Chapter 1
(This part is brought to you by Ian, going over battle tactics)
-Baptist Hospital, Miami, Florida, America
Ian's POV.
I coughed heavily from my stage four cancer while on the hospital bed with my favorite Clone Wars book by my side. Which I have read a dozen times already, with the clones being my favorite characters. Especially Captain.Rex and Arc Troopers, thankfully I got to watch the TV show and the later season of it when I did.
After couching, my uncle, Joseph, came in as we both smiled at each other. As he had been raising since I was a baby after my parents left. "Kiddo, how are you?" he asked while coming in. As we both hugged each other, "I'm good uncle, hehe. How are you?" I replied.
"I'm alright kid, got you something" uncle said as he showed me me a cool looking book that said 'The Cardinal Heroes' while sitting down next to me.
"Whoa, thank you uncle, I'll and enjoy it as soon as possible" I truthfully said as uncle chuckled at that. "No problem, nephew" he replied, while I smiled at him.
After that, we began talking and laughing like everything was normal. Which I was grateful for, as my uncle spoke. "usually people in your position would be bitter" uncle remarked. "Ha, yeah but what good would that do? besides it's no ones fault, not even God's for he doesn't cause pain" I replied. As uncle nodded and looked down, which caused me to sigh. "Look, I am not idiot, I don't got much time left. Even after praying, which means that God is letting this happen for a reason. Maybe to wake you up uncle and get closer to him. I know your faith has lessened while focusing on me...that is way *looks at uncle Joseph with a smile* I want you to live your life the best way you can and closer to the big man upstairs. I don't want your soul to be lost, do it for yourself" I said.
This surprised uncle, as he then took a deep breath and sighed. "Alright kid, I will try" he replied before we both hugged each other.
Mini Timeskip
3rd POV.
After Joseph left, Ian lad in his hospital bed while reading the book he was given by his uncle. As the young man reading about the four cardinal heroes who fought against the wave of Catastrophe. But there was a fifth hero, one who dressed in unusual black armor. While having weapons that blue fire bolts as he fought for all races from evil like a soldier.
This peeked Ian's intrest. But when he turned to that part, the pages were blank. Which surprised him as he then sighed and then looked at his clone wars book. While suddenly felt himself getting weaker due to his sickness. As he placed a hand on the book, while resting his head back on his pillow. With him knowing that this time had come, Ian closed his eyes and drew his last breath. Just as the book of the Cardinal heroes began to glow in his hand.
-Castle Town, Melromarc
3rd POV.
In a medieval styled room, a magic circle lit up for a moment, as Ian appeared. While he looked around for a moment before noticing that was wearing black arc trooper armor. Along with him being armed with Arc Trooper weapons as well. With the armor feeling like it was a bit weighted to him. Like it was made out of stronger stuff than plastoid. "Greeting hero, and welcome to my home and country" said a feminine voice behind him. As Ian turned to see a woman of royalty with purple hair and attire.
"Uh, hi" when Ian spoke, he was surprised to hear that he had an entirely different voice. One of a an clone trooper, more specifically Captain Rex. This caused Ian to look around for a mirror, when he saw one coose by. He went to it and took off his helmet to see that he had the looks of an actual clone trooper as well. Which surprised him even more, "is everything alright? I didn't quite get your name" asked the same woman. As Ian thought quickly at this to protect himself before turning around and stood before the woman with his full attention like a solider would. "I am Arc Trooper CT-5477 but those who know me call me Midnight ma'am" he fermly and formally replied.
The woman smiled at this, as well as his features and overall gear. "Well greetings Midnight, I am Queen Mirellia Q. Melromarc. And I summoned you to defeat the Wave along with the Spear, Sword, Bow, and Shield Cardinal heroes that were summoned ahead of you" Mirellia added. While she used a chrystal ball that was held by a servant to show what he will be facing. "The Wave of catastrophe? other Cardinal heroes? hmm, I wonder I am considered an Arc hero? If that's the case" Ian thought.
"Hmm, alright, if I am going to be facing them to help. I will do it Arc Trooper style" Ian replied. As Mirellia smiled, she did not know what he meant, but she understood that he meant well and could see that had a plan. As she went and took Ian to the dragon hour and informed him. It shoes when the next attack will happen, and that's it will sent him to where it will be as well. Along with what the Shield Hero had gone through recently on false allegations. Which struck a nerve with Ian, for it was one of the things he hated. Was when innocent people get falsely accusing of doing things they did not do. As he nodded at the queen with understanding.
When that was all said and done, Ian was enough silver to start out with and headed out as the queen wished him luck while having faith in the Arc Trooper as well.
Mini Timeskip
Ian/Midnight's POV.
After I was sent on my way out the castle with a bag of silver. I began to level up as much as I could by helping innocent wherever I go. With bandit and monster problems, as well as search and rescue, and capture quests as well. While doing it to truly help them as a hero all with careful planning and battle tactics which came natural to me. Which surprised me at first, as I then came to the conclusion that it was because I am Arc Trooper now. As my level soon reached 40 within a week, from all the quests I have done. Which allowed my armor to feel lighter while still being made out of tough metals. While trying to stay away from the other heroes. But whenever I see the shield hero, I would have to convince him that I am on this side.
While I was now sitting under a tree in the woods with my helmet off. While going over my equipment and abilites so far. Though my hud, which was still weird to me in a real world such as this one. As I saw my Rotary Cannon which I can summon. Whenever I am really outnumber and dealing with big opponents. Along with my stun and thermal detonators and bombs. As well as a bacta medic pack and medicinal herbs.
Once I saw that I was stocked up on what I need along with more money from the rewards I was given. Even if I did not do it for that, I always humbly took it thanked to the people for it. While I always manage to tell them that the Shield Hero was innocent. Wherever I went while telling them to think for themselves, and the he was real hero. Which got the people to think and see things for themselves.
I then sighed at all this and hoped that I can truly make a difference. When suddenly I saw the count down for the next wave counting down. Before I quickly put on my helmet and stood up, when the counter hit zero. I was teleported away outside a town as the sky turned purple with green swirls. I then noticed a flair in the air from the air. Which ment the town was not evacuated as I gritted my teeth and headed straight for it.
"Alright, time to get to work" I said to myself while dreawing my twin blasters.
