The Sentinel of Earth.

The truth can sometimes hurt.

                        Deep within the rubble of a now demolished cabin, Col. Rankin's limp dead frame lay buried beneath. Daniel took to the sky in a sonic boom, trying to escape the tragic truths about his past. Rankin's words were like a destructive oncoming avalanche, coming down on him. His mother and father deliberately murdered, how he was strategically placed in the heart of the great blast. Everything was planned, even guiding him into his role as the surviving son of Millennium City. He believed he was special. He believed that fate had smiled upon him, and had given him his great metahuman abilities. In a strange obscure reality, he was a lab rat, selected to do it. All he wanted to do at this point, was put an end to it once and for all.

            By the time Jones, Mia, and the rest of the present members of Alpha Force had arrived at the scene, Dexter and the now mutated Grafter were gone. There were no energy signatures to follow up on, nor good eye-witnesses to question.  The bystanders were just glad to see the great beast gone. "Now what do we do," Mia asked. "Easy child, we will find him." You needn't worry." Kiyanna said trying to comfort her. "We need Delta Wolf for this one." " she could pick up  Dexter's scent easy," Trick-shot said. "Yeah, she could, but she's somewhere in the middle east on a mission ain't she? " Gideon replied. They were short of all the team members who could possibly get this job done. There was Stealth, the female cybernetic assassin, whom Kiyanna only tolerated, but only because of she and William's history with Arch Angel league, Velocitor,  the speedster, and the overdramatic Dr. Magi the matter altering mutant illusionist. "Damn"! William said in frustration. "Well, what's our next move?"  "Do we just  stand here and do nothing !" We have to find Dex ." Just as  William was about to respond, another warning had come over the com system. Trick shot immediately ran back to the bridge of their quin jet, and what he saw on the screen almost made him sick to his stomach. "Oh my God." Not him. Pinnacle was trying his best to bring down city hall. He made his way back to the team." We've got a bigger issue,  Pinnacle is trying to destroy city hall." At this point, while everything would seem to be caving in on them, Jones was picking up a familiar sound. He looked to the sky, and there he saw his saving grace.  Three other Sentinels were about land directly in front of them. All Jones could think to himself was the game changer has just arrived. 

                           Each of the three Sentinels wore the same uniform as Dexter, however, each of them had a different shaped Quantum symbol. resting in their chest and foreheads. You could tell that they were different species from the uncovered sections of their faces. The Sentinel from sector  21564, Quag's skin resembled dried white ground. The Sentinel from sector  24432 was huge and had pale green skin with a thin slit from the bottom of his lower lip and continued down and under his chin. He was called Druueg, The third Sentinel was a female her skin tone was a pale light brown, Her name was Zurah. she was from sector 22264. "We received a distress signal, Where is Dexter drake the Sentinel of the earth?"Quag asked. Everyone was in total awe of the three visitors showing up. "How did you know Dexter was in trouble? "  Kiyanna asked. "Whenever a Sentinel is in immediate danger,  a distress signal is sent throughout the universe, that is why we are here," Quag replied. "That is why we have come to your world, to aide the Sentinel of the earth. Zurah continued. 

                 Grafter had made it back to his headquarters/ command center with an unconscious Dexter. Although he had reverted back to his human form, Grafter was going to do everything in his power to take back the Quantum badge, one way or another. He had secured Dexter on a steel wide plank and began his retrieval process for dexters badge. Dexter was beginning to regain consciousness. "What are you doing Grafter?" Get me off of this thing. " Dexter Wanted to break the metal bands holding him to the metal plank but couldn't. He had nothing left strength wise. "The great Sentinel,  today is the day of your demise." Soon all of your cosmic power will be mines. "Where did you get the new abilities Grafter, you most certainly could've created them yourself."  "It almost looks alien." "HeH, funny you should ask Drake." You are correct, my new abilities are alien, thanks to my new ally Seth Vaal. I'm sure you've heard of him."  "He most certainly knows you!" "HEH HEH HEH HEH! " That's it keep talking Dexter thought to himself. He recalled something Jones had mention to him, his alien technology was regenerating, and it wouldn't be long before he'd be back to his normal Sentinel self again. However, would he be able to do it before Grafter had finished his retrieval process?
