Defenders of the Universe - SU/VLD (Adopted by jorge.Fuentes18)

Chapter 21: Beginnings

It was a time long before the rise of the Galra Empire, back when it was known as the Empire of Daibazaal. It was one of the five most powerful factions in the known universe; alongside the Kingdoms of Altea, the Dalterion Dominion, the Mer Kingdoms of Nalquod, and the Rygnirathian Tribes. All were ruled by their respected rulers; Emperor Zarkon, King Alfor, Empress Trigel, King Blaytz, and Chieftain Gyrgan. A young King Alfor had sought to unite these factions together so they may prosper in harmony; defending not only their home galaxies but the entire universe from whatever may threaten it. This alliance lasted for many years, but it would all change on one fateful day.

"The Beasts of Mutradd are worthy of holding the title for the most feared creature in the universe." A young Alfor stated as he slew two more of the invading creatures with his broadsword. "But not even they are a match for our combined strengths."

Zarkon had called for the aid of his allies when the Mutraddi attacked one of his planets. The Mutraddi are large, four-legged creatures with six eyes that come in a diversity of shapes and sizes. Due to their simplistic, animal-like nature, most species believe them to just be "dumb animals," when in fact, they are smarter than they appear; discovering a way to traverse the stars and land on other planets without the need for a spaceship.

"Do not get cocky, Alfor." A young Zarkon told his ally as he slammed his mace on one of the Mutraddi's heads. "There are still more of them to deal with!"

"Well I say, BRING IT ON!" Gyrgan shouted as he swung his large, two-handed ax across the battlefield. Gyrgan was a large, humanoid bear-like creature that towered over Zarkon and Alfor and was garbed in tribal attire. "In the name of Willow, you shall fall!"

"Still overdramatic as ever; aren't you Gyrgan." Blaytz overconfidently stated as the merman smacked his spear against the heads of two beasts at once. While the mer-people of Nalquod choose to remain in the water; they can transform their fins into legs and walk around the surface. He had blue skin wore bright orange clothes that heavily contrasted it. But as the merman continued to brag; he was utterly unaware of the large Mutraddi that was about to crush him behind. Or, it would've it Trigel hadn't incapacitated it.

"And that's the seventh time I've saved your overconfident rear." Trigel politely, yet sarcastically said to Blaytz; who blushed in embarrassment. He hates it when she keeps track. Trigel was a tall, slender Dalterion; a subspecies of Olkari. She had all the similar features to a female Olkari with some slight differences around the head; like horns. Trigel was a pacifist and refused to use a weapon no matter the situation; but she makes up for it with her knowledge of pressure point combat, which instantly cripples an enemy.

"Stay focused everyone, and the battle will be ours!" Zarkon ordered as he leads the final charge against the invading Mutraddi.

After several more grueling hours of combat, the Beasts of Mutraddi were finally subdued. Under Alfor's request, the creatures where taken back to their home planet by Altean cruisers; where they'll hopefully stay away from the Alliance's space from now on.

"A toast, to our victory! And to our alliance!" Zarkon proudly shouted in the dining room of Castle Doom.

"Here, here!" All five Alliance leaders proudly shouted as they stood from their chairs to clink their wine glasses together with respect.

"And to our long-lasting friendship!" Alfor added in.
