In the solar system known as veiger alpha 5 a small planet lies. The plant is called Flouria. It is almost non existent on most star maps and hasn't even left the age of muskets and swords. The dominant race are known as Vora. They have small retractable claws and only four fingers. Their bodies are tall, lanky, and covered with fur. They tend to have huge brightly coloured eyes.

ON THE PLANET

In the local tavern child held drinks in his hands, passing them from table to table. Everything was normal, people were drinking and talking, they sang merry tunes laughed joyfully. Until the door opened and thunder cracked. A hooded figure waited in the door until he finally walked inside. The room went quiet as he walked to the bar and sat on a stool. The man was shorter than the usual visitor. He sat still for some time. And then he spoke.

"Don't stop your fun on account of me, carry on!" And with that the silence broke. The kid previously waiting on tables ran up to the figure with a look of excitement on his face. Just then the bar tender came up to the man.

"What can I get you good sir?" The stranger rested his arms on the bar table in a lazy way and looked at the bartender revealing pure big pure blue glowing eyes and toothless white face.

"Just looking for a nice place to relax." His voice sounded young but had a static echo. The boy still stunned studied the strangers arm. It was white with a robotic interior. A faded blue glow came from lines in his arm. The arm itself was was beat up and rather destroyed.

"Heo! No staring at the costumers. It's rude."

"Yes uncle Garu." Heo slouched over in disappointment.

"Sorry 'bout him," the bartender apologized shaking his head. "I'm babysitting for my sister and he likes to stick his nose where it doesn't belong."

"It's ok," The stranger reassured. "I got used to that long time ago, besides I'm not exactly from here."

Heos face lit up with curiosity.

"So where you from Mr.?" The stranger rubbed his hand over his chin in thought of how to answer the question. Heo noticed that the man had only three fingers.

"Well, somewhere far from here. And call me Ace." The joy in the bar was interrupted once more when a high pitched scream ran through the streets. Ace's eyes widened. 

"Heo, get behind the bar." Garu said this in a dead gruff voice. Heo did this without hesitation.

"What's going on?! Who was that?!" Ace demanded the bartender answer.

"You really aren't from here are you.? That scream was some unlucky person who most likely looked old Jart the wrong way. You see, this town is pretty peaceful few guns and no real fighters. So that makes it vulnerable to people like Jart. He comes in about three times a month a takes whatever he wants." That sat with ace the wrong way. He stood up from the stool, thanked the bartender and walked to the door.

"Your not thinking of going out there in that whether with Jart out there are you?" One of the patrons asked. Ace turned his head and looked out at the man with one eye.

"Nope. I'm going out there to fight him. Heo. You wanted to see what I am, well come watch." With that he walked out into the street. Heo stared at the door and then ran for it followed everyone else.

Outside, Ace stood about ten yards away from Jart. Jart stood, four feet taller than Ace. He had albino white hair and one pure red eye. The other eye was covered by a scar that cracked downed from his forehead to his chin. Three other men joined Jart by his side, wearing grins of pure bloodlust. Jart himself wore a fearsome scowl.

"Why do you stand in my way puny man? That seems to be the number one cause of death here." Ace stood silent still covered by his dark cloak. 

"Silent huh? So you must think of some sort tough guy. I've fought the deadliest animals on the planet and you think you have the right to think yourself so much better than me that you don't have to speak!"

"Heh heh, Ha ha ha ha ha!" Ace laughed at what Jart had just said.

"Kid, I've been to war with only three others by my side and won. I have killed tyrants and crumbled empires. I once fought to the death with V.I.R.U.S. one of is not the biggest threat to the universe and I'm still standing. If anything you should be terrified of me." With that last line the smiles disappeared from the grunts faces and Ace ripped off his cloak.

His head  curved back with blue lines following down his spine and onto his arms. His torso was human like with cracks and fractures. His legs jointed weirdly and his feet had a talon like build with only three toes.

"You see centuries ago, my escape pod malfunctioned and I was stuck here with all these wounds on a planet without technology so fighting you might be hard but you knowing that you got beat by a guy who didn't even half try will be satisfying." 

The three men charged at him. The first one went to punch Ace but he caught his arm, cracked it, and threw him on his back. The next triped Ace tried to stomp on his chest. But Ace grabbed his leg, twisted it, and a small gun came from his wrist and shot an electric pin in his neck. The final third one punched Ace in his  chest but his hand throbbed with pain and he touched over clutching it in the over. Ace took this chance and elbowed his spine. The only one left was Jart. He grunted and ran at Ace, punching him so that he was launched into a pillar. Ace treid to stand back up when Jart picked him up and threw him in the ground. Jart placed his foot on Aces chest and and raised it high, preparing to to squash Ace. Ace looked around him at the people, they had fear in their eyes. Ace felt a wave of rage flow over him. He wanted to win, he needed to win! Ace gave a shout and a blue blast of light exploded from him. The blast knocked Jart off of Ace, leaving a crater where he once stood. Ace stood up out of the hole completely repaired. He looked at Jart with killing intention. His chest slowly opened to reveal a blue light. It got brighter and brighter. Jarts eyes widened as he tried to crawl away from Ace. Ace looked at him and said one word.

"Bye." With that the light shot out into a laser that evaporated Jart before he could even scream. After it was done they couldn't even see the end of the trail it had burned on its way. Ace looked at the people and walked towards him. Most backed away  from him as he came close. He fell to one knee when he goto to Heo. He then placed hi sis hand on his shoulder and said.

"Too bad you won't get to see me at my full power. Keep this place safe for me kid." He reached onto his back and pulled out the hilt of a sword. He handed it to Heo and a blue blade expanded out of it. 

"Careful, I've taken down legions with that thing." With that he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Heo shouted, "Wha-who are you?"

Ace looked at him and said.

"A guardian." And with that left.
