."

"Luke do you mean me?"

"Ames I plan on leading my troops through the fog tonight." Luke looks me in the eyes. "I can not travel if I can't see where I am going. I am in need of assistance."

"Have I don't something wrong?"

"No, actually I called you here for just the opposite reason for that. Don't get me wrong, I have over half my solider requesting you to lead them over Azun, but why are you upset?"

"I'm not." I change my face into a grin. "I just want to fight."

"I know." Luke smiles. "I was exactly like you when I was a bit younger. Your head is full of dream of you fighting, I am wrong?"

"No."

"Fighting is easy." Luke states like gospel. "It's leading the war that will be way more harder."

"Are you asking me if-"

"Yes." Luke chuckles. "Ames I need you to be on the fighting grounds with me."

"Of course!" I shout, cupping my hands over my mouth.

No way am I throwing away this once in a lifetime shot so someone else can take it. They need my light and they can use it. I am useful. It is a lower position then what Azun was offered but I don't care. Drop my murder of Azun and ever grudge I hold against him. Ames is rising to the top! I don't care what Azun does at this point as long as I can get a thumbs up from Luke!

"Thank you!" I shout before Luke hangs up.

He send me and the rest of my family a message immediately after.

I order all eight of you that are in this message to report immediately to Francium base to fight on the training grounds.
You will each be a General of a section, Ames will light our way through the fog.
You will all fight on the front line or else I am telling Dad.

Oh snap. Haha! You can't get out of this one Azun! But he mentioned my name! Ahh! I can do so many things now that Luke has placed me here. I can lead the troops through the fog, keeping us out of the enemies hands.

I will be the leader!
