An old warrior sits in an abandoned math classroom, polishing his sword. He idly looks up at the poster showing multiplication tables pealing off the wall. Wasn't this supposed to be a college? What kind of idiot doesn't know their multiplication tables by college? His train of thought is interrupted by Average Joe, a young kid with good intentions and not a lot of experience.
"Drell! I found a new stronghold!" Joe eagerly relayed.
"Mhum." The disinterest was very apparent in Drell's voice. "Angels? Demons? As if it mattered."
"Angels. Some new guys in the Nexus calling themselves Team Laser Explosion." The name meant nothing to Average Joe. But it meant so much to Drell.
Drell froze. He closed his eyes for a moment and thought back...
Drell was suddenly in another place, another time. He fought under a different banner, the banner of Trinitas. It was a time when he felt there was still hope for an alliance with some of the angels. Different times for sure. These were the days when he wielded his Flaming Sword side by side with his 2 best friends, one with a Death Sword, and one with a Thunder Sword. Together they fought. They had 1 simple rule, a rule which Drell insists on maintaining to this day. They would fight fair. If they already had the standard of an enemy faction in their stronghold, they would leave them be. It was assumed that any foe too weak to recover their standard was too weak to be a threat, and therefore too weak to be a foe. Drell remembered looking upon the collection of flags. It was not quite 100. Nearly so, but not quite 100 unique flags. And then...

This was the day. The day it fell apart.

Raven Holmes. Drell would never forget that name. She was a woman who saw the collection of flags and lusted for it. Raven Holmes would seek out those too weak to fight on their own, too weak to be considered foes and talk them into an alliance. She'd convince them to give up the one thing that had kept them safe from Trinitas. She would rob them of their protection...

And this would not be the last time their paths would cross. It seemed as though every time Raven paid them a visit, she had found more factions to trick into an alliance.

Drell opened his eyes, one hand on the head of his Origami Tiger, Mahi. He took a deep breath, but Joe spoke up first.
"They look pretty weak. I know you don't like picking on enemies who can't fight back." Joe smiled. He was a good kid. "Maybe we should wait until-"
"No." The hostility in Drell's voice caused Joe to take a step back. The old warrior took a deep breath and stood up. Mahi stepped forward, knowing what was to come. "They will come when they will. But today, I'd like to see an old friend of mine. I believe she still owes me something." _________________
