Day One

"Zenra, the most beloved country in our planet, announced that the new age of HYPERION is under development. The Zenran-Batshevan War is now reaching its final stage. According to President Crisanda, 4 of the 7 Elgoa Gems are now on the government's possession and the search for the last 3 Elgoa-" TIKKKK, a sound of switch click when a radio got turned off. A brown-haired young man looked at the mirror, his dog tag, hanging by his neck, has the name Jon Randall on it. He touched his pale face and looked at his scar on his left cheek, remembering the day when he received the wound and Arya, his mother, came to his aid.

It's a brand new day, the war is finally reaching its end, alarming every news company about it while Jon Randall is having his breakfast on his circular small table. It's been a tough 2 months for him since his mother died of cancer. Looking at her late pictures while eating his fried egg and rice, Jon, wants to go back to the front to end his grief.

"Don't worry, Mum, I'll get you a flower once the war is over." Jon sadly smiles.

The house is completely quiet, the sound of utensils scratching the surface of the plate and the chirping of birds are the only sounds that exist. Jon remembers the front as he chews his food. The sound of explosions, gunfire, and screams are echoing his mind. The loss of a loved one and the war are visible on his face.

Jon is not a natural soldier, in fact he is a super-soldier and a member of HYPERION, a paramilitary organization of Zenra. He withdrew from the front in order to stay at his mother's side when things are going south for Arya. She taught him what it means to be good and the responsibility of having superhuman strength and agility, a gift that can be use for the good of the whole world.

After eating his breakfast, his phone rings and the name Jack Forza appeared on its wide screen.

"Sup, Bud?" Jon answered.

"Hey you good? uhm I don't know how to say this..." Jack replied.

"Yeah? I am.. Go ahead, Brother."

"Chief needs us, Man.. I know it's been hard for you but we really need to go back to our job. The war's ending. Don't worry."

"Shepard doesn't need us. He's the guy? Right?"

"Heee's busy with other stuffs. I don't know but the High Councilor marked it classified and Shepard's on it. Let's focus on our assignment."

"Aye, I'll be at the headquarters, I'll meet you there." Jon replied.

"Good."

Jon quickly grabbed and put his standard HYPERION uniform and armor on as he gazes at the window where the country's Utopian City is vivid. The economy and businesses are doing well, advanced skyscrapers reflect the clear sky, and large-healthy-green trees all over the streets, everything that Jon's eyes can see, reflects how successful country Zenra is.

Jon took a deep breathe and he grabbed and kissed his mother's picture.. "I'll be back."

At the HYPERION Headquarters, a young man is sitting at the lounge, patiently waiting. His face shows concern and optimism, and his grey-silvered hair matches his blue-gray eyes. He's holding a folder that contains the task that Shepard assigned to Jon and to him.

The lounge has a large glass wall at its right side where the green garden sits and glows with the help of sunlight.

2 flags of Zenra hanging on a wall and between the flags, a wide-screen television is spilling the news.

"President Don Crisanda visited the injured soldiers at the Wilcon Shrine Hospital, he gave our men their medals of honor and bravery. The President also asked the Batshevas People to surrender to avoid further deaths and damages." - announced by the TV News Anchor.
