Chapter 18: A Young Mans Past And A Dead Empires History

/Two months later, The Milano, unknown location/

'It has been about a year or two since I was unfrozen from the collector's storage, saved by the Guardians of The Galaxy. I often wonder whether I'm dealing with a more MCU oriented, comic oriented or cartoon-oriented version of the group, not like it matters anyway. I'm a long way from earth and until I get back, I won't know how long has truly passed.'

My mind drifts to the little boy I held in my hands before that fateful day, I never really watched Max Steel to the end, so I didn't have any idea how bad it was to test the Turbo Star with Miles and the others. N-Tek was a secret organisation the N standing for N'Baro, but THI that was Miles' baby back home, I preferred Molly more to the business if any of my fuzzy memories about that period are to be believed. Hopefully not long has passed, I want to be part of Jakes life.

I don't remember the incident entirely heck I don't really remember my time on earth much in this life. Probably a side-effect of the Turbo star over-drafting my TURBO energy. I'm slowly healing though, if anything I'm probably even stronger now. I look at the silvery blue energy gathering in my palm, it used to be completely blue but now it's slowly turning white.

This might be due to me grabbing the power stone and joining the Guardians human chain during their fight against Ronan. I remember my name Ma'ex Ja'em Mk'rah, but that's in this life I don't remember my other life's name and from what I remember about that life it's probably a good thing I don't. I look at my cot before going back to it and falling asleep, trying to see if my dreams will tell me more about my memories.

/Ja'em's Dream (Flashback)/

Before it was me the nerdy scrawny kid who was bullied for standing up for my beliefs and not cowering under those who believed they were my betters. I would have committed suicide long before my death if it weren't for my best friend, a crippled guy who could only move his arms and head with ease, he couldn't move his legs at all, and other parts of his body gave him pain whenever he moved them.

One day we just finished watching one of the guardians of the galaxy episodes and then played some online games on pc. It was a form of escapism, me because I had no family and him because he was abandoned by his family. We stumbled upon a site; I don't remember its name but we filled it anyway detailing what we'd choose after intense discussion among ourselves. The next week I was helping him as we ran away from our bullies and then we were hit by a truck and ended up here in the Marvel Universe. We were separated for a while though.

I didn't know I was in Marvel in the beginning. I honestly thought I was in some mishmash of Max Steel and Tron. I was born the Prince of Planet Takion, one of the few planets to survive the rampage of the Gorr-the god butcher. Our gods including Tron however sacrificed themselves to keep our planet safe, creating something similar to the Morphing grid and the Grid from the Tron series. It was called the Energia grid, a source of power comparable to the uni-force, cosmic energy and what the Nova-corp used to power their helmets. That however was millions of years from my time.

Takion was a planet on which the power stone was once held. Over time the races absorbed it's energy and started to generate something similar to it. In fact, this energy became so pure it surpassed regular cosmic energy, the Celestials even deemed it secondary only to the energy of the power stone. When I arrived on Earth, I officially named it Tachyon Unlimited Radiant Bio-Optimized Energy or TURBO energy for short.

Later on, the race that would become known as Takonians absorbed Ego's seed and the Celestial seed as well officially cementing their evolution into the next stage… true humanoid life forms. The Celestials finding this out did not get angry but instead experimented on the race using the powerstone leading to the birth of the gods, Tron being the strongest followed by Zordon and the others.

These gods took it upon themselves to refine the genes of their race and make it as stable as possible. Thus, the Takonians were born. The gods crowned those who generated TURBO energy the deepest Blue and Green in colour as the royal family. That is due to their energy being the purest.

We of house Mk'rah have ruled as the Ma'ex ever since. We expanded and eventually ruled our sector, using violence only when necessary, unlike Asgard. Bigoted conquerors those Asgardians. That is the true history of planet Takion as told to me by my father during my studies and the first clue that I was in Marvel.

Since then, the royal family holds mixtures of these two colours in their TURBO energy inadvertently becoming purer due to the unions of the two clans. While the most common type of turbo energy were shades of yellow there were corrupted Turbo energy as well.

Those of the colour Violet and Red. The more vile and violent a person the closer to red, reflecting their inner self. Other colours also existed all following the trait of leaning to blue the better a person is and red the worse a person is, yellow and light-yellow orange being sort of neutral. Purple however was a special colour, the more neutral its tone the more neutral a person. However, the bluer the more honourable the person and the redder the viler a person.

There however was something else that was mentioned to me. About three thousand years ago planet Takion finally gained the technology to access the cosmic grid and use it in conjunction with our TURBO energy to create better more stable weapons. The cause of this, the invasion of the ultralinks.

No one really knows where they come from, not even me with all my memories. I guess I really should have finished the show. However, we managed to drive them off and developed technology based off what had been reverse engineered.

Our societies aesthetics slowly became similar to that of Tron our technology as well. Our scientists however never truly figured out a way to directly harness TURBO energy aside from as a charger and power source. The chi like thing didn't count since even a child who was learning to walk could do it. After three thousand years the ultralinks became a myth a legend until they were legend no more.
