The story so far -
My name is Ryan Alester. For the longest time I was a lonely introvert who couldn't even look at a pair of dumbells without collapsing out of exhaustion. Every day I shut myself away from the world to look for my dad. One day, while my mom was out of town, my brothers Jason and Zack and I bought a strange souvenir from a garage sale. I only agreed to it when I was told it was a war weapon. Upon accidentally activating it, we did what any normal person would do - we paraded around town pranking people using a laser that shot out of it.
Eventually some sense was knocked into us by professional ninja turtles (beacuse they hung out in an underground space plane hangar) Sam and Alex - Zack's basketball buddies. We traced its source and as we were doing that, Jason got kidnapped by a toaster (long story). Then we formed some kind of crazy last second plan to get him back which involved illegally stealing a space plane and flying to a lava moon's abandoned research center. The plan obviously failed as it was a stupid plan to say the least. We lost Jason that day to a vengeful man in a trenchcoat with the alias 'X'. He claimed that he was tortured by my dad for years at end over a millenia ago and was now using us as bait to get to him
After coming back into our plane, we did a bit of digging and found camrera footage of X's torture. The person who administered the sessions had an uncanny resemblence to my dad but upon closer inspection, he was somone else - maybe a brother. We showed X the new evidence which prompted his realisation that someone had been tricking him to get to us. Now without a reason to kill us, he let us go. We flew home and waited for whatever coming events.
In conclusion, we discovered that we are part of a something much much bigger than ourselves, and since X could have never known my father over a millenia ago without meeting him, it is safe to assume that both my dad and X are immortal.
Now here we are at the beginning of this story. Someone who looked like the man who tortured X is now the president after the previous one had been assassinated.
On we go!
